National Forest Inventory
The purpose of the National Forest Inventory (NFI) is to record and assess the extent and nature of Ireland’s forests, both public and private, in a timely, accurate and reproducible manner. Reliable, current and consistent information is required to inform domestic forest policy, to support forest research and fulfil national and international reporting commitments.
For more information, see National Forest Inventory, DAFM.
The Fourth Cycle (2022) results were published in Spring 2023. See NFI Main Findings 2022.
