County Clare in Ireland is home to over 2,000 forest owners, largely from farming backgrounds. The two main reasons why forestry is becoming popular in Clare are the levels of grant money and premium available and also the fact that forestry is seen as a better use of marginal land.

I visited one such forest to see what effect intensive foresting has on the landscape and at Illaunbawn, near Lahinch I could see that while foresting is obviously a welcome income boost in the long term for farming families there is no doubt but that there is an awful mess left behind once harvesting has begun. The devastation is Hiroshima-like with tree roots, branches and general timber debris left over.

All pics taken with:
Calumet cc-4402 Wide Field Large Format Camera
120mm Schneider Angulon
F22 for 1/2 second
Fomapan 100 rated at 50 iso
Rodinal 1:100 semi stand for 30 mins

Thank you Simon.

Glad you found them interesting. I will be looking at other plantations to see what I can get imagewise but it's a start at least.
