Abstract
This case study describes recent developments at Dunranhill Forest, County Wicklow, Ireland. The forest was established in the early 1980s as a commercial Sitka spruce plantation. Currently it is being transformed to continuous cover forestry (CCF). The owners are among the first to join the new CCF Woodland Improvement Scheme launched in 2019 by the Irish Forest Service.
