Primary Activity: Forestry
{"Image DocumentName": "Primary Activity: Forestry", "Image ImageDescription": "Approx 10% of Ireland is covered in forest. The climate and relief of this region means that many farmers are part-time foresters also. The mountains slopes of the region are unsuitable for most types of farming so used for tree growth instead. This land is called \u2018marginal land\u2019. Galway and Mayo are the most forested areas of this peripheral region with coniferous trees such as Pine most suitable to the acidic soils of the area. Coillte (Irish semi-state company) planted 30,000 hectares of conifers in the West especially in areas around Lough Mask, Conn and Corrib.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
