Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The Department issues forestry related circulars to the forestry sector on a regular basis throughout the year.

These circulars are issued to the trade and clarify or amend Department policy. Such policy clarification or change would then fall to be implemented by Department staff as per the contents of the circular.
