At Manch The Irish Natural Forestry Foundation has established, in conjunction with the owner, a centre of excellence to demonstrate and promote natural Irish forestry that is economically as well as socially and environmentally beneficial. Broadleaf plantings demonstrate sustainable management and regeneration techniques for Continuous Forest Cover which ensures minimum disruption to woodland ecosystems. Not to be missed. See http ://www.inff.ie/index.php?cat=4 for more details.
