Carlow - Ireland, Carlow The forest service in Ireland provides picnic and walking areas like this one on the hills above Carlow. Beech trees have been nurtured here over the past sixty years where initially conifers were planted here in re-afforestation programs in the 1950s. The calm cold weather of the past month has set nthe canopy on fire with colour

jacko1 - Nov, 01 2010 05:11pm Good description Hugh, conifers have their place but too much planting, although providing quick timber, allows very little to grow beneath them, ash oak, beech birch, elm & others make up a true forest! siffer - Nov, 09 2010 01:11pm now that looks like a path i could go down very easily. nice.
