Place & story

Two planting periods

The Irish Forestry Unit Trust’s 2025–2029 Stacks Mountains plan lists a 33.83-hectare forest property named Tooreen Duagh, established around 1989. It records a second, smaller property of 7.40 hectares, Tooreen Duagh 2, with establishment dated approximately 1993–95. These entries document late twentieth-century forestry associated with the locality. Their areas and planting dates describe the individual forest properties, rather than the whole townland. [2]
