ABOUT OUR WEBSITE

"A dynamic campaigning website that provides an environmental news service and highlights many local issues, such as clear-felling in Irish forests or the Coastwatch Ireland campaign against cockle dredging in Waterford Bay."

Silvia Thompson, Horizons, Irish Times, 27 October, 2007

ABOUT THE FOREST NETWORK NEWSLETTER

"Friends of the Irish Environment will, no doubt, continue to match Coillte's ecological promises against what happens on the ground. The NGO's Forest Network Newsletter, generally hostile and unforgiving, but often revelatory, is archived at the FIE website."
