===Forest=== The county has roughly {{convert|37,500|ha|acres}} of wooded area, the 8th highest total forest cover in Ireland. In terms of forest cover as a proportion of land area, Wicklow ranks second in the country, at 18.5%.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/823b8-irelands-national-forest-inventory/|title=National Forestry Inventory, Fourth Cycle 2012|work=DAFM|date=16 December 2020 |access-date=12 June 2023}}</ref> Known as the "Garden of Ireland", Wicklow was historically the county with the highest percentage of woodlands. The 2017 National Forestry Inventory revealed that [[County Leitrim]] had overtaken it for the first time. Wicklow is in a [[temperate broadleaf and mixed forests]] [[biome]], although the majority of Wicklow's forests are commercial [[conifer]]s. The economic [[tree line]] in the region is around {{convert|400|m|ft}}, above which [[hill farming]] and [[blanket bog]] dominates.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.coford.ie/media/coford/content/publications/projectreports/speciesmanual.pdf|title=A Guide to Forest Tree Species Selection and Silviculture in Ireland|work=Council for Forest Research and Development|access-date=24 August 2021|archive-date=12 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201112022515/http://www.coford.ie/media/coford/content/publications/projectreports/speciesmanual.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> {{Geography of County Wicklow|state=collapsed}}
