Lets Talk Trees

Teagasc and the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine (DAFM), Forestry Section, are hosting a series of four forestry information events from October 15 – 23, 2024. These events are being organised to raise awareness of the excellent opportunities under the current Forestry Programme to add value to your farm and land holding. As well as providing information on the many forestry options, these meetings will also provide a great opportunity to engage with Teagasc and DAFM staff on a one-to-one basis to have all your queries addressed.

Each event is run over a half day, from 10.00 am, opening with 3 short presentations. Presenters will include a farmer forest owner, providing valuable insights on her/his own forestry experiences.

Following these presentations, there will be good opportunity to engage individually with DAFM and Teagasc staff with individual booths set up at each venue. These individual clinics will provide a good opportunity to and have all you forestry questions answered.

• Three short presentations, including a farm forestry case study
• Full Afforestation Grant and Premium details
• How forestry fits in with your farm and other schemes
• Information on existing forestry management support schemes
• Individual support clinics with DAFM/Teagasc staff
