Forestry Phone-In Clinics

23 November – 4 December 2020

Teagasc is holding a nationwide series of phone-in advisory clinics to help landowners who are thinking about forestry to get their questions answered.

Running between 23 November and 4 December, landowners can avail of a private one-to-one consultation with an experienced forestry adviser by telephone call or by zoom call.

The nationwide series of 27 clinics is organised by the Teagasc Forestry Development Department to help landowners make informed decisions about planting by providing objective and independent advice and information.

Planting is a big decision and can raise many questions. A phone-in or zoom consultation with your local Teagasc forestry adviser will provide an opportunity to get answers to your questions and inform your decision-making about forestry as a sustainable land use option.

For example:

• What planting grants and premiums are available?
• How does forestry interact with other farm schemes, e.g. BPS, GLAS, etc.?
• What forest management schemes are available?
• What to expect from harvesting and timber sales?

Existing forest owners are also welcome to avail of the clinics to discuss how best to manage their forests.

To avail of a clinic consultation prior booking is essential. The consultations will be by telephone call or by zoom call, depending on your request.

The phone-in clinics provides an ideal opportunity to get answers to your forestry questions – don’t miss out, book your place today!
