Marteloscope workshop: Forest Management for biodiversity and resilience

Outdoor Forest training is back this September with two new workshops on offer to forest owners, also relevant to forestry professionals and the general public.

In this specially designed outdoor workshop, you will learn about the range of flora fauna and fungi that inhabit or forests. We will explore connections between biodiversity and forest ecosystem functioning and what are the main forest characteristics that support high level of forest biodiversity. In particular during the workshop participants will train in new simple survey methodologies to help forest owners asses the biodiversity potential value of their forest and how this knowledge might inform future management to enhance biodiversity and resilience.

This workshop will take place in our marteloscope forest training facility at the Teagasc Oak Park Research Centre near Carlow Town.
