2020 Forestry Knowledge Transfer Scheme
Knowledge Transfer Groups (KTGs) are a great and enjoyable way to share knowledge and best practice. Participants get to know their neighbours better and can learn from each other’s experience.
Discussions are facilitated by a professional forester and will incorporate both classroom-style learning as well as forest visits. Most groups will commence late August / early September.
Each KTG participant will receive €70 per meeting attended. The maximum payment to each participant is €490. Each KT Group can have a maximum of 20 participants. Each participant will need to attend 7 meetings or outdoor events in order to complete the programme. Participants who have not taken part in a Forestry KT Group in the previous three years are eligible to take part this year.
If you are a forest owner and you would like to participate in a forestry KT Group near you, contact one of the Organisers listed alphabetically per county from the table below.
Please note: KT Organisers and Facilitators are required to adhere to all public health measures set out in the official guidance. Guidance and measures may change at short notice.
