Forest Village
Don’t miss the Forest Village at the Tullamore Show! Organised by Teagasc’s Forestry Development Department, over twenty organisations and companies will showcase many facets of Ireland’s rapidly developing farm forestry and renewable energy sectors in Tullamore.
Farmers and other landowners who are considering forestry and woodland creation can receive up- to-date information on the current highly attractive supports under the DAFM Forestry Programme 2023 – 2027, including 12 Forest Types available under the Afforestation Scheme and scenarios

If you have questions regarding renewable energy then do visit the Forest Village: latest technologies on solar panels, various boiler systems and efficient firewood stoves will be on display.
