Forestry Clinics Jan 2020

A nationwide series of forestry clinics for people who are considering forestry, or who are existing forest owners, has been organised by Teagasc’s Forestry Development Department. These one-to-one consultations are being held between January 20 and 30.

These clinics will be held in Teagasc offices around the country where a one-to one consultation with an experienced forestry adviser can be arranged by appointment.

Prior booking of a one to one forestry consultation is essential. To book your free consultation, please see table below for contact details. Please bring maps and other relevant information on the day to optimise the advisory experience and outcome.

The Forestry Programme offers landowners and existing forest owners many options in relation to forest establishment with a range of attractive grants and annual premium categories available.

A land use change to forestry, like any new farm enterprise, will raise many questions. A consultation with your Teagasc forestry adviser will provide independent and objective advice, empowering you to make informed decisions on many relevant issues including the following:

• Opportunities for farmers and other landowners under the Forestry Programme 2014-2020
• Available grants and premiums
• Interaction with other farm schemes, e.g. BPS, GLAS, etc.
• How forestry can improve farm income and the environment
• How to apply and get the job done right first time
• Harvesting and timber sales
