Teagasc in association with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) are organising a nationwide series of forest walks from 21 March to 1 April focusing on forest establishment and the management of young forests. At these events, forestry experts from Teagasc and the Department will explain why it is essential to plant trees and care for young forests.
This walk will take place on Tuesday 22 March 2022 near Headford, Co Galway. We will be visiting a sheep farm with recently planted silvopastoral agroforestry plots. We will discuss benefits of agroforestry, planting design, incentives, and integration on the farm and farming schemes.
Please note: this walk starts at 2pm. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear.
Upon registration, you will receive an email with meeting point details including an Eircode.
