Call for forest-thinning programme
Teagasc national forestry development officer Jim Reidy was speaking at the announcement of nine regional meetings on forest-thinning, which will be run jointly by Teagasc and the Forest Service between October 28 and November 4.
“Effective thinning is fast-becoming an urgent issue on a significant number of farm forests. Owners are now actively seeking information on the best way of doing the job, the costs and likely markets for thinnings,” he said.
