Forestry seminar identifies wood from the trees

Over 500 forest owners attended the recent timber marketing events organised by Teagasc in counties Limerick and Leitrim, aimed at those who have forests approaching the thinning stage.

They were able to engage with and build linkages with the sector, represented by over 40 trade standholders at the events.

Dr Nuala Ni Fhlatharta, head of Teagasc’s Forestry Development Department, said: “It was most encouraging to see the level of interaction between forest owners and the wide range of organisations and companies across the timber-processing sector.”
