Teagasc hosts timber resource virtual event
The challenges and opportunities to successfully bring the country’s rapidly expanding timber resource to market will be outlined at an online marketing event tomorrow. It has been organised by Teagasc in co-operation with Forest Industries Ireland and the Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine as more private forests reach thinning stage.
Annual timber production from the sector is expected to increase seven-fold to almost 3 million cubic metres by 2028. Tomorrow’s online event is aimed at informing and supporting owners preparing to thin their conifer forests, grow quality timber and sell it successfully.
