The event will be hosted by Teagasc Forestry Development Department and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM).
During the event, there will be two short presentations from DAFM and Teagasc, which will focus on Afforestation grant and premium details, and how forestry complements other farm income support measures.
A panel discussion featuring a farmer sharing their forestry journey, why they chose to plant, and how it works alongside their farm enterprise.
Each event is run over an evening and opens with two short presentations followed by a conversation with a farmer discussing their forestry journey.
