Tree Planting Day
Get the know how; whether you’re planting 10 trees or 10,000 trees
National Demonstration organised by Teagasc’s Forestry Development Department and the Forest Service.
Tree planting, at whatever the scale is a significant undertaking. The few basic decisions that are taken at planting will determine the results over many years.
This live demo will discuss all aspects of tree planting whether you have a tree or hedgerow planting project as part of REPS or you are considering planting under an afforestation grant scheme.
Live demonstrations will showcase best practice regarding ground preparation, fencing, and planting. Early management of the young forest will also be discussed. Teagasc and the Forest Service encourage all landowners with an interest in farm forestry to attend this event to find out the latest, up-to-date information regarding forestry grant schemes.

- Overview of current forestry schemes
