This year’s focus

With timber prices generally high at the moment, now is a good time to focus in on your forest’s potential. Teagasc's Forestry Development Department runs this timber marketing day to give forest owners with timber to sell, the opportunity to meet with timber buyers, harvesting contractors and foresters.

This year’s focus is on realising the potential from your forest. Topics covered include:

  • being market-ready
  • current market conditions
  • case studies of private forest sales
  • latest research on thinning and harvesting
