The Forestry and Energy Section is not to be missed at this year’s Tullamore Show. Co-ordinated by the Teagasc Forestry Development Department, it will host a wide range of trade stands from across the forestry and renewable energy sectors and will showcase an array of products, services and activities.

With a growing awareness of the many environmental, social and economic benefits that trees can provide on the farm, a wealth of information will be available at the Forestry and Energy Section.

Whether you have an interest in trees, farm forests, timber products or wood markets, you will be spoilt for choice with the range of exhibitors on show. All aspects of the forest cycle from tree planting and forest management to wood utilisation and timber sales options will be represented on the day.

There is also growing interest in the wood as a clean green, home grown fuel source. Wood-based energy is also a proven technology with high efficiency and can provides great potential on the farm.
