Discover how to design resilient forests for the future
Are you planting a new forest, replanting after storm damage or simply curious about climate-resilient forestry?
Join us for a half-day workshop, combining indoor and on-site discussions, led by expert CCF foresters Manus Crowley and Sean Hoskins.
- Learn about FT10-CCF, a new planting option in Ireland, designed for increased forest resilience to climate change, pests, diseases and storm damage
- Understand how diverse forests planted under FT10-CCF can produce long-lived timber products to maximise carbon storage, while promoting biodiversity and healthy forest ecosystems
- Explore how to balance economic, environmental and cultural values in your forest
What you’ll gain:
- A clear, practical understanding of FT10-CCF forest design principles
- Fresh insights into a resilient alternative to traditional forest creation
- Expert guidance on selecting diverse species and on group mixtures
- A guided field walk of an FT10-CCF site to see design theory brought to life
- Valuable information on current financial supports available from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to support this type of resilient forest creation
Ideal For:
