[LEAF Ireland @LEAFIreland]

During their School Based Workshop, students from St. Nessan’s, Limerick, planted 28 acorns, creating their own Little Woodland. Next year the young saplings will be planted in their school grounds or in their community🌳 @coilltenews @teagascforestry @_FIIreland @agriculture_ie

[LEAF Ireland @LEAFIreland]

100 school across Ireland are learning about the multi-functional benefits of forests & the endless resources & opportunities they provide🌳#BetterWithForests @FEELEAFInt @teagascforestry @coilltenews @agriculture_ie

[John Sherlock | Sherlogs Firewood & Craft Timber @SherlockGates]

Processing locally grown timber for Sherlogs Craft Timber . Using unsuitable timber for Carbon neutral firewood . This is a true circular economy example.

Some Irish Poplar cut and sticked for drying. Cut from logs with an average diameter of 400mm. Any suggestions for some end uses???? #Woodworking #Irishforestry #wood #milling #enduses #irishgrown #addedvalue

One thing the group learned during our study tour to Wales are the great benefits of applying close to nature systems for hardwood production. ie Continuous Cover Forestry Management (CCF) #forestry #CCF #hardwoodproduction

[ATU Connemara @ATU_Connemara]

First year GMIT Letterfrack students recently planted acorns kindly donated by @coilltenews nursery in Carlow. The students learnt about the complete lifecycle from seed to furniture.
Each student will take a sapling with them upon their #graduation from #gmitletterfrack

[Save Soil - Cauvery Calling Fan community @rallyforrivers]

Agroforestry can be custom-made to suit the needs of the farmers and Qasim, an agro farmer from Srirangapatna, proves this fact by making use of four different combinations of trees in a single piece of land.

When visiting our forests, protect people's health and respect nature by disposing of waste properly. Keep our woodlands clean we all play a part. https://t.co/IVHXncTTJo #cleanup #leavenotrace

Sunday's @businessposthq on the use of #timber in construction | "We grow trees faster than anyone and we need to put that timber to work in our built environment" #climate #forestry #trees

[New-Broadleaf-Forests @Irish_Forestry]

Learning about log conversion @WhitneySawmill . Calculated the value of some oak logs based on their characteristics and what was learned during the course. We then converted them into planks before finding out how close (or not so close) our valuations actually were. #Foresty

[New-Broadleaf-Forests @Irish_Forestry]

An innovative use for small diameter logs see on a recent trip to the UK at Kenton Jones (Welshpool Wales) and Coed Cymru. Hexagonal end-grain tiles. #Forestry #Innovation #SmallDiameterWood #Utilisation #ideas

[Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine @agriculture_ie]

The Woodland Environmental Fund (WEF) is a scheme for businesses to part-fund the creation of native woodlands, creating business value from restoring Ireland’s native woodland
🌳

An Post @Postvox have established a native woodland in Galway under the WEF

[New-Broadleaf-Forests @Irish_Forestry]

Recent trip to @WhitneySawmill Woodland to Workshop course. Fantastic learning opportunity for all, covering; silviculture, tree and log valuation, log conversion and end uses which helps bridge the gap between grower and end user. #Forestry #Wood #HoppusFoot #Learning
