Private forest owners are encouraged to seek forestry advice from their local producer  group, Teagasc forestry adviser, Forest Service inspectors and independent foresters to make an informed decision on the management of your forestry.

Active forest management  from the outset will improve the productivity of the plantation and final clearfell value.  The Department have various grants available to assist in the development of site infrastructure and crop management. Private forest owners should refer to their local producer group or their local Teagasc adviser to understand types of timber sales and current timber product prices.
