The Teagasc Forestry and Energy Section will be one of the major attractions at this year’s Tullamore Show.

It will showcase many facets of Ireland’s rapidly developing farm forestry and renewable energy sectors. With hi-tech machines, and an array of indoor and outdoor exhibits, the Forestry and Energy Section is not to be missed in Tullamore.

The Tullamore Show takes place this Sunday 11 August 2013 Blueball, Tullamore, Co Offaly. The Tullamore Show is Ireland’s largest agricultural one day event with hundreds of trade stands and displays.

Liam Kelly, Forestry Adviser with Teagasc and main organiser of the Forestry and Energy Section at the Tullamore Show explained what people can expect to see on the day.

“Timber extraction machines, wood chippers, firewood processors and other wood processing equipment will be on display”.

He continued: “Naturally enough, we will also promote new planting because of the great opportunities provided by a farm forest enterprise enhancing family farm income. Farmers and landowners who are considering forestry or are at the thinning stage will find comprehensive and practical advice available from Teagasc, forestry companies and other forestry organisations.”

A visit to the Forestry and Energy Section in Tullamore provides an excellent opportunity to meet key players from the forestry sector. This is a great opportunity to avail of free, comprehensive and up to date information on forestry and wood energy – our growing sustainable natural resource.
