#TuesdayTrees. In 1900 only 2% of land was covered in forestry. Today it stands at 12%. Much of this growth is down to the 24,000 farmers that added forestry to their farm enterprise. Forestry has many benefits and are outlined in the video below. youtu.be/YCyOqe5--so
Integration of trees on the farm offers multiple benefits that align with Ireland’s commitment to environmental and economic goals. Pádraic O’Leary, @teagascforestry tells us more here bit.ly/3Ch7OsV

Great day sharing agroforestry knowledge today at Biofarm. Huge interest in FT8 and pilots from Organic Farmers across the Island of Ireland. Thanks to team @NatOrgSkill for another great conference! Graphics by Hazel Hurley. @agriculture_ie
Apart from growing #trees and #farming side-by-side, farmers who opt for #agroforestry can also stack Basic Income Support for #Sustainability (BISS) and the #Organic Farming Scheme (OFS) with agroforestry premiums (€975/ha per annum for 10 years) on the same land. 🌳🐑

#TuesdayTrees. Limerick farmer, Liam Bresnan, converted part of his dairy farm to Forestry in 2000. He claims it was one of the best decisions he's made. He is now in the Continuous Cover Forestry Scheme. Forestry Booklet: gov.ie/forestrybooklet youtu.be/Tu2AU0V6YQs

🌳#Agroforestry is an ideal scheme for farmers who wish to plant trees & farm on the same land in Ireland. They can cut silage & hay, run sheep or cattle while protecting their trees. Establishment grant is €8555/hectare & 10 annual tax free payments of €9750 or €975 per year.
Oak is a species for foresters and landowners who take the long view. Income is for future generations, but the cultural and ecological rewards are great. Establishment grant is €1,037/hectare and 20 annual premiums for a farmer over €22,000/hectare – 15 years for non-farmer.
📢Tree planting grants of €6,774/ha & annual tax-free premiums of €1,103/ha are available for 20 years for farmers & 15 years for non-farmers. The separate Native Woodland Area (NTA) scheme provides annual premiums of €2,206/ha for 10 years for small plantations up to 2ha. 🌳
