Teagasc’s Forestry Development Department provides integrated forestry research, advisory and education services which allows for rapid and effective dissemination of research through knowledge transfer and educational initiatives. The objective of the forestry research and knowledge transfer programme is to develop forests and forest management systems that maximize the potential of farm forestry from economic, social and environmental perspectives. 

The INHFA was established in Feb 2015 to represent farmers on hill designated and environmentally valuable land. The organisation strives to keep the family farm viable and ensure the farming way of life that has evolved in regions like ours is valued from both an agricultural & environmental point of view. The INHFA is a nationwide organisation and aims to highlight the challenges faced by farmers in the more marginalised areas of the country.
