CELT is celebrating 25 years as a registered charity providing training in environmental education & regenerative cultures including traditional skills, sustainable living, nature conservation & protection. CELT is a registered charity providing education, training and awareness-raising activities in environmental issues, skills for sustainable living and nature conservation. Through skills training events and exhibitions we promote traditional skills to keep them alive and relevant to our modern society…and as a way of encouraging community to engage with their heritage in an empowering sustainable way. Our popular Traditional skills weekend event 'Weekend in the Hills' is focussed on offering a wide range of traditional skills bringing together local and national experts in a creative supportive atmosphere that enables a great hands on experience for all participants…including Adventure Bushcraft courses for kids. We also provide biodiversity surveys, help to plan and install nature trails and offer educational guided woodland walks, with the aim of connecting local communities to their local natural environment via improved access and educational opportunity. In promoting practical everyday environmental living and ecological awareness educational activities we are able to offer support to local and national environmental campaigns and actively collaborate with others engaged in working in these areas. CELT also has a Native Tree Nursery specialising in certified native trees, shrubs plus fruit and nut varieties all suitable for agroforestry systems or forest-gardens and offer information and planting advice.

FARM FORESTRY ACTION OPEN DAY
September 27 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Timber and Non-Timber Uses of Broadleaf Woodland & Agroforestry

Join us for a practical day exploring the many ways trees can be integrated into a working farm — from producing valuable timber and firewood to fruit, nuts, mushrooms, honey, livestock shelter and biodiversity.

Taking place at the Slieve Aughty Centre, our family farm, guesthouse and activity centre in Co. Galway, the day will showcase a range of woodland and agroforestry projects already being developed on the farm.

The programme will include practical demonstrations and guided walks covering:

Broadleaf woodland management and growing quality timber
Agroforestry and silvopasture for sheep, cattle and horses
Native woodland establishment and management
Timber harvesting and low-impact extraction
Horse logging and low-impact forwarding
On-farm timber processing, including mobile sawmilling, post making and firewood processing
Fruit and nut trees, including pruning and maintenance
Woodland mushrooms and other non-timber forest products
Beekeeping, woodland and pollinators
Deer management and venison
There will also be an opportunity to see how timber produced through woodland management can be processed and put back into use on the farm, including fencing and other farm forestry infrastructure.

The emphasis is on practical experience and discussion rather than classroom presentations. Come along to see what is being done, ask questions and explore the opportunities and challenges of incorporating trees into a working farm.

This event is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
