Irish Wood Producers in collaboration with the Irish Forest Owners, the Society of Irish Foresters and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine present a series of weekly webinars.
I know that Scottish woodlands would have experience with CCF.
Great to hear that there's weekly webinars. We've recently installed, with help from the Woodland trust, a Wakelyns/StephenBrigg/RichardPerkin hybrid- creating 23m wide alleys, with fruit trees and shrubs planted in the tree rows (on 3m strips, that will be allowed to naturally regenerate into wildflower), a 1m buffer, and then an 18m cropping alley (allowing for arable). Exciting to see how it progresses having just been through our fiirst growing season with it!
This is great. Thank you for sharing. Really interested to find out how to achieve continuous cover forestry in small farm woodland blocks so we can avoid the impacts of clearfell

Hi William, You may also find some useful information on how to thin trees on agroforestry plots here https://www.soilassociation.org/media/19141/the-agroforestry-handbook.pdf. You can also email an ASK US query to our main email irishagroforestryforum@ gmail.com and it will be circulated to our advisory group. Thanks. Maureen
