Irish Forestry Show 2015

The Irish Forestry, Woodland and Bio-Energy Show (to give it its full and splendid title) is one for the diary; to be held on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th May 2015 at the beautiful Stradbally Hall Estate in Co. Laois. This is great show to visit, camp in the grounds with fellow arborists – beers around the camp fire – and check out machinery and timber-related goods but more importantly the opportunity to enter the Irish National Tree Climbing Championships sponsored by Husqvarna.
