This silvopastoral system was planted in 2020 under the afforestation programme agroforestry grant Forest Type 8 option. The overall area of this plot is 2.86 ha and trees were planted at a density of 400 trees per hectare. It was planted using 60% Pedunculate oak and 40% additional broadleaves – Downy birch, Cherry, Hazel, English walnut, Beech and Norway maple. Sheep are grazed between the trees. This farm is a good example of a silvopastoral agroforestry system on free draining brown soil in the west of Ireland.
