SUMMARY:Farm walks 2025 - Gerard Deegan 'Composting\, Biochar and Continuous Cover Forestry for Beef Farms'
DESCRIPTION:Gerard Deegan is a lifelong farmer from Co. Westmeath. The farm has been certified organic for over 20 years. Originally a dairy farmer\, Gerard transitioned to a mixed beef and forestry enterprise back in 2012. There is now 100 acres of forestry on the land – 50% hardwood and 50% softwood. Gerard is an advocate for diverse forestry systems\, he practices continuous cover forestry and has incorporated wildlife strips between rows of trees. There are approximately 60 different species of trees on the farm – including Norway spruce\, Scots pine\, Larch\, Douglas Fir\, Ash\, Oak\, Sycamore\, Beech and many more. Gerard won the RDS Farm Forestry Award in 2019. Additionally\, he manages a small suckler herd producing organic beef. He also keeps bees\, producing honey for neighbours and friends. \n\n\n\nGerard holds a holistic outlook on his farm\, understanding and valuing the importance of every living creature on the land – from the microscopic soil fungi to the cattle\, from the bees to the oak trees. “The bees are a lesson in life. They have taught me a lot about nature. How we are all connected\, and how everyone has a role to play\, no matter how big or small that role may be…” An advocate for the importance of community\, Gerard is involved in Social Farming and a member of Leitrim Organic Farmers Coop since 1990. \n\n\n\nGerard does composting as source of fertility for his fields as well as producing biochar from Ash trees affected by die-back. He uses mob-grazing methods to manage his grasslands. \n\n\n\nTo learn more on his various ways for farming for nature\, join us on his farm walk.https://www.youtube.com/embed/1kH1hM8FBuo \n\n\n\nAre you starting out on your nature-friendly farming journey and don’t know where to start?

For more info https://www.farmingfornature.ie/your-farm/advice/the-horses-mouth/ \n\n\n\nWHAT ARE THE FARM WALKS: \n\n\n\n\nThis will be a 2.5 hour (approx.) visit to the farm and will include a walk around with the farmer\, a look at some of the habitats/species\, as well as the livestock and/or crops. Feel free to engage with the farmer about how they manage the land in support of nature.\n\n\n\nThese walks are for farmers and people with an interest in farming for nature. They are meant to be an interactive knowledge exchange. They are not suitable for children\, or for people/groups looking for an ‘organised walk’ in the countryside.\n\n\n\nThese walks are non-profit but a booking fee is necessary to minimise no-shows. It costs €12 to register and all funds are circulated back into the farming community.\n\n\n\nPlease wear suitable footwear for uneven and potentially muddy conditions.\n\n\n\nDogs are not welcome. You will be turned away if you arrive with one. We would ask that you please respect these farmers\, their land and livestock when visiting. \n\n\n\nPlease arrive at least 10 minutes before the walk commences.\n\n\n\n\nThank you to the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Department of Agriculture\, Food and the Marine for supporting these farm walks. \n\n\n\nFor more info on FFN events\, resources\, programmes – go to www.farmingfornature.ie
