CELT are running 2 courses end of this month which are an introduction to Agroforestry which is about integrating trees into gardens or farms (but not as separate plantation areas) so that there are benefits to both trees and crops (or grazing animals, poultry, geese) providing added value to the production from the land. Course tutors are Saul Mosbacher - 'Trees for Food' (CELT tree nursery manager) and Sandro Cafolla - 'Introduction to Agroforestry Design' (permaculture specialist and owner / manager of 'Design by Nature'). The courses are subsidised and are therefore only 25 euro and 30 euro per day (20 euro concessions).
