The Society has an active annual communications programme which comprises:

• Conferences – A conference addressing a topical forestry theme is held annually, often in conjunction with other organisations.
• Public Lectures –  The Augustine Henry and the Sean McBride lectures are held annually which deal with a wide range of issues concerning trees and forests and their interaction with society and the environment.
• Field days – At least four field days are held in various locations throughout the country which provide participants the opportunity to view and discuss various aspects of forest management.
• Study tours – An annual study tour is organised for members which is usually held in venues overseas. Past tours have included visits to forests in Europe, USA, Canada, South Africa.
