OUR MISSION

Who We Are

We are a private sector group, formed to highlight the forestry industry Ireland. Our aim is to draw focus on the development of a sustainable forestry sector in Ireland; through the promotion of forestry-related information, news and events.

Our Vision

We would like to see a sustainable forestry sector emerge in Ireland, that can achieve commercial, climate and biodiversity goals. We want to see a reduction in the volume of imported timber, and improvements to the current licensing system which are holding back the potential of the industry.
