For the Future

Social, Economic Environmental Forestry Association of Ireland

OUR MISSION

Who We Are

We are a private sector group who have come together to highlight inadequacies in the systems
which are hampering the industry.

The group will be highlighting progress and lack thereof, of the development of a sustainable
forestry sector in Ireland.

Promoting forestry related information, news and events taking place, to support the sector.

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.
