Delivering the multiple benefits of our forests for climate, nature, wood and people

Forests for a Greener Future

Forests have an important role to play in the achievement of Ireland’s Climate Action targets. That’s why at Coillte, we manage our forests sustainably, to help combat climate change, to supply wood and wood products for building low- carbon homes, to enhance and restore biodiversity, and to provide beautiful places for people to enjoy.

We are focused on balancing and delivering the multiple benefits of our forests, for climate, nature, wood, and people, ensuring that, working together, we are delivering a greener future for all.
