Strategic Vision for our Future Forest Estate

Forests have never been more relevant. They help tackle climate change, supply sustainable wood products to help build our homes, provide valuable habitats for wildlife, and offer recreational places for people to enjoy bringing benefits our well-being.

Coillte, as Ireland’s semi-state forestry company, has a key role to play in the achievement of Ireland’s Climate action targets.

Our vision is to create a sustainable future for all from our forests. We want to leave an enriched resource for the next generation.

Our Strategic Vision for Our Future Forest Estate sets out our high-level ambitions for our forest estate to 2050. This Strategic Vision aims to balance and deliver the multiple benefits from our forests, bring more focus to climate action, biodiversity and recreation while continuing to deliver for the forest and wood product industry.

Our ambition is to create new forests, manage our existing forests for great carbon capture and provide more habitats to enhance biodiversity. We’ll support creating new homes by delivering sustainable Irish wood products. And we’ll increase the number of beautiful forest recreation spaces for everyone to enjoy.
