About Coillte

Established in 1989, Coillte is proud to be the custodian of 440,000 hectares or 7% of Ireland’s land. This is primarily forested land and makes Coillte Ireland's largest forest manager and largest provider of outdoor recreation. Coillte also develops green energy projects, produces panel boards and delivers nature conservation projects of scale. Coillte is focused on delivering the multiple benefits from its forests and land for climate, nature, wood and people. Coillte is part of a wider forestry sector, that together manages approximately 11% of Ireland's land, supports 12,000 jobs and contributes €2.3bn to the economy annually. Our purpose is to manage the state forests on behalf of the people of Ireland. Our vision is to create a sustainable future for all. Our mission is to balance and deliver the multiple benefits of our forests to society.
