Woodlands of Ireland is a not-for-profit charity dedicated to the conservation and expansion of native semi-natural woodlands since 1998. It is an inclusive organisation whose primary objectives are:

to generate awareness of native woodlands amongst policy makers and the general public
to develop projects and sustainable management strategies aimed at ensuring the future viability of native woodlands

Both objectives are often addressed together in a partnership format, especially through the implementation of flagship projects, training courses, technical publications, policy development and the provision of support at local level.

Most of our funding comes from government sources, however in order to maintain and expand our work we welcome donations from the general public. We also have a supporter membership you can join to help us carry out projects.
