Traditionally, Forestry is the art, science, and practice of managing forests and the environment. The forestry and timber sector in Ireland includes growing the forests, harvesting and haulage, and the processing of the various wood products. With its climate and suitable soils, Ireland can grow many tree species considerably faster than its European neighbours giving Ireland a strong comparative advantage in the growing of wood fibre. Forestry today has developed a more technological focus with exciting innovations improving the ways in which we collect and manage data enabling Coillte to becoming a market leader worldwide in terms of Forest Technology.
