Forests are the lungs of the planet!  Coillte’s Irish forests absorb CO2, store carbon, and substitute for carbon-heavy materials.

Ireland’s Largest Outdoor Playground! Coillte’s 6,000 forests offer incredible spaces for cycling, hiking, and more—supporting rural tourism & the development of local communities. #ForestsForPeople

[Coillte @coilltenews]

Forests are important habitats for wildlife and home to many of Ireland’s wild animals and plants. That’s why Coillte is increasing the area of its forest estate managed primarily for nature to 30% (an additional 44,000 ha) by the end of next year! #ForestsForNature

[Coillte @coilltenews]

Forests are key to Ireland’s #ClimateAction goals. Coillte’s plan?! Balance the benefits of forests for climate, nature, wood & people & capture c.28m tonnes of CO2 by 2050.
