Coillte

Coillte is the state-owned organisation that manages Ireland’s national forests in a sustainable and environmentally sensitive manner, thus delivering benefits to local communities and the wider society.
Their motto is to Grow-Transform-Sustain. This year, the Dublin Mountains forest uplands that are under Coillte’s care are undergoing a regeneration to make a more diverse, resilient, multi-generational and sustainable amenity for nature and the public and this is known as The Dublin Mountains makeover.
