Welcome to the Irish Timber Growers Association

The Irish Timber Growers Association (ITGA) was formed in 1977 to support the development and expansion of private sector forestry in Ireland and to represent and inform woodland owners.
It is now the recognised national representative body of private woodland owners in Ireland. The Association is particularly concerned that private plantations achieve their maximum potential by the implementation of good forest management practises throughout their rotation.

Pictured at the launch of the 2012 Forestry Yearbook were, Donal Whelan, ITGA Technical Director, Minister of State Shane McEntee TD and Brendan Lacey, ITGA Chairman
