'Doyle Highlights Measures to Encourage Wood Mobilisation'

(1/6/2016)

In his address to the National Forestry Conference, Minister of State Andrew Doyle, TD, noted the recent launch of the Irish Timber Growers Association Wood Price Quarterly initiative, adding that "While the ITGA's roundwood price database has been in operation since 2005, important information on the value of a forest owner's timber crop is now available to all for the first time. This information will be invaluable to forest owners when assessing the market or making decisions on thinning and felling sales."

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.
