Irish Forestry Unit Trust Forestry Management Ltd

Irish Forestry Unit Trust Forestry Management Limited (IForUT) is Ireland’s largest privately‑owned forest proprietor and the principal supplier of roundwood to the domestic timber‑processing sector. Founded in 1994, the trust channels investment from Irish pension funds and charitable organisations into a sustainable forestry portfolio that now spans more than 20,000 hectares of commercial plantations across the country.

The core service of IForUT is the long‑term, environmentally responsible management of these woodlands, delivering attractive real returns for its unit holders while supporting the supply chain for sawmills, pulp producers and other timber users. The trust’s specialised expertise covers the full lifecycle of forest assets – from planting and silviculture to harvesting and certification – and it holds a suite of recognised standards, including PEFC and FSC forest management and chain‑of‑custody credentials.

Key projects such as Knockshanvo Wood, Mosstown Wood, Clonad Wood and Slievealoughaun Wood illustrate IForUT’s commitment to high‑quality, sustainably sourced timber and to the stewardship of Ireland’s natural heritage. The organisation serves pension fund managers, charitable investors and the broader Irish timber industry, offering a transparent, long‑term investment vehicle rooted in Irish forestry.
