Forest Friends Ireland operate on the basis of volunteers with a high commitment to environmental conservation. We have a commitment to the development of sustainable forest management practices in Ireland and for the protection of forests and forest ecosystems in various parts of the world. Our work depends on the resources available at any particular time.
