THE WOOD MARKETING FEDERATION

The Wood Marketing Federation is Ireland's leading advocate for wood and forestry, championing the material's natural, renewable and ecological strengths across the built environment and beyond. By highlighting wood's role in carbon sequestration, climate-neutral construction and renewable energy, the federation helps the sector meet the ambitions of Ireland's Climate Action Plan and supports the growth of sustainable employment in rural communities.

Through a year-round programme of events, conferences and the prestigious Wood Awards Ireland, the federation showcases innovative projects from architects, designers, engineers, woodworkers and researchers, while also running dedicated Student Wood Awards to inspire the next generation. Its suite of useful links, publications and industry briefings provides members and the wider public with up-to-date information on forest management, biodiversity, and the economic benefits of afforestation. By bringing together industry bodies, government agencies and academia, The Wood Marketing Federation drives the adoption of modern timber construction methods and reinforces wood's position as a strong, functional and durable alternative to fossil-based materials.
