LIMERICK AND TIPPERARY WOODLAND OWNERS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners Company Limited by Guarantee is an independent, member-run organisation that represents the interests of private forestry owners throughout Ireland. Established in 2010 as a regional support group for landowners in Counties Limerick and Tipperary, the body has grown to a national voice, championing issues such as ash dieback, the design of the new Forestry Programme and the fair treatment of owners who must set aside non-commercial broadleaf areas.

The company delivers a range of practical services for its members, including the Forestry Knowledge Transfer Scheme - a funded programme of seven forester-led workshops that equips owners with the skills to manage their woodlands over a full rotation. It also organises specialist field trips and seminars on agroforestry and silvopasture, collaborates with the Irish Agroforestry Forum and AFBI on research updates, and provides guidance on carbon-credit opportunities and grant support. Through active lobbying with the Oireachtas, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Forest Service, LTWO ensures that the concerns of woodland owners are heard at the highest policy levels.
