Recreation Policy

Coillte recognises that forests provide an excellent landscape for a wide range of recreational activities and the company, as the country's largest land owner, has a special place in the provision of access to recreation. As such Coillte seeks to provide low-impact non-motorised recreation to the general public and other specialist activities under special permit.

The company will continue to provide recreation that is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable

Coillte welcomes all visitors to the forest and expects them to respect the environmental code for users

While recognising its role in the rural community, Coillte does not have a primary or lead role in the provision of tourism facilities in its forests, but will facilitate such developments within partnership arrangements.
