Welcome

Wood is the most versatile, renewable and sustainable resource on the planet. Timber is the oldest construction material, first used in the primeval forest as rough shelters and today it is used in a wide range of traditional and innovative applications from sawn to round timber and from recycled to inventive engineered timber.

Wood used for structural and non-structural applications has a significantly lower carbon footprint than synthetic materials that use fossil fuels during processing and manufacture.

Wood plays a major role in climate change mitigation. It sequesters carbon during its growing cycle and when it leaves the forest it acts as a carbon store in construction, furniture, fencing, leisure, energy and other products. 

The Wood Marketing Federation is playing a major role in promoting wood and wood products in Ireland and as a result, wood is enjoying a revival.

WMF was established in 1989 to increase the knowledge and understanding of wood. Our  mission is ‘To promote wood as a renewable, sustainable and versatile natural material’.

Please browse our site and download the various educational publications and promotional literature which demonstrate the role that wood is playing in sustainable living.
