Delivering a community-based renewable energy heating solution

Donegal Woodland Owners Society Limited has been established to maximise the value of this resource for woodland owners by creating added value through sustainable local employment.

At present, annually, over 200,000 tons (over 90%) of timber leaves Donegal unprocessed with little or no added value, as it leaves the forest gate and County Donegal in raw saw log form. Today, with the increasing volumes of timber now coming onto the market from the newly established forests in the private sector, Donegal Woodland Owners Society Limited (DWOSL) is determined to build up new and existing forestry enterprises and a forestry culture within Donegal.
