The Woodland League The Woodland League is a not-for-profit independent community-based organisation , non-denominational, non-political advocates of Agenda 21 and an all-Ireland body. Our aim is to restore the relationship between people and their woodlands. One of the founders, Ted Cooke, started the first environmental group in Ireland in 1984 – the Macroom Environmental Group – which is still going strong. We came together through the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification initiative whereby Coillte were seeking an ‘eco-label’ verification to satisfy the Irish state’s commitments to Sustainable Forest Management under the Helsinki and Lisbon agreements. FSC is an Agenda 21-based process and with this understanding, we engaged in this consultation process, along with many other communities and NGOs.
