Western Forestry Co-op Office moved to Aurivo Mart Ballinrobe

Newoffice

Western Forestry Co-op (est 1985 by the main dairy co-ops in the West of Ireland to provide a back up service to farmers going in to forestry) have moved the Mayo office from Kiltimagh to the Aurivo Mart in Ballinrobe.

After 18yrs in Kiltimagh (formerly managed by Patricia Dillion and Tom Staunton who retired in 2013) it was a big decision to move but so far a good decision and for farmers already going to the mart on a Wednesday it is great for them to be able to call in to discuss any forestry matters.
