The overriding objectives of ProSilva Ireland are laid down in the constitution and are as follows:

3. To support research into the dynamics of forest ecosystems, particularly those processes critically associated with silvicultural systems conforming to ProSilva Principles in Ireland. 
4. To support the adaptation and development of silvicultural systems conforming to ProSilva Principles for use in Ireland.
