Commercial Forestry
Forestry can generate earnings through timber growth, increases in the value of the underlying land and the infrastructure value of the plantations.
Why Commercial Forestry is an attractive trading opportunity
Physical asset with inherent organic growth
Rising demand for timber, combined with larger harvest yields over time, can help drive capital appreciation
Commercial forests and woodlands are an important long-term asset class, also providing diversification to shareholders in the UK
Background to Commercial Forestry
UK commercial forestry plantations are an important source of sustainable softwood timber that is used in a range of industrial activities, including house building, construction and paper production.
With freehold land values and future demand for timber underpinning steady earnings from timber growth and subsequent harvesting, commercial forestry plantations can provide a long-term earnings profile, with acquirers willing to pay a locational premium for well-sited properties.
