About this listen

With forests taking an average fifty years to grow the ongoing impacts of climate change are making forests significantly more vulnerable to biotic and abiotic pressures. The increasing potential for damage from fire, wind, pests, or disease is inescapable. At the mercy of such stressors, why then would anyone invest in forestry and why has it been such a lucrative asset class over the past three decades?


To explore this question we spoke with David Edwards from Tilhill Forestry whose portfolio extends to 200,000 hectares of forest managed on behalf of investors and private clients. Though David acknowledges they deal mainly in the UK in upland spruce plantations he was keen to highlight that institutional and private investors in forests are primarily interested in their return on investment (ROI). In the UK this translates as spruce plantations that grow fast with relatively simple silviculture.
