About this Event
The UK Forest Market Report (FMR) has been published since 1998 and is considered to be the most comprehensive publicly available record of forestry transactions in the UK.
Now in its 26th year, The UK Forest Market Report provides an overview of the performance of the UK commercial forestry and woodland investment market over the past 12 months.
This year's UK Forest Market Report will delve into the theme of Resilience.
Forests are vital for maintaining a healthy ecosystem for both humans and wildlife. In the UK, trees are essential for our timber supply, support biodiversity, and help mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Developing resilient tree stock is crucial for the long-term health and sustainability of our forests and environment.
By exploring how trees can adapt, withstand, and recover from challenges such as changing environmental conditions, pests, and disease issues, we can better support our forests and woodlands in adapting to climate pressures.
Xander Mahoney, Head of Forestry Investment at Tilhill Forestry will be discussing the latest updates from the forestry investment market, while Jon Lambert, Goldcrest Founding Partner will be joining our guest speakers as we delve into the importance of planting resilient forests for our future.
Our special guest speakers will be revealed shortly.
Come in person to talk forestry investment and timber whilst enjoying the refreshments and lunch provided, more details below. You can also watch the Edinburgh event via Livestream.
