Timber: The Climate Commodity?
The annual UK Forest Market Report (FMR) produced by Goldcrest Land & Forestry Group and Tilhill provides an in-depth study of the UK commercial forestry and woodland investment market, from the perspective of both buyers and sellers. It has been produced since 1998 and is considered to be the most comprehensive publicly available record of forestry transactions in the UK.

Introduction
This report is a market commentary based on the transactions we have observed over the past twelve months. Our combined experience and market position ensure strong insight into trends, but there are a significant number of off-market transactions not captured in our analysis. Further, there is significant variation in the specific assets from year-to-year so while the information provided captures the direction of the market, care should be taken in comparisons of year-on-year results.
Where the report refers to individual years (2022 etc.) the actual period covered is the 1st October to 30th September.
The UK Forest Market Report has been produced since 1988 and our data series now covers 24 years, incorporating 1,966 transactions which total some £1.86b and 306,000 stocked hectares (ha). As such we believe that it is the most comprehensive publicly available record of forestry transactions in the UK.
The main section of The UK Forest Market Report focuses on completed sales of commercial forestry properties which are over 20 hectares in size and predominantly planted with conifer. Other woodlands over 10 hectares in size are covered in the Mixed Woodlands section of the report.
