Goldcrest & Tilhill | The UK Forest Market Report 2024

Forestry worth almost £100m was listed for sale last year in a market characterised by tight supply and buyer caution, according to a new industry report. The UK forestry industry has proved resilient in 2024, despite facing economic challenges. According to The UK Forest Market Report 2024, produced by BSW Group’s Tilhill Forestry, and Goldcrest Land & Forestry Group, the market remains strong, driven by demand for high-quality assets, stable timber prices, wider natural capital projects and a positive medium-term outlook for wood being used as a substitute for high carbon materials.
