Roughly 9,200ha of forestry land was listed on the market over the past 12 months, with average values per stocked hectare lifting by 3% to £19,200/ha. The UK Forest Market Report 2025, published by Goldcrest Land & Forestry Group and Tilhill Forestry, found that the forestry market had started to recover after a slump in sales during the previous year.

For the last 18 months or so, my colleagues have become rather used to - perhaps even bored of - listening to me talk about the market and state that purchasers are ‘somewhat selective and cautious’. However, in recent months and specifically the last 3-4 weeks (I am writing at the end of July) there has been a definite upturn in active from interested parties.
