Commercial forestry values have escalated by at least 15% in the past year, according to an industry report launched in Edinburgh today (Nov23). Increasing demand for timber assets driven by net zero ambitions contributed to rising prices in a market characterised by fewer, smaller, but higher value sales in 2022 as Scotland “spearheaded the charge for economic forestry” with an 84% share of UK commercial forestry sales.

The annual UK Forest Market Report (FMR) produced in partnership with 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. Please join us for the event held on the 22nd and 23rd of November 2022.
