Scottish commercial forestry is more sought-after than ever in 2021. Since November, prices have escalated from a steady £70/T for standing crop to well over £100/T – and as much as £135/T in one recent case in Southern Scotland.
SCOTTISH forestry estates have been put up for sale with a total price tag of more than £30 million as the drive to cut carbon dioxide emissions stokes interest in the sector. Goldcrest Land & Forestry is seeking offers over £34m in total for seven estates in areas stretching from the Scottish Borders to Angus.
