Adding value through forest management

'The forest is the engine room of the investment where skilled professional management is vital to maximising investors' returns. Conceptually, growing a forest is a simple undertaking, purchase a block of land, plant the trees and some years later harvest them. The reality in modern plantation forestry management is quite different. At the end of the day it is the quality of the forest management that determines the amount of money in investors' pockets.'

Adding value through economies of scale

The size of Forest Enterprises' operation results in significant economies of scale which we pass on to our investors.

These begin with buying the land. As a major land purchaser we are an attractive buyer which means we can negotiate favourable terms.

As a volume purchaser of trees, chemicals and contracting services we can achieve significant savings. As a major employer, able to offer continuity of work all year round, we attract experienced reputable contractors.

Our size also means we can afford professional levels of supervision, support equipment and personnel, both in the field and the office.

Adding value through using modern technology

At Forest Enterprises we are firm believers in using technology to the best advantage so that we can provide efficiencies in our business and, more importantly, cost benefits to our investors.
