Forestry Investments -
Being
the case that "Money" doesn’t grow on trees it grows with trees
The very scale of the CFOP Landscape-UK plantings enables us to re-invest into new
projects and technologies that will enhance both lifestyles and redress key environmental
issues.

Investments are nothing new and we as commercial growers are always investing long term in
our tree crops. And in some cases a decade will have passed before the stock is ultimately
sold on, though forests are generally grown for a lifetime, the same principles in value
apply. And even if the stock market crashes nearing the time of sale, the harvest can be
delayed with the trees simply growing bigger and increasing in value. This is why today
forestry is attracting more institutions and hedge fund managers are investing in timber
more than ever before. And with a consistent return on investments now at 14pc year on
year – this will only continue.
As
nurserymen we always find year one to be a loss due to initial investment, labour and
establishment costs. But thereafter once a plant establishes and matures, its value
increases annually.
With
this in mind we recognise that the sponsored trees we plant on your behalf will yield a
good return on investment, even after taking into consideration the sustainable forestry
management costs and the land value to which they are planted on.
Today
the CFOP & Landscape-UK are promoting the values of socially responsible forestry.
Investing in the Tropics where timber grows at its fastest not by means of dividends paid
out but simply by reinvesting after year two, the increased timber asset value of the crop
annually into planting more trees on your behalf.
An
example would be if you planted a minimum of 200 trees annually in our Tropical Rainforest
Projects, minimum value £400, then from year two onwards until harvested, we will plant
an additional 20 trees. This will represent a 10% return on your initial investment, with
certificates provided for all plantings. We appear the only ones to offer this which makes
the CFOP & Landscape-UK, the global market leaders in sustainable forestry practices.
