Greenfield Forestry Development

With a strengthening Emissions Trading Scheme in NZ providing more certainty and strengthening of returns through afforestation there is a real opportunity to look at land use conversion. With largely known development costs and growth rates for these farm locations the option to plant and repurpose some of these assets into productive carbon forests are a superb opportunity. On several parts of the properties, the current owners have undertaken initial planning work for this and it is all available through the secure data room.
