Forestry

Unlocking the multiple layers of value across forests

Forestry has been at the heart of NEWFORESTS for more than 20 years and remains a core part of our approach to natural capital investing. Forests are productive real assets, but their value can extend beyond timber and fibre to encompass carbon, biodiversity and conservation and a growing range of ecosystem services.

We take a multi-layered approach to forestry investment, combining investment discipline with deep forestry expertise, active asset management and a strong focus on sustainability. Through careful stewardship, forests can grow and compound in both volume and quality over time, while creating opportunities to enhance productivity, resilience and long-term value.

We manage regional and global investment strategies, alongside bespoke separately managed accounts for institutional investors, providing access to different geographies, markets and investment opportunities.

Our approach combines the local knowledge and on-the-ground expertise of our regional teams with the perspective and capabilities of a global natural capital investment manager.

We believe forests have an increasingly important role to play in a world seeking to meet growing demand for essential products while transitioning to a lower-carbon, more resource-efficient economy.

They provide renewable materials for construction, packaging and the broader bioeconomy, while storing carbon, supporting biodiversity, protecting watersheds and sustaining resilient landscapes.

By bringing these multi-layers together, we aim to build resilient portfolios that deliver long-term value and contribute to our mission to unlock, preserve and enhance the true value of natural capital.
