From the pages of our favorite book to the walls of our homes, forest products touch nearly every aspect of our lives. But they can do more than meet our everyday needs. Because we use modern, sustainable forest management practices, our forests provide additional environmental benefits: clean air, clean water, abundant wildlife habitat, and greater resilience to climate change. At TIR our management practices ensure forests provide what’s needed today while remaining a valuable natural resource for future generations. #ForestProductsWeek 

Chung-Hong Fu, PhD, TIR’s Forest Economist, and Chris Elwell, TIR’s Managing Director of Investment Analysis, will be speaking at the forthcoming World Forestry Center #CANOPY conference this September. Chris Elwell will be talking on “Emerging technologies in forest monitoring: credibility and risks for investors and managers,” and Chung-Hong Fu will be talking on “Pulp and paper mill closures in the US South: drivers, trends and impact for private timberland owners, downstream consumers, and others” We look forward to seeing you there. 

A career in forestry is one of the most meaningful and fulfilling paths you can take. According to a 2023 Washington Post analysis of Bureau of Labor statistical data, forestry and logging professionals report the highest level of happiness and the lowest levels of stress. At TIR getting out into the forests is our favorite part of the job. #WorkingInWorkingForests #CareerSatisfaction #ModernForestry

Building with wood helps keep forests on the landscape and drives investment in forest health and sustainability. Our forests are carefully managed to ensure a reliable and renewable supply of wood. As we meet society’s demand for wood, we also prioritize long-term sustainable harvest levels, prompt reforestation after harvesting, forest health and soil health, and the conservation of species habitat. Sustainable forest management is widely practiced by the U.S. forest sector. As a result, our country has enjoyed stable forest cover for much of the last century, ensuring a renewable and abundant natural resource for future generations. #AmericanForestProducts #ModernForestry #sustainableforestry

TIR’s investment strategy extends beyond traditional forestry management to leverage other sustainable investment opportunities. Establishing solar energy infrastructure and environmental mitigation banks on our clients’ lands is a key focus. In our latest Sustainability Report, we show how these initiatives not only diversify revenue streams for investors through fee generation and the sale of mitigation credits, but they also yield significant benefits for the communities hosting these projects. #solar #SustainableForestry

Sustainable forestry is vital for the economic resilience, environmental stewardship, and social well-being of our rural communities. The TIR Rural Impact Strategy leverages forest investment to create jobs, sustain local industries, and generate community revenue. By targeting economically disadvantaged rural areas, TIR connects these communities to better economic outcomes from their natural resources, breaking the cycle of poverty and fostering long-term forest health. TIR intends to make a lasting impact on rural America. Read more in our Sustainability Report. #SustainableForestry #RuralDevelopment #EconomicGrowth

The U.S. has some of the most abundant and productive forest resources in the world, due in large part to sustainable forestry practices. One vital practice is the protection of water resources.
