Forestry projects can be an impactful part of a climate-positive investment portfolio, yet #forestry is a unique asset class – the scale and time scales of projects, the diversity of forestry project types, and the dependence on a rapidly evolving landscape of certifications and regulations all mean that forestry investments set a specific challenge for investors wanting to enter the space. For forestry investments, the commercial and #ESG aspects of a project are fundamentally intertwined. FMO’s Mobilising Finance for Forests (MFF) programme has released the “ESG Guide for Forestry Investments” to help investors to better understand this climate-critical sector in #emergingmarkets and mainstream ESG into  forestry investment life cycles and meet organizations' impact goals.  Read our guide here: #sustainableforestry | #naturalclimatesolutions | #NatureBasedSolutions |

This is another step in shining some light on how to invest in Forestry, in the right way. Investments in Forestry can have a large positive impact. On environment, on local communities and on biodiversity. However, not taking into account the necessary ESG considerations, investments could also have a negative impact. So investors need to be extra diligent. This guide can help by, for example, showing which aspects are critical and what questions need to be answered.

Investing in economically marginal livestock farms and converting them into managed forestry by planting new trees offers not only an opportunity to deliver a broad range of natural capital services such as sustainable timber supply, carbon sequestration and jobs for society and rural communities, but can also provide financial gains for investors through capital uplift.   In a recent interview with Citywire, Equilibrium Asset Management’s Neal Foundly told John Schaffer that he favours the UK forestry asset class due to its lack of correlation with equities and bonds, and because it “taps into a different source of alpha.”   “The timber itself is an attractive investment. It takes 30-40 years to get there, but there are different vintages, so it can be harvested every year.”  At Foresight Sustainable Forestry, our portfolios are underpinned by a portfolio of freehold land and stocks of growing timber offering a hedge against inflation. Our afforestation portfolios will see us plant 9 million trees by spring 2025 and create 1-1.2 million carbon credits since our inception.   Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/esmesxFG   The views and opinions expressed are those of the publisher and may not necessarily represent the views and opinions of Foresight Sustainable Forestry Company PLC.   #UKForestry #Afforestation #Inflation #CarbonCredits #SustainableInvesting 

The cost of not adapting 🫣 – outdated tools in forestry! In the past five years, I’ve seen a recurring theme in forestry: sticking with outdated tools might feel comfortable, but it can come at a much bigger cost than many realise. 🤥 We often think of outdated systems or homemade spreadsheets as being ‘good enough,’ but the reality is that they slow down processes, create inefficiencies, and can lead to missed opportunities. And these hidden costs can stack up - whether it’s in lost time, delayed decision-making, or even missed revenue. 💸 In a fast-evolving industry like forestry, staying adaptable is key. Platforms like Forsler help you do that by streamlining processes, reducing errors, and enabling you to make faster, smarter decisions. It’s not just about efficiency - it’s about staying competitive in an increasingly dynamic world. 📊 Question for you: What’s one hidden cost you’ve encountered from relying on outdated tools or systems in your forest operations?

Unlike traditional land clearing methods, which often involve the removal of trees and other vegetation from the site, forestry mulching utilizes a specialized mulching machine that grinds up the vegetation and leaves the mulch on site. This helps to reduce waste and minimize the impact on the surrounding ecosystem. Forestry mulching is also a cost-effective solution for landowners. Traditional land clearing methods can be expensive, time-consuming, and often require multiple trips to remove the debris. With forestry mulching, the entire process can be completed in a fraction of the time, which can significantly reduce the overall cost. Finally, forestry mulching is a versatile method that can be used for a variety of applications, including land clearing, trail building, invasive species removal, and more. By investing in a forestry mulcher, landowners can benefit from a powerful tool that can be used to tackle a wide range of projects and help to promote the health and vitality of their land. ⏩Check out our mulcher inventory at www.edgeequipment.com or talk to one of our specialists at 780-455-3343 today! - - - #heavyequipment   #excavator   #heavymachine   #landclearing   #plow   #plowlife   #propertymaintenance   #marketing   #moneysaving   #seo   #heavymachinery   #heavyequipmentnation   #bigmachines   #builtforlife   #vegetationmanagement   #treeremoval #facts   #iykyk   #knowledge   #growth   #didyouknow   #facts   #factoftheday   #coolfacts   #ifyouknowyouknow   #funfacts   #sciencefacts   #forestryequipment   #forestrylife   #forestmachinesinaction

As a recruiter in the forestry industry, I often come across the misconception that the forestry industry is solely focused on cutting down trees and harming the environment. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. The forestry industry plays a crucial role in sustainable forest management, conservation, and biodiversity. Forestry professionals work tirelessly to ensure that forests are managed responsibly, promoting the health and longevity of our natural resources. From planting and nurturing new trees to implementing sustainable harvesting practices, the forestry industry is dedicated to preserving our environment for future generations. It's important to recognise the positive impact that the forestry industry has on our environment and economy. By debunking the misconception that forestry is solely about deforestation, we can highlight the industry's commitment to sustainability and conservation. As a recruiter, I am proud to work with passionate individuals who are dedicated to preserving our forests and natural resources. Let's continue to support and promote the important work being done in the forestry industry. #Forestry #Sustainability #Conservation
