Resource Management

Tree farm analysis & acquisition

We identify tree farm acquisitions, perform financial analysis and due diligence, determine purchase price, work with investors through final asset acquisition and negotiate management agreements.

Land acquisitions for new tree farms

Soil type, surrounding resources, water availability, transportation factors, location to desired markets and purchase and/or lease prices are all factors we consider in securing the right land for new farm developments.

Laying the groundwork

Creating the best conditions for trees to develop includes plowing and bed preparation, weed control, ripping, stock management, selection of optimal spacing, identification of desired clonal varieties, staking of row and tree locations and planting trees.

Breeding shows

Our hybrids are disease- and pest-resistant, and are refined for their growth rate, stem form and wood quality — keys to the success and high returns of our managed tree farms.

Farm maintenance & management

Weed and pest control, cultivation and pruning help optimize growing conditions for our trees and result in high-value wood products.

Ongoing business management

Business management services include geographic information system (GIS) management, financial management and accounting, growth measurements and yield projections, tax reporting information and end-market opportunities.

Harvesting and transportation

Our relationships with reliable, low-cost carriers help minimize transportation expenses.

Merchandising

We continually evaluate our relationships with domestic and international buyers to make sure products reach the markets that offer the highest returns.

Investment disposition planning

By monitoring and reporting growth, financial and market information, we can provide high-return exit strategy alternatives.
