Forestry companies are selling their timberland throughout the United States and the world, in response to increasing pressure for shareholder return, competition in the global market place and consolidation in the industry. There are huge ramifications for not only the forest products industry but also forest management, biodiversity, forest integrity and forest-dependent communities.
Exploring these issues has become a regular event at the World Forestry Center in Portland, Oregon, where the “Who Will Own the Forest?” Summit series runs every other year. This year, the summit was held September 11-13, where over 300 forest industry analysts, timber investment organizations, forestry leaders, land management communities and conservation groups attended.
It's not too late to receive information from the summit: order a copy of the proceedings.
Proceedings include 17 presentations, participant list and contact information, speaker biographies, agenda, and more.
Digital Proceedings on CD in PDF format: $150
Printed Proceedings in black and white copy: $125
