A wise forest owner will see the coming crash as an opportunity.  With stumpage prices rising many times the rate of inflation, and timber investments bringing double digit returns, future oriented owners will grow their good trees to large size and high value.  The only mature tree today is a dead tree, a dying tree, or a defective tree that is hindering the growth of a better crop tree. 
Any healthy, growing tree is a good investment these days.  A managed crop tree can be a fantastic investment.

Those who choose to grow good timber for the future will soon be in even higher demand.  With most people cutting trees like there is no tomorrow, a good steward will be producing their best timber long after the big boat has hit the rocks.  The responsible forest manager will be seen as a rescuer selling life jackets below the falls.  Who knows what they will be worth once there aren't enough to go around.  At Timbergreen, we will soon have some of the best life jackets available.  I can't wait to see who will be in line to buy one.....                                  home
