Abstract: Timberland investment opportunities in New Zealand offer a uniquely attractive combination of well-established, high-yield plantations, mature forest management techniques, well-trained forestry professionals, sophisticated decision support systems and valuation methods, an adequate to well-developed infrastructure, and a conducive business climate. The increasing number of large timberland properties being transacted at attractive risk-adjusted investment returns further enhances the interest in timberland investment management in New Zealand.
