Renowned lenders will demonstrate risk management techniques for direct timber investments. Standard & Poor’s will deliver a presentation on the power of indexed timber products in a portfolio as well as the utility of an index for benchmarking. Lanworth, experts in land use strategy, will examine options for higher-and-best-uses of land that move beyond traditional understanding of HBU as development property, rather capitalizing on alternative revenue sources such as ecosystems projects. Forest Service Chief Gail Kimbell will head a panel discussing the importance and impact of non-profit groups in the land acquisition and investment process, elaborating on the mutual benefits of partnerships with conservation organizations. Experts on the pricing and sequestration of carbon credits, biomass, and cellulosic ethanol will elaborate on developments in each of these emerging alternative revenue markets. Day 2 of the conference will feature industry veterans and market analysts delivering the latest market data from the U.S. South, Canada, Asia, Russia and South America, as well as providing macroeconomic outlooks for the entire industry as the housing market recovers.

In addition to the main conference, the 5th Timberland Investment Summit will feature 5 premier workshops led by industry experts. U.S. Trust- Bank of America Private Wealth Management will lead an interactive seminar for investors new to the space.
