Who Will Own the Forest 4 - What Next? A World Forest Institute Conference September 8, 2008

Early registration ends August 8!
On-line registration http://wfi.worldforestrycenter.org/wwotf4/
After more than a decade of forestland sales from vertically integrated forestry firms to TIMOs and REITs, the separation of forest assets from mills is nearly complete in the U.S. So, what's next for the ever-evolving state of forestland investing?
Are forestland returns sustainable or is there a bubble? What regulatory challenges loom for this growing investment sector? Which regions of the world offer opportunities and risk? What other "new" timberland values have emerged? What are investors demanding in terms of socially conscious investing? Have conservation values been achieved? Please join us for our fourth installment of our continuing discussion on the drivers, trends, and impacts of forestland investing and shifting forest ownership.
There are other events, but only one "Who Will Own the Forest" Summit.
