The Forest-Investment Dictionary (Playbook Part 2) and Toolkit
For the forester across the table from an investor. And the investor who can't price the forest. Now you both speak the same language.
Foresters and investors look at the same forest. They see two different things.
One counts cubic metres. The other counts cash flows. Neither fully speaks the other's language.
This is the book that translates both ways. Until now, it didn't exist.
WHAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO
A forester will read an investment pitch and spot the red flags. Ask the three questions that expose a weak deal. Understand what a discount rate is — and why it IS the valuation.
An investor will read a forest. Growing stock, increment, rotation, risk. Price that risk the way the market prices it. Walk into a meeting and earn the forester's respect.
Both sides stop talking past each other. The deal gets done.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Billions of euros are moving into European forests. Pension funds. Insurers. Family offices. They need forests. Forests need good capital.
But the deal breaks at the table. The forester can't speak finance. The investor can't read a forest. Value gets lost in translation.
This book closes that gap.
