The International Timberland Ownership & Investment Review 2011, 6th Edition
DANA Limited, Oct 2011, Pages: 370+
This 370+ page review is the sixth edition of the DANA Timberland (T/L) Review series. It is a major expansion and update on the 2010 edition. It highlights recent changes in T/L ownership in North America and an increasing number of international players with their resources, recent transactions with buyers, sellers and (mostly) prices, and other material, to provide a comprehensive analysis of this important and rapidly growing investment sector.
The 2011 review is an essential information resource for investors, banks and other financial institutions, timberland (forest-land) owners, managers, advisors and consultants, universities, researchers and government departments involved with timberland investment, ownership and management.
Key topics covered:
- Introduction: Statistics. Numerous tables and charts illustrate the T/L industry performance and trends. The reasons why so many new investors have been enamored by T/L investment in the last decade. Is T/L a good bet in recessionary times? Table of > 190 transactions 2010-2011 and pending.

More than 1,250 timberland owners, fund managers and funds* are profiled: 70% more than the number profiled in the 2010 Review, and 240% more than in the 2009 Edition
This review would now be (by far) the most complete analysis of the international timberland ownership and investment industry that is publicly available.
