The UK Forest Market Report, produced annually, provides an in-depth study of the UK commercial forestry and woodland investment market, from the perspective of both buyers and sellers. It has been produced since the late 1990s and is considered to be the most comprehensive publicly available record of forestry transactions in the UK.Â
Produced in partnership with Goldcrest Land and Forestry Group launching each year in London and Edinburgh.
The UK Forest Market Report launch events for 2024 will take place on 19th November in Edinburgh and 20th November in London.

Join us at the launch events in Edinburgh and London for The UK Forest Market Report as we explore our theme for 2024: Resilience.
This report is a market commentary based on the deals and listings we have observed over the past twelve months. Our combined experience and market position ensure strong insight into trends, but there are a significant number of off-market transactions not captured in our analysis.
Further, there is significant variation in the specific assets from year-to-year so while the information provided captures the direction of the market, care should be taken in comparisons of year-on-year results. Where the report refers to individual years (2023 etc.) the actual period covered is the 1st September to 31st August.Â
In 2023 we discussed feeding the UK’s need for construction timber, landscaping products and much more and how trees will help the UK to decarbonise.
But the challenge we face is the recognition of commercial forests, in both the planning, planting, and harvesting, in order to supply a home-grown timber crop and reduce our reliance on imports.
