UK and Ireland offer attractive forest investment opportunities, supported by rapid forest growth, dynamic property markets and solid wood processing industry. After being largely deforested by the late 19th century, afforestation efforts have increased forest cover significantly, with further expansion on the way. Sitka spruce is the main commercial species in the region, though forest owners are increasingly planting broadleaf species to complement conifer afforestation and enhance biodiversity.

CapMan Natural Capital has been investing in Ireland since 2015 and working together with local investors and operational partners. All forests under CapMan’s management are certified, ensuring sustainable and responsible forestry practices.
