What is Forest Finance?

Forest finance is the language and analysis of managing forest resources as investments. In forestry, financial analysis supports investment decisions such as the optimal rotation, silvicultural strategies, and the buying and selling of timberlands.

Forisk's Applied Forest Finance Class class details the step-by-step financial analysis required to answer key investment and forest management questions.

Attendees will receive a digital copy of the NEW 7th edition of Forest Finance Simplified and the Aunt Fanny Learns Forestry book, as well as electronic course materials. Attendees will also receive Excel models for reinforcing and applying the concepts learned during the course.
