The Offer
The success of diversification is well documented.
This opportunity offers just that – diversification
of species, markets, location of plantations and
managers.
The 2007 Premium Forestry Blend is an opportunity to
become involved as Growers in two Projects which
uniquely combine three timber species and which are
to deliver three distinct sources of potential
income to Growers commencing as early as year 2/3.
The timber species involved are as follows:
Pine – for softwood sawlogs and pulplogs.
The primary use of softwood sawlogs sold in
Australia is the production of structural sawntimber
used in house construction and this market is
dominated by softwood.
Income anticipated in years 13, 18 and 25.
She-Oak – a fast growing biomass species
that can be converted into charcoal, high density
pellets or renewable energy. It is anticipated that
the She-Oak will be harvested at two to three
year intervals (it regenerates after harvest) and
provides regular income until at least year 9.
Silky Oak – a high valued sawn hardwood
timber resource harvested at years 10 and 15
suitable for furniture and decorative veneers.
Under the 2007 Premium Forestry Blend you would
become a Grower in the Willmott Forests Project (ARSN
089 379 975) and a Grower in the BioForest
Sustainable Timber and Biofuel Project 2007 (ARSN
124 133 535).
Returns
It is envisaged that you will
receive proceeds from the sale of
your timber when the trees are
harvested in or about years 2/3, 5,
7 and 9 (from the She-Oak),
years 10 and 15 (from the Silky
Oak) and years 13, 18 and 25
(from Pine).
Both Projects will be subject to the
normal risks associated with
commercial plantation forestry and
the Managers do not guarantee any
particular return to Growers.
