timberland real estate investment trusts (REITs)

Timberland REITs are investment companies that own, manage, and profit from forested land used for timber production. Investors buy shares, gaining indirect exposure to the timber industry’s growth and demand for wood products. These REITs generate income through selling harvested timber and leasing land, and they benefit from the land’s appreciation over time. Timberland REITs offer diversification, potential income, and inflation hedging, making them an alternative asset class for investors seeking exposure to natural resources and real estate markets.
