We are proud to announce the acquisition of the Falkenstein Forest, a 1,000-hectare woodland complex in Brandenburg consisting of Scots pine. To date, this is our largest forestry investment outside France.
The three forest areas joining our portfolio will be managed in partnership with Dalgas (Peter Birnstein and Martin Bösselmann), a company specializing in forest management in Northern Europe, with over 150 years' experience and already managing 3,500 hectares in Brandenburg.
This operation is part of a sustainable management strategy aimed at enhancing biodiversity, improving forest resilience and contributing to the production of sustainable wood materials, in a European context of transition to a low-carbon economy.
This acquisition strengthens SAS France Valley Foncière Europe, now present in 12 European countries and representing over 16,000 hectares under management.
This is a promotional communication. Forestry investments entail risks, notably the risk of capital loss, liquidity risk, risks associated with forestry assets (biological and climatic hazards, changes in timber markets), and operational, regulatory and sustainability risks. A full description of these risks is available in the ICD and sales brochure.
