With over 23 years experience in business GSA has a wide understanding of the marketplace and those companies operating within it. We offer a free and independent service so that clients can identify the best type of land and forestry investment that suits their specific requirements. This places us at the forfront and gives our clients a major advantage. Through our strategic partnerships with International Forestry Plantation Companies and Land Management Companies we are able to provide clients with direct ownership of commercial forestry plots - ethical, green investment opportunities that produce higher than average returns.
Investing in forestry and agroforestry plots harnesses Socially Responsible Investment, Profit and Environmental Benefits that should all form part of the decision making process. Due to the demand for certain types of hardwood and tree species that can be used as "bio-mass" (fuel wood) these commercial forestry plantations are not only profitable for the investor - but also help to reduce CO2 and create new sources of clean energy.
.
Owners can purchase land and commercially managed (Teak, Robinia, Millettia etc) forestry plots on either a freehold or leasehols basis, providing hard asset security. As the trees grow bigger they become more valuable and when they are harvested (between 5-15 years depending upon the species), the clients take a profits from their trees or the bi-prodcts they produce.
Many of the packages have been structured so that they can be purchased through the allowable framework of a SIPP (Self Invested Pension Plan) structure - including Eco Land & Property SIPP.
Green Organic Investment Solution
Forests have a vital role to play in countering global warming because they help offset climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, one of the main greenhouse gases. Trees store CO2 in their trunks and roots for generations.Some of the plantations also produce bio-fuel crops, which provide clean alternative energy solution for a growing world market.
This is where you can help - and benefit financially.
Profit from the battle against Climate Change
By adding a commercial aspect to reforestation it is possible to harness the environment -and make money. The land will be used in an ecologically responsible way through sustainable rotation, which means planting and harvesting tree crops on the same sites.This in turn reduces pressure on further deforestation and improves biodiversity.
This is a "Retail Opportunity" and as such tree owners are not buying into a fund or any other form of collective investment scheme. Owners have full title to their Trees, Land Leases etc, and have complete control over when their trees will be harvested. The profit is based oneither full value of those trees at maturity or during their growth or from the biofuel crops they produce.
A Win Win Green Approach
Forests could offset up to 46% of human carbon emissions while simultaneously driving
economic growth. The Intergovernmental Planel on Climate Change (IPCC) points out that terminating deforestation is the least effective way to use forestry to reduce emissions. Expanding forestry, while ensuring growth through sustainable management as well as afforestation and reforestation, would offset two to three times more carbon than simply ending deforestation
"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall
never sit in." -Greek proverb
Money and profit really does grow in trees
Many products perport to be environmentally friendly but this is an opportunity for people to invest in something "real", a socially responsible project that is genuinely green, good for the planet, which returns healthy profits for the tree owners.
