As practitioners of forest science, Forest Capital Partners' top forest management priority is technology transfer - the operational application of evolving science that advances tree growth and timber quality. Through decades of research, universities and industry cooperatives continue to make exciting discoveries in tree nutrition, genetics and forest growth. To translate these advancements into financial performance, Forest Capital Partners applies methods that increase our knowledge of the lands we manage, enabling us to pinpoint the factors that limit tree growth, and execute solutions that maximize returns.

Using an intense "stand-level" approach that dissects vast holdings into micro-units of 10 to 200 acres, our foresters create an individualized long-term management plan that is unique to the soil, climate, and vegetative aspects of each micro-unit.

For each of these stands, computer simulations analyze field decisions - such as species mix, harvest age, thinning regimes, fertilization, and planting densities - to support our foresters in choosing the optimal management strategy.
