How the 12 Year Melina Forestry investment works.
Our Melina tree investments start at £18,000. The following figures are based on an investment of £18,000, for which you purchase 600 trees. Over the 12 year cycle of the investment, these trees grow taller and thicker, gaining value year-on-year.
The trees need regular thinning harvests to encourage the stronger, more valuable trees to flourish - a natural selection process. The thinning harvests - in years 4, 8, 10 and 12 - produce valuable timber, which is sold to global timber markets on your behalf and the proceeds sent to you. From seed to saleable timber, Ethical Forestry manage the whole process for you.
