The Macquarie Forestry Investment 2007 provides you with the opportunity to invest in Australian plantation forestry.  Your forestry business will grow plantation trees in Victoria with expert support at all stages of the process.  Once fully grown, the trees will be harvested and the woodchips sold.

Uniquely, the Macquarie Forestry Investment 2007 also offers you the opportunity to invest in the land on which the trees are grown.  By investing in the land as well as the trees you have the potential to benefit from any proceeds from the sale of the land at the end of the investment term in addition to any cash returns from the sale of the woodchips.
