The minute
- EFM Investments & Advisory acquired 11,735 hectares (about 29,000 acres) of coastal rainforest in northern Oregon in a deal worth more than $100 million
- The acquisition puts carbon storage alongside timber production as a core value driver for the forest
- The deal reflects growing corporate demand for nature-based carbon credits feeding into forest investment strategies
Why it matters
Forest investors are increasingly pricing carbon storage into land deals, not just timber yield, which changes how much capital nature-based credit projects can attract and how land gets valued.
The Oregon deal illustrates a broader shift: timberland funds are structuring acquisitions around dual revenue, wood products and carbon credits, rather than treating carbon as a side benefit. via Carbon Credits
