Acquisition Due Diligence

A lake in the shape of a rising graph

The Sewall Forestry & Natural Resource Consulting (SFNR) team routinely develops valuable insights with respect to the full range of timberland acquisition opportunities by applying a sophisticated understanding of forest inventory data, geospatial analysis, modeling, and valuation principles.

The scope of work encompasses examining the seller’s data room, assessing the quality and breadth of the data, and recommending a scope of services. We assist clients in preparing a responsible offer that reflects the best available information and the market value for the property. For clients focusing on impact investing and ESG’s, we address natural capital and its priced and non-priced benefits.

From project discovery to data onboarding, our understanding of client goals and timberland markets make SFNR a trusted partner throughout the timberland acquisition process.
