Regional forest industry fundamentals are known by those in the business. The moving of softwood lumber capacity across North America from Western Canada and the Northwest to the U.S. South, changes in timberland ownership, and factors driving pulp fiber costs comprise a few. However, the big shifts, which simply reflect the regional economic realities associated with supply and demand, take time in the forest industry. In making these investments, timberland owners and manufacturing executives rely on sustainably turning wood flows into cash flows.

Forisk’s Annual “Wood Flows & Cash Flows” Conference will happen virtually on Thursday, August 25^th. In addition to providing snapshot updates on wood bioenergy, CLT, and low value fiber markets, Forisk researchers will address, in depth, investment and market analyses including:

• Prices and Projections: Forest Industry Economics and Forecasts reviews the performance of industry forecasts, summarizes financial issues/key questions related to timberland valuations and discusses the status of emerging markets for timber such as forest carbon. 
• Timberland Investments: Performance and Transaction Trends, including timberland investment deal flow and key ownership changes over the last 12 months.
• Facilitated panel of forest industry executives from three regions and three sectors to share views on the status and implications of baseline and emerging demand for wood from traditional and evolving markets.
• Forest Operations and Management: Supply Chain Costs and Catalysts reviews stress on the forest industry supply chain.
• Mill Cap Ex Trends and Ranking Wood Baskets for Investment reviews current and projected forest industry capacity by sector across North America and summarizes how to use forest supplies and capital investment trends when ranking markets for timberland and mill investments.
