or centuries, timberland has been
recognized as a proven performer,
an investment that has not only
girded portfolios but has also formed
the basis for multi-generational estates.
Numerous Land Report 100ers own
timberland, including Maine's Pingree
family, whose holdings date back to the
early 1800s. One key attribute is that
timberland weathers market turmoil
far better than financial instruments.
A recent NASDAQ study noted that
"Timberland returns show significant
positive correlation with inflation,
while stocks and bonds do not." Yet
in the right hands, timberland can do
much more than better the market.
It can better the land.
