M itigation banks are definitely not do-it-yourself projects. Fee-based consultants can assist landowners. But American Timberlands prefers working with landowners as partners. A vested inter- est means all parties are in it for the long haul. "We do this because we love it. We are determined to be the best land stewards in the country," Rowland says. "But we also do it to generate returns. As a partner, we're driven by a different set of goals than a consultant might be. They are driven by fees, and we are driven by the returns generated from the success of the bank and the associ- ated land investment." American Timberlands has found a sweet spot in the land investment business, one timberland owners and investors appreciate on many levels. "Our mantra is doing well by doing good," says American Timberlands Director of Capital Markets Harris Chewn- ing. "We are doing really good things for the environment and simultaneously generating significant returns by doing so."
