TIMOS and REITS

We help TIMO and REIT shareholders and managers get the most from their managed forestland assets. Working with all levels of an organization’s management team, Finite’s combined forest management experience and carbon finance expertise enables TIMOs and REITs to make fully informed decisions on when and where to integrate carbon into forestland investments. We can evaluate individual parcels, funds, and entire portfolios to design a project that enhances cash flow and increases overall investment return. Further, our experience implementing forest certification standards and working forest easements enables us to fully navigate the complex investment and conservation strategies associated with this special class of forest owners.
