Agri-Pulse interviewed Lloyd Irland, a faculty associate at the University of Maine School of Forest Resources and president of the Irland Group, about a growing number of foreign investments in U.S. forestland. “The asset values are fairly low volatility compared to common stocks or bonds,” Irland said. “A lot of investors, whether they’re domestic or foreign, are very attracted to that.”
