Insight Green Investments: Do you want to make returns with forest plants?

A sunny morning at Löwenstein Castle in Kleinheubach, a village in the idyllic Main Valley south of Aschaffenburg: three forest owners with areas between five and almost 7,000 hectares have gathered to talk about the pleasure and burden of forest investments. A topic that is increasingly of concern to small investors as well.

After all, forests seem ideally to symbolize the desire for sustainable returns. But is the forest really a good investment? Or does the longing for a stroll in your own beech grove possibly obscure the view of the numbers? A conversation with the forest owners Princess Stephanie zu Löwenstein, Ralph Günther and Christian Lürssen about the forest as a source of returns, CO2 storage and German myth.
