About Us
The New Forests Company
The New Forests Company is a sustainable forestry business driven by commercial timber economics. It has an established, rapidly growing plantation with the prospect of a sawmill and energy-forestry operations, which will deliver both attractive returns to investors and significant social and environmental benefits.
NFC provides long-term foreign private sector investment in carbon sink forestry on unutilized and/or degraded land in the developing world in the context of the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol on the reduction of global warming.
Our business mixes commercial plantation forestry with protection and regeneration of indigenous tree species and the promotion of bio-diversity and environmentally sustainable land-use management. Whilst based on commercial forestry economics, our projects are underwritten by carbon credits which require sound environmental land-use management in compliance with the Clean Development Mechanism.
The company has already established itself as the biggest tree planter and the dominant player in Uganda, a country facing acute and mounting timber shortages, and is set to begin operations in other countries.
