1. Dividends
Over the investment term dividends are paid through commercial 'thinning'. We will extract some of the weaker trees to allow the effective development of the better quality trees. Not only does this pay dividends throughout the term, but is important to the overall performance as it can increase the final return at harvest by anywhere between 1-3%.

2. Harvest
This is where we commercially extract the trees and sell on the lumber.
