As was mentioned in one of our last blog posts titled “Stock Market Make You Worried? Take a Walk in Your Woods,” it’s become more difficult to predict why these markets move the way they do.

So what is it that entices investors enough to spend over $45 billion to invest in timberland - what makes it such an attractive investment?
