India eyes tree planting record

In 2006, nearly a million trees were planted in a three-day event
The Indian state of Uttar Pradesh is attempting to set a world record by planting 10 million trees in a single day on Tuesday.
Officials say the plantings are designed to raise awareness of the need to protect the environment.

In all, 10,266,736 saplings will be planted at 9,320 sites across Uttar Pradesh's 70 districts.

The record stands at 852,587 trees, planted in 6,284 locations in Tamil Nadu state over three days in 2006.

Farmers' help

Forestry officials told the BBC's Ram Dutt Tripathi, in Lucknow, that the location of the sites would be recorded using GPS technology so the record can be independently verified.

Many people have been contacting forest officials wanting to plant trees. Nearly half the trees will be planted by local farmers, officials said.

The Guinness Book of Records told the BBC they had been notified of the world record attempt and were waiting for confirmation.

"The forest department need to put together all their information," a spokeswoman said. "Once they send us their verification pack we can go through all the evidence and decide whether to accept the record."

based on timescale of previous deals, there could be another aquisition in the offing around 8 august. share price often moves up at this time. but not by very much.

Cambium Global Timberland Ltd said it has
acquired 21,853 acres of income producing timberland in East Texas for about 13
mln stg.
The company said the property, which is a professionally managed diverse
pine plantation that has a well-structured array of age classes, will fill about
half of its target allocation for the North American region.
The existing supply agreements with three distinct local mills will provide
pricing and return stability, and assure the long-term viability of the asset,
Cambium added.

re; tree.l
ive a small amount of these[1k] and have posted on iii site.
not much info around. recent purchase of east texas forestry seems good value.
timber prices are moving higher all the time according to a fencing supplier i use in my business.
its worth looking into the carbon trading possibilities of this company, [try wikipedia] although i am not sure the kind of planting and management that this firm is involved with, satisfies the need for additionality. good luck.

stg.
The 9.9 mln stg sale price is a 67 pct premium to the net book value of
Highland's forest assets as on Dec 31, 2006, the release said.

For what it's worth there doesn't appear to be a great deal of growth built in to the share price at the minute considering they valued at not much more than their NAV, therefore i would hope that there should be some growth in stall.

I am looking to buy some at the moment, but i hate AIM stocks. Currently looking for direct exposure in timber and these appear to be the best at the minute, unless someone else has any timber tips??

Just brought some of these today - share price doesn't seem to move despite so many buys - what are people thoughts to where this is going?

[cambium] 08/5/2007 09:49

The Directors of the Company wish to announce that the NAV as at 30 April 2007
was 97.31 pence per share.

Cambium Global Timberland Limited will seek to invest primarily in forestry assets or operations which are or can be managed on an environmentally and socially sustainable basis. The Company will seek out opportunities to gain value from certification of its forest management systems, from the commercial development of environmental products and services, and from the reduction of risk by community engagement and workforce development. Investments may be managed for timber production, environmental credit production or both. The Company will not invest in processing facilities. The Company will be a long-term investor in the countries and regions in which it invests and will therefore strive to ensure good community relations. The Company aims to establish effective policies and procedures to ensure all its investments make a positive contribution to the regions in which they are operating. The Company will seek out opportunities for enhanced environmental performance and will actively seek commercial opportunities in emerging environmental markets. The Manager believes such developments can play a role in enhanced conservation efforts for forests in a regional context and can provide new and diversified sources of revenue to investments. Returns from timberland are influenced by three factors: (i) biological tree growth; (ii) timber price changes; and (iii) changes in the value of the underlying land asset. The Company aims to establish a portfolio comprising geographically diverse assets located both in mature markets and in developing markets where potentially higher returns may be generated but with commensurately higher risk. The Company will initially target investments in North and South America and the Asia-Pacific region (including Australia and New Zealand), but may invest in other regions on an opportunistic basis, as determined by the Manager with the approval of the Board. The Company's strategy is to achieve a balance between generating income and producing superior total returns to investors by establishing an optimised portfolio of timberland properties and timberland related investments diversified by location, age class and species. Different age classes of tree will provide harvestable timber over time and diversification by region and species will provide exposure to different growth rates and different market segments. The Manager believes that this approach will maximise returns and help to control volatility and risk exposure.
