Our independence from timber processing interests means we can act in the best interest of our customers to secure the best price for our clients’ timber.
Originally established as a forestry management company in the 1950s, fountains has an enviable wealth of experience. From commercial softwood plantations in the North of Scotland to ancient woodland in the South West, we care for a comprehensive range of woodland properties for private investors and commercial institutions, amounting to over 120,000 acres.
Internationally, fountains manages over 750,000 acres of timberland in the eastern seaboard of the USA. We offer internationally recognised management standards (such as those of the Forestry Stewardship Council). fountains has associated managers and consultants with in-depth knowledge of forestry markets in South America and Eastern Europe. The company can also call on associates with expertise in Scandinavia and New Zealand.
Many of our forestry staff have worked for fountains for more than 20 years enabling us to build trust and maintain a high, consistent level of service for our customers. Services are offered at a local or national level through regional managers and offices.
