Mr. Gerard Murphy:

Forestry is a long-term venture and enterprise. There is no doubt about that. Land prices spike at different periods. At any given moment in time, if one looks at land prices against the value of forestry, there will be times when one would think the land would be better on its own. One has to look at it in the long term as diversified land use which gives a lot of other benefits, not only to the owner of the land but in terms of carbon sequestration mitigation measures.
