Interesting stuff - thanks for posting it.
Hadn't given forresty a thought till I spotted this thread. Living in Scotland and visiting coutryside where there is a lot of forrestry nearby every weekend I may take a closer look. (Will post findings here if I do.)
I'm assuming that what happens in Estonia also applies in Latvia when i say that forrestry covers a very high proportion of the land and that it is periodically cut down (generally to be used for building) and replaced. Its a while since I read the statistic, but think over 75% of Estonia is forrest. (Some of that 75% also being bog - if you buy in Estonia make sure you don't buy in a bog.)
Always thought that when/if I became a dad I would buy a barrell of malt whisky that I'd give to the little one on his/her 21st. Mmm, thinking of ways I might be able to invest in their future via forrestry and make the little blighter work for it.
Thank you for presenting an opportunity I hadn't considered and putting a smile on my face!
