I have to admit that I have had a bit too much on my plate at the moment to investigate the possibilities as it's an area that I have no understanding of at all, so it would be a steep learning curve for me.
I did, however, speak to some people I know in Latvia. As I mentioned, the prices for wooded land here were more expensive than I thought they would be, so I forgot about the idea.
Latvia is a pretty small country and timber is one of the major businesses here, so maybe it shouldn't have come as a total surprise that all of the low-hanging fruit has been grabbed already.
I think that there might be some potential though in other places which are more remote and heavily forested (Slovakia? Romania? Eastern Poland?)
Maybe someone on the ground in these territories has more information on the potential here?
