Our Investment Approach

Our process

1 Strategic Asset Sourcing
2 In-Depth Analysis and Independent Evaluation
3 Acquisitions Across France and Europe
4 Proactive, Long-Term Management

France Valley meticulously researches, analyzes, and negotiates forest acquisitions based on comprehensive site evaluations (including soil quality, rainfall, historical temperatures, access, slopes, and exposure) and stand assessments (covering species, density, quality, health, and market potential). Leveraging a network of around 90 partners across Europe, we actively source and secure a steady flow of high-quality opportunities. On top of our extensive Due Diligence process, each asset undergoes independent counter-assessment by an independent forestry expert. Our capabilities allow us to secure a substantial volume of transactions across France and Europe. For each property in portfolio, we develop a long-term management plan optimizing performance and sustainability.
