Timber is the backbone behind more than 5,000 products we use every day, with world demand for timber products forecast to nearly double by 2050. ¹ Now you can take advantage of this growing asset class through Wells Timberland REIT, the first nontraded REIT to offer the benefits of professionally managed timberland to individual investors.

Wells Timberland REIT is focused on acquiring timberland properties primarily in the U.S. to produce attractive short- and long-term returns. Investors may be able to earn a competitive total return based on appreciation in the value of the trees and land and potential future cash distributions.

In addition, a long-term investment in Wells Timberland REIT offers the potential for portfolio diversification and a partial inflation hedge.

So if you're looking to invest in a renewable and sustainable asset that helps contribute to a healthy and balanced portfolio, consider Wells Timberland REIT for your investment portfolio.
