any investment analysts consider reforestation to be one of the best long-term investment opportunities available to landowners. This conclusion is based on the appreciation of timber products over the past 50 years. On the basis of these and current trends, analysts believe:

• Prices paid to landowners nationally for softwood sawtimber and quality hardwood sawtimber will rise at a rate at least equal to inflation.
• Prices paid for standing timber in the Southeast may rise more rapidly than in other regions because of increased demand and competition.
