Par Equity Sustainability Actions

UK forestry investments since 2012

We have been committed to UK-based forestry investments as a source of natural capital since 2012. Our forestry vehicles provides access to tax-efficient, sustainable investments with greater diversity than acquiring a single site.

Peatland restoration with Scottish Woodlands

Lowland and upland peatlands which are heavily degraded will no longer support natural vegetation and will release carbon into the atmosphere. However, together with our operating partner, Scottish Woodlands, our active, sustainable management of peatland sites is turning these carbon emitting sites into a carbon capture opportunity, whilst also developing biodiversity in the area.

Native planting at Glen Dye Moor

Through our involvement in one of the UK's largest natural capital projects at Glen Dye Moor, we are helping to promote biodiversity through the planting of native trees and shrubs and the creation of wetlands supporting the full life cycle of dozens of species.

Glen Dye Moor acquisition

The moor was acquired in December 2021 by Par Equity in partnership with Aviva Investors. Prior to the acquisition the previous owners used the land as a deer forest and grouse moor with sporting rights, which ceased when we bought it.

Managing natural capital vehicles

Since 2012, our team has accumulated considerable industry expertise and contacts and we now manage a range of natural capital vehicles, funds and mandates.
