Reforestation Projects Portfolio Financial Model (Excel XLSX)

Reforestation can be defined as the process of replanting trees in areas that have been affected by natural disturbances like wildfires, drought, and insect and disease infestations – and unnatural ones like logging, mining, agricultural clearing, and development. Two important purposes of reforestation programs are for harvesting of wood or for climate change mitigation purposes. Reforestation can also help with ecosystem restoration. By planting trees in areas that have been degraded or deforested, reforestation helps the environment by guaranteeing, or accelerating the re-establishment of healthy forest structure by regrowing the forest canopy and preserving biodiversity within the ecosystem.

This Financial model presents a portfolio of up to 10 different reforestation projects and includes assumptions of Project Development costs (Land Costs, Planting of trees and bushes, custodial management, carbon credits, etc), Revenue from wood harvesting, bushes products and carbon credits, Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures and Projects Financing through Equity & Debt.

Outputs of the model include Cash Flow Analysis and Returns per Project, Total Portfolio Cash flow & Retunr Metrics, Investors Distribution Waterfall  and a professional Executive Summary presenting portfolio performance and key metrics. 

The structure of the template follows Financial Modeling Best Practices principles and is fully customizable.
