About Us

ForestRe, created in 2005, is unique in being the only global specialist forestry agency for the insurance and reinsurance for all types of forests and industrial tree plantations.
ForestRe engineers the transfer of risk from investors to insurers that is associated with investments into forests; conventional wood fibre production, industrial tree crops and projects delivering ecosystem services such as forest carbon, water quality, and other benefits.
From January 2008, ForestRe has entered into agreement with four Lloyd’s Syndicates of London: Ascot, Talbot, Chaucer, and Hiscox. The ground-breaking ForestRe – Lloyds Agreement provides a very significant addition to the global capacity available for the insurance and reinsurance of forestry. This line slip facility is administered by Benfield Group, London.
Our team has over 25 years of experience in crop risk assessment and agricultural insurance product design. This experience ensures that our products are designed by us as practitioners for forestry professionals. We model data to the highest standards in order to provide realistic rates for tailor-made forest insurance products worldwide.
