Fayetteville, Ark., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Georgia Forestry Association’s latest report, Shifting Ground, draws on land transaction insights from Acres.com to examine how forest ownership and land use are evolving across the state. Featured in the Summer 2025 issue of Georgia Forestry magazine, the report carries the “Powered by Acres” designation, a mark that signals credible, data-backed research built on the Acres platform.

The analysis examines key trends influencing Georgia’s forestland market, including generational turnover, external investment, and the emergence of diversified income streams, including hunting leases, carbon credits, and solar development. Acres’ data shows forestland sales in Georgia have remained strong at $3.5 to $4 billion annually since 2020, with average price per acre holding firm despite broader economic fluctuations.

“Access to transparent, reliable data is essential to understanding how Georgia’s forest landscape is changing,” said Tim Lowrimore, President and CEO of the Georgia Forestry Association. “By leveraging insights from Acres, we’re better equipped to support Georgia landowners and advocate for the long-term health of our working forests.”

Acres’ Vice President of Product and Data Science, Dr. Aaron Shew, added: “Georgia’s land market is shifting, not just in who owns the land, but in how it’s valued and managed. We’re proud to support analysis that helps bring clarity to those changes.”
