RMS is proud that all of the more than 2.5 million acres of forestlands we manage globally for our investor owners are certified to a PEFC endorsed or FSC® forest management system. Our commitment to responsible forest management is a reflection of our land stewardship ethic, which influences every aspect of our investment process.

Fostering the next generation of forestry investment professions has been one of several key focuses for RMS since our founding in 1950. RMS employees are committed to supporting and mentoring students with their knowledge and passion for the implementation of active sustainable forestry management for institutional investors.

RMS and SAF announced at the SAF National Convention that the 2022 recipient of the joint forestry scholarship is Sara Groban, a junior at California Polytechnic State University Humboldt.
