Peter Ostroske at Canopy
Why does Canopy buy forest management service providers?
We believe high-quality forest management businesses are critical long-term assets that deserve patient ownership, strong operators, and consistent investment in people and practices.
What type of businesses is Canopy looking for?
We focus on forest management service providers with predictable cash flow, long-standing client relationships, experienced field leadership, and a track record of consistent operations across economic and industry cycles.
How does Canopy approach ownership differently?
Canopy is a long-term owner. We do not buy businesses with the intention of selling them and focus instead on operational excellence and durability over decades.
What happens to my team after a transaction?
Our goal is to ensure the business is well led over the long term, whether that involves retaining current leaders, promoting from within, or introducing new management.
Will my company lose its identity?
No. We respect the history and reputation of each business and seek to preserve what makes it successful while supporting thoughtful evolution.
What role do sellers play after closing?
Succession is planned intentionally. Sellers may remain involved, help mentor new leadership, or step back entirely.
