We specialize in the sustainable development and management of commercial hardwood plantations for the production of high-quality veneer logs from Gmelina arborea, Eucalyptus pellita and Acacia mangium.

Our trees provide homes and refuge to wildlife

Our trees provide essential habitats and refuge for wildlife across Nigeria’s rapidly changing landscapes. As the country continues to lose forest cover at an alarming rate, these protected green areas become critical sanctuaries for birds, mammals, reptiles, and countless plant species that depend on forest ecosystems to survive. Nigeria is among the nations with the fastest rates of forest loss in the world. Between 2001 and 2024, the country lost more than 1.25 million hectares of tree cover, a decline driven by logging, agricultural expansion, urban growth, and fuelwood demand. In 2024 alone, Nigeria recorded a loss of 250,000 hectares of natural forest, contributing significantly to carbon emissions and biodiversity decline.

Sustainability

At Rex Forestry, sustainability guides every aspect of how we grow, protect, and manage our forest landscapes. Our commitment extends across environmental stewardship, community wellbeing, and responsible governance.  

We invest in biodiversity conservation, carbonpositive forest management, and safe, efficient operations supported by robust HSE systems.  

Our sustainability approach is deeply rooted in partnership with neighbouring communities. Through our structured CSR Work Plan, developed through ongoing stakeholder engagement and FPIC principles, we deliver projects that address real community needs. These include: 

  • Clean Water Access: New and rehabilitated boreholes across underserved villages. 
  • Education Support: School renovations, sanitation facilities, learning materials, teacher support, and annual scholarship programs. 
  • Rural Infrastructure: Road rehabilitation, solar street lighting, and safer transportation routes. 
  • Community Safety: Road signage, awareness campaigns, and emergency support. 
  • Livelihood & Special Projects: Beekeeping (honey enterprise), wastemanagement initiatives, youth fishfarming, and conservation programs such as the Chimpanzee Habitat Protection initiative.  

Together with our communities, we are building a sustainable landscape—one that protects biodiversity, strengthens local economies, and creates shared longterm value for people and the planet. 

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

At Rex Forestry, we believe in building a future that is environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, and ethically grounded. Our CSR initiatives reflect our commitment to making a meaningful impact on the communities we serve and the forests we protect.
