The article focuses on the Conservation Fund and conflicting resource rights that hinder investment in timber and coal. Hidden beneath a misty canopy of oak, pine and hickory trees on 75,000 acres of timberland in eastern Tennessee, an investment opportunity of the rarest kind is unfolding--one that unites bickering factions of timber companies, coal miners, state regulators and greenie activists. In the Cumberland Forest deal, the Conservation Fund has made itself the middleman in a fractious relationship between rival rights owners. The dealmaker is the Conservation Fund, which seeks to preserve pristine lands by lining up big investors to buy the tracts outright. Longtime environmentalist Patrick Noonan founded it in 1985 with the "genius grant" he was awarded by the MacArthur Foundation. Each year the group looks at 500 deals and gets involved in a quarter of them. "We speak their language; we know what the hurdle rate is," says the Conservation Fund's chief executive, Lawrence A. Selzer. The 75,000-acre sweep of forest in eastern Tennessee was the unwanted asset of International Paper. The Conservation Fund's pinstriped M.B.A.s took on--for a fee that covered their expenses--the mountain of paperwork required to divvy up the rights into neat and sellable strata and then helped match the owners with new buyers. They also stripped the tract of its development rights and stipulated that much of the land must stay open for recreation and that wetlands and wildlife must be protected. For the timber rights, the greenie dealmakers brought in a TIMO--a timberland investment management organization--GMO Renewable Resources in Boston.
