Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On December 13, 2007, Wells Timberland REIT, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an amended and restated advisory agreement (the "Amended Advisory Agreement") by and among the Company, Wells Timberland Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and Wells Timberland Management Organization, LLC (the "Advisor"). The Amended Advisory Agreement is effective through August 11, 2008, although any party may terminate the Amended Advisory Agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 60 days' written notice.

The Amended Advisory Agreement amends the indemnification provisions to specifically include the indemnification limitations contained in the North American Securities Administrators Association's Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts. The advisory agreement previously incorporated such limitations by reference to the Company's charter, which contained such limitations. The Amended Advisory Agreement also provides that under no circumstances shall the Advisor be entitled to receive duplicate fees from the Company and the Operating Partnership for the provision of the same services.
