“We are extremely fortunate to have Jody Strickland join the F&W team,” said Marshall Thomas, F&W president. “She has tremendous experience in timberland acquisitions and sales and will greatly enhance F&W’s forest real estate capabilities.”
Under Strickland’s leadership, F&W will locate forest properties for clients, conduct a financial analysis on the purchase, and oversee the acquisition. Additionally, F&W offers investors turnkey administration of their forestland, including integrated forest management, timber sales, accounting services, and, if desirable, the disposition of the properties.
Prior to joining F&W, Strickland spent four years as acquisition manager at Weyerhaeuser where she was responsible for development and execution of the Timberlands Growth Strategy following the company’s conversion to REIT status. During her tenure the company purchased more than $2.8 billion worth of timberland.
Strickland’s background also includes 20 years of experience at Weyerhaeuser and Proctor & Gamble in leadership positions in forest operations, wood procurement, land management, harvesting, engineering, and manufacturing.
F&W is a major U.S. and international forestry management, consulting, and services firm headquartered in Albany, Ga., with operations throughout the major forestry regions of the U.S., South America, and France.
