Campbell Global, a J.P. Morgan company, has closed the acquisition of Sandpiper Forest, a commercial timberland property in Louisiana that includes 29,760 productive acres (12,043 hectares).
The property spans multiple locations across Louisiana, with several mills nearby that buy solid wood, engineered wood products, and pulpwood. Sandpiper Forest is 100% certified to Sustainable Forestry Initiative standards. The certification applies across the property.
The site includes 5,703 acres (2,308 hectares) of streamside management zones and 12 acres of beaver ponds. It also includes 202 miles of protected streams, 42 miles ephemeral, 128 miles intermittent, and 32 miles perennial, and the release lists habitat for species including alligator snapping turtles and Calcasieu Creek crawfish.
Campbell Global reports the property supports about 2.1 million trees of different ages and species. The inventory includes about 1.8 million loblolly pine softwood trees and about 63,000 sweetgum hardwood trees, along with scattered white oak, elm, and shortleaf pine. Future operations are expected to provide living-wage employment opportunities for local residents in rural communities and to support local mill operations, with potential for alternative revenue sources.
Campbell Global said it has managed more than 5 million acres worldwide and, as of Dec. 31, 2025, oversees $10.9 billion in assets and 1.5 million acres globally with about 140 employees. It also reported closing its Forest & Climate Solutions Fund II in March 2025 after raising $1.5 billion, and said total capital raised for the strategy reached $2.3 billion including separate account mandates.
