BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group (BTG Pactual TIG) has acquired approximately 107,000 acres of sustainably managed timberlands in Central Virginia from the Weyerhaeuser Company. The transaction significantly expands the investment manager's regional footprint and brings its total US portfolio to approximately 1.6 million acres under management, according to BTG Pactual TIG.
The property holds Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certification and consists primarily of loblolly pine. A preliminary assessment by The Nature Conservancy found that 25% of the property falls within areas of high ecological and biodiversity value, while the tract also contains 50 miles of ecologically important stream systems. The asset benefits from established infrastructure and diverse regional end-market access.
BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group is one of the world’s largest timberland investment managers.
