Campbell Global, a J.P. Morgan company and a global investment manager focused on forestland, has closed the acquisition of Sandpiper Forest, a timberland asset in Louisiana. The transaction expands Campbell Global’s presence across the U.S. South and is intended to support sustainable forest management and long-term value creation for investors.
“We’re pleased to rejoin the sustainable forestry community in Louisiana with the acquisition of this prime timberland asset. The property complements our growing portfolio across the U.S. South and is well positioned in a robust market area to deliver long-term value for our investors,” said Stephen Levesque, Managing Director of Forest Operations for Campbell Global.
Campbell Global said future operations are expected to provide living-wage employment opportunities for local residents in rural communities and to support local mill operations across the region. The company also noted potential for alternative revenue sources.
The firm said it has decades of experience operating in Louisiana and the broader U.S. South, and that its on-the-ground teams and forestry professionals are positioned to manage Sandpiper Forest to operational and sustainability standards, while optimizing for timber yield, habitat protection, and long-term asset value.
