PORTLAND, Ore., April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Campbell Global, a J.P.

This transaction expands Campbell Global's footprint across the U.S. South and reinforces the firm's commitment to sustainable forest management and long-term value creation for its investors.

"We're pleased to rejoin the sustainable forestry community in Louisiana with the acquisition of this prime timberland asset.

Sandpiper Forest: High-Quality, Sustainably Managed Timberland in a Robust Market

• Scale and location: Sandpiper Forest comprises approximately 29,760 productive acres (~12,043 hectares) of commercial timberland located across Louisiana, positioning the asset to serve a diversified demand base with several mills in proximity within one of the stronger forest products markets in the U.S. South. This market features diverse solid wood and engineered products manufacturing facilities, strong pulpwood demand, and emerging forest biomass technologies.
  
  
• Stewardship and certification: The property is 100% certified to Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) standards, underscoring Campbell Global's commitment to sustainable management.
  
  
• Water resources and habitat: Sandpiper Forest includes approximately 5,703 acres (~2,308 hectares) of streamside management zones and 12 acres of beaver ponds, with 202 miles of protected streams on the property—42 miles of ephemeral, 128 miles of intermittent, and 32 miles of perennial streams—creating a mosaic of diverse wildlife habitats that support species such as alligator snapping turtles and Calcasieu Creek crawfish.
  
  
• Timber resources: The property supports approximately 2.1 million trees of different ages and species, including 1.8 million loblolly pine and roughly 63,000 sweetgum, with scattered white oak, elm, and shortleaf pine across the landscape.
  
  
• Economic impact and alternative revenues: 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, with potential for alternative revenue sources.

Campbell Global has decades of experience operating in Louisiana and the broader U.S. South. The firm's on-the-ground teams and forestry professionals are well positioned to manage Sandpiper Forest to the highest operational and sustainability standards, while optimizing for timber yield, habitat protection, and long-term asset value.
