BTG Pactual TIG Acquires 107,000 Acres of Timberland in Virginia from Weyerhaeuser

On Thursday, BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group (TIG) announced it has acquired approximately 107,000 acres of sustainably managed timberland in Central Virginia from Weyerhaeuser.

The transaction represents one of the largest recent timberland deals in Virginia and expands BTG Pactual TIG’s US portfolio to approximately 1.6 million acres under management.

The property is SFI-certified and consists primarily of loblolly pine. It includes established infrastructure, access to diverse regional end markets, and an age profile positioned for long-term value creation. The acreage is expected to integrate with BTG Pactual TIG’s existing operations in the region.

The acquisition also supports expanded conservation efforts through BTG Pactual TIG’s collaboration with NatureVest, The Nature Conservancy’s in-house impact investing and nature finance team. NatureVest serves as conservation advisor to the firm’s core US timberland strategy, helping integrate conservation science and outcomes into land management practices.

A preliminary assessment conducted by The Nature Conservancy found that approximately 25% of the property falls within areas of high ecological and biodiversity value. The land also includes 50 miles of ecologically important, resilient stream systems that may support long-term watershed and ecosystem health.
