Grants Pass and Brookings, Ore. — November 5, 2025 — Chinook Forest Partners, a forestland investment manager located in Southwest Oregon, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire South Coast Lumber Co. and affiliates (“South Coast”), on behalf of long-term investors.
This acquisition encompasses 104,000 acres of premium coastal forest with modern manufacturing facilities. Chinook will manage these assets as a fully integrated platform within its portfolio of high-quality natural capital investments.
“This transition reflects our shared values and mutual respect,” said Mike Beckley, CEO and President of South Coast and a third-generation of the Fallert family. “Chinook understands what matters most: our people, our land, and our community. We are confident they will honor the legacy the Fallert family has built over four generations, while helping South Coast reach new levels of growth and opportunity.”
“South Coast is an exceptional organization — built over generations and guided by a team with deep expertise and vision,” said Chinook Forest Partners CEO Scott Marshall. “Our approach is rooted in long-term management: investing in people, operations, and communities to ensure these assets thrive for generations. This acquisition reinforces our commitment to sustainable forestry and positions Chinook as a differentiated partner to our investors.”
The transaction is expected to finalize before year-end 2025, pending customary closing conditions.
