BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group (BTG Pactual TIG) has acquired approximately 107,000 acres of Central Virginia timberlands from Seattle-based Weyerhaeuser Company. 
The acquisition represents one of the largest recent timberland transactions in Virginia and brings the firm’s total U.S. portfolio to approximately 1.6 million acres under management. Weyerhaeuser, the nation's largest private timberland owner, says it owns or controls roughly 10.4 million acres of timberlands, primarily in the West, South and Northeast.
The property is Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certified, consisting primarily of loblolly pine.
Weyerhaeuser has been active in the timberland market in recent months. The company completed the divestiture of 28,000 acres of timberlands in Oregon for $190 million in October. In addition, the company says it "made progress" on two additional divestiture transactions in the fourth quarter of 2025. In December, Weyerhaeuser also completed the sale of approximately 86,000 acres in Georgia and Alabama for $216 million, along with this most recent deal for the acreage in Virginia acreage in Virginia (which the company said in its Q4 earnings was for $193 million).
