Our Entrepreneurial Spirit Identifies Opportunities.

In the early 1980s, Duncan Campbell recognized the benefit to investors in an emerging trend in timberland ownership. As a result, he founded The Campbell Group, LLC in 1981 to acquire and manage timberland for institutional and high-net worth investors. Since our founding, the professional expertise and progressive approach of The Campbell Group have helped clients enhance their portfolios with the strong performance and unique growth attributes of timberland.

An Opportunistic Focus Delivers Client Value

We create the best return for our clients by investing opportunistically. That is, we acquire timberlands regardless of location) when an attractive opportunity arises that meets our clients' risk-return expectations.

We optimize returns through focused investment and management strategies for acquiring, managing and disposing timberlands.
