Molpus Woodlands Group Announces the Acquisition of 36,283 acres in Virginia

The Molpus Woodlands Group, LLC (Molpus), a timberland investment management organization (TIMO), headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, has announced today, on behalf of its clients, the successful purchase of approximately 36,283 acres in Virginia.

Located in twenty-three counties surrounding the Richmond, Virginia, area, the primarily southern pine planation property has been in timber production for decades and is located in a stable timber market and a growing bioenergy market area.  The property offers unique recreational opportunities due to its proximity to major metropolitan areas such as Richmond and Fredericksburg, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. 

“Molpus is pleased to expand its existing operations in Virginia, where we have strong existing relationships with major timber customers,” said Ken Sewell, Chief Operating Officer of Molpus Timberlands Management. “We will continue to intensively manage these productive pine plantations and look to expand existing recreational activities.” 

Molpus currently has 1,600,000 acres under management, valued in excess of $1.5 billion.
