Investing in Working Forests and the Communities that Depend on them
Chinook Forest Partners invests in and manages working forests across the Pacific Northwest. With an integrated approach spanning forestry to manufacturing, we build long-term value through sustainable forest management, operational excellence, and community partnership.
Our Integrated Approach
Since 2018, Chinook has focused on acquiring and managing quality working forests across the Pacific Northwest. In December 2025, our strategy expanded with the acquisition of South Coast Lumber, adding manufacturing operations and additional timberlands to our portfolio.
Our Industry-leading Model encompasses:
Our Advantage
This integration gives us direct control over the supply chain from forest to finished product, enabling better forest management decisions and long-term value creation.
While many competitors have moved toward land speculation and carbon credits, Chinook invests in both forestland stewardship and manufacturing operations.
We invest in operational excellence across our holdings — sustainable forestry practices, workforce development, and facility modernization.
Our approach captures carbon benefits across the full life cycle — from forests that sequester carbon as they grow to wood products that store carbon for decades in homes and buildings.
What Makes Chinook Different
WORKING FORESTS
We actively manage working forests because proper management creates healthier, more resilient landscapes. Our approach balances productive timber with wildlife habitat and community economic health. This, in turn, supports regional mills, sustains local employment, and ensures a consistent fiber supply for Pacific Northwest communities.
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
We invest in communities for the long term by maintaining stable operations and investing in our workforce. In Oregon, South Coast Lumber represents hundreds of jobs as a vital employer that we’re committed to sustaining.
PATIENT CAPITAL
We operate with patient capital, enabling us to be highly selective in acquisitions and to focus on long-term value creation. And invest in quality timberland and manufacturing assets, then optimize them through operational excellence, sustainable forest management, and strategic capital deployment to build long-term value.
Chinook's Commitment To Communities
Our working forests span communities across the Pacific Northwest, from Oregon to Washington, where forestland and manufacturing operations sustain local economies and keep rural areas strong. We’re invested for the long term.
In December 2025, we completed the acquisition of South Coast Lumber, a cornerstone employer in Brookings, Oregon. This integration deepens our Pacific Northwest roots and demonstrates how long-term partnership and operational excellence can build shared prosperity.
