Big Black River is an investment holding company that owns properties located in south west Mississippi, principally along the Mississippi River and Big Black River. This area is nationally known for its excellent deer, turkey and waterfowl hunting, which we believe is attributable to the superior genetic stock of the native deer population, favorable terrain, and years of consistent land and game management practices. The properties are also home to a dense and diverse stand of hardwood timber. The Company’s primary operations include timber harvesting, reforestation, and forest management, as well as the licensing of land for recreational use and select land purchases and sales. We plan to manage these operations with a steadfast focus on sustainable forestry and wildlife management practices.
Big Black River is a portfolio company of Jones Capital, a privately owned holding company focused primarily on investing in timber, real estate and middle market businesses.
