Communities

We are proud of our involvement in the communities where we operate. It’s our goal not only to support important projects in the communities where we operate, but also to partner and build relationships with all stakeholders with whom we live and work.

We made our first charitable contribution in 1903, and currently provide philanthropic support through our Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund, Making WAVES and iWAVE employee volunteer programs, and in-kind support. In 2011, these efforts totaled $3.7 million in charitable giving. In addition, 1,364 employees and retirees completed 135 volunteer projects, contributing more than 21,660 volunteer hours to our communities.

We also support forestry education, primarily through our Forest Learning Center at Mount St. Helens, in Washington, and our Environmental Education Center in Cool Springs, North Carolina.

Additionally, every year we engage in a wide range of activities with various stakeholder groups to strive for understanding and mutually beneficial relationships.
