The New Forest

Weyerhaeuser decided to rapidly salvage and reforest eruption-damaged land because every acre plays an important part in supplying the forest products we all use every day. But reforestation is only the beginning of the story about the new forest.

Our philosophy of forest management is based on knowledge of the natural forest and its cycles. We are continuously learning about and improving our understanding of trees, soil, water and life within the forest. Applying the principles of science, we protect natural resources, improve productivity and maintain an indispensable, renewable resource from which we all benefit. Here is what we have done to rebuild the Mount St. Helens forests under our stewardship.
