Weyerhaeuser Losses

Weyerhaeuser has owned and managed its Mount St. Helens Tree Farm since 1900. We are the largest private landowner in the volcano's vicinity. The effects of the eruption on Weyerhaeuser land were:

• Nearly 68,000 acres (about 14 percent) of the tree farm were devastated.
• About 36,500 acres of merchantable timber of various ages and species were damaged.
• 26,000 acres of very young trees were destroyed.
• 5,500 acres of meadows, lakes, streams and lands being reforested were also damaged.
• Three logging camps with buildings, equipment and vehicles were ruined.
