In 2010, in the United States, Weyerhaeuser:

• Purchased wood directly from 2,214 private forest owners and provided them with information on reforestation and best management practices.
• Provided information on reforestation and best management practices to 4,110 indirect suppliers, such as loggers who supply logs to third-party sawmills that sell their residual chips to Weyerhaeuser.
• Communicated our procurement policies to loggers, chip suppliers, wood dealers and other raw-material suppliers.
• Provided information about sustainable forestry to more than 2,200 family forest owners in the United States. About 500 of these owners—who manage a total of more than 128,000 acres—participated in our Land Owner Assistance Program. In 2010, we helped these owners develop forest-management plans, provided 2.3 million seedlings at no cost, and helped regenerate 2,480 acres through planting and 4,265 acres through natural regeneration.
