Timberlands Ownership
TIMBERLANDS IN NORTH AMERICA
We manage 20.15 million acres of timberlands in North America. All of this acreage has been independently certified as meeting the requirements of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative standard. In October 2010, we joined with several First Nations, the Government of Ontario, and other forest companies and contractors to sign a historic shareholder-managed Sustainable Forest License covering the Kenora Forest in Ontario (shown as “cooperatively managed” on the map below).
TIMBERLANDS IN URUGUAY
We manage 324,030 acres of land in Uruguay, where we planted trees on grasslands that were primarily used for cattle grazing. A portion of this acreage is certified to the Forest Stewardship Council South American plantation standard. The remainder is managed to the requirements of our internal sustainable forestry policy. We have collaborated with others in Uruguay to finalize the Uruguayan sustainable forestry standard and are now working to gain recognition from the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification.
TIMBERLANDS IN CHINA
The 2,230 acres of land we own and manage in China is managed to the requirements of our internal sustainable forestry policy and we are currently developing plans for forest certification.
