To
improve quality, weve used selective pruning to produce knot-free
wood. Within the next five years, well begin harvesting this timber
for use in appearance-grade lumber and other higher-value products
that command higher market values. Weyerhaeuser is a leader in the
development of the Sustainable Forestry InitiativeSM
(SFI), a comprehensive program developed by members of the
American Forest & Paper Association.
|
|
Under SFI, participating private forest landowners follow a land
stewardship ethic that integrates forestry and conservation practices.
This ensures that we meet present needs without compromising the
ability of future generations to access wood and enjoy a healthy
environment. We view SFI as a natural extension of our long-standing
commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable forestry.
In the future, we will continue to manage this asset to enhance
its value and generate shareholder value.
