To improve quality, we’ve used selective pruning to produce knot-free wood. Within the next five years, we’ll 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.
