We manage forests for the long term. That means keeping forests healthy, productive, and resilient in the face of wildfire, drought, insects, and disease.

But responsible forest management also produces low-value wood, thinnings, slash, chips, bark, and other residuals that need a productive use.

When markets exist for those materials, more forest health work becomes economically achievable. Strong markets help us reduce hazardous fuels, support rural jobs, and keep working forests healthy for the next generation.

It’s time to vote! The finalists from our t-shirt idea contest are here, and we need your help choosing the winners. Vote today by selecting your top three favorite designs: https://shirtidea.rayonier.com

The winning designs will become our next Rayonier forestry t-shirts and will be distributed at the Convention.

Forests have always been carbon-capturing technology.

As trees grow, they pull carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the forest – and when sustainably harvested wood becomes homes, buildings, furniture, and other long-lived products, that carbon can remain stored beyond the forest.

When emergencies strike, our local fire and rescue crews are always ready to answer the call. That’s why Rayonier is honored to support the Georgia Forestry Commission with a recent donation to help outfit their emergency response chainsaw trailer.

This trailer is a vital resource for crews clearing roads, managing wildfires, and responding to natural disasters across the state.

A huge thank you to the Georgia Forestry Commission for their dedication and quick response when it matters most. Together, we’re ensuring our first responders have the tools they need to stay safe and effective in the field.

Looking back at a great week in the woods! 🌲Last month, we were honored to welcome the Florida Forestry Teachers' Tour back to our forests.

Educators from across the state joined us to get a firsthand look at sustainable forestry, modern land management, and the wide variety of careers available in the timber industry. We love this event because it gives teachers the real-world knowledge and resources they need to bring the story of sustainable forestry back to their classrooms.

Thank you to all the dedicated educators who spent time with us, and to the Florida Forest Service, Florida Forestry Association, Florida Project Learning Tree and Friends of Florida State Forests for making this tour possible every year!
