An endlessly renewable resource that can be grown and nurtured forever. But healthy, productive forests don’t just happen. They’re created from sun, soil, water, air Nature’s building blocks of life aided by the skills and dedication of professional foresters. At Weyerhaeuser, we grow trees through a balanced, long range program of thoughtful, caring forestry. It’s the best way we know to keep up with the world’s growing demand for wood, pulp and paper products. It’s also an important part of forest conservation. Because growing more wood faster in our forests, on land devoted to tree growth, frees other kinds of forests for other uses. Including just being left alone. Useful products for today. Green, growing forests for future generations. And a wider range of forestry choices for America. That’s what Weyerhaeuser Forestry helps make possible. Every day. A Weyerhaeuser
