Our scientists start with painstaking research to develop strains of trees that are especially healthy, strong and vigorous. Our harvest and planting crews protect and prepare our forest soils, and plant millions of these exceptional young trees each year. Our foresters thin our growing forests to provide more moisture, nutrients, sunshine and growing room for the trees that are left. We add nutrients to the young forest, and protect our trees from wildfire, insects and disease. All of this keeps Weyerhaeuser forests in excellent shape for soil, water and wildlife as well as trees. At the end of the growth cycle we harvest our trees, and promptly replant our lands, to begin once more the endless cycle of forest renewal and growth. It takes knowledge, caring and hard work to manage forests responsibly. But it’s something we do every day at Weyerhaeuser.. .The Tree Growing Company. A Weyerhaeuser Page 7A
