They’re also “oxygen factories” that help purify the air we aii breathe. Young, fast-growing forests like ours cleanse the air by converting vast amounts of carbon dioxide into wood and oxygen. Old, slow-growing trees, on the other hand, are much less efficient at this conversion process. Most people believe that across our nation we should retain some older forests, for particular wildlife, aesthetic or other values. We agree. But in Weyerhaeuser’s working forests, we also believe people, wildlife, and the environment all benefit when ' we harvest mature trees, use their wood wisely, and promptly replant our lands to begin once more the whole process of forest renewal. The result, across America, is millions of acres of carefully nurtured Weyerhaeuser forests that are healthy, vigorous, economically useful, and a source of cleaner air for us all. A Weyerhaeuser 3A
