Planet

Forests that Weyerhaeuser owns or manages provide habitat for a number of threatened or endangered species. A litter of endangered red wolves was born on our timberlands in North Carolina in 2010.

In 2010, we spent $26.1 million on forestry research topics including forest health and productivity, water quality, fish and wildlife, landscape management and biodiversity. We’ve partnered with the Southeastern Bat Diversity Network to better understand bats.

Weyerhaeuser uses almost every portion of every log in our manufacturing processes. Our Kenora, Ontario associates have been recognized for their efforts in waste minimization.

We have a goal to reduce water use at our cellulose fibers mills 20 percent by 2012, from a 2007 baseline. Our Longview, Wash. cellulose fibers mill has reduced water use in support of this goal.

Our chemical management policy sets expectations for reducing chemical risk. Our Sutton, West Va., oriented strand board plant reduced its chemical inventory through focused efforts.
