Rayonier's silvicultural practices increase the value of each successive generation of trees planted.
Our regeneration centers in Glennville, GA and Elberta, AL grow advanced, industry-leading seedlings until they’re ready to be planted across
Rayonier’s timberlands. Our pine seedlings are improved naturally by scientifically combining the flowers and pollens of tree stock from the straightest, fastest-growing and most disease-resistant trees. With approximately 43 acres in production and an annual capacity of 25 million seedlings, our Glennville facility has produced nearly 1 billion tree seedlings since 1956. And now, our Elberta location gives forestry consultants, land owners and wetland reclamation specialists the added benefit of direct access to 25 different species of hardwoods and up to 20 million seedlings.
At the seed orchard in Sequim, Wash. Rayonier geneticists work to improve the quality of our tree stock by selecting the fastest-growing, locally-adapted trees to produce seed. These seeds are planted and the seedlings are then grown in the nursery for two to three years before being planted on our lands.
