Land Management

From site preparation, planting, and maintenance, to final timber sale and harvest compliance, Rayonier foresters skillfully manage our timberlands. Detailed descriptive information is maintained on land ownership, timber inventory, and the location of each Rayonier forest using the Geographic Information System (GIS). Forecasting models provide the basis for long- and short-term harvest planning, which enables us to calculate sustainable solutions that maximize the present value of our timberlands. Foresters and environmental specialists create a vibrant, sustainable environment.
