Rayonier Research Biometrician Stephanie Patton explains what a Forest Biometrician does and what it takes to become one.
The in-house research team not only stays on top of the latest research, but conducts research projects of their own to address challenges in our forests.
In our Rayonier Graduates series, we’re talking to recent Forestry College graduates who now work for Rayonier. In this story, Ph.D. candidate April Meeks shares her love of the technical and scientific sides of forestry and why she chose to study forestry at North Carolina State University.
A forestry major offers a wide range of high-demand job opportunities in a field that plays an important role in carbon sequestration, protecting threatened and endangered species, and improving air and water quality.
We gather our pinecones by the tractor trailer load, but only the best will do. We share how we breed and collect the best cones and extract their seeds for future forests.
A Rayonier biometrician and a French forestry engineer are collaborating on a project they hope inspires other researchers to seek insight from their peers around the globe.
Rayonier’s genetic research team offers a behind-the-scenes look at how we use a carefully-controlled pollination process to breed our best-performing tree families.
Our genetics research team shows how grafting helps them save years of time in their ongoing quest to advance the quality of our trees.
