Rayonier is a pure-play timberland real estate investment trust (REIT) with assets located in some of the strongest timber markets and most productive softwood timber-growing regions throughout the U.S. and New Zealand. We invest in and actively manage timberlands as well as seek to maximize the value of our land portfolio by providing land-based solutions to support the transition to a low-carbon economy, pursuing other non-timber revenue, and capitalizing on higher and better use (HBU) land sale opportunities.

Rayonier is dedicated to meeting the highest standards of sustainable forestry established by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®), Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification™ (PEFC™). Our timberlands are managed to these certification standards and our compliance is periodically evaluated through independent third-party audits.

We consistently aim to optimize the value of our land through site-specific management. While our trees are growing, we also seek opportunities to provide land-based solutions such as recreation, renewable energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), communication towers, beekeeping, minerals and carbon sequestration credits to meet society's needs. More broadly, given the carbon sequestration capabilities of our working forests, we believe we are well-positioned to participate in the transfomation to a low-carbon bioeconomy.
