Raw Material Sources

More than 60 percent of the logs and wood chips we use in our U.S. and Canadian operations come from certified forests. The uncertified portion of our supply in the United States comes mainly from small, family-owned forests and in Canada mainly from publicly owned forests not managed by Weyerhaeuser. In 2008, our U.S. and Canadian manufacturing facilities that use logs and chips as their raw material consumed 15.6 million cunits of wood fiber. (One cunit equals 100 cubic feet of solid wood.)
