We're working together to be the world’s premier timber, land, and forest products company.
About Weyerhaeuser
For more than a century, we’ve been growing trees and making forest products that improve lives in fundamental ways. We manage our millions of acres of forests on a continuous and fully sustainable cycle. We are responsible stewards of our land for multiple uses, including recreation, conservation, economic development and different forms of renewable energy.
And the wood products we make are used to build homes where families are sheltered and raised.
Weyerhaeuser Company began more than 100 years ago with 900,000 acres of timberland, three employees and a small office in Tacoma, Washington. Founded in 1900 by Frederick Weyerhaeuser, we’ve grown to become one of the largest sustainable forest products companies in the world.
We invite you to explore our rich history of expertise, innovation and strong values, which form the foundation of our company for many more decades to come.
