Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Rayonier, Jacksonville, Fla., USA, reports that recent rains have allowed the company to re-open its Western Washington State lands to general public access, effective immediately. Rayonier owns 390,000 acres of timberlands in Grays Harbor, Pacific, Wahkiakum, Jefferson, Lewis, and Clallam Counties in the U.S. state of Washington.

"We appreciate the public's support in helping us prevent a serious forest fire during the dry weather," said Eduardo Hernandez, Rayonier's Pacific Resource Unit Leader. "We ask that folks returning to the forest follow signage designating areas closed to the general public and the Red Dot/Green Dot system controlling motorized access. While on the property, drive carefully, wear hunter orange, and always practice safe gun handling."

Rayonier has three core businesses—Forest Resources, Real Estate, and Performance Fibers. The company owns, leases, or manages 2.7 million acres of timber and land in the U.S. and New Zealand. Its holdings include approximately 200,000 acres with residential and commercial development potential along the Interstate 95 corridor between Savannah, Ga., and Daytona Beach, Fla. Its Performance Fibers business produces high-value specialty cellulose fibers used in products such as filters, pharmaceuticals, and LCD screens.
