With the completed acquisition of Longview Timber's approximately 645,000 acres of forestland in Washington state and Oregon in July, Weyerhaeuser Company now owns or manages approximately 20.5 million acres of forestland in the U.S. and Canada, making the company one of North America's—and the world's—largest private sustainable forestry operations.
