Weyerhaeuser harvests only 2 to 3 percent of its forests each year.
Weyerhaeuser is a player in the race to develop a low-carbon biofuel. The company has teamed up with Chevron Corporation to assess the feasibility of commercializing biofuel production from cellulose-based sources. One such source could be switchgrass—a prairie grass native to the southeastern United States. Two 25-acre tests to grow switchgrass were planted in May 2007 on the company’s forestland in North Carolina and Mississippi.
