While timber is a hard asset, it is highly cyclical and lacks the high ROIC, asset-light compounder characteristics, and explosive growth potential demanded by our investment philosophy.

Rayonier Inc. is a leading pure-play timberland REIT, owning and managing over 2.7 million acres of timberland in the U.S. South and New Zealand, generating revenue primarily from timber sales and land transactions. Its competitive advantage lies in its vast, strategically located timberland base and sustainable forestry management practices, providing a renewable resource with long-term capital appreciation potential. The company's business model offers stable cash flows derived from timber harvests and potential value from higher and better use land sales.
