With their quickly-changing elevations, these forests can and do serve many different species’ needs in the various microclimates that ascend toward their peaks. Around the world, it is common to find “endemic” species in the mountains, which are species that are found nowhere else in the world.
At Rayonier, we’re not only in the business of timber production: we provide and protect a variety of expansive, diverse habitats. Through a carefully-managed harvesting and replanting cycle, working forests are composed of a mosaic of forest ages. This provides a biodiverse landscape. Biodiversity plays a critical role in the health of our forests and the ecosystems which rely on them. We welcome you to explore our forests and discover the wildlife and plantlife that thrives within the ecosystems we take pride in protecting.
