Thanks for watching and best of luck in your career!

Shawn recommends it! Forest engineering is a great field to go into. You can learn more about forest engineering in our article about this profession at www.rayonier.com/stories/forest-engineers-build-100s-of-eco-friendly-roads-bridges/.

Best of luck to you! It's an excellent field of study and a job with real demand in the workforce!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey JD. Species like pine trees thrive on drier ground, while hardwoods thrive on wetter ground. So, for example, on our land in the Southeast U.S., we have natural hardwood forests on the wetter sites and pines we grow for fiber on the drier sites. About one third of our land is composed of wetlands and hardwoods that we choose to protect.

@@rayonierinc.4618 hey thanks for the reply my issue is I was wondering if companies like paper mills and stuff would use worms or caterpillars to destroy a forest to make way for a future Forest! I'm finding tiny maggots embedded underneath the bark of my maple trees they don't seem native , they're trying to Winter over under the bark? And in the Summers I'm infested with tiny caterpillars that seem to be targeting my white birch up here in Maine. Just wondering if you had heard of any of these extremely fd up practices by lumber companies!

@@jdsmith5060 it sounds like something your local extension office could help you get to the bottom of -- perhaps an invasive species that came through the ports? Every county in the U.S. has an extension office, and they offer a free service to look at your vegetation and trees, diagnose issues, and advise you.

Hey Jack! We love New Zealand and have an amazing team of forestry workers there. This video was filmed in the state of Georgia, just north of its border with Florida near the Southeast coast of the United States.

You're welcome!

Brandon, we actually talked to a Materials Research Engineer with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Products Laboratory about that in the article linked below. Here's what he had to say: “Alternative sources [like hemp] could never do economically what wood does. It is the densest cellulose resource we know of on earth. All other resources would require a tremendous expense in transportation costs.” For example, he explains, if a paper mill required 100 tons per-day of wood in order to operate efficiently, that could be reasonably supplied by the forestry industry. “It would be impossible to get that much hemp or cotton or flax. The density just isn’t there,” he says. You can read the full article here: www.rayonier.com/stories/using-paper-toilet-paper-and-cardboard-is-good-for-forests/

Thanks! Stephanie is so passionate about what she does and has a great way of explaining it!

Paul, that's great to hear! Our nursery team has done a wonderful job innovating whenever challenges arise.

Yes! It's fascinating to think what it takes to make the materials around us!

Our understanding is that the Pacific Veneer team's customers are primarily using the veneer to make construction grade plywood.

Hi @Konnomaki! We are based in the U.S. and New Zealand -- this video was taken just south of Canada in Washington state. Do you notice a lot of differences in what we discuss in this video vs. what you do in Finland?

Glad it was helpful, and best of luck to you as you make the transition. There was a study out in recent years that said those who work in forestry are some of the happiest employees in the workforce. I hope you find that to be true!

Thanks! Yes, it's all part of an ongoing cycle!

I wish loggers in South America who are cutting down the Amazon jungle could learn from your company.

Thanks! It was an honor to tag along with the tour and see firsthand what an incredible impact it is having!

Thank you @jaydensmith9842 -- we loved having you on the team!

Sounds like you are well on your way, working as an associate mechanical engineer. Perhaps there are forestry companies in Pakistan that do similar work? Best of luck to you in your career!
