| Real Estate |
Thousands of acres of our extensive land holdings are becoming much more valuable for development, recreation or conservation than for growing timber. This is especially true in the high value coastal counties between Savannah, Georgia, and Daytona Beach, Florida, where we own approximately 200,000 acres.

A REIT with a Difference
Rayonier's unique mix and diversity of core businesses provides opportunities for short- and long-term growth, while offering stability of earnings and cash flow over the economic cycle. In addition, our tax-efficient structure as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) helps us provide superior returns to shareholders.
As a REIT, income from the sale of timber is generally not taxed at the corporate level, allowing us to distribute significantly more cash directly to investors in the form of a tax-efficient dividend.
Unlike most REITs, the taxable portion of Rayonier's dividend is generally treated as a long-term capital gain with a maximum rate, under current law, of 15 percent.
