  Weyerhaeuser Hunter and Recreational Use Hotline

  Washington:  1-866-636-6531
  Oregon:      1-888-741-5403

The 24-hour numbers are the primary information source for people hunting, fishing or hiking on Weyerhaeuser's 2.3 million acres of tree farms in Washington and Oregon.

The recorded message alerts callers about closures that may be necessary due to logging activity or fire danger. It also gives information about safety, motorized vehicle use, and hunting and visitor rules. The hotline is a helpful planning tool when considering a trip to Weyerhaeuser forests.

Safety is Weyerhaeuser's top concern. Weyerhaeuser relies on visitors to help keep company lands open for public use by reporting any activity that puts them or our tree farms at risk. Vandalism, garbage dumping and unsafe activities cannot be tolerated, and could result in closures. Weyerhaeuser appreciates the public's cooperation in helping keep our forests open and available.

Weyerhaeuser Company, one of the world's largest integrated forest products companies, was incorporated in 1900. In 2003, sales were $19.9 billion. It has offices or operations in 18 countries, with customers worldwide. Weyerhaeuser is principally engaged in the growing and harvesting of timber; the manufacture, distribution and sale of forest products; and real estate construction, development and related activities.
