1. Rayonier Confidential and Proprietary Information FIA - The Changing Needs of Private Sector Current Uses and Future Enhancements SAF National FIA User Group Meeting New Orleans, LA March 3, 2009

2. Rayonier Confidential and Proprietary Information Current Uses  Wood Basket Analysis – is the resource increasing, decreasing 1) Set distance radii around a mill 2) Group of counties or an entire state  Supplement or Proxy Inventory Data. 1) FIA growth rates when CFI measurements are lacking 2) FIA Species or dbh distributions applied to gross inventory estimates 3) FIA site index estimates  Input Data for the SRTS (Sub-Regional Timber Supply) model.

3. Rayonier Confidential and Proprietary Information Wood Basket Example  The Typical Situation: A new wood using facility is scheduled to open near one of our mills. The new facility will use X tons per year.  Question: How large of an impact will this new wood consumption have on our mill’s wood basket?  Strategy: Do we need to change our species mix or other procurement strategy to keep fiber costs stable.
