ACR Team in the Field
Share
In late 2025, the ACR Forestry Team held a retreat and site visit in Arkansas, including a tour of the Weyerhaeuser Razorback IFM Project (ACR885). Located in the southeastern part of the state, the project covers 56,879 acres of forestland, primarily loblolly pine stands and hardwood bottomlands. Historically managed for timber, Weyerhaeuser reduced timber production through extended rotations to increase greenhouse gas emission reductions and removals.
Weyerhaeuser owns and manages 6.4 million acres of timberlands in the southeast U.S., a substantial part of their 10.4 million acres overall. In Arkansas alone the company owns 1.2 million acres. As Frederick Weyerhaeuser stated when he founded the company 125 years ago, “this is not for us, nor for our children, but for our grandchildren.”
Our host at Weyerhaeuser was Jason Gibson, Director of Forest Carbon. With 25 years of experience at the company, Jason and his colleagues showed us around the project area. Weyerhaeuser is committed to the forest economy in the rural communities where it operates. As a result, the carbon project incentivizes climate mitigation while ensuring ensure adequate supply to mills in the region. Set in the Saline and Bayou Bartholomew watersheds, the project area is ecologically rich, with more than 100 species of fish and numerous wildlife species. In addition, the Saline River is the last major stream in the Ouachita Mountains that has not been dammed.
ACR offers our sincere thanks to Weyerhaeuser for hosting us and for generously sharing their time and expertise.
