🎶 Deck the halls with boughs of holly… from our forests! That's right—your fresh wreaths might come from our sustainably managed forests. 🌲

In fact, we grow 1 million pounds of evergreen boughs each year for the holiday decor industry.

GFC was thrilled to once again transport a beautiful #Christmas #tree to Georgia's capitol building in Atlanta! This year's tree, a (estimated) 25' red cedar, came from Austell, GA.

It's #NationalFirstRespondersDay, and we'd like to give a shout-out to our GFC crew! Your work in the aftermath of #HurricaneHelene amplified the essential services that GFC provides to Georgians every day, and we couldn't be prouder of your service, dedication and hard work!

From woods to goods, U. S. Senator Tommy Tuberville toured all parts of the supply chain across AL! He learned about the forest product industry from the stump to the mill! We enjoyed having Coach Tuberville visit with many of our members across the state! #ALWoodstoGoods2024

[Rayonier @rayonier]

Thank you, teachers, for your dedication to shaping the next generation! We love welcoming educators into our forests during the Florida Teachers’ Tour each summer, where they learn about our industry & take valuable insights back to their classrooms.

Historically, more people are injured by chainsaws than the storm that caused the initial damage. If you've never used a chainsaw before, storm clean-up isn't the time to learn. https://t.co/FGfo7AFH6x #HurricaneHelene
