BASIS OF PRESENTATION	'
	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	Basis of Presentation
	The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Rayonier” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the SEC.
	Reclassifications
	Certain 2012 amounts have been reclassified to agree with the current year presentation. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for information regarding reclassifications for discontinued operations.
	New Accounting Standards
	In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The standard requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities that are subject to a master netting agreement or when the right of offset exists. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This pronouncement limits the scope of ASU No. 2011-1. The standards’ disclosure requirements are retrospective and were effective beginning in first quarter 2013. See Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for the disclosures required under this guidance.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This standard requires reporting, in one place, information about reclassifications out of AOCI by component. An entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount is reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified to net income in their entirety, an entity is required to cross-reference to other currently required disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The information required by this standard must be presented in one place, either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements by income statement line item or in a note. See Note 17 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for the disclosures required under this guidance.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This standard requires a parent entity to release a related foreign entity’s cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if its sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income if the transaction results in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity or results in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date. ASU No. 2013-05 will be effective for first quarter 2014. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	Subsequent Events
	The Company evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date but before financial statements were issued, and one subsequent event was identified that warranted disclosure. See Note 16 — Debt for additional information.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]	'
SALE OF WOOD PRODUCTS BUSINESS	'
	SALE OF WOOD PRODUCTS BUSINESS
	On March 1, 2013, Rayonier completed the sale of its Wood Products business (consisting of three lumber mills in Baxley, Swainsboro and Eatonton, Georgia) to International Forest Products Limited (“Interfor”) for $80 million plus a working capital adjustment. The sale is consistent with the Company’s strategic plan to fully position its manufacturing operations in the specialty chemicals sector. Rayonier will not have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Wood Products business. Accordingly, the operating results of the Wood Products business, formerly reported as a separate operating segment, are classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. Certain administrative and general costs historically allocated to the Wood Products segment, which will remain with the Company after the sale, are reported in continuing operations.
	Rayonier recognized an after-tax gain of $42.7 million on the sale. The gain is included in “Income from discontinued operations, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	The following table summarizes the operating results of the Company’s discontinued operations and the related gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, as presented in “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income:

	Income from discontinued operations, net	$	—	$	1,282		$	44,477		$	5,108
	The sale did not meet the “held for sale” criteria prior to the period it was completed. The major classes of Wood Products assets and liabilities included in the sale were as follows:
		1-Mar-13
	Accounts receivable, net	$	4,127
	Inventory	4,270
	Prepaid and other current assets	2,053
	Property, plant and equipment, net	9,990
	Total assets	$	20,440
	Total liabilities	$	596
	Cash flows from discontinued operations are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate. As such, they are included with cash flows from continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, Rayonier will provide Interfor with saw timber procurement services for the three lumber mills through December 31, 2013. Rayonier also contracted with Interfor to purchase wood chips produced at the lumber mills for use at Rayonier’s Jesup mill and market other wood chips produced by the mills to third parties on Interfor’s behalf. The Company will purchase 100 percent of the Baxley mill chips for five years and 25 percent of the Swainsboro mill chips through 2013. The purchase price of these chips will be based on the average price paid by the Company to unrelated third parties.
	Prior to the Wood Products sale, saw timber procurement services for and wood chip purchases from the lumber mills were intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation as follows:
		Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2013		2012			2013			2012
	Wood chip purchases	$	—	$	3,270		$	1,650		$	9,507
	Saw timber procurement services	—		282			223			856

	(a) The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) matured in October 2012 and $31.5 million of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) were redeemed by the noteholders in September 2013; however, no additional shares were issued due to offsetting exchangeable note hedges. Similarly, Rayonier will not issue additional shares upon future exchange or maturity of the 2015 Notes due to offsetting hedges. Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the Notes to be included in dilutive shares if the average stock price for the period exceeds the strike prices, while the assumed conversion of the hedges is excluded since they are anti-dilutive. As such, the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the 2012 Notes was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, while only a proportional amount based on the length of time the $31.5 million balance was outstanding before the exchange was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	The warrants sold in conjunction with the 2012 Notes began maturing on January 15, 2013 and matured ratably through March 27, 2013. As a result, 2,037,303 shares were issued through the end of the first quarter and 97,918 shares were issued in the first week of April. The dilutive impact of these warrants was calculated based on the length of time they were outstanding before settlement. Rayonier will distribute additional shares upon maturity of the warrants associated with the 2015 Notes if the stock price exceeds $39.24 per share. For further information, see Note 11 — Debt in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 16 — Debt of this Form 10-Q.
	(b) The higher shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants associated with the 2012 Notes in the first nine months of 2013 were primarily due to an increase in the average stock price from $45.65 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $56.42, partially offset by a decrease in dilutive shares due to the maturity of the warrants. The shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants decreased in the third quarter of 2013 as there was no dilutive impact from the warrants on the 2012 Notes.

INCOME TAXES	'
	INCOME TAXES
	Rayonier is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). In general, only its taxable REIT subsidiaries, whose businesses include the Company’s non-REIT qualified activities and foreign operations, are subject to corporate income taxes. However, the Company was subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on built-in gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis for property held upon REIT election at January 1, 2004) on taxable sales of such property during calendar years 2004 through 2010. Accordingly, the provision for corporate income taxes relates principally to current and deferred taxes on taxable REIT subsidiaries’ income and foreign operations.
	Alternative Fuel Mixture Credit (“AFMC”) and Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credit (“CBPC”)
	The U.S. Internal Revenue Code allowed two credits for taxpayers that produced and used an alternative fuel in the operation of their business through December 31, 2009. The AFMC is a $.50 per gallon refundable tax credit (which is not taxable), while the CBPC is a $1.01 per gallon credit that is nonrefundable, taxable and has limitations based on an entity’s tax liability. Rayonier produces and uses an alternative fuel (“black liquor”) at its Jesup, Georgia and Fernandina Beach, Florida performance fibers mills, which qualified for both credits. The Company claimed the AFMC on its original 2009 tax return.
	In the first quarter of 2013 management approved the exchange of approximately 120 million gallons of black liquor for the CBPC previously claimed for the AFMC, resulting in a $18.8 million tax benefit. In the third quarter 2012, management approved the exchange of approximately 22 million gallons, bringing the total number of exchange gallons approved year-to date to 82 million for 2012. The impact of the exchanges in 2012 was $2.6 million and $11.7 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. Third quarter 2012 results also reflect the reversal of a $3.4 million interest expense accrual based on IRS guidance stating interest payments are not required for AFMC exchanged for the CBPC, based upon the manner of the Company's original claim. For additional information on the AFMC and CBPC, see Note 8 — Income Taxes in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report.
	Provision for Income Taxes from Continuing Operations
	The Company’s effective tax rate is below the 35 percent U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT. The Company’s effective tax rate in 2013 was lower than 2012 primarily due to recording the additional AFMC exchange, the federal research and experimentation tax credit and a $4.9 million benefit associated with the completion of an internal transfer of properties.
	The table below reconciles the U.S. statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for each period presented (in millions of dollars):

	Provision for Income Taxes from Discontinued Operations
	In the first quarter, Rayonier completed the sale of its Wood Products business for $80 million plus a working capital adjustment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, income tax expense related to discontinued operations was $22.3 million ($21.4 million from the gain on sale) and $2.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, income tax related to discontinued operations was $0.6 million. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information.
	Unrecognized Tax Benefits
	In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company recognizes the impact of a tax position if a position is “more likely than not” to prevail. During third quarter 2013, the Company filed an amended 2009 federal income tax return reflecting an increased domestic production deduction due to the inclusion of the CBPC income. As required, the Company recorded a $4.8 million liability related to this uncertain tax position.

	In order to qualify for like-kind exchange (“LKE”) treatment, the proceeds from real estate sales must be deposited with a third-party intermediary. These proceeds are accounted for as restricted cash until a suitable replacement property is acquired. In the event LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to the Company after 180 days and reclassified as available cash. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $6.6 million and $10.6 million, respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash in Other Assets, which were deposited with an LKE intermediary.

	JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT
	On April 4, 2013 (the “acquisition date”), the Company acquired an additional 39 percent ownership interest in Matariki Forestry Group, a joint venture (“New Zealand JV”) that owns or leases approximately 0.3 million acres of New Zealand timberlands. As a result of the acquisition, Rayonier is a 65 percent owner of the New Zealand JV and 100 percent of the results of its operations subsequent to April 4, 2013 have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, along with 100 percent of the JV’s assets and liabilities at September 30, 2013. The portions of the consolidated financial position and results of operations attributable to the JV’s 35 percent noncontrolling interest are also shown separately. Rayonier New Zealand Limited (“RNZ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rayonier Inc., continues to serve as the manager of the New Zealand JV forests and operates a log trading business.
	The purchase price of the additional interest in the New Zealand JV was $139.9 million, which included $3.3 million of contingent consideration and was financed through our term credit agreement. As the purchase price was in New Zealand dollars, the Company purchased foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk on the purchase price. As a result, the Company recorded a benefit of $1.7 million and received that amount upon maturity of the contracts on April 2, 2013.
	The contingent consideration arrangement required the Company to pay additional consideration to the New Zealand JV’s selling (former) shareholders equal to a multiple of the increase in log prices for a six month period beginning in November 2012. We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement at the acquisition date to be $3.3 million. Fair value was determined using an average of the cost and freight (CFR) selling price of China A-grade 3.8 meter logs. In the second quarter of 2013, the contingent consideration was determined and paid in the amount of $3.3 million.
	Prior to the acquisition date, the Company accounted for its 26 percent interest in the New Zealand JV as an equity method investment. The additional 39 percent interest acquired resulted in the Company obtaining a controlling financial interest in the New Zealand JV and accordingly, the purchase was accounted for as a step-acquisition. Upon consolidation, the Company recognized a $10.1 million deferred gain, which resulted from the original sale of its New Zealand operations to the joint venture in 2005 and a $6 million benefit due to the required fair market value remeasurement of the Company’s equity interest in the New Zealand JV held before the purchase of the additional interest. Both gains are included in the line item “Gain related to consolidation of New Zealand joint venture” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The acquisition-date fair value of the previous equity interest was $93.3 million.
	We have applied estimates and judgments in order to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. In determining fair value we utilized valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow analysis. The assumptions made in performing these valuations include assumptions as to discount rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices. Any significant change in key assumptions may cause the acquisition accounting to be revised.
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
		4-Apr-13
	Accounts receivable, net	$	9,777
	Inventory	2,465
	Other current assets	6,767
	Timber and timberlands, net	545,287

	Net identifiable assets	233,132
	Less: Fair value of equity method investment	(93,253		)
	Purchase price	$	139,879
	(a) Long-term debt included $125.5 million of shareholder loans payable to the noncontrolling interest by the New Zealand JV. Subsequent to the acquisition date, $96.0 million of the noncontrolling interest’s shareholder loans were converted to preferred equity.
	The Company’s operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflect 26 percent of the New Zealand JV’s income prior to the acquisition date, as reported in “Equity in income of New Zealand joint venture” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The amounts of revenue and earnings of the New Zealand JV included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income from the acquisition date to the period ended September 30, 2013 are as follows:
		Revenue and earnings from
		April 4, 2013 to September 30, 2013

	SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
	Rayonier operates in three reportable business segments: Forest Resources, Real Estate and Performance Fibers. Prior to the first quarter of 2013, the Company operated in four reportable business segments, which included Wood Products. In March 2013, the Company sold its Wood Products business and its operations are shown as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information. On April 4, 2013, Rayonier acquired an additional 39 percent interest in the New Zealand JV, bringing its total ownership to 65 percent. As a result, 100 percent of the New Zealand JV’s results of operations have been consolidated and included within the Forest Resources segment since April 4, when the Company acquired control of the entity. Accordingly, the New Zealand JV’s assets and liabilities are fully consolidated at September 30, 2013. See Note 6 — Joint Venture Investment for further information regarding the Company’s joint venture.
	Forest Resources sales include all activities related to the harvesting of timber. Real Estate sales include all property sales, including those designated for higher and better use (“HBU”). The assets of the Real Estate segment include HBU property held by the Company’s real estate subsidiary, TerraPointe LLC.
	The Performance Fibers segment included two major product lines, cellulose specialties and absorbent materials. Beginning in the third quarter of 2013 and in conjunction with the completion of the cellulose specialties expansion (“CSE”) project, the Company’s Jesup mill discontinued producing absorbent material and began producing commodity viscose during the multi-year transition to higher cellulose specialties volume. Commodity viscose is a dissolving wood pulp used primarily in the manufacture of textiles. Commodity Viscose/Other includes commodity viscose and off-grade.
	The Company’s remaining operations include harvesting and selling timber acquired from third parties (log trading). These operations are reported in “Other Operations.” Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates financial performance based on the operating income of the segments.
	Operating income (loss) as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income (loss). Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include gains (losses) from certain asset dispositions, interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax (expense) benefit, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	'
	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
	The Company is exposed to market risk related to potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and fuel prices. The Company’s New Zealand JV uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the financial impact of exposure to these risks.
	Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company records its derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the instruments’ fair value are accounted for based on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction materializes. The ineffective portion of any hedge as well as changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and those which are no longer effective as hedging instruments, are recognized immediately in earnings.
	Foreign Currency Exchange and Option Contracts
	The functional currency of the Company’s New Zealand-based operations and New Zealand JV is the New Zealand dollar. These operations are exposed to foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments which are predominately denominated in US dollars. The Company typically hedges at least 70 percent of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following three months forecasted sales and purchases and 50 percent of the forward twelve months.
	The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black Scholes option pricing model.
	Interest Rate Swaps
	The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the New Zealand JV’s exposure to interest rate movements on its variable rate debt attributable to changes in the New Zealand Bank bill rate. By converting a portion of these borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates the Company has reduced the impact of interest rate changes on its expected future cash outflows. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s interest rate contracts had maturity dates through January 2020.
	Fuel Hedge Contracts
	The Company uses fuel swap contracts to manage its New Zealand JV’s exposure to changes in New Zealand’s domestic diesel prices. The fuel swaps are quoted by domestic banks in New Zealand dollar price terms. As of September 30, 2013 all of the contracts had maturities of less than one year. The fair value of the fuel swap contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract.
	The following table demonstrates the impact of the Company’s derivatives on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013:
				30-Sep-13
		Income Statement Location		Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended

	During the next 12 months, the amount of the September 30, 2013 AOCI balance, net of tax, expected to be reclassified into earnings as a result of the maturation of the Company’s derivative instruments is a loss of approximately $1.5 million.

	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Accounting Standards Codification established a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:
	Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1.
	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
	The following table presents the carrying amount, estimated fair values and categorization under the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, using market information and what management believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under generally accepted accounting principles:
		September 30, 2013									December 31, 2012

	(a)	Restricted cash is recorded in “Other Assets” and represents the proceeds from LKE sales deposited with a third-party intermediary.
	(b)	The fair market value of current maturities of long-term-term debt represents the value of the debt and equity associated with the early redemption of a portion of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015. The Company has a hedge agreement that offsets the $6.9 million equity portion of the current maturity. See Note 16 — Debt for more information regarding the exchange of the notes.
	(c)	See Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for information regarding the Balance Sheet classification of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.
	Rayonier uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
	Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value.
	Debt — The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value.
	Interest rate swap agreements — The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates.
	Foreign currency exchange contracts — The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate.
	Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	Fuel contracts — The fair value of diesel fuel contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract.

	Total financial commitments		$	27,787	$	16,194
	(a)	Approximately $15 million of the standby letters of credit serve as credit support for industrial revenue bonds. The remaining letters of credit support various insurance related agreements, primarily workers’ compensation and pollution liability policy requirements. These letters of credit will expire at various dates during 2013 and 2014 and will be renewed as required.
	(b)	In conjunction with a timberland sale and note monetization in the first quarter of 2004, the Company issued a make-whole agreement pursuant to which it guaranteed $2.3 million of obligations of a special-purpose entity that was established to complete the monetization. At September 30, 2013, the Company has a de minimus liability to reflect the fair market value of its obligation to perform under the make-whole agreement.
	(c)	Rayonier issues surety bonds primarily to secure timber harvesting obligations in the State of Washington and to provide collateral for the Company’s workers’ compensation self-insurance program in that state. These surety bonds expire at various dates during 2014 and are expected to be renewed as required.

COMMITMENTS	'
	COMMITMENTS
	As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Rayonier leases certain buildings, machinery and equipment under various operating leases. Rayonier’s commitments have changed primarily due to the acquisition of a controlling interest in the New Zealand JV and sale of the Wood Products business. The following table shows the increase in the Company’s commitments, as of September 30, 2013:
		Forestry Rights (a)		Forest		Operating Leases (c)		Purchase Obligations (d)
				Leases (b)

		$	49,672	$	62,701	$	23,641	$	43,257
	(a) Forestry rights grant access to the leased land for the purpose of harvesting. The majority of the New Zealand JV’s forestry rights terminate with the harvest of the land’s existing crop and require the land to be left in the cut condition upon termination.
	(b) Forest leases have an average term between 30 and 99 years. Annual rent is indexed to the Consumer Price Index or current market values. A number of these leases require the land to be returned in a fully stocked condition (replanted).
	(c) Operating leases include New Zealand leases on buildings, machinery and equipment under various operating leases and a Jesup mill natural gas transportation lease.
	(d)	Pursuant to the Wood Products purchase and sale agreement, Rayonier contracted with Interfor to purchase wood chips produced at the lumber mills for use at Rayonier’s Jesup mill. Purchase obligations include obligations under this agreement as well as payments expected to be made on derivative financial instruments held in New Zealand.
	The New Zealand JV has a number of Crown Forest Licenses (“CFL”) with the New Zealand government, which are excluded from the table above. The leases extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35 year termination notice from the government. If no termination notice is given, the leases renew automatically each year for a one year term. As of September 30, 2013, the New Zealand JV has three CFL’s under termination notice, with one terminating in 2034 and the remaining two expiring in 2062. The annual license fee is determined based on current market value, with three yearly rent reviews. The total annual license fee on the CFL’s is $2.7 million per year.

	Non-current portion	$	67,125		$	73,590
	The Company is exposed to the risk of reasonably possible additional losses in excess of the established liabilities. As of September 30, 2013, this amount could range up to $29 million, attributable to several of the applicable sites, and arises from uncertainty over the availability, feasibility and effectiveness of certain remediation technologies, additional or different contamination that may be discovered, development of new or more effective environmental remediation technologies, potential changes in applicable law and regulations, and the exercise of discretion in interpretation of applicable law and regulations by governmental agencies.
	The Company believes established liabilities are sufficient for probable costs expected to be incurred over the next 20 years with respect to its dispositions and discontinued operations. Remedial actions for these sites vary, but include on-site (and in certain cases off-site) removal or treatment of contaminated soils and sediments, recovery and treatment/remediation of groundwater, and source remediation and/or control.

	Rayonier is engaged in various legal actions, including certain environmental proceedings, and has been named as a defendant in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. While the Company has procured reasonable and customary insurance covering risks normally occurring in connection with its businesses, it has in certain cases retained some risk through the operation of self-insurance, primarily in the areas of workers’ compensation, property insurance and general liability. These other lawsuits and claims, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
	The Company has four qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering a significant majority of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plans. Currently, all qualified plans are closed to new participants. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change.
	The net pension and postretirement benefit costs that have been recorded are shown in the following tables:

DEBT	'
	DEBT
	The warrants sold in conjunction with the issuance of the 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 began maturing on January 15, 2013 and continued to mature through March 27, 2013. In first and second quarter 2013, 8,313,511 of warrants were settled, resulting in the issuance of 2,135,221 Rayonier common shares.
	As of June 30, 2013, the $172.5 million 4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 became exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2013. According to the indenture, in order for the notes to become exchangeable, the Company’s stock price must exceed 130 percent of the exchange price for 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days as of the last day of the quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, three groups of note holders elected to exercise their right to redeem $41.5 million of the notes. As of September 30, 2013, two redemptions in the amount of $31.5 million have settled. The third redemption of $10 million was settled on October 3, 2013 and classified as short-term debt at September 30, 2013. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments [Debt], the fair value of the debt prior to redemption was compared to its carrying amount and the difference expensed, along with unamortized discount and issuance costs. As a result, Rayonier recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $3 million in the third quarter.
	Based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ended September 30, 2013, these notes again became exchangeable at the option of the holder for the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2013. The remaining balance of the notes is classified as long-term debt at September 30, 2013 due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance them on a long-term basis.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had no net activity on its $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company had $172 million of available borrowings under this facility at September 30, 2013, net of $3 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $200 million on the term credit agreement for general corporate purposes. Additional draws totaling $140 million remain available on the term credit agreement.
	Joint Venture Debt
	On April 4, 2013, Rayonier acquired an additional 39 percent interest in its New Zealand JV, bringing its total ownership to 65 percent and as a result, the New Zealand JV’s debt was consolidated effective on that date. See Note 6 — Joint Venture Investment for further information.
	The New Zealand JV’s debt consisted of the following at September 30, 2013:
		30-Sep-13
	Senior Secured Facilities Agreement
	Revolving Credit Facility due 2016 at variable interest rate of 4.39%	$	194,533
	Working Capital Facility due 2014	—
	Noncontrolling interest shareholder loan at a 0% interest rate	31,717
	Total debt	226,250
	Less: Current maturities of long-term debt	—
	Long-term debt	$	226,250
	Senior Secured Facilities Agreement
	The New Zealand JV is party to a $214 million variable rate Senior Secured Facilities Agreement comprised of two tranches. Tranche A, a $195 million revolving cash advance facility expires September 2016 and Tranche B, a $19 million working capital facility expires July 2014. Although the maximum amounts available under the agreement are denominated in New Zealand dollars, advances on Tranche A are also available in U.S. dollars. This agreement is secured by a Security Trust Deed that provides recourse only to the New Zealand JV’s assets; there is no recourse to Rayonier Inc. or any of its subsidiaries.
	Revolving Credit Facility
	As of September 30, 2013 the Senior Secured Facilities Agreement had $195 million outstanding on Tranche A at 4.39 percent due September 2016. The interest rate is indexed to the 90 day New Zealand Bank bill rate and is generally repriced quarterly. The margin on the index rate fluctuates based on the interest coverage ratio. The New Zealand JV manages these rates through interest rate swaps, as discussed at Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.
	Working Capital Facility
	The $19 million Working Capital Facility is available for short-term operating cash flow needs of the New Zealand JV. This facility holds a variable interest rate indexed to the Official Cash Rate set by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. The margin ranges from 1.17 percent to 1.44 percent based on the interest coverage ratio and the length of time each borrowing is outstanding. At September 30, 2013, there was no outstanding balance on the Working Capital Facility.
	Shareholder Loan
	The shareholder loan is an interest-free loan from the noncontrolling New Zealand JV interest in the amount of $32 million. This loan represents part of the noncontrolling party’s investment in the New Zealand JV. The loan is secured by timberlands owned by the New Zealand JV and is subordinated to the Senior Secured Facilities Agreement. Although Rayonier Inc. is not liable for this loan, the shareholder loan instrument contains features with characteristics of both debt and equity and is therefore required to be classified as debt and consolidated. As the loan is effectively at call, the carrying amount is deemed to be the fair value. The entire balance of the shareholder loan remained classified as long-term debt at September 30, 2013 due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance it on a long-term basis.
	Debt Covenants
	In connection with the New Zealand JV’s Senior Secured Facilities Agreement, covenants must be met, including generation of sufficient cash flows to meet a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1 on a quarterly basis and maintenance of a leverage ratio of bank debt versus the forest and land valuation below the covenant's maximum ratio of 40 percent. At September 30, 2013, the New Zealand JV was in compliance with all its covenants.
	There were no other significant changes to the Company’s outstanding debt as reported in Note 11 — Debt in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	Subsequent Event
	On October 3, 2013, the third settlement of Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 in the amount of $10 million was completed. As a result, Rayonier recorded a $1 million loss on the redemption in the fourth quarter.

Basis of Presentation [Line Items]	'
Reclassifications	'
	Certain 2012 amounts have been reclassified to agree with the current year presentation.
New Accounting Standards	'
	New Accounting Standards
	In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The standard requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities that are subject to a master netting agreement or when the right of offset exists. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This pronouncement limits the scope of ASU No. 2011-1. The standards’ disclosure requirements are retrospective and were effective beginning in first quarter 2013. See Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for the disclosures required under this guidance.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This standard requires reporting, in one place, information about reclassifications out of AOCI by component. An entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount is reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified to net income in their entirety, an entity is required to cross-reference to other currently required disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The information required by this standard must be presented in one place, either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements by income statement line item or in a note. See Note 17 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for the disclosures required under this guidance.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This standard requires a parent entity to release a related foreign entity’s cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if its sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income if the transaction results in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity or results in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date. ASU No. 2013-05 will be effective for first quarter 2014. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Equity Method Investments	'
	The Company’s operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflect 26 percent of the New Zealand JV’s income prior to the acquisition date, as reported in “Equity in income of New Zealand joint venture” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Segment Reporting	'
	Operating income (loss) as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income (loss). Certain income (loss) items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are not allocated to segments. These items, which include gains (losses) from certain asset dispositions, interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax (expense) benefit, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations.
Derivatives	'
	Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company records its derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the instruments’ fair value are accounted for based on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction materializes. The ineffective portion of any hedge as well as changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and those which are no longer effective as hedging instruments, are recognized immediately in earnings.
Derivatives, Offsetting Fair Value Amounts	'
	Derivative financial instruments are presented at their gross fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are not subject to master netting arrangements which would allow the right of offset.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Rayonier uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
	Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value.
	Debt — The fair value of fixed rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value.
	Interest rate swap agreements — The fair value of interest rate contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, for each instrument, at prevailing interest rates.
	Foreign currency exchange contracts — The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate.
	Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a mark-to-market calculation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	Fuel contracts — The fair value of diesel fuel contracts is determined by a mark-to-market valuation which estimates fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract.
Consolidation, Subsidiaries or Other Investments, Consolidated Entities	'
	100 percent of the results of its operations subsequent to April 4, 2013 have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, along with 100 percent of the JV’s assets and liabilities at September 30, 2013. The portions of the consolidated financial position and results of operations attributable to the JV’s 35 percent noncontrolling interest are also shown separately.
	The condensed consolidating financial information below follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are eliminated upon consolidation, and the allocation of certain expenses of Rayonier Inc. incurred for the benefit of its subsidiaries.
Business Combinations Policy	'
	We have applied estimates and judgments in order to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. In determining fair value we utilized valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow analysis. The assumptions made in performing these valuations include assumptions as to discount rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices. Any significant change in key assumptions may cause the acquisition accounting to be revised.

	Assumed conversion of exchangeable note hedges (a)	2,168,254		3,683,936			2,176,414		3,148,423
	Total	2,270,138		3,807,153			2,343,901		3,410,182
	(a) The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) matured in October 2012 and $31.5 million of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) were redeemed by the noteholders in September 2013; however, no additional shares were issued due to offsetting exchangeable note hedges. Similarly, Rayonier will not issue additional shares upon future exchange or maturity of the 2015 Notes due to offsetting hedges. Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the Notes to be included in dilutive shares if the average stock price for the period exceeds the strike prices, while the assumed conversion of the hedges is excluded since they are anti-dilutive. As such, the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the 2012 Notes was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, while only a proportional amount based on the length of time the $31.5 million balance was outstanding before the exchange was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	The warrants sold in conjunction with the 2012 Notes began maturing on January 15, 2013 and matured ratably through March 27, 2013. As a result, 2,037,303 shares were issued through the end of the first quarter and 97,918 shares were issued in the first week of April. The dilutive impact of these warrants was calculated based on the length of time they were outstanding before settlement. Rayonier will distribute additional shares upon maturity of the warrants associated with the 2015 Notes if the stock price exceeds $39.24 per share. For further information, see Note 11 — Debt in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 16 — Debt of this Form 10-Q.
	(b) The higher shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants associated with the 2012 Notes in the first nine months of 2013 were primarily due to an increase in the average stock price from $45.65 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $56.42, partially offset by a decrease in dilutive shares due to the maturity of the warrants. The shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants decreased in the third quarter of 2013 as there was no dilutive impact from the warrants on the 2012 Notes.

[1]	The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) matured in October 2012 and $31.5 million of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) were redeemed by the noteholders in September 2013; however, no additional shares were issued due to offsetting exchangeable note hedges. Similarly, Rayonier will not issue additional shares upon future exchange or maturity of the 2015 Notes due to offsetting hedges. Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the Notes to be included in dilutive shares if the average stock price for the period exceeds the strike prices, while the assumed conversion of the hedges is excluded since they are anti-dilutive. As such, the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the 2012 Notes was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, while only a proportional amount based on the length of time the $31.5 million balance was outstanding before the exchange was included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.The warrants sold in conjunction with the 2012 Notes began maturing on January 15, 2013 and matured ratably through March 27, 2013. As a result, 2,037,303 shares were issued through the end of the first quarter and 97,918 shares were issued in the first week of April. The dilutive impact of these warrants was calculated based on the length of time they were outstanding before settlement. Rayonier will distribute additional shares upon maturity of the warrants associated with the 2015 Notes if the stock price exceeds $39.24 per share. For further information, see Note 11 — Debt in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 16 — Debt of this Form 10-Q
[2]	The higher shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants associated with the 2012 Notes in the first nine months of 2013 were primarily due to an increase in the average stock price from $45.65 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $56.42, partially offset by a decrease in dilutive shares due to the maturity of the warrants. The shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants decreased in the third quarter of 2013 as there was no dilutive impact from the warrants on the 2012 Notes.

Description of Lessee Leasing Arrangements, Operating Leases	'The New Zealand JV has a number of Crown Forest Licenses (“CFL”) with the New Zealand government, which are excluded from the table above. The leases extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35 year termination notice from the government. If no termination notice is given, the leases renew automatically each year for a one year term. As of September 30, 2013, the New Zealand JV has three CFL’s under termination notice, with one terminating in 2034 and the remaining two expiring in 2062. The annual license fee is determined based on current market value, with three yearly rent reviews.

[1]	Operating leases include New Zealand leases on buildings, machinery and equipment under various operating leases and a Jesup mill natural gas transportation lease.
[2]	Pursuant to the Wood Products purchase and sale agreement, Rayonier contracted with Interfor to purchase wood chips produced at the lumber mills for use at Rayonier’s Jesup mill. Purchase obligations include obligations under this agreement as well as payments expected to be made on derivative financial instruments held in New Zealand.
[3]	Forestry rights grant access to the leased land for the purpose of harvesting. The majority of the New Zealand JV’s forestry rights terminate with the harvest of the land’s existing crop and require the land to be left in the cut condition upon termination.
[4]	Forest leases have an average term between 30 and 99 years. Annual rent is indexed to the Consumer Price Index or current market values. A number of these leases require the land to be returned in a fully stocked condition (replanted).
