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, 2013, as filed with the SEC.
	Reclassifications
	Certain 2013 amounts have been reclassified to agree with the current year presentation.
	New Accounting Standards
	In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 became effective first quarter 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The standard requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) or similar carryforward or a tax credit carryforward. If an NOL or tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date or tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. ASU 2013-11 became effective first quarter of 2014. The Company has applied the standard to its income tax balances and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. See Note 4 — Income Taxes for further information.
	Subsequent Events
	The Company evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date but before financial statements were issued, and no subsequent events were identified that warranted disclosure.
	Separation of Performance Fibers Business
	In January 2014, the Company announced its intention to separate the Performance Fibers business from the Forest Resources and Real Estate businesses. The separation will result in two independent, publicly-traded companies by means of a tax-free spin-off to Rayonier shareholders of a newly formed company named Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. which will contain the Performance Fibers segment of Rayonier. The separation, which is subject to a number of conditions including final Board approval, receipt of a favorable private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10, is expected to be completed by mid-2014.

	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. 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 the three months ended March 31, 2013.
	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 three months ended March 31, 2013.
	The following table summarizes the operating results of the Company’s discontinued operations and the related gain for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as presented in “Income from discontinued operations, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income:

	(a) Rayonier will not issue additional shares upon future exchange or maturity of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) due to offsetting hedges. Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the 2015 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 full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014.
	The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) matured in October 2012; however, no additional shares were issued due to offsetting exchangeable note hedges. 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 of 2013. 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 $38.97 per share. For further information, see Note 13 — Debt in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 15 — Debt of this Form 10-Q.
	(b) The shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants decreased in the first quarter of 2014 as there was no dilutive impact from the warrants on the 2012 Notes.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
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 activities, are subject to corporate income taxes. 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 a $70 million tax payment to exchange approximately 120 million gallons of black liquor previously claimed for the AFMC for the CBPC, resulting in a $19 million tax benefit.
	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 the prior year period was lower than 2014 primarily due to recording the above referenced AFMC exchange. Excluding the AFMC for CBPC exchange, the effective tax rate decreased in the first quarter 2014 compared to the prior year period principally due to proportionately higher earnings from REIT operations.
	The table below reconciles the U.S. statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for each period presented (in millions of dollars):
		Three Months Ended March 31,

	Income tax expense as reported	$	8		15.2	%	$	4		4.1	%
	Provision for Income Taxes from Discontinued Operations
	In first quarter 2013, Rayonier completed the sale of its Wood Products business for $80 million plus a working capital adjustment. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, income tax expense related to discontinued operations was $22.3 million ($21.4 million from the gain on sale). See Note 2 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information.
	Unrecognized Tax Benefits
	During the first quarter of 2013, the Company implemented ASU 2013-11, which requires, in certain instances, an unrecognized tax benefit (or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit) to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. As a result, the Company reclassified $3.9 million from an unrecognized tax benefit liability to a reduction to current deferred tax assets at March 31, 2014.

	RESTRICTED DEPOSITS
	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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $23.6 million and $68.9 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	'
	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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The portions of the consolidated financial position and results of operations attributable to the New Zealand 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.
	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 was acquired for $139.9 million and 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. 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.
	The Company’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 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 for the first quarter 2014 are as follows:
		Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
	Sales	$	37,764
	Net Loss	(734		)
	The following represents the pro forma Rayonier consolidated sales and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as if the additional interest in the New Zealand JV had been acquired on January 1, 2012.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION	'
	SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
	Rayonier operates in three reportable business segments: Forest Resources, Real Estate and Performance Fibers. 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 includes two major product lines, cellulose specialties and commodity grade products (primarily viscose). 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.
	Total assets, sales, operating income (loss) and depreciation, depletion and amortization by segment including Corporate were as follows:

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 Accounting Standards Codification 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 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 New Zealand JV 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 March 31, 2014, the Company’s interest rate contracts hedged 88 percent of the New Zealand JV’s variable rate debt and 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 March 31, 2014 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 three months ended March 31, 2014. No derivative balances were consolidated prior to the Company’s acquisition of a controlling interest in the New Zealand JV in the second quarter of 2013.

	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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, using market information and what management believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under generally accepted accounting principles:

	(b)	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.

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 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 March 31, 2014, 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.

	Non-current portion	$	67,456		$	69,543
	These prior dispositions and discontinued operations are exposed to the risk of reasonably possible additional losses in excess of the established liabilities. As of March 31, 2014, this amount could range up to $30 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.
	Management 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.

	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.

	As of December 31, 2013, the 2015 Notes became exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2014. 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 quarter ended March 31, 2014, the note holders did not elect to exercise the exchange option. Based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ended March 31, 2014, these notes again became exchangeable at the option of the holder for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2014. The entire balance of the notes is classified as long-term debt at March 31, 2014 due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance them on a long-term basis.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company made net repayments of $80 million on its unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company had $323 million of available borrowings under this facility at March 31, 2014, net of $2 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the New Zealand JV borrowed $1.8 million on its working capital facility. Additional draws totaling $18.1 million remain available on the facility.
	There were no other significant changes to the Company’s outstanding debt as reported in Note 13 — Debt in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications
	Certain 2013 amounts have been reclassified to agree with the current year presentation.
New Accounting Standards	'
	New Accounting Standards
	In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 became effective first quarter 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The standard requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) or similar carryforward or a tax credit carryforward. If an NOL or tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date or tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. ASU 2013-11 became effective first quarter of 2014. The Company has applied the standard to its income tax balances and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. See Note 4 — Income Taxes for further information.
Equity Method Investments	'
	The Company’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 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 Accounting Standards Codification 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.
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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The portions of the consolidated financial position and results of operations attributable to the New Zealand 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.

	(a) Rayonier will not issue additional shares upon future exchange or maturity of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) due to offsetting hedges. Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the 2015 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 full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014.
	The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) matured in October 2012; however, no additional shares were issued due to offsetting exchangeable note hedges. 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 of 2013. 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 $38.97 per share. For further information, see Note 13 — Debt in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 15 — Debt of this Form 10-Q.

Schedule of Antidilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Earnings Per Share	'
		Three Months Ended March 31,

	Anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share:
	Stock options, performance and restricted shares	731,046			220,701
	Assumed conversion of exchangeable note hedges (a)	1,063,538			2,115,959
	Total	1,794,584			2,336,660
	(a) Rayonier will not issue additional shares upon future exchange or maturity of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) due to offsetting hedges. Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the 2015 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 full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014.
	The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) matured in October 2012; however, no additional shares were issued due to offsetting exchangeable note hedges. 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 of 2013. 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 $38.97 per share. For further information, see Note 13 — Debt in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 15 — Debt of this Form 10-Q.
	(b) The shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants decreased in the first quarter of 2014 as there was no dilutive impact from the warrants on the 2012 Notes.

[1]	Rayonier will not issue additional shares upon future exchange or maturity of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) due to offsetting hedges. Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share requires the assumed conversion of the 2015 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 full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014.The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) matured in October 2012; however, no additional shares were issued due to offsetting exchangeable note hedges. 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 of 2013. 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 $38.97 per share. For further information, see Note 13 — Debt in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 15 — Debt of this Form 10-Q.
[2]	The shares used for the assumed conversion of the warrants decreased in the first quarter of 2014 as there was no dilutive impact from the warrants on the 2012 Notes.

Step Acquisition Description	'The additional 39 percent interest was acquired for $139.9 million and 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.

At March 31, 2014, the Company has a de minimus liability to reflect the fair market value of its obligation to perform under the make-whole agreement.
