Amendment Description	'This Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Amended Form 10-K”) of Rayonier Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 is being filed to amend and restate in their entirety the following items of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 that was filed on February 28, 2014 (the “Initial Form 10-K”): (i) Item 1 of Part I, “Business,” (ii) Item 1A of Part I, “Risk Factors,” (iii) Item 7 of Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;” (iv) Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” (v) Item 9A of Part II, “Controls and Procedures” and (vi) Item 15 of Part IV, “Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules.” On June 27, 2014, the Company spun off its Performance Fibers business to its shareholders as a newly formed publicly traded company named Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. Following the spin-off, new management conducted a review of the Company’s operations and business strategies and identified issues related to its historical timber harvest levels, its estimate of merchantable timber inventory and the effect of such estimate on its calculation of depletion expense in each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014. At the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors, management commenced an internal review of these matters with the assistance of independent counsel, forensic accountants and financial advisers. As a result of the internal review, the Company concluded that it had previously included in its merchantable timber inventory for 2014 disclosed in Part I, Item 1 of the Initial Form 10-K, timber in specially designated parcels located in restricted, environmentally sensitive or economically inaccessible areas, which was incorrect, inconsistent with its definition of merchantable timber inventory, and a significant change from prior years. This Amended Form 10-K clarifies the Company’s current definition of merchantable timber inventory and, as further described in the table set forth below, corrects the disclosure of merchantable timber inventory as of December 31, 2013 in Part I, Item 1 of the Initial Form 10-K, consistent with that definition. In addition, the Company concluded that it understated its depletion expense in cost of goods sold (referred to as “Cost of sales” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income) by approximately $2.0 million in each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, which resulted in a corresponding overstatement of income from continuing operations of $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in those periods. The Company has filed, concurrently with this Amended Form 10-K, amendments to its Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 and restated its interim consolidated financial statements for those periods. Management and Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (“E&Y”), originally concluded that there was not a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, and this conclusion was reflected in the Initial Form 10-K. Subsequent to the Initial Form 10-K and in connection with the restatement discussed above, under the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted a reevaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. After extensive consultation with E&Y and the Company’s forensic accountants, management has now concluded that the Company did not maintain effective control, as of December 31, 2013, over the accounting for depletion expense. Specifically, the Company’s controls related to the preparation and review of the annual depletion calculation which commenced in 2013 were not adequate to ensure that the changes in depletion rate estimates used to recognize depletion expense in 2014 were in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Further, these controls relied, in part, on electronic data from information technology systems with ineffective user access and program change management general controls. Accordingly, management has now concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was ineffective at December 31, 2013 based on the aggregation of these deficiencies. E&Y has reached the same conclusion. As such, both management’s assessment and the report of E&Y on internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 should no longer be relied upon. E&Y has not withdrawn its audit report on the financial statements included in the Initial Form 10-K. However, the Company is filing this Amended Form 10-K to revise Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, in each case, disclosing management’s determination that, as of December 31, 2013, there was a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting. However, the Company has concluded that the existence of this material weakness did not result in a material misstatement of the financial statements included in the Initial Form 10-K. In this regard, the Company determined that errors in depletion expense calculated in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were immaterial and did not require restatement. The cumulative effect of the immaterial errors in depletion expense for these and prior periods are reflected in the Company’s financial statements for the third quarter of 2014 as an out-of-period adjustment. This Amended Form 10-K sets forth the Initial Form 10-K in its entirety; however, pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Amended Form 10-K amends and restates only the following Items of the Initial Form 10-K, and only with respect to the correction of merchantable timber inventory as of December 31, 2013 and matters relating to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting: Part I Item 1. Business Item 1A. Risk Factors Part II Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Part IV Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules With respect to Item 15, we are including for filing with this Amended Form 10-K only (i) certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, (ii) updated consents from E&Y and Deloitte & Touche LLP as Exhibits 23.1 and 23.2, (iii) updated powers of attorney as Exhibit 24, and (iv) various exhibits related to XBRL. Except as otherwise set forth in this Explanatory Note, this Amended Form 10-K does not modify or update other disclosures presented in the Initial Form 10-K. Accordingly, except for the items identified above, this Amended Form 10-K speaks as of February 28, 2014, the date of the Initial Form 10-K, and any forward-looking statements represent management’s views as of the date of the Initial Form 10-K and should not be assumed to be correct as of any date thereafter. This Amended Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the date of the Initial Form 10-K.	'	'

The Company owns or leases approximately 2.6 million acres of timberland and real estate located in the United States and New Zealand. Included in this property is over 0.2 million acres of high value real estate located primarily along the coastal region from Savannah, Georgia to Daytona Beach, Florida, which is referred to as the “coastal corridor.” The Company owns and operates two specialty cellulose fibers mills in the United States. The Company also engages in the trading of logs.
	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. See Note 5 — Segment and Geographical Information for further discussion of our reportable business segments and Note 3 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information on the sale of Wood Products.
	The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Company is generally not required to pay federal income taxes on its U.S. timber harvest earnings and other U.S. REIT operations contingent upon meeting applicable distribution, income, asset, shareholder and other tests. The U.S. timber operations are primarily conducted by the Company’s wholly-owned REIT subsidiaries. Non-REIT qualifying and certain foreign operations, which are subject to corporate-level tax on earnings, are operated by our wholly-owned taxable subsidiary, Rayonier TRS Holdings Inc. (“TRS”). These operations include the Performance Fibers and trading businesses, as well as the Real Estate segment’s entitlement and sale of higher and better use (“HBU”) properties. The Company’s majority owned joint venture, Matariki Forestry Group (“New Zealand JV”), is subject to entity-level tax in New Zealand.
	Forest Resources
	The Company’s Forest Resources segment owns or leases approximately 2.5 million acres of timberlands located in the U.S. and New Zealand. The Forest Resources segment conducts activities that relate to the harvesting of timber in addition to managing timberlands and selling timber and logs to third parties. On April 4, 2013, the Company acquired an additional 39 percent interest in the New Zealand JV, which owns or leases approximately 0.3 million acres of New Zealand timberlands. The acquisition of additional interest brought the Company’s ownership to 65 percent. As a result, 100 percent of the New Zealand JV’s results of operations have been consolidated and included with the Forest Resources segment since the date Rayonier acquired control. Rayonier’s wholly owned subsidiary, Rayonier New Zealand Limited (“RNZ”) continues to serve as the manager of the New Zealand JV forests. See Note 4 — Joint Venture Investment. Also during 2013, the Company sold its 128,000 acres of New York timberlands, completed a non-strategic timberland sale of 21,000 acres in the Southeast and acquired approximately 17,000 acres of U.S. timberlands. In 2012, Forest Resources acquired approximately 88,000 acres of U.S. timberlands. See Note 8 — Timberland Acquisitions for additional information on the timberland acquisitions.
	Real Estate
	Rayonier invests in timberlands seeking to maximize its total return from a full cycle of ownership, including selling portions of its asset base to capture the appreciated value. An increasing portion of Rayonier’s acreage has become more valuable for development, residential, recreational or conservation purposes than for growing timber. The Company’s real estate subsidiary, TerraPointe LLC, owns approximately 0.1 million acres.
	Performance Fibers
	Rayonier is a manufacturer of high-value cellulose fibers with two production facilities in Jesup, Georgia and Fernandina Beach, Florida, which have a combined annual capacity of approximately 675,000 metric tons. These fiber products are sold throughout the world to companies that produce a wide variety of products, including cigarette filters, foods, pharmaceuticals, textiles, electronics and various industrial applications. Approximately 58 percent of Performance Fibers sales are to export customers, primarily in Asia and Europe.
	In 2011, Rayonier began a capital project, the Cellulose Specialties Expansion (“CSE”), to convert a fiber line at the Jesup, Georgia mill from absorbent materials to cellulose specialties. The CSE was completed in 2013 at a total cost of $385 million and added approximately 190,000 metric tons of cellulose specialties capacity, bringing total cellulose specialties capacity to about 675,000 metric tons. In July 2013, the Company restarted the converted production line and began the qualification process for the line’s production with its customers. Production of cellulose specialties is expected to gradually increase to capacity by 2017/2018. The Performance Fibers segment primary products consist of the following:
	Cellulose specialties—Rayonier is a producer of cellulose specialties, most of which are used in dissolving chemical applications that require a highly purified form of cellulose fiber. The Company concentrates on producing the most high-value, technologically-demanding forms of cellulose specialty products, such as cellulose acetate and high purity cellulose ethers, and is a leading supplier of these products.
	Commodity viscose—As a result of the start-up of the CSE project, Rayonier began producing commodity viscose at the Jesup mill. Commodity viscose is primarily sold to producers of viscose staple fibers, which are used in the manufacture of textiles for clothing and other fabrics, and in non-woven applications such as baby wipes, cosmetic and personal wipes, industrial wipes and mattress ticking.
	Absorbent materials—Rayonier has historically been a producer of fibers for absorbent hygiene products. These fibers are typically referred to as fluff fibers and are used as an absorbent medium in products such as disposable baby diapers, feminine hygiene products, incontinence pads, convalescent bed pads, industrial towels and wipes and non-woven fabrics.
	Other
	Rayonier operates log trading businesses in the northwest U.S. and New Zealand.
	Subsequent Event
	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 of the Performance Fibers business to Rayonier shareholders. 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 in mid-2014.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Principles of Consolidation
	The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rayonier and its subsidiaries, in which it has a majority ownership or controlling interest. As of April 2013, the Company held a controlling interest (65 percent) of its New Zealand JV, and, as such, consolidates 100 percent of its results of operations and balance sheet. The Company also records a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements representing the minority ownership interest (35 percent) of the New Zealand JV’s results of operations and equity.
	All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There are risks inherent in estimating and therefore actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities of three months or less. At December 31, 2013 the consolidated cash balance included a one-month time deposit of $45 million which bore interest at 24 basis points. At December 31, 2012 the consolidated cash balance included time deposits totaling $45 million at an average interest of 31 basis points.
	Inventory
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The costs of manufactured performance fibers are determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Other products are valued on an average cost basis. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Physical counts of inventories are taken at least annually. The need for a provision for estimated losses from obsolete, excess or slow-moving inventories is reviewed periodically.
	HBU real estate properties that are expected to be sold within one year are included in inventory, while properties that are expected to be sold after one year are included in “Other assets.”
	Timber
	Timber is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Costs relating to acquiring, planting and growing timber including real estate taxes, lease rental payments, site preparation and direct support costs relating to facilities, vehicles and supplies are capitalized. Payroll costs are capitalized only for time spent on these activities, while interest or any other soft costs aside from those mentioned above are not capitalized. Such accumulated costs attributed to merchantable timber are charged to cost of goods sold (depletion) at the time the timber is harvested or when the underlying timberland is sold based on the relationship of timber sold to the estimated volume of currently merchantable timber. Upon the acquisition of timberland, the Company makes a determination on whether to combine the newly acquired merchantable timber with an existing depletion pool or to create a new, separate pool. This determination is based on the geographic location of the new timber, the customers/markets that will be served and the species mix. If the acquisition is similar, the cost of the acquired timber is combined into an existing depletion pool and a new depletion rate is calculated for the pool. This determination and depletion rate adjustment normally occurs in the quarter following the acquisition, concurrent with the harvesting of the acquired timber.
	Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation
	Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost, including applicable freight, interest, construction and installation costs. Performance Fibers mill assets are depreciated using the units-of-production method. The Company depreciates its non-production Performance Fibers assets, including office, lab and transportation equipment, using the straight-line depreciation method over 3 to 25 years. Buildings and land improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over 15 to 35 years and 5 to 30 years, respectively.
	Gains and losses on the retirement of assets are included in operating income. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets that are held and used is measured by net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets, which is based on a discounted cash flow model. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
	Capitalized Interest
	In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 835-20, Capitalization of Interest, interest from external borrowings is capitalized on major projects with an expected construction period of one year or longer. The interest costs are added to the cost of the underlying basis of the property, plant and equipment and amortized over the useful life of the assets. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the property, plant and equipment balances include capitalized interest of $13.8 million and $8.8 million, respectively.
	Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established 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, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
	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. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The functional currency of the Company’s New Zealand-based operations and its JV investment is the New Zealand dollar. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation gain and losses are recorded as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss), (“AOCI”), within Shareholders’ Equity.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company generally recognizes revenues when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the Company’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
	Revenue from the sale of timber is recorded when title passes to the buyer. Timber sales are either sales of delivered logs or stumpage sales. Stumpage sales in the Atlantic, Gulf States and Northern regions and New Zealand are primarily made on a pay-as-cut basis. Title and risk of loss are transferred when the timber is cut. Sales of delivered logs generally do not require an initial payment and are made to third-party customers on open credit terms. The Company also sells the rights to cut standing timber on specified parcels of land through lump sum timber sale agreements. The Company retains interest in the land, slash products, and the use of the land for recreational and other purposes. Title and risk of loss to the timber pass to the purchaser upon contract execution. Any uncut timber remaining at the end of the contract period reverts to the Company.
	Real estate sales are recorded when title passes, full payment or a minimum down payment of 25 percent is received and full collectibility is assured. If a down payment of less than 25 percent is received at closing or if full collectibility is not reasonably assured, the Company typically records revenue based on the installment method or cost recovery method.
	Revenue from domestic sales of Performance Fibers products is recorded when title passes which, depending on the contract, is either at time of shipment or when the customer receives goods. Foreign sales of Performance Fibers products are recorded when the customer or agent receives the goods and title passes.
	The Company’s Other segment includes log trading sales. Revenue is recorded when the goods are received by the customer and title passes.
	Environmental Costs
	Rayonier expenses environmental costs related to ongoing businesses resulting from current operations. Expenditures that meaningfully extend the life or increase the efficiency of operating assets are capitalized.
	The Company has established liabilities to assess, remediate and monitor sites related to dispositions or discontinued operations from which no current or future benefit is discernible. These obligations are established based on payments over the next 20 years and require significant estimates to determine the proper amount at any point in time. Generally, monitoring expense obligations are fixed once remediation projects are at or near completion. The projected period, from 2014 through 2033, reflects the time in which potential future costs are both estimable and probable. As new information becomes available, these cost estimates are updated and the recorded liabilities are adjusted appropriately. Environmental liabilities are accounted for on an undiscounted basis and are reflected in current and non-current “Liabilities for dispositions and discontinued operations” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Employee Benefit Plans
	The determination of expense and funding requirements for Rayonier’s four defined benefit pension plans, its unfunded excess pension plan and its postretirement health care and life insurance plans are largely based on a number of actuarial assumptions. The key assumptions include discount rate, return on assets, salary increases, health care cost trends, mortality rates, longevity and service lives of employees. See Note 22 — Employee Benefit Plans for assumptions used to determine benefit obligations, the net periodic benefit cost and health care cost trend rates for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Periodic pension and other postretirement expense is included in “Cost of sales” and “Selling and general expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s pension plans were in a net liability position (underfunded) of $71.7 million and $133.8 million, respectively. The estimated amount to be paid in the next 12 months is recorded in “Accrued payroll and benefits” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the remainder recorded as a long-term liability in “Pension and other postretirement benefits.” Changes in the funded status of the Company’s plans are recorded through comprehensive income (loss) in the year in which the changes occur. See Note 22 — Employee Benefit Plans for additional information.
	Income Taxes
	The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured pursuant to tax laws using rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes the effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	In determining the provision for income taxes, the Company computes an annual effective income tax rate based on annual income by legal entity, permanent differences between book and tax, and statutory income tax rates by jurisdiction. Inherent in the effective tax rate is an assessment of the ultimate outcome of uncertain tax positions. The Company adjusts its annual effective tax rate as additional information on outcomes or events becomes available. Discrete items such as taxing authority examination findings or legislative changes are recognized in the period in which they occur.
	The Company’s income tax returns are subject to audit by U.S. federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. In evaluating the tax benefits associated with various tax filing positions, the Company records a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position if it is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the issue. The Company records a liability for an uncertain tax position that does not meet this criterion. The Company adjusts its liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits in the period in which it is determined the issue is settled with the taxing authorities, the statute of limitations expires for the relevant taxing authority to examine the tax position or when new facts or information becomes available. Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits are included in “Uncertain tax positions” and “Other non-current liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 10 — Income Taxes for additional information.
	Reclassifications
	Certain 2012 and 2011 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. See Note 3 — Sale of Wood Products Business for information regarding reclassifications for discontinued operations.
	New or Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	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 6 — 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 15 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(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 the adoption of this standard to have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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 $42.1 million on the sale, which includes a fourth quarter adjustment for the acceleration of pension settlement costs of $0.5 million resulting from a lump sum distribution to Wood Products participants. The gain is included in “Income from discontinued operations, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The operating results and gain on the sale of the Wood Products business are included in “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three years ended December 31, 2013. Additionally, environmental remediation activities related to Southern Wood Piedmont Company are currently classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
	Operating results of the discontinued operations are summarized below:
		2013			2012			2011
	Sales	$	16,968		$	87,510		$	67,682
	Cost of sales and other	(17,102		)	(76,619		)	(68,682		)
	Gain on sale of discontinued operations	63,217			—			—
	Income (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes	63,083			10,891			(1,000		)
	Income tax (expense) benefit	(21,050		)	(3,648		)	331
	Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net	$	42,033		$	7,243		$	(669	)
	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 provided 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 purchased a minimum of 25 percent of the Swainsboro mill chips in 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:
		2013			2012			2011
	Wood chip purchases	$	1,650		$	12,526		$	12,600
	Saw timber procurement services	231			1,125			1,023
	Total intercompany	$	1,881		$	13,651		$	13,623

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 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 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’s wholly owned subsidiary, Rayonier New Zealand Limited (“RNZ”) continues to serve as the manager of the New Zealand JV forests.
	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. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company completed its valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination resulting in the following measurement period adjustments to the provisional amounts since the acquisition date. The effect of these measurement period adjustments has been reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2013.
	Provisional amount of adjustments	Increase/(Decrease)
	Timber and timberlands, net	$	10,348
	Goodwill	10,496
	Deferred tax liabilities	$	20,844
	The fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was $129.4 million, which was $10.5 million below the purchase price of $139.9 million. Accordingly, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets (including deferred taxes) was recorded as goodwill within “Other Assets”on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In a business combination, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized at fair value. As the deferred tax liabilities were not discounted to present value, the book value exceeded the market value resulting in non-core goodwill. The goodwill was assigned to the Forest Resources segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. Based on significant positive cash flow, forecasted financial results and a third party timber valuation, there is no indication of potential impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2013.
	The following table summarizes the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, including the measurement period adjustments discussed above:
		4-Apr-13
	Accounts receivable, net	$	9,777
	Inventory	2,465
	Other current assets	6,767
	Timber and timberlands, net	555,635
	Other assets	11,415
	Total identifiable assets acquired	586,059
	Accounts payable	11,679
	Current maturities of long-term debt	3,843
	Accrued interest	2,038
	Other current liabilities	3,624
	Long-term debt (third party)	196,319
	Long-term debt (shareholders) (a)	125,532
	Other non-current liabilities	20,388
	Total liabilities assumed	363,423
	Net identifiable assets	222,636
	Plus: Goodwill	10,496
	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 year ended December 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 from the acquisition date through December 31, 2013 are as follows:
		Revenue and earnings from
		April 4, 2013 to December 31, 2013
	Sales	$	145,719
	Net Income	5,435

	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 3 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information.
	Forest Resources sales include all activities that relate to the harvesting of timber. Real Estate sales include all property sales, including those designated as 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 CSE project, the Company’s Jesup mill began producing commodity grade products (primarily 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 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 as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income. 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.
	Two customers in the Performance Fibers segment represented approximately 13 percent and 11 percent of the Company’s consolidated sales in 2013, respectively. Four customers in the Performance Fibers segment represented 15 percent, 12 percent, 10 percent, and 10 percent of the Company’s consolidated sales in 2012, respectively. Three customers in the Performance Fibers segment represented 15 percent, 11 percent and 11 percent of the Company’s consolidated sales in 2011, respectively.

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 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 December 31, 2013, the Company’s interest rate contracts hedged 95 percent of the New Zealand JV’s variable rate debt and had maturity dates through January 2020.
	Fuel Hedge Contracts
	The Company uses fuel hedge 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 December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2013:
		Income Statement Location		2013
	Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges:
	Foreign currency exchange contracts	Other comprehensive income (loss)		$	950
		Other operating (income) expense		652
	Foreign currency option contracts	Other comprehensive income (loss)		460
	Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
	Foreign currency exchange contracts	Other operating (income) expense		(1,607		)
	Foreign currency option contracts	Other operating (income) expense		1,147
	Interest rate swaps	Interest and miscellaneous income (expense)		6,085
	Fuel hedge contracts	Cost of sales (benefit)		(255		)
	During the next 12 months, the amount of the December 31, 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 gain of approximately $1.0 million.
	The following table contains the notional amounts of the derivative financial instruments recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2013:

	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established in the Accounting Standards Codification 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 and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at December 31, 2013 and 2012, using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under generally accepted accounting principles:

	(b)	See Note 6 — 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.

	TIMBERLAND ACQUISITIONS
	In four separate transactions throughout 2013, Rayonier purchased 17,000 acres located in Florida, Georgia and Louisiana for $20 million. These acquisitions were funded with cash on hand or through the revolving credit facility and were accounted for as asset purchases.
	In December 2012, the Company acquired approximately 63,000 acres of timberland in Texas for $88 million. The acquisition was funded with $30 million in borrowings on the Company’s existing revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset purchase.
	In three separate transactions throughout 2012, Rayonier purchased 25,000 acres of timberland located in Alabama, Florida and Texas for $19 million. These acquisitions were funded with cash on hand and were accounted for as asset purchases.

	OTHER ASSETS
	Included in Other Assets are non-current prepaid and deferred income taxes, restricted cash, HBU real estate not expected to be sold within the next 12 months, manufacturing and maintenance supplies not expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, and other deferred expenses including debt issuance and capitalized software costs.
	In order to qualify for 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 that the LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to the Company after 180 days and reclassified as available cash. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $68.9 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.
	Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt to which they relate using a method that approximates the interest method. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, capitalized debt issuance costs were $7.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Software costs are capitalized and amortized over a period not exceeding five years using the straight-line method. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, capitalized software costs were $8.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Income Taxes	'
	INCOME TAXES
	In general, only the taxable REIT subsidiaries, whose businesses include the Company’s non-REIT qualified activities and foreign activities, 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. In 2011, the law provided a built-in gains tax holiday. In 2013, the law provided a built-in gains tax holiday for 2012 (retroactive) and 2013 which impacted the Company’s 2013 tax provision. Accordingly, the provision for corporate income taxes relates principally to current and deferred taxes on TRS income and foreign operations.
	Like-Kind Exchanges
	Under current tax law, the built-in gain tax from the sale of REIT property can be deferred and eliminated if sale proceeds from “relinquished” properties are reinvested in similar property consistent with the LKE requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as long as the “replacement” property is owned through the end of the built-in gain period (10-year period which began on January 1, 2004). The LKE requirements do not restrict the Company’s ability to harvest timber on a pay-as-cut basis from such replacement property during the built-in gain period.
	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 during calendar year 2009. The AFMC is a $0.50 per gallon refundable excise 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. Rayonier claimed the AFMC on its original 2009 income tax return. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, management approved exchanges of black liquor gallons previously claimed under the AFMC for the CBPC. The net tax benefit from these exchanges was $18.8 million, $12.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
	Provision for Income Taxes from Continuing Operations
	The (provision for)/benefit from income taxes consisted of the following:
		2013				2012				2011
	Current
	U.S. federal	$	(83,119	)		$	(76,381	)		$	(27,224	)

	Total	$	(49,661	)		$	(84,743	)		$	(30,688	)
	(a)	The increase in the valuation allowance during 2013 was primarily related to Georgia investment tax credits earned on the CSE project, the majority of which are fully reserved.
	A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the actual income tax rate was as follows:
			2013			2012			2011
	U.S. federal statutory income tax rate		35	%		35	%		35	%
	REIT income not subject to federal tax		(11.0	)		(7.3	)		(10.6	)
	Manufacturing deduction		(2.5	)		(2.4	)		—
	Other		2			1			(1.0	)
	Effective tax rate before non-routine items		23.5	%		26.3	%		23.4	%
	Installment note prepayment		(2.4	)		—			(3.6	)
	Built-in gains tax holiday		—			—			(1.9	)
	AFMC for CBPC exchange		(4.9	)		(3.3	)		(1.9	)
	Taxing authority settlements and unrecognized tax benefit adjustments		—			—			(5.3	)
	Gain related to consolidation of New Zealand joint venture		(1.5	)		—			—
	Other		(1.7	)		0.8			(0.7	)
	Income tax rate as reported		13	%		23.8	%		10	%
	The effective tax rate decreased in 2013 from 2012 due to proportionately higher earnings from REIT operations and a benefit associated with the internal transfer of timberland properties. The effective tax rate increased in 2012 from 2011 due to proportionally higher TRS income. The Company’s effective tax rate is below the 35 percent U.S. statutory rate primarily due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT and the AFMC for CBPC exchange.
	Provision for Income Taxes from Discontinued Operations
	During 2013, Rayonier completed the sale of its Wood Products business for $80 million plus a working capital adjustment. Income tax expense related to the Wood Products business that was classified in discontinued operations was $22.0 million ($21.1 million from the gain on sale) and $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the income tax benefit related to Wood Products discontinued operations was $0.3 million. See Note 3 — Sale of Wood Products Business for additional information. Additionally, a tax benefit of $0.9 million related to environmental remediation activities of Southern Wood Piedmont Company was classified as discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Deferred Taxes
	Deferred income taxes result from recording revenues and expenses in different periods for financial reporting versus tax reporting. The nature of the temporary differences and the resulting net deferred tax asset for the two years ended December 31, were as follows:
		2013				2012
	Gross deferred tax assets:

(a)	Fully reserved at December 31, 2013.
In 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded excess tax benefits of $8.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively, related to stock-based compensation. These amounts were credited directly to shareholders’ equity and were not included in the consolidated tax provision.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we recognize the impact of a tax position if a position is “more likely than not” to prevail.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending unrecognized tax benefits for the three years ended December 31 is as follows:
	2013				2012				2011
Balance at January 1,	$	6,580			$	6,580			$	22,580
Decreases related to prior year tax positions	(800		)		—				(16,000		)	(a)
Increases related to prior year tax positions	4,767				—				—
Balance at December 31,	$	10,547			$	6,580			$	6,580
(a)	During 2011, the Company received a final examination report from the IRS regarding its TRS 2009 tax return. As a result, Rayonier reversed the uncertain tax liability recorded in 2009 relating to the taxability of the AFMC and recognized a $16 million tax benefit in the third quarter of 2011.
The unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 included $4.8 million related to an increased domestic production deduction on the Company’s amended 2009 tax return due to the inclusion of the CBPC income. The IRS is currently examining the position and a resolution is expected in 2014. The remaining $5.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits is related to positions on the Company’s 2010 tax return, which is expected to be settled in 2014. As such, it is expected that $10.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits will be reversed in the next 12 months.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would have affected the effective tax rate at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is $6.6 million, $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2013, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would decrease prepaid tax assets are $4.0 million. Prepaid tax assets are reported in “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company records interest (and penalties, if applicable) related to unrecognized tax benefits in non-operating expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded an interest benefit of $0.3 million. The Company has liabilities of approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the payment of interest at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings Per Common Share	'
	EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
	Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Rayonier by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Rayonier by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, performance shares, restricted shares and convertible debt.
	The following table provides details of the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the three years ended December 31:
		2013			2012			2011

	Total	2,302,322		3,113,568			2,057,548
	(a)	The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) matured in October 2012 and $41.5 million of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) were redeemed by the noteholders in September and October 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 remaining 2015 Notes due to offsetting hedges. ASC 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 year ended December 31, 2012. The full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the year ended December 31, 2012, while only a proportional amount based on the length of time the $41.5 million balance was outstanding before the exchange was included for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The warrants sold in conjunction with the 2012 Notes began maturing on January 15, 2013 and matured ratably through March 27, 2013, resulting in the issuance of 2,135,221 shares. 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 $39.10 per share. For further information, see Note 13 — Debt.

	2018	—
	Thereafter	870,499
	Total Debt	$	1,575,283
	(a)	Our Senior Exchangeable Notes maturing in 2015 were discounted by $3.2 million and $6.7 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, but upon maturity the liability will be $131 million.
	(b)	The mortgage notes due in 2017 were recorded at a premium of $2.2 million and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Upon maturity the liability will be $63 million.
	Term Credit Agreement
	In December 2012, the Company entered into a $640 million senior unsecured term credit agreement with banks in the farm credit system, which is a network of cooperatives. The agreement matures in December 2019 and has a delayed draw feature that allows borrowings up to $640 million through December 2017 using a maximum of five advances. The periodic interest rate on the term credit agreement is LIBOR plus 150 basis points, with an unused commitment fee of 15 basis points. The Company receives annual patronage refunds, which are profit distributions made by a cooperative to its member-users based on the quantity or value of business done with the member-user. The Company expects the effective interest rate to approximate LIBOR plus 95 basis points after consideration of the patronage refunds. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $140 million of available borrowings under this facility.
	Revolving Credit Facility
	In April 2011, the Company entered into a five year $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility, replacing the previous $250 million facility which was scheduled to expire in August 2011. The facility had a borrowing rate of LIBOR plus 105 basis points plus a facility fee of 20 basis points. In August 2011, the Company increased the revolving credit facility to $450 million from $300 million. In October 2012, the Company negotiated amendments to the facility providing for improved pricing with a borrowing rate of LIBOR plus 97.5 basis points and a facility fee of 15 basis points. The amended and restated credit agreement also eliminated all requirements for subsidiary guarantors, other than cross-guarantees of the borrowers. The covenants related to the facility were also amended to provide additional borrowing capacity and other changes. The April 2016 expiration date remained unchanged. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $243 million of available borrowings under this facility, net of $2 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit.
	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 4 — Joint Venture Investment for further information.
	Senior Secured Facilities Agreement
	The New Zealand JV is party to a $212 million variable rate Senior Secured Facilities Agreement comprised of two tranches. Tranche A, a $193 million revolving cash advance facility expires September 2016 and Tranche B, a $19 million working capital facility expires September 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 December 31, 2013 the Senior Secured Facilities Agreement had $193 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 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swap contracts at December 31, 2013 were $184 million, or 95 percent of the variable rate debt. The weighted average fixed interest rate resulting from the swaps was 4.9 percent. The interest rate swap contracts have maturities between one and seven years.
	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 December 31, 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 partner in the amount of $30 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 par, the carrying amount is deemed to be the fair value. The entire balance of the shareholder loan remained classified as long-term debt at December 31, 2013 due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance it on a long-term basis.
	$105 Million Secured Mortgage Notes Assumed
	In November 2011, in connection with the acquisition of approximately 250,000 acres of timberlands, the Company assumed notes totaling $105 million, secured by mortgages on certain parcels of the timberlands acquired. The notes bear fixed interest rates of 4.35 percent with original terms of seven years maturing in August 2017. The Company prepaid $21.0 million of principal on the mortgage notes concurrent with the acquisition and an additional $10.5 million during both 2013 and 2012, the maximum amounts allowed without penalty at the respective dates. The notes were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. At December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the debt outstanding was $65.2 million; however, the liability will be $63.0 million at maturity.
	4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes issued August 2009
	In August 2009, TRS issued $172.5 million of 4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015. The notes are guaranteed by Rayonier and are non-callable. The principal will be settled in cash and any excess exchange value will be settled at the option of the Company in either cash or stock of Rayonier. Note holders may convert their notes to common stock of Rayonier, subject to certain provisions including the market price of the stock and the trading price of the convertible notes. The current exchange rate is 30.55 shares per $1,000 principal based on an exchange price of $32.74.
	In separate transactions, TRS and Rayonier purchased exchangeable note hedges and sold warrants, respectively, based on 5,169,653 underlying shares of Rayonier. These transactions had the effect of increasing the conversion premium from 22.5 percent to 46 percent or to $39.10 per share. The exchangeable note hedge and warrant transactions are intended to limit exposure of potential dilution to Rayonier shareholders from note holders who could exchange the notes for Rayonier common shares. On exercise of the hedges, TRS will receive shares of Rayonier common stock equal to the difference between the then market price and the strike price of $32.74. The holders of the warrants will receive net shares from Rayonier if the share price is above $39.10 at maturity of the warrants.
	The purchased hedges and sold warrants are not part of the terms of the notes and will not affect the note holders’ rights. Likewise, the note holders will not have any rights with respect to the hedge or the warrants. The purchased hedges and the sold warrants do not meet the definition of a derivative instrument because they are indexed to the Company’s own stock. They were recorded in shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are not subject to mark-to-market adjustments.
	The $172.5 million 4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 were exchangeable at the option of the holders for all four calendar quarters ending in 2013. Per 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 in a period of 30 consecutive trading days as of the last day of the quarter.
	During the third quarter of 2013, three groups of note holders elected to exercise their right to redeem $41.5 million of the notes. As of December 31, 2013, all three redemptions have settled. In accordance with 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 the early redemption of $4 million.
	Based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ended December 31, 2013, these notes again became exchangeable at the option of the holder for the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2014. The remaining balance of the notes is classified as long-term debt at December 31, 2013 due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance them on a long-term basis.
	3.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes issued October 2007
	In October 2007, TRS issued $300.0 million of 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012. In separate transactions, TRS and Rayonier, purchased an exchangeable note hedge and sold warrants, respectively, based on 8,239,920 underlying shares of Rayonier. The notes matured in October 2012 and the outstanding principal balance of $300.0 million was paid in cash. The exchangeable note hedges also matured and the associated shares were used to pay the excess exchange value of 2,221,056 shares of Rayonier stock. As a result, there was no impact on the number of shares outstanding. 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. For information regarding the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the warrants, refer to Note 11 — Earnings per Common Share.
	The amounts related to convertible debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
		2013			2012
	Liabilities:
	Principal amount of debt
	4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes	$	130,973		$	172,500
	Unamortized discount

	Net carrying amount of debt	$	127,749		$	165,821
	Equity:
	Common stock	$	8,850		$	8,850
	The discount for the 4.50% notes will be amortized through August 2015.
	The amount of interest related to the convertible debt recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three years ended December 31 is as follows:
		2013			2012			2011
Contractual interest coupon
4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes	$	7,271		$	7,763		$	7,763
3.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes	—			8,682			11,250

3.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes	—			5,378			6,487
Total interest expense recognized	$	9,552		$	24,119		$	27,667
The effective interest rate on the liability component of both issues for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 6.21%.
Debt Covenants
In connection with the Company’s $450 million revolving credit facility, covenants must be met, including an interest coverage ratio based on the facility’s definition of EBITDA (“Covenant EBITDA”). Covenant EBITDA consists of earnings from continuing operations before the cumulative effect of accounting changes and any provision for dispositions, income taxes, interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization and the non-cash cost basis of real estate sold. Additionally, debt at subsidiaries (excluding Rayonier Operating Company LLC and TRS, which are borrowers under the agreement) is limited to 15 percent of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. Consolidated Net Tangible Assets is defined as total assets less the sum of total current liabilities and intangible assets.
The term credit agreement, executed in December 2012, contains various covenants customary to credit agreements with borrowers having investment-grade debt ratings. These covenants are substantially identical to those of the credit facility discussed above.
The Company’s $112 million installment note includes covenants related to Rayonier Forest Resources (“RFR”). RFR may not incur additional debt unless, at the time of incurrence, and after giving pro forma effect to the receipt and application of the proceeds of such debt, RFR meets or exceeds a minimum ratio of cash flow to fixed charges. RFR’s ability to make certain quarterly distributions to Rayonier Inc. is limited to an amount equal to RFR’s “available cash,” which consists of its opening cash balance plus proceeds from permitted borrowings.
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 December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. The covenants listed below, which are the most significant financial covenants in effect as of December 31, 2013, are calculated on a trailing 12-month basis:
	Covenant		Actual ratio	Favorable
	Requirement
Covenant EBITDA to consolidated interest expense should not be less than	2.50 to 1		13.31 to 1	10.81
Consolidated funded debt should not exceed 65 percent of consolidated net worth plus the amount of consolidated funded debt	65%		47.50%	17.50%
Subsidiary debt should not exceed 15 percent of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets	15%		6%	9%
RFR cash flow available for fixed charges to RFR fixed charges should not be less than	2.50 to 1		27.44 to 1	24.94
New Zealand JV's minimum interest coverage ratio should not be less than	1.25 to 1		2.08 to 1	0.83
New Zealand JV's leverage ratio of bank debt versus the forest and land valuation should not exceed	40%		31.70%	8.30%
In addition to the financial covenants listed above, the installment note, mortgage notes, senior notes, term credit agreement and revolving credit facility include customary covenants that limit the incurrence of debt, the disposition of assets, and the making of certain payments between RFR and Rayonier, among others. An asset sales covenant in the RFR installment note related agreements requires the Company, subject to certain exceptions, to either reinvest cumulative timberland sale proceeds for individual sales greater than $10 million (the “excess proceeds”) in timberland-related investments or, once the amount of excess proceeds not reinvested exceeds $50 million, to offer the note holders prepayment of the notes ratably in the amount of the excess proceeds. During April 2012, the excess proceeds exceeded the $50 million limit and as a result, repayment of $59.9 million was offered to the note holders. The note holders declined the offer and the excess proceeds were reset to zero. The amount of excess proceeds was $0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	(a)	During the year ended December 31, 2013 the decrease in net foreign currency translation gains was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the New Zealand dollar.
	(b)	Prior to the acquisition of a majority interest in the New Zealand JV, Rayonier recorded its proportionate share of its cash flow hedges as increases or decreases to “Investment in Joint Venture” with corresponding adjustments to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The New Zealand JV’s cash flow hedges have been consolidated as a result of the acquisition, as discussed in Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.
	(c)	The decrease in the unrecognized component of employee benefit plans was due to an actuarial gain resulting from an increase in the discount rate from 3.7 percent as of December 31, 2012 to 4.6 percent as of December 31, 2013, and higher than expected returns on plan assets in 2013.
	(d)	This accumulated other comprehensive income component is included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. See Note 22 — Employee Benefit Plans for additional information.
	The following table presents details of the amounts reclassified in their entirety from AOCI for the year ended December 31, 2013:

Liabilities of Disposal Group, Including Discontinued Operation [Abstract]	'
Liabilities for Dispositions and Discontinued Operations	'
	The Company’s dispositions and discontinued operations include its Port Angeles, Washington former dissolving pulp mill site, which was closed in 1997; Southern Wood Piedmont Company (“SWP”), which ceased operations in 1989 except for investigation and remediation activities; and other miscellaneous assets held for disposition. SWP owns or has liability for nine inactive former wood treating sites that are subject to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and/or other similar federal or state statutes relating to the investigation and remediation of environmentally-impacted sites.
	An analysis of activity in the liabilities for dispositions and discontinued operations for the three years ended December 31, 2013 follows:

	A brief description of each of these sites is as follows:
	Augusta, Georgia — SWP operated a wood treatment plant at this site from 1928 to 1988. The majority of visually contaminated surface soils have been removed, and remediation activities currently consist primarily of a groundwater treatment and recovery system. The site operates under a 10 year hazardous waste permit issued pursuant to RCRA, which expires in 2014. Current cost estimates could change if recovery or discharge volumes increase or decrease significantly, or if changes to current remediation activities are required in the future. Total spending as of December 31, 2013 was $68.3 million. Liabilities are recorded to cover obligations for the estimated remaining assessment, remedial and monitoring activities through 2033.
	Spartanburg, South Carolina — SWP operated a wood treatment plant at this site from 1925 to 1989. Remediation activities include: (1) a recovery system and biological wastewater treatment plant, (2) an ozone-sparging system treating soil and groundwater and (3) an ion-exchange resin system treating groundwater. In 2012, SWP entered into a consent decree with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control which governs future investigatory and assessment activities at the site. Depending on the results of this investigation and assessment, additional remedial actions may be required in the future. Therefore, current cost estimates could change. Total spending as of December 31, 2013 was $40.2 million. Liabilities are recorded to cover obligations for the estimated remaining assessment, remedial and monitoring activities through 2033.
	East Point, Georgia — SWP operated a wood treatment plant at this site from 1908 to 1984. This site operates under a 10 year RCRA hazardous waste permit, which is currently in the renewal process. In 2009, SWP entered into a consent order with the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources which requires that SWP perform certain additional investigatory, analytical and potentially, remedial activity. Therefore, while active remedial measures are currently ongoing, additional remedial measures may be necessary in the future. Total spending as of December 31, 2013 was $21.8 million. Liabilities are recorded to cover obligations for the estimated remaining assessment, remedial and monitoring activities through 2033.
	Baldwin, Florida — SWP operated a wood treatment plant at this site from 1954 to 1987. This site operates under a 10 year hazardous waste permit issued pursuant to RCRA, which expires in 2016. Visually contaminated surface soils have been removed, and current remediation activities primarily consist of a groundwater recovery and treatment system. Investigation and assessment of other potential areas of concern are ongoing in accordance with the facility’s RCRA permit and additional remedial activities may be necessary in the future. Therefore, current cost estimates could change. Total spending as of December 31, 2013 was $21.7 million. Liabilities are recorded to cover obligations for the estimated remaining assessment, remedial and monitoring activities through 2033.
	Port Angeles, Washington — Rayonier operated a dissolving pulp mill at this site from 1930 until 1997. The site and the adjacent marine areas (a portion of Port Angeles harbor) have been in various stages of the assessment process under the Washington Model Toxics Control Act (“MTCA”) since about 2000, and several voluntary interim soil clean-up actions have also been performed during this time. In 2010, Rayonier entered into an agreed order with the Washington Department of Ecology (“Ecology”), under which the MTCA investigatory, assessment and feasibility and alternatives study process will be completed on a set timetable, subject to approval of all reports and studies by Ecology. Upon completion of all work required under the agreed order and negotiation of an approved remedy, additional remedial measures for the site and adjacent marine areas may be necessary in the future. In 2011, an increase in the reserve of $7.1 million was recorded, with $6.5 million of the increase recorded as an expense in “other operating income, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Total spending as of December 31, 2013 was $42.7 million. Liabilities are recorded to cover obligations for the estimated assessment, remediation and monitoring obligations that are deemed probable and estimable at this time.
	The estimated expenditures for environmental investigation, remediation, monitoring and other costs for all of the Company’s dispositions and discontinued operations will be approximately $8 million in 2014 and $7 million in 2015. Such costs will be charged against the established liabilities for dispositions and discontinued operations, which include environmental assessment, remediation and monitoring costs. Management believes established liabilities are sufficient for 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.
	In addition, these prior dispositions and discontinued operations are exposed to the risk of reasonably possible additional losses in excess of the established liabilities. As of December 31, 2013, this amount could range up to $30 million, allocable over several of the applicable sites, and arises from uncertainty over the availability, feasibility or effectiveness of certain remediation technologies, additional or different contamination that may be discovered, development of new or more effective environmental remediation technologies and the exercise of discretion in interpretation of applicable law and regulations by governmental agencies.

	CONTINGENCIES
	Rayonier is engaged in various legal actions, including certain environmental matters that are discussed more fully in Note 17 — Liabilities for Dispositions and Discontinued Operations.
	The Company 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 pending 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 leases certain buildings, machinery and equipment under various operating leases. Total rental expense for operating leases amounted to $4.0 million, $3.9 million and $3.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company also has long-term lease agreements on certain timberlands in the Southern U.S and New Zealand. U.S. leases typically have initial terms of approximately 30 to 65 years, with renewal provisions in some cases. New Zealand timberland lease terms range between 30 and 99 years. Such leases are generally non-cancellable and require minimum annual rental payments. Total expenditures for long-term leases and deeds on timberlands amounted to $10.4 million, $8.0 million and $7.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	At December 31, 2013, the future minimum payments under non-cancellable operating and timberland leases were as follows:

	INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS
	The Rayonier Incentive Stock Plan (“the Stock Plan”) provides for up to 15.8 million shares to be granted for incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and restricted stock units, subject to certain limitations. At December 31, 2013, a total of 6.4 million shares were available for future grants under the Stock Plan. Under the Stock Plan, shares available for issuance are reduced by 1 share for each option or right granted and by 2.27 shares for each performance share, restricted share or restricted stock unit granted. The Company issues new shares of stock upon the exercise of stock options, the granting of restricted stock, and the vesting of performance shares.
	Total stock-based compensation cost recorded in “Selling and general expenses” was $10.8 million, $14.3 million and $16.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0, respectively, was recorded in “Cost of sales.”
	Tax benefits recognized related to stock-based compensation expense for the three years ended December 31, 2013 were $3.1 million, $4.0 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
	Fair Value Calculations by Award
	Restricted Stock
	Restricted stock granted under the Stock Plan generally vests upon completion of a one to three year period. The fair value of each share granted is equal to the share price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2013, there was $1.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company’s outstanding restricted stock. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.
	A summary of the Company’s restricted shares is presented below:

	Performance Share Units
	The Company’s performance share units generally vest upon completion of a three-year period. The number of shares, if any, that are ultimately awarded is contingent upon Rayonier’s total shareholder return versus selected peer group companies. The performance share payout is based on a market condition and as such, the awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model generates the fair value of the award at the grant date, which is then amortized over the vesting period.
	The Stock Plan allows for the cash settlement of the minimum required withholding tax on performance share unit awards. As of December 31, 2013, there was $8.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company’s performance share unit awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

The risk-free rate was based on the 3-year U.S. treasury rate on the date of the award. The dividend yield was not used to calculate fair value as all awards granted after January 1, 2010 receive dividend equivalents. The following chart provides a tabular overview of the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the awards granted for the three years ended December 31, 2013:
		2013			2012			2011
	Expected volatility	23.2	%		36.9	%		51.3	%
	Risk-free rate	0.4	%		0.4	%		1	%
	Non-Qualified Employee Stock Options
	The exercise price of each non-qualified stock option granted under the Stock Plan is equal to the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Under the Stock Plan, the maximum term is ten years from the grant date. Awards vest ratably over three years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility for each grant and is calculated using the historical change in the daily market price of the Company’s common stock over the expected life of the award. The expected life is based on prior exercise behavior. The Company has elected to value each grant in total and recognize the expense for stock options on a straight-line basis over three years.

Employee Benefit Plans	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]	'
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. The Company closed enrollment in its pension plans to salaried employees hired after December 31, 2005, to Fernandina hourly employees hired after April 30, 2006, to Jesup hourly employees hired after March 4, 2009 and to Wood Products hourly employees hired after February 28, 2011. Currently, all 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 Company sold its Wood Products business in March 2013. As a result of the sale, all employees covered by the Wood Products defined benefit pension plan are considered terminated employees. Amendments to the plan in June 2013 resulted in all such employees automatically vesting in the plan. Additionally, a one-time lump sum distribution was offered to terminated Wood Products plan participants or their beneficiaries. Based upon acceptance of that offer by certain participants, $3.0 million was paid from the plan assets during 2013 with a corresponding decrease of $2.8 million in the benefit obligation. As a result of the lump sum distribution, a settlement loss of $0.5 million, net of tax, was recorded in “Income from Discontinued Operations, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as it was directly related to the sale of the Wood Products business. For additional information on the sale of the Wood Products business, see Note 3 — Sale of Wood Products Business.
	During 2013, the Company amended its postretirement medical plan for active and retired hourly employees at the Jesup mill by placing a limit on Rayonier’s contributions toward retiree medical coverage. The change was accounted for as a negative plan amendment, which resulted in a reduction to the retiree medical liability. The net impact of the reduction was an unrecognized gain in other comprehensive income of $3.4 million ($2.2 million, net of tax) which will be amortized over 13.9 years, the average remaining service period of participants. As a result of the plan change, a gain of $0.1 million was included in the Company’s net periodic benefit cost in 2013.
	The following tables set forth the change in the projected benefit obligation and plan assets and reconcile the funded status and the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the pension and postretirement benefit plans for the two years ended December 31:

The following table sets forth the principal assumptions inherent in the determination of benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost of the pension and postretirement benefit plans as of December 31:
	Pension									Postretirement
	2013			2012			2011			2013		2012			2011
Assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31:
Discount rate	4.6	%		3.7	%		4.2	%		4.6	%	3.6	%		4.1	%
Rate of compensation increase	4.6	%		4.6	%		4.5	%		4.5	%	4.5	%		4.5	%
Assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for years ended December 31:
Discount rate	3.7	%		4.2	%		5.25	%		3.6	%	4.1	%		5.1	%
Expected long-term return on plan assets	8.5	%		8.5	%		8.5	%		—		—			—
Rate of compensation increase	4.6	%		4.5	%		4.5	%		4.5	%	4.5	%		4.5	%
At December 31, 2013, the pension plans’ discount rate was 4.60 percent, which closely approximates interest rates on high quality, long-term obligations. Effective December 31, 2013, the expected return on plan assets remained at 8.5 percent, which is based on historical and expected long-term rates of return on broad equity and bond indices and consideration of the actual annualized rate of return. The Company, with the assistance of external consultants, utilizes this information in developing assumptions for returns, and risks and correlation of asset classes, which are then used to establish the asset allocation ranges.
The following table sets forth the assumed health care cost trend rates at December 31:
	Postretirement
	2013			2012
Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year	7	%		7.5	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (ultimate trend rate)	5	%		5	%
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate	2017			2017
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the postretirement benefit plans. The following table shows the effect of a one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trends:
	1 Percent
Effect on:	Increase				Decrease
Total of service and interest cost components	$	253			$	(208	)
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation	1,389				(1,183		)
Investment of Plan Assets
The Company’s pension plans’ asset allocation at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and target allocation ranges by asset category are as follows:
	Percentage of Plan Assets						Target
							Allocation
Asset Category	2013			2012			Range
Domestic equity securities	42	%		41	%		40-45%
International equity securities	26	%		25	%		20-30%
Domestic fixed income securities	25	%		26	%		25-30%
International fixed income securities	4	%		5	%		4-6%
Real estate fund	3	%		3	%		2-4%
Total	100	%		100	%
The Company’s Pension and Savings Plan Committee and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors oversee the pension plans’ investment program which is designed to maximize returns and provide sufficient liquidity to meet plan obligations while maintaining acceptable risk levels. The investment approach emphasizes diversification by allocating the plans’ assets among asset categories and selecting investment managers whose various investment methodologies will be minimally correlative with each other. Investments within the equity categories may include large capitalization, small capitalization and emerging market securities, while the international fixed income portfolio may include emerging markets debt. Pension assets did not include a direct investment in Rayonier common stock at December 31, 2013 or 2012.
Fair Value Measurements
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for definition), the assets of the plans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Fair Value at December 31, 2013											Fair Value at December 31, 2012
Asset Category	Level 1				Level 2				Total			Level 1				Level 2			Total
Domestic equity securities	$	29,293			$	110,401			$	139,694		$	50,653			$	76,251		$	126,904
International equity securities	55,692				31,347				87,039			51,758				27,173			78,931
Domestic fixed income securities	—				85,222				85,222			—				81,045			81,045
International fixed income securities	15,134				—				15,134			15,745				—			15,745
Real estate fund	9,678				—				9,678			10,208				—			10,208
Short-term investments	879				4,259				5,138			29				7,837			7,866
Total	$	110,676			$	231,229			$	341,905		$	128,393			$	192,306		$	320,699
The valuation methodology used for measuring the fair value of these asset categories was as follows:
Level 1 — Net asset value in an observable market.
Level 2 — Assets classified as level two are held in collective trust funds. The net asset value of a collective trust is calculated by determining the fair value of the fund’s underlying assets, deducting its liabilities, and dividing by the units outstanding as of the valuation date. These funds are not publicly traded; however, the unit price calculation is based on observable market inputs of the funds’ underlying assets.
There have been no changes in the methodology used during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Cash Flows
Expected benefit payments for the next ten years are as follows:
	Pension				Postretirement
	Benefits				Benefits
2014	$	19,987			$	1,071
2015	21,070				1,170
2016	22,118				1,259
2017	23,149				1,271
2018	24,191				1,394
2019 - 2023	133,459				6,328
The Company has no mandatory pension contribution requirements in 2014, but may make discretionary contributions.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company provides defined contribution plans to all of its hourly and salaried employees. Company contributions charged to expense for these plans were $4.4 million, $2.7 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Rayonier Hourly and Salaried Defined Contribution Plans include Rayonier common stock with a fair market value of $73.2 million and $89.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
As discussed above, all pension plans are currently closed to new employees. Employees not eligible for the pension plans are immediately eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) plan and receive an enhanced contribution. Company contributions related to this plan enhancement for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $1.1 million, $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rayonier and its subsidiaries, in which it has a majority ownership or controlling interest. As of April 2013, the Company held a controlling interest (65 percent) of its New Zealand JV, and, as such, consolidates 100 percent of its results of operations and balance sheet. The Company also records a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements representing the minority ownership interest (35 percent) of the New Zealand JV’s results of operations and equity.
	All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.
	On April 4, 2013 (the “acquisition date”), the Company acquired an additional 39 percent ownership interest in Matariki Forestry Group , a 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 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.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There are risks inherent in estimating and therefore actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities of three months or less. At December 31, 2013 the consolidated cash balance included a one-month time deposit of $45 million which bore interest at 24 basis points.
Inventory	'
	Inventory
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The costs of manufactured performance fibers are determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Other products are valued on an average cost basis. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Physical counts of inventories are taken at least annually. The need for a provision for estimated losses from obsolete, excess or slow-moving inventories is reviewed periodically.
	HBU real estate properties that are expected to be sold within one year are included in inventory, while properties that are expected to be sold after one year are included in “Other assets.”
Timber	'
	Timber
	Timber is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Costs relating to acquiring, planting and growing timber including real estate taxes, lease rental payments, site preparation and direct support costs relating to facilities, vehicles and supplies are capitalized. Payroll costs are capitalized only for time spent on these activities, while interest or any other soft costs aside from those mentioned above are not capitalized. Such accumulated costs attributed to merchantable timber are charged to cost of goods sold (depletion) at the time the timber is harvested or when the underlying timberland is sold based on the relationship of timber sold to the estimated volume of currently merchantable timber. Upon the acquisition of timberland, the Company makes a determination on whether to combine the newly acquired merchantable timber with an existing depletion pool or to create a new, separate pool. This determination is based on the geographic location of the new timber, the customers/markets that will be served and the species mix. If the acquisition is similar, the cost of the acquired timber is combined into an existing depletion pool and a new depletion rate is calculated for the pool. This determination and depletion rate adjustment normally occurs in the quarter following the acquisition, concurrent with the harvesting of the acquired timber.
Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation	'
	Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation
	Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost, including applicable freight, interest, construction and installation costs. Performance Fibers mill assets are depreciated using the units-of-production method. The Company depreciates its non-production Performance Fibers assets, including office, lab and transportation equipment, using the straight-line depreciation method over 3 to 25 years. Buildings and land improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over 15 to 35 years and 5 to 30 years, respectively.
	Gains and losses on the retirement of assets are included in operating income. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets that are held and used is measured by net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets, which is based on a discounted cash flow model. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Capitalized Interest	'
	Capitalized Interest
	In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 835-20, Capitalization of Interest, interest from external borrowings is capitalized on major projects with an expected construction period of one year or longer. The interest costs are added to the cost of the underlying basis of the property, plant and equipment and amortized over the useful life of the assets.
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established 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, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
	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. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
	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 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.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	A three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established in the Accounting Standards Codification 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.
	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.
	valuation methodology used for measuring the fair value of these asset categories was as follows:
	Level 1 — Net asset value in an observable market.
	Level 2 — Assets classified as level two are held in collective trust funds. The net asset value of a collective trust is calculated by determining the fair value of the fund’s underlying assets, deducting its liabilities, and dividing by the units outstanding as of the valuation date. These funds are not publicly traded; however, the unit price calculation is based on observable market inputs of the funds’ underlying assets.
Foreign Currency Translation	'
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The functional currency of the Company’s New Zealand-based operations and its JV investment is the New Zealand dollar. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation gain and losses are recorded as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss), (“AOCI”), within Shareholders’ Equity.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company generally recognizes revenues when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the Company’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
	Revenue from the sale of timber is recorded when title passes to the buyer. Timber sales are either sales of delivered logs or stumpage sales. Stumpage sales in the Atlantic, Gulf States and Northern regions and New Zealand are primarily made on a pay-as-cut basis. Title and risk of loss are transferred when the timber is cut. Sales of delivered logs generally do not require an initial payment and are made to third-party customers on open credit terms. The Company also sells the rights to cut standing timber on specified parcels of land through lump sum timber sale agreements. The Company retains interest in the land, slash products, and the use of the land for recreational and other purposes. Title and risk of loss to the timber pass to the purchaser upon contract execution. Any uncut timber remaining at the end of the contract period reverts to the Company.
	Real estate sales are recorded when title passes, full payment or a minimum down payment of 25 percent is received and full collectibility is assured. If a down payment of less than 25 percent is received at closing or if full collectibility is not reasonably assured, the Company typically records revenue based on the installment method or cost recovery method.
	Revenue from domestic sales of Performance Fibers products is recorded when title passes which, depending on the contract, is either at time of shipment or when the customer receives goods. Foreign sales of Performance Fibers products are recorded when the customer or agent receives the goods and title passes.
	The Company’s Other segment includes log trading sales. Revenue is recorded when the goods are received by the customer and title passes.
Environmental Costs	'
	Environmental Costs
	Rayonier expenses environmental costs related to ongoing businesses resulting from current operations. Expenditures that meaningfully extend the life or increase the efficiency of operating assets are capitalized.
	The Company has established liabilities to assess, remediate and monitor sites related to dispositions or discontinued operations from which no current or future benefit is discernible. These obligations are established based on payments over the next 20 years and require significant estimates to determine the proper amount at any point in time. Generally, monitoring expense obligations are fixed once remediation projects are at or near completion. The projected period, from 2014 through 2033, reflects the time in which potential future costs are both estimable and probable. As new information becomes available, these cost estimates are updated and the recorded liabilities are adjusted appropriately. Environmental liabilities are accounted for on an undiscounted basis and are reflected in current and non-current “Liabilities for dispositions and discontinued operations” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Employee Benefit Plans	'
	Employee Benefit Plans
	The determination of expense and funding requirements for Rayonier’s four defined benefit pension plans, its unfunded excess pension plan and its postretirement health care and life insurance plans are largely based on a number of actuarial assumptions. The key assumptions include discount rate, return on assets, salary increases, health care cost trends, mortality rates, longevity and service lives of employees. See Note 22 — Employee Benefit Plans for assumptions used to determine benefit obligations, the net periodic benefit cost and health care cost trend rates for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Periodic pension and other postretirement expense is included in “Cost of sales” and “Selling and general expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s pension plans were in a net liability position (underfunded) of $71.7 million and $133.8 million, respectively. The estimated amount to be paid in the next 12 months is recorded in “Accrued payroll and benefits” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the remainder recorded as a long-term liability in “Pension and other postretirement benefits.” Changes in the funded status of the Company’s plans are recorded through comprehensive income (loss) in the year in which the changes occur. See Note 22 — Employee Benefit Plans for additional information.
	o
	At December 31, 2013, the pension plans’ discount rate was 4.60 percent, which closely approximates interest rates on high quality, long-term obligations. Effective December 31, 2013, the expected return on plan assets remained at 8.5 percent, which is based on historical and expected long-term rates of return on broad equity and bond indices and consideration of the actual annualized rate of return. The Company, with the assistance of external consultants, utilizes this information in developing assumptions for returns, and risks and correlation of asset classes, which are then used to establish the asset allocation ranges.
	The following t
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured pursuant to tax laws using rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes the effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	In determining the provision for income taxes, the Company computes an annual effective income tax rate based on annual income by legal entity, permanent differences between book and tax, and statutory income tax rates by jurisdiction. Inherent in the effective tax rate is an assessment of the ultimate outcome of uncertain tax positions. The Company adjusts its annual effective tax rate as additional information on outcomes or events becomes available. Discrete items such as taxing authority examination findings or legislative changes are recognized in the period in which they occur.
	The Company’s income tax returns are subject to audit by U.S. federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. In evaluating the tax benefits associated with various tax filing positions, the Company records a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position if it is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the issue. The Company records a liability for an uncertain tax position that does not meet this criterion. The Company adjusts its liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits in the period in which it is determined the issue is settled with the taxing authorities, the statute of limitations expires for the relevant taxing authority to examine the tax position or when new facts or information becomes available. Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits are included in “Uncertain tax positions” and “Other non-current liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 10 — Income Taxes for additional information.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications
	Certain 2012 and 2011 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. See Note 3 — Sale of Wood Products Business for information regarding reclassifications for discontinued operations.
New or Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	'
	New or Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	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 6 — 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 15 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(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 the adoption of this standard to have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Discontinued Operations	'
	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.
Equity Method Investments	'
	The Company’s operating results for the year ended December 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.
	Prior to the acquisition of a majority interest in the New Zealand JV, Rayonier recorded its proportionate share of its cash flow hedges as increases or decreases to “Investment in Joint Venture” with corresponding adjustments to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Segment Reporting	'
	Operating income as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is equal to segment income. 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 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.
Offsetting Derivatives	'
	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.
Debt Issuance Costs	'
	Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt to which they relate using a method that approximates the interest method.
Software Costs	'
	Software costs are capitalized and amortized over a period not exceeding five years using the straight-line method.
Earnings Per Common Share	'
	Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Rayonier by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Rayonier by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, performance shares, restricted shares and convertible debt.
Incentive Stock Plans	'
	Non-Qualified Employee Stock Options
	The exercise price of each non-qualified stock option granted under the Stock Plan is equal to the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Under the Stock Plan, the maximum term is ten years from the grant date. Awards vest ratably over three years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility for each grant and is calculated using the historical change in the daily market price of the Company’s common stock over the expected life of the award. The expected life is based on prior exercise behavior. The Company has elected to value each grant in total and recognize the expense for stock options on a straight-line basis over three years.
	Performance Share Units
	The Company’s performance share units generally vest upon completion of a three-year period. The number of shares, if any, that are ultimately awarded is contingent upon Rayonier’s total shareholder return versus selected peer group companies. The performance share payout is based on a market condition and as such, the awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model generates the fair value of the award at the grant date, which is then amortized over the vesting period.
	The Stock Plan allows for the cash settlement of the minimum required withholding tax on performance share unit awards. As of December 31, 2013, there was $8.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company’s performance share unit awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
	Restricted Stock
	Restricted stock granted under the Stock Plan generally vests upon completion of a one to three year period. The fair value of each share granted is equal to the share price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2013, there was $1.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company’s outstanding restricted stock. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.
	Expected volatility was estimated using daily returns on the Company’s common stock for the three-year period ending on the grant date. The risk-free rate was based on the 3-year U.S. treasury rate on the date of the award.

		Foreign currency translation gains (a)				New Zealand joint venture cash flow hedges (b)			Unrecognized components of employee benefit plans				Total

	Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	36,914			$	(342	)	$	(82,711	)		$	(46,139	)
	(a)	During the year ended December 31, 2013 the decrease in net foreign currency translation gains was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the New Zealand dollar.
	(b)	Prior to the acquisition of a majority interest in the New Zealand JV, Rayonier recorded its proportionate share of its cash flow hedges as increases or decreases to “Investment in Joint Venture” with corresponding adjustments to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The New Zealand JV’s cash flow hedges have been consolidated as a result of the acquisition, as discussed in Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.
	(c)	The decrease in the unrecognized component of employee benefit plans was due to an actuarial gain resulting from an increase in the discount rate from 3.7 percent as of December 31, 2012 to 4.6 percent as of December 31, 2013, and higher than expected returns on plan assets in 2013.
	(d)	This accumulated other comprehensive income component is included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. See Note 22 — Employee Benefit Plans for additional information.

Subsequent Event, Description	'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 of the Performance Fibers business to Rayonier shareholders. 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 in mid-2014.

The Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) matured in October 2012 and $41.5 million of the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) were redeemed by the noteholders in September and October 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 remaining 2015 Notes due to offsetting hedges. ASC 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 year ended December 31, 2012. The full dilutive effect of the 2015 Notes was included for the year ended December 31, 2012, while only a proportional amount based on the length of time the $41.5 million balance was outstanding before the exchange was included for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Covenant description

'

'

'

'

'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

'

'interest coverage ratio based on the facility’s definition of EBITDA (“Covenant EBITDA”). Covenant EBITDA consists of earnings from continuing operations before the cumulative effect of accounting changes and any provision for dispositions, income taxes, interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization and the non-cash cost basis of real estate sold.

'debt at subsidiaries (excluding Rayonier Operating Company LLC and TRS, which are borrowers under the agreement) is limited to 15 percent of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. Consolidated Net Tangible Assets is defined as total assets less the sum of total current liabilities and intangible assets.

'contains various covenants customary to credit agreements with borrowers having investment-grade debt ratings. These covenants are substantially identical to those of the credit facility

'

'RFR may not incur additional debt unless, at the time of incurrence, and after giving pro forma effect to the receipt and application of the proceeds of such debt, RFR meets or exceeds a minimum ratio of cash flow to fixed charges. RFR’s ability to make certain quarterly distributions to Rayonier Inc. is limited to an amount equal to RFR’s “available cash,” which consists of its opening cash balance plus proceeds from permitted borrowings.

'

'An asset sales covenant in the RFR installment note related agreements requires the Company, subject to certain exceptions, to either reinvest cumulative timberland sale proceeds for individual sales greater than $10 million (the “excess proceeds”) in timberland-related investments or, once the amount of excess proceeds not reinvested exceeds $50 million, to offer the note holders prepayment of the notes ratably in the amount of the excess proceeds.

[1]	During the year ended December 31, 2013 the decrease in net foreign currency translation gains was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the New Zealand dollar.
[2]	Prior to the acquisition of a majority interest in the New Zealand JV, Rayonier recorded its proportionate share of its cash flow hedges as increases or decreases to “Investment in Joint Venture” with corresponding adjustments to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The New Zealand JV’s cash flow hedges have been consolidated as a result of the acquisition, as discussed in Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.
[3]	The decrease in the unrecognized component of employee benefit plans was due to an actuarial gain resulting from an increase in the discount rate from 3.7 percent as of December 31, 2012 to 4.6 percent as of December 31, 2013, and higher than expected returns on plan assets in 2013.
[4]	This accumulated other comprehensive income component is included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. See Note 22 — Employee Benefit Plans for additional information.

'The majority of visually contaminated surface soils have been removed, and remediation activities currently consist primarily of a groundwater treatment and recovery system.

'

'

'Remediation activities include: (1) a recovery system and biological wastewater treatment plant, (2) an ozone-sparging system treating soil and groundwater and (3) an ion-exchange resin system treating groundwater.

'

'

'In 2009, SWP entered into a consent order with the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources which requires that SWP perform certain additional investigatory, analytical and potentially, remedial activity.

'

'

'Visually contaminated surface soils have been removed, and current remediation activities primarily consist of a groundwater recovery and treatment system. Investigation and assessment of other potential areas of concern are ongoing in accordance with the facility’s RCRA permit

'

'

'

'The site and the adjacent marine areas (a portion of Port Angeles harbor) have been in various stages of the assessment process under the Washington Model Toxics Control Act (“MTCA”) since about 2000, and several voluntary interim soil clean-up actions have also been performed during this time. In 2010, Rayonier entered into an agreed order with the Washington Department of Ecology (“Ecology”), under which the MTCA investigatory, assessment and feasibility and alternatives study process will be completed on a set timetable, subject to approval of all reports and studies by Ecology.

'

'

'

'Current cost estimates could change if recovery or discharge volumes increase or decrease significantly, or if changes to current remediation activities are required in the future.

'

'

'

'

'

'Therefore, while active remedial measures are currently ongoing, additional remedial measures may be necessary in the future.

'

'

'additional remedial activities may be necessary in the future. Therefore, current cost estimates could change.

'

'In 2012, SWP entered into a consent decree with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control which governs future investigatory and assessment activities at the site. Depending on the results of this investigation and assessment, additional remedial actions may be required in the future. Therefore, current cost estimates could change.

Valuation Methodology

'

'

'

'

'

'Level 1 — Net asset value in an observable market.

'

'Level 2 — Assets classified as level two are held in collective trust funds. The net asset value of a collective trust is calculated by determining the fair value of the fund’s underlying assets, deducting its liabilities, and dividing by the units outstanding as of the valuation date. These funds are not publicly traded; however, the unit price calculation is based on observable market inputs of the funds’ underlying assets.
