Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries and Rayonier, L.P. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Rayonier Inc. and Rayonier, L.P. year-end balance sheet information was derived from audited financial statements not included herein. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect any adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC (the “2020 Form 10-K”). On May 7, 2020, Rayonier Inc. contributed its 100% ownership interest in Rayonier Operating Company LLC (the “Contribution”) to Rayonier, L.P. As a result of the Contribution, Rayonier, L.P. expressly assumed all the obligations of Rayonier Inc. with respect to the outstanding 2022 Notes and Rayonier Inc. agreed to irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guarantee jointly and severally, the obligations of Rayonier, L.P. under the Indenture, including the 2022 Notes. On May 8, 2020, Rayonier, L.P. acquired Pope Resources and became the general partner of Pope Resources. As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned a 97.0% interest in the Operating Partnership, with the remaining 3.0% interest owned by limited partners of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Rayonier Inc. has exclusive control of the day-to-day management of the Operating Partnership. Please see Note 2 - Merger with Pope Resources and Note 24 - Charges for Integration and Restructuring for further information pertaining to the merger. Pursuant to ASC 250, the Contribution was accounted for as a change in reporting entity between entities under common control and applied retrospectively for all periods as if the Contribution had been in effect since inception of common control. As a result, t he effect of the change in reporting entity on Rayonier L.P.’s operating income, net income attributable to Rayonier, L.P. and per unit amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2020, assuming the change in reporting entity occurred on January 1, 2020 are presented below (in thousands, except per unit amounts): Three Months Ended 2020 Operating income — Net income attributable to Rayonier, L.P. (a) ($3,596) Basic earnings per unit attributable to Rayonier, L.P. ($0.03) Diluted earnings per unit attributable to Rayonier, L.P. ($0.03) (a) The effect of the change in net income attributable to Rayonier, L.P. is due to the interest expense and guarantee fees associated with the 2022 Notes. SUMMARY OF UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES For a full description of our other significant accounting policies, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2020 Form 10-K. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) , which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting due to reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During Q2 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity , which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options , that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of the provisions of ASU 2020-06 on our financial statements. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

MERGER WITH POPE RESOURCES

MERGER WITH POPE RESOURCES	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2021
Business Combinations [Abstract]
MERGER WITH POPE RESOURCES	MERGER WITH POPE RESOURCES On May 8, 2020, Rayonier Inc. and Rayonier, L.P. acquired Pope Resources and became the general partner of Pope Resources. Pope Resources was a master limited partnership that primarily owned and managed timberlands in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Pope Resources also managed and co-invested in three private equity timber funds and developed and sold real estate properties. For additional information about the merger, see Note 2 - Merger with Pope Resources in the 2020 Form 10-K. The total purchase price was as follows (in millions): Cash consideration $247,318 Equity consideration 172,640 Redeemable Operating Partnership Unit consideration 106,752 Fair value of Pope Resources units held by us (a) 11,211 Total purchase price $537,921 (a) Based on the closing price of Pope Resources units on the NASDAQ on May 7, 2020. We recognized approximately $2.5 million of merger-related costs that were expensed during first quarter of 2020. See Note 24 — Charges for Integration and Restructuring for descriptions of the components of merger-related costs. The acquisition of Pope Resources has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations , (“ASC 805”). Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination must be recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Recorded fair valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition of Pope Resources is preliminary and will be completed as soon as practicable, but no later than one year after the consummation of the transaction. Pursuant to ASC 805, the financial statements will not be retrospectively adjusted for any provisional amount changes that occur in subsequent periods. Rather, we will recognize any provisional amount adjustments during the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. We will also be required to record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depletion, depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of any change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. As a result of refinements to the preliminary purchase price allocation, higher and better use timberlands increased by approximately $8.2 million. This includes development properties in the town of Port Gamble, Washington, development projects in Gig Harbor, Kingston, and Bremerton, Washington and various other assets. The preliminary estimate of fair value required the use of significant assumptions and estimates. Critical estimates included, but were not limited to, future expected cash flows, including projected revenues and expenses, and the applicable discount rates. These estimates were based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates. The assessment of fair value is preliminary and is based on information that was available to management at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Those estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information related to those estimates during the applicable measurement periods (up to one year from the acquisition date). The most significant open items necessary to complete are related to timberlands, property, plant and equipment, higher and better use timberlands and real estate development investments, long-term debt instruments, environmental liabilities, intangible assets and tax related matters. The preliminary fair value estimates were generally based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , (“ASC 820”) with the exception of certain long-term debt instruments assumed in the merger that can be valued using observable market inputs and are therefore Level 2 measurements. See Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements for further information on the fair value hierarchy. The following summarizes the fair value methodology utilized in our preliminary fair value estimates for significant assets and liabilities: Income Approach — Estimates fair value for an asset based on the present value of cash flow projected to be generated by the asset. Projected cash flows are discounted at rates of return that reflect the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money. This approach was primarily used to value acquired timber in both our Pacific Northwest and Timber Funds segment. Cost Approach — Estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility. This approach was primarily used for property and equipment. Market Approach — Estimates fair value for an asset based on values of recent comparable transactions. This approach was primarily used to value timberlands, higher and better use timberlands and real estate developments investments, certain land and building assets and long-term debt instruments. The preliminary allocation of purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on preliminary estimates of fair value as of May 8, 2020, and is as follows (in thousands): Core Timberlands Timber Funds Total Timberland and Real Estate Business Cash $7,380 $8,870 $16,250 Accounts receivable 2,459 1,787 4,246 Other current assets 703 260 963 Timber and Timberlands 507,526 432,500 940,026 Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments 34,748 — 34,748 Property, plant and equipment 11,616 — 11,616 Other assets 3,736 269 4,005 Total identifiable assets acquired $568,168 $443,686 $1,011,854 Accounts payable 274 293 567 Current maturities of long-term debt — 25,084 25,084 Accrued interest 244 275 519 Other current liabilities 9,038 2,080 11,118 Long-term debt 53,502 35,759 89,261 Long-term environmental liabilities 10,748 — 10,748 Other non-current liabilities (a) 2,616 — 2,616 Total liabilities assumed $76,422 $63,491 $139,913 Net identifiable assets $491,746 $380,195 $871,941 Less: noncontrolling interests (3,816) (330,204) (334,020) Total net assets acquired $487,930 $49,991 $537,921 (a) Other non-current liabilities includes a $2.6 million deferred income tax liability resulting from the preliminary fair value adjustment to Pope Resources’ assets and liabilities. These estimated fair values are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments, which could be material. We have not identified any material unrecorded pre-merger contingencies where the related asset, liability or impairment is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Our valuations will be finalized when certain information arranged to be obtained has been received and our review of that information has been completed. Prior to the finalization of the purchase price allocation, if information becomes available that would indicate it is probable that such events had occurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, such items will be included in the final purchase price allocation. Pursuant to ASC 805, unaudited supplemental pro forma results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, assuming the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2020, are presented below (in thousands, except per share and unit amounts): Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Sales $283,500 Net income attributable to Rayonier Inc. $18,398 Basic earnings per share attributable to Rayonier Inc. $0.13 Diluted earnings per share attributable to Rayonier Inc. $0.13 Net income attributable to Rayonier, L.P. $18,998 Basic earnings per unit attributable to Rayonier, L.P. $0.13 Diluted earnings per unit attributable to Rayonier, L.P. $0.13 The unaudited pro forma results include certain pro forma adjustments to net earnings that were directly attributable to the acquisition, assuming the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2020, including the following: • additional depletion expense that would have been recognized relating to the basis increase in the acquired Timber and Timberlands; • adjustment to interest expense to reflect the removal of Pope Resources debt and the additional borrowings we incurred in conjunction with the acquisition; and • a reduction in expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $7.7 million for acquisition-related transaction costs. Pro forma data may not be indicative of the results that would have been obtained had these events occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION	SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. We evaluate financial performance based on segment operating income (loss) and Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Asset information is not reported by segment, as we do not produce asset information by segment internally. 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 interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax expense, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations and are included under “unallocated interest expense and other.” The following tables summarize the segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020: Three Months Ended March 31, SALES 2021 2020 Southern Timber $51,677 $52,982 Pacific Northwest Timber 41,522 31,075 New Zealand Timber 57,579 37,538 Timber Funds (a) 14,939 — Real Estate (b) 10,504 118,564 Trading 16,665 18,984 Intersegment Eliminations (c) (1,439) (13) Total $191,447 $259,130 (a) The three months ended March 31, 2021 includes $11.9 million of sales attributable to noncontrolling interests in Timber Funds. (b) The three months ended March 31, 2020 includes $116.0 million from a Large Disposition. Large Dispositions are defined as transactions involving the sale of timberland that exceed $20 million in size and do not have a demonstrable premium relative to timberland value. (c) Primarily consists of the elimination of timberland investment management fees paid to us by the timber funds which are initially recognized as sales and cost of sales within the Timber Funds segment, as well as log marketing fees paid to our Trading segment from our Southern Timber and Pacific Northwest Timber segments for marketing log export sales.

REVENUE

REVENUE	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2021
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE	REVENUE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS We recognize revenue when control of promised goods or services (“performance obligations”) is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). We generally satisfy performance obligations within a year of entering into a contract and therefore have applied the disclosure exemption found under ASC 606-10-50-14. Unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2021 are primarily due to advances on stumpage contracts and unearned license revenue. These performance obligations are expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months. We generally collect payment within a year of satisfying performance obligations and therefore have elected not to adjust revenues for a financing component. CONTRACT BALANCES The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections results in accounts receivable and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounts receivable are recorded when we have an unconditional right to consideration for completed performance under the contract. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) we perform under the contract. The following table summarizes revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each year: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Revenue recognized from contract liability balance at the beginning of the year (a) $5,920 $6,425 (a) Revenue recognized was primarily from hunting licenses and the use of advances on pay-as-cut timber sales.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS	NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES Matariki Forestry Group We maintain a 77% controlling financial interest in Matariki Forestry Group (the “New Zealand subsidiary”), a joint venture that owns or leases approximately 417,000 legal acres of New Zealand timberland. Accordingly, we consolidate the New Zealand subsidiary’s balance sheet and results of operations. The portions of the consolidated financial position and results of operations attributable to the New Zealand subsidiary’s 23% noncontrolling interests are reflected as an adjustment to income in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under the caption “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates.” Rayonier New Zealand Limited (“RNZ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, serves as the manager of the New Zealand subsidiary. The following table sets forth the income attributable to the New Zealand subsidiary’s noncontrolling interests: Three Months Ended 2021 2020 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the New Zealand subsidiary $2,638 $567 ORM Timber Fund II, Inc. (Fund II), ORM Timber Fund III LLC (Fund III), and ORM Timber Fund IV LLC. (Fund IV) (Collectively, the “Funds”) We are the manager of three private equity timber funds, Fund II, Fund III, and Fund IV, and maintain ownership interests in the Funds of 20%, 5%, and 15%, respectively. Based upon an analysis under the variable interest entity guidance, we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Funds’ economic success. Therefore, we are considered the primary beneficiary and are required under ASC 810 — Consolidation to consolidate the Funds. Income attributed to third-party investors is reflected as an adjustment to income in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under the caption “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates.” The following table sets forth the income attributable to the Funds’ noncontrolling interests: Three Months Ended 2021 2020 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Funds $1,076 — Prior to the merger with Pope Resources, the Funds were formed by ORM LLC for the purpose of generating a return on investment through the acquisition, management, value enhancement and sale of timberland properties. Each Fund is organized to operate for a specified term from the end of its respective investment period: 10 years for each of Fund II and Fund III, and 15 years for Fund IV. Fund II is scheduled to terminate in March 2023, Fund III is scheduled to terminate in December 2025 and Fund IV is scheduled to terminate in January 2035. The obligations of each of the Funds do not have any recourse to the Company or the Operating Partnership. Ferncliff Investors We maintain an ownership interest in Ferncliff Investors, a real estate joint venture entity. In 2017, Ferncliff Management and Ferncliff Investors were formed for the purpose of raising capital from third parties to invest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture entity, Bainbridge Landing LLC, which is developing a five-acre parcel on Bainbridge Island, Washington into a multi-family community containing apartments and townhomes. Ferncliff Management is the manager and 33.33% owner of Ferncliff Investors, with the remaining ownership interest in Ferncliff Investors held by third-party investors. Ferncliff Investors holds a 50% interest in Bainbridge Landing LLC, the joint venture entity that owns and is developing the property. Based upon an analysis under the variable interest entity guidance, we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic success. Therefore, we are considered the primary beneficiary and are required under ASC 810 — Consolidation to consolidate Ferncliff Investors. The obligations of Ferncliff Investors do not have any recourse to the Company or the Operating Partnership. Bainbridge Landing LLC is considered a voting interests entity. Ferncliff Investors accounts for its interest in the joint venture entity under the equity method because neither it nor the other member can exercise control over Bainbridge Landing LLC. The Ferncliff Investors joint venture agreement provides for liquidation rights and distribution priorities that are disproportionate to member’s ownership interest. Due to the complex nature of cash distributions to members, net income of the joint venture is allocated to members, including us, using the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method. Under the HLBV method, Ferncliff Investors income or loss is allocated to the members based on the period change in each member’s claim on the book value of net assets, excluding capital contributions and distributions made during the period. The following table sets forth the income attributable to Ferncliff Investors’ noncontrolling interests: Three Months Ended 2021 2020 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in Ferncliff Investors $129 — NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the third-party ownership of Redeemable Operating Partnership Units. Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is computed by applying the weighted average Redeemable Operating Partnership Units outstanding during the period as a percentage of the weighted average total units outstanding to the Operating Partnership’s net income for the period. If a noncontrolling unitholder redeems a unit for a registered common share of Rayonier or cash, the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership will be reduced and the Company’s share in the Operating Partnership will be increased by the fair value of each security at the time of redemption. The following table sets forth the Company’s noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership: Three Months Ended Beginning noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership $130,121 Adjustment of noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership 11,867 Conversions of Redeemable Operating Partnership Units to Common Shares (4,715) Net Income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership 341 Other Comprehensive Income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership 1,531 Distributions to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership (1,155) Total noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership $137,990

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES We are exposed to market risk related to potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We use 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, we record our derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the instruments’ fair value are accounted for based on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction materializes. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify for net investment hedge accounting are recorded as a component of AOCI and will not be reclassified into earnings until the investment is partially or completely liquidated. The 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 Rayonier New Zealand Limited, and the New Zealand subsidiary is the New Zealand dollar. The New Zealand subsidiary is exposed to foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments which are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. The New Zealand subsidiary typically hedges 50% to 90% of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following twelve months forecasted sales and purchases, less distributions, and up to 75% of the forward 12 to 18 months. Additionally, the New Zealand subsidiary will occasionally hedge up to 50% of its estimated foreign currency exposure with respect to the following 18 to 48 months forecasted sales and purchases, less distributions, when the New Zealand dollar is at a cyclical low versus the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency exposure from the New Zealand subsidiary’s trading operations is typically hedged based on the following three months forecasted sales and purchases. As of March 31, 2021, foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts had maturity dates through September 2022 and August 2021, respectively. Foreign currency exchange and option contracts hedging foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. We may de-designate these cash flow hedge relationships in advance or at the occurrence of the forecasted transaction. The portion of gains or losses on the derivative instrument previously accumulated in other comprehensive loss for de-designated hedges remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Changes in the value of derivative instruments after de-designation are recorded in earnings. INTEREST RATE SWAPS We are exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on our variable-rate Term Credit Agreement, Incremental Term Loan Agreement and 2020 Incremental Term Loan Facility and use variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure. For these derivative instruments, we report the gains/losses from the fluctuations in the fair market value of the hedges in AOCI and reclassify them to earnings as interest expense in the same period in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The following table contains information on the outstanding interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2021: Outstanding Interest Rate Swaps (a) Date Entered Into Term Notional Amount Related Debt Facility Fixed Rate of Swap (b) Bank Margin on Debt Total Effective Interest Rate (c) August 2015 9 years $170,000 Term Credit Agreement 2.20 % 1.60 % 3.80 % August 2015 9 years 180,000 Term Credit Agreement 2.35 % 1.60 % 3.95 % April 2016 10 years 100,000 Incremental Term Loan 1.60 % 1.90 % 3.50 % April 2016 10 years 100,000 Incremental Term Loan 1.60 % 1.90 % 3.50 % July 2016 10 years 100,000 Incremental Term Loan 1.26 % 1.90 % 3.16 % June 2020 10 years 250,000 2020 Incremental Term Loan 1.10 % 1.85 % 2.95 % (a) All interest rate swaps have been designated as interest rate cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. (b) The interest rate swap entered in June 2020, was an off-market derivative, meaning it contained an embedded financing element, which the counterparties recovered through an incremental charge in the fixed rate over what would have been charged for an at-market swap. (c) Rate is before estimated patronage payments. TREASURY LOCKS During the first quarter of 2020, we entered into three treasury lock agreements, which were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. Prior to expiration, we de-designated and settled the treasury locks by converting them into interest rate swap lock agreements (discussed below). To the extent we de-designate or terminate a cash flow hedging relationship and the associated hedged item continues to exist, any unrealized gain or loss of the cash flow hedge at the time of de-designation remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is amortized using the straight-line method through interest expense over the remaining life of the hedged item. As of March 31, 2021, there was $18.8 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in connection with the settled treasury locks which will be reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the anticipated issued debt. For additional information regarding the expired treasury lock agreements, see Note 16 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in our 2020 Form 10-K. INTEREST RATE SWAP LOCKS Upon de-designation, we converted the above treasury lock agreements to interest rate swap lock agreements, which were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. Prior to expiration, we de-designated and partially cash settled $11.1 million of the interest rate swap locks and converted them into interest rate swap agreements. To the extent we de-designate or terminate a cash flow hedging relationship and the associated hedged item continues to exist, any unrealized gain or loss of the cash flow hedge at the time of de-designation remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is amortized using the straight-line method through interest expense over the remaining life of the hedged item. As of March 31, 2021, there was $1.3 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in connection with settled interest rate swap locks which will be reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the anticipated issued debt. For additional information regarding the expired interest rate swap lock agreements, see Note 16 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in our 2020 Form 10-K. FORWARD-STARTING INTEREST RATE SWAPS We are exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on anticipated debt issuances and use forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates from the trade date through the anticipated issuance date. For these derivative instruments, we report the gains/losses from the fluctuations in the fair market value of the hedges in AOCI and reclassify them to earnings as interest expense in the same period in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The following table contains information on the outstanding forward-starting interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2021: Outstanding Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps (a) Date Entered Into Term Notional Amount Fixed Rate of Swap Related Debt Facility Forward Date Maximum Period Ending for Forecasted Issuance Date February 2020 10 years $325,000 1.40 % Anticipated refinancing of Senior Notes due 2022 April 2022 April 2022 March 2020 4 years 100,000 0.88 % Term Credit Agreement August 2024 N/A May 2020 4 years 50,000 0.74 % Term Credit Agreement August 2024 N/A (a) All forward-starting interest rate swaps have been designated as interest rate cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. CARBON OPTIONS The New Zealand subsidiary enters into carbon options from time to time to sell carbon assets at certain prices. Changes in fair value of the carbon option contracts are recorded in “Interest and other miscellaneous expense, net” as the contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As of March 31, 2021, all existing carbon option contracts have expired. The following tables demonstrate the impact, gross of tax, of our derivatives on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020: Three Months Ended Income Statement Location 2021 2020 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges: Foreign currency exchange contracts Other comprehensive income (loss) ($2,852) ($5,480) Foreign currency option contracts Other comprehensive income (loss) (929) (1,149) Interest rate swaps Other comprehensive income (loss) 28,512 (39,450) Interest expense 3,438 452 Treasury locks Other comprehensive income (loss) — (20,846) Interest expense 521 — Interest rate swap locks Other comprehensive income (loss) — 854 Interest expense 35 — Forward-starting interest rate swaps Other comprehensive income (loss) 31,219 (19,710) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Carbon option contracts Interest and other miscellaneous income, net — 549 During the next 12 months, the amount of the March 31, 2021 AOCI balance, net of tax, expected to be reclassified into earnings as a result of the maturation of our derivative instruments is a gain of approximately $2.6 million.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	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 our financial instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, using market information and what we believe to be appropriate valuation methodologies under GAAP: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Asset (Liability) (a) Carrying Fair Value Carrying Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 1 Level 2 Cash and cash equivalents, excluding Timber Funds $77,946 $77,946 — $80,454 $80,454 — Cash and cash equivalents, Timber Funds 4,674 4,674 — 4,053 4,053 — Restricted cash (b) 475 475 — 2,975 2,975 — Long-term debt, excluding Timber Funds (c) (1,299,433) — (1,304,371) (1,300,336) — (1,313,631) Long-term debt, Timber Funds (c) (59,967) — (60,207) (60,179) — (60,474) Interest rate swaps (d) (19,356) — (19,356) (51,580) — (51,580) Forward-starting interest rate swaps (d) 18,690 — 18,690 (12,529) — (12,529) Foreign currency exchange contracts (d) 3,166 — 3,166 6,018 — 6,018 Foreign currency option contracts (d) 585 — 585 1,515 — 1,515 Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership (e) 137,990 137,990 — 130,121 130,121 — (a) We did not have Level 3 assets or liabilities at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. (b) Restricted cash represents cash held in escrow. See Note 22 — Restricted Cash for additional information. (c) The carrying amount of long-term debt is presented net of capitalized debt costs on non-revolving debt. See Note 9 — Debt for additional information. (d) See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for information regarding the Consolidated Balance Sheets classification of our derivative financial instruments. (e) Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership is neither an asset or liability and is classified as temporary equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. This relates to the ownership of Rayonier, L.P. units by various individuals and entities other than the Company. We use the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of our 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. Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership — The fair value of noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is determined based on the period-end closing price of Rayonier Inc. common shares.

CONTINGENCIES	CONTINGENCIESWe have been named as a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. While we have procured reasonable and customary insurance covering risks normally occurring in connection with our businesses, we have in certain cases retained some risk through the operation of large deductible insurance plans, primarily in the areas of executive risk, property, automobile and general liability. These pending lawsuits and claims, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOU

ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE LIABILITIES	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2021
Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]
ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE LIABILITIES	ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE LIABILITIES Various federal and state environmental laws in the states in which we operate place cleanup or restoration liability on the current and former owners of affected real estate. These laws are often a source of “strict liability,” meaning that an owner or operator need not necessarily have caused, or even been aware of, the release of contaminated materials. Similarly, there are certain environmental laws that allow state, federal, and tribal trustees (collectively, the “Trustees”) to bring suit against property owners to recover damage for injuries to natural resources. Like the liability that attaches to current property owners in the cleanup context, liability for natural resource damages (“NRD”) can attach to a property simply because an injury to natural resources resulted from releases of contaminated materials on or from the owner’s property, regardless of culpability for the release. For additional information, see Note 13 - Environmental and Natural Resource Damage Liabilities in the 2020 Form 10-K. Changes in environmental and NRD liabilities from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 are shown below: Port Gamble, WA Non-current portion at December 31, 2020 $10,615 Plus: Current portion 1,026 Total Balance at December 31, 2020 11,641 Expenditures (111) Total Balance at March 31, 2021 11,530 Less: Current portion (930) Non-current portion at March 31, 2021 $10,600 These estimates were based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates. See Note 2 - Merger with Pope Resources for information regarding our preliminary estimates of fair value. It is expected that the upland mill site cleanup and NRD restoration will occur over the next two Note 12 - Commitments .

Real Estate [Abstract]
HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS	HIGHER AND BETTER USE TIMBERLANDS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS We continuously assess potential alternative uses of our timberlands, as some properties may become more valuable for development, residential, recreation or other purposes. We periodically transfer, via a sale or contribution from the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) entities to taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), higher and better use (“HBU”) timberlands to enable land-use entitlement, development or marketing activities. We also acquire HBU properties in connection with timberland acquisitions. These properties are managed as timberlands until sold or developed. While the majority of HBU sales involve rural and recreational land, we also selectively pursue various land-use entitlements on certain properties for residential, commercial and industrial development in order to enhance the long-term value of such properties. For selected development properties, we also invest in targeted infrastructure improvements, such as roadways and utilities, to accelerate the marketability and improve the value of such properties. Changes in higher and better use timberlands and real estate development investments from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 are shown below: Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments Land and Timber Development Investments Total Non-current portion at December 31, 2020 $79,901 $28,617 $108,518 Plus: Current portion (a) 212 6,544 6,756 Total Balance at December 31, 2020 80,113 35,161 115,274 Non-cash cost of land and improved development (549) (232) (781) Amortization of parcel real estate development investments — (139) (139) Timber depletion from harvesting activities and basis of timber sold in real estate sales (243) — (243) Capitalized real estate development investments (b) — 5,291 5,291 Capital expenditures (silviculture) 96 — 96 Intersegment transfers 1,082 — 1,082 Purchase price allocation adjustment (c) 8,238 — 8,238 Total Balance at March 31, 2021 88,737 40,081 128,818 Less: Current portion (a) (811) (16,692) (17,503) Non-current portion at March 31, 2021 $87,926 $23,389 $111,315 (a) The current portion of Higher and Better Use Timberlands and Real Estate Development Investments is recorded in Inventory. See Note 17 — Inventory for additional information. (b) Capitalized real estate development investments include $0.1 million of capitalized interest and $2.3 million of parcel real estate development investments. Parcel real estate development investments represent investments made for specific lots and/or commercial parcels that are currently under contract or expected to be ready for market within a year. (c) Reflects measurement period adjustments on HBU properties acquired in the merger with Pope Resources. The estimated fair value of HBU properties acquired in the merger is approximately $34.7 million.

Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans Disclosures [Abstract]
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS We have one qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering a portion of our employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plan. Both plans are closed to new participants. Effective December 31, 2016, we froze benefits for all employees participating in the pension plan. In lieu of the pension plan, we provide those employees with an enhanced 401(k) plan match. 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. We are not required to make mandatory 2021 pension contributions due to our plan’s improved funding status and have made no pension contribution payments during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The net pension and postretirement benefit (credits) costs that have been recorded are shown in the following table: Components of Net Periodic Benefit (Credit) Cost Income Statement Location Pension Postretirement Three Months Ended Three Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Service cost Selling and general expenses — — $2 $2 Interest cost Interest and other miscellaneous expense, net 557 677 11 13 Expected return on plan assets (a) Interest and other miscellaneous expense, net (936) (876) — — Amortization of losses Interest and other miscellaneous expense, net 288 215 5 2 Net periodic benefit (credit) cost ($91) $16 $18 $17 (a) The weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in computing 2021 net periodic benefit cost for pension benefit s i s 5.7%.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Rayonier is a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and therefore generally does not pay U.S. federal or state income tax. As of March 31, 2021, Rayonier owns a 97.0% interest in the Operating Partnership and conducts substantially all of its timberland operations through the Operating Partnership. The taxable income or loss generated by the Operating Partnership is passed through and reported to its unit holders (including the Company) on a Schedule K-1 for inclusion in each unitholder’s income tax return. Certain operations, including log trading and certain real estate activities, such as the entitlement, development and sale of HBU properties, are conducted through our TRS. The TRS subsidiaries are subject to United States federal and state corporate income tax. The New Zealand timber operations are conducted by the New Zealand subsidiary, which is subject to corporate-level tax at 28% in New Zealand and is treated as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company’s tax expense is principally related to corporate-level tax in New Zealand and non-resident withholding tax on repatriation of earnings from New Zealand. The following table contains the income tax expense recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income: Three Months Ended 2021 2020 Income tax expense ($3,421) ($3,706) ANNUAL EFFECTIVE TAX RATE The Company’s effective tax rate after discrete items is below the 21.0% U.S. statutory rate due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT.

Restricted Cash and Investments [Abstract]
RESTRICTED CASH	RESTRICTED CASH Restricted cash includes cash balances held in escrow as collateral for certain contractual obligations related to our Richmond Hill development project as well as cash held in escrow for real estate sales. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $0.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of restricted cash held in escrow. In addition, in order to qualify for like-kind exchange (“LKE”) treatment, the proceeds from real estate sales must be deposited with a third-party intermediary. These proceeds are accounted for as restricted cash until a suitable replacement property is acquired. In the event LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to us after 180 days and reclassified as available cash. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had no proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash which were deposited with an LKE intermediary. The following table contains the amounts of restricted cash recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021: March 31, 2021 Restricted cash held in escrow $475 Total restricted cash shown in the Consolidated Balance Sheets 475 Cash and cash equivalents 82,620 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $83,095

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the basis in properties meeting this classification was $7.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Since the basis in these properties was less than the fair value, including costs to sell, no impairment was recognized.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries and Rayonier, L.P. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Rayonier Inc. and Rayonier, L.P. year-end balance sheet information was derived from audited financial statements not included herein. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect any adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC (the “2020 Form 10-K”). On May 7, 2020, Rayonier Inc. contributed its 100% ownership interest in Rayonier Operating Company LLC (the “Contribution”) to Rayonier, L.P. As a result of the Contribution, Rayonier, L.P. expressly assumed all the obligations of Rayonier Inc. with respect to the outstanding 2022 Notes and Rayonier Inc. agreed to irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guarantee jointly and severally, the obligations of Rayonier, L.P. under the Indenture, including the 2022 Notes. On May 8, 2020, Rayonier, L.P. acquired Pope Resources and became the general partner of Pope Resources. As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned a 97.0% interest in the Operating Partnership, with the remaining 3.0% interest owned by limited partners of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Rayonier Inc. has exclusive control of the day-to-day management of the Operating Partnership. Please see Note 2 - Merger with Pope Resources and Note 24 - Charges for Integration and Restructuring for further information pertaining to the merger.
New Accounting Standards	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) , which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting due to reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During Q2 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity , which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options , that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of the provisions of ASU 2020-06 on our financial statements.
Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTSWe have evaluated events occurring from March 31, 2021 to the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. No events were identified that warranted recognition or disclosure.
Revenue Recognition	PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS We recognize revenue when control of promised goods or services (“performance obligations”) is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). We generally satisfy performance obligations within a year of entering into a contract and therefore have applied the disclosure exemption found under ASC 606-10-50-14. Unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2021 are primarily due to advances on stumpage contracts and unearned license revenue. These performance obligations are expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months. We generally collect payment within a year of satisfying performance obligations and therefore have elected not to adjust revenues for a financing component. CONTRACT BALANCES The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections results in accounts receivable and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounts receivable are recorded when we have an unconditional right to consideration for completed performance under the contract. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) we perform under the contract.
Segment Reporting	Sales between operating segments are made based on estimated fair market value, and intercompany sales, purchases and profits (losses) are eliminated in consolidation. We evaluate financial performance based on segment operating income (loss) and Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Asset information is not reported by segment, as we do not produce asset information by segment internally. 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 interest income (expense), miscellaneous income (expense) and income tax expense, are not considered by management to be part of segment operations and are included under “unallocated interest expense and other.”
Derivatives	Accounting for derivative financial instruments is governed by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Foreign currency exchange and option contracts hedging foreign currency risk on export sales and ocean freight payments qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. We may de-designate these cash flow hedge relationships in advance or at the occurrence of the forecasted transaction. The portion of gains or losses on the derivative instrument previously accumulated in other comprehensive loss for de-designated hedges remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Changes in the value of derivative instruments after de-designation are recorded in earnings. We use the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of our 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. Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership — The fair value of noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is determined based on the period-end closing price of Rayonier Inc. common shares.
