The $152 million pretax gain on sale of non-strategic timberlands resulted from the sale of 82,000 acres in southwestern Washington.
Foreign exchange gains result from changes in exchange rates, primarily related to our Canadian operations.
Land management income consists primarily of income derived from leasing, renting and granting easement and rights of way on our timberlands.
