ITEM 9 - REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

     On February 28, 2003, Weyerhaeuser Company a press release stating the
following:

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - Steven R. Rogel, Weyerhaeuser Company chairman, president
and chief executive officer, today announced that Jack P. Taylor Jr. has
accepted the role of senior vice president, Timberlands.

Taylor replaces Richard E. Hanson, who was recently promoted to chief operating
officer.  In his new role, Taylor, who reports to Hanson, is responsible for the
management of Weyerhaeuser's North American timberland operations.  Weyerhaeuser
operates 7.3 million acres of privately managed forests in the United States.
In Canada, the company holds renewable, long-term licenses on 34.7 million acres
of forestland and owns 664,000 acres.

"I'm pleased that we were able to persuade Jack to delay his retirement for two
years in order to retain his leadership during a transition period," Hanson
said.  "Jack brings deep operating experience to the Timberlands organization
and will help recently named key leaders gain additional experience and
accomplish critical business objectives.  As a new member of our Senior
Management Team, Jack will provide an important perspective to our leadership
team."

Taylor joined Weyerhaeuser in 1969 and worked in a variety of forestry,
timberlands operations and raw materials management positions.  He has been vice
president of Western Timberlands since 1999.
