Rayonier Adds Mark E. Gaumond to Board of Directors

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov.1, 2010 - Rayonier (NYSE:RYN) announced today that Mark E. Gaumond has been elected to its board of directors, effective immediately.

Previously, he was the managing partner of the firm's San Francisco office. Prior to joining Ernst & Young in 2002, Gaumond spent more than 25 years with Arthur Andersen LLP, where he served as the audit partner for several multi-national companies operating in a variety of industries.

"We are delighted to have Mark join our board. His 35 years of managerial, financial and accounting experience will be an excellent resource," said Lee M. Thomas, chairman and chief executive officer.
