Smart Growth: Paving the American Dream

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY FOUNDATION

"Weyerhaeuser had a great experience working with Chancellor Leutze and UNCW on the Neuse River documentary Currents of Hope, so we were very receptive when they approached us about this project. We think smart growth is an extremely important topic for our state to address. From Weyerhaeuser's point of view, we think managed, sustainable forests are a great way to conserve green space. We also believe that real estate development for population growth should enhance the environment rather than supplant it. Paving the American Dream will add a lot to the public discussion of this very important topic. Weyerhaeuser is proud to help sponsor the documentary."
