Item 2.06.  Material Impairments

ITEM 2.06.  Material Impairments

      (a)	On October 4, 2005, Weyerhaeuser Company announced that as a result
of poor market conditions, the Prince Albert pulp and paper mill in Saskatchewan
would be closed indefinitely.  The company stated that it intends to explore all
options with respect to the future of the mill, including identification of
potential purchasers.  Prince Albert operations will commence a phased,
indefinite closure starting Jan. 3, 2006.  Paper operations will cease
production on or about Jan. 2.  The pulp mill will continue operating until
spring to minimize risk of damage caused by cold winter weather.

      On October 17, 2005, the company determined that a charge for impairment
of the assets of the Prince Albert pulp and paper mill is required.  In
addition, the company also determined that a charge for impairment of the assets
of the Big River sawmill is required.  The Big River sawmill sells chips and hog
fuel to the Prince Albert pulp and paper mill and is not expected to have a
market for such residuals if the Prince Albert facility were to close.

      (b)	The company estimates the impairment charge required for the Prince
Albert mill and the Big River sawmill to be in the range of approximately $375
million to $400 million pre-tax, including termination benefits.

      (c)	The company also estimates that it will incur future cash
expenditures of approximately $10 million to $15 million of the impairment
charge, relating to payment of termination benefits.
