Weyerhaeuser Company announced that its board of directors has declared a dividend on the company’s common shares of $0.29 per share, reflecting a 32% increase from the prior quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share.
 
With this increase, the company has grown its dividend by 93% since 2011. The dividend is payable in cash on Sept. 12, 2014, to holders of record of such common shares at the close of business on Aug. 29, 2014.
