NET EARNINGS PER SHARE | NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE Our basic and diluted earnings per share were: ● $0.91 during first quarter 2021 and ● $0.20 during first quarter 2020. Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares.

Equity Method Investments And Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES | NOTE 6: VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES From 2002 through 2004, we sold certain nonstrategic timberlands. As a result of these sales, buyer-sponsored and monetization variable interest entities, or special purpose entities (SPEs), were formed. We were the primary beneficiary and consolidated the assets and liabilities of the SPEs involved in these transactions. The assets of the buyer-sponsored SPEs were financial investments which consisted of bank guarantees. These bank guarantees were in turn backed by bank notes, which were the liabilities of the monetization SPEs. Interest earned from the financial investments within the buyer-sponsored SPEs was used to pay interest accrued on the corresponding monetization SPE’s note. During first quarter 2020, we received $362 million in proceeds from our final buyer-sponsored SPE at maturity. The corresponding $302 million in liabilities of this SPE was paid in third quarter 2019. |

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair values and carrying values of our long-term debt and line of credit consisted of the following: MARCH 31, 2021 DECEMBER 31, 2020 DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS CARRYING VALUE FAIR VALUE (LEVEL 2) CARRYING VALUE FAIR VALUE (LEVEL 2) Long-term debt (including current maturities) and line of credit: Fixed rate $ 5,250 $ 6,413 $ 5,250 $ 6,718 Variable rate 225 225 225 225 Total debt $ 5,475 $ 6,638 $ 5,475 $ 6,943 To estimate the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt we used the market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt. We believe that our variable rate long-term debt and line of credit instruments have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. The inputs to these valuations are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, mutual fund investments held in grantor trusts, and receivables and payables, have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the allowance for doubtful accounts. |

This agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in third quarter 2021. Alabama Acquisition On February 25, 2021, we announced an agreement to purchase 69,200 acres of southwest Alabama timberlands for approximately $149 million. We completed the purchase on April 27, 2021. Montana Divestiture On December 17, 2019, we announced an agreement to sell 630,000 acres of Montana timberlands, which was part of our Timberlands business segment. On March 26, 2020, we completed the sale for $145 million in cash proceeds, which is net of purchase price adjustments and closing costs. Due to the impairment recorded during fourth quarter 2019, no material gain or loss was recorded as a result of this sale. The divestiture was not considered a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | NOTE 16: INCOME TAXES As a real estate investment trust (REIT), we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on REIT taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. We are required to pay corporate income taxes on earnings of our wholly-owned Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs), which includes our Wood Products segment earnings and portions of our Timberlands and Real Estate & ENR segments' earnings. The quarterly provision for income taxes is based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted for discrete taxable events that have occurred during the year. Our 2021 estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and tax benefits associated with our nontaxable REIT earnings. |

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Consolidation | Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. They include our accounts and the accounts of entities we control, including majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. They do not include our intercompany transactions and accounts, which are eliminated. Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless specified otherwise, references to “Weyerhaeuser,” “we,” “the company” and “our” refer to the consolidated company. |
Earnings Per Share | We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | To estimate the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt we used the market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt. We believe that our variable rate long-term debt and line of credit instruments have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. The inputs to these valuations are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date. |
