Thanks, April. As we wrap up today's call, I'd like to recognize the extraordinary efforts of our team during what has been an incredibly busy period of time for our entire organization. Amid challenging end market conditions, our team has worked diligently to make value-optimizing decisions throughout our operations while also advancing several important strategic initiatives. As we move through the remainder of the year, we are optimistic that continued favorable dynamics for single-family housing, higher operating rates for many of our pulpwood customers and lower log inventories in China will translate to improving fundamentals in our timber segments.
On the real estate front, we've been pleased by the continued strong demand for our rural land and development properties despite the higher interest rate environment. We are especially excited to start executing on new opportunities in Wildlight, stemming from the entitlements that our team secured last November. We've also continued to make progress in our land-based solutions business. Specifically, we've increased the number of acres we have under lease for carbon capture and storage to 70,000 acres as of today, up from 59,000 acres at the time of our Investor Day.
In addition, we now have 33,000 acres under option for solar development, up from 27,000 acres at the end of 2023. As we've expanded our pipeline of opportunities in land-based solutions, we've continued to focus on working with high-caliber counterparties that we believe will ultimately see a stronger conversion rate to operational facilities.
All said, I'm very proud of how we worked together to effectively manage through some difficult market conditions while also advancing these important strategic initiatives.
In closing, I'd further like to thank our Board as well as our recently retired CEO, Dave Nunes, for guiding us through a smooth leadership transition process over the past 2 years. Their collective efforts helped ensure that the organization didn't skip a beat amid a very dynamic market environment.
Lastly, I also want to take a moment to recognize the significant contributions of our Board Chair, Dod Fraser, who will be retiring from our Board in May. Dod has served on the Board of Rayonier since the 2014 spinoff of the Performance Fibers business, including as Chair for the past 4 years as well as Audit Chair for the prior 6 years. Throughout this time, he's demonstrated impeccable leadership, dedication and judgment. On behalf of the Board and the entire company, I want to thank Dod for his invaluable contributions, the governance of Rayonier and wish him well in his future endeavors.
That concludes our prepared remarks. And I'll now turn the call back to the operator for questions.
