FRA Wood Supply Chain Schematic
FRA has developed a schematic that will help people understand and visualize the wood supply chain that is captured in those three simple words “woods to mill.” The uses of this schematic are many, including to assist in discussions with policymakers, the orientation of new employees, briefing of customers, woods and mill tours, and informing educators, to name just a few.

Available to purchase in booklets of 50 tear-out pages for training and educational purposes.

Booklet price is $40.00 for FRA members and $65.00 for non-members.

FRA’s Western Region recently revised the guide ‘Chip Quality Manual – Quality Chips Make a Difference.’ This 3rd edition is a comprehensive summary of chip production, including chip quality, debarking, chipping, screening and conveying, and troubleshooting. New enhancements and additions include updated information on debarking, screening and chipper/canter systems. This guide has been of great value to our members over the years and is developed to support all those involved in the production and consumption of chips.

The manual is produced as a small pocket guide and is also available as a PDF for training purposes. Along with the manual, the pocket-sized chip gauge allows for quick evaluation of chip size.
