About
The Forest Resources Association (FRA) is the only national advocacy organization to represent the entire wood supply chain.
We focus on the safe, efficient, and sustainable harvest of forest products and their transport from woods to mill.
FRA represents the interests of more than 320 organizations and businesses in the forest products industry, including forest landowners, suppliers, consuming mills, associated businesses, and state forestry associations. Members all share a common interest – they rely on FRA to promote the public policy interests of the forest products industry’s supply chain on Capitol Hill and our work to advance safety, operational and technical efficiencies, and supply chain relations.
FRA has member representation in 49 states and 377 Congressional Districts.
