The Mission of the Forest Resources Association is to promote the interests of forest products industry members in the economical, efficient, and sustainable use of forest resources to meet the needs of the wood fiber supply chain through private enterprise. In FRA's Western Region, members organize and conduct two meetings each year, focusing on a current wood supply chain issue. These regional meetings are each two days, beginning with a Technical Seminar highlighting transportation, fiber quality, environmental, and biomass issues, with a second day General Session on a theme and technical fiber supply reports.
