    The Wood Supply Chain: Who We Are and Where We’re Going
    14 Sep 2026

    In the debut episode of Woods to Mill, host Clay Altizer and co-host Vanessa Connelly sit down with FRA President & CEO Tim O’Hara and Josh Sandt, Vice President of Fiber Procurement & Residuals for Canfor Southern Pine and immediate past FRA Board Chair, to introduce the wood supply chain and the role the Forest Resources Association plays within it.

    What does the wood supply chain actually look like, and how do all of its moving parts connect? Tim and Josh discuss who FRA represents, what the association does for its members and the industry, and why bringing together voices from across the supply chain matters. It’s a conversation about who we are, why our work matters, and where FRA and the wood supply chain are headed.
