Western Wood Products Association

Technical support: this program supports western lumber in the marketplace. It provides technical information and design aids to architects, engineers, and building code officials. The association also actively collaborates with other organizations to enhance softwood lumber's position in construction markets. This collaborative approach is further demonstrated through activities such as kiln certification, reviewing lumber design values, and working with members in the development of new products.

Market services: produces and distributes industry reports, including invoice-based bench-marking reports for members. Maintains a library of literature on the internet on how to specify and use member lumber products. Value-added services include the wwpa wood dust notification service, lumber price indices provided to the u.s. Forest service per our contract, providing sales leads to members, and conducting market research. Web content and maintenance are also supported by market services.
