FSC NRA Region-specific resources

Southeast & Mississippi

This expansive area includes large parts of the 10 Coastal States from Delaware to Texas (including Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana), and a portion of southern Illinois to the lower Mississippi Valley (including Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri).

NOTE: The extent of this region means that few companies procure wood from this whole area. Consider whether your company might avoid parts of this large region (and it’s Specified Risk subjects). Give us a call if you need help.
