The Timber Risk Report™ is a weekly update on risk-events posted to the Timber Risk Map. These events represent legal risks in wood product supply chains. While they do not represent crimes (unless explicitly stated), they provide timely information so that buyers of wood products can adequately conduct due diligence. To get alerts as they are posted, you can customize location-based alerts here. A weekly newsletter is also provided to members of TimberCheck. Join.
