Forest Industry Directory
A guide to primary and secondary processors in Arkansas

In an effort to make the directory more user friendly, this year's directory was released in four different forms. The difference in the directories is sort order. Based upon your needs you may look up a mill by name, by species utilized, by mill type, or by county.

Every effort has been made to include all wood processors operating in Arkansas in this directory. If your wood processing company is not listed, or the information is incorrect, please use either the AFC comment section on our home page, or contact the AFC at 501-296-1940. It is not our intention to leave any wood processing company out of this directory.

The Arkansas Forestry Commission does not assume responsibility for the actions of individuals or firms listed, and does not imply endorsement of any particular listing.

Definitions
