The Western Red Cedar Lumber Association is a non profit trade association of Western Red Cedar producers, distributors and retailers throughout North America. Founded in 1954, the association is known worldwide as "the voice of the cedar industry." Its members account for more than 65 percent of the world's production of Western Red Cedar and have an annual volume of nearly 1 billion board feet.
The WRCLA works closely with architects, designers and builders to ensure the right product is specified and utilized for each project. The association offers extensive resources for architects, builders and installers including installation guides and DVDs available in English, Spanish and Russian, specification information and technical support. The WRCLA also offers two education programs eligible for AIA Learning Credits.
Dedicated technical representatives are available to assist architects with the selection, specification and sourcing of Western Red Cedar. These resources are available to architects and specifiers at no cost. Conveniently located in Washington State, Minnesota, and New York, these representatives can be reached through the WRCLA hotline 1 866 778 9096.
Western Red Cedar is one of nature's truly remarkable building materials. Not only does it have distinctive beauty, natural durability and centuries of proven performance, Western Red Cedar is the ultimate green product. It produces fewer greenhouse gases, generates less water and air pollution, requires less energy to produce than alternatives and comes from a renewable and sustainable resource. Equally important, Western Red Cedar is carbon neutral. Visit our website, www.wrcla.org, and download the publication "Tackle Climate Change–Use Wood."
