Consulting Services Wood Resources International (WRI), an internationally recognized forest industry consulting firm established in 1987, has successfully completed more than 180 consulting assignments in over 35 countries worldwide. The company is committed to continuing its international consulting services to the paper and wood products industries by focusing on its area of expertise: on-site evaluations of forest resources and forest products industries worldwide.
