Public Branch Library in Dallas, Texas - We want to utilize wood staves for horizontal fencing elements and cannot find staves that are FSC certified. If we use non-FSC material, will this count against our overall "project" FSC quantities. The point language says "project" not "building" so I am concerned that any "new wood" on the project site must be considered in the point calculation.
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

Based on what you've identifed above, the simple answer would be YES. Permanent wood fencing will be counted as part of the MR7 calculation.
HOWEVER, if you can find 'salvadged or re-used' wood staves, they would NOT be included as part of the MR7 calculation.
Best,
Doug
