The NZ Wood Programme
Learn about the vision and components of the NZWood programme; who is involved, how it is funded, why it was founded and how it is being implemented.
NZ Wood is an industry-wide programme covering New Zealand forests and wood and is designed to inspire the use of this sustainable and versatile resource.
The programme builds on the wood culture in New Zealand's heritage. This is being achieved through a broad range of exciting initiatives and projects that support the growth of the entire forestry and wood industry.
Initiatives include education, research and development, information, design and the promotion of forests and wood in New Zealand.
The NZ Wood programme brings together diverse members of the forestry and wood industry to pursue common objectives of:
- Growing the domestic market share for wood.
- Increasing per-capita consumption of wood in New Zealand.
- Growing public awareness of the industry’s economic and environmental contribution forests and wood make to New Zealand.
Most importantly, the NZ Wood programme will help New Zealand fight climate change and global warming.
