“Wood is universally beautiful to man. It is the most humanly intimate of all materials”
Frank Lloyd Wright, American Architect, Writer & Educator
Most of us do not recognise the value wood brings to the world and into our lives. Wood is an extremely vital resource that has numerous environmental and health benefits including renewability and lower carbon footprint.
On the occasion of World Wood Day, celebrated globally, let us deep dive into why we should treasure this marvellous natural resource.
Consumers’ world over are getting increasingly conscious of preserving the environment through mitigation of global warming and carbon footprint and are demanding wood products made from certified wood from sustainably managed forests. Organisations too have begun to demonstrate a commitment towards conserving the environment while building, manufacturing, and selling wood products. Indian wood industry also of late has started shifting towards use of materials from sustainable sources.
Canadian Wood, actively promotes legally harvested and certified wood from sustainably managed forests of B.C. Canada in the off-shore markets including India by creating awareness and educating the woodworking industry about its five distinct species, their properties, and possible applications. Technical support, hand holding and sharing of best practices by Canadian Wood is what draws the Indian woodworking community to it. We thus celebrate WORLD WOOD DAY every day and not just once a year, for nature is vital for the coexistence of human race along with other living beings in harmony with nature!
