World Wood Day
Celebrate the importance and value of wood
World Wood Day is a cultural event on March 21st, highlighting wood as an eco-friendly and renewable biomaterial and raising awareness of the key role wood plays in a sustainable world through biodiversity and forest conservation. The day serves as a reminder of the importance and true value of wood and its responsible uses.
Wood is an eco-friendly and renewable bio-material. It absorbs and stores carbon dioxide as well as releases oxygen to combat climate change. Wood is versatile, naturally beautiful, and played an important role throughout human history.
World Wood Day falls on the vernal equinox, March 21st, to symbolize the start of spring. World Wood Day was proposed by International Wood Culture Society (IWCS) and first celebrated in 2013 in Tanzania.
