The 2016 World Wood Day theme "Nature & Culture" draws inspiration from the core concept of World Wood Day (WWD). That concept is to raise awareness of wood as an eco-friendly renewable biomaterial and demonstrate the key role of wood in a sustainable future. The theme will explore the interrelationship between nature and culture that influence the way we use wood in our daily lives. We hope that the theme can bring a broader perspective in learning about and enjoying wood.
World Wood Day is a cultural event celebrated annually during the week of March 21st to highlight wood as an eco-friendly and renewable biomaterial and to raise awareness on the key role wood plays in a sustainable world. Starting from 2013, WWD celebrations were held in Tanzania, China, Turkey, and Nepal respectively, involving participants from over 100 countries and regions.
