Welcome to World Wood Day 2026

The WWD 2026 theme is Wood Culture, Common Heritage.

This theme highlights the long relationship between people and wood as a fundamental material in daily life, architecture, art, and craftsmanship. Across cultures and generations, knowledge of working with wood has been shared and preserved as part of humanity’s common heritage.

It also emphasizes wood’s role in the future as a renewable, low-carbon material that supports sustainable design and responsible forest stewardship. The theme invites global communities to celebrate wooden heritage, protect traditional skills, and promote sustainable use of forests.
