As our community discusses ways of tackling climate change, a new partnership has been formed to promote an easy, low cost solution to capturing and storing carbon ‐ simply using sustainably sourced wood as a building material.

Planet Ark, one of Australia’s leading environmental organisations, is joining forces with Forest and Wood Products Australia (FWPA), the industry body behind the Wood. Naturally Better.™ program, to encourage the use of sustainably sourced wood. The initiative comes during the International Year of Forests, a global platform to celebrate people’s action to sustainably manage the world’s forests.
