Build it GREEN: ECO friendly Wood!
Canada's forests play a major role in the delicate balance of life, supporting two thirds of Canada’s 140,000 species of plants, animals and microorganisms.
Proudly, Canada leads the world with sustainable forestry management practices. Only 119 million ha or 28% of forests are currently managed for timber production while an estimated 32 million ha are protected from harvesting. Internationally, Canada supports developing countries to better manage their forests through technology transfer and professional advice.
The world is watching – and it likes what it sees. Canada is building a wood culture, where the world sees us as leaders in building with wood, where we produce competitive products and building systems and where we embrace wood as our first choice and best value building material. Best of all, we do all of that as part of our stewardship of vibrant, healthy sustainable forests.
