Woodco - NZ Wood

NZ Wood

The NZ Wood programme is a cornerstone of establishing in the minds of both the general population and within specifiers and architects the value of using wood grown from New Zealand plantation forests. The importance of wood and the value it provides from an environmental perspective cannot be underestimated and a successful promotional programme including television advertisements and billboards has been undertaken over the past 12-months. A major web-based information product will be launched on 1 September 2008. Further information can be found on the NZ Wood website.

The NZ Wood programme is an initiative of Woodco. Visit http://www.nzwood.co.nz for more information.
