From the breathtaking landscapes of Aotearoa to the solid walls and foundations of our homes, native timber has long played an invaluable role in shaping New Zealand's story. It's been an intrinsic part of our construction industry, a significant export asset, and a symbol of our heritage.

The indigenous Kauri, Rimu, Totara, Matai, and Kahikatea trees, to name a few, have been the veins and arteries of our homes, standing resilient through the test of time. These towering giants, each with their unique characteristics, have imbued our buildings with their strength and beauty.🌲💪🏠

You only need to look around to see our architectural history etched in the timeless elegance of native timber. The timber beams, flooring, and joinery in so many houses bear testimony to a resource that is now largely preserved due to stringent logging regulations. This precious resource, a gift from our ancestors, is something we now protect for future generations.🌍🔐

While the use of native timber has significantly reduced in the construction industry due to sustainability efforts, these standing houses remain an enduring testament to New Zealand's natural wealth.

Today, we cherish these homes and buildings. They are a living testament to our history and an enduring symbol of our commitment to sustainability. These precious edifices remind us to honour the natural bounty of our nation, encouraging us to protect, respect, and cherish our environment.💚🏞️

Let's continue to treasure these wood-adorned homes as a crucial part of our heritage and as a reminder of our duty towards our environment. After all, it's not just wood - it's the story of New Zealand.
