Various forestry and wood-focused festivals are highlighting the lifecycle and architectural utility of timber in Poland. The second edition of the Wood Festival will take place on September 19 and 20 at the SGGW campus in Warsaw. Organized by Lasy Państwowe, SGGW, and the Association of Energy-Efficient Ready-made Houses, the free event aims to demonstrate the journey of wood from forest harvesting to finished products through workshops, demonstrations, and expert discussions.
