Greetings for another Tuesday mass timber update. Check out the Taranakipine Long-Span deck supporting the winners of Growing Native Forest Champions at Fieldays ’25, showcasing the harmony between exotics and natives. The volume of building work in Q1, which remained unchanged, has broken a previous trend of six quarterly declines. Two companies are partnering to tackle one of the wind energy industry’s most persistent challenges—and they may set a world record with their 164-foot-long wooden blades! Lastly, Timber Development UK offers a library of inspiring case studies, showcasing the design possibilities of mass timber in various projects.

We are getting close to finalising the speaker programme for our annual WoodWorks Conference. If your team has an innovative case study of a mass timber project, we invite you to send a presentation proposal.
