"Planning is becoming more and more creative and every year there are new technical solutions. As a result, wood is becoming more attractive as a building material for builders and planners every year," summarises Deputy Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitne. "You can see this not only in single-family homes, but also in the public sector, where wood is being used more and more often in construction." The timber industry in Lower Austria has now reached a production value of around 1.7 billion euros and employs around 22,000 Lower Austrians.

Nicola Brockmüller from the Schleswig-Holstein Nature Conservation Foundation explains on DLF that this is also a good way of cooling the earth's climate and preventing flooding.
