We have so many exciting things lined up for this years event as well as all the workshops, talks and Forums, we have live music and demonstrations, heaps of kids activities, information stalls and a fantastic market selling everything from wood crafts to delicious food and craft beer. For a full line up of all the goings on please see our 2019 Program page.

For our natural building edition we will explore:

different timber qualities and uses,
natural building techniques,
efficient home design,
sustainable building options and components,
tiny homes,
chemical reduction in builds, and
how this all fits with the building code

We have support from Te Uru Rakāu, TDC Special grants, Golden Bay Community Fund and many other local organisations that value what the event brings to the community and the region.

We work together with guests from local organisations and people from further afield that can see the benefit of this gathering and that happily bring their skills and knowledge to share.

It is our aim to get a wide diversity of people around the table for a kōrero.
