LIFE HAYA
Hardwood for the home
“Building with beech wood”.
The Project
The LIFE Haya – Hardwood For The Home project aims to improve the climate change mitigation capacity of beech forests in Spain through a silvicultural model based on CLOSE TO NATURE FORESTRY. It will focus on climate change adaptation and the promotion of biodiversity in 10 demonstration stands in 4 regions of Spain (Castilla y León, La Rioja, Navarra and the Basque Country), generating 250 tons of wood used for innovative products and the construction of a sustainable pilot building based on the “Hayabitat” construction system with PEFC, “Passivhaus” and LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) certification under the Level(s) framework.
