Forest science built in the field over three decades.
GWG's editorial output turns three decades of applied research into public knowledge — for producers, investors, woodworkers, architects and everyone who wants to understand the new foundation of cultivated noble timber.
GWG Technical Series
Trees & Timbers of Brazil
A free editorial series on the woods of Brazil — from forest to market, from biome to product. Each volume is an independent reference work. The collection grows continuously.
In production · Coming soon
The Woods and Forests of Brazil
The founding volume of the series. A wide-ranging overview of wood as a material — its biology, its history, its central role in the building of Brazil — and of the forests that produce it. It travels through Brazil's main biomes and native noble species, discusses the technical criteria of the harvest cycle and of full wood quality, and lays bare the quiet advance of degradation and desertification that now threatens this heritage.
