Wooden boat culture is founded on renewable resources, repair and maintenance, and long-term thinking—we want our oceans to be healthy places to play, learn, and live for us and the marine wildlife that depend on them for generations to come.
We know there's a lot to do and understand that sustainability goes well beyond caring for our environment, but we remain committed to improving our sustainability practices here at Wooden Boat Festival. We can't do it alone, which is why we want to invite the Wooden Boat Festival community to actively engage and participate in our journey towards a more sustainable Wooden Boat Festival.
