Wienwood Prize 2015

As I mentioned when I was describing activities and locations of Pro Holz, there is no branch of ProHolz in Wien. Instead of ProHolz, there is Wienwood. Anyway it works under ProHolz, so it is like a part of it. It is also possible that I am wrong, because every region has its own ProHolz page, but proholz.at is general one...maybe for Wien.
