      Good morning EWB Team,

      Do you have information regarding acceptance by the Lama Lama community that Hoop Pine as a local species is allowable for use in construction or other purposes? One of our team considerations in using Hoop Pine as a material but we want to understand if the community has any restrictions on using that tree species.

      Thank you for your support.
      Kind regards Aaron
