In this special episode, we sit down with Louise Frederikke Kofoed-Dam and Kristoffer Sparre from EcoTree—a company on a mission to make forestry accessible, investable, and nature-positive.

They take us behind the scenes of their European projects, from restoring gravel pits in Denmark to reforesting fire-damaged land in France. We explore how they blend selective harvesting with biodiversity goals, why they guarantee forest protection for 100 years, and how they’ve built a carbon credit system certified by Bureau Veritas.

We also unpack the impact of EU regulations like CSRD and EUDR, the challenges of acquiring land across different countries, and how EcoTree’s long-term model could reshape the way companies engage with nature restoration.

From spreadsheets and soil samples to nesting boxes and oak trees that live for 199 years—this episode has it all.

In this episode, we start with a breakthrough in wood-based materials: a new “super wood” that’s stronger than steel and ready for production. Made from compressed wood fibres, it promises to replace tropical hardwoods and even compete with concrete and steel in buildings—without cutting down endangered forests.

From there, we head into Canada’s remote forests, where self-driving timber trucks have just passed their first field trials. Using a leader-follower approach, these autonomous trucks could help solve labour shortages while safely navigating harsh terrain.

And finally, we zoom in on the EU’s upcoming deforestation rules, as new reports suggest only four countries—Belarus, Russia, Myanmar, and North Korea—will be labelled as “high risk.” But why are countries like Brazil and Indonesia not on the list?

A packed episode covering engineered wood, automated hauling, and environmental regulation.

In this episode, we kick things off with a jaw-dropping feat of timber engineering: Sweden is building a 400-meter wooden suspension bridge—its longest yet—proving once again that wood can do more than hold up a bookshelf.

From there, we fly into Canada, where indigenous-led organisations and AI-powered drone swarms are teaming up to fight wildfires in remote and dangerous areas. These heavy-lift drones scoop water from nearby lakes and drop it with surgical precision—even at night.

And finally, we drop into virtual reality—literally. In Australia, students are stepping into the forest through VR headsets, getting a 360-degree taste of forest management and timber harvesting, all before they’ve even chosen a career path.

A packed episode covering bridges, bots, and budding foresters.
