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.
