In this final episode before the summer break, we reflect on a packed few weeks of forest innovation and debate—starting with Denmark’s Naturmødet and Sweden’s Elmia Wood Fair. From policy discussions to chainsaw sports, we explore the full spectrum of what forestry means today.

We also revisit our live-recorded conversation with Aeon Group, diving into the untapped potential of forest data—from the field to the boardroom—and pitch an upcoming podcast series on the "Data Journey".

Then, things get a little wild: we examine a four-legged forestry robot developed in Poland, designed to collect data, count animals, and... gather ticks. Is it a breakthrough or just another overengineered academic project?

Finally, we explore the medical potential of pine bark. Could forest by-products become ingredients in life-saving drugs? We discuss bio-refineries, bark chemistry, and how this research could unlock new forest value chains.

A thoughtful wrap-up on forestry’s future, tech ambition, and summer reflections.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak, Rasmus Pedersen, and Benjamin Lauridsen.
