🌳 The State of Our Forests in 2024 & New Technologies

Jens Isbak

Hello and welcome to this week’s Forsler newsletter 👋🏻

As summer turns to autumn and the forests change colour, our newsletter is also changing.

We've spent the last few months creating a new podcast: Foresting Tomorrow. It’s a weekly show where we'll talk about the latest news and trends in forest management. 🎧 You can watch a short trailer here:

The newsletter will still be sent every two weeks – but with one small change: our portrait articles will be replaced with in-depth pieces on the latest industry developments.

We hope you’ll enjoy the new format 🎙️

💬 In this week’s issue:

Foresting Tomorrow, podcast episode 1: The State of Our Forests in 2024 and CLT 🌳
Is technology the answer? A look at remote sensing and LiDAR 📡
New updates: Guides on using Forsler 🗓
For those who can't get enough: Explore the sources we used in the podcast 🤓

With that settled, let’s dive into this week’s newsletter 🌳

🎙️ Podcast episode 1: The State of Our Forests in 2024 and CLT 🌳

Our first podcast episode is out – and you can listen to it right here. The podcast will be released every week and will focus on the latest developments and trends in our industry.

The theme of the first episode is the state of our forests in 2024 – and we’re basing it on a brand new report from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation. Sadly, the report shows that forest fires and pest infestations are happening more often than ever.

Later in the episode, we talk about CLT (cross-laminated timber) – a new way of using wood instead of steel or concrete. CLT can help reduce environmental damage and is a more sustainable way to build.

We’d love to hear what you think of the podcast. If you have any feedback, please send it to us.

📃 Is Technology the Answer? A Look at Remote Sensing and LiDAR

As mentioned in the podcast, our forests are facing more problems than ever before. But can technology help us save them?

In this article, we look at how LiDAR and other remote sensing technologies could revolutionise forest management. From precise 3D modelling to early detection of forest fires and pest problems – find out how modern technology is helping us monitor and protect our forests more effectively than ever before.
