In this on-the-road episode, we leave the studio behind and head north to Naturmødet—Denmark’s biggest festival for nature, politics, and public dialogue.

From muddy boots to sharp debates, we bring you conversations straight from the festival. You'll hear from nature advocate Alexander Holm, biodiversity professor Signe Normand, Danish Animal Ethics Council chair Bengt Holst, Client & Innovation head Rasmus Willumsen, and nature practitioner Anton Johnsen.

We discuss everything from biodiversity collapse and marine destruction to coexisting with wolves, building with timber, and the rising demand for traceability in forestry. You’ll also hear how hollow trees support ecosystems, why harassment is undermining conservation, and what Denmark’s nature dialogue can teach the world.

It’s thoughtful, it’s candid—and yes, there’s free beer somewhere in the mix.

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

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.
