Foresting Tomorrow #27 | Craft, crime, canopy, and cloning

Foresting Tomorrow #27 | Craft, crime, canopy, and cloning

In this episode, we kick off with a handcrafted bike made of nine tree species and Kevlar—because why not ride wood through mountain passes? From there, we launch into orbit to explore how NASA is using laser tech from the International Space Station to map forest health and canopy height.

We then drop back to Earth and dive into a troubling report on how illegal Amazon timber is still flooding markets in the EU and US—just as EUDR enforcement looms.

And finally, we look at how Finnish robotics and AI are reshaping seedling production in New Zealand’s commercial forestry—because cloning elite trees now comes with machine vision.

A packed episode covering craft, crime, canopy, and cloning.

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