Sveaskog is one of the partners of IUFRO 2024 (International Union of Forest Research Organisations), which is held in the Greater Stockholm area and throughout eastern central Sweden June 23 to June 29. Sveaskog is participating both as hosts of excursions and with expertise in a number av events.
Sveaskog is proud to host two in-congress excursions held during the week – both focusing on future forestry:
Digitalisation for sustainable forest management
From the IUFRO program:
"Digitalisation is advancing rapidly, and used wisely it will enhance our possibilities to manage forests sustainably. During this field excursion we will visit the Swedish state forest company Sveaskog and get an insight into current practical forest management and digitalisation.
New methods and remote sensing techniques to assess forest damage, biodiversity and conservation values will be demonstrated in the field. There will also be time for informal discussions and opportunities to experience the Swedish forest landscape by foot."

“I look forward to the excursions. It’s a great chance to show the Swedish forestry to international visitors. I think it's interesting for them to see the dynamics of our way of forestry, with high tech machines and efficient systems for harvest and planting."
