Owner of InNovaSilva ApS
Mission and vision

I started InNovaSilva ApS with a mission to promote and enhance sustainable management and restoration of forests and forest landscapes challenged by climate change by innovating through applied research and development. I believe that intelligent use of wood and wood biomass, along with sustainable forest restoration and management, is the most powerful and cost-effective tool we have to make a difference for a better world.

The challenges are greater than ever, but our opportunities to implement good solutions are also greater. I contribute with more than 30 years of experience in silviculture, research, development, dissemination, and implementation of evidence-based results within forest management, regeneration, and restoration.

InNovaSilva ApS’ approach is to collaborate with practitioners and stakeholders to combine forest science with innovative methods to support implementation that is relevant to meeting needs. This is done with a full understanding of the changing conditions in our modern world, including population growth and different economies, changing climate conditions, and the widespread emergence of new ecosystems.
