Älvdalen Besparingsskog: Smarter Solutions for Precision Forestry

Älvdalen Besparingsskog is a community-owned forestry organisation based in Sweden. It manages large forest areas and aims to combine efficient use of resources with responsible forest stewardship. Arbonaut is one of Location Innovation Hub partners, a geodata company specialising in forestry applications. Arbonaut provided high-resolution tree-level data using LiDAR and AI-powered analysis. The forest inventory covered an area of 130,000 hectares.

Nils Eliasson, CEO, Älvdalen Besparingsskog:

“With Arbonaut’s analysis, we can save several hours of planning work per logging site without entering the forest. We can identify timber volumes with good precision, as well as deadwood, broadleaved dominance and other biodiversity indicators.”

Having precise information instead of estimates helps ensure both economically and ecologically sound decision-making.
