Foresting Tomorrow #31 | Special Guests: Louise F. Kofoed-Dam & Kristoffer Sparre from EcoTree

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.

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