Jord & Skog: The company using AI tools for centered selective logging

Jord & Skog, a magazine from Vimmerby Tidning and Västerviks‑Tidningen, highlights Hyggligt and our use of AI tools for centered selective logging (centrerad plockhuggning) in a feature.

“We want to give more forest owners the opportunity to manage their forests through selective logging (plockhuggning) instead of traditional clearcut forestry (trakthyggesbruk). We do that by using new technology—data collection with drones—together with the latest research on optimizing selective logging,” says Edith, CEO of Hyggligt.

The article describes how Hyggligt uses laser data, image analysis, and algorithms to help harvester operators make decisions in continuous-cover harvests (hyggesfria avverkningar). This approach enables precision harvesting that is both economically profitable and sustainable for forest owners.
