My research sets out to investigate the key challenges in the Swedish forest management planning with a focus on (i) accommodating multiple needs of forest owners and (ii) integrating landscape perspective in FMPs. The research is also application-oriented, focusing on specific estates and landscapes in southern Sweden, and involves the co-creation of knowledge between science and practice. 

I am a part of Formas project Co-Creator: Co-Creating forest management plans for better accommodation of owner needs and landscape perspective". The Co-Creators project is designed to incite lasting changes in forest management practices, and involves knowledge co-creation between scientists, private forest owners, planners and advisors. Cooperation with important forest organisations, including Södra and the Swedish forest agency.
