ForestryBriefing
The brief is free. The briefing is not.
ForestryBrief publishes verified forestry intelligence — free, three times a week, in 25+ countries.
When you need that intelligence applied to your specific situation, that's a ForestryBriefing.
500+ professionals already read the brief.
50%+ open rates. 66% corporate email subscribers.
But often you need more. Something tailor-made for you.
Your problem
Timber prices are fragmented. EU regulations change weekly. The people selling you forest assets know more than you do.
You need someone who reads the sources you can't — in the languages you don't speak — and tells you what it actually means for your business.
If you manage forests: You need price intelligence that's current, not last quarter's averages. You need to know what EUDR actually requires from you — in plain language. You need to see what your competitors in other countries are doing.
If you invest in forests: You need to see the full picture before you sign. Ownership structures, regulatory risks, valuations that don't come from the seller's broker. You need someone who verifies every new contact before the first call — corporate registration, regulatory licences, beneficial ownership, track record — so you never walk into a meeting unprepared.
If forests touch your supply chain: You need EUDR compliance intelligence from someone who understands forests, not just regulation. You need to know which carbon projects are real and which are greenwashing. You need a window into European forestry that your industry association doesn't provide.
See what that looks like - free
ForestryBrief Professional — free deep-dive intelligence reports. This is what you get before you hire me. Judge the work yourself.
EUDR compliance — You understand what changed, what it means for your supply chain, and what to do before the deadline.
Carbon markets — You know which opportunities are real and which are greenwashing, before you commit money.
Forest investment — You see the valuations, ownership trends, and risks across European markets that don't show up in a broker's pitch.
Competitive intelligence — You find out what other countries and companies are doing, before they find out what you're doing.
The Butterfly Effect — You see how energy prices, shipping rates, construction cycles, and geopolitics cascade into your forest or portfolio. Nobody else connects these dots for European forestry.

Why this exists
Good advisors tell you what the data says. But who checks what the data misses?
After the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israeli intelligence created a rule. If nine analysts reach the same conclusion, the tenth must assume they're wrong — and investigate. Not to argue. But because consensus almost destroyed the country.
European forestry runs on consensus. We don't take any of it at face value.
We read the regulation in three languages. We check what the GPS actually does under a canopy. We talk to operators, auditors, and fund managers — not just the people writing the pitch decks.
Michael Burry didn't short the housing market with insider information. He read the mortgage bond prospectuses — thousands of pages nobody else bothered to open.
A ForestryBriefing adds a layer that doesn't exist anywhere else in forestry.
We go look.
One service. Applied to your problem
A ForestryBriefing is a private intelligence briefing. Tailored to your markets, your portfolio, your situation. The topic changes. The format doesn't: I connect dots others won't — across countries, languages, industries, and regulations — and deliver the analysis that matters for your specific decision.
Not a generic report. Not a newsletter repackaged. Intelligence built for you.
ForestryBriefing: Intelligence
What that covers depends on what you need:
→ Investment due diligence — before you sign, you know what the seller isn't telling you
→ Market intelligence — real prices, real transactions, real competitive positioning
→ Regulatory navigation — EUDR, CSRD, carbon credits, explained in plain language with your supply chain in mind
→ Cross-sector risk — how energy, shipping, construction, and policy shifts hit your specific exposure
→ Verification — independent OSINT and background checks in three languages, so nothing hides in translation
One example: When someone contacts us about a forest investment opportunity, we run a background check before the first call. Corporate registration. Regulatory licences. Beneficial ownership. Track record. More than once, this process has flagged proposals that looked professional on paper but had nothing verifiable behind them. That is what a ForestryBriefing catches before you write a cheque
ForestryBriefing: Communication
Forestry doesn't lose on facts. It loses on how it talks about them. Environmental groups hired journalists 30 years ago. The forestry sector hired engineers and hoped for the best. You know how that worked out.
What changes for you:
Your board gets a strategy they can actually follow — not a 90-page document nobody reads.
Your newsletter gets built and running — with a list that grows and content people open.
Your trade articles get published — in outlets your investors and partners actually read.
Your EUDR messaging makes sense — to regulators, clients, and your own team.
Your website says what you do — in language that makes people want to work with you, not click away.
All that in English, German, or Hungarian.
One example: Hungary's National Forestry Association commissioned us to write a comprehensive Forestry Communication Playbook — covering core messaging, crisis communication, staff training, and media relations. That is the kind of work we do: practical communication strategy built by someone who understands both forests and audiences.
ForestryBriefing: Live
Your audience leaves understanding something they didn't when they walked in.
I speak on European forestry intelligence, forest investment, carbon markets, EUDR compliance, and why forestry lost the public narrative.
In English, German, or Hungarian.
Next: WAN-IFRA World Printers Summit, Rotterdam, October 2026.
