■Finland, a Forestry Powerhouse with World-Class High-Performance Forestry Machinery Manufacturers Finland boasts abundant forest resources, earning it the nickname "Forest Country," with 70% of its land covered in forests. To capitalize on these resources, over 30 world-class high-performance forestry machinery manufacturers are leveraging these resources. Finland's forestry industry, which accounts for approximately 18% of total exports, recognizes forestry as a crucial industry for environmental protection and sustainable industrial development. Finland is promoting a transition to a diverse bioeconomy, including traditional forestry, in the forestry sector. This is also linked to the nation's sustainable development. Well-managed forests can continuously provide society with the goods and services it needs for generations. Let's delve into the forest world of Finland, a forestry powerhouse, a country where all citizens have the right to freely enjoy and enjoy forests. ■ Oregon, USA: Revitalizing the Regional Economy through Local Wood The United States, with forests covering approximately 33% of its land area (approximately 330 million hectares), is one of the world's top three forestry nations. In particular, Oregon, located in the Pacific Northwest, boasts approximately 50% forest cover. Forestry and wood products have a significant impact on Oregon's local employment and economy. Furthermore, the United States fosters local forestry by mandating the use of "local wood" within a 480-kilometer radius for wooden structures, as demonstrated by the remodeling of Portland International Airport. We explore the potential of Korean forestry through the example of the United States, which is revitalizing the timber industry through high-performance forestry machinery even in rugged terrain similar to ours. ■ Paulownia Forest: A Treasure in Lankao County, China Paulownia is a very ancient tree native to Northeast Asia. It is so familiar that in Korea, there is a saying that families plant a Paulownia tree for daughters and then make furniture out of it for their daughters when they marry. In particular, Lankao County in Henan Province, where the Yellow River flows through, was historically considered a very underdeveloped and impoverished region due to sandstorms and floods. However, to overcome these challenges, it planted paulownia trees to protect itself from natural disasters and, by utilizing paulownia, emerged as China's leading producer of traditional musical instruments. The Lankao County Paulownia Forest is now known as the home of paulownia in modern China. The success of the Lankao County Paulownia plantation has attracted the attention of EU countries, including Germany and Spain, and interest in and research on paulownia are reportedly growing. Lancao County, which produces expensive traditional Chinese musical instruments using processed paulownia, is also suggesting the future of forestry through planting and processing. ■Rediscovering Wood: A Look at the Potential of Korean Forests Baekisan Cypress Forest in Jeollanam-do, designated as one of Korea's Top 100 Forests CEO Seo Seung-wook has cultivated the forest for three generations and established a comprehensive management system that integrates planting, lumber, and products. He is becoming a successful forester through forest management and tree harvesting every year. Let's explore the forests of Korea, which have overcome the limitations of domestic wood, which has lost its price competitiveness to imported wood, and are creating a success story with their own processed products. Architect Bae Ki-cheol presents beautiful wood architecture using domestic wood. Due to his love of forests and trees, Bae Ki-cheol, who received training as a forest interpreter and pursued the beauty of wood architecture, believes that "wood is an honest, simple, and unadorned material." He recently demonstrated this beauty through the interior of Seoul National University's Haedong Hall using wood. Recognized as a prime example of sustainable wood construction technology and eco-friendly design, Bae Ki-cheol, who wanted to reflect the cultural heritage of wood architecture in Korea, explores the potential of wood architecture using Korean trees. ※ This video is from [DocuOn - A Future We Share with the Forest Civilization], which aired on October 18, 2025. #Forest #Trees #Energy This is the official KBS documentary channel.
