Arboreal recently hosted an exciting tree measuring competition at SkogsNolia, and the results were nothing short of impressive!

Pinpoint Accuracy Wins the Day

The highlight of the event was our winner, Åke, who managed to measure the tree's height with incredible precision. The actual height? 15.002 meters. And Åke nailed it to the millimeter!

Congratulations, Åke! Your remarkable accuracy has earned you a chainsaw from Stihl. We'll be contacting you via email with more details about your prize.

Sweden's Most Measured Tree

The competition drew an overwhelming response, with over 500 people participating in measuring the tree. This enthusiastic turnout has earned our competition tree a unique title - it's now officially the most measured tree in Sweden!

See the Action for Yourself

Curious about how the competition unfolded? We've got you covered! We've prepared a video showcasing the highlights of the competition, including the exciting moment when we felled the tree for the final measurement verification.

The video captures the buzz of the competition, the participants in action, and the climactic moment when we revealed the true height of the tree. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in forestry, measurement techniques, or just enjoying a bit of friendly competition.

Looking Ahead

Events like these not only bring the forestry community together but also highlight the importance of accurate measurements in forest management. At Arboreal, we're committed to advancing the field of forestry through technology and community engagement.

Stay tuned for more events and innovations from Arboreal. Who knows? You might be our next precision measurement champion!

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a resounding success. Here's to pushing the boundaries of precision in forestry!

When we launched, this app was called Arboreal Tree Height. We dropped that last word a while ago — here's everything else that's in there. A new tutorial for the iOS version walks through diameter, circumference, crown shape, crown width and height, and how to measure a tree you can't even get close to. Under three minutes.

For two decades, recognising a log from the features it already carries — no tag, no paint, no barcode — was a research problem. It's now mature enough to deploy. Here's how the field got here, and what it took to turn it into a working service.
