Forest Solutions Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.

To truly 💞 embrace sustainability 💞 , one must first believe in it and nurture a genuine love for it. Loving it means understanding it, and understanding begins with education. With this belief at the heart of our work, we are deeply grateful to Headmaster Mr. Joshua AK Meling of SK Binsulung, Paitan, for inviting us to share the principles of sustainability—not just with his students but also with teachers and parents in the community. The two-day event in early November provided Forest Solutions with a meaningful opportunity to connect with over 400 participants. Through interactive exhibits, educational games, and hands-on activities where children learned through play, we covered vital topics such as environmental awareness, sustainable forest management, and industrial tree plantations. The event culminated in a tree-planting session—a symbolic step toward a greener future. The response was both encouraging and inspiring. Students were curious, engaged, and full of thoughtful questions about the environment. Parents and teachers showed genuine interest in the topics discussed, highlighting the importance of fostering sustainability across generations. Under Mr. Joshua’s leadership, SK Binsulung has become a shining example of how schools can nurture a love for sustainability within their communities. A common question raised during the event was the choice of Eucalyptus pellita for planting—a topic we gladly addressed, which can also be explored further in this link: https://lnkd.in/gA_KQvyx For our team, it was two days of hard work but also immense fulfilment. We left tired yet recharged by the energy and enthusiasm of everyone involved. Events like this remind us of the impact we can make together, and we look forward to continuing to build connections that promote sustainability, and environmental stewardship. #ForestSolutionsMalaysia #SustainabilityInAction #CommunityEngagement #Conservation #EnvironmentalStewardship

Last week, 🇲🇾 Forest Solutions 🇲🇾 was happy to host a delegation of Finnish forestry experts in Sabah. What stood out most was how 🇫🇮 Finland 🇫🇮 , despite being a small country, has cultivated one of the world’s most successful timber plantation industries—demonstrating how a nation can truly punch above its weight through technological innovation and a commitment to sustainability. Throughout the visit, there were lively discussions on everything from sustainable forestry practices to the cutting-edge technologies driving the future of the industry. One memorable moment came when a Finnish delegate shared how forests in Finland are treated like family legacies—nurtured and cared for across generations. This deeply resonated with us, as we too believe that sustainable forestry is not just about the present but about securing a future for the next generation. The exchange of ideas, experiences, and expertise was truly energizing. Beyond the formalities, the real value came from the connections formed and the shared passion for growing the planted forest industry and managing our forests responsibly. These conversations reaffirmed the global nature of the challenges we face and the importance of collaboration in finding solutions. We are excited by the opportunities that have arisen from this visit and look forward to continuing these conversations with fellow forestry counterparts. Together, we are working toward a more sustainable future for forestry.

While we have received applause for embracing drone technologies, there are still areas in forest management where hands-on approaches remain irreplaceable. In the steep and rugged terrain of AFCS Nibang, tractors and heavy machinery just aren’t feasible yet. Instead, we rely on the age-old method of hand-planting, where each tree is carefully placed using a Sandak. In these tough conditions, our skilled planters can plant over 350 trees a day. Like machine operators elsewhere, our team finds a rhythm, ensuring each tree is correctly spaced and securely planted. With seedling buckets on their backs, they choose the best spot for each seedling, prepare the soil, and dig holes to precise measurements (25 cm x 25 cm, 20 cm deep). The seedlings are gently removed from their tubes by the root collar, then placed upright 2 cm above it in the center of the hole, ensuring topsoil covers them properly for the best chance of survival. Forestry isn’t just about growing trees; it’s about creating jobs and supporting rural communities, helping sustain both the forests and the livelihoods of those who call these areas home. As we move forward, we’ll keep blending new technology with traditional skills to ensure our forests—and communities—thrive together. #ForestSolutions #SustainableForestry

We’re excited to share some early insights on our use of drone technology for pre-plant spraying at Forest Solutions. It’s been a game changer for us, not just in terms of efficiency but also in significant cost savings. Here’s a quick breakdown: 💰 Cost Savings: We've reduced costs by 28% compared to traditional methods. ⚙️ Operational Efficiency: At this early stage, we found the drone operation itself is 83% more cost-effective than relying on contractors. Beyond the numbers, the potential is promising. Currently, our drones cover around 5 hectares per hour, or 30 hectares per day over a 6-hour workday. While we're making great strides, we’re also keeping a close eye on factors like battery life, flying time, and productivity in more challenging terrains. We’re just getting started, but the future looks bright as we explore how technology can further enhance our practices. Looking forward to sharing more as we continue this journey! #InnovationInAction #DroneTechnology #SustainablePractices #Efficiency #ForestSolutions

With Malaysia's Independence Day and Sabah Day just around the corner, we asked our team what 🇲🇾"Merdeka"🇲🇾 means to them. Harold shared, “For me, Merdeka is about moving forward with purpose and unity. 'Berat sama dipikul, ringan sama dijinjing.' It’s about all of us taking responsibility for progress, especially in sustainable forestry.” Rino added, "We’re not just working with the land; we’re shaping the future, driving Sabah’s economy through sustainable industrial tree plantations." Millian expressed her gratitude for the rich resources in Sabah and hopes that all Sabahans and Malaysians will embrace a sustainable future. 🇲🇾🌞 Selamat Hari Merdeka & Happy Sabah Day!🌞 🇲🇾 Let’s keep growing and caring for our beautiful Sabah and Malaysia.

Big news at Forest Solutions! We’ve officially started using drone technology for our chemical spraying operations, and we’re already seeing some incredible results. 🚁 Our team recently completed a week-long piloting training, and they’re all geared up and excited to embrace this new addition to the company. This is a major step forward for us as we continue to innovate and find smarter, more efficient ways to manage our operations. As we dive into this new venture, we’re asking ourselves some key questions: Is it worth the heavy capital investment? How much more efficient can we really get? Will this technology help us reduce costs and improve precision? The answers will shape the future of our operations, and we can’t wait to share what we discover. At Forest Solutions, 🍀 People. Technology. Trees. 🍀  isn’t just a tagline—it’s who we are. This new chapter with drone technology embodies our commitment to all three, and we’re excited to take you along on this journey.
