A conversation worth having from inside our own industry. 🌲
Timber is our livelihood. It supports businesses, jobs, families and regions across Latvia -including ours.

That is exactly why we believe the long-term health of the forests behind that economy matters just as much as the volumes we produce today.

Agnese Abolina has written a personal reflection on Latvia’s forest debate - looking beyond the familiar opposition of production versus protection and asking what else we might need to measure if we want both a strong forest economy and resilient forests for generations to come.

We do not pretend there are simple answers. Forestry is complex, different sites require different approaches, and economic realities cannot simply be wished away.

But one question is worth keeping in front of us:
What kind of forest system are today’s decisions creating for the next 50 or 100 years?

For a company whose work begins with wood, this is not a discussion outside our business. It is part of thinking seriously about its future.

From sacred groves to timber flows, Latvia has always known that forests are more than volume. Can our accounting remember that? My grandfather spent 48 years in Latvian forestry.

🌲 What can systems thinking bring to the timber industry?

Our work at Hansa Timber Trade is practical: products, production, packaging, logistics and long-term customer relationships.

But every timber product also belongs to a much larger system—connecting forests, people, regional economies, markets and ecological processes.

In a new interview with the Systemic Cycles community, Agnese Āboliņa, who works with Hansa Timber Trade in brand, communication and business development, reflects on learning to stay with this complexity rather than rushing towards simple answers.

Coming from a family connected to Latvian forestry and timber production for several generations, she speaks about understanding both the economic importance of the sector and the need for ecological regeneration.

One of the central lessons is deceptively simple:

Before asking how to fix a system, we first need to learn how to see it.

That means slowing down, observing relationships, listening to different perspectives and asking better questions about the effects of our decisions.

For us, this is also relevant to business. Long-term resilience does not come from looking only at the next order or production cycle. It comes from understanding the wider system on which the business depends—and recognising our own role within it.

Thank you to Systemic Cycles and the MonViso Institute for creating space for this learning and conversation.

Gaisma iedegta un dzērves ir klāt! 𓅥

Tuvojoties gada tumšākajai dienai, mūsu Bauskas un Vecumnieku zāģētavās līdzās mirdzošajām lampiņām sētā ienāk arī senie ziemas spēka simboli. No palešu dēļiem, kokmateriālu atgriezumiem un bērziņiem esam radījuši dzērves – auglībai, pārticībai un gudrai virzībai. Palīdzot saulei atgriezties, rotājam stūrīšus un kaktiņus ar saulītēm, ar ķistiem.!

Tas ir piepildījums, vienkāršs, silts prieks un pateicība mežam, vietai un cilvēkiem, ar ko mēs strādājam!

Kaladū! ✨
