Looking Back

The founder of DES, Bjorn Dahl, is originally from a small valley on the outskirts of Norway's largest lake, Mjøsa, in Gjøvik, Norway. There in the small valley called "Dahl", Bjorn's ancestors have managed the family's forest as a reproductive natural resource for serveral generations. The knowledge passed down to Bjorn, century old forestry techniques, combined with contemporary techniques learned in the United States, provides DES with exception diversity. Ask Bjorn about "Dahl" he would love to tell you about it!
