SkyForest™enables forest managers, both industry and government, to quickly and inexpensively answer many important inventory questions that are harder, more expensive, or too time-consuming to answer through traditional inventory methods. For example:
For woodlands managers, the pressure to reduce costs and deliver the right product to the right mill on time is intense. Knowing the details of your forest inventory can make all of the difference to your profitability. SkyForest™ can make that difference. Using aerial and satellite imagery, SkyForest™ will deliver GIS layers and operational reports on hardwood/softwood composition, terrain, canopy height and volume. And all of that data adds up to lower costs!
SkyForest™ is a patented new remote sensing technology developed jointly by First Resource Management Group Inc. and leading scientists. (US patent 10,095,995 B2. Canadian patent 2,930,989).
SkyForest™ data is classified to meet mill requirements according to species mix, volume, canopy height and terrain into dozens of classes to create SkyStands-a convenient tool for woodlands managers and logging personnel in a more classical mapping format.
