- Forest owners, managers, operators, and forestry experts
- Worth noticing
- Reports can include tree positions, volume estimates, terrain-under-canopy maps, and GIS-compatible files; timber quality still requires ground inspection.
Field notes
The workflow begins with a parcel description, followed by a flight-feasibility check and detailed quote; permissions, weather, and scheduling shape the field visit. A half- to full-day survey includes ground checks, and the resulting report can include GIS-compatible files. The site gives four to eight weeks as the usual end-to-end estimate, while stressing that LiDAR estimates do not establish timber quality or value.
