Reforestation Efforts
Regardless of whether you’re in the non-profit (conservation) or for-profit sector, reforestation is essential within forestry to ensure sustainable business practices and healthy output. Rather than spending months walking the forest, workers can use a drone to survey the area and remain within regulation by the Forest Stewardship Council. This aerial view provides an in-depth look at the space and can be used to identify riparian gaps or erosion and perform stand counts. One nature group and DroneDeploy.org partner uses the tool to create detailed maps to aid in the reforestation effort of Minnesota’s North Shore, pinpointing thin spots and using this information to boost wildlife populations.
