Successful drone workflows for forestry applicatio

Successful drone workflows for forestry applications 💯🌲 ➡️ Road as-built QA/QC – our drones allow for accurate measurement and inspection of roads during/following construction, including cut and fill slopes.
➡️ Visual Impact Assessments (VIAs) – drones have become a useful tool for VIA photos that are required in areas that traditionally require a boat to access, or require a long hike.
➡️ Free growing survey support – the use of drones for free growing surveys has become an established support tool. This can save time, provide a unique perspective and provide field photos.
➡️ Small scale salvage reconnaissance – difficult terrain that used to take days to recce, now takes hours with our drones. This allows for valuable cedar salvage pockets to be identified (for example) without extensive hiking or helicopter time.
➡️ Canopy height updates – the ability to generate a point cloud with top-of-canopy heights from photogrammetry. This assists with forest and vegetation management, especially in between years of LiDAR capture.
➡️ Forest health mapping – early detection and quantification of problem areas within a stand (with multispectral data), which in many cases can lead to positive outcomes and cost savings.
➡️ Waste and Residue surveys – automated pile counts and volume calculations are now possible and can add efficiency to W&R surveys in BC.
➡️ Forest inventories and timber typing – high resolution RPAS imagery combined with classification techniques improves forest inventory workflows and saves time on the ground for our crews.

Our RPAS Program Lead Mike Morellato had the pleas

Our RPAS Program Lead Mike Morellato had the pleasure of instructing another course at North Island College recently. 🏫 It was focused on Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems,
including practical flight training, Basic drone certification prep and an introduction to added value applications such as mapping and photogrammetry. Are you looking to get certified or build out your own drone program? 📝 Give us a ring and we can chat!

I think there's a better route through the bush here... but let's scout with the drone first! 👀

Looking at areas to plant within an old burn zone. 🌲 ⛰️
Remotely Piloted Aircraft are a great tool for this in steep areas, saving our crews time scouting the site.

Are you looking to update your existing LiDAR data

Are you looking to update your existing LiDAR data, or capture more to detect changes over time? Frequency, density and affordability are three advantages to drone-based LiDAR for many types of project sites. We can also capture imagery for your site in addition to the LiDAR, which gives you even more actionable data. Give us a shout to learn more! #LiDAR #drones #RPAS #SNRC #StrategicUAV #Strategic #pointcloud #CHM #topo #contours #volumes #efficiency

A trip behind the scenes at one of our recent mapping missions, where our drone captured about 550 photos along a branch of the Nimpkish River. We stitched it into an orthophoto mosaic so that comparisons to historical imagery could be made and measurements taken. #SNRC #StrategicUAV #RPAS #mapping #SfM #forestry #Strategic #logjam #Woss #photogrammetry

In the world of drone mapping, sometimes staging isn't as easy as stopping the truck and setting up the drone. Other times you check for the low tide and work with the rocky shoreline that is at your disposal! ⁣

Plenty of hand takeoffs and catch landings recently from vessels... this pic was from drone ops during our spill response in Nootka Sound #SNRC #westcoast #RPAS #drone #Strategic #Nootka #spillresponse #surveillance #dronegear

It was great to head into Carihi Secondary recently and discuss drones with the forestry students there, and then head into the field for a demo with multirotor and fixed wing drones. Extra tools for their future endeavors #Carihi #forestry #RPAS #drones #Strategic #SNRC #CampbellRiver #fieldtech
