From tracking invasive species to detecting fires, drones are formidable tools for nearly every aspect of forestry and land management.

The use of Drones in Forestry & Land Management

In the whitepaper: ‘The Future of Drone Surveillance’, Draganfly look at the role of drones in sustainable land management by delivering rapid data that is both high-quality and economical.

With ongoing innovations in sensing and processing technologies, drone usage across forestry applications is anticipated to continue.

Forestry and land management applications include:

  • Biomass analysis
  • 3D Mapping
  • Mapping diseases
  • Classifying species
  • Precision forestry
  • Fire Management
  • Timber evaluation
  • Pest Outbreaks
  • Large-area Seeding
  • Forest governance
  • Tracking deforestation

The key benefits of using drones in land management include fewer in-person assessments, which are often required in hard to access regions, as well as reducing resources, energy consumption and data acquisition times, which in turn increase efficiency and reduce costs.
