Harwell,
Tolko, a leading Canadian forest products company, wanted to explore how Rezatec's suite of satellite data forestry solutions could improve the accuracy of its existing forest inventory methods and ongoing monitoring capabilities. Rezatec has also previously worked with
Using satellite data combined with machine learning techniques, Rezatec can identify the presence and distribution of tree species across a forest, as well as calculate volumetric measurements such as tree height and mensuration. Due to the unique capabilities of satellite data, this can be conducted across very large areas and repeated regularly, to provide accurate, up-to-date inventory data and monitor changes over time.
As a result, Tolko is now able to take a more data-driven and informed approach to harvesting and road planning.
"We are really pleased with the results of this pilot and the capabilities that satellite data and Rezatec have demonstrated especially around scalability and frequency of updates," explained
Rezatec's forest management and monitoring solutions provide valuable insight to enable fully informed decisions to be made by owners and managers of forested land assets. To learn more, visit www.rezatec.com/forestry.
