Manual Forest Surveys come with Safety Risks
Manual forest surveys demand significant field crew resources. Steep terrain, dense underbrush, and remote locations add weeks of work to cover a single management area. Safety protocols and weather delays extend timelines further.
After all that effort and risk, you're still reliant on a sample to extrapolate block-level statistics.
Operations directors understand this tradeoff well. The safety risks are real and documented, the time costs are measurable, and the coverage limitations are a structural feature of the methodology itself.
Traditional ground-based sampling requires putting crews in hard-to-reach locations, and that carries operational costs that go well beyond the budget line items.
That's why Flash Forest has launched Forestry Intelligence Service.
