Forestry

Managing forested land—whether for timber, conservation, or long-term stewardship—requires accurate, up-to-date information across large and often hard-to-reach areas. Columbia Terrametrics provides high-resolution aerial mapping and expert analysis to help you monitor forest health, plan operations, and manage resources with precision.

Using drones equipped with RTK/GNSS positioning and multispectral imaging, we capture detailed data on canopy density, elevation, slope, and tree health—as well as accurate tree counts, even across rugged or remote terrain.

Our forestry reports help you:

  • Estimate tree count and density across stands for inventory, yield forecasting, or replanting needs

  • Track canopy coverage and gaps to guide thinning, assess growth, or evaluate storm damage

  • Detect early signs of disease, drought stress, or dieback before they’re visible from the ground

  • Analyze elevation and terrain features to plan roads, assess erosion risk, or manage water flow

  • Compare seasonal or annual changes to monitor growth, regeneration, or the effects of harvesting

We deliver clear reports and visuals—along with professional analysis and recommendations—so you can take action with confidence. Whether you’re managing a working forest, restoring a degraded stand, or monitoring conservation land, Columbia Terrametrics gives you the tools to make better, faster decisions from above.
