Operational analytics for UK forestry & land management

LiDAR • Multispectral • Thermal • RGB photogrammetry (2D/3D & point clouds).

We integrate four data sources: LiDAR • Multispectral • Thermal • RGB Photogrammetry.
Drone LiDAR survey over mixed woodland canopy

Nursery Analytics

Counts, A/B/C grading, sapling & average bed heights, split-stem rate.

Restocking & Survival

Tree/survival counts, heatmaps, species/age summaries.

Environmental & Carbon

CHM, structure metrics, hedgerow mapping, NDVI/thermal anomalies.

Land & Utility Surveys

DTM/DSM, boundaries/access, wildlife corridor checks.

How it works

Plan

Scope, airspace & risk checks, and flight plan. We confirm permissions & dates around weather.

Fly

LiDAR + multispectral + thermal + RGB. CAA-compliant operations and on-site safety management.

Process

Point clouds, CHM, NDVI/thermal mosaics, species/age summaries, and QA validation.

Publish

PDF/DOCX packs, GeoTIFF/GeoPackage layers, and a simple QGIS project for easy viewing.

What you get

Deliverables

  • Client report (PDF/DOCX) with clear KPIs
  • GIS layers (GeoTIFF/GeoPackage) ready for QGIS
  • CSV summaries for blocks/beats & species/age
  • QGIS project file for one-click preview

Accuracy & QA

  • Coverage ≥ 95%, alignment RMSE < 0.20 m
  • LiDAR density ≥ 80 pts/m²
  • CHM ≥ 0.20 m OR NDVI ≥ 0.20 OR ΔT normal (survival rule)
  • CRS: EPSG:27700 (British National Grid)

Safety & Compliance

  • CAA-controlled operations; Pilot in Command has final say
  • Operator ID: GBR-OP-K3GKP2JCP5DJ
  • Risk assessments, site briefing & on-site cordon
  • Battery & data handling procedures (ESG-aligned)

Who we work with

Nurseries

Counts, grading & bed metrics for stock planning.

Forest owners

Restocking & survival, density/heat maps & block summaries.

Estates & land managers

Condition baselines, access & boundaries, wildlife corridors.

Utilities & infra

DTM/DSM, encroachment & structure checks for corridors.
