Overview

High-Resolution Forest Insights for Smarter Stewardship Gain a 360° view of forest landscapes with Enviro Forest’s LiDAR-Based Forest Structure Mapping Systems. Leveraging advanced LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, these systems generate high-resolution 3D models of canopy density, terrain contours, and understory vegetation—providing forestry professionals with powerful data for biomass estimation, habitat analysis, and topographic mapping. Integrated with cloud-based analytics platforms, our mapping systems allow users to visualize, interpret, and act on forest data with greater precision and speed. Whether you’re managing wildfire risk, planning sustainable harvests, or conserving habitats, our solutions offer the accuracy and scalability you need for long-term forest planning.

Case Studies

Oregon, USA – Wildfire Risk Mapping in the Cascade Range

Using our LiDAR system, a state forestry agency conducted detailed canopy and terrain mapping across 150,000 acres in wildfire-prone regions. The data improved evacuation route planning, identified fuel-heavy zones, and informed fire mitigation policies

Vermont, USA – Sustainable Harvest Planning

A private timber company in Vermont integrated Enviro Forest’s mapping systems to calculate tree volumes across multiple plots. Our tools helped reduce overharvesting by 27%, improving yield prediction and forest health

British Columbia, Canada – Wildlife Habitat Characterization

In collaboration with a conservation group, our LiDAR systems were deployed in old-growth forests to model critical habitats for endangered species. The 3D mapping facilitated successful policy lobbying for habitat protection and informed reforestation plans
