Remote Sensing Forester Aaron Evans is pictured here using a phone-based LiDAR sensor in one of our research forests.

LiDAR is an invaluable tool in forestry, providing 3D imagery of forest structures, topography, streams, ground elevation, and more.

From measuring tree growth to planning harvests, remote sensing technology is transforming how we grow, manage, and sustain working forests.
