Forest Inventory with LiDAR: Minnesota's Approach

The November 2018 webinar in the Sustainable Forests Education Cooperative and University of Minnesota Extension Forestry Webinar Series.

Recorded on November 20, 2018
Speaker: Dennis Kepler, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources

Natural resource managers are increasingly turning to cutting-edge technologies for a less expensive and robust forest inventory. In northern Minnesota, a high density LiDAR-derived forest inventory project is underway across multiple ownerships. This webinar will discuss the methods, accuracy, and costs in implementing high density LiDAR in forest resource assessments at landscape scales.
