Like a potent robot of convenience and sheer proficiency, drone technology caters to the wide operations of the forest ecosystem to help maintain the balance of biodiversity. Reinforcing the virtues of nature, drone application in forestry has widened the scope of improvement, and the prospect of advancements throughout.
Drones have been utilized for monitoring prescribed fire using videography and thermal imaging, as well as evaluating the forest post-fire (Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 2021). Drones are also being used to assess plant health, wildlife damage, and damages after natural disasters. Learn more about how they are being used in forestry in this Webinar.
