DGA Forestry can provide a comprehensive suite of aerial services to our clients utilising our own UAV (drone) platform. In forestry a birds eye view can prove invaluable and the use of the drone enables us to quickly cover large survey areas in great detail, often highlighting features that may be missed on the ground, such as diseased trees or pockets of wind blow. We can reach previously inaccessible locations and provide accurate and up to date information to feed back into forest inventories. The drone can be used for:
- Condition surveys
- Visual crop inspection
- Ortho-rectified, geo-referenced aerial photography for use in GIS software
- Ground preparation inspection
- 3d digital modelling
- Media for sales/marketing
DGA Forestry drone operators have undertaken training by a recognised NQE and hold permission from the CAA for commercial work.
