Improving the quality of forest inventory via remote sensing surveying techniques, especially aerial lidar, demonstrates a significant opportunity for FLS to: reduce uncertainty during sales negotiations; improve its planning processes; and achieve its environmental aims.

FLS has appointed a service provider to capture aerial lidar and photography data for an Area of Interest in the west of Scotland, to process the raw data, and to provide analysis-ready information in the form of terrain and forestry inventory models in GIS format. This time-sensitive piece of work builds on the work already completed as part of the Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) process and will be critical in informing a business case which considers national deployment. It will also allow FLS to build on its knowledge and understanding of lidar and avoid any gap in it's data sets.
