Property line maps and parcel boundaries for timber harvest planning
GIS property line maps: the Forest is online
GPS and GIS location data and the forest
Timber as an industry touches our daily lives in ways we don’t consider. Our homes, our furniture, the paper we use and the packaging that makes worldwide shipping possible all rely on the intelligent, scientific management of our forests.
The days of indiscriminate timbering are long gone, thankfully replaced with harvesting plans with long time horizons, based on gps and gis data.
Parcel data and property mapping in timber harvest planning
Few industries regularly work far off the beaten path as often as timbering. Identifying property boundaries in remote areas is challenging. While a boundary survey may be necessary prior to actual forest harvesting, initial planning both in the office and in the field is now possible through a combination of GPS, GIS data and property boundary and ownership data overlays.
Forestry and Timber GIS tools: Property ownership and parcel maps
Identifying access roads, easements and protected areas early in the lumber harvest planning process can greatly reduce the time involved. Property boundaries and ownership data overlaid on desired areas makes the process of identification and contact much more efficient. In many areas, it’s possible for a timber professional to be in the field and have access to this information in real-time.
