This tool is…

☐ a new tool

⊠ an improved tool

What are the vision & mission statement?

Through the use of satellite images and high-resolution airborne LiDAR, new and improved layout will be generated to better a) define the configuration and state of the landscapes vegetation and b) evaluate fuel and other relevant metrics as forest structure, post-fire recovery, status of forest tracks or configuration of WUIs.

When will it be complete?

Mid 2024
