While technology can’t do much to alleviate those challenges, it can certainly come in handy with other aspects of the job, and one tool in particular has proven to be of huge benefit. By using GIS for forestry, managing our trees can become much more, well, manageable. With GIS, foresters can create custom databases to store information on health, density, and any other data the professional wishes to gather on a forest. Once uploaded to the database, this information can then be used to track changes over time and make a plan to care for the trees moving forward.
