For timberland owners and forest managers across the world, accurately monitoring the depletion process is crucial to day-to-day operations (e.g., boundary inspections, environmental assessments or competitive vegetation mapping).

Today’s ecosystem for acquiring recent, high-resolution imagery is fragmented and cumbersome. However, with Planet’s sub-1m, multispectral imagery, timber stakeholders can focus their efforts on analyzing and utilizing data not just acquiring it.
