Forest Surveys
BioForest staff has considerable knowledge and experience in designing and conducting aerial and ground surveys to detect, assess and monitor forest disturbances caused by insects, disease and abiotic factors. Each year BioForest conducts aerial surveys over some 20 million hectares of forest to detect and map forest damage. As well, our staff conducts Dutch elm disease surveys in 40-45 communities annually and surveys some 800 forest impact plots to assess stand condition. BioForest has conducted province-wide surveys in Ontario and Saskatchewan to forecast pest populations and has conducted surveys across southern Ontario to evaluate the incidence and impacts of Fomes root rot, a disease of mainly pines. BioForest services are available to a full range of clients including provincial and federal governments, forest industry, municipalities, cottage associations and private landowners.
