Forest Inventory Group is set-up with GPS units and surveying software to allow us to make detailed vegetation type maps or run approximate property lines. Although we are not a licensed land surveyor, we can do the preparation work required by surveyors to run property lines, such as cadastral research, corner location, approximate acreage determination, etc…

A timberland owner requiring reconnaissance-level timber inventory data for 100 polygons would normally be required to do a 10% cruise of the area; or complete enough cruise plots in each of the 10 of the polygons to achieve a standard error of 12% or less. The volumes for the remaining 90 polygons would be the averages of volumes determined for similar polygons of the 10 cruised. Rates of work production assumptions include: 16 plots per man-day, average round trip distance of 80 miles, and use of quad runners half the time.
