Solutions / Forestry & forest monitoring
Keep observations, management boundaries and field findings in one review. Acquire forest data on its own, investigate changes with AI assistance, or create a custom app your inspection team can use directly.
Explore a workflow for this industry. The app preview uses illustrative data; contact us to discuss your own sites, requirements and access.
The work you need to do
Specify the compartments, dates and canopy detail you need. Compare available archive observations, new collection offers and suitable elevation or survey products.
A data package matched to forest units
Bring suitable alerts and source observations alongside harvest plans and incident records. Sort locations for review while distinguishing confirmed findings from unresolved signals.
A disturbance review list with supporting observations
Use suitable height data and field plots to compare structural characteristics. Keep survey dates and the areas actually sampled visible in the result.
Canopy comparisons for management and field assessment
01 / Acquire the data
Start with any forest location and define the coverage your work requires. The suitable source depends on canopy detail, seasonal conditions and available collection options.
Just need the data? Acquiring it is a complete outcome. Use delivered files in your own tools where the license permits, or continue with analysis and apps in Milkypad.
02 / Run your own analysis
Combine appropriate observations with management records so the team can review changes without rebuilding the same maps for every compartment.
Add forest units, known operations and reported incidents. Describe the kind of change you want to investigate and the relevant period.
Select suitable imagery or existing disturbance products. Review capture dates, coverage and known gaps before comparing the selected forest units.
Inspect possible change beside harvest records and earlier observations. Separate locations needing inspection from explained events and areas lacking usable evidence.
Prepare a field list or reporting map. Record inspection findings and retain the same review criteria for the next round.
03 / Build and customize your app
A proposed app linking forest compartments, observed changes and inspection records for recurring management reviews.
Explore a prepared example
01 / Data inputs
Define forest compartments and useful observation dates. The request can include imagery, suitable radar products or height information.
02 / Review a layer
The warm area illustrates a possible disturbance. Compare the source observations with harvest plans and field evidence before attributing a cause.
03 / Use an app
A review app keeps candidate changes and inspection findings beside the forest map, with a clear next action for each unit.
Prepared scenes and records show how a workflow could look. These are illustrative locations and layers, with no live data or analysis.
Build an app to review forest changes by compartment. Link before-and-after observations to harvest records, inspection notes and an exportable follow-up list.
Describe the tool and the changes you need in ordinary language. The AI assistant helps build it; colleagues use the resulting maps, tables, and controls without writing code.

Use the result with context
A disturbance signal can reflect harvest, fire, seasonal effects or another event. Inspect the original observations and field evidence before assigning a cause. Broad canopy products do not assess every tree or establish whether an activity was legal.
Questions for your workflow
You can define a request anywhere on Earth. Actual coverage, product rights and collection feasibility are checked for that location before an order.
Radar can provide useful observations through cloud, but it measures a different response. Viewing geometry, terrain and method suitability still require review.
Bring compartment boundaries, operations records and inspection findings into the brief. Ask the assistant to connect those records to the maps and review controls you need.
