Annual Forestry Intelligence Program™
Helping timber companies, forestry consultancies, conservation organizations, carbon project developers, and government forestry agencies improve harvest planning, reduce wildfire risk, support conservation objectives, and make better resource management decisions through AI-powered aerial intelligence.
Industry Challenges
Traditional forest inventory samples only 2 to 5% of a stand using ground-based plot measurements and extrapolates to the full area, introducing real error into harvest planning and valuation decisions. Independent research comparing inventory methods found that while LiDAR costs more to capture than photo-interpretation, it produces significantly lower total cost once the economic losses from inventory error are accounted for the cheaper method up front is not the cheaper method overall.
CropCopters transforms forest inventory and monitoring into a proactive, data-driven intelligence program that scans 100% of the canopy instead of a small sampled fraction.
The CropCopters Solution
Our Annual Forestry Intelligence Program™ combines the DJI Matrice 400 RTK platform, Zenmuse L3 long-range LiDAR, and Zenmuse H30T thermal and RGB sensors with AI-assisted analytics and DJI Terra processing to deliver complete-canopy forest data — tree height, canopy structure, and timber volume from a single LiDAR dataset, alongside visual health and wildfire risk monitoring.
Whether managing timber harvest planning, wildfire risk mitigation, conservation areas, or reforestation projects, CropCopters delivers the intelligence needed to make confident, data-backed resource management decisions.
Included Intelligence Modules™
Every module below is priced by hectare, the standard forestry unit, with a 100-hectare baseline. Large-scale forest inventory, timber cruising, or carbon-project engagements (500 to 5,000+ hectares) receive custom volume-based pricing — at that scale, per-hectare economics shift substantially, and the reference pricing below would not reflect it accurately.
01
Forest Health Intelligence™
Starting From: CAD $2,495 (up to 100 ha; $1,550 capture + $945 AI audit & reporting; $30/ha beyond baseline)
Monitor visible canopy stress, dieback, and thermal stress signatures using RGB and thermal imagery to support biodiversity tracking and sustainable resource management.
03
Reforestation Monitoring Intelligence™
Starting From: CAD $2,495 (up to 100 ha; $1,550 capture + $945 AI audit & reporting; $30/ha beyond baseline)
Track replanted and regenerating areas over time to verify reforestation progress, seedling survival, and habitat rehabilitation for regulatory and carbon-project reporting.
05
Timber Inventory Intelligence™
Starting From: CAD $3,995 (up to 100 ha; $2,450 capture + $1,545 AI audit & reporting; separate Zenmuse L3 deployment; $45/ha beyond baseline)
Calculate tree height, volume, and density across 100% of the canopy using LiDAR, improving harvesting efficiency, resource planning, and financial forecasting accuracy over traditional 2-5% sample-based stand exams.
07
Species Classification Intelligence™
Starting From: CAD $2,995 (up to 100 ha; $1,850 capture + $1,145 AI audit & reporting; separate Zenmuse L3 deployment; $35/ha beyond baseline)
Apply AI-assisted structural analysis to LiDAR point clouds to support tree species identification and forest composition mapping.
09
Digital Twin Intelligence™
Starting From: CAD $4,995 per management unit ($3,000 LiDAR capture + $1,995 AI-assisted model generation)
Develop Digital Twins of forest stands that support long-term planning, growth modeling, and stakeholder reporting.
02
Wildfire Risk Intelligence™
Starting From: CAD $2,495 (up to 100 ha; $1,550 capture + $945 AI audit & reporting; $30/ha beyond baseline)
Identify high-risk fuel load areas and fire activity indicators using AI-assisted predictive monitoring to support disaster prevention and response planning.
04
Harvest Planning Intelligence™
Starting From: CAD $2,995 (up to 100 ha; $1,850 capture + $1,145 AI audit & reporting; $35/ha beyond baseline)
Support pre-harvest planning with terrain analysis, access route mapping, and block delineation to improve operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
06
Canopy Structure Intelligence™
Starting From: CAD $2,495 (up to 100 ha; $1,550 capture + $945 AI audit & reporting; separate Zenmuse L3 deployment; $30/ha beyond baseline)
Evaluate canopy coverage, closure, and forest structure using classified LiDAR returns that separate ground, understory, mid-story, and canopy layers, supporting ecological monitoring and land management planning.
08
LiDAR Intelligence™
Starting From: CAD $3,995 (up to 100 ha; $2,450 capture + $1,545 AI audit & reporting; separate Zenmuse L3 deployment; $45/ha beyond baseline)
Generate engineering-grade point clouds and terrain models beneath dense canopy for road construction planning, drainage analysis, and long-term forest management.
10
Emergency Response Intelligence™
Starting From: Custom Enterprise Pricing
Deploy rapid aerial intelligence following wildfires, storms, or blowdown events to support damage assessment and recovery planning.
Recommended Annual Program Packages
Tier pricing below is based on a 100-hectare reference block. Timber Inventory, Canopy Structure, Species Classification, and LiDAR Intelligence™ all draw from the same LiDAR flight and point cloud one deployment produces multiple deliverables, which is why Enterprise bundles them together rather than pricing each as a separate flight.
