Frequently Asked Questions

Do your polygon inventories meet government submission requirements?

Yes. ForestView® polygon inventories are aggregated from enhanced tree-level and stand-level data and formatted to meet provincial government submission standards. We have delivered government-accepted polygons across multiple jurisdictions in western Canada.

Can ForestView® integrate with our growth and yield (G&Y) models?

Yes. ForestView® products are designed for G&Y integration. Outputs include the stand-level attributes that G&Y models require — species composition, height, age, site index, and volume by product class. We can deliver in the format your modeling platform requires.
