Tree-level attributes across entire landbase
Enhanced harvest design planning
Detailed economic assessments
Biomass, carbon and biodiversity assessments
Forest Analytics and Estate Modeling
Forest estate modeling, growth and yield, GIS analysis of land base conditions, climate vulnerability, carbon, and economic analyses.
Forest management scenario modeling / optimization
Stand development forecasting including treatment responses
Assessment of non-timber values including wildlife habitat, old growth and carbon outcomes
Forest Operations
From block and road layout and steep-slope feasibility to cruising and appraisals and full-phase reforestation programs, our field teams execute safely and efficiently.
Optimized layouts to reduce costs and increase harvest efficiency
Accurate assessments for compliance and value
Effective reforestation and liability management

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.
Do you provide field services in my location?
Forsite operates across 9 provinces and 29 states through 15 offices in Canada and the United States. Whether your operations are in Canada, the US Pacific Northwest, or beyond, our field teams are positioned to support inventory, cruising, reforestation, and harvest supervision on the ground.
How accurate is your LiDAR-based forest inventory data?
ForestView® integrates LiDAR, aerial imagery, and ground plots to produce stand- and tree-level attributes with known error estimates — so you understand exactly what confidence to place in each data layer. This level of statistical transparency is built to hold up at timber supply reviews and for use in strategic planning, carbon reporting, and economic assessments.
Can Forsite support our carbon and climate objectives alongside traditional timber goals?
Yes. Our forest analytics and estate modeling capabilities include carbon assessments, climate vulnerability analysis, and biodiversity evaluations alongside standard growth and yield work. ForestView® delivers biomass and carbon metrics at the tree and stand level, and our planning team can model scenarios that balance timber supply with carbon and other non-timber values across your entire land base.
