Natural History Pub: Monitoring the Forest from the Sky

Since 1947, the U.S. Forest Service has employed aircraft to study Oregon and Washington’s forests from the sky. These aerial detection surveys show the forests’ overall health, including the presence of diseases and insects. Hear from Daniel DePinte, Aerial Survey Program Manager for the Pacific Northwest Region, to learn about the newest survey technologies and what this eye-in-the-sky approach can tell us about the past and future of our forests.
