Aerial work
Aerial surveying
Airborne precision for better planning – fast, gentle and accurate.
Overview
Better decisions from the air
Using a helicopter for forest and game surveys saves both time and resources, while the decision base becomes more complete. The result is more effective and sustainable management of forest and game.
Forest surveys
Forest surveying is an important tool for forest owners across Sweden. With a helicopter, large forest areas can be surveyed quickly, efficiently and with high precision. From the air it is easier to identify pest damage, ground impact and to follow up newly planted areas.
The helicopter's ability to cover long distances in a short time provides a clear overview and complements ground-based surveys. Deviations and patterns that are otherwise hard to detect stand out clearly.
Clearing inventory
In spring we carry out clearing inventories where the helicopter is an effective support. The survey collects data on stem counts, moose damage and the scope of clearing needs.
The information is used as decision support when planning upcoming clearing work and contributes to a more structured, cost-efficient and sustainable forest management.
Game surveys
The helicopter is also a valuable tool for game surveys. From the air, populations can be mapped quickly and reliably, with a good overview of both numbers and movement patterns.
The collected data is an important basis for wildlife management, hunting planning and long-term ecosystem stewardship.
Moose surveys
Moose surveys from a helicopter give an efficient and reliable basis for assessing the moose population's size, composition and distribution. From the air, large areas can be covered in a short time, giving a more complete picture than ground-based methods alone.
The method makes it possible to identify concentrations of animals, follow movement patterns and detect grazing pressure on the forest. The information is used as decision support in moose management, when allocating hunting quotas and to balance game and forest.
