Forestry
Fortifying Against Wildfire Challenges
The 2023 wildfire season in Canada remains a stark reminder of nature’s power. With 18.5 million hectares of Canadian land engulfed by flames, surpassing the previous record of 7.6 million hectares set in 1989, the escalating risks to our forests due to environmental changes demand immediate action. In forestry, wildfire risk management is paramount, given the increasing scale, frequency, and severity of such events.
The SkyForest platform provides forestry companies to run wildfire exposure scenarios on lumber operations facilities, assets in the field and cutting blocks. SkyForest will provide comprehensive exposure risk to plan and protect against the threat of wildfire.
SkyForest’s solutions align with our commitment to protecting the forestry industry’s supply chain, minimizing forest resource loss, and sustaining our ecology.
