SKYFOREST solutions
The SKYFOREST® team delivers custom projects for forestry, carbon and climate based projects. Our solutions team has over 10 years experience in the development of groundbreaking geospatial and remote sensing technology. This provides a unique ability to manage and develop complex solutions solving real industry problems.
Our experience includes an intimate knowledge of identifying and leveraging tree species, height, timber volume, stand density, age, and terrain elevation for each 10m grid cell of a forest. By combining this with machine learning, Lidar and high cadence satellite technology, SKYFOREST enables organizations to make confident decisions to solve unique goals.

SKYFOREST Geospatial Solutions
SKYFOREST produces several data layers that can help you meet and exceed your forestry management needs.
Depletion mapping
SKYFOREST Depletion Mapping provides information from satellites to quickly elevate forest inventory depletion management and advance current and future workflow planning.
Digital terrain model
Developed from stereo imagery, at lower price than LiDAR, SKYFOREST digital terrain data covers millions of hectares to 5m grid cells.
Hardwood-softwood composition
Hardwood-softwood data provides fine-grained, accurate and high-resolution data to differentiate between species.
Timber volume
SKYFOREST has detailed information on timber volume, broken down by species or hardwood-softwood composition, in 20m grid cells.
Canopy heights
Canopy height data from00 offers high-resolution information to identify productive stands and wood that meets your mill’s needs.
Skystands
SKYSTANDS delineates forest stands consistently, accurately, and quickly.
Species identification
Tree species data at the forest stand, substand, block, or 10m grid cell level.
Crown coverage
Determine the density of forest stands with SKYFOREST Crown coverage.

SkyForest integrates several data layers to produce the most advanced risk exposure layer in Canada.
Human life, homes, businesses and critical infrastructure are under threat. SkyForest has developed 6 cross Canada data layers that combine to create the most comprehensive fire risk map in Canada.
Canopy Height Model
The CHM (Canopy Height Model) provides an estimate of the height of both forest canopies and non-forest land cover types.
Distance to Hazardous Fuel
The distance to hazardous fuel refers to the straight-line distance in meters to locations with a medium or high fuel hazard.
Exposure
Exposure quantifies the potential for an asset situated at a point of interest (POI) to be affected by hazards generated by wildfires, including flames, radiant heat, and embers. It is determined by the fuel hazard near the POI and takes into account the surrounding slopes and their respective azimuths.
Fuel Hazard
Fuel hazard denotes the level of wildfire risk attributed to the presence of specific forest and non-forest fuel types. This hazard is linked to the potential intensity of a fire and its rate of spread upon ignition. Ratings for fuel hazard are categorized as: nil, low, medium, and high.
Fuel Type
Fuel types categorize forests and other combustible land cover types based on the specific type of wildfire fuel present in a given location. This classification is determined by factors such as vegetation type (e.g., grassland or forest), composition (e.g., percentage of conifer trees), and vegetation structure (e.g., height of the forest). FRMG utilizes the classification system outlined in the Wildland-Urban Interface guide.
Percent Softwood Basal Area
The PCBA (Percent Conifer Basal Area) represents the proportion of coniferous trees in a forest canopy. This is determined by considering both the species type and the size of the tree, indicated by its basal area – the area of the trunk’s horizontal cross-section.
The SKYFOREST Difference
Our 20M resolution provides the ability to make accurate and informed decisions on wildfire threat. Because our data is Canada-wide you’ll get consistent and measurable results whether you’re looking at data in British Columbia, New Brunswick or Quebec.
