Modern tools help us collect data from the forest. In terrestrial laser scanning, navigating the scanned areas of the plot can be checked afterwards on a map and a 3D-scene to ensure that the planned trees are visible in the image. But the GPS track can get lost and we need to correct the position.

Our EFINET report led by Gherardo Chirici, Gert-Jan Nabuurs and myself was just launched by European Forest Institute. Bringing solutions for unified forest monitoring.
A new report gives a summary of the European Forest Information Network project - #EFINET. It plots a pathway towards a harmonized pan-European #forest #monitoring system, combining ground-based and earth observation-based data.

What are the personal stories we connect to forests? 🌲💭

Elaine Parlade, PhD candidate at our partner BOKU Vienna wrote an article for #ForwardsEU reflecting on the answers shared by the consortium during the last General Assembly in February.
