This tool has provided unprecedented and customized landscape level views and analyses to a large range of environmental professionals and technicians. The quality and value of the end products have increased efficiency of field work by allowing large perspectives of the land from which selected areas may be investigated on foot. In Drone Applications in Environmental Surveying participants will explore several models of drones and their applications in today’s environmental field work. Presented by NRTG.

Are we doing a baseline survey in advance of a proposed development? A reconnaissance survey? Or perhaps designing a monitoring program that will measure potential habitat changes downstream from a mine or forestry project? Perhaps an assessment to identify limiting factors to fish production and from this design restoration activities? Each of these will require different approaches to the assessment to gather the important information on which to make decisions. Planning & Designing Fish Habitat Assessments will provide guidance on how to select the appropriate methods depending upon the purpose of the survey.
