This two-day training course is designed for forestry and conservation professionals seeking to integrate drone-based remote sensing into forest and woodland management. Participants will learn how to plan and carry out drone surveys using RGB and thermal sensors, process imagery to create orthomosaics, canopy height models (CHMs), and assess forest stand structure and wetland conditions. With a strong practical focus, the course equips foresters with the skills to apply aerial data in stand monitoring, regeneration planning, and habitat assessment. The course is not a drone training course, rather the focus is applications of data acquired using drones.
