Environmental & Forestry

At Elev8 Visions, we provide aerial mapping and inspection solutions that support environmental monitoring, forestry management, and conservation projects. Using advanced LiDAR, thermal imaging, and survey-grade workflows, we deliver the accurate data needed to make informed decisions about natural resources and ecosystems.

Vegetation & Forest Mapping

Capture accurate data above and below dense canopy cover.

  • Use LiDAR to penetrate vegetation and reveal ground surfaces

  • Map canopy height, density, and biomass distribution

  • Support forest inventory and sustainable management practices

  • Monitor reforestation and land-use changes over time

Wildlife & Habitat Monitoring

Our drones help protect critical ecosystems and biodiversity.

  • Generate habitat maps for conservation planning

  • Monitor environmental changes impacting wildlife

  • Use thermal imaging to track animal presence and movement

  • Support ecological studies with repeatable aerial datasets

Watershed & Floodplain Studies

Accurate elevation and terrain data is essential for hydrological analysis.

  • Create topographic maps for drainage, erosion, and water flow studies

  • Model floodplain risks with survey-grade accuracy

  • Support stormwater and watershed management plans

  • Deliver GIS-ready datasets for planners and regulators

Environmental Inspections

Access areas that are hazardous or difficult to reach on foot.

  • Monitor contaminated sites safely with aerial imagery

  • Detect thermal anomalies for fire prevention or remediation projects

  • Inspect wetlands, shorelines, and remote ecosystems

  • Operate off-grid for up to 72 hours with solar and satellite connectivity

Change Detection & Land Management

Consistent aerial data collection enables long-term environmental planning.

  • Compare time-series orthomosaics and 3D models

  • Detect unauthorized land use or environmental degradation

  • Support compliance reporting with visual and measurable evidence

  • Provide defensible datasets for environmental assessments

Why Elev8 Visions for Environmental & Forestry?

  • LiDAR penetration – Capture true ground surfaces beneath canopy cover

  • Thermal imaging – Detect anomalies and track wildlife movement

  • Survey-grade accuracy – RTK, GCPs, and repeatable workflows

  • Remote deployment – Off-grid capability for isolated projects
