Work on the ground

Real forests, real flights, real data. Our flagship pilot turns a community forest in Kawasoti, Nawalpur into a fully measured, individual-tree inventory.

Featured pilot

Shree Manakamana Community Forest

Kawasoti, Nawalpur · Gandaki Province · UAV + DeepForest

We flew a low-altitude UAV survey over the community forest, built a centimetre-scale orthomosaic, and ran a DeepForest tree-crown model to delineate and measure every individual tree — producing a stem map, crown-area distribution and stand-structure statistics the CFUG can use directly in its operational plan.
