    We spent a year building a system to precisely map vegetation fuels across #California—down to nearly each tree. For decades the #forest mgmt, #wildfire, & emergency response communities were stuck using out-of-date and coarse maps. That changes today: forestobservatory.com

    Excited to partner with @upstream_tech to launch a new digital MRV solution for reforestation & other forest carbon projects Lens for Carbon provides simple, turnkey MRV at a fraction the cost of traditional monitoring. Join us Thursday at 12pm PST bit.ly/3QmISCQ

    Great to hear about this new conservation acquisition that will be largely open to the public! Explore the landscape ahead of your trip using our forest mapping platform.

    Fantastic!! Hooray The Wildlands Conservancy!! Here's a look at tree heights in the property from @forestobs (interact with it and all the other layers like canopy cover and ladder fuel density here: tinyurl.com/yhlqxn8b)
    3m resolution tree heights along the Eel River site of the future Eel River Canyon Preserve (former Lone Pine Ranch)

    Forests play a crucial role in removing atmospheric CO2. To reach the 1.5°C target of @cop26, we need better mapping, monitoring, & mgmt. of forests on a global scale. We’re building tech to meet the need—1st in CA w/ @forestobvs & bigger expansions to come. #TogetherForOurPlanet

    At 322,000 acres and growing with no end in sight, the #DixieFire (red) has surpassed last year's #NorthComplex (orange) The scale of these #wildfires is just enormous (base layer is our 3-meter resolution tree height; darker green = taller trees) #CAfire #CAwx
