 | ImageTree Corporationwww.imagetreecorp.com
ImageTree is “the precision forestry company,” providing accurate and consistent assessment of forest assets that significantly improves timberland management practices and investor returns. Its patented process, which combines remote sensing, automated software, and advanced mathematics and analysis, enables superior economic, environmental and sustainable-forest decision making by forest landowners and managers, based on site-specific data – rather than blanket decisions for an entire forest or even a stand of trees. Using ImageTree technology, these stakeholders, which include TIMOs and REITs, can eliminate the price-to-market gap driven by inaccurate inventories, maximize returns and be responsible environmental stewards.
ImageTree’s ForestSenseTM inventory platform provides precise, timely and cost-effective inventory for forest management. Leveraging the best in remote-sensing technology and timber-cruising methodologies, ImageTree can reduce a typical five-year inventory-cycle time up to 80 percent.
The ForestSense platform also facilitates the accurate calculation of carbon biomass sequestered at both the stand and the forest level through the use of biomass conversion equations. These equations generate an output in metric tons of CO2, which is the basis upon which carbon credits can be issued, and enable ImageTree customers to achieve additional financial rewards for sustainably managing their forests
The company has academic relationships with the Forest Nutrition Cooperative based at North Carolina State University, Virginia Tech and the Universidad de Concepción (Chile); University of Georgia’s Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources; Yale University’s Global Institute for Sustainable Forestry; and the Davis College of Agriculture, Forestry and Consumer Sciences at West Virginia University.
