Client: Deschutes National Forest, Crescent Ranger District
SBS ecologists conducted drone supported surveys to map invasive reed canary grass in the 900 acre Big Marsh wetland in the Deschutes National Forest of central Oregon. SBS used “live” drone flight viewing of the field of flight and a laptop monitor to locate and identify reed canary grass infestations along inaccessible wetland areas. SBS used GIS-equipped drones to map and photograph weed infestations. Final deliverables included geographic-linked aerial photographs, a detailed map of infestation densities, and a Powerpoint presentation of field photographs.
