2015 – LIDAR to inform NEPA
April 23, 2015. Salem BLM
Objective:
The objective of this one day workshop is to share examples of how LIDAR is being used to inform NEPA analyses on USFS and BLM units. This is not a nuts-and-bolts data processing workshop: it is intended to be more “aspirational and inspirational” -- to excite IDT’s about the possibilities LIDAR opens to understanding our environment and potentially increasing efficiency. It will also be a great opportunity for current users to compare notes!
