GPS & GIS Mapping

When it comes to effective forest management, there’s a powerful tool that stands out: Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping. This technology might sound complex, but it’s incredibly valuable for understanding and optimizing your forested land.

At Sizemore and Sizemore, we utilize cutting-edge data recorders and GPS units to ensure the utmost precision in providing accurate data for forest owners like you.

GIS mapping finds its most common application in forest management. Imagine it as a digital canvas where we sketch property boundaries, calculate acreage, and categorize different timber types across your forestland. What’s truly remarkable is that this software allows us to attach specific information to each stand of timber. This feature is particularly valuable when dealing with extensive ownerships spanning multiple land tracts. With GIS data, both forest managers and owners gain insights into the entirety of their land, as well as specific zones within each tract.

The efficiency of GIS maps is unparalleled. They can be easily updated to reflect the dynamic nature of forest and wildlife management activities. From timber harvests and thinnings to prescribed burns, wildlife habitat enhancements, and even the locations and maintenance of food plots – all these can be seamlessly incorporated into the GIS framework.

Today, investing in a robust GIS system is a wise move to genuinely comprehend your land and make informed decisions for its future. Coupled with accurate GPS data, GIS becomes an indispensable tool for effective land management, irrespective of its size.
