INTRODUCTION
Forestry
involves the management of a broad range of natural resources within a forested
area. We all agree Forestry is complex, dynamic, and multidimensional. GIS
technology profoundly and positively impacts the way land managers, timber
managers, and forestry specialists manage timber resources. Having
accurate geographical information about land is critical to making informed
decisions about how to manage it. Digital maps can be linked to
relational databases that store baseline data, topography information, site
documentation, and aerial digital photography. Designing and implementing
a comprehensive GIS plan is the foundation for sound forest management and
wildlife management decisions. Additionally, a GIS plan is an integral
part of developing a forest management plan.
