Forest Mensuration

Permanent Sample Plot Alberta forestry

In Alberta, Temporary Sample Plots (TSPs) and Permanent Sample Plots (PSPs) are used to develop yield curves. Timber cruising is often done at an operational level in order to collect diameter and height information about a particular block or strata.

Timber cruise plots are used to calibrate carbon models and ensure reliable methods are being applied to estimate carbon stocks.

Our rigorous quality assurance and quality control processes give you peace of mind that your project will pass third-party verification.
