Forest Inventories

Volant EcoServices offers detailed forest inventory services to assess the structure, composition, and health of forested ecosystems. Our inventories are designed to support land management decisions, conservation planning, habitat assessments, and environmental permitting. Whether you're managing a small woodlot or conducting a landscape-scale assessment, our team delivers precise, data-driven insights.


We collect information on tree species, diameter at breast height (DBH), canopy cover, age classes, understory vegetation, regeneration, and signs of disturbance or disease. Our methods follow standardized forestry protocols, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and compatibility with state and federal agency requirements.


Forest inventories are critical for evaluating habitat quality—especially for species of concern like bats, migratory birds, and forest-dependent wildlife. Our assessments can also support carbon stock estimation, restoration planning, environmental monitoring, and compliance with forestry best management practices.


Our team of experienced ecologists and forestry technicians combines field expertise with a deep understanding of ecological processes. Every inventory is tailored to project goals, timeline, and landowner or agency needs. We are committed to providing high-quality forest data that empowers our clients to make informed decisions across a range of land use scenarios.
