The Digital Forest Affiliates relies on our partners to support the day-to-day operations of the program, but more importantly allows the members to participate in ongoing consultation, discussion, and collaborative research. The interactions between the researchers and expert leaders from industry, foundations, governments, and inter-governmental organizations ensure that our work has real-world applicability and impact.
Because the comprehensive work of the Digital Forest Affiliates spans many industries and academic disciplines, we actively seek to maintain a diverse membership in our consortium. We encourage participation from partners around the world and in all industry sectors. We welcome participation in our consortium from any organization with an interest in digital forestry, LiDAR, or any associated discipline.
If you or your organization are interested in learning more about becoming a partner, please contact Bruce Ripley, Director, Digital Forest Affiliates.
