Our interior survey crews started up this week on Kelowna projects. Taylor Whyte will be leading one crew again, and will be mentoring Evan Schlodder, a 4th year student who will graduate from University of New Brunswick next spring. We hope Evan has a great summer at SuavAir!

Stoked on our new drone, the DJI M300 RTK that arrived last week. This new drone will allow us to capture cm level accuracy through a base station, take 45 MegaPixel Photos for highly detailed 3D Models, fly for up to 50 minutes, and take both thermal and ortho imagery together.

Rene Cattet is going into his 4th season of leading a SuavAir interior survey crew, and is an accredited silviculture surveyor and great drone pilot. Tyler Steinberg is new to SuavAir and will be a great addition with several summers of BC experience already, including drone use.

We had company during a Free Growing Survey near Port McNeill. This block was planted in 2012 with a mix of Douglas Fir and Red Cedar, and had strong natural regeneration of Hemlock to compliment the planted trees. We agreed with the bear and declared it Free-Growing.

📸: Koprino Log Dump near Holberg. Drone Surveying in Holberg was SuavAir's first big contract back in 2015 and remains one of our favourite places to work - great people to work with and beautiful landscapes on the north coast of Vancouver Island.

SuavAir recently began surveying a new Silviculture project in BC's Kootenay region. Getting to see new country is one of our favourite perks of the job!

Have you seen the Beaver Float Plane in northern Campbell River when you first enter the city on Highway 19? Congratulations to all the people and organizations who collaborated to make this a successful installation!

Happy BC Day! Getting outdoors to celebrate under the sunshine and by the lake, river, or mountains sounds pretty perfect today. Photo Location: Adams River Floodplain.

Stockpile surveys with drones are fast, accurate, safe and ideal to track inventory. There were 18 different types of gravel and aggregate on this recent survey we did, and the client now has a 3D model and permanent record of the site conditions with accurate volume numbers.

🌲SuavAir recently worked with the Lower North Thompson Community Forest and Powell River Community Forest, completing silviculture surveys. Community forests are unique; the management balances themes important to the community with the profits being re-invested locally.

Great weather and even better scenery for an environmental monitoring survey near Winter Harbour this week. Winter Harbour is one of the most remote communities on Vancouver Island and a pretty neat spot.

Putting our new fancy dual Zoom / Thermal camera to the test during a snowstorm. Very impressed that we could get great imagery of this herd of Roosevelt Elk from more than 100 metre distance. This is the camera sensor we use for assisting Search & Rescue groups.
