Wiky Geomatics

 

Wiky Geomatics is now offering unique, customized solutions in the areas of property development, site assessments, elevation products, forestry management, and the like.

Wiikwemkoong’s Department of Lands & Natural Resources has expanded it’s capabilities to include continually upgraded technology consisting of high-quality multispectral imagery and high resolution LiDAR, capture via unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). This has been combined with sub-meter GNSS field equipment plus a powerful collection of GIS software, and LiDAR and imagery processing software for improved analysis capabilities and highly accurate data collection.

Our focus has been the Algoma through to Sudbury districts and, of course, Manitoulin Island. The Great-Lake St. Lawrence forest region of Ontario offers such a diversity of landscapes and tree species/forest types that analysis requires a more granular and detailed understanding of forest inventory and continuous inventories are necessary for effective and efficient forest management planning and operations.

Wiky Geomatics still seeks to form strategic alliances and partnerships with consulting firms and research partners to join in pursuing opportunities in the afforestation, carbon offset monitoring, aggregates, mining, and civil engineering sectors. Current, ongoing research and development include species identification, UAV based regen surveys and forest stand descriptions.
