SFE “Forests of Ukraine” invests in modern equipment for forestry operations

New equipment for forest allocation and inventory work has been purchased for the “Slobozhansky Forest Office” branch. The acquisition includes laser hypsometers-rangefinders, electronic calipers, and GNSS receivers. This purchase is part of the company’s investment program.

The new tools are essential for ensuring measurement accuracy during forest inventory operations. These inventories are conducted by forestry specialists to determine the volume and quality of timber, as well as key tree parameters such as height, density, and age. This information helps assess the size, value, and utilization potential of forest resources.

The new equipment is already being used across most Forestry Management Units of the branch for forest stand inventory work.

The introduction of modern tools and data processing methods has demonstrated several advantages. Previously, such tasks required an entire team, whereas now two specialists can complete them in less time while also preparing digital materials for obtaining an electronic felling ticket.

“Before, we used traditional measuring forks. Now everything is automated — modern instruments with receivers allow us to speed up the process, obtain more accurate data, and save human resources, time, and money,” — explained the branch specialists.

All collected data is automatically stored in digital form, ensuring not only accuracy and reliability but also easy access and integration into further forestry operations.

By adopting such modern technologies, the branch is increasing its profitability and operational efficiency.

In the future, the company plans to equip all forest districts of the branch with these modern measuring devices.
