“AbitibiBowater has engaged the services of R&B Cormier for inventory projects for more than a decade, starting with a traditional photo-interpreted inventory combined with a nested plot network consisting of more than 30,000 plots. I have found R&B Cormier to be professional and very diligent. During that time, I have been impressed with R&B Cormier’s commitment to innovation and efforts to improve the value of its services to its clients. The latest project, for example, is the creation of an inventory using R-MAP with high resolution aerial digital imagery aimed specifically at predicting the growth potential of managed stands and identifying stands requiring additional treatment. The R-MAP process represents the state of the art in enhanced forest inventory technology. This project also utilized R-MAP aerial calibration plots to increase sampling intensity and accuracy over conventional access biased field sampling methods.”
