Reliable forest data plays a crucial role in business operations and conservation.
Projects are tailored to answer the clients’ specific needs using suitable methods in regard to the forest use, management objectives, available background data and allocated budget.
We perform forest inventories for various purposes in natural or commercial forests and plantations – from tropics to boreal forests.
Depending on your requirements and project scale, different inventory approaches, based on satellite imagery, LiDAR, and drone data supported with AI, can be applied.
Inventory data, remote sensing, and other GIS data can be used to perform advanced analysis and produce customer specific information supporting precision forest management to improve profitability, reduce risks and increase biodiversity.
Analyses can be conducted, for example, on forest health, multi-objective land use, or balancing midterm logging revenues.
Forests are long-term assets that require coordinated management of value, productivity, risk and sustainability. Forest Key supports forest owners, investors and organisations in managing forest portfolios systematically and turning long-term objectives into practical decisions.
Our approach combines forest data, financial analysis, operational planning and sustainability considerations to support both strategic and day-to-day asset management.
We support customers in areas such as:
We support organisations in translating the strategy into practical implementation by developing digital planning, monitoring and decision-support tools. These tools can help to organise forest management activities, schedules, budgets, responsibilities and performance indicators, and can support the preparation and use of forest management plans by the organisation and its local forestry experts.
We also assist in introducing sustainable forest management practices, stakeholder engagement methods and certification-related procedures.
– let’s tailor a solution that works for you
An up-to-date forest plan supports your decision-making and ensures that your goals are achieved. Our extensive experience in the forestry and land use sectors guarantees that your forest is viewed as a whole — without overlooking nature values or emerging land use developments.
We take into account economic, ecological and social perspectives in every forest planning project — whether managing extensive state-owned forest assets, recreational forests of municipalities, private owners’ investment goals, or safeguarding biodiversity.
We create forest strategies for large forest owners. Forests are a complex and often difficult-to-define asset class, where the effects of decisions stretch over decades. A carefully crafted forest strategy structures decision-making, supports the management of multiple objectives, and brings desired transparency. It also serves as a valuable tool for continuous monitoring and development.
In our forest strategies, we consider among other things:
We analyze all forest-related data to support forest asset management. In dialogue with the customer, we identify ways to process the data for the customer’s benefit. The information we produce can help forest owners improve the profitability of forestry, reduce risks and increase biodiversity.

In addition to forest inventory based on field measurements, we innovatively utilize drone technology in the collection of forest resource data. Using photogrammetry and artificial intelligence, we produce accurate tree map-like information that identifies the location, tree species, length and diameter of trees. We have also utilized drone technology in precision forestry, identifying weakened tree individuals, predicting bark beetle damage, and visualizing forest plans.
In addition, we have trained over 40 forestry professionals to use drones in their daily work and have provided technical support.
