Flown by John Scott, Digital Agriculture Extension Coordinator, Purdue Extension
The Emerald Ash Borer killed all dead trees in this orthomosaic image. This woodlot is approximately eight acres, with approximately 144 trees have been damaged or destroyed. An exact number requires human inspection, but an aerial view offers a general idea of the total number while identifying areas of greatest concentration. We can also mark accessibility points for tree removal.
