The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe conducted a forest inventory in 2003 using aerial photography, Geographic Information System (GIS) technology and direct field surveys to measure the Reservation’s 6,860 acres of forest land, resulting in the publication of a forest inventory analysis report (Bridgen et al. 2004). A supplemental report in 2006 modeled forest stand growth and provided information such as indicated annual cut (which approximates what level of timber harvest will be balanced out by new growth) useful for establishing sustainable long-term harvesting and management plans.
