Collecting pre-restoration LiDAR and thermal survey data

In July and October, Jen Cramer and Jin-Si Over assisted USGS UAS pilots from NUSO and Fort Collins to collect pre-restoration LiDAR and thermal survey data for the Vermillion River on the Kootenai National Forest in Montana before construction begins to improve Bull Trout habitat.  This project was a joint effort between the USGS Fort Collins Science Center, the USGS Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center, and the USFS.
