 Some emerging technology that we have today is GIS or geographic information systems UAS or unmanned aerial systems and drones. And what's really valuable is the emergence of the smartphone, whether we're talking Apple, Android. These systems can integrate into this tool that we're all carrying in our pockets every day. There's tools where we can take a number of photos using special tools, stitch those images together, and get an aerial images similar to what you might find with Google, Bing, whatever it might be, but you flew it yesterday. There's a lot of ways that we can use data from these technologies. We can use it to map our forest roads, map our different forest stands that are out there, calculate acreages on ponds, on different forest types, on the length of our roads. And so that's the value of geographic information systems. It's important to have a plan for our forest and mapping is an incredibly important part of that. With new emerging technology, it's important to stay up to date. To be on the cutting edge is oftentimes an expensive place to be, but a lot of times as time progresses, the technology becomes increasingly easier to use, the prices begin to drop, and as a result it becomes more adaptable and adoptable for us. The future forest management is really evolving with this technology. There's the idea that as this technology comes out it makes forest management easier for us. It makes our time in the field more efficient. We don't have to spend hours or days looking for that pine beetle spot that we know might be out there, looking for the effects of down timber due to a tornado or a hurricane. We can use this technology to get a bird's eye view, to map it out very quickly, and then just go out in the field to ground truth what we're seeing out there. I entered the forest industry for a number of reasons. I'm a second generation forester. My father worked in forestry. And then secondly, I enjoyed the outdoors. I enjoyed working in nature, spending time in the woods, and also the sustainability that comes with forest management. We are growing a wonderful resource that we plant in the ground. We get to watch it grow with all the ecological benefits. Also, I enjoy extension. I enjoy translating the research, translating the technology and the data, and making it available and attainable for forest landowners. It's an honor to be able to do that, and I enjoy doing it every day.
