The 3rd Workshop of the Special Interest Group on Forestry aims at setting up the common forum for the environment research community and people involved in the forestry sector, where both the operational techniques as well as developing methodologies can be presented and understood in order to improve the inventory methods, monitoring and management or protection practices used in the forests. The workshop will serve as a forum:

- to demonstrate the potential of the new generation of platforms, sensors and software,
- to present state of the art methods of data processing and integration,
- to evaluate both benefits and limitations of the new technologies, and
- to discuss future needs of forest related research sector and end-users.

We are planning to offer young researches and Young Scientist the opportunity to exchange their knowledge and participate in lectures, practical demonstrations (like UAV flight campaign) and software/data processing trainings as well. This activity is planed as Summer School “Advanced geomatics in modern forestry" (12-14 September, 2016) organizing just before the 3rd Workshop SIG on Forestry.
