Now the satellites will be the watchdog of the timber type and the private land clearing amount in Tasmania. The satellite will make a detailed survey of the state through the summer.
For making this study, high resolution satellite imagery is needed. And to buy this, the Private Forests Tasmania is about to sign a $600,000 contract. The detailed satellite imagery produced of all the private timber in Tasmania will be used for management and setting policy — though not for policing land clearing, Company chief executive Simon Eldridge says.
