Mason, Bruce & Girard has provided on the ground inventory services since its inception. MB&G consistently completes inventory projects on time and on budget, while meeting contract specifications. Clients include federal, state, and large and small private landowners. Cruise projects, when combined with MB&G Tools and GIS capabilities, result in a state-of-the-art inventory for our clients.
MB&G also provides sophisticated inventory maintenance systems, using its own forest inventory/GIS software. MB&G can annually or periodically update inventories for such things as GIS edits, changes in land ownership, changing regulation impacts, timber harvest depletions, and growth. This allows clients to efficiently and cost effectively maintain their inventories over time. MB&G’s inventory systems are linked to GIS systems, which allow clients to efficiently use their mapping and visual capabilities.
