The reforestation projects initiated above obligate additional expenditures from the land fund for herbicide release and herbivory control for out years not reflected above. A five-year (2010-2015) land fund expenditure plan is under development.
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a technology that utilizes lasers to determine the distance to an object or surface. It is similar to radar but incorporates laser pulses rather than sound waves. Both systems determine distance by measuring the travel time between transmission and reflection and detection of a pulse. Common airborne systems consist of a LiDAR laser scanner mounted in the bottom of an airplane (similar to an aerial camera) along with an Inertial Measuring Unit and Airborne GPS. In spring of 2007, a partnership between Camp Ripley, Crow Wing County, and St. Cloud State University contracted Merrick & Company to execute a LiDAR acquisition survey. Acquisition areas included Camp Ripley, Crow Wing County, and the Mille Lacs Indian Reservation. The contracted Camp Ripley project area included the installation and a three mile buffer excluding the area that falls within Crow Wing County. Although the MNARNG does not own the data for this exclusion area Crow Wing County has provided the data along with permission for its use. Therefore, the Camp Ripley LiDAR data set currently covers Camp Ripley as well as a three mile buffer surrounding the installation. Camp Ripley LiDAR data Acquisition period: 9 May - 24 June 2007 Avg point density: 1.7 points/m 2 Number of returns: 4 Tiling scheme: 5000 x 5000ft Data deliverables All data points classified into ground and non-ground - LAS format (also includes intensity values) -ASCII format Digital Terrain Model (DTM) sufficient to generate 2ft contours derived from LiDAR - mass points and break lines in ESRI shapefile format - Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) format - 1m ESRI Grid format 2ft contours derived from DTM -ESRI shapefile format LiDAR acquisition efforts are typically based upon the need for detailed terrain information. Although terrain deliverables were an important component of this project, recently developed analysis methods for quantifying various forest stand structural metrics (e.g., stem density, basal area, tree height and volume) were the true catalyst. The LiDAR derived forest metric data was pursued for two primary purposes: 1. Explore a method to minimize annual inventory efforts. 2. Improve understanding of the relationship between forest structure and breeding birds at Camp Ripley Page 17 2009 Conservation Program Report
