Photo supplied Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory is using grant money to buy drones to map the land and manage forest inventory in the region. The First Nation’s Lands and Natural Resources Department is incorporating light detecting and ranging, called LiDAR (LIE-DAR just like radar) technology and drones to manage forestry mapping, as part of its business plan, explains department director John Manitowabi.
