Visual Aerial Survey and Mapping

One of the most regular tasks performed by Heli Surveys is survey and mapping. Using the latest technology, GPS-interfaced mapping systems and standard aerial survey equipment (transect bars), accurate maps and/or population estimates of anything from weeds to wild horses can be achieved. Additionally, using a sophisticated radio telemetry tracking system, radio collared animals including pigs, wild dogs, goats and spotted-tail quolls can be successfully tracked and located.
