Pelican Forestry & Natural Resource Analytics, LLC
Missoula, Montana • (707) 828‑5519
Capability Statement
Field-to-Forecast. Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in forestry, fire science, GIS, environmental analysis, and field ecology under one sturdy roof. Pelican has a proven capacity for large-scale field logistics, sampling, and data-driven modeling within the same small, flexible operation. We are founded on a philosophy of stewardship—of both community and environment—with a mission-driven structure donating 2–5% of annual profits to environmental/humanitarian nonprofits.
Core Competencies
- Forest Inventory & Carbon Analysis: Comprehensive forest inventory, timber cruising, growth-and-yield; biomass & carbon stock quantification via field allometrics, LiDAR, and remote-sensing validation.
- Forest & Fire Ecology: Post-fire assessments and long-term stand-structure monitoring across diverse forest types.
- Fuels & Fire Modeling: Field-informed simulation (FSim, FireFam, LANDIS-II) of fire behavior and effects.
- Environmental & Regulatory Support: Wetland delineations, vegetation surveys, NEPA/MEPA documentation supported by on-site field data.
- Geospatial & Data Science: Spatial statistics, habitat modeling, machine learning, and geospatial visualization for natural-resource applications.
