Software to track inventory, forestry roads, real estate transactions, land records etc.
CFForest Land Resource Manager is a software module within the CFForest suite — a forest management information system developed by Indufor and associated developers to support the operational and strategic management of plantation and native forest estates. The Land Resource Manager module is specifically designed to manage the spatial and attribute data associated with the fundamental land units that make up a forest estate: compartments, coupes, stands, roads, water features, exclusion zones, and other mapped features that define where and how forestry activities can occur. At its core, the module functions as a GIS-integrated database that maintains a current and historical record of land tenure, zoning, environmental constraints, infrastructure, and operational history across an entire estate, providing the authoritative spatial reference for all other planning and operational activities. Users can record and query stand characteristics — species composition, age class, stocking, silvicultural history, and operational status — linked to their precise geographic boundaries, enabling spatial analysis of harvest scheduling, road network optimisation, and environmental management zone identification. The Land Resource Manager is designed to support both day-to-day operational planning and longer-term strategic modelling, with tools for area reconciliation, stand replacement, replanting tracking, and multi-rotation yield projection. In the Australian context, where forest managers must navigate complex overlapping layers of tenure, environmental overlays, certification requirements, and regulatory approvals, a robust land resource management system is a prerequisite for compliant and efficient forest operations. Integration with remote sensing data inputs — including LiDAR-derived stand metrics and satellite-based change detection — is an increasingly important capability for keeping estate records current between scheduled ground inventories.
A highly suitable tool that increases planning coherence and reduces compliance and data-consistency risks.
