Software for resource management and planning
CFForest SilvaPRO is the silvicultural management and forest inventory analysis module within the CFForest suite, providing plantation and native forest managers with tools to plan, record, analyse, and report on the full range of silvicultural operations across a managed forest estate. SilvaPRO is designed around the core workflows of forest inventory — capturing and managing tree measurement data from sample plots or complete enumerations — and silvicultural prescription, linking stand condition data to recommended treatments such as thinning, pruning, fertilisation, and weed control. The module integrates growth and yield modelling functionality, allowing managers to project future stand volumes and product outturn under different silvicultural scenarios, supporting harvest scheduling decisions and long-term estate yield forecasting. Inventory data management in SilvaPRO includes tools for designing statistically rigorous sampling schemes, managing measurement plot records across multiple inventory occasions, calculating stand-level estimates with associated precision statistics, and producing summary reports in formats required by certification bodies and regulatory agencies. The system supports integration with mobile data collection tools — including CFForest Mobile Builder — so that field measurements flow directly into the analytical database without re-keying. In the context of Australian plantation forestry, where managers of softwood and hardwood estates must balance productivity objectives against certification, environmental, and tenure obligations, SilvaPRO provides a centralised analytical platform that connects field measurement data to operational and strategic decision-making. The module's ability to model the yield implications of different silvicultural regimes — including the trade-offs between rotation length, thinning intensity, and log grade outturn — makes it a practical tool for optimising the financial and resource management performance of intensively managed plantation estates.
