Water is quite possibly the most important forest value we have. Bonny Hammons shows what being a hydrologist for the McKenzie River Ranger District is all about. Hydrologists monitor water quality and work with forest managers and operators to help plan forest projects, reduce the impact of logging on a watershed and help restore fish habitat. Bonny works for the U.S. Forest Service.

Ever wondered how a drone actually flies? Here I explain the simple physics of how a drone lifts off, hovers, turns and moves through the air. I also look briefly at how the remote controller communicates with the drone, how the battery powers the drone and how the GPS system works to keep the drone safe. I also mention some of the issues that can occur with drones and how to be careful not to crash them. This video teaches you how drones are able to fly and explains how they function at a…
We travel to Middle Neck Farms, where farmer Sam Parker has hired MADTECH Drones to come survey his fields. This startup, run by Tom and Zach Marnane, helps farmers analyse crop health through aerial photography. Through infrared photos, they can tell if plants need more or less water or fertilizer, and see possible problems before the human eye can tell. This cutting edge technology helps farmers be more efficient and cost effective.
