A number of locations in the forest are identified over which an electromagnetic energy sensor system (110, 112) in an unmanned aerial vehicle (106, 108) generates the information (202) about the forest by generating a point cloud with a resolution (239) that meets a point cloud threshold (243). A route (244) is generated for the unmanned aerial vehicle to move to the number of locations and generate the information about the forest in the number of locations.I) D) 77<;0 C>;>;7 CN 0007 coo C.0>; 04O4 04V J c2 'NJ
