Hi eco-folks, I’m proud to announce today the next evolution in my journey as an ecologist with the launch of a new company, Scholar Farms (www.scholarfarms.com), and an online masterclass called Phytomappers Pro.
The goal of the Phytomappers Pro masterclass is to create the ultimate resource guide for plants and drones. The class consists of 100+ video lectures (10+ hrs of content), 10+ case studies, example datasets, written checklists and labs. It’s a deep dive on the general theory behind plant mapping, drone hardware, multispectral sensors, image processing, and data outputs. This course was built for you if you are teaching with drones, a student interested in being a drone professional, or trying to adopt drones for your research program. Phytomappers Pro emerged from my unique perspective as an ecologist embedded in the drone industry for the past few years. It is infused with the lessoned learned as both an academic and working for some of the leading drone hardware and software companies. I’ve also collaborated with many academic partners and observed firsthand the challenges in integrating drone technology into research and teaching. A successful drone program comes down to accessibility to information that is comprehensive and current in a fast- moving tech world. I think you’ll find that Phytomappers Pro can help you meet those expectations. The course fee is $397.00 to register. No drones are needed to take the class. It can be enrolled in at www.scholarfarms.com and there is a full 30-day refund if you are not satisfied with the content. In addition, we are offering a totally FREE overview course online called "A Quick Start Guide to Drones and Plants" that runs through the drone industry and where its headed as it relates to vegetation mapping. Its a good overview if you are new to drones. You can registered for at no cost at: scholarfarms.teachable.com/p/quickstart Thanks for your support and I look forward to training a new generation of aerial ecologists.
