Clear cutting is a very controversial topic yet a necessity in order to produce many of the every day products we use. There are, however, different ways to approach this practice. This week we used our analyzing techniques to establish the amount of clear cuts that are visible to the main roads in an area in New Brunswick, Canada. We determined which areas were clear cut, determined the age of the clear cuts and also took into consideration, the elevation and terrain. This will factor into the ability to see from the roads. We used a variety of search queries and the viewshed tool for this.
