all the forests i managed have a complete qgis cartography: species plots, age plots, density/volume, etc. also i produce maps for the workers to get to the spot i need them to do stuff: log, make a road, plant treelings, survey a pond, whatever.

my partner is working on a piece of software to predict late frosting for a data science company (it kills your seedling plantations, if you are into that sort of thing, i don't but sometimes the client wants it) so i was considering adding that to qgis as the data is available freely.

in france the lidar collection of data is almost entirely done, we can get numerical model of the terrain and tree heights, it's awesome in qgis!

qgis is the best gis software ever... i use it weekly, almost daily.

my next move would be to learn how to make my own plugins.

ps: i'm a forester, fwiw :)
