Last month, SWIFTT partners Rīgas Meži and Timbtrack got together in Riga, Latvia, for another important step in the development of the SWIFTT solution.

Timbtrack provided field training in data collection with the SWIFTT mobile app to Rīgas Meži's foresters. This data collection process is not only important for testing the platform and the associated apps, but also for collecting data that will be used by the research partners in the consortium to train the machine-learning models that will make it possible for SWIFTT to identify forest areas at risk of windthrow damage, insect outbreaks, and wildfire.
