Drone Photography, Mapping, and GIS Analysis for People and Nature
ABOUT
TRC Aerial brings drone imaging to the conservation and planning work of Tom Robinson Consulting. Flights are planned and flown by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot with more than 25 years of experience in Bay Area conservation science and GIS. The result is aerial imagery and mapping that arrives ready for analysis, reporting, and decision making.

Why TRC Aerial
Most drone operators deliver imagery. TRC Aerial delivers interpretation. Each project draws on decades of work with land trusts, open space districts, and public agencies across the Bay Area, so the data is collected with the end analysis in mind and arrives in the formats your staff already use.
Who we work with
Public agencies, land trusts, conservation organizations, and planning teams that need current, site-specific imagery for monitoring, documentation, and communication.
Credentials
