Numu provides advanced aerial mapping, LiDAR, multispectral imaging, and GIS analysis to protect and restore the land. As an Indigenous-led organization, we combine cutting-edge remote sensing technology with stewardship values rooted in respect for the Earth.
Our high-resolution geospatial data supports wildfire prevention, forest health monitoring, habitat restoration, environmental planning, and community resilience efforts. From tribal lands and conservation areas to at-risk wildland-urban interfaces, we deliver accurate intelligence that strengthens land-management decision-making.
Using state-of-the-art drone technology and science-based analysis, Numu equips land stewards, tribal governments, agencies, and partner organizations with the tools they need to care for the land, reduce risk, and plan for a more resilient future.
INDIGENOUS STEWARDSHIP POWERED BY MODERN TECHNOLOGY
Aerial Mapping, LiDAR, and GIS Solutions for Forestry, Wildfire, and Natural Resource Projects
Who We Are: Numu — Tribal-Led LiDAR, GIS & Mapping Experts
Accurate, high-resolution aerial imaging and geospatial solutions for tribal lands and partners
Numu is a tribal-focused geospatial team delivering advanced aerial mapping, LiDAR, multispectral imagery, and GIS analysis across the U.S. We partner with tribal governments, land stewards, agencies, and private landowners to produce precise, actionable datasets that support cultural stewardship, resource management, wildfire risk assessment, and environmental monitoring. Our work is built around local priorities and long-term stewardship — we translate high-resolution data into practical insights that help communities make informed, data-driven decisions.
We specialize in GIS strategy and planning, spatial analysis, 3D mapping, and aerial imaging. By combining modern drone platforms and sensors with years of on-the-ground experience, Numu delivers dependable spatial products that support critical projects — from vegetation and canopy analysis to terrain modeling, infrastructure siting, and habitat restoration. Our approach centers on collaboration, clear deliverables, and locally relevant outcomes so that data not only informs decisions, but supports community goals.
Geospatial Consulting and Remote Sensing Services
WILDFIRE RESPONSE & DETECTION
Wildfire detection and environmental monitoring rooted in tribal land stewardship. Numu provides rapid aerial intelligence to support emergency response, resource managers, and cultural site protection with real-time geospatial awareness.
FLOOD RESPONSE & EMERGENCY PLANNING
Aerial LiDAR and imaging services for environmental planning, forestry, surveying, and land restoration. Numu captures ultra-precise elevation and vegetation data to document landscape change and support sustainable management of tribal lands.
FOREST HEALTH & RESTORATION
High-resolution LiDAR, multispectral, and RGB imagery to assess canopy structure, identify dominant species, and evaluate vegetation health. Numu’s forest analysis supports reforestation, watershed restoration, and fuel management programs across tribal territories.
INVASICE SPECIES MONTIORING & TRACKING
Numu helps detect and track invasive species using traditional methods in collaboration with drones, LiDAR, and GIS mapping to protect native ecosystems and support land restoration.
