Dear Geospatial Advocate,

I am reaching out to you to obtain your assessment of leaf conditions in MidCoast Maine for LiDAR acquisition this spring.  The attached image shows the spring 2023 LiDAR Collection - this is for Quality Level 1 data and covers almost 3300 square miles!  This year the State of Maine is teaming with USGS through their Broad Area Announcement (BAA) program, and they are asking us for leaf and snow conditions to share with their acquisition contractor, NV5.  We would like condition assessments from Kingfield to Howland, Ellsworth to Norridgewock and all communities in between.  Please see attached image for this year's program.

Would you please update me with your assessment of your area and provide images if possible?  I am specifically requesting the location and images of amount of snow and leaf conditions.  Right now the focus is on the remaining snow in the woods and snowpiles in the parking lots.

Your information will help us determine when the best time is to deploy aircraft for LiDAR acquisition.  

Please send the information directly to me.  Note that I am always happy to discuss the GeoLibrary's geospatial acquisitions, feel free to reach out to me at the numbers below.  I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your assistance.

Thank you in advance for this information!

Sincerely, 
Claire Kiedrowski
