Join us for this #MembersHour on 2 May with Oli Smith from WildTrackPro.
During this session, Oli will explain how artificial intelligence is being utilised through app-based software to support forest managers with making informed decisions for deer management based on developments in data science, ecology and zoology. Launched in 2023, WildTrack Pro was designed to support with grant applications and identify suitable management options based on UKFS and Forestry Commission guidance, but spans much wider into rewilding, carbon and ecosystem management.
About the speaker
Oli Smith – Founder & CEO, WildTrackPro
Oli grew up as the son of a forestry consultant before spending a decade in the military and then working for one of the Big Four consulting firms and various other private companies. He has been deer stalking for over 20 years and has helped out with various Forestry Commission research projects along the way. He started WildTrackPro as a way to consolidate record keeping and lone worker safety management, and as a way to save huge amounts of time transcribing handwritten/voice/WhatsApp notes into spreadsheets. Outside of stalking, his hobbies include Brazilian JiuJitsu, rock climbing and trying to stop his Norwegian Elkhound from eating everything in sight and then depositing it all back in his car!
