What's New ?
Canada Yew

Borealis has been attempting to develop a local workforce in the Wawa, Ontario area to harvest Canada Yew (Taxus canadensis), in association with Chatham Biotec Limited (www.chathambiotec.com). Operations started in 2004, with over 20,000 lbs. of yew biomass being collected, purchased, and shipped to CBL's facilities in New Brunswick.  Efforts continued in 2005 to identify harvest locations and collect additional yew biomass.  Read more here about our yew collection efforts.


Boundary Layout Aids

For those of you who might prefer to lay out your harvest block boundaries using the traditional compass and hipchain method, we have a product that will astonishingly alleviate the worst part of the job -  calculating the bearings and distances for the traverse.  For contractors and logging superintendents, we estimate that the traverse bearings and distances for your entire annual operations could be completed in less than a day.  You receive maps and tables listing the required information for your traverses - extremely accurate and retrievable in an instant, since we can provide you this info in any popular spreadsheet format (eg., Excel).  This product is also useful for those individuals who use simple GPS units to check their positions - waypoint information is generated quickly and accurately for each corner of the traverse.  Check out the details at this link:  LAYOUT AIDS

Real-time GPS Navigation

Need to confirm your location in real-time?  Click on the image to the left to see an enlarged view showing a screen shot of our real-time gps technique.  Position data can also be collected simultaneously and differentially corrected later (post-processed) for even greater accuracies.  We maintain continuous access to base station data, offering differential correction capability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  If you'd like to learn more or have us provide you with a demonstration, please contact us!
