Vibrant Planet

Exciting news! Through the peer-review process, our canopy height model, VibrantVS, has now been confirmed to lead the industry in accurate vegetation predictions. https://lnkd.in/eUHJd_dx A few points we're extra proud of: 🌿 VibrantVS beats other leading models down to the 0.5 meter 🌿 The model outperforms others particularly well in the western US (EPA L3 Ecoregion) 🌿 We attribute part of the model's success to robust training, which included 12M+ acres of lidar Read about the methodology, and learn how VibrantVS outputs, embedded in our platform, provide critical data for land managers, fire districts, counties, HOAs, and utilities to prioritize and manage tree/house level wildfire risk mitigation and landscape resilience projects.

We're so proud of our CEO, Allison Wolff, who has been recognized on Inc. Magazine's 2025 #FemaleFounders500, a list of the most creative and inspiring female leaders in the US! Her leadership has helped us expand our wildfire risk mitigation technology across more than 70M acres in 8 states, collaborating with over 300 partners along the way to keep communities and ecosystems intact. Cheers to many more years of innovative, female-led progress! https://lnkd.in/d_2CzDy

We're thrilled to join this conversation alongside other leaders building bleeding-edge technology to support our communities, ecosystems, and climate. Register: https://nvda.ws/40Xzqfj #GTC25

New research from Blue Forest and Vibrant Planet reveals a powerful solution to California's wildfire crisis: ecological forest treatments could generate up to $6,100 per acre in carbon revenue, helping fund management costs while making forests more resilient! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gR5Jf3fK Quick facts: 🌲 Ecological treatments like prescribed burns and thinning can reduce wildfire severity by 78% within just five years. 🌲 These treatments can also increase carbon storage by 35 metric tons per acre over 25 years compared to untreated forests. 🌲This could help close a major funding gap for California, which needs $2B annually to treat high-risk forest areas.

Introducing Proposals, a new feature that simplifies the process of garnering financial and social support for wildfire resilience projects. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gPtDvZh9 Use Proposals to… ➕ unify project plans across all your partners 📊 quantify wildfire risk reduction with project-specific resilience metrics 🚰 highlight benefits to communities and essential ecosystem services– such as drinking water …and more. Now more than ever, we hope our platform can continue to support communities, counties, states, and utilities in building wildfire resilience strategies that are more swiftly approved, funded, and implemented.

The wildfires in the Los Angeles area sadden us. As a team of many fire scientists, ecologists, and foresters, last week we turned inward, wondering how we could contribute our own knowledge and understanding of data to get involved. An outcome of this reflection can be found in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/eGqTKp6n. Here, we analyze burn probability, housing density, ember load, and fire intensity datasets from our Pyrologix team to identify wildfire risk warning signs that existed in the Los Angeles area. The blog shares a forecasted analysis of where similar warning signs are prevalent in other communities across the Western US. We hope this data can get into the hands of more communities and land managers mitigating wildfires, motivating more preventative action. 💚

🎉 Big news: Our core model, VibrantVS, sets a new industry standard for forest mapping accuracy. In head-to-head testing, it outperformed the leading benchmark canopy height models from Meta, LANDFIRE & ETH. Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/eEVgsnW5 By delivering a more consistent, accessible representation of landscape vegetation, our customers get better landscape segmentation and more accurate wildfire project planning – supporting more resilient communities, ecosystems, and beyond!

At the largest meeting of earth and space scientists, our science team debuted some of their most innovative work. Their findings are propelling our industry forward, and helping expand our collective understanding of the world around us. Topics included: 🔍 Industry leading canopy height predictions from our core model VibrantVS 💧 How debris and sedimentation from wildfire can impact drinking water 🌲 More comprehensive lifecycle analysis of carbon sequestered in forests And that's just the tip of the spear.
