Northern Forest Atlas

Videos

NFA Landscape Type Videos illustrate best examples found within the Northern Forest. More Videos includes videos of our filming aircraft and unusual features within the Northern Forest such as impacts by man and beavers in Altered Wetlands and Beaver Chains. Videos of Peatlands-Historical include flights over bogs and peatlands, providing a permanent record of bog condition on dates flown, useful for observing climate change effects over time.

1080p video shooting began in 2007 and we now shoot 4K and 6K from our AirCam (specialized camera airplane) and 2 drones. We periodically replace some older footage.

Videos of Jerry Jenkins field courses are available under COURSES.

Important! Click the gear symbol in lower right corner of video to select highest resolution appropriate for your computer or device, up to 2160p (4K).
