Unlocking Forestry Data with Microsoft Power Query & Power BI

Forestry generates large amounts of data, and making sense of it is key to informed decisions. This webinar will introduce Microsoft Power Query and Power BI, two accessible tools that can transform the way you work with information.

Participants will learn how Power Query can streamline cleaning and organizing data from multiple sources, saving time and reducing errors. We’ll also explore how Power BI can turn complex datasets into clear, interactive dashboards and visualizations, making it easier to communicate findings to colleagues, clients, and stakeholders. A prerecorded session will demonstrate these tools in action, and Kari Easthouse, Digital Forestry Consultant, will join afterward to discuss how forestry professionals can apply them in a practical context.

This webinar is part of a series showcasing innovative technologies and practical tools that enhance how forestry professionals collect, analyze, and apply data. This series is brought to you by the Nova Scotia Forestry Economic Task Force, Forest Nova Scotia, and Greenspring Bioinnovation Hub.
