Using aerial photographs and a PC (personal computer) based photogrammetric instrument, the author measured landscape features to characterize clearcuts in a “multiple‐use” forest of the outskirts of Oslo, Norway. One hundred and forty‐six clearcuts were examined for area and non‐timber features (such as buffer dimensions and residual vegetation). The results of three dimensional digitized data—captured directly off the stereophotos—created the profiles of clearcuts on private and public land. In addition, the application of PC‐based photogrammetry to natural resource management is discussed.
