Visit PERSEUSPERSEUS Program
The PERSEUS program (Promoting Economic Resilience and Sustainability of the Eastern U.S. Forests) advances tools, data pipelines, and collaborative research to support the development of sustainable forestry practices. SETS was developed by PERSEUS researchers at the University of Georgia, and would not be possible without the investment of the PERSEUS program and the support of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
