This data layer represents the canopy height of Minnesota where the second generation of statewide lidar has been collected as part of the USGS 3D Elevation Program. It is a normalized digital surface model that was developed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Knowing the canopy height provides critical information for understanding the physical characteristics of a forest.
