The Idaho Lidar Consortium (ILC) is the technical lead for lidar and the state lidar champion. The ILC was first established in 2013 and has been paramount for the initiation and upkeep of continued lidar data acquisition throughout the State of Idaho. Continuous statewide lidar data for Idaho is publicly shared through this website.

Why Use Lidar?
Lidar is one of the most important geospatial innovations of the 21st century. Providing a detailed picture of the earth’s surface and everything on it, elevation and surface data derived from lidar are the foundation for disaster assessment and mitigation efforts, agriculture techniques that save time and resources, and siting of new transportation infrastructure. These are just three examples of the many well-documented benefits that lidar has for the State of Idaho.
