[Talk-us] Maine leaf-off imagery?

[Kevin]

I use https://coast.noaa.gov/inventory/ quite a lot to see what elevation
products (usually looking for lidar) are available for any given area.

So LIDAR was flown in 2016 in the Bethel area.
https://coast.noaa.gov/dataviewer/#/lidar/search/where:ID=6264
There's an option to bulk download the raw laz files.  I'm curious what
your process is for incorporating the lidar into osm.
