Forest plays an important part in the sustainable development. Digital forest implementation will be helpful in cognizing and managing the forest. The paper discusses the programming theory of digital forest construction, and constructs the basic framework of digital forest using a series of modern information technologies, including integration of GPS, GIS and RS, software development and computer network. Taking monitoring of forestry biological pest as a thematic application case and adopting a series of successfully developed systems, this paper validates that it is feasible to implement digital forest with this method.
