Startup attempting to use drones to plant 36,000 trees a day

“BioCarbon Engineering wants to use drones for good, using the technology to seed up to one billion trees a year, all without having to set foot on the ground. 26 billion trees are currently being cut down every year while only 15 billion are replanted. First, drones flies above an area and report on its potential for restoration, then they descend to two or three metres above ground and fire out pods containing seeds that are pre-germinated and covered in a nutritious hydrogel.”

I’ll have to seriously up my game from my minimum 100 trees a year.

If you are interested in tree-planting drones, I recall another article I posted on aerial reforestation using military aircraft. The drones add a whole other dimension of possibilities.
