Watch: How Drones Can Plant and Protect Trees After Wildfires

2/6/2019

Bloomberg Technology's Brad Stone interviewed DroneSeed CEO Grant Canary on his company's use of drone technology to plant native trees and vegetation after devastating wildfires. "We do precision forestry. As you mentioned, per acre per service, planting trees, spraying to protect them, and monitoring their growth.

We are the first ever to get that FAA approval to allow for aircraft over the 55-pound limit."
