Watch: How Drones Can Plant and Protect Trees After Wildfires

2/6/2019

 
Picture
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 do that with drone swarms, so not just one drone, but up to five at a time.  What's valuable about that is each aircraft can carry up to 57 pounds of payload, so that's seed, that's spray. We are the first ever to get that FAA approval to allow for aircraft over the 55-pound limit."
