Using Drones to Fast-Track Reforestation—with DroneSeed

Description

In the past 10 years, forest fires ravaged an average of 7M acres annually in the US. (This is up from 2.6M acres per year in the 10-year period from 1982 to 1992.) The current method of reforestation involves people with shovels, carrying 50-pound bags of one- to two-year-old trees up 60° slopes.

And what if we could do it all with drones?--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reversingclimatechange/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reversingclimatechange/support
