Climate change is a major issue of concern worldwide. Trees are currently among the best ways to capture carbon. DroneSeed has been a leader in mass reforestation by drone, and is uniquely able to reforest after wildfires. We'll explore the evolution of technological needs to support this goal. Let's talk about how we went from the idea of combining biology with the emerging drone industry, to arrive at the realities of a startup putting seeds on the ground in post-wildfire environments.
