Battling to save forests have been a tough fight, with a million acres of forest land destroyed every year due to wildfires and climatic changes the fight has only got tougher.  Can drones speed up the process of replanting forests?

Restoring a forest after a wildfire has always been a tedious task, as stated by Motherboard the standard practice is to survey a site with its soil conditions by seeding. Seeding could take years to achieve as it is done by hand.

DroneSeed a forest service company has arose with a new solution; it has stated that a drone can seed half an acre of land in one shot. It has the potential to begin seeding almost immediately. Once a forest is burnt or destroyed by wildfire it does not need years anymore to replant.

With a focused business plan DroneSeed assures to move faster than any other drone companies, DroneSeed has drones that could launch seeds, spray herbicide on invasive species and also helps in monitoring plant growth as per Popular Science. It has partnered with Canadian and American forestry's already.

It seems that fast replanting is crucial at the moment due to habitats and budgets, but with DroneSeed's sophisticated technology it has enough data to create immersive 3D models of a site. First a flight plan is drafted which allows the drone to follow a programmed operation or a small fleet of drones have the potential to pursue individual targets.

Despite the promises it seems that DroneSeed is still not ready to begin offering planting services, this is because bureaucracy changes slowly. It is required for the company to start commercial spraying with an FAA clearance. Thought it is a complicated process it is sure to make things better especially when a forest is burned down to ashes.
