This spring, in an area north of Toronto that had previously burned in a wildfire, drones hovered over fields, "firing seed pods into the ground, planting native pine and spruce trees to help restore habitat for birds." According to a report by Fast Company, Flash Forest, the Canadian startup behind the project, plans to use its technology to plant, in one month, 40,000 trees in the area. As it expands to other regions, by the end of the year it will plant hundreds of thousands of trees. The startup's goal is to have planted a full 1 billion trees by 2028.
