we utilize heavy lift drone swarms to reforest uh, immediately after wildfires.

Seattle based startup Drone Seed is on a mission to make reforestation scalable by planting trees literally from the sky.

We're losing forest faster toe wildfire that nature is regenerating it and our systems.

Today, with nurseries and manual labor out there doing superheroes work, it's insufficient to keep up and keep the forest we have.

The company has been using its fleet to distribute tree seeds, fertilizers and pesticide current onto fire damage land to help speed up reforestation.

Thea drones, which are 8 ft in diameter, are capable of carrying £57 worth of parks on flying 8 to 18 minutes at a time.

The vessel is dry fibers, soaks up moisture, helps the seed avoid desiccation or drying out.

Has fertilizer has natural pest deterrents like spicy pepper and the getting carried in £57 groupings and dropped onto the site.

Um, as soon as it's gone, it's Ah, there's there's Z.

When it takes off, it sounds like like bees drain Seeds, says its method plants trees six times faster than doing it manually.

Their projects are starting to cover lands of more than 1000 acres, and reforestation efforts are more urgent now than ever before.

2020 was the worst year on record in terms of destruction caused by wildfires across the U.

The way to think about this is not 0, 2020 was a bad year.

It's 2020 was the coolest year for the next 100 years.

And so as we think about that, like, we can choose a future in which we reforest each year and we have forests.

Or we could look at where the trends are taking us and say there is a future in which there aren't forests in many states, if not all.

In addition to helping with reforestation during, says says its mission also includes mitigating the effects of climate change via carbon capture.

By facilitating mass reforestation, Canary says the company offers a scalable solution to sequester carbon, and it's just a question of Are we gonna build the tools?

Are we going to respond to the damages and impacts that we've already made it by putting in the amount of carbon that's already in the atmosphere today out there.

And so that's what our team has signed up for is how can we be one of those tools?

There are many other tools were by no means the only the silver bullet solution.

 But they were the ones that are scalable today, uh, to buy us more time.
