Flash Forest aims to advance its drone-based tree planting technology by integrating AI-driven site selection software, incorporating land-based planting techniques, and diversifying tree species to enhance carbon sequestration. Informed by extensive collaboration with forestry experts and data analysis, Flash Forest has identified site and species selection as critical components of successful reforestation practices. To optimize its planting technology in Alberta, FF proposes a three-phased approach tailored to industries such as forestry, oil and gas, mining, and agriculture.
The strategy emphasizes optimizing germination rates, selecting resilient tree species to address environmental challenges such as drought and wildfires, and utilizing air-based drone embedding or land-based -trencher deployment systems.
