About Event

Put on your Sunday best, grab a mimosa and join us for a talk by the amazing Grant Canary, CEO of DroneSeed about scalable and strategic reforestation.

Many plans for climate change mitigation and species conservation call for reforestation on degraded land, after forest fires and for key animal migration corridors. Reforestation efforts are currently limited by its labour intensive nature (particularly in hard to reach places), limited nursery supply chains and expensive early upkeep.

DroneSeed makes reforestation scalable through heavy drone fleet tree planting, special seed nutrient formulation and early forest maintenance.

Following a 30 minute talk + Q&A, we’ll break out into smaller discussion groups for the awesome folks in the community to meet each other.

Friends are welcome! See y’all in glorious 2D.
