"A pioneering drone seeding initiative in south-west England – one of the
largest of its kind using native tree seeds to date – has the potential to
transform rainforest restoration, say those involved.
The project, by the Woodland Trust, has seen high-tech drones scatter 75,000
seeds across the Bodmin landscape in Cornwall.
The drones, which weigh 110kg and can carry up to 58kg of seeds each, hover a
few metres above the ground and can access areas where the planting of trees by
hand isn’t feasible.
Joining forces with the South West Rainforest Alliance, the Woodland Trust aims
to use the technique to triple the land area of temperate rainforest across
Cornwall and Devon from 8% to 24% by 2050."
