Tree Seedling Delivery using Drones becomes a Reality

While pizza deliveries seem to have caught the press and news articles eye, this innovation in the use of drones can equally show the true potential of these tools being used in the forestry sector.

Traditionally planters need to restock their seedling supplies manually by returning back to the stock pile reducing productivity through downtime associated with ferrying new trees supplies, and increasing exhaustion rates of the workers sometimes carrying large loads in steep country.

Here planters have the trees delivered direct to them, together with items such as fresh drinking water and snacks as they need throughout the day.
