With extreme weather events plaguing the globe in a near-constant threat to human livelihood, this year more so than any other has caused our collective attention to turn towards the climate crisis.

With April’s arrival comes the anticipation that in just a few short weeks our team will be launching our spring planting operations! This year is particularly exciting as we’ll be hitting some impressive milestones and debuting some new next-level tech. To hear all about it and for details on the sites, keep reading!

With 10x the scale of last year and some game-changing new tech, our spring planting missions are set to be our biggest step up yet. We’ll be working in Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta this year to address the urgent need for post-wildfire reforestation.

Between April and June of this year, our team travelled over 10,000 km and planted over 300,000 seed pods, completing the largest drone reforestation project in Canadian history! We planted 19 different species across 13 sites and couldn’t be more excited about the results.

The team has been putting in countless hours of preparation to make these pilots a success. Look at what we’ve been working on here!

In November we posted job openings for less than a handful of positions and received over 600 applications.

We need your help! Flash Forest has made it into the Top 10 of the New Ventures BC competition, and with this, we’re in the running for a People’s Choice Award.

The team just returned from a trip across the country where we successfully completed three pilot planting operations over the past few weeks!

It was only five-short-months ago when our team was five-people-strong. Since then, we’ve more than doubled!

We have two very exciting pilots coming up this month. One is in Barrie, Ontario and the second pilot is coming up in British Columbia at the end of the month!
