The 2024 Impact Report showcases how we supported 1,817 youth in Quebec and Saskatchewan through equity-centered, skills-based programs, partnering with 172 employers and over 50 organizations to improve career pathways—especially for Indigenous and underserved communities.

Explore the dynamic world of drone reforestation through the eyes of Roshen Abrahamson, our field ops veteran and Logistics Generalist. In this interview, we uncover what life is really like in the bush, as well as the strategic planning and logistical challenges involved in deploying our high-tech drones to transform landscapes.

Silviculture is at the core of Flash Forest’s reforestation efforts, guiding our strategy from seed to thriving forest. In this exclusive interview, we sit down with Quirin Hohendorf, our Silviculture Manager, to delve into the science and practices that drive our mission. From understanding the intricate details of tree growth to implementing innovative techniques for forest recovery, Quirin shares invaluable insights into how Flash Forest is transforming barren and burnt landscapes into lush, resilient ecosystems.

Innovation is key to tackling the global need for accelerated reforestation, and our team is dedicated to developing solutions that make a real impact. In this interview, Engineering Lead Badriveer Thota delves into the innovative technology behind our drone deployment systems, the technology and software behind them, and the challenges and triumphs of environmental engineering.

One of the main advantages to our work here at Flash Forest is the speed and scale of our solution, made possible by the work of our automated manufacturing process.

At Flash Forest, our mission to combat climate change through automated reforestation hinges on the innovative work of our plant science team.

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.

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

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!
