Spring Ops 5 - That's a Wrap!

Spring planting in the boreal forest operates on a narrow window.

Three to four days when snowmelt peaks and soil moisture is at its highest. Miss it, and germination rates drop significantly.

This year, our drone deployment at Assinica, Quebec landed inside this window thanks to months of preparation by the team.

Thousands of seed pods are now in the ground, placed precisely across the terrain, with conditions timed to give each one the best chance of establishment.

This is what eight months of silviculture planning, pod manufacturing, and flight preparation was built for.
