According to the wiki at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_ball https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_ball, the earliest records of aerial reforestation date back from 1930. In this period, planes were used to distribute seeds over certain inaccessible mountains in Honolulu after forest fires. This article quotes the lead professor as saying doing it with big aircraft is expensive and poses logistic problems. So the only way to do it is through drones. I respect people trying to achieve maximum output with minimal resources. > Dropping seeds instead of bombs seems like a plan that John Lennon would approve of. That sounds like a bold statement, but I’m certainly willing to approve of it :) Good job.
