Flash Forest
Flash Forest uses drones to plant seed pods at speed and runs LiDAR-based census surveys to track establishment, a reforestation operator whose planting logs and survey data document establishment and monitoring.
Flash ForestInside Flash Forest
Flash Forest deploys drones to fire seed pods into prepared ground at high daily throughput and uses LiDAR-based census surveys to assess survival and establishment over time.
It is a reforestation-service company rather than a data-platform vendor (no public API), and is heavily grant-funded, including support from Emissions Reduction Alberta. It remained actively operating through 2024 and 2025.
