We have a problem.
The world has 10 years remaining.
“The world has 10 years remaining to prevent a massive and destabilising climate change through combined rapid phase-out of fossil fuels, reforestation and other natural climate solutions.”

Global net loss of trees per year
Agriculture, commodity-based manufacturing, forestry and wildfires are the major contributors to global deforestation.

A Rapid reforesting response is urgently required.
Extreme weather events directly attributed to climate change are increasing and subsequently accelerating the rate of deforestation through devastating wildfires.
Entire ecosystems and wildlife communities have been wiped out with some species close to extinction. We need to urgently restore these devastated areas and accelerate the reforestation and revegetation process.

THE 4 BENEFITS OF RAPID-RESPONSE REFORESTATION AND REVEGETATION
01
Restores and rebuilds habitats faster for our wildlife.
02
Improves air quality and sequesters carbon emitted by fires.
03
Prevents carbon and other toxins entering our waterways and oceans.
04
Improves soil stability and helps prevent climate change disasters including soil erosion and flooding.
We could increase the world’s forest cover by 0.9 billion hectares without affecting existing cities or agriculture.
Join our missionWhy don't we plant more trees?
Traditional (or manual) planting solutions continue to be slow, labour intensive, expensive and ineffective in mitigating today’s rate of deforestation.
+6mth
Seedling cultivation time
Seedlings are grown in controlled nursery environments which are expensive and time consuming.
Refrigerated supply lines are required to transport seedlings from nursery to planting area. Some areas are inaccessible either due to difficult terrain or bushfire damage.
Existing manual planting techniques are slow, labour intensive and expensive.
To replant the world’s forests and mitigate climate change we need global-sized solutions.
Introducing
Airseed
A global and scalable solution.
Reforestation through drone technology, artificial and data-driven intelligence.
AirSeed has developed a proprietary, innovative and scalable solution for reforestation and revegetation that is faster and cheaper than traditional manual planting practices.
40K
Seed pods planted per day vs. 800 seedlings per day by a manual tree planter.
25x
Faster than traditional hand-planting methods.
Advanced drone systems and seed pod technology
Using parts from industry-leading suppliers, AirSeed custom designs and builds heavy-lift drone platforms, delivering stable, high-performance flight characteristics for our operational needs.
The reforestation process
Mapping and Ground Truthing
Terrain mapping, soil analysis and ecosystem modelling occurs to identify beneficial species and respective seed pod biotech design.
Seed Pod Manufacturing
A soil and species specific, nutrient rich seed pod is manufactured onsite using our proprietary seed pod mobile manufacturing plant.
Planning and Planting
Drones fly autonomously, planting up to two seed pods per second whilst logging the GPS location of every seed pod planted.
Post-Planting Monitoring
Re-map planted areas to monitor seedling growth and implement proactive protection measures such as weed detection and management.
