I just came across an article on the new scientist website that provides a nice balance to the blog entry last week on tree deaths doubling due to climate change. A British company is developing technology which will allow for forests to be re-planted from the air. The technique allows a helicopter to deploy around 200 trees in a single trip, with the benefits of speeding up replanting and allowing it to take place in inaccessible areas.
It's good to know that people are still coming up with new and innovative solutions to combat some of the environmental issues that need to be addressed. Hopefully tests will prove the method to be successful and it can play a role in reforesting regions around the world.
