Aerial seeding with drones

Groups

Hi All,

I just would like to share a video with some experiments that we made some years ago with aerial seeding from drones and massive seed ball production:

We developed a 3D-printed mechanism for seed release that you can attach to any drone reusing PVC bottles as seed deposit. You can order or download for free (creative commons license) in Shapeways:

I'm writting a paper with the results of the experiments that I will publish here soon.

I hope that you will enjoy and use it for your restoration projects.
