    Skyforest AB opens next phase of drone seedling inventory

    When we covered Skyforest's drone-based seedling inventory in Three Paths to Precision Reforestation, the system was proving it could geolocate individual seedlings from high-resolution aerial imagery using computer vision trained to pick young trees out of ground cover. Founder Johnny Johansson is now opening the next phase, recruiting forestry companies for field trials, research partners for validation, and investors to scale the system.

    Three Paths to Precision Reforestation

    Most "precision forestry" starts when trees are big enough to show up in satellite or airborne data. Seedlings, the start of every stand, are effectively invisible at those scales. A new generation of tools now makes seedling-level mapping realistic at scale. This article looks at three complementary approaches: drone-based seedling inventory (Skyforest), manual tool-mounted logging (STA system by TerraLab), and robotic planting and mapping (Södra BraSatt).
