Army of drones planting 100 million trees by 2024

To make up for the bad news on the rainforest…

Here’s some cool tree planting news

Planting 100 million trees by 2024
Before takeoff, each drone hopper is loaded with specially selected seed pods compatible with the habitat below.

These pods are manufactured using waste biomass, providing a carbon rich coating that protects the seeds from birds, insects and rodents.

"The niche really lies in our biotech, which is the support system for the seed once it's on the ground," says Walker.

“It protects the seed from different types of wildlife, but also supports the seed once it germinates and really helps deliver all of those nutrients and mineral sources that it needs, along with some probiotics to really boost early-stage growth."

Once airborne, the drones navigate fixed flight paths, planting to predefined patterns and recording each seeds' coordinates.

Korea has had something like this for a long time...I remember helping with planting while
stationed military...

Every year, people celebrate Sikmogil Arbor Day (식목일) on April 5. It's a national celebration to promote trees, forests, tree-planting and gardening.
In 1946, the Korean government established Arbor Day with the aim of recovering forested land that had been devastated during colonial occupation (1910-1945).


In 1910, Korea was annexed by the Empire of Japan after years of war, intimidation and political machinations;
the country would be considered a part of Japan until 1945. In order to establish control over its new protectorate,
the Empire of Japan waged an all-out war on Korean culture.


My n-mantis teacher borne in 1930, n-Korea

Once mentioned the Japanese, would go up into the mountains and spike
what some might know as "ley lines" energy lines In the Korean system of Pungsu-jiri 풍수지리
or Feng Shui.

Doseon’s bibo-pungsu-jiri focuses on “harmony with nature.” Compared to the Chinese feng shui system, the Korean system places greater emphasis on the spiritual and material energies of mountains and their effects on communities, rather than on personal fortunes and interior furniture placement.



One of the key ideas behind Doseon’s system is the concept of the baekdu-daegan, the earth-energy “spine” of the Korean Peninsula that powers all things, from mountains and agricultural products to water streams and air.

He said what they did, was to go up into the mountains and drive wooden spikes into areas where the " energy "spine"
was thought to be.... :P

The trees destroyed during the war from the bombing....
I remember even in the 70s the mountains looked kind of bare..

I am planting bamboo which supposedly gives off more oxygen.

But of course it’s not that much…

Still fun

Wait what are the “energy spines”?

백두대간 白頭大幹

The "Baek-du-dae-gan" [white-head great-ridge] is the continuous mountain-range ridge-line that runs from Janggun
Peak of Mt. Baekdu-san on the northern border of the Korean Peninsula down to Cheonwang-bong Peak of Mt. Jiri-san


near its southern end, and the geomantic earth-energy main-stream that (in theory) runs along it.




The Baekdu-daegan is believed by traditionalists of all sorts (Nationalists, Buddhists, Confucians, Shamanists,

Daoists and even many Christians) to continuously feed essential life-energy throughout the land of Korea,
and thus into all its agricultural products and spring-waters, and thus into its people.

My teacher mentioned the Japanese at the time,
were trying to cut this, thus affecting Korea and it's people .

The "Baekdu-daegan" branches off into over a dozen major earth-energy-lines that follow Korea's lesser mountain-ranges, and many minor ones. There are
various different theories that can be found on exactly how many branches and exactly which peaks they run through, but there is agreement on all the main points.through extensive study, I have determined 14 main branches, as listed on this page.

Quite interesting

he Baekdu-daegan chain of mountains forms the backbone of the Korean Peninsula. It has always occupied a very special place in the hearts of Koreans.
More than just a series of rocky ranges, it is the source of the life and dynamic energy of the Korean people and shelters many of their cultural and historical treasures.

I have also been looking into bamboo as a carbon sink recently. it grows fast and stores a lot of carbon apparently. plus, bamboo forests are cool

Too bad we cannot plant 100 million.

Afforest is a cool looking organization BTW
