About Us
We Create Accelerated Solutions
We are an international team of scientists, naturalists, and business people committed to the regeneration of the natural world. We are an open-source non-profit based in Santa Rosa, California, and we harness the emerging technologies of aerial robotics, big data, and seed enhancements to dramatically scale up restoration of priority forestlands, watersheds, and habitats.


Our Mission: Restore Priority Ecosystems
Our leadership team represents diverse cultures and worldviews but together we share a passion for a thriving planet. We believe the survival of countless species including our own depends upon our ability to mitigate climate change and transition into a sustainable relationship with the Earth. We are committed to solutions as far-reaching as the challenges we face.
We have agency. We can shape the future.

Linking Global Efforts
As the world’s only not-for-profit droneseeding company we are uniquely positioned to make critical field and laboratory contributions to open-source SET and droneseeding knowledge banks. In these efforts we collaborate with leading researchers, renowned research institutions, conservation organizations, and local communities. Virtually all future large-scale restoration will depend on these open sources for their information and resourcing. Our methods, materials, and results, all free, will empower individuals and local organizations anywhere in the world to carry out large-scale restoration in degraded ecosystems near them – whether in Congo, Colombia, or California.

The reason I’m here is the same reason many of you may also be here: a desire to help the planet, save endangered species, and save ourselves.
To meet the challenges we face our responses need to be big enough to restore habitats, watersheds, and ecosystems faster than they’re being destroyed. Given that the scope of destruction is a staggering 40 million trees a day, closing that gap will require an equally epic effort. Collaborating with passionate and committed people has always been inspiring.
I feel the Earth is alive. I feel grateful, as do so many people around the world, to know that she’s my mother. She’s home. Her generosity is humbling because she’s given me literally everything I have – my body, the air, food, clothes, shelter, all the people I know, everything I have is made of her. The reason I do this work is simply because I want to help her.
Seven years ago megafires burned much of my hometown to the ground. They also lit a spark inside me into a constant flame. I stopped focusing on the firehoses of bad news and drilled instead for ways to take action. Action on a larger scale, action that could actually make a difference.
Action on a landscape scale.
What I didn’t know at the time was I was looking for something that didn’t exist.
But it was about to be born.
