## About

Based in Ontario, Canada, and co-founded by Bryce Jones (CEO), Flash Forest Inc. operates as a reforestation company based on drone technology. In April 2023, the firm raised CAD 11.4 million in series A funding co-led by investors OurCrowd and TELUS Pollinator Fund for Good.

The company offers post-wildfire reforestation, through advanced drone technology merged with UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles), AI (artificial intelligence), GIS (geographic information system), and plant science. The company offers regeneration of lands and areas that are deemed too unsafe for human tree planters, and plants the plant or species which are native to the planting locations, have native to our planting locations, and that thrive in post-burn environments, with an average planting density of 1,000 to 2,000 trees per hectare. The company has also developed self-sustaining seedpods which contain tree seed, water-retention additives, beneficial bacteria and fungi, minerals and nutrients, and a healthy growth medium conditioner, to give seedlings a jump start for the critical first few years of their lives.

The company plans to utilize its April 2023 funding to further develop its platform and expand its market in the US. The company also plans to plant 1 billion trees by 2028.
