Drone spraying & seeding for remote and resilient landscapes
Forestry environments are some of the most challenging places to work. Steep terrain, fragile soils, and limited access all demand innovative solutions. At AutoSpray Systems, we’re helping reshape how forestry restoration and maintenance are done, using drone technology to deliver fast, safe, and highly targeted applications even in the most remote locations.
From native tree seeding on mountain slopes to pest control in sensitive woodland, drones allow land managers to reach the unreachable, all without disturbing the environment underfoot.
Trusted by forestry leaders
We’re proud to support national organisations like the Woodland Trust, Forest Research, and Forestry & Land Scotland on a range of pioneering projects, from post-landslide slope restoration to rewilding ancient Highland woodlands.
Our drones are equipped to handle challenging forestry tasks with confidence, using RTK positioning, terrain tracking, and automated return/resume functions to ensure consistent, safe coverage no matter the terrain.
Forestry applications include
-
Tree Seeding
Deliver native tree seeds across steep or inaccessible areas, helping to rewild ancient woodlands and restore landscapes without ground disturbance.
-
Rewilding
Re-seed with native species across heathland and ancient woodland.
-
Pest Control
