An interesting way to replant forests. They make pucks of seeds, fertilizer, and anti-vermin contents so the seeds don't get simply eaten. One drone makes a map of the area, then software sends out the seed drones to strategically drop the seed pucks over an area. Ta da! Reseeding done!

drone killers line up
https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/z3bb59/report-on-537-anti-drone-systems-shows-how-wild-the-market-has-become
"This week, the Center for the Study of the The Drone at Bard College published a research paper on counter-drone technology that includes a list of 537 counter-drone systems displaying jaw-dropping diversity, from hand-held guns that detect a drone’s radio-frequency and blast it with microwaves to ground installations that listen for drones and fire a net.
According to the report, which covers the legal framework for these tools as well as their effectiveness, not all drone downers are created equal, however. Jamming a drone might work great on the playground, but could get you arrested at the airport. And more advanced drones are immune to older counter-measures, the report found."
I think it's going to be a while before this all shakes out.
