WHAT TAKES ROOT GROWS

Nominated as a finalist in Climate Solutions Prize, B.C.’s Tree Track Intelligence an AgTech reforestation company using new customized drones and UAVs technology to help reduce carbon emission in North America and all around the world reaches new heights

“At TreeTrack, we know restoration needs to be smarter and more practical to meet today’s challenges. We’ve figured out how to restore land with greater precision and lower costs. What began as a small team in Vancouver has grown into a company that is driven by science, engineering, and real-world results. Using patent-pending Seedpods, UAV deployment, and satellite tracking, we deliver verified forest restoration — faster, more accurate, and at scale.”

WT: Congrats on being listed as a finalist in the Climate Solutions Prize! What does this mean for you and your team?

Soleimani: Being nominated as a finalist for the Climate Solutions Prize is a meaningful recognition for our team. It validates the importance of what we are building: scalable, measurable restoration technology for landscapes affected by wildfire, climate change, and other disturbances.

For our team, it is also a strong reminder that reforestation innovation is not only about planting more trees, but about improving establishment, restoring ecosystems, and helping communities recover from climate-related impacts.

WT: Tree Track is growing in all the right directions. Please update us on your progress since our last conversation.

Soleimani: TreeTrack has made significant progress. We have now restored more than 350 hectares, deployed more than 2 million Seedpods, and expanded our partnerships with government bodies, NGOs, First Nations, forestry companies, and industrial landholders.

WT: What are a few milestones you can share with us?

Soleimani: One major milestone is that our Seedpod technology has demonstrated strong field establishment in real-world post-wildfire conditions, with third-party validation showing approximately 55% establishment. This is a significant improvement compared with conventional aerial seeding approaches, where establishment is often much lower.

We have also continued advancing our monitoring and verification platform, which helps track restoration outcomes, establishment, site conditions, and long-term performance. This is important because restoration success should not only be measured by how much land is treated, but by what actually establishes and survives overtime.

Recently, TreeTrack has also been active in post-wildfire restoration work in Westbank/Kelowna in partnership with Tree Canada and Westbank First Nation. We are encouraged by the strong establishment we are seeing from previous fall planting work, and we are continuing to improve our Seedpod formulations, deployment methods, and monitoring tools.

Another recent milestone is TreeTrack’s selection as one of Natural Products Canada’s Spring 2026 Commercialization Program recipients. This support is important because it helps us advance the commercialization of our Seedpod technology and strengthens our path from validated field results to broader market deployment.

TreeTrack’s international PCT patent application for its multi-layered Seedpod technology has also now been published by WIPO. The technology remains patent-pending, but this is an important IP milestone for the company.

WT: That is an amazing trajectory! What’s next on your radar?

Soleimani: Moving forward, TreeTrack is focused on scaling commercial deployment across Canada and expanding into additional restoration and reclamation markets. Our near-term priorities include increasing Seedpod manufacturing capacity, securing larger multi-year restoration contracts, strengthening our monitoring and verification platform, and expanding into use cases such as wildfire recovery, mine reclamation, forestry restoration, and vegetation management.

Our long-term goal is to become restoration infrastructure for hard-to-access and climate-impacted landscapes — helping governments, First Nations, forestry companies, mining operators, NGOs, and land managers restore land faster, safer, and with verified outcomes.
