TreeRover, the tree-planting robot 

Many students spend their summers tromping through slash-piles and battling blackflies to replant Canada's forests. Two University of Victoria engineering undergrads took a different approach: they built a tree-planting robot with the idea of supplementing the humans' hard work.
“TreeRover" is the brainchild of two third year UVic electrical engineering students, Nick Birch and Tyler Rhodes. As part of an entrepreneurial co-op work term, they merged their love for the forests of Vancouver Island with their passion for sustainable technologies by forming a company-Iota Enterprises-to build this prototype of a reforestation robot.
