About Us

Flash Forest is a reforestation company that uses aerial mapping software, drone technology, automation, ecological science, and a lot of passion to reforest post-wildfire areas at a rapid pace. We accelerate the rate of reforestation worldwide. Instead of humans on the ground, we transfer the hard labour to drones. Living in the age of technology, we can effectively harness this to restore entire ecosystems, scaling the global quest for carbon neutrality. Flash Forest is here to tip the scales in the global ecological crisis.

With primary locations in Mississauga and Vancouver, we are excited to have you as part of our team as we expand to the world. This role is based in Vancouver, BC. The position will be mostly remote, but you may be required to travel across the province for periods of time.
