Equipment installed in the huge C-130 transport aircraft used by the military for laying carpets of landmines across combat zones has been adapted to deposit the trees in remote areas including parts of Scotland.
An idea, originally from a former RAF pilot, Jack Walters, of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, has been developed by the US manufacturer Lockheed Martin Aerospace so that 900,000 young trees can be planted in a day.

I want to see this.
 
There's a lake in the middle of a bunch of farmland up where my grandparents used to live, and during the 1930s it became a WPA project to turn the area into a recreational park. The land around the lake was muddy and swamp-like to the point that there was very little land available for buildings and lakeside real estate. Planting lots of trees in the area would help dry it out and stabilize the soil.

So, they packed a bunch of seeds into sodballs, loaded 'em into a plane, flew over the area and pitched 'em out. The ground was soft-enough that the seeds buried themselves. Today there is a huge grove of trees and a nice park there.
 
Sounds interesting! Until someone is walking around where they shouldn't be when they start dropping this stuff out of the plane...
