Ground Truth is where forestry pros and data nerds converge.
Forests are having a bit of a glow-up. Around the world, reforestation isn’t just about planting trees anymore. It’s a high-stakes, high-tech operation powered by AI, satellite imagery, blockchain (yes, really), and bold cross-sector alliances. And with growing calls for accountability, the industry is shifting from “just trust us” to “here’s the data.”
The voices featured below are part of that evolution. From seedling whisperers in nurseries to climate-tech builders coding the future, these contributors offer a behind-the-scenes look at how collaboration and transparency are reshaping the green frontier.
One trend ties them all together: reforestation efforts that are not only ambitious, but trackable, transparent, and data-driven. At Ground Truth, we’re documenting this seismic shift—because the future of forests is being written in code, satellites, and yes, spreadsheets.
