Arootz - Transforming the Future of Tree Planting

The objective of this thesis project is to cultivate a design solution that delivers a sustainable tree planting method that facilitates a smoother planting experience while negating the strenuous physical undertaking of planting a tree. The proceeding will rely on participant's interviews and user observation to obtain a better understanding of the challenges the tree planting community confronts with each planting season. The culminated design solution will enable tree planters to safely and proficiently plant trees while simultaneously enhancing the survival of each tree planted. This approach could eventually be applied in the Silviculture and Reforestation industries and will be applied in woodlands and backwoods worldwide.
