Raining Forests (1x3)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Kas 05, 2008

Following the devastation of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, thousands of acres of Gulf Coast mangrove forests have been left bare. The huge swath of land presents a perfect proving ground for scientist Mark Hodges. Hodges believes he has devised a way to reforest large areas of Earth from the air. His idea? To use an aircraft to drop tens of thousands of canisters, each holding a tree seedling. The task force will carry out a series of tests to determine the type of aircraft, the delivery mechanism, canister design and whether or not the seeds will self-plant.
