#reforestation

Many of the great wonders of the world, from iconic buildings to national parks, are preserved and open to the public, but some are tucked away on private land where only a few can enjoy them. One such wonder-a natural spring-fed lake just an hour north of New Orleans-opened to the public for the first time last summer, giving Louisianans and visitors access to a surreal, bright-blue lake lined with white sand beaches.

At the end of 2022, Vik Kambli, chief operating officer and leader of people operations for veritree, says the company's pivot from remote working to a hybrid schedule happened somewhat organically. The Vancouver-based climate-tech platform, which verifies, tracks and measures reforestation, is a spinoff of the sustainable clothing company tentree and was just a year into operations at the time.

TreeSoil is an earthen structure produced through robotic 3D printing, designed to protect young trees in degraded environments by creating microclimates favorable to early growth. Drawing on ancient agricultural practices, where soil and stone were shaped into protective structures for crops, TreeSoil reenacts these methods through computational design and robotic fabrication. To enhance sapling survival rates, each TreeSoil prototype is informed by local climatic data, optimizing airflow, solar radiation, and moisture retention.
