Wildfires don’t end when the flames go out, they leave a dangerous legacy. As we enter the first phase of the wildfire recovery on more than 200 hectares in Serra da Lousã we are facing a new reality of reforestation of this burned mountain terrain. Falling burnt trees, erosion carving new paths down the slopes, landslides threatening waterlines, and thousands of invasive mimosa seeds activated by fire.

Facing decades of erosion and neglect, we’re transforming invasive monocultures into thriving ecosystems — like this agroforest that, despite its young age, had a key role in the wildfire battle.

What if the most powerful reforestation tool isn't a shovel, but a drone? Learning to fly an agricultural drone is humbling. There are mistakes, recalibrations, moments where you wonder if you bit off more than you can chew. But then the seeds start falling, and the mountain starts answering. This is the full story of how the seeding drone became one of the most unexpected allies in the regeneration of these mountains. From those first clumsy flights over burnt terrain to watching green slowly push through the ash, we documented it all, without skipping the messy parts. But this isn't just about one drone operation. We sat down with the entire Silveira Tech team to go deeper, exploring what this technology really means for the future of mountain regeneration. From post-fire recovery seeding to long-term interventions like controlling invasive mimosas or eucalyptus and restoring biodiversity at scale. Technology and nature were never enemies. We just had to find the right way to introduce them. Welcome to the next chapter of Silveira Tech.
