Community volunteer hoping to control environmental weed invasion

Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I am part of a community group in Torquay Victoria that is doing environmental weed control on a coastal clifftop. In some locations there is a 100m sheer cliff face where infestations of environmental weeds continues to grow. The seeds they produce are distributed by wind and so on onshore days the seed blows back up the clifftop into an area of conservation significance. To date we have had some success controlling it by abseiling and manually removing the weed. However, we would like to explore the possibility of achieving the same aim with drone technology. We believe a drone would only need to carry a 500ml to 750ml maximum payload (therefore keeping under the 2kg rules for special licensing in Australia). Can you help? Looking forward to your reply, Graeme Stockton
