Mobile App for Reforestation Professionals

Background

In 2023, British Columbia (B.C.), Canada's westernmost province and a hub of innovation, launched the revitalized B.C. Gov Digital Marketplace to foster collaboration between the tech industry and the public sector. Through the “Code With Us” program, the Government of British Columbia selected DSR Corporation for multiple projects, recognizing its expertise in decentralized systems and extensive experience in mobile app innovations and identity solutions.

One of the province’s flagship sustainability projects, “Forests for Tomorrow,” a reforestation initiative that plants over 218 million trees annually, required a mobile app to enhance efficiency for program managers and field planters. Understanding DSR’s specialized capabilities, the BC Government engaged the company to design and develop a reforestation tracking app, streamlining efforts and advancing sustainability goals.
