You can probably take a drone with a load of seeds much easier to remote areas than shipping large numbers of few year old trees.

Areas that are too remote aren't typically the ones that get deforested though - generally trees are removed either because they're valuable (and if you can bring trees out, you can bring seedlings in) or because the land is wanted (which usually means it's accessible).
It's neat technology, and I hope they succeed, I just worry it's a cheap way to say "we're planting thousands of trees" while doing very little of value.
