Yeah I got a bit side tracked talking about how fires have been more intense in recent years and now “big, old, trees” are dying in fires where they didn’t in the past.

Still, and I don’t know how applicable this is to other places, but here in Australia fires are an important part of plant life cycles.

First Nations people used to burn areas for a variety of reasons, one of which is that it would attract marsupials in the coming weeks and days coming to eat the new shoots bursting through the ground after a fire. So you could burn an area within walking distance from your camp, and over the next few weeks have a ready herd of kangaroos hanging around from which to cull a few.

Not really relevant but firehawks aparently spread fires. Also a lot of Australian plants are stimulated to germinate after being exposed to heat and smoke.

I guess my point is, spreading seeds after a fire isn’t a problem that needs solving. Fire is a natural process and the bush generally bounces right back quicker than you’d expect.
