Hiring a small army of people to march out into the woods to plant seeds seems potentially counterproductive.

- xemoka 9y agoBut yet, this is how it's done across Canada. Thousands of people plant trees for $0.115 - $0.35 a tree (depending on land, seedling size, etc). Seedlings come in a number of sizes (they survive better than seeds) and humans are supremely efficient at locating the best places for survival and actually inserting the tree. We've done many studies (UBC) to find better ways, manual planting still seems to be winning.
