Serious things need serious effort to spend money and allow resources. And the will to keep spending until you succeed.
Nobody would drive a car made by volunteers or go to a war without thinking into spending serious money so, why we still think that saving nature can be done cheaply?, why we think that can solve our biggest problem with just a beach shovel, a couple of donuts and praying for rain?
Hire a few people, by Picea's sake!
We need to put professionals that know what are doing here. They were replaced with free labor and let the saplings at the mercy of the weather and here are the poor results. School children doing unpaid job for a day is heartwarming, but bad management and mostly useless. Is just a publicity stunt.
Saving nature requires resources, not selfies.

Unfortunately that appetite naturally attracts opportunists that will do anything to game the metrics set by the people spending the resources. Not saying that's a reason not to try, but our willingness to spend must be tempered by a careful vetting of anyone willing to be paid.
