Afaik I can't just plant trees anywhere I want and might be liable for damage I do while planting trees or if I plant it unsafely so it falls on someone.
Can someone correct me on that? It came up at least one other time in this thread already.

(The only mention about volunteers is "[Writing secure and stable software] cannot be accomplished long-term by the efforts of volunteers alone") > The tree example is on earth day as part of a group, planting in an approved area Thank you for the context that was not obvious to me.
