I’ll read articles about either a country planting billions of trees to combat climate change, or a story about a husband and wife taking it upon themselves to plant thousands of trees. Are they planting seeds or saplings? Don’t they need to be watered and fertilized?

Seeds or saplings? When I planted trees, it was saplings. Shove your shovel in the ground, pry open a hole, plop the baby tree in, and on to the next. It’s backbreaking work but it’s satisfying. And yes, a single person can plant literally thousands of trees. It’s not difficult, just tiring.
Water/fertilizer? They get watered by the rain, and fertilized by whatever minerals are in the soil. That’s all they’d get in a forest anyway. Besides, trees are pretty tough.
