What if people happen to be wondering there during the tree bombing campaign?

I doubt human casualties or even injuries are acceptable.

Why would you some crazy aerial methods in locations where humans can casually stroll? The entire point here is to do it in unreachable places.

When it comes to human casualties, “unreachable places” probably won’t cut it. You’ll need to be 100% sure there are no humans in there at all, short of maybe uncontacted/unknown hominid species.

A potential solution would be to announce the operation months/years in advance and actively prohibit access to the areas during that time.
