We routinely plant over a billion trees each year in the USA. Tree planting is a huge industry. We have tractor attachments that can mass plant some species.

I had a friend who planted trees for a summer job. He said it was good money for a summer job and they got paid something like $0.20/tree.

I saw that on tiktok myself. But apparently only the experts at tree planting make good money and it takes a few seasons to get good.
