The problem even with that is that an old, standing tree and a young one are very different in their ability to provide the services we seek from them.
Every tree must be municipally approved, plant one on your own without the city’s consent and without using their services and you will be heavily fined and asked to remove the tree at the very least
I recently learned that there’s a group dedicated to planting 1000 trees in the city of Trenton, NJ, USA. I’m really glad to see a city working to bring back a little nature!
In Vienna, Austria, Europe, every tree removed has to be replaced with a new as per regulation

Same in Oslo
In Toronto Canada if you plant trees you get arrested
For real though?
