One person can plant 2,000 new trees in a day
I did not know that one person could plant that many trees. This fact from a Forestry England notice at Abbot’s Wood in Sussex.
I assumed this was with mechanical help, but no, it looks like you get a bag of saplings, make a hole, and poke them in:

That video shows what planting is like, but also flashes up the huge nursery where trees are grown. It’s a tree factory.
They mention 1,500 a day in the video. Close enough to the 2,000 on the sign, especially given that there is a Guinness World Record for this: over 23,000 in a day.
