With the Amazon fires, and generally the gloomy mood surrounding climate change, I want to do my part and plant some trees. But where? You can't just plant a tree on the first grassy knoll you come across. Or can you?<p>Looking globally. Any help would be amazing!

Ask your local government if you can plant a tree there. Ask some neighbors who have yards if you can plant a shade tree, or a fruit tree, or a privacy-screen tree for them. Ask a business with a bare dirt median in their parking lot if you can plant a tree or a bush there.
Are you trying to grow from seedlings?<p>If so, you can use starter pods (proper name?), and get some little saplings going. Then move over to bigger and bigger containers, and eventually post on craigslist or something "Want a tree?".<p>I wish I had a pine tree.
Probably most impact is buying some square meters of rainforest. There are many NGOs which organize such attempts. This is probably much more helpful then putting another tree in your backyard.
If you're worried about the air and our environment, sure plant a tree, but pay for Carbon Capture.<p>YC's funded some cool Carbon Capture startups and they make an immediate difference.
