I know this is an old post, But for future people looking for this answer, Hold down Control & Shift, then drag from the center of the translate tool.

This does not work, at least not with 2019

Still works in Unity 2021! Don't use the arrows of the movie tool but instead, when you hold down Ctrl+Shift, a white square appears in the center of the move tool and that's what you have to drag to snap.

You can create a script to do a RayCast down on the Start method to position your object on the ground. Something like:

RaycastHit hit = new RaycastHit();
if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -transform.up, out hit, Mathf.Infinity)) {
    transform.position = hit.point;
}

Select all trees and then Hold "V" button then hover near a tree edge and move them towards and edge or pivot.
