Wouldn't a better solution be to encourage more things built of wood? Cut the trees down and use them, while replacing with more.

E.g. Encourage more wooden houses and your not only capturing carbon but storing it separately so more can be captured in that same place.

While there are probably many better solutions, you would think whatever they are we need something that can continue to capture carbon ongoing. A forest, as great as they are for a plethora of reasons, is fairly finite in terms of carbon capture.
