I would really like to plant a whole bunch of trees on my property. Is there someone who will pay me to do it?

I would like to neglect the lawn so the grass grows 4 feet high. You suppose I could get somebody to pay me to sit on my butt on the weekend?

Sorry, Honey! I can’t mow the lawn! I already sold the Carbon Credits!

There are government forestry programs that do this. I am unsure if the landowner has to pay for something for this, but the more acerage, the better. They bring in crews with machines and plant by the acre. However, the people I know who have done this mention that it is largely evergreens, which emit terpenes.

What about Weyerhaeuser, Georgia Pacific, Boise Cascade, etc? Don't they deserve massive carbon credits for the many millions (maybe billions) of trees they plant and nurture annually?
