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.

The Oregon Small Woodlands Association (in cooperation with the American Tree Farm System) is already suggesting their membership apply pressure to the Government (both Oregon and US)to make this offset program (Carbon Sequestration) a reality..........Bad News! Hate to have those types of organizations involved in this Ponzi schemes. Tree farmers grow trees for other reasons. Tree growers receipt of these “ill gotten gains” does nothing to reduce (the highly suspect) green house gas accumulation.
