That's not the case. When a tree dies it will be broken down by microbes, animals, fungi, etc and as that happens, all of the co2 it sequestered will be released back into the atmosphere.
The only time this was not true was during the carboniferous period.. before those microbes existed.. that's how we got coal. But that will never happen again.
