Sustainable forestry is not a particularly complicated business, and if you are selling the wood for buildings etc. the carbon is not released back into the atmosphere for quite some time.
A lot of jurisdictions are looking at updating building codes so you can use treated wood for larger construction projects. If this was done in a number of large markets, it could reduce demand for concrete, which is the number two contributor to GHG emissions.
UBC completed a wooden 18 story apartment building a couple years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G22kYhaT-h4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G22kYhaT-h4
