If you want to incentivize carbon capture you shouldn't focus on PLANTING trees (it's automatic - trees can plant themselves perfectly well without us). The reason there are no trees somewhere is never "nobody planted them". It's either "somebody cut them and does something to prevent them growing back" or "the land isn't good for trees". So planting the trees is never the solution. Buying farming land and reserving it for forest (that will grow by itself) is much more efficient.
