I'd like to see the math on those 88k acres. If it's that simple, then the solution to climate change must be to cut down all the forests and install solar panels, right? By the math you'd see a 366x reduction in carbon. But, you wouldn't because it doesn't work that way.

Plus sequestration is is a term that's being misinterpreted and misapplied with reckless abandon these days. If a forest grows and then you cut and harvest the timber, that carbon is still sequestered in the wood. Then when the forest regrows, guess what? More carbon is sequestered in the wood. More importantly, sequestration is one of the least important things a forest can do for overall environmental health.
