It's called a farmer's retirement plan. On a paddock that isn't that useful for grazing or crops, they plant pine trees, or something else that grows really big over many years. They do that early, and then just around when they're ready to stop farming, they sell the now fully trees for a tidy profit to help pay for said retirement.
And like any retirement plan, there's always grifters and con artists sniffing around.
Problem is, right now, "sell me your trees for money now" and "don't cut them down for carbon storage" are a little hard to tell apart.
