The tech: tracking collars

The rest: Breed wolves, attach tracking collars, and lobby your local representatives to pass laws that impose hefty punishments on anyone who would kill the wolves.

Introduce the wolves to areas you'd like to see tree growth. They'll prey on the the predators who prey on the seeds and saplings, and the trees will grow.

Use the tracking collar data to monitor their territory coverage. Breed and distribute more wolves as needed. You can also use this data to bring assailants to justice, should you succeed in passing the no-kill laws.

Note there are many biomes where trees cannot thrive naturally, where natural forces may make it difficult or impossible for forests to take root long-term, such as the American Great Plains.
