Not really, forest fires happen and then a few hundred of years of sequestered CO2 gets released back in an instant.

Organic material with oxygen gas floating around is not stable.

Sequestering carbon into the ocean might be a better strategy. Not flammable and not subject to stupid capitalism effects around land prices.

The ocean has already absorbed 30% of the CO2 humanity has emitted. It causes issues: ocean acidity rises, which reduces plankton ability to grow. Plankton being the base of the ocean food chain, all ocean life gets impacted.

You'd need to find a way to sequester carbon without it leaching in the water.

Random idea: What if we just sequestered it into elemental carbon pellets and let it sink to the bottom of the ocean? It should not react with the water.

One idea is to charcoal the wood, it makes it harder to decompose and is similar to pure carbon. I'm not sure if it's better to send it to the bottom of the ocean or just to a big hole on land.

The big hole on land could be dangerous if a fire ever gets there. I suppose, maybe a big hole in the middle of northern Canada might be fine
