Efforts to significantly expand the U.S. forest carbon sink would benefit from a careful consideration of the nation's history of tree planting and forest investment and the current structure of timber supply and demand. Establishing additional forests can be accomplished with direct funding of tree planting on private land, but the structure of land markets suggests a high potential for benefit leakage when planting expands timber supplies.
