Depending on the cycle time for regrowth, this could be an excellent plan to recover from deforestation caused by legal and illegal clear cutting done throughout the world.

dropping tree bombs and planting fake carbon-absorbing trees by highways should be done, asap!

Drop tree bombs

Some geo-engineers believe we can generate almost-instant forests by dropping "tree bombs" from a plane.

It may sound outlandish, but this is one idea that has garnered some credibility because it successfully regenerated mangrove forests after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
