Actually you want to cut down trees, mainly the oldest ones, then plant new ones.

Growing trees take out more CO2 than older trees. Probably get some GMO trees going.

Wouldnt the co2 from the older trees just make it back into the system though? Offsetting the gains from the new tree

Depends on what you do with it. Burn it for fuel or let it rot, yes. Build with it, and it stays sequestered.

Only if you burn them, use them for something like a house then nope. Also even if you did burn them it doesn't release all the carbon they ever sequestered.
