    to convert their source of income into land for trees?

    The correct trees are income. Less than other sources. But I spose that is where gov needs to step in. But well managed wood cultivation is both CO2 absorbing and would reduce the huge transport harm imported wood causes.

    Also, wood is getting insanely costly in the UK due to import costs. It may help other industries.

    Also wood absorbs more Co2 in early growth so 10-50 year (depending on wood type). Replant and Investments plans in such land can be very effective.
