That's a rosy, invalid assumption and equivocation. Climate drying, and effectively biome changes in the direction of desertification, across much of western North America and other parts of the world due to climate change isn't conducive to replacing biomass lost to forest fires caused by multi-year droughts.

I'm assuming this is done as a part of an effort to actually regrow and maintain forests as natural carbon sinks, and not some weird thing where trees are grown in the desert.
