If our civilization would switch to individual wood houses, assuming that cut trees were regrown, that would allow to capture quite a sizeable chunk of carbon as well.

Eg:
You have a forest of trees that take 20 years to mature
You cut the trees and regrow the forest every 20 years
You use the timber to build houses (or furniture or whatever) that are _on average_ replaced after 60 years.
This will pull 3x the carbon from the atmosphere than just the forest by itself
