Each of those trees in 50 years can be expected to weigh an average of 505 kg (1 113pounds) when dry. Since 45% of the dry mass of trees is carbon according to the link below, that each tree will have removed 227kg (500 pounds) of atmospheric carbon.
Unless they are allowed to decay, or are burned, they will not release that carbon (say if they are used for construction). Either way, forest where there was no forest is a great thing. I admire the altruism of what you are doing. Getting financially compensated does not take away from the altruism.
