Yes and no. One of the features of climate change is that some wet areas become deserts while some currently-dry areas become wet. Planting trees in an area becoming desert (like California) will only encourage the inevitable disastrous burn.
Planting trees in an area becoming wetter would do a great deal of good. Those trees are likely to survive to scrub CO2.
