Interesting story and I appreciate your courage to share it.
The delay in payment would seem like the biggest hurdle here although your idea of selling futures is innovative. The ones holding the futures would be depending on the careful cutting of the loggers today who would have walked away at that point. So I think that would be a potential failure point.
I think most people cannot plan one year in advance much less ten.
Just curious, how many tree planters are there today? We plant not for ourselves but for the future generations.

While true for the average person, I'd say successful businesses and individual wealthy investors (at least those who didn't inherit their wealth or win the lottery) _are_ good at planning ten years ahead. So that potential failure point is perhaps far less likely than you might think.
