×They plan to afforest trees in the desert.

The object of 'afforest' is the land/area being converted to forest, not the trees themselves. The verb already implies planting trees.
×We need to afforest more to reduce air pollution.
✓We need to plant more trees / create more forests to reduce air pollution.
'Afforest' is a specific, formal term for converting land into forest. In general, casual contexts about planting trees, simpler verbs like 'plant trees' or 'reforest' are more natural.
×The area was afforested with pines.
✓The area was afforested (with pines).
Using 'with' to specify the tree type is grammatically correct but often omitted because 'afforest' focuses on the act of creating a forest, not the species. The wrong example is not strictly incorrect but highlights a common over-specification.
×They are afforesting new trees every spring.
✓They are planting new trees every spring. / They are carrying out afforestation projects every spring.
'Afforest' is not typically used in the continuous tense for repeated, small-scale actions. It describes a completed process or large-scale project. For regular tree planting, use 'plant trees'.
×We should afforest the park to make it greener.
✓We should plant more trees in the park to make it greener.
'Afforest' implies establishing a forest where one did not exist, usually on a large scale (e.g., hectares). It is not used for adding trees to an existing park or urban area.
