https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Planted_Trees
It mentions somewhere near the bottom that there was widespread belief that this was a true story, but this was not the case, written to promote and encourage people to plant trees.
My bad.
however the search "the man who planted a forest" also brought up the Indian man who planted a significent acreage of forest on a sandbar.
