Ooops. More forest now than in 1920? http://columbiaforestproducts.com/Landowners/Forests
Unlike some regions in the world where deforestation is happening at a rapid pace, the US has actually maintained its forestland for the past 100 years. According to the USDA Forest Service, since 1900, forest area in the US has remained statistically within 745 million acres +/-5% with the lowest point in 1920 of 735 million acres. US forest area in 2000 was about 749 million acres. .
