Forests play very important role in keeping heat and temperature down
and they help in controlling overall global warming. But unfortunately, increase in use of
wood furniture and other wood items has decreased the size of forests
significantly. Do you know about the states in the US with most forests? InsiderMonkey has gathered the information about ten most forested states in
the United States.
If you ever thought that most of the beautiful forests in
the US are federal, then you would be surprised to hear that 59% of the total
forest land in the US is private. Public entities together with the state
government make up 10%, which means that only 31 % of the forest land is
federal. There are 155 national forests
that cover 190 million acres, but when it comes to the entire forestland in the
US, there are over 822,000,000 acres.
This does seem like a lot of forests, but let see how the US
ranks by forested area when counting the entire world: The US is in 4th place
with 3,030,890 km2 of the forested area, behind Canada, Brazil, and
Russia. To read more, please visit 10 Most Forested States in the US.
