I read a bit ago (somewhere) that there are more acres of forested land than there was at the beginning of the 1900's.

New England and much of the southeast has been reforested as farmers in more favored areas such as the midwest become able to grow much more food per acre. 150 years ago, New England was almost all plowed fields. Today it is mostly forested.

Yeah. And those damn deer and geese too. Sportsman due more to support natural habitat than the "tree huggers."

What will they hug now???
