Yeah I was first amazed by a pamphlet on New Hampshire forests, which said that NH was something like 98% forest in 1700, 20% forest 100 years ago, and 95% forest today. I can't remember the exact figures but it was on that level, enough to be sort of shocking.

(Someone tell the local food movement that they are encouraging American deforestation!)
