the United States
The United States of America has impressive forests — more than 800 million acres of natural and planted forests and woodlands — providing clean water, clean air, wildlife and fish habitat, recreational opportunities, and resources for economic development. This Atlas combines state-of-the-art inventory and monitoring information with tree pollen counts, mill surveys, ownership records, bird observations and more to tell stories about the value of our nation's forests and the challenges they face.
