    I’ve read the US has more trees today than 200 years ago.

    Sorry, no source, it’s been probably 20 years since I read it in a science mag.

    Just looking at pics from the US west back then vs today is pretty staggering.

    And the forest service has prevented fires from containing forests for going on 100 years… A problem in its own right (is a major cause of the larger wildfires we see today, which they we warned about in the 80’s by one of their lead researchers).
