      All the forests in ND are along the Canadian border. The rest of the state looks like a mix between rolling prairie and desolate wasteland. Western part of the state actually has cacti, and a Venn diagram of white supremacists, ranchers, oil people.

      It’s too bad wind isn’t a tourist attraction because ND would be #1 by a longshot.

      It is a strange place.

      I’m proud of the fact I live in the most heavily forested state in the country

      Growing up in Maine and then visiting North Dakota was a wild experience. Felt like I stepped into an apocalypse

    4. I’m skeptical about Nevada. Yes the Sierra Nevada at the far western strip is heavily forested. But I expect that a lot of “forest” outside of that is pretty sparse.

      Nevada has a higher proportion of forest than Illinois? Yeah, this is bullshit.

      Fun fact: if the Upper Peninsula of Michigan was a state then it would be 3rd place with percentage of forest area at 83%.

    7. Okay. Now account for how much beetle kill off is in those forests out west and it drops by 50%

    8. A) the world of maps, is a very suspect site/group that uses false, manipulated, half-true data to fit whatever narrative or agenda they wish to present with a specific map, alongside omitting data that doesn’t fit said agenda or narrative, or simply not showing exactly what questions they asked to what group of people, or how many people they asked, in order to again, force a specific narrative or agenda (also to largely farm engagement, karma, likes, retweets, views, etc on various social media platforms)

      B) to reiterate older comments of mine

      “op is a regular poster (karma/engagement farmer) of disinformation/misinformation or just straight up propaganda in this and many other subs. (A lot of it being Russian propaganda, or just pro Russian and/or anti American)

      They also tend to use very suspicious, out of date, false, manipulated, and/or misleading maps and sources for said maps.

      For the purpose of engagement/karma farming, and spreading disinformation, misinformation, distrust, division, etc in targeted groups against targeted groups.

      As I say every time I catch one of their posts, report both the account and post for spam and/or violating the subs and websites guidelines”

    9. A lot of people don’t realize most of Alabama is forest with scattered small communities.

      Growing up and currently living in Mississippi, looking around outside, I am not surprised that over half is forested.

      There is now way Texas has more forest coverage than Colorado or even NM for that matter. TX is the most desolate dry desert hell scape I have ever been in. I guess if you count mesquite it might have 5% forest.

      New England bc its industrial power failed after Civil War. 

      Alabama and W. Virginia never did. The great plains just dont have fckn trees

      Would like to see a map of same thing but 100 years earlier. I’m sure the amount of forests would be considerably less, esp. in the eastern US. 100 years ago, there were still more people living on small farms then there were people living in cities, and many homes were heated by wood.

      I would have sworn Washington and Oregon were more forested but it’s only the western part of those states. The eastern part is semi-arid.

      I find it amazing that New York State has a 10-14 percentage points advantage over Washington State and Oregon.

      And while I might be fascinated for a bit, I think I’d hate living in those yellow and light green states in the middle and left side of the map.

    17. Everywhere is just about as I would expect, probably with the exception of 1) AZ. While I do know Arizona does have a surprising amount of forest, I never would’ve guessed it was more than a quarter of the state. The opposite is true for2) IL. I know Illinois has been deforested substantially for agriculture, but I never would have guessed it was this bad.
