This linked map shows significant reforestation in the US between 1920 and 1992 http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/gg97rpt/chap7.html#fig11 (See figure 11). Please note that earlier maps are for virgin forest only and the 1992 map is not. Tobyw 11:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

One reason for pre-1900 deforestation was for shipbuilding. Large wooden ships could take over 1M board feet of timber each. Tobyw 11:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

I've had a look at the external links provided here and I think every single one of them is spam, of varying descriptions. The German ones I'm not so sure about but even if they're not they should be on the German Wiki. So I've removed them. The Boy that time forgot 20:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-neutral?

This short article (stub?) hardly looks neutral at present. Between the lines, it reads "the re-foresters are the good guys - the tree farmers are the bad ones." Any views? If there is support I may be motivated to look up some citations. Dendrotek 14:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree, the tone does not seem neutral, also "Some environmentalists are fond of calling forest plantations “tree farms” as a term of derision." [1] KAM 16:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your support. Could you please check your external link - I can't make it work right through, although I can see you are related to Davis College - but I cannot get the pdf.

It certainly has the marks of a propaganda piece for one point of view.Rvannatta 00:32, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
