It is probably true that there are more trees in the east now than their were 100 years ago. Much of what was once agricultural land has reverted; in my old stomping grounds in New England, upstate New York, and Pennsylvania it is common to be hiking in forests and find old stone walls, the foundations of farmhouses past, and (a great discovery) fruit trees planted by farmers long gone.

It is also true that only a very tiny percentage of America's original forests remain.

And it is very true that when Americans urge developing countries not to demolish their remaining wilderness and not to wipe out their remaining indigenous peoples, our track record in these regards is often cited as a reason for ignoring us.
