- I'll see if I can find the stats you want, in the mean time: 2,558,025 acres
- of trees were planted in 1991 on all ownerships in the US. In the 5 years
- from 1987 to 1991 a total of 14,869,817 acres were planted. In your state
- of Wisconsin (my home state), 1,284 acres were planted from October 1990 to
- September 1991.
-
- I'll try and track down the timber harvest data for you as well.
