Question: How many trees are planted in the United States?
Answer: Hundreds of nurseries in the United States grow over 1.5 billion trees annually, which reforests nearly three million acres. This number represents over six trees planted for every U.S. citizen.
The United States Forest Service prepares a report periodically on tree planting, timber stand improvement, and nursery production activities across all ownerships of forest land in the United States. I want to review highlights published in their most recent summary.
