Question:  How many acres of trees are planted annually in the United States?

Answer:  Tree planting on all ownerships total approximately 2.6 million acres annually.  This annual planting roughly equals the size of the State of Connecticut.  Compare this annual planting to 2.3 million acres of trees planted under the ten year Civilian Conservation Corps tree planting program (mid-1930's to mid-1940's) and to 2.2 million acres under the entire Soil Bank Program (1956 to 1961).
