There are more trees now in the US than 100 years ago at the height of the lumber boom. Gettysburg National Military Park has been cutting trees down that have overgrown much of the area that was once open farmland and fields when the battle occurred. Forest growth nationally has exceeded harvest since the 1940s. By 1997, forest growth exceeded harvest by 42 percent and the volume of forest growth was 380 percent greater than it had been in 1920, the US has only 8% of the world's harvest. The real harvesting problem isn't the US but the rest of the world where it is estimated that 15 billion trees are harvested every year but only 5 billion re-planted.
