RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

BORROWED WISDOM

One third of all land in the United States is owned by the federal government.  That's not a bad thing.  

 About 38% of North America is wilderness and only 28% of Africa is wilderness.

But:

Much of North America's wilderness is in Canada.

About 5% of the United States is protected wilderness. 

But:

About half of that is in Alaska.

Almost a third of U.S. land is considered forest and about 25% is dense forest.

But:

Like wilderness, our forests shrink a little every year.  

ENCOURAGE OUR GOVERNMENT TO MAINTAIN FOREST LAND AND WILDERNESS.
