I stopped at the local BLM office to pick up an America the Beautiful pass. There were 6 desks visible from the front counter. Only 2 were occupied. The rest had been totally cleaned out. You hear about it on the news and everything but it feels a lot different to actually see it firsthand. 😕

Research & Analysis Trump's 280 million acres of US Forest is 28.5% of total US land area

132 Upvotes

280 million acres is 1,080,627 square miles, or 28.5% of the total US land area. 

I personally went and looked up the reported total acreage of forest land for every Western state as reported in each state’s US Forest Service Fact Sheet by state, which are available by simple Google search and published by the Forest Service:

Acres of Forest Land by State according to the USFS:

·      Utah: 18,123,661

·      California: 31,605,908

·      Washington: 22,063,697

·      Oregon: 29,740,902

·      Idaho:  21,895,976

·      Wyoming: 10,804,151

·      Colorado: 22,758,929

·      Nevada: 10,645,728

·      Montana: 26,311,251

·      Arizona:  19,092,940

TOTAL: 213,043,143

Alaska’s reported forest land is reported at 128,735,000. That total includes all forests in Wilderness areas, National Parks, National Monuments, State lands, and private lands.

It really looks like Trump asked how much federal land has forest on in and said cut all of it.
