Kinda? We're the most heavily forested state in the country. But, you should have similar species, as you're not all that far away in latitude.
The voat.space site won't let me register at this time. It says I gotta wait at least a day. I figured I'd reserve my username, just in case.
yeah voat is not open for business until tomorrow evening.
And there are national forests here a plenty
We're pretty much a giant national forest. It's amazing. We have the most forested state in the country, for good reason and by a large margin.
Almost 90% of the state is forested. Like 18 million acres, almost. A quick look says you're not in the top 10.
We even have (not much) old growth forests. That's pretty much unheard of. I have some places on my property that would never have been cut due to the terrain. So, those trees could be hundreds of years old. I had a state biologist come take a look and core some trees and the oldest one we found was 170 years old but it's technically possible for some of them to have been here since before Columbus sailed the ocean.
We have a lot of trees!
I dont know the percentage of teh state thats forested but most of it north of me is. In one of the national forests the found some mexicans had chopped a bunch of treed down and built a staduim of sorts with weed frowing inside of it
