"Which historic forest, who took the picture, who did the historic research?"--Hellbender

we've got photos of the forest for about as long as we've had photography circa 1840, and heavy volumes of it from the 1860s forward

and we know they are now thicker than they were, and we know why, but we won't do anything about it because of envirowhackos who have brainwashed you into believing foolish things that man can't take care of the land around him. How is it that Indians could take care of the land and fashion the forests that we later walked into and we can't with more people, more technology and more knowledge?
