Not to disappoint you but the U.S. Forest Service doesn’t even know how many trees they have in any given National Forest. I’ve tried unsuccesfully to get this information when preparing environmental assessments in the past. Either they don’t have a clue, or they are like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service when it comes to endangered species, they will not tell. It’s my guess that neither agency has a clue as to the resources they are in charge of managing or protecting.

Foresters only count the number of individual trees when doing a 100% tally for sale, 100% tallies are only done on smaller finite blocks, and not done for every sale. Forestland figures are based on acreage with the Density (#of trees per unit area) changing by forest type, age of stand, site index (fertility), and type and severity of last disturbance.
