A forest (also called a wood, woodland, wold, weald or holt) is an area with a high density of trees. There are many definitions of a forest, based on the various criteria. These plant communities cover approximately 9.4% of the Earth's surface (or 30% of total land area), though they once covered much more (about 50% of total land area), in many different regions and function as habitats for organisms, hydrologic flow modulators, and soil conservers, constituting one of the most important aspects of the Earth's biosphere. Although a forest is classified primarily by trees a forest ecosystem is defined intrinsically with additional species such as fungi. A woodland, with more open space between trees, is ecologically distinct from a forest.

How much original forests remain in the United States?
Q. I read a quote in some article the other day where somebody said, "Where I live in the U.S. we have less than 4 percent of our original forests left." And I think that's probably a misleading statement but I can't find any hard figures as to how much original forests we have left here in the U.S. Plus, what exactly constitutes an "original forest?" are we going all the way back to Pangea.

A. I think by original forest, you mean virgin forests. These are forests or woodland having a mature or overly mature ecosystem more or less uninfluenced by human activity, according to Merriam Webster. There are very few acres of forest 200+ years in age, less than 2% nationally according to Endgame Research.

A. Take a look at Truckee, California. Truckee averages almost 200 inches (over 16 feet) of snow a year, is located in the dense forests of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. I'm sure you could find a few fields up there too!

A. The large animals you are most likely to see include elk, white-tailed deer, mule deer, and bighorn sheep. Large carnivores, such as wolves, grizzly bears, and cougars are present in the Bow Valley but rarely seen. Of course, there are many small animals commonly seen, such as golden-mantled ground squirrels, Columbian ground squirrels, pine chipmunks, gray jays, Clark's nutcrackers, magpies, and Steller's Jays. The website below provides a checklist of the animals of Banff National Park (part of the Bow Valley).
