Today’s DownEast.com trivia question asks:
How much of Maine’s land area is covered with forest?
Answer
Ninety percent, 17.7 million acres, the most of any state. (www.forest.umaine.edu)
When it says “the most of any state,” I’m guessing that’s by percentage.
My name is Keith Michaud and this is “Letters From Away,” a blog written by a Mainer living outside the comfortable and sane confines of New England. The blog is intended for Mainers, whether they live in the Pine Tree State or beyond, and for anyone who has loved ’em, been baffled by ’em or both. Ayuh, I am “from away.” Worse still, I live on the Left Coast – in California. Enjoy! Or not. Your choice.
