The DNR has provided the Forestry Forum with the information required to create a 5 page website that recreates thier PDF document:2001 Michigan Forest Health Highlights
The PDF file is also available for download and printing.

Do you have a "go to" link for 2021 Michigan Forest Health Report link? I'd like to locate the best "go to" national website that also reports on current and historical forest health by region or state. Undoubtedly, the combination of wildfires, cross-cutting, urban-to-suburban development and construction (including strip mining and fracking), industry expansion (buildings, critical infrastructure -roads, airports, etc) and agricultural and ranching expansion, by region and by state would show a severe depletion of natural forests. I would like to include "droughts" or pesticide runoff resulting in dead trees or wetlands. I calculated 31,000 plus square miles of California forests have burned down in the last decade (plus). I extracted California's cumulative forest depletion (acres) from the CalFire website (as far back as it went). I would also like to look at Alaska & Hawaii (by Island).
FYI,
Foresth Health Highlights stops at 2017.

When a tree grows a forest, everyone hears it!
Squirrels, deer, bears, field mice, hawks, eagles --all of us hear the seeds of greatness landing at our feet. Acorns, pine cones, apples, cherries, mesquite pods, olives and more. Plant a seed today, to leaf the planet better than we found it.
