When is the last time you visited a forest?
Plenty of places have lots of trees. But you can’t really call it a forest unless the treetops cover at least 60% of that area, according to some forest ecologists.
Each year, millions of Americans visit National Forests in the US. These sylvan (see definition and hear pronunciation below) areas are great for hiking, camping or just taking in the beautiful scenery.
So, the next time you want a change of pace, you may want to check out a forest. It’s a great place to explore nature!
