Most of, almost all of, our forests are more like manmade lumber fields nowadays. A couple % of old-growth natural forest left. Not to mention all those that litter rampantly, even in national park lean-tos and firemaking spots.

So much for universal respect of nature. That’s a bygone thing, by multiple generations.

It is actually very amazing piece of history how well Finnish immigrants and American natives came along even on modern standards.
