New Worldwide NASA Forest Mapping

NASA announced that they have completed their global forest height mapping project. Looking at the main project page, there is a map of the contiguous United States' forests, and it is possible to see the little speck of green that is Saginaw Forest -- and a statement of the current extent of forest cover in a state that used to be blanketed with forests.
