Western states have far more public land than Vermont. It’s not even close

I think 70% of Nevada is federal lands.

It’s more like 85%. We call it the “poor man’s Alaska”

Thought so. I was originally going to say 90% but tailed it back since I was drawing on faded memory.

Percentage per acre. Vermont is smaller than California. God people are dumb.

“Less than 15 percent of Vermont held by the public, split between federal (7.3 percent), state (6.4 percent), and municipal (0.7 percent) ownership”

“Oregon has a sizable public land base, with approximately 53 percent of its 61 million acres in federal lands, most of it managed by the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service”

God people are dumb
