When you drive east from Dallas and get off of the main highways, the back roads are just two lane with trees right up to the road’s edge. At one time East Texas was one big forest, it’s so nice to enjoy the trees, because that’s all you can see. Ha!
@grammyn Texas is so large, we have everything within our state lines. Deserts, mountains, forests. I had a relative who was building a home in southeast Texas who cut down 42 trees just to be able to lay out his home. That forest is huge, it spreads from the Gulf of Mexico on the south, into Louisiana on the east and Oklahoma/Arkansas on the north. It’s western edge is in East Texas. It is called the Big Thicket in southeast Texas and several different names in all the other places. Many different kinds of trees too. There are 63 million acres of forest and woodlands all over Texas, which is 38% of our state’s land.
