I have to admit that Americans seem to have a different perspective on land use, with the sheer scale of the country and a willingness to drive for hours to get places. If someone told me that I have to travel from Prague to Germany to go hiking or even just let my kids play in a forest, I'd be pretty mad.

In rural areas many Americans can go on a hike or play in the forest in their backyard.

  Most Americans live in urban areas, though. I have to say that according to this PDF I found [1], a lot more US families do own forested land, but it's still a minority.
