When early settlers arrived in America, they saw endless forests. Trees were one of the most important resources they had. People cut down huge numbers of trees to build their homes, cabins, and towns. Wood was also needed to build strong ships for traveling and trading across the ocean. For a long time, people thought the forests would last forever.
