How big is an acre? – Measuring Your Woodland ~ by Angus

Thanks, it puts things in prospective.
Now how big is my garden?

Glad someone cleared that up, thanks.

Well Ron, how many cars can you park in your garden?

I think that helps Angus! I certainly know that an 8 acre wood feels plenty big enough when you are looking after it!

Does someone out there know me?
My last house had a large garden and I did actually have 24 cv’s in it.[Citroens}

LOL
I must have a special gift!
So, Ron, using Angus’s's’s maths, that makes your garden smaller than a supermarket carpark.
Glad to help!

thanks now i no how big my land is going to be

It’s taken me 51 years to find out how big an acre is! Brilliantly and simply explained. I’m off to pace out the bit of land at the back of my house.

Excellent explanation, much better than the algebra way!!

That’s brilliant, I can now work out how big the horses fields are by just looking at them.

Thank you i needed to find out something about the rainforest inacres and now i can

Thanks iv just strided my pad out & its 90yds x 40ydy 3600sq yds just trying 2 work out how many houses i can fit in the garden cos times r hard & im getting fed up with mowing harlf an acre.

Thanks, hope to buy approx. 6 acres and needed to get some idea of size.

Thanks for this, now I can go and pace out my one hectare for my kins domain.

ok but 70 paces from where? i mean how do you know where to start?

Traci: start at the edge, but stride backwards as a normal forward stride will be too long.

thanks so much for the simple xplanation.it’s unbelievable that five years as a survey student,i am just getting to knw and understand what an acre mean

Thanks I have to quote for 20 acres of woodland and I couldn’t visualise the size.

Thanks a million. I am almost 80 and finally I have an idea about the size of an acre. Really grateful.

finally understood how big an acre is, wonder why it wasnt explained to me like this in high school.

How big is 3millon acres in respect to England please

Thank you. Great help…

Mick

if you google: england area
google calc tells that it is 50,346 square miles

if you google: 3000000 acres in square miles
google calc performs the conversion and tells it is 4687.5 square miles

so 3 million acres is about 9% of the size of England

typo: 11%

One thing about an acre no one has mentioned here. An acre is any area of 43,560 square feet. Conceivably an acre could be 1 foot wide and 43,560 feet long. A square acre is about 208′ X 208′. Finding that in the field would also be a bit unusual.
OK?

Have just watched the final part of Living with Monkeys during the program the narrator stated 125 million square yards a week of forest is being lost to illegal logging,

hi looking at my deeds to the house, the land is 1 acre 2 rods and 39 perches.

could some please tell me how big the land is in laymans terms

thanks andy
