Forest gained and lost, 2000–2020
- Forest in 2000
- 22,500 acres (9,110 ha)
- Forest in 2020
- 24,200 acres (9,780 ha)
- Overall change
- +1,640 acres (665 ha)more forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Clinton Township grew from about 22,500 acres (9,110 hectares) to 24,200 acres (9,780 hectares), a net gain of about 1,640 acres (665 hectares) (+7.3%). New forest grew on about 2,010 acres (814 hectares), while 371 acres (150 hectares) were lost.
These 2000 and 2020 maps, from the University of Maryland, count any land with trees taller than 5 m as forest, including plantations and orchards. Forest that was cut or burned and had grown back by 2020 counts in both years, so the loss here is smaller than the yearly figures.
These figures cover everything within 10 km of the city center, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.
