How much forest has Inglewood lost?
There was almost no forest around Inglewood in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.
2017: satellite photo from June 2017 of a 5 × 5 km area in the city center.
Forest gained and lost, 2000–2020
- Forest in 2000
- 1,110 acres (451 ha)
- Forest in 2020
- 1,210 acres (489 ha)
- Overall change
- +94 acres (38 ha)more forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Inglewood grew from about 1,110 acres (451 hectares) to 1,210 acres (489 hectares), a net gain of about 94 acres (38 hectares) (+8.4%). New forest grew on about 100 acres (40 hectares), while 5 acres (2 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.
