Counting Trees

If there are 1000 trees an acre, then there ia a tree every 6.6 sq feet.

If I walk a mile through the woods and count trees 25' on either side of me how many trees do I count?

So I would sample an area of 5280' (the distance of a mile) by 50' wide.

5280' X 50' figures to be 6.06 of an acre.
1000 X 6.06 = 6,060 trees.

This was a math problem I figured out today.
