How Many Football Fields Would the Monarchs Cover?
Example: Using the 2008/2009 population estimate of 5.06 hectares, here is our calculation:
- 1 football field is roughly 1 acre. (The exact measurements of football fields vary.)
- 1 hectare = 2.417 acres
- 2.417 football fields in 1 hectare
- 5.06 hectares of monarchs
- 5.06 X 2.417 = 12.23 football fields of monarch trees this year
Just think: Monarchs flew to Mexico from across eastern North America. They are clustered in an area the size of 12 football fields!
