Acre Counter
The one big number that goes up
This is the acre counter. It counts the acres of public land from the website's database. You can see the world total, pick a country, and narrow it to a state or province, then to a city. The world has too many negative counters, world population, national debt. It is time to have a positive one. The figure includes public land that is not strictly recreational, such as military bases.
