Description
This is the third decade inventory of NYC’s street trees. This is the first tree census to use volunteer citizen scientists to be the primary data collectors. Individuals who have mapped went through a full training process with NYC Parks Census staff, mapped in “events” with other volunteers or mapped independently. Community partners ranging from environmental non-profits, business improvement districts, youth groups and community boards have also played a key role in training and engaging volunteers to map their neighborhoods. Volunteers have mapped 200,000 trees, 30% of the city, since May 2015.
The street tree dataset will provide NYC Parks with information that can improve operational efficiency in the field, better allocate funds for high priority projects, and investigate the best management practices for urban trees. A complete census will allow us to assess trends in tree health, diversity, and growth. Research specific, pressing environmental questions like how the trees of New York City have responded to inundation from Hurricane Sandy. The data will also help dictate Central Forestry’s street tree planting program to better target areas in need.
