Methodologies, results, and applications of natural resource assessments in New York City

In 1985, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, adapted traditional scientific techniques for ecological evaluation to smaller scale applications in the highly modified and heavily impacted natural areas of New York City. Studies were conducted on individual parks and included an evaluation of each park's land-use and vegetation history and intensive surveys of vegetation. Results of these studies were used to develop a preliminary database, citywide natural resource policies, and park-specific management plans.
