ENTS, I realize that it's going to be awhile before I'm good enough at measuring to compile any tree or forest data in NYC. Don't you think someone needs to come here and do some work in a few places? There's so so much ENTS info on nearly every forest on the eastern seaboard, but I don't think anything for NYC, right?
Urban forest data is going to become more and more important in the future - and it's critical enough now that data compiled on NYC forests and individual trees by such a reputable group as ENTS would be extremely helpful. I know you all hate the city, but you'd be providing an important public service, whether it's readily apparent or not. Do you agree or disagree with this? Chew on that while you watch my oh so enticing (not!) video of Madison Sq. Park: http://vimeo.com/7753541 Madison Sq. Pk.: - 6.2 acres -located: 23rd to 26th streets between 5th and Madison -formally opened as park in 1847. Used as a public space since 17th century. Species of trees: London Plane, Ginkgo, Oak sp., mature Ailanthus, American Elms, locusts http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&v=2.2&sll=37.6819,-95.4518&hl=en&q=madison+square+park,+new+york+city&ie=UTF8&hq=Madison+Square+Park&hnear=Madison+Square+Park,+New+York,+NY+10010&ll=40.74216,-73.990871&spn=0.003942,0.008948&t=h&z=17 (my apartment is about where the "zoom man" is standing.)
