Bob,
Please do let me know what you recommend of Bruce's publications. There is just so little that I can piece together about the forests. Individual trees get some attention in the books I have, but not the parks with significant % forest - some of which is considered old-growth. I have 2 books: "Great Trees of NYC", published in 1985 by the NYC Parks Dept. - good booklet, but only about a handful of individual trees "New York City Trees" 2002 by Edward Barnard - good guidebook but only scratches the surface Hi to Monica. I had measly toast for breakfast. Geez. Sending her an email later today... Thanks! Jenny (my outcry is really just a selfish desire to get all of you guys to come here and check out stuff with me) -----Original Message----- From: Bob <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Nov 22, 2009 11:13 am Subject: Re: [ENTS] NYC - needs ENTS Jenny Actually, my former partner Bruce Kershner produced a couple of publications on NYC trees and forest sites. I'll get you titles. I have one of the books, but at the moment, Monica and I are sitting in a quaint little restaurant getting ready for a county breakfast. Fresh eggs, great bacon, hmmmm good. Oh, Monica just looked up and said Hi! HiJemnifer, on behalf of Monica. Ah, she's gone back to reading her New York Times.
