New York City Street Trees by Species

Abstract

New York City's urban forest provides numerous environmental and social benefits. Street trees compose roughly one quarter of its canopy. This map shows the distribution and biodiversity of the city's street trees based on the most recent tree census. The map is more than a way for identifying the placement of trees: it provides a record of planting history and an important tool for planning.
