Certain neighborhoods such as the West Village in New York City are well known for their tree-lined streets. However, did you know that there are many trees in NYC in other parts of the city? New York City is currently home to around 883,267 trees. While most of these trees are located in Brooklyn and Queens, Manhattan itself is home to around 96,596 trees alone!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trees are an important part of the city. They are essential for absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) and creating oxygen. Additionally, they are beneficial for the human body, the environment, and even increase property value. Want to learn more about the trees in our concrete jungle of a city? You\u2019ll want to check out the NYC Tree Map to find the trees in your neighborhood!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the NYC Tree Map<\/span><\/h1>\n

The <\/span>NYC Tree Map<\/span><\/a> is an interactive and living tree map launched by NYC Parks at the end of 2022. The current map shows trees individually managed by NYC Parks in New York City, from those lining streets to those growing in landscaped areas of parks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Data shown on the map came from the work of thousands of volunteers during the city\u2019s routine tree census surveys which take place every ten years. Just like the human census! Volunteers at the city\u2019s TreesCount!2015 event, the third participatory inventory of NYC’s urban trees since 1995, worked to collect the data to create the NYC Tree Map.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you may have gathered, the city has been gathering data on its trees for quite some time. This data, while public, wasn\u2019t displayed in a map like the one we have access to today. Instead, the city used the data collected during the tree census events to come up with actions it could take to maintain its collection of trees. Programs such as the block pruning tree maintenance program or the MillionTreesNYC initiative were started as a direct response to the data collected during these events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
