NYC Tree Census

Volunteer to help Joel Berson with the NYC Tree Census!

A census of all the street trees on the City is being conducted this year by NYC Parks Dept. It is a huge undertaking and volunteers are needed to help complete the job. We are blessed to be in a neighborhood graced by tree lined streets which complements the architectural beauty of our historic district.  I hope many of our residents will become "VOLUNTREERS"

The last moments of our Norwegian Maple

Norwegian Maple R.I.P.

Our giant tree in the backyard that lost a few branches in the past spring, luckily causing no injury, has to come down. It is a Norway Maple, a member of the Sapindaceae family.
