About
Ensure Healthy Forests: A joint project of the NAC and the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), the Forest Management Framework (FMF) for New York City is a strategic and comprehensive plan to bolster and protect New York Citys vital urban forests. It is the first citywide vision for this critical piece of infrastructure. The plan is intended to guide restoration, management, and community engagement for 7,300 acres of New York Citys forested parkland. The 25- year plan includes the process, costs, steps, recommendations, best practices, and goals for forest management in New York City. It marks the culmination of six years of research, data collection, and analysis by NAC scientists. In tandem with the FMF, we have developed an interactive web-based tool to help inform the public of New York Citys forested parkland, and allow them to explore nature and understand the condition of these vital areas. National Network: Representing more than half a million acres, urban forested natural areas are a critical public asset. These valuable areas have the potential to provide high-quality access to nature for millions of city-dwellers, especially those in low-income areas. They also play an important role in mitigating climate change and preserving local biodiversity. The NAC engaged with 124 organizations in 111 US cities and 40 states through the development and distribution of a web-based survey about the care of urban forested natural areas. Using the answers from the survey, we are identifying successful programs and initiatives in urban forest management and determining which cities are well suited to engage in the second phase of our project. Trails: The NAC is striving to ensure that every New Yorker has access not just to a park, but to a place where they can connect with wild nature. Developing a comprehensive trail system will open up quality, safe recreational spaces citywide. In 2018, we formalized 6 miles of trails in 5 parks and improved more than 25 miles of trails in 20 parks throughout New York City.
