Reforestation Plan New York City
New York, NY, United States
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2008
BUDGET
$100K - 500K
NY-CAP as part of the MillionTreesNYC designed from 2007-2008 and built in 2009-2011.
Initially set up at EDAW/AECOM in New York where I served as project director. Subsequently through the UEDLAB at Yale University collaborating with Prof. Mark Bradford (YES) E.H. Harriman Professor of Soils and Ecosystem Ecology, along with New York City Natural Resources Group and the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation. Rich Hallett, US Forest Service.
Funding: NYC Dept. of Parks and Recreation, Urban Hixon Center Yale Environment School.
Student Engagement / Employees: Emily Oldfield, (Ph.D. FES), Sara Kuebbing (Yale Post-Doc), Danica Doroski (PhD FES), Clara Pregtziker (PhD FES) Eli Ward (PhD FES).
Description: A professional and academic team developed the planting design methodologies for site selection and assessment of 2000 acres, categorizing sites and evaluating the reforestation suitability, as well as developing a range of strategies for managing invasives. The team also developed a citywide large-scale post-construction urban green infrastructure research program at two sites, Kissena Corridor Park (Built 2010) and Willow Lake (Built 2011). These designed experiments, planted with native trees and shrubs, are being used to test how management (e.g. tree species identity and organic amendment) affects the resilience and sustainability of planted, urban forests, permitting us to recommend practices for their successful establishment and maintenance.
