New York City’s Urban Forest

Our street trees are living and breathing parts of our communities (though they often go unnoticed). They bring us shade in the warm months, shield us from the cold in the winter, and provide fresh air for us to breathe all year long. To better grow and protect our urban forest it is important to get acquainted with your NYC trees.

Great Trees of New York City

Since 1985, NYC Parks has led a search for heritage trees that together, help tell the story of New York City's urban forest. The selected trees have unusual historic, botanical, and cultural significance. In 2024, we expanded the reach of the Great Tree initiative to honor the next generation of Great Trees.
