Great Trees of New York City: A Guide (2000)

In the late 1990s, while still working at the Parks Department, I wrote the text and took the photographs for a walking guide to New York City’s 120 Great Trees. Designed by Toby Allen Schust, the book was published by the New York Tree Trust (a now-defunct division of the City Parks Foundation) in 2000, accompanied by exhibits at An American Space Gallery in Manhattan (now also defunct) and Wave Hill House in the The Bronx. The book is out of print, and some of the trees I photographed were subsequently lost. In 2024 the Parks Department designated an additional group, bringing the number back to 120.
