The NYC Nature Map is Natural Areas Conservancy’s map of New York City. Here, you can learn about the location, size, and condition of natural resources in New York City’s public lands. This map also provides information about previous improvement projects and the potential for future restoration and management of these important spaces. All data in this map was generated by the Natural Areas Conservancy and NYC Parks and will be updated periodically as we learn more and do more to improve the health of natural areas.
In a nutshell, this resource offers:
- An example of natural areas mapping that extends beyond park property.
- A public-facing resource to find natural areas.
How to use this resource:
- As an example of mapping urban natural areas in your city.
- As a tool for public outreach.
