Central Park
Presented
by Ken Chaya
Ken spent over two and half years walking every acre of Central
Park in order to map its many trails, highlight its stunning
architecture and landscape features, and most importantly, locate
and identify thousands of its magnificent trees. The result was
“Central Park Entire,” a profusely illustrated map detailing
the park’s varied topography and featuring the location and
identification of nearly 20,000 trees and shrubs.
