New York City EcoFlora
The New York City metropolitan area, while densely populated and highly urbanized, is also home to a significant diversity of plants, animals, fungi, and habitats, which are under increasing threat by development and a changing climate. Data about this biodiversity are scattered across natural history collections, publications, and institutions.
The NYC EcoFlora Project is creating a dynamic online repository for information about the City’s plants and their ecology, in part based on citizen science efforts in all five boroughs. An online checklist of local plants will help build ecological awareness to enable citizens to serve as stewards of New York City’s environment.
