Abstract
In 1985, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, in coop eration with the US Forest Service, developed methods to evaluate urba n natural resources. The project had two phases: (1) a city-wide inven tory of natural resources and (2) individual park ecological assessmen ts. Results of these studies were used to develop a preliminary databa se, city-wide natural resources policies and park-specific management plans. Methods used in New York City can be tailored to the unique con ditions of cities throughout the country.
