Central Park is a man-made environment but it should have some good-sized trees by now. It's quite old. Also in Manhattan, Inwood Hill Park contains an old-growth forest, untouched since the 18th century. Unfortunately I've never visited any of NYC's parks. I would love to some time. For now I just read up on them.

Dispite it being entirely surrounded by the city, the park is sizeable at more than 800 acres ( I think. ). Posting pictures to the discussion list is easy. Use Yahoo Mail, Gmail or whatever you prefer and attach pictures to it and send it to [email protected]. Make sure the e-mail address is the one you use for ENTS or it won't post. I see you have a Gmail address. That should work.
