All,
Please join us this Saturday, November 12th for the next meeting of the New
York Map Society.
"Magnificent Obsession: Mapping the Trees of Central Park"
Artist and urban naturalist, Ken Chaya, and his friend, Edward Sibley Barnard,
author of New York City Trees, began mapping the exquisite landscapes of
Central Park, focusing on its many magnificent trees. Mr. Chaya will speak
about studying the park's many tree species, and discuss how he created the map
which he calls “a combination of art and science, along with a healthy dose of
obsession.”
Prior to his talk, Mr. Chaya will lead a two-hour tree walk in Central Park.
Those interested in attending should meet at 11:00 am at the Seventh Avenue and
Central Park South entrance to the park. At the park,(but not at the library),
a limited number of maps will be available for purchase and signing. In the
event of inclement weather the tree-walk tour will be canceled but the meeting
will take place at 2:30 pm as usual.
