Central Park Woodlands Restoration

Great Ecology was engaged by the Central Park Conservancy to conduct a feasibility study to inform the Conservancy’s restoration and management planning for Central Park’s iconic woodlands habitat. This included a baseline ecological health assessment focused on the Ramble and North Woods watercourses within the Park, which ultimately informed the design of the Conservancy’s subsequent restoration projects for both park areas. Specifically, Great Ecology recommended strategies that enhance both the ecological functionality and scenic character of the woodlands, balancing the impacts of heavy visitor usage and habitat degradation for one of the world’s most iconic urban parks.
