This document is Greening Hunts Point - A Community Forestry Management Plan created by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation in 2003.  The vision of this project was to create a greener Hunts Point so that the asthma rates would be reduced. 
This is the image that began the project.  Zoom in and look at all areas of the image.  What do you learn about Hunts Point?  What questions do you have?
