OASIS Resources
We've started to compile
resources here and expect to add more as they become
available. Check the links at the left regularly to
see what we've added (below is a brief description of
what you'll find). You can also go to the
OASIS Update page to see a log of what's been added
to the site over time.
If you have suggestions of other resources that would
be helpful to your community planning and open space
advocacy activities, or if you have compiled resources
that would be helpful to others, please contact OASIS at
SRomalewski@gc.cuny.edu,.
Guides to Using OASIS - UPDATED
Open Road has been using OASIS in the classroom to
teach students about how to get information about their
community from OASIS. They have compiled these basic
guides from their experience that others are welcome to
use. More will be added as the website grows. Please
contact Open Road if you have any questions or suggestions

Neighborhood Trees
The results of the Neighborhood Tree Pilot Project are in
and they show that the 322 trees surveyed are worth over
$1,000,000 total and they remove 4.3 metric tons of
carbon from the atmosphere annually. Go here to learn
more about the project and the data collected.
Map Gallery
Some information has not been created in a way that is
compatible with the interactive map, such as historic
information. It is our hope to
provide access to that information by creating a map
gallery of static maps that you can print out. Contact
CMAP at cmap@nypirg.org
if you have maps you'd like to add to the OASIS Map Gallery.
