Figure 38 and 39 (above, left and right): The importance of landscape
analysis and its ability to inform treatment and maintenance decisions is
reflected in these two plans for Downing Park, Newburgh, New York.
The plan, rendered in black, top left, illustrates all extant historic plants,
while the plan, top right, depicts plantings which are non-historic or
invasive for removal or relocation outside of the historic park. (courtesy

Figure 41 (below): A small property of under an acre may only have a few
managemellt zones including lawn, trees over lawll, shrub and herbaceous
borders. Larger, more complex landscapes such as Jamaica Pond Park,
Boston and Brookline, Massachusetts, contains a broader range of
management zones including: forests, trees over grass-broad areas, trees
over grass-narrow areas, meadows, and mown grass for active recreation
amenities or passive use. (courtesy Walmsley/Pressley Joint Venture)

Figure 40: A management decision was made to place a fence around a
sentinel tree in Balboa Park, San Diego, California. The fence protects the
specimen from root damage-impact from excessive pedestrian compaction
or lawn mower damage. (courtesy author).
