Give us some metrics

I search this article for word "acres" and no hits. Nor do I see any other metrics. The only numeric entities in the article, before it delves into the blow-by-blow of individual features, are years. I find that astounding. We are talking about the Emerald Necklace here.

What is the size of Back Bay Fens?

I don’t know its size. Maybe you can find a source with that information and add it. E Eng 10:20, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A couple new decent images

Not sure where to put these, if anywhere. Putting them here for others to use if they see fit. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 01:15, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't actually realize this was still a thing that happened until some years ago when I actually asked Reddit "what's with all the guys just standing around by themselves in the woods of [a NYC park]" and was properly informed. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 12:43, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
