This series contains lists and maps and notes towards a comprehensive study of Long Island Flora, arranged by Engler & Prantl families. Each folder contains maps of locations of the particular families. Of particular interest is the written and photographic record of Big Trees in Long Island and records of Long Island forests. Also included in this series is Taylor's study of Gardiner's Island which he wanted the State of New York to develop into a preservation area. Photographs from this study are found in Box 14. Taylor advised Robert Moses while he was planning Long Island's State Parks and correspondence and clippings related to his efforts in creating a preservation area at Hempstead Plains and Montauk are found here along with correspondence on the subject from Elizabeth Britton. He also collaborated with Arthur Hollick on a report on the historic significance of Fox Island Beach and appeared as an expert witness in a court case related to the preservation of the Beach.
