I asked my brother, who belongs to a tree lot organization and he suggested the following - "Normally I would go to the NYS DEC to get this kind of information. They published a nice report that gave some of this data about 2 years ago. A backup would be to try the College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse University. They have quite a historical section there. Person to contact would be Professor Hugh Canham. <[log in to unmask], phone 315-457-4972>. Alternatively, Mr. Pachan could try the forestry people at Cornell. A good name to contact there is Dr. Peter Smallidge, State Extension Forester ([log in to unmask], phone 607-255-4696)."
