    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2021) Jennings, Cody; Ziegler, Ben; Schiltz, Dennis; Warren, Angela; Gjertson, Daniel; Kennedy, Jamie; Murphy, Megan; Scott, Derell; Marton, Laszlo; O’Brien McLeod, Maya; Perez, Rebecca; Karr, Harrison
    This project was completed as part of a partnership between the City of Woodbury, the Metropolitan Council, and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (http://www.rcp.umn.edu). The goal of this project was to provide recommendations on how the City can equitably increase its tree canopy coverage and update its approved tree species list. City of Woodbury project lead Kristin Seaman collaborated with students in Eric North’s course, FNRM 4501/5501 - Urban Forest Management: Managing Greenspaces for People, to assess Woodbury's current tree canopy, investigate how it could be equitably expanded in the future, and provide analysis and recommendations for the City to incorporate into their updated tree canopy plan. Final student reports and presentations are available. A videorecording of the students' final presentation is also available at https://vimeo.com/547699038.

    Incorporating Traditional Ecological Knowledge into Urban Tree Canopy Projects
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2021) Jennings, Cody; Ziegler, Ben; Schiltz, Dennis; Warren, Angela
    This resource is adapted from a report originally created for the City of Woodbury, Minnesota, as part of a year-long partnership with the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (RCP), with financial support and technical assistance from the Metropolitan Council. This guide was created to inform urban tree canopy projects in cities and counties in the Twin Cities metropolitan area by introducing the concept of traditional ecological knowledge and suggesting ways that local government agencies might engage Native American Tribal Nations in their urban forestry planning efforts.
