    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2022) Betancourt, Zoe; Benda, Samuel; Dalsheim, Hannah; Sebora, Caleb
    This project was completed as part of a partnership between Washington County and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (https://rcp.umn.edu/). The goal of this qualitative research project was to find ways to reduce barriers and increase park participation among Black residents. Washington County project lead Connor Schaefer collaborated with a team of students in Dr. Greta Friedemann-Sánchez's course PA 5041 to conduct interviews with Black residents of greater Washington County and Twin Cities area about their park usage. A final student report and PowerPoint presentation slides from the project are available.
