    Urban Tree Canopy Community Engagement Toolkit
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2021) Baker, Bill; Kennedy, Jamie; Stower, Kathryn; Rodiles, Naomi
    This resource is adapted from a toolkit 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. The goal of the project was to create resources for local governments to inform and engage residents in urban tree canopy initiatives. The toolkit include templates for developing a comprehensive communications plan, a checklist for designing an inclusive engagement effort, an animated vision-sharing video; a tree stewardship event template; and three tools for gathering public input—online surveys, pop-up engagements, and focus groups.
