Abstract

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.

Description

The resource was developed by University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources students in spring of 2021, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the course “Urban Forest Management: Managing Greenspaces for People.” The project was completed under the supervision of course instructor Dr. Eric North, in collaboration with Woodbury’s Environmental Resources Specialist Kristin Seaman. The original student project report is archived in the University's Digital Conservancy and can be found at https://hdl.handle.net/11299/220179.
