Abstract
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.
Description
The toolkit was developed by University of Minnesota Humphrey School of Public Affairs graduate students in spring of 2021 for their Public Participation Capstone project. The project was completed under the direction of Humphrey School course instructor LisaBeth Barajas, in collaboration with Woodbury’s Environmental Resources Specialist Kristin Seaman. The original student project report can be downloaded at https://conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/220178.
