Attached to the Weekly Update is the World Cafe Focus Group: Volunteering in the City of Ramsey Volunteer Opportunity: Public Tree Survey. The City of Ramsey, partnering with faculty and students from the University of Minnesota, will be piloting a Public Tree Survey beginning this spring. Trees are an often -overlooked asset of communities, as they provide an array of economic, environmental, personal, and social benefits. As Ramsey continues to grow and develop, updated information on the current boulevard/street trees is needed to help the city create a healthier, more diverse urban forest. The survey will be citizen -science based, giving members of the community an exciting opportunity to engage in a project aimed at improving the quality of the city's urban forest. Volunteers will complete both an indoor training session and a field training session instructed by members of the University. After training, participants will be able to accurately identify species of public trees throughout Ramsey and assess the age class and tree condition ratings as well.
