Letter to Minnesota Policy Makers: Help Us Protect and Improve Minnesota's Community Forests
For nearly 40 years, the Minnesota Shade Tree Advisory Committee (MnSTAC) has played a leadership role as an advocate for the state's urban and community forests. Established in 1974 at the request of the Governor, MnSTAC remains committed to its mission - the advancement of Minnesota's commitment to the health, care, and future of our community forests. More than ever, however, Minnesota's urban and community forests are threatened. Too often we take trees for granted and it's too easy to cut even healthy trees down even though they have been providing important, irreplaceable benefits for hundreds of years. Too often trees are sacrificed for development or lost to storm damage, insects, or disease and never replaced. And even when trees are planted, they too often get short shrift when it comes to investing in proper planting technique to ensure they will become established and survive for more than a few years. As a result, our urban and community forests are in serious trouble and desperately need our help.
We are at an important crossroads, and your commitment and participation is needed more than ever at this critical time...Continue reading the letter.
