MNSTAC is seeking to better understand how communities in Minnesota manage the establishment and maintenance of community forests and your input is valuable.  


The survey results will provide guidance to MNSTAC in setting strategies and initiatives in our continued efforts to endorse and promote proper tree planting and care throughout the state.
