<div dir="ltr">Hi Alice -- a pertinent comment -- thanks for raising this aspect. We are developing a local Spruce Forest in our community of St Albert -- do you have literature that describes your approach to encouraging public participation?<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Peter Murphy</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Dec 10, 2018 at 10:18 AM Alice Casselman via CANUFNET <<a href="mailto:canufnet@list.web.net" target="_blank">canufnet@list.web.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Fabulous<br>
But one important piece missing<br>
The vital involvement of citizen scientist volunteers to participate in the planting,watering,monitoring reporting changes in health and growth measurements <br>
especially for newly planted shrubs and trees in this changing climate <br>
Using Standardized protocols as we have makes data compatible for analysis acrossCanada<br>
Happy to share our 20 years in Ontario one hectare plots 10 years in schoolyards and 5 years of riparian restoration plantings with Conservation Authorities <br>
