Diversity, Collaboration and Consensus:
Managing Volunteers and the Urban Forest
Emily Huff, PhD
Assistant Professor, Human Dimensions of Forestry, Michigan State University

Volunteers and tree boards are a valuable resource to cities and towns in terms of advocacy, coordination, and awareness about urban forestry issues. However, these boards are often comprised of individuals with varying, and often conflicting, viewpoints. This presentation will address common (and unique) challenges of viewpoint diversity and suggest best practices for managing conflict and making group decisions.
