About

The City of Saint Paul has been partnering with the University of Minnesota Forest Resources Department on the Tree Steward Program since 2016. Tree Stewards are a group of community-based volunteers trained in a range of topics predetermined by their community. Tree Steward training in Saint Paul began being offered as a part of the LCCMR Community Engagement Grant. Since that grant ended in 2018, Saint Paul has decided to continue offering the course. The Tree Steward Course includes information on best planting practices, watering of young trees, pruning suckers and sprouts, and developmental pruning on young trees.

 

Tree Stewards are responsible for submitting 10 volunteer hours a year or attending 3 county-hosted events and must recertify every 3 years by completing an updated recertification assessment.
