Abstract

    In 2016, students from the University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources NR-1 class collaborated with the Vermont Monitoring Cooperative (VMC, now called the Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative or FEMC), Vermont Urban and Community Forestry, and the Burlington Parks and Recreation Department to conduct a forest inventory within three public parks in Burlington, Vermont – Oakledge Park, McKenzie Park and land formerly owned by Burlington College.
