Hi Raquel,
We have not used that photo technique in any of our focus groups so unfortunately I don't have any pictures to share.

Hi Laura,
The City of Ann Arbor has done a series of focus groups for the development of our urban and community forest management plan. Below are the questions we asked--some of our questions were directed at public trees but could easily be modified to change the focus to private trees.
Icebreaker:
What benefits provided by trees are important to you?
Prompt 1: Suggest that they think of environmental, social and economic benefits.
Prompt 2: Give some examples of benefits.
1. In your neighborhood,do you feel that there are too few or too many public trees?
2. In your neighborhood, how do you perceive the condition or health of the public trees?
3. Are you satisfied with the quanity and quality of trees where you work and shop in the city?
4. What aspects of current tree planting/maintenance practices are unclear to you? Do you wish to have more information about a particual issue/concern?
5. The city is developing Citizen Pruner training, how interested would you be in participating in this type of volunteer work?
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at [email protected]. Good luck!
