8 What is Governance? Tacconi, 2011: the formal and informal institutions, rules, mechanisms and processes of collective decisionmaking that enable stakeholders to influence and coordinate their interdependent needs and interests and their interactions with the environment at the relevant scales George Hoberg, 2008 (pers. comm.) who makes which decisions about what, and how
9 Issues with Governance Changing role of government Governance by government Governance with government Governance without government Openness Who has power and influence? Old forest-sector model government, industry, academics, profession New forest-sector model these plus many more
10 The Lawrence et al. (2013) descriptive framework
11 Main Actors: Governments - Canada Invasive alien species (Can Food Inspection Agency) Brown spruce longhorned beetle Emerald ash borer Land Military bases Office complexes National parks and historic sites Experimental farms (e.g., Charlottetown, Ottawa) Disaster assistance
12 Main Actors: Governments - provs Land Office complexes Provincial parks, institutional buildings (museums) Enabling legislation for municipal tree bylaws Forest health (e.g. Manitoba) Disaster assistance
13 Main Actors: Governments - municipal Land Parks Office complexes Streets Tree regulation Land use Tree bylaw Development agreements Citizen support, education, engagement, etc.
14 Land Main Actors: Businesses Office complexes Commercial parks Industrial parks Subdivision development Tree supply Nurseries Tree services
15 Main Actors: citizens Land Homes Voting in elections Advocacy Volunteering
16 Main Actors: NGOs Land Universities Advocacy Quiet vs. in-your-face Education, outreach and stewardship Research and other knowledge services Fetching philanthropic and other funds Volunteer initiatives
17 Premise of the paper... that NGOs are critical players in assisting municipal administrations to engage the citizenry, most notably in education and stewardship programming and implementation
18 Methods Literature review Personal knowledge and experience Case accounts Comparative analysis
19 Cases LEAF in Toronto Clean NS Foundation in Halifax Dalhousie University in Halifax Land owner Agent of knowledge
20 Case - LEAF in Toronto Since 1996 Early Programs Seedling dist n for residential properties Present Programs Same, but expanded reach Outreach, education, capacity-building, EAB Future Programs Expanded partnerships for continued work Influence on UF Governance Drawing citizenry into closer relationship with and greater understanding of trees in the city
21 Case Clean NS Foundation in Halifax Since 1988 Early Programs waste Present Programs Climate change, energy, community engagement, water, waste, transportation, youth education Future Programs Urban forests! Influence on UF Governance nascent
22 Case Dalhousie Univ as Landowner Since 1818 Early Programs Trees around campus, but no plan Present Programs Campus Environment Plan, trees a key element Future Programs More trees, naturalization, learning Influence on UF Governance Little (some negative)
23 Case Dalhousie as Knowledge Agent Since 2003 on UFs, in earnest Early Programs Solo participation, Point Pleasant Park Rehabilitation Task Force Solo participation, PPP Comprehensive Plan Team participation, HRM Urban Forest Master Plan Present Programs Team participation, UFMP implementation Future Programs More UFMP implementation, research & monitoring Influence on UF Governance substantial
24 Halifax NGOs attentive to Urban Forests Role Clean Foundation (CNS) Dalhousie University Land None 30 ha in Halifax; 1000 trees; terrible UF Advocacy Mostly quiet but plentiful Mostly quiet Education, outreach Research and knowledge services Huge amount in practical programs Some (could be lots) Huge amount in scholarly programs Huge amount Funds for UF work Huge, for practical work Substantial, for knowledge-related work Volunteer initiatives Huge Some
25 Conclusions Governance of natural resources and ecosystems can be extremely complex, the complexity depending on many factors including: Ownership patterns rights and responsibilities Fragmentation Definition of the resource NGOs are key participants in UF governance, and key contributors to UF sustainability If a town or city has no UF NGO(s), the municipal administration should encourage its/their formation
