"Trees may not have the same meaning to people of different ethnic or racial backgrounds and these differences may be important in community tree selection. Residents of two prairie communities, one a Lakota community and the other white, were surveyed regarding perceptions of the benefits and liabilities of selected tree characteristics. Base upon the results, recommendations are made regarding the need for community input in tree selection." [Abstract]
