Saint Paul Parks and Recreation established the Tree Advisory Panel (TAP) in January of 2009 to serve as a link between Saint Paul Forestry and the community. The panel consists of Saint Paul residents representing each of the City Council wards, City staff, members of the business community, higher education, and Friends of the Parks and Trails of Saint Paul and Ramsey County. The Tree Advisory Panel convenes once a month and has undertaken many advisory activities for the city.
