Student Projects

Many students have researched Sarita Wetland and other green campus topics for class projects. Unless otherwise noted, the ones listed here are available in the Forestry Library, located on the UMN St. Paul campus. Some are available here as web pages or as downloadable pdf files. The projects are presented as-is, with no editing from the students' original versions other than some format modification to improve readability in web/pdf formats.
