Floorball Arbor Day Foundation Thuja
Of these three, it seems like the Arbor Day foundation is the page with the most potential. It works for several reasons: 1. You have a connection due to the fact that we are here in Nebraska, where the foundation was begun. 2. It's a fairly timely topic with multiple communities and views: there is an ongoing debate in the scientific/environmental community about the role of "agroforestry" more generally, but also specifically the role of the Arbor Day foundation and it's goal of colonizing the plains with trees. The shifting goals of the organization would be really interesting to research. 3. While there isn't much up here, there are lots of resources available. I am sure there is a history of the foundation in the UNL libraries. Daclausen (talk) 15:58, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
I think all your options sound interesting, but I would have to agree with Mr. Clausen on the Arbor Day Foundation having the most potential. He makes some very good points as to why and alongside of his reasoning I think that you will have a much simpler project if you choose Arbor Day Foundation as opposed to Floorball or Thuja since it is more well known. In opposition of that statement, because I do not know much about Floorball or Thuja, I would also be interested in what the subjects had to offer. I think you have a wide variety of options and which ever you decide to work with you have the potential to do well! -Mackenzie Ehrenfried
