Centerville Lake does not meet MN State water quality standards, and suffers from frequent and occasionally intense algae blooms. Monitoring data indicate an increasing trend of phosphorus and chlorophyll-a annual summer means. A significant portion of the annual phosphorus load for Centerville Lake (40-50%, TMDL, 2013) is thought to be from Peltier Lake backflow. Although the TMDL provided an estimate of backflow nutrient loading as a model residual, a more precise understanding is necessary before considering costly management options. Backflow is thought to occur when Peltier Lake's surface elevation rises above Centerville Lake's after rain events due to Peltier Lake's much larger watershed and drawn out time of concentration. If Peltier Lake backflow into Centerville Lake is a problem that requires management (i.e. flow cutoff or reroute), flow rates and elevations are required for project design. Should the lakes be recommended for disconnection, there are two known potential options for maintaining outlet flows from Centerville Lake that, along with any other possible scenarios, need to be analyzed. This is the most important and next achievable step identified for improvement of Centerville Lake in the Peltier Lake and Centerville Lake TMDL Implementation Plan.

Necessary repairs include stabilization of streambanks and construction of best management practices to reduce flow velocities, substantially decreasing sediment and phosphorus delivery to Peltier Lake while improving in-channel habitat for fish and macroinvertebrates. This study would provide a detailed analysis of the extent and severity of the problems, recommend BMPs and engineered solutions, and establish expected resource benefit outcomes. 2) Highway 61 Ponds Improvement Scoping: RCWD operates a pair of wet ponds on Ramsey Washington Judicial Ditch 1 (RWJD1) in White Bear Township that provide sediment capture and general water quality treatment for flows to Bald Eagle Lake. These ponds were constructed in the early 1990's and have received little maintenance since that time. RCWD intends to complete maintenance of the outlet structure and removal of accumulated sediment in the very near future. While planning for this work, RCWD intends to complete this study to evaluate options for improvement of the function and efficiency of the existing facility through retrofit enhancements, expansion, or redesign. 3) Johanna Creek Carp Barrier: RCWD continues its work to reduce the viable population of common carp in the Long Lake - Lino Chain of Lakes system. Management of the primary spawning route through Rice Creek has been successful and monitoring has shown that carp are now migrating through Johanna Creek to a series of wetlands to spawn.

Pheasants Forever (PF) will acquire parcels that are adjacent to existing public land or create corridors between complexes. All acquisitions will occur in the prairie, prairie/forest transition, or metro regions. Acquired properties will be restored to the highest extent possible with regard to time and budgets.","Wetland and grassland habitat in Minnesota have been declining for decades. Currently over 90% of wetland and 99% of grassland habitats have been converted to other uses. This proposal works to slow this decline by acquiring and restoring previously converted wetland and grassland habitat as permanently protected WPA's. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and their partners have been employing this strategy for over 50 years through the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program (SWAP). Additionally, hunting and fishing stakeholders are very interested in increasing public access. This thirteenth phase of the WPA acceleration program provides public access and builds upon past work of the USFWS SWAP as well as the previous twelve phases of this effort. Properties will be identified by using landscape level planning tools such as USFWS' Duck Breeding Density Maps, as well as MN DNR natural heritage data and numerous state level conservation plans. In addition to wildlife benefits, the lands acquired and restored through this grant will provide improved water quality, groundwater recharge, and flood abatement benefits. These strategies are well tested and are supported by the greater conservation community in Minnesota. To address concerns related to county tax revenues due to acquiring public land, the USFWS and PF will notify counties prior to the acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the USFWS will make a one-time payment (called a Trust Fund payment) to the county where the property is located. In addition, the USFWS will make annual refuge revenue sharing payments for all fee lands within the respective counties. All wetlands, on the properties acquired, will be restored by either surface ditch ?plugs,"" breaking sub-surface tile lines, or other best practices for wetland restoration. Grasslands will be restored by planting site-appropriate native grasses and forbs following known best practices for the establishment. Grassland restoration on individual tracts may take three to five years, involving one to two years of post-acquisition farming to prepare the site for seeding (e.g. weed management issues, chemical carryover, other site-specific issues). Other restoration activities could include invasive tree removal, building site-cleanup, prescribed fire, etc. as necessary to provide high-quality habitat and public access to the citizens of Minnesota.",,2021-07-01,2025-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Eran,Sandquist,"Pheasants Forever, Inc.","410 Lincoln Ave S Box 91","South Haven",MN,55382,"(320) 236-7755",esandquist@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carver, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Faribault, Freeborn, Grant, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, McLeod, Meeker, Murray, Nobles, Pope, Renville, Rice, Stearns, Stevens, Swift, Wright","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerating-waterfowl-production-area-program-phase-xiii,,,,

In the Minnesota County Biological Survey description of the marsh community, special attention is given to two issues faced in Minnesota marshes - stable high water levels that reduce species diversity, often to a point at which a monotypic system evolves, and the ""invasion of marshes by the non-native species narrow-leaved cattail"" and its hybrids. Both of these issues were directly addressed by the major cattail control activities involving the Roving Habitat Crew, along with water level management undertaken through channel cleanouts or that will now be possible through because of newly installed wetland infrastructure projects.","A total of 5,024 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 5,024 in Enhance.",60000,PPJV,1653600,44300,,2,DNR,"State Government","Funding provided through this appropriation enhanced 5,024 acres of wetland habitat.

One project, Moose/Willow in Aitkin County, entailed extensive cleanout of an outlet channels, plus a new water control structure leading to better water level management. Downstream channel work is necessary outlets become clogged with sediment and vegetation and water levels in shallow lakes become abnormally high. Specialized equipment known as a Cookie Cutter removed accumulated sediments and other obstructions to surveyed levels. The shallow lake returned to a lower levels with resulting habitat benefits. Seven projects - Plum Creek (Murray County), Gopher Ridge (Kandiyohi County), Sedan Pond (Pope County), Bradshaw Lake (Scott County), Rum River and Jones Pool (both at Mille Lacs WMA, Mille Lacs County), and Amiret WMA (Lyon County) - were completed and involved engineering and construction of wetland/shallow lake infrastructure such as dikes and water control structures. In all of these projects, engineering was done in-house (i.e. DNR engineers) and private contractors were used for the construction. Finally, four infrastructure projects were engineered only, with construction planned for the future. Doing this initial engineering allows us to determine project feasibility, identify construction obstacles, and obtain accurate cost estimates for materials and construction. These engineering-only projects were accomplished with in-house (i.e., DNR) engineers. *Cattail Spraying - A DNR helicopter has been equipped with an OHF-funded spray unit and avionics to allow it to spray invasive cattails - one of the most significant problems that impact wetlands statewide. Utilizing this helicopter, in conjunction with Roving Habitat Crew members working as ground support, significant acres of invasive cattail can be sprayed annually. Funding from this appropriation was used to purchase herbicide and pay helicopter expenses. 1,762 acres were enhanced. This operation is highly coordinated with project solicitation in late winter. Activities that have to occur before actual spraying occurs include landing site selection and mowing, ground crew (i.e. roving habitat crew members) training, herbicide purchase, coordination with DNR Law Enforcement (who have oversight of the helicopter and for whom the pilot works), permit applications, and public notice publication. * Roving Habitat Crews - Roving Habitat Crews are teams of DNR staff who are equipped and trained to perform habitat enhancement projects on public lands.

Additionally, this program will protect 275 acres of native prairie as state Scientific & Natural Areas (SNAs) and perpetual Native Prairie Bank (NPB) easements. This will provide habitat for rare species, Species in Greatest Conservation Need as identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) and provide habitat for other game and nongame wildlife species. All public SNA acquired through this project will be open to all forms of hunting and fishing. This program will also accelerate the restoration and enhancement of approximately 20,400 acres of native prairie vegetation on Wildlife Management Areas, Aquatic Management Areas, Scientific and Natural Areas, and State Forests. This will provide much needed wildlife habitat for a host of grassland and farmland species. Prairie restoration efforts will center on site preparation, seeding of local ecotype seed, post-seed management to assure success, and seed harvest of local ecotype seed for prairie restoration at other public land sites. Prairie enhancement efforts will center on prescribed burning, managing woody cover encroachment, and interseeding. Goat prairie enhancements are a distinct target in the Southeast Forests. There is a very significant unmet need for prescribed burning on public lands. We will hire a roving burn crew for 3 years. The crew will be fully equipped and self sufficient and will therefore be capable of burning an additional 7,000 acres per year. Fifty-percent of their time will be spent on burning (this is the entire spring and fall burn season). During the non-burn season the crew will complete 1,000 acres woody encroachment management annually (25%) on WMAs. The remaining 25% will be spent on other WMA habitat management activities. This work is all supplemental to the existing DNR burning and woody cover management programs ","The availability of public hunting lands does not meet the expectations of a growing Minnesota population. Due to the current recession, land prices have stabilized or declined and a short-term opportunity exists to purchase more value for our expenditures. The Citizens Advisory Committee on WMA acquisitions recommended due to long-term rising land costs and continued habitat loss, acquisition efforts should be accelerated to 21,000 acres per year for 10 years completing 30% of the 50 year goal of 702,200 acres. This objective has not been met due to inadequate funding. Supplementing our existing program with accelerated WMA acquisition will require additional temporary staff to acquire and develop new lands. Temperate grasslands are considered to be one of the most altered ecosystems on the earth. Native prairie and associated species have been targeted as critical habitats by the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS). Since 1987, MCBS has evaluated and mapped about 200,000 acres of remaining prairie in the state as compared to the nearly 18 million acres identified about 100 years ago based on the public land surveys. Only half of this remaining prairie habitat is currently under some form of permanent protection. Although Minnesota DNR has the training and know-how to restore high quality prairie vegetation, current funding is insufficient to meet all needs. Many sites on state lands are currently not being actively managed to realize full potential as plant communities or wildlife habitat. Re-establishing prairie on public lands requires periodic burning, inter-seeding grasslands with native species, and up to five years of post-seeding management and assessment. Some state-owned grasslands are ""problem"" sites consisting of monotypic fields of brome of low habitat value. Furthermore exotic and/or invasive plants are encroaching and woody plant encroachment are especially troublesome problems that must be addressed. Portions of newly acquired areas and state-owned marginal croplands also need to be seeded and treated. Use of high quality seed from established prairie sites to plant at other locations has proven to be highly cost-effective. ","We continue to use the Prairie Plan to guide our work in the western part of the state.  While we don't limit ourselves to the core areas from the Plan, core areas and native sites usually rise to the top when we are developing short-term priority lists such as which units to try to burn each spring.  Although Minnesota DNR has the training and know-how to restore and enhance high quality prairie vegetation, past funding was insufficient to meet all needs.  Often time, we'd just 'plant some grass'.  These funds have given us the ability to use much higher diversity seed mixes in our restoration work.  We aren't there yet, but we are getting much closer to restoring the full plant diversity to sites compared to what we were doing a few years ago.  That said, there is still much to learn in the area of seed harvest, seeding method, and post-seeding management.  In some cases we are buying local seed from vendors.  In other cases, we are contracting with neighbors to mechanically harvest seed from established prairies.  This is probably the most cost-effective way of collecting the volume of seed need to do larger restorations.  We are also getting better at using different seed mixes within a site.  A wetland margin should not have the same seed mix as a sandy hilltop.  Probably the most innovative and effective part of this request was the addition of a roving crew.  These crews were 100% additive to the work that was being done in the past.  They had the equipment, skills, and expertise, and were able to move around the entire region to do work that simply wasn't being done in the past.  They were able to do projects by themselves, team up with local DNR staff, and occasionally work with staff from USFWS or TNC to do larger projects such a large Rx fires that cover multiple ownerships.  The other major part we can report in this first full length (5 year) project is our work with contractors.  While DNR staff worked with some contractors in the past, with these funds we were able to scale up these projects.  Through trial and error in some cases we have also figured out who the best contractors are for different types of projects.  Habitat work was new to many contractors.  It sometimes takes significant amounts of time to supervise contractors to make sure they are doing what we need done in the way we need it done.  The more we work with these contractors, we learn their specialties and they become dialed in to what needs to be done and how to do it.  They are also making improvements as they learn.  This is making enhancement work more effective and efficient for both DNR staff and the contractors.  Many of the contractors are pleased to have this extra work, especially when it comes at a time of the year which is normally their 'down' time.  Contractors are telling us they are keeping busy, hiring more staff, and getting more work done as a direct result of OHF funds. ",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Mike,Tenney,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road ","St Paul",None,55155,"(651) 259-5230",michael.tenney@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Dakota, Dodge, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue, Grant, Hennepin, Houston, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, Marshall, McLeod, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nobles, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Rock, Roseau, Sherburne, Stearns, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Wabasha, Wadena, Washington, Wilkin, Wilkin","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-prairie-grassland-restoration-and-enhancement-program-dnr-lands,,,,

This partnership will assess, design, and implement shallow lake and wetland enhancement, restoration, and protection projects to address the most important wetland issues facing waterfowl and other wetland wildlife in Minnesota. Every statewide conservation plan recognizes the need for improving and protecting Minnesota's shallow lakes and wetlands for wildlife habitat. The MN DNR Duck Recovery Plan calls for the enhancement and active management of 1,800 shallow lakes while adding 64,000 wetlands to Minnesota's landscape. DU,s Living Lakes conservation initiative supports this plan with a goal of improving 300 shallow lakes in Minnesota. DNR and DU will accelerate partnership efforts to enhance, restore, and protect shallow lakes and wetlands through increased assessment and engineering plus funding for water structure construction and land control. Enhancing and properly managing shallow lakes and wetlands will involve three components: assessment and feasibility analysis (Pre-design), engineering survey, design, review, easements and permits (Design), and ultimately water structure installation (Construction). DU will also work with private landowners to permanently protect lands adjacent to shallow lakes through purchase of lands in and adjacent to large drained basins in fee-title to allow for restoration and/or through permanent conservation easements (Protection). In total, DNR and DU will conduct 200 assessments, work on developing 50 new projects including engineering designs, restore 63 acres, structurally enhance 7,172 acres, and protect 750 acres in fee-title. In the process, DNR may purchase small easements for water flowage and/or water control structure placement, and DU may purchase permanent conservation easements on shallow lake shoreline if needed and grant funding is available. ","An estimated 90% of Minnesota's prairie wetlands have been lost, and those that remain are often larger basins that were more difficult to drain. Throughout the state, these shallow lakes and large wetlands provide critical habitat for wetland wildlife production and migration, especially for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent birds. High quality shallow lakes and wetlands have clear water and abundant rooted aquatic vegetation. Emergent aquatic plants such as rushes and wild rice provide protective cover from weather and predators and over-water nesting habitat, while submerged plants provide food in the form of seeds and tubers and critical habitat for aquatic invertebrates. An abundance of aquatic invertebrates such as insects, amphipods, and snails are critical for breeding ducks and for duckling growth and survival. Protein and carbohydrates from seeds and tubers are critical foods during both spring and fall migration. Seasonally flooded wetlands often fill these needs for shorebirds and dabbling ducks, particularly during spring. However, it is typically the larger, more permanent wetlands and shallow lakes that are important to diving ducks in spring and provide the most important fall habitat for all waterfowl. However, the quality of shallow lakes and wetlands providing wildlife habitat has declined markedly due to landscape drainage and intensive agricultural land use, shoreline development, increased runoff carrying sediment and nutrients, and invasive plant and fish species. Invasive fish, such as bullheads, carp, and fathead minnows reduce the invertebrates and aquatic plants necessary for quality habitat. Highly altered landscape hydrology now allows these invasive fish to access and sustain populations in most of our remaining wetlands. The worst damage has occurred within the prairie and transition portions of the state where conversion of habitat to other uses has degraded the watersheds of shallow lakes and associated wetlands. Restoration of wetland and grassland complexes restores habitat and reduces excessive runoff that can improve water quality. However, in-basin management is also needed to switch turbid shallow lakes back to their preferred clear water state. While watershed improvements benefit shallow lakes and wetlands, and both regulatory and voluntary programs to minimize and mitigate watershed degradation are ongoing by many conservation agencies, watershed work alone will not often switch turbid lakes to clear lakes and improve waterfowl habitat in them. It is only through active water level management that simulates periodic droughts and stimulates aquatic plant growth combined with the removal of invasive fish that the quality of this important aquatic habitat can be rejuvenated and sustained into the future. Similar to the effects of periodic fires in upland prairie systems, temporary droughts in wetlands are essential to maintaining wetland productivity and to rejuvenating turbid shallow lakes. Water level variation drives wetland ecology, and has long been a well-established, science-based wetland management technique employed throughout the world. This programmatic partnership between the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Ducks Unlimited (DU) will accelerate enhancement, restoration, and protection of shallow lakes and wetlands important to waterfowl. This partnership will assess, design, and implement shallow lake and wetland enhancement, restoration, and protection projects to address the most important wetland issues facing waterfowl and other wetland wildlife in Minnesota. Central to our work will be the feasibility analysis, design, and installation of water control structures, pumps, and fish barriers that will provide state and federal conservation agency land managers with the ability to conduct temporary water level draw-downs that simulate the natural hydrologic regimes that drive wetland ecology. All projects will be constructed on public land or land under permanent easement by state or federal agencies, and all projects will be managed by Minnesota DNR field staff or by field staff of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Other agencies and tribal interests will be consulted and queried for input as projects are assessed, designed, and implemented. This proposal is based on the best available shallow lake and wetland management science coupled with over four decades of experience by Minnesota DNR and over two decades of wetland engineering expertise by DU. Specifically, at least 200 shallow lakes and wetlands will be assessed for their current condition and feasibility for needed improvement as determined by DNR and DU field staff. Meanwhile DNR and DU biologists and engineers will work on 50 shallow lake and wetland design projects to review and finalize engineering plans, obtain legal land rights and/or legal wildlife lake designation, obtain landowner and public support, and secure all necessary permits and approvals for future project implementation. DNR will develop shallow lake management plans with DU assistance and input. Landowner outreach will be conducted and public meetings held when needed to review, revise, and fully develop wetland structure projects for implementation, including wildlife lake designation public informational meetings and formal hearings. Finally, several wetland restoration projects will be implemented to restore 63 wetland acres, and 16 structural shallow lake and wetland enhancement projects will be constructed to allow managers to enhance over 7,000 wetland acres. To make future restoration of drained wetlands and shallow lakes legally feasible, DU will attempt to purchase 750 acres of land in fee-title in and adjacent to a drained shallow lake basin from willing private landowners (grant funds will not be used to purchase land from watershed districts or public agencies as per direction received from the Council). The land will eventually be transferred to the Minnesota DNR or U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Initial contacts with landowners and local governmental representatives have been favorable to preliminary land proposals, and county board approval will be sought before any land acquired is transferred to Minnesota DNR or the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. DNR may purchase easements for water flowage and/or structure placement rights, if needed. Also, to protect managed shallow lakes subject to development, DU may also work with private landowners to explore opportunities for conservation easements, and may purchase or obtain donated permanent conservation easements that will be held and monitored in perpetuity by DU. Finally, DU will use grant funds over three years to coordinate and administer this grant. Budget reallocations up to 10% do not require an amendment to the Accomplishment Plan. ","This grant was a programmatic partnership between the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Ducks Unlimited (DU) to accelerate enhancement, restoration, and protection of shallow lakes and wetlands important to waterfowl.  In partnership, DU and DNR assessed shallow lake conditions through the Minnesota DNR Section of Wildlife Shallow Lakes Program, and designed and implemented shallow lake and wetland enhancement and restoration projects using water level control structures and other means.  DU also implemented land protection projects via fee-title land acquisitions to improve and buffer wetland habitats used by waterfowl and other wetland-dependent wildlife in Minnesota. Overall, DU and DNR completed 26 project affecting 7,603 acres.  These included three wetland restoration projects restoring 97 acres, 18 shallow lake enhancement projects enhancing 7,154 wetland acres, and five fee-title land acquisition projects protecting 352 acres.  DNR also completed 317 shallow lake assessment surveys to document current ecological conditions and help justify future shallow lake enhancement projects, while DU staff worked on 50 new shallow lake engineering enhancement projects to design water control structures for state DNR Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), public waters, and wetlands on federal lands managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.  Financially, DU and DNR spent $6,439,871 of the $6,505,000 appropriated for this project.  DU spent the entire $5,042,000 portion appropriated to Ducks Unlimited while providing $1,205,381 in non-state financial leverage for a total expense of $6,247,381.  This non-state leverage provided by DU far surpassed the minimal leverage pledged, and was comprised of a combination of private funds donated to DU from individuals, foundations, and corporations, and federal grants such as the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA).  Meanwhile, Minnesota DNR spent $$1,397,871 of the $1,463,000 appropriated to DNR, leaving $65,129 unspent to be returned to the Outdoor Heritage Fund.  Although we fell short of our 750-acre land protection via fee-title acquisition goal, we exceeded all other original accomplishment plan goals of 200 shallow lake assessments, engineering work on 50 new enhancement projects, restoration of 63 wetland acres, and enhancement of 7,132 shallow lake wetland acres. The shortfall in total acres acquired was due to sharply rising cropland prices during this grant period, and uncooperative landowners in the drained Moonshine Lake basin in Big Stone County that made acquisition of those lands not feasible as previously planned.  The primary landowner there refused to sell his land for appraised fair market value, and DU did not anticipate the spike in agricultural land prices that made acquiring an equal number of acres elsewhere impossible.  Nonetheless, DU did acquire five smaller parcels totaling 352 acres in the Prairie Section, including 100 acres of wetlands and 252 acres of uplands.  These parcels have been transferred to the Minnesota DNR for inclusion into the state WMA system for long-term habitat management and public outdoor recreational use.Importantly, DU and DNR wetland projects were highly successful and surpassed our acreage goals.  DU and DNR completed three wetland restoration projects, one by DNR on Pelican Lake WMA in Wright County that restored hydrology to 25 wetland acres in the Metro Section, and two others by DU that involved restoring wetland hydrology to 45 acres on Fenmont WMA in Nobles County and 27 acres o Four Corners WMA in Martin County in the Prairie Section.  Moreover, DU and DNR each completed nine additional shallow lake and wetland enhancement projects that improved wetland ecological condition and management capability, for a total of 18 projects that enhanced 7,154 wetland acres in Prairie, Transition, and Metro Sections.  These were mostly structural enhancement projects where DU and DNR engineering installed water control structures to allow for temporary water level draw-downs to enhance the aquatic ecology of managed wetlands on state and federal areas (including four Waterfowl Production Areas).  Most of the acres enhanced were located on the Roseau state WMA, where DNR renovated an important dike used to control water levels in a large wetland. Elsewhere, DNR seeded wild rice into 40 acres of wetlands and shallow lakes in Wright and Stearns Counties in Metro, Transition, and Prairie Sections.All DU and DNR wetland restoration and shallow lake enhancement projects were in public waters or in basins on state DNR or federal land where DNR or the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will manage and maintain them for both wildlife habitat and public benefit.  All lands acquired by DU were transferred to the Minnesota DNR for long-term wildlife habitat management and pubic outdoor recreational use.",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road ",Alexandria,MN,56308,3207629916,jschneider@ducks.org,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Becker, Benton, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Clearwater, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Freeborn, Grant, Isanti, Kittson, Le Sueur, Lyon, Marshall, Martin, Meeker, Murray, Nobles, Polk, Pope, Rice, Roseau, Stearns, Stevens, Stevens","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-shallow-lake-and-wetland-enhancement-and-restoration-program,,,,

All lands acquired through this grant proposal will be owned and managed by the Service as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. ","Tremendous economic, agricultural, recreational, and developmental pressures including gravel mining, widely fluctuating commodity prices, withdrawal of CRP contracts, wind energy, ethanol and bio-mass production are squeezing Minnesota's habitat resources and the plants and animals that depend on them. WPAs are acquired with funds derived from the sale of Federal Duck Stamps and managed for wildlife and conservation benefits as part of the National Wildlife System. Land acquisition and restoration have not kept pace with habitat needs however. Funds will be utilized to permanently restore and protect approximately 500 acres of grasslands and 200 acres of wetland as Waterfowl Production Areas (WPAs) in western and southern Minnesota. The loss of wetland and grassland habitats in Minnesota is well documented. One of the primary ways to reverse this downward trend is to permanently acquire, then restore wetland and grassland habitats on those properties. The Service and our partners have been utilizing this strategy for over 50-years with the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program (SWAP). Utilizing the landscape level planning tools produced by our HAPET office in Fergus Fall, MN, the Service and our partners have strategically identified properties for acquisition. These strategies are well tested and are supported by the greater conservation community here in Minnesota. The Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council (LSOHC) project will add to the Service's acquisition of Minnesota's valuable wetland and grassland habitats. Upon notification of project approval, Pheasants Forever & the Service will prioritize lands to be acquired. PF will complete landowner contacts, appraisals and purchase agreements. At closing PF will take ownership to allow for the required reversionary clause.

The Service will also be responsible for payment of PILT to the Counties. ","Accomplishment PlanPheasants Forever in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, acquired 11 parcels of land from willing sellers totaling 1,397.31 acres within priority wildlife habitat complexes throughout the prairie and forest prairie regions of the state. Partners were highly successful at securing parcels closing 11 out of 14 projects. All of the acquired parcels are additions onto existing permanently protected wildlife habitat complexes creating an even larger benefit to waterfowl and the myriad of wildlife species that depend on these wetland / grassland habitats. All parcels have been donated to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and are now protected and managed in perpetuity as Waterfowl Productions Areas (WPA) under the National Wildlife Refuge System. Each parcel is open for public recreation, including hunting, as defined by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act. Further, we are happy to report that over $3.2 million in match was leveraged through this effort. This match came from a variety of federal sources as well as donations of land value. This exceeds our original match goal by over 10%.Each acquired parcel has also been restored and/or enhanced to as a high quality as practicable to ensure the maximum amount of benefits to migratory birds and other wildlife species. Wetlands restorations of various types, including seasonal wetlands, were restored by breaking drain tile lines, filling drainage ditches, constructing earthen dams, and installing water control structures. Invasive tree removal work was completed on many of these newly acquired lands and all agricultural fields restored to grasslands were restored using a broadcast or drill seeded method with a diverse mix of native grasses and forb species.These restored and permanently protected acres will provide critical habitat for breeding/migrating waterfowl and reproductive and winter habitat for grassland game and non game species.The work completed in this project has accelerated investment into permanently protected wildlife habitat complexes through the highly successful USFWS Waterfowl Production Area program.

",,"Approximately 30 species of waterfowl are regular migrants through Minnesota. More than a dozen breed and nest in Minnesota. While each of these species has its own particular habitat needs the common bond is a dependence on wetland habitat for survival. Meeting the needs of these waterfowl requires a complex of wetland sizes and types ranging from temporary and seasonal wetlands to large permanent shallow lakes.  Habitat work accomplished with this OHF appropriation contributes to the needs of these waterfowl and other wetland-associated wildlife. Five wetland/shallow lake infrastructure projects were designed and completed (Carlos Avery WMA, Anoka County; Joe River WMA, Kittson County; Cornish Flowage, Aitkin County; Mille Lacs WMA, Mille Lacs County; and Dry Sand WMA, Cass County).  These projects improved or replaced dikes and water level control structures.  These projects enhanced 3,079 acres of wetland habitat.  In addition to these design and construct projects, another four projects were design only.  Because of the complexity of many shallow lake and wetland infrastructure projects, we sometimes begin by bringing in engineers to survey and design potential projects.  We can use this initial information to develop cost estimates, obtain permits, and determine if and when to move ahead with construction.  Because design-only projects do not entail construction, no acres are claimed for these projects, as is consistent with our past reports. These four design-only projects were at Spohn WMA, Quistorff WMA, Aurzada WMA, and Ruff-Nik WMA, all in Todd County. 6,068 acres of invasive cattails were sprayed statewide.  This work was done in both 2015 and 2018.  The work in 2015 was done using private contractors, but in 2018 we were able to do the work using a state-owned helicopter outfitted with an OHF-funded spray unit and using the OHF-funded Roving Habitat Crews as ground support personnel. The acreage of cattails sprayed includes 13.3 acres of a new invasive grass that was discovered at McCarthy Lake WMA.  We were able to effectively deal with this potential threat thanks to the equipment and personnel we now have available.  While aerial spraying of monotypic stands of cattails can't resolve the problem statewide due to the extent of their coverage, property managers are excited to have aerial spraying as a means to improve wetland habitat at select sites.   Finally, a major prescribed wetland burn was funded out of this appropriation which enhanced 10,200 acres.  This was one of the largest prescribed burns ever done in Minnesota.  The effectiveness of this burn and it's relatively low cost have property managers considering future large wetland burns. In total, 19,365 wetland acres were enhanced by this appropriation, well above the Accomplishment Plan goal.

The parcel list changed substantially from the time of the request as the project went on because of several factors, including: 1) one of the core strengths of the Roving Crew is their flexibility to move quickly on a priority habitat enhancement opportunity, and this often meant addressing parcels that met the appropriation’s purpose, but not on the parcel list; 2) given the nature and purpose of the Roving Crew, parcels/projects done by them were not on the original list, but were added upon completion; and 3) site condition and weather help determine whether we can work on a given project on a given day, and we do our best to find alternate parcels of similar value/priority, even if not on the original parcel list, to maximize efficiency.  Especially when it comes to weather issues (usually ‘too wet’), often large areas affected.  The flexibility of the Roving Crew allowed them to do same enhancement work, but on WMAs in nearby counties not as affected by the weather. For all these reasons, we added a number of sites in counties not originally included in the parcel list.  Although it can make reporting challenging, we feel this dynamic flexibility is one of the strengths of our Roving Crews and our contracting process.  While many appropriations highlight specific projects, “what” they did, we feel the strength of this appropriation is in the cumulative effect of many small projects and “how” we did it.  Specifically, we did a lot of this work by developing the Region 4 (Southern) DNR Roving Crew.  This crew is located at Lac Qui Parle.  As part of developing a new crew, office and shop space had to be developed, crews hired, and those crews needed to be equipped.  That was followed by a steep learning curve as the crew coalesced and began working on projects.  These crews only do habitat work.  We try to minimize the time spent with paperwork, office work, budgets, etc, so that they can fully devote their time to ‘boots on the ground’ habitat enhancement projects.  At the same time, there were some inclement weather patterns during these years that limited the activities of the crews during some periods.  Even given those unavoidable issues, the appropriation exceeded its target acres.  It is our assessment that these initial years are the slowest and therefore least productive.  This crew, as well as the other two, are all functioning as highly efficient teams.  The rest of the work was done with contractors, which stimulates local rural economies.  According to the research literature, we actually underestimating the acres enhanced, especially as it relates to woody removal projects.  Numerous studies show it’s not just the area ‘under the trees’ that impact grassland birds, but the area around the woody vegetation.  Some species simply won’t nest near woody cover and other studies show high nest predation (gamebird) or brood parasitism (songbirds) rates near woody cover.  By removing even a few trees from the center of a grassland, we are actually enhancing the entire area.  Snyder (1984) found that pheasant nest success double greater than 600 meters from a tree.  That means for every tree, or clump of trees, removed we are effectively enhancing nesting success in the surrounding 280 acres of grassland.Although this appropriation focused on the Roving Crew, we can highlight a couple projects as small examples of all the work that we are proud of.  Glenflur WMA – Cottonwood County.  This 165 acre tree removal project substantially opened up this tract.  This WMA is part of the Cottonwood River Prairie Core Area and contains areas of unbroken prairie.  This site had not experienced significance disturbance, other than heavy grazing, in several decades.  A lack of disturbance had allowed tree succession to begin to invade. Prairie Bush Clover and Loggerhead Shrike are SGCN noted in this area.Lac qui Parle WMA-Nygard Tract – Swift County.  This tract is part of the larger Chippewa Prairie on the Lac qui Parle WMA and is part of a Prairie Plan Core Area.  This remnant prairie had been moderately grazed and had not seen disturbance by fire in decades.  Woody encroachment was beginning to take hold prior to this project.  Through a combination of tree removal, prescribed burning and grazing this site is now in good condition with sightings of several native prairie species that were suppressed due to lack of disturbance from fire.  This area has recent sightings of Marbled Godwits, Slender Milk Vetch, Loggerhead Shrike and Upland Sandpipers.The SNA Program was able to start a series of contracted woody removal projects at Swede’s Forest SNA.  Swede’s Forest is home to a large population of the rare five-lined skink.  The management being completed here is focused on removal of encroaching red cedar and invasive buckthorn, improving habitat not only for the five-lined skink but also for the multiple other wildlife species that call this site home.Additionally, SNA staff, with support of CCM, were able to conduct a 109 acre prescribed burn at Prairie Coteau SNA.  Prairie Coteau SNA is one of the most important and stunning prairies in southwestern Minnesota.  This prescribed burn helped improve habitat for grassland gamebird species found on the site in addition to the rare non-game species.It was difficult to assign an exact dollar figure to each person and each project.  What I did was take the total personnel budget, identify the ratio of FTE/years, and scale the personnel budget to that ratio.  I used the same approach on the parcel list.  I took the total budget and total acres, identified percentage of acres for each project relative to the acre total, and assigned the ratio of funds to that project. ",2011-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Hoch,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Rd","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5230,greg.hoch@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Benton, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carver, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Dodge, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Isanti, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Norman, Otter Tail, Pipestone, Redwood, Renville, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Swift, Todd, Wabasha, Wadena, Washington, Watonwan, Winona, Wright, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-prairie-restoration-and-enhancement-dnr-lands-phase-3,,,,

Permanent acquisition and restoration of grasslands and wetlands is one of the major tools we have for reversing this trend. This seventh phase of the WPA acceleration program acquired and restored a total of 1,506.35 acres of grasslands and wetland habitat as permanently protected WPA’s managed by the USFWS. Pheasants Forever and USFWS staff collaborated to generate a list of parcels with landowners who had the desire to sell. The parcel’s ecological impact was evaluated using landscape level planning tools developed by the USFWS Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET). These tools utilize Thunderstorm Maps to predict productivity of breeding waterfowl, grassland birds, and other wildlife species for the potential parcel and surrounding area. By utilizing these tools, we were able to focus efforts in areas where acquisitions and restorations will make the greatest impact on the landscape and thus these additional acres of WPA are very beneficial to wildlife and public recreation. Pheasants Forever notified counties prior to acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the UFWS will make a one-time Trust Fund payment to the County where the property is located. Additionally, the USFWS will make annual Refuge Revenue Sharing payments for all fee lands within the respective counties. Once acquired, wetlands on each parcel were restored by installing surface ditch “plugs” and or breaking subsurface tile. Some wetlands may also have had sediment removed to create proper substrates for wetland function and vegetative growth. Grasslands were restored by planting a high-diversity native seed mix of grasses and forbs that are regionally appropriate to the area. As with all restoration work there are challenges that come from weather and working with private contractors but we did not face any major issues.

These projects will address work called for in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan, Long Range Duck Recovery Plan, and Shallow Lakes plan. ",,"Engineering and construction of major shallow lake and wetland infrastructure includes work on water control structures, dikes, and fish barriers to improve wetland habitat management. Five major infrastructure projects were constructed with funding from this appropriation. The five (Carex Slough/Freeborn County, Mahlke Marsh/Lyon County, Hovland/Mahnomen County, Roseau River WMA Pool 2/Roseau County, and Staples/Todd County) all began with property manager submission of the projects into an annual Section of Wildlife project solicitation process. All projects undergo Regional and Central Office review, with wetland and shallow lake projects receiving additional review by Wetland Habitat Team members. Suitable projects are selected for inclusion in OHF proposals. Given the complexity of major wetland infrastructure projects, OHF project lists in Accomplishment Plans undergo continual adjustments based on engineering assessments, budget projections, and to seek efficient use of appropriation funds. Reflective of the expense often incurred in major wetland infrastructure projects, expenditures for these five projects accounted for 43% of the total expenditures for this appropriation. Four major shallow lake/wetland management actions were implemented to enhance habitat - Simon Lake Drawdown and Fish Treatment/Pope County, Raguet WMA Wetland Tree Removal/Carver County, a major wetland prescribed burn at Roseau River WMA/Roseau County, and a channel cleanout at Moose-Willow Flowage/Aitkin County. Both projects were initiated, reviewed and selected for inclusion in an OHF appropriation by the aforementioned process and both projects presented unique challenges that are typical of complex wetland projects. Water levels at Simon Lake were reduced by gravity drawdown as much as possible, then was supplemented by pumps. When reduced as much as practical, a private company was hired to apply rotenone to remove unwanted fish. Unfortunately, the private company quit only hours after beginning the rotenone application. In an amazing move, the DNR Shallow Lakes Program immediately began work to undertake the rotenone application in-house. One year after the private company quit the treatment, a highly coordinated operation involving DNR Shallow Lakes and Roving Habitat Crew staff successfully implemented the treatment. Follow up assessments reported a successful fish treatment and a subsequent improvement in habitat quality at Simon Lake. Tree removal at Raguet WMA in Carver proved challenging as well. Existence of a high quality fen in the project area prohibited the use of large equipment. Instead, cut trees were removed by pulling them offsite with cables and winches to protect the fen. The prescribed burn of a wetland occurred in August 2019 at Roseau River WMA and involved 7,350 acres. The project ""burn boss"" said the burn was done to set back brush encroachment and cattails in a sedge meadow. One month after the burn, significant rainfall at the site raised water levels and flooded the burned cattails. Thick beds of wild rice were reported in areas in which cattails had previously been dominant. Finally, a channel cleanout was conducted in the downsteam channel of the Moose- Willow Flowage in Aitkin County. Channels often become shallower as sediment is deposited. The shallow channels can be more conducive to growth of cattails. The double-whammy of shallower channels and cattails can result in higher water levels in upstream basins. The Moose-Willow Flowage had declined as habitat due to the described sedimentation and cattail growth. A specialized piece of equipment known as a Cookiecutter was utilized to cleanout the channel is what will be a two phase plan to improve Moose-Willow. Phase I was the channel cleanout. Phase II will see installation of a new water control structure. An exciting activity undertaken with this appropriation is the outfitting of a DNR helicopter with equipment to all annual spraying of invasive cattails. Credit for initiating this goes to DNR Pilot Brad Maas, who saw the potential to add spray equipment to an existing under-utilized helicopter. OHF funding was used for a capital equipment purchase of both a aerial spray unit and new avionics for the helicopter. This new equipment allows for annual spraying of approximately 2500 acres of invasive hybrid cattails. A standardized process has developed for the annual work. Early in the calendar year, the supervisor of all DNR Roving Habitat Crews puts out a call for potential cattail spray sites. The combined list of projects is mapped and projects to be treated are selected based on property manager ranking of needs and proximity of projects to each other and their statewide location. Helicopter landing sites are chosen and property managers are responsible for mowing the landing sites and proving proper public notice. Specially trained staff from Roving Habitat Crews are utilized as ground support for the helicopter. Thirty-five individual parcels were treated in the first year of utilizing the DNR helicopter. Prior to obtaining the ability to use the DNR helicopter to spray cattails, three parcels were sprayed by contracted companies, also with this appropriation. Direct comparison of these two spray methods (private company vs. DNR helicopter) shows that the DNR helicopter allows us to get this work done at less cost and with more control over the timing of the treatment and size of the treated areas. Funding from this appropriation was utilized for wetland enhancement work by two Roving Habitat Crews, the Region 3 crew based out of Vermillion and the Region 4 crew based out of Lac qui Parle. Wetland habitat enhancement conducted by Roving Habitat Crews can include tree removal from wetlands, small scale spraying of cattails and other invasive vegetation, seeding wild rice, conducting drawdowns, sediment removal from small wetland basins, and actual construction of small wetland infrastructure projects. Roving Habitat Crew Leaders are constantly receiving submissions from DNR property managers for potential habitat projects and develop priorities based on Department priorities and the need to address requirement imposed by funding rules. Thirty- two individual wetland enhancement projects were reported by the two Roving Habitat Crews.

These Crews allow the DNR to be very flexible. While they have a list of projects to work on, they can also respond fairly quickly if there's an enhancement opportunity shows up. For instance, a short dry period in a part of the state may allow them to conduct a late summer prescribed fire which was not in any of the original work plans. Roving Crews have begun experimenting with different burn seasons. Typically, we burn in the spring before the nesting season. However, this can stimulate the warm-season grasses and begin to crowd out forbs, lowering plant diversity. Burning in the late summer, after birds have fledged but with enough time for some late summer regrowth, has shown to increase both plant diversity as well as structural diversity in the habitat. Just as important, it can knock back the dominant grasses such as big bluestem and Indian grass just enough for forbs to express themselves the following year. Although 23,247 acres appears to be a large number, we feel the actual acres benefitted may be much larger. For instance, we know nest predation of grassland birds is higher near woody vegetation and some birds just won't nest near woody veg. By removing trees, we are impacting both the footprint of where those trees were but also the surrounding grassland where nest success should now be higher. Esthetically, it creates a more open landscape visually which is usually appreciated by grassland enthusiasts. Especially when near ungrazed grassland, grazing can have larger benefits. Birds used grazed areas primarily during the summer when birds are young. Having ungrazed grassland, good nesting cover, next to grazed grassland, good brood rearing cover, should increase overall number of birds that survive into the fall. I have personally visited a number of public lands grazing sites in western Minnesota and have always been impressed with what I've seen. Although grazing is a summer activity, I've flushed a number of birds, both pheasants and songbirds, from these areas in the fall. Often the biggest benefit to grazing comes in the first couple years after grazing as the habitat is regrowing. Although there is still much to learn, we have learned a lot in recent years about restoration techniques. We still use several methods for restoring prairie and there's probably no one perfect way of doing it. It's very clear to even someone without botanical training when they are walking through a recent restoration and an older restoration. Even if they can't identify every plant, the diversity people see is striking. This in comparison to older restorations which are strongly dominated by only a couple species of grasses. The DNR has traditionally focused on game species such as pheasants. However, there is more and more interest in pollinators and biodiversity. Fortunately, just about every study out there shows that management and restoration for pollinators and songbirds often creates the best habitat for game species. Diverse, healthy, productive habitat is good for a wide range of species. As we continue to use these funds, costs for projects will probably increase. In the early years of these funds, we completed a number of simpler or easier projects, the low-hanging fruit. Now we are left with the larger and more challenging projects. While they are good habitat projects, they will probably increase in costs over time. In our budget table, we prorated our budget for individual projects by the acres accomplished. Staff funding was combined into one value. Identifying funding for each position would be an accounting challenge.

This work is called for in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan, Long Range Duck Recovery Plan, and Shallow Lakes plan. ",,"ML2016 Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancement Phase 8 entailed three components. * Engineering, Construction, and/or Management of Individual Shallow Lake/Wetland Projects - Fourteen individual projects were undertaken with funding from this appropriation. Two of these projects, Swamp Lake (Aitkin County) and Puposky Lake (Beltrami County), entailed extensive cleanout of outlet channels leading to better water level management. These projects are necessary when downstream outlets become clogged with sediment and vegetation and water levels in shallow lakes become abnormally high. Specialized (and expensive) equipment such as Swamp Devils, Cookie Cutters, or extended-reach excavators, removed accumulated sediments and other obstructions to surveyed levels. The resulting water elevations return to lower levels and habitat benefits are often dramatic. Five projects - Clear Lake (Murray County) Eckvoll WMA (Marshall County), Typhoon WMA (Cottonwood County), Sterle Pool/Sawyer WMA (Carlton County), and Buena Vista (Beltrami County) - were completed and involved engineering and construction of wetland/shallow lake infrastructure such as dikes and water control structures. In all of these projects, engineering was done in-house (i.e. DNR engineers) and private contractors were used for the construction. Finally, seven infrastructure projects were engineered only, with construction planned for the future. Doing this initial engineering allows us to determine project feasibility, identify construction obstacles, and obtain accurate cost estimates for materials and construction. While five of these engineering-only projects were accomplished with in-house engineers, the other two projects were completed with private engineering consultants, as in-house engineering is becoming more difficult to obtain. Obtaining needed engineering support is an issue we continue to look at. *Shallow Lakes Program - The Shallow Lakes Program is a high-visibility program within the DNR Section of Wildlife that uses single-focused Shallow Lakes Specialists to (1) perform standardized assessments of shallow lakes and (2) to bring about needed management or infrastructure changes where needed to enhance shallow lake habitat. Work by these Specialists guides Shallow Lakes work by both DNR Wildlife staff and NGOs. Funding from this appropriation allowed the addition of three Shallow Lake Specialists who are stationed at Detroit Lakes, Tower, and Brainerd and provided their funding for three fiscal years - Fy17-FY19. During this time the Specialists reported doing 183 shallow lake assessments covering 76,602 acres. This assessment work directly leads to shallow lake project initiation by the DNR and DU to address needed management and infrastructure issues that lead to enhanced habitat. * Roving Habitat Crews - Roving Habitat Crews are teams of DNR staff who are equipped and trained to performP a g e 3 | 12 habitat enhancement projects on public lands. Funding from this appropriation was provided to the Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew to enable it to perform wetland enhancement activities through the addition of two roving crew members and their associated costs for three fiscal years (FY17-FY19). Typical wetland enhancement activities undertaken by Roving Habitat Crews include prescribed burns of wetlands, removal of invasive species and trees from wetlands, support of shallow lake drawdowns, and seeding wild rice. The Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew notably was involved in recent wetland management actions for which acres were reported in other appropriations and will not be reported in this report to avoid double-counting. Examples include the 7,000+ acre prescribed wetland burn that was done at Roseau River WMA. The Reg. 1 Roving Habitat Crew initiated, planned, and led the large effort to do this burn, but the acres were reported in the ML2015 Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancements Phase 7 Final Report, which provided the funding the helicopter that performed the aerial ignition using a helitorch. Likewise, cattail spraying done with the OHF-funded spray unit on a DNR helicopter used Reg. 1. Roving Habitat Crew members as ground support staff to load herbicide and refuel the helicopter between spray flights, a job liked to being an Indy pit crew, but with a running helicopter. Acres for this activity are reported in the OHF appropriations that fund the helicopter and chemical costs. Finally, the Reg. 1 Roving Habitat Crew stepped in when Covid-19 hiring restrictions prevented the DNR from hiring season technicians to run the OHF-purchased airboat on Rice Lake. Reg. 1 crew members volunteered to get the needed airboat training, then worked in shifts to operate the airboat during the field season. As an added bonus, innovative and mechanically adept Reg. 1 crew members decided they could improve the airboat cutting attachment. They crafted their own cutters which have proven more effective than the original equipment.

This deteriorated quality dramatically reduced wildlife use. The Minnesota DNR has developed a unique programmatic approach to shallow lake management. This programmatic approach is an example of how staff dedicated to a specific task and provided with additional finances can successfully implement a clear strategic plan. Data shows that actively managed shallow lakes have dramatic habitat improvements and better waterfowl use. Past management of shallow lakes was limited until an investment was made in dedicated shallow lakes specialists to support our area wildlife staff and who only worked on shallow lake management. Work by these specialists includes conducting habitat evaluations, guiding the designation of wildlife management lakes, identifying lake problems, recommending lake management strategies and developing management plans, and, alongside property managers, implementing shallow lake management. Past OHF funding made it possible to expand the number of shallow lake specialists available to do work. This proposal will continue funding four Shallow Lakes Specialists.

Acquired parcels will be either adjacent to or between existing public lands to create larger complexes or corridors for a variety of wildlife species. These properties will be restored to their greatest potential habitat possible with regard to time and budget constraints.","Loss and degradation of grasslands and wetlands pose a severe threat to the future of Minnesota's flora and fauna. Over 90% of wetland and 99% of grassland habitats have been converted to other uses, primarily those surrounding agricultural and urban development. This habitat loss significantly reduces wildlife populations abilities to increase or remain stable in the face of multiple stressors including climate change, pressure from invasive species, etc. This proposal works to slow habitat decline by acquiring and restoring previously converted wetland and grassland habitats into WPA's that are open to public recreation. This program continually builds on prior phases and augments current efforts by the United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) and their partners to increase waterfowl populations through the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program (SWAP). By improving wetland quality, quantity, and public access this program provides multiple benefits to Minnesotans. Potential properties will be identified and evaluated based on landscape level planning tools such as the USFWS Duck Breeding Density Maps, MN DNR natural heritage data, and other state level conservation plans. Once purchased, all wetlands will be restored by either surface ditch ""plugs,"" breaking sub-surface tile lines, or other best practices for wetland restoration. Restoration of grasslands will be completed using site-appropriate native grasses and forbs while following best management practices. Quality grassland restoration results typically take three to five years, allowing for one to two years of post-acquisition farming to allow residual herbicides to leave the soil. This timing allows us to address weed management issues, chemical carryover, and any other site-specific issues that may prevent the site from being restored to its fullest potential. Other restoration activities that may be needed include invasive tree removal, building site clean-up, prescribed fire, etc. as necessary to provide high-quality habitat. All restoration work will be completed to the highest possible standards with considerations towards budgets and grant timelines. To address concerns related to county tax revenues due to acquiring public land, the UFWS and PF will notify counties prior to the acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the USFWS will make a one-time payment (Trust Fund payment) to the county where the property is located.

The longtime goal of this program is to prevent future loss of wetland and grassland habitat and improve public access in the prairie, forest-prairie transition, and metro regions. This mission helps to expedite goals set out by the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (MPCP), and Minnesota's Wildlife Management Area Acquisition - The Next 50 Years plan. Concurrently, this proposal achieves three priority actions set by the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council's Ecological Vision and Priorities as part of its FY2025/ML2024 Call for Funding. To date we've successfully protected and restored over 15,000 acres of priority wildlife habitat and wish to protect additional acres under this phase. When selecting parcels for acquisition, PF and the MN DNR will approach willing sellers who often wish to leave their conservation legacy by providing wildlife habitat for all Minnesotans to enjoy. Factors considered when prioritizing parcels include location relative to other public land complexes, corridors, and habitat priority areas. Breeding waterfowl density, restoration potential, and the presence of threatened or endangered (T/E) species or species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) as identified by surveys such as the Minnesota Biological Survey are also parameters considered when evaluating the value of parcels. Criteria used to develop the potential project list including: 1) Does the parcel contain habitat restoration potential that will result in an increase in wildlife populations? 2) Does the parcel build upon existing investments in public and private land habitat (landscape scale significance)? 3) Does the parcel contain significant natural communities, or will it protect or buffer significant natural communities? 4) Does the parcel have the potential and focus for habitat protection and restoration in the future? 5) Does the parcel provide multiple benefits (recreation, access, water control, water quality, wellhead protection, riparian protection, local community support, etc.)? Upon purchase, PF and the MN DNR will work together to create a plan that ensures habitat is restored to the highest quality as funds and time allow. Plans may include farming current cropland for 1-2 years to mitigate any herbicide present in the soil or manage non-native species, planting high-diversity native seed mixes, restoring drained wetlands, and removing invasive trees when appropriate. Tracts will ultimately be transferred to the MN DNR to be enrolled in the Wildlife Management Area program or held as an HMA by PF (in which case the property will be permanently protected by PF or transferred to another agency to hold in perpetuity).

These programs serve a range of adult audiences including seniors, corporate groups, and young adults. Strategic Communications In an effort to help Zoo guests care more and do more for conservation, this project was designed to test and implement zoo-based conservation messaging that would encourage people to act for wildlife. The Zoo began implementing its new brand strategy “Where Amazing Lives. Every Day.” This campaign creates a consistent story throughout the Zoo. Expanded Zoomobile Geography can be a barrier to accessing high quality environmental education programs. The Zoomobile program exists to serve people who cannot visit the Minnesota Zoo by bringing the Zoo to them, regardless of where they live in Minnesota. Trained interpretive naturalists travel with animals to all corners of the state and deliver programs at schools, libraries, community centers, children’s hospitals, senior centers, and more. Zoomobile participants experience live animals up close and learn about the ecological principles that connect all living things to one another. Legacy funding makes it possible to expand the service and reach of Zoomobile by sending more staff and more animals throughout the state.

The amount of high quality remnant habitat in the ASP is remarkable given its proximity to Twin Cities Metropolitan area. While the location of the ASP provides easy access for many Minnesotans, the associated stressors threaten the ASP's sustainability. The ecological diversity of the ASP is threatened by invasive species and development pressure. The diversity in this rich and important mosaic, complemented by its close proximity to most Minnesotans, is reflected in the number and diversity of organizations that identify the area as a priority, combining our specific knowledge and stakeholder engagement to join forces for its conservation. The robust ASP Partnership is committed to protecting, restoring and enhancing this spectacular region so it can continue to provide vital habitat, invaluable ecological services, and high-quality recreational and engagement opportunities. Bringing clarity and focus to our Phase 7 and all of our work in this complex area is the ASP Partnership's 10-year strategic plan, which aligns with other important plans to identify priority habitats, opportunities, and centers of biodiversity, and a plan of action with measurable goals.

Through funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, National Wild Turkey Federation and an array of other sources (real and in-kind) we will restore and enhance over 1700 acres of oak savanna, prairie, and oak woodland habitat across 11 priority sites, including: ? State WMAs (5 sites; 485 acres): Carlos Avery, Lamprey Pass, Rice Area Sportsman Club, Sand Prairie, and Becklin Homestead WMA ? State SNAs (3 sites; 135 acres): Clear Lake, Uncas Dunes, and Harry W. Cater ? Cedar Creek Ecological Science Reserve, University of Minnesota (600 acres) ? Sherburne NWR (500 acres) ? Isanti County Parks (1 site; 20 acres): Springvale County Park ","What is the problem or opportunity being addressed? The Anoka Sand Plain (ASP) has been home to an array of storied conservation successes over the past century; however, the future of wildlife in the region is far from assured. Major challenges to long-term conservation success exist and there is a pronounced urgency to act now: While there has been a tremendous loss of native habitat in the ASP, there are also major opportunities to benefit wildlife through expedited restoration and enhancement of existing public lands. Public land managers over the past decades have made good investments of time and resources, but all are facing serious funding shortages. None of our partners have reached their restoration and enhancement goals despite the range of efforts over many years. As the Anoka Sand Plain Habitat Partnership (ASP Habitat Partnership or Partnership), we acknowledge this habitat work has to be an ongoing effort, one that is far more integrated and collaborative than what has been done in the past. Principle problems being addressed through this proposal are: Critical Imperilment of Habitat and Associated Species - Wildlife habitats of the Anoka Sand Plain (ASP) are critically imperiled, with oak savanna being the single most imperiled ecological system in Minnesota. These habitats are identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan (CWCP) and Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan as conservation priorities. Habitat loss and degradation has had profound impacts on the wildlife of the ASP; some 97 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in the state are known or predicted to occur within the ASP. This decline in habitat has had major impacts on game species. Major Threats & Pressures Requiring Urgent Action - Invasive species, coupled with lack of prescribed fire and other basic management/restoration practices have resulted in declines in value of public lands as wildlife habitat over time. Minnesota's CWCP identifies maintenance, enhancement and protection of oak savannas as its first priority for this ecological subsection. The ASP is among the fastest growing areas in the state. Urban sprawl is placing immense pressure on remaining natural resources and threatening existing protected areas. As the Metro grows, wildlife habitat in the ASP will face elevated pressures, accentuating the importance of enhanced habitat management on existing public lands. Increased Cost of Management Actions as Habitats Decline - Inadequate funding for restoration/management activities on public lands has resulted in general declines in the condition of Minnesota's most imperiled habitats, and their value as wildlife habitat. Costs to restore these habitats rise every year that management is delayed. How will this directly relate to restoring, protecting, or enhancing habitat? Beginning in FY2011 and over 3-year duration, the Anoka Sand Plain Habitat Partnership will restore and enhance over 1700 acres of oak savanna, oak woodland and prairie habitat occurring on public lands in the project area. Activities will take place principally on State WMAs and SNAs, but also on other public lands as detailed below. Our actions will result in: ? elimination of invasive plants (trees, shrubs and forbs) over 549 acres of oak savanna and oak woodland habitats; ? seeding/planting of 635 acres of oak savanna habitat; ? seeding of 16 acres of oak woodland habitat; and ? prescribed fire over 1,135 acres of oak savanna habitat. These actions will benefit a broad suite of native species that require high-quality oak savanna, prairie, and oak woodland habitats: ? SGCN (direct impact on 35 species): bobolink, gopher snake, American badger, etc. ? Native song birds, mammals, herps and others ? Game species: white-tailed deer, pheasant, turkey, ruffed grouse, and small-game animals (squirrel, rabbits, fur-bearers, etc.) and waterfowl (upland nesting habitat). Due to funding limitations, several sites initially proposed for funding were dropped from consideration. Decisions as to which proposed sites would be funded were based on the following criteria: 1. Land Ownership ? We gave high preference to state-owned lands over federal and county lands in the following order: ? State (highest) ? University or Other Semi-State ? County ? Federal (lowest) 2. Other Mitigating Factors ? Several additional important factors were considered when refining the action list, including: ? Presence of MCBS quality ecological system(s); SGCN/T&E species ? Size of habitat block/managed area ? Presence within habitat corridors ? Adjacency (i.e., location relative to other public lands or large habitat blocks) ? Immediacy of need/action as determined by MCBS. Weight = High; These mitigating factors had the result of elevating a site like Sherburne NWR (although federal) above state-owned, isolated and lower quality sites. The impact of this large federal land-holding on maintaining large, viable populations of wildlife on adjacent state-owned lands like Uncas Dunes SNA, Rice Lake SNA and Sand Dunes State Forest strongly influenced our decision to retain funding for this project. 3. Funding the Whole Package of Proposed Activities at a Site ? The final list of sites reflects our keen desire to fully complete all proposed activities at a given site rather than working at a broader suite of sites but completing partial restorations or enhancements. Biologically this made most sense. In addition, we felt this would be far less confusing to the LSOHC when we return for a subsequent proposal. Because of this, several high-quality sites that otherwise ranked highly in factors 1 and 2 above were moved off of the active project list. Tier 1 Action Sites Listed below are each of the sites proposed for action in this accomplishment plan, along with a short summary of their ecological importance, proposed activities, and timeline. We also include a list of Tier 2 sites (those initially proposed for action but pulled due to insufficient funding). As additional funds become available, we propose to expand the list of Tier 1 sites through the inclusion of current Tier 2 sites along with a reallocation of LSOHC funds as appropriate. Uncas Dunes SNA (Sherburne County) ? Uncas Dunes SNA contains a relict dunefield and includes oak savanna, oak forest, and wetland habitats. The rare Uncas skipper gives this site its name; this is one of only two sites in the state where this species has been found. Actions: Restoration of 70 acres of oak savanna habitat through removal of invasive trees/shrubs and regenerating pine, planting of old fields and disturbed areas with native seed collected onsite (followed by post-seeding management over two years), and prescribed fire. The restoration project will be led by Great River Greening in collaboration with the DNR SNA Program and DNR Forestry. Portions of the work (harvesting of pine plantation, etc.) will be subcontracted to a private consultant specializing in that area of work. Portions of the project will be performed by volunteers as a way to connect the local community to this important land. Restoration will begin in FY 2011 and continue through 2013. Clear Lake SNA (Sherburne County) ? Clear Lake SNA has the distinction of being the first land parcel acquired under the State Wild and Scenic Rivers Program. It contains a mosaic of oak forest, floodplain forest, and old field sumac thicket, along with a small population of the very rare Hill's thistle. Actions: A first phase of oak savanna restoration on 50 acres through woody invasive species control and prescribed fire (to be followed upon by seeding and restoration management in a future proposal). The restoration project will be led by Great River Greening in collaboration with the DNR SNA Program. Portions of the work may be subcontracted to MCC or a private contractor. Portions of the project will be performed by volunteers as a way to connect the local community to this important land. Restoration will begin in FY2011 and continue through FY2013. Harry W. Cater Homestead SNA (Sherburne County) ? Located on a sandy terrace of the Elk River, this SNA is dominated by dry, upland oak savanna, mesic and wet-mesic prairie openings in aspen groves, floodplain forest along the Elk River, wet meadow and marsh on peat. Actions: Restoration of 15 acres of oak savanna habitat through removal of invasive trees/shrubs and use of prescribed fire. The restoration project will be led by Great River Greening in collaboration with the DNR SNA Program. Portions of the work may be subcontracted to MCC or a private contractor. Portions of the project will be performed by volunteers as a way to connect the local community to this important land. Restoration will begin in 2010 and continue into 2013. Lamprey Pass WMA (Anoka and Washington counties) ? Lamprey Pass is the largest WMA outside of Carlos Avery in the North Metro area. Originally owned by Uri Lamprey, it was managed as a hunt club from 1881 until the 1970s. The acquisition of Lamprey pass marked the first time money was used from the Nongame Wildlife Tax Check-off revenue. The unit is identified as a DNR Regionally Significant Ecological Area. Actions: Restoration of 16 acres of old field to oak woodland through direct seeding and follow-up management. DNR Wildlife will lead and implement all phases of this enhancement project. The project will commence in FY2011 and continue into FY2012. Carlos Avery WMA (Anoka and Chisago counties) ? This 25,000-acre WMA is the largest in the Twin Cities Metro Area and is one of the iconic WMAs in the state of Minnesota. The site is composed principally of wetlands and oak woodland and savanna. Actions: Enhancement of 22 acres of native and semi-native grassland through removal of invasive trees and shrubs, followed by prescribed fire. The restoration project will be led by Great River Greening in collaboration with the DNR Wildlife. Great River Greening will oversee removal of red cedar and other woody invasive trees by a contractor; DNR Wildlife will follow with a prescribed burn. Enhancement will begin in FY2011 and continue through FY2013. Sand Prairie WMA (Sherburne County) ? This 700-acre WMA is situated in the glacial flood plain of the Mississippi River, with mesic to wet remnant prairie, dry prairie, and aspen occurring at the site. In addition to its status as a WMA, Sand Prairie is the first WMA also designated as an Environmental Education Area, providing a strong connection to local school and college students. Actions: Restoration of 159 acres of partially restored oak savanna through the planting of oak trees. The site has one of the most diverse prairie species assemblages in a Minnesota restored prairie. This restoration project will be led by DNR Wildlife in collaboration with Great River Greening. Volunteers will be used in the planting of trees as a way to connect the local community to this important site. The project will begin in FY2011 and conclude in FY2012. Becklin Homestead WMA & County Park (Isanti County) ? This WMA is located along the Rum River and consists of partially restored oak savanna and other habitats. The WMA is also jointly managed as an Isanti County Park and is dedicated to hunting use by Physically Challenged hunters only. Actions: Restoration of 25 acres of oak savanna through direct seeding and planting of trees. Isanti County Parks and DNR Wildlife will collaborate on this restoration project. The project will begin in FY2012 and conclude in FY2013. Rice Area Sportsman Club WMA (Morrison County) ? This WMA (580 acres) consists of extensive oak savanna/woodland along its east border, merging with restored native grass fields and wetlands. Actions: Restoration of 163 acres of deciduous woodland, dry oak woodland and dry oak savanna; enhancement of 29 acres of grassland. Oversight of this project will be provided by Great River Greening in collaboration with the DNR Wildlife. Aside from project oversight, much of the proposed work will be subcontracted through MCC and/or private vendor. The project will begin in FY2011 and will conclude in FY2013. Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge (Sherburne County) ? This 30,700-acre refuge was in 1965 to protect and restore the habitats associated with the St. Francis River Valley for migratory birds and other wildlife, the focus of the Refuge is on the restoration of oak savanna, wetland and Big Woods habitat. Actions: Restoration of 350 acres through prescribed fire and oak seeding of prairie habitats. Great River Greening will hire a contract forester to complement existing USFWS staff engaged in the large-scale oak savanna restoration efforts underway at Sherburne NWR. The forester will flag trees for thinning in line with savanna restoration plans. Springvale County Park (Isanti County) ? This 211-acre park is situated on Johnny's Lake and lies on eskers and wetlands left by the last glaciers. The park includes rolling prairies, oak savanna, northern hardwood forest and wetlands. Actions: Restoration of 20 acres of oak savanna through direct seeding of acorns and planting of oak trees into restored ground layer of restored tallgrass prairie. Isanti County Parks will implement all phases of this restoration project with assistance from volunteers. Restoration will commence in FY2012 and continue into FY2013. Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve (Anoka & Isanti counties) ? Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve is a large ecological research site in central Minnesota with natural habitats that represent the entire state. The Minnesota County Biological Survey ranks Cedar Creek a site of Outstanding Biodiversity Significance, its highest rating, and the Nature Conservancy has named Cedar Creek an Ecologically Significant Area. Actions: Restoration of 1000 acres of oak savanna and 800 acres of oak woodland habitat through prescribed fire and invasive exotic species control. CCESR will hire temporary staff, managed by seasoned employees, to perform most activities related to this restoration. Components (prescribed fire, invasive species control, etc.) may include staff from Great River Greening, MCC and/or the DNR. Restoration will commence in FY2011 and continue through FY2013. Tier 2 Projects: These projects (which were part of the initial proposal) may be pursued if additional funds are procured through other sources to expand the amount available for restoration and enhancement. At present, these projects, despite their merits are not included in the project action plan. Rice Lake SNA (Sherburne County) ? Glacial meltwaters deposited their outwash sands across this large plain, providing the basis for an open, grassy landscape dotted with bur and pin oak--a classic savanna. Rice Lake Savanna SNA contains examples of oak savanna and oak woodland communities. Actions: Restoration of 80 acres of oak savanna habitat through removal of invasive trees/shrubs, planting of old fields and disturbed areas with native seed collected onsite, and prescribed fire. Mississippi River Islands SNA (Sherburne County) ? This SNA includes five islands formed of outwash and alluvium deposited by the Mississippi River, rising as high as 30 feet above river level. Flooding, erosion, and sedimentation have resulted in various stages of succession, creating a mosaic of wet floodplain forest, drier floodplain forest, and sandbar plant communities. Actions: Restoration of 5 acres of hardwood forest through invasive species removal. Sartell WMA (Benton County) ? This 368-acre WMA is featured by Little Rock Creek (which flows through the site), along with significant oak savanna, oak woodland and prairie in various stages of restoration. Actions: Restoration of 91 acres of oak savanna/woodland habitat, and enhancement of 21 acres of grassland and woodland through exotic and native woody species control. Michaelson Farm WMA (Benton County) ? This 276-acre WMA occurs on the Mississippi River floodplain forest, lowland grass and brush, and oak woodland on higher grounds. Management of the unit focuses on maintaining and improving habitat for a diversity of native plants and wildlife. Actions: Enhancement of 120 acres of oak woodland, woodland and grassland through control of exotic and native woody invasive plants. McDougall WMA (Morrison County) ? This 228-acre WMA occurs along the Mississippi River and is characterized by floodplain forest, oak woodland and deciduous woodland, with some crop field. The WMA borders a preserve of The Nature Conservancy along its south edge. Actions: Enhancement of 54 acres of oak woodland, deciduous woodland and grassland through control of exotic and native woody invasive species. Anderson County Park (Isanti County) ? The 174-acre park lies within the Typo Chain of Lakes watershed, and consists of open fields (in the process of prairie and oak savanna restoration), woods, and wetlands adjacent to both Horseshoe and Horse Leg Lakes. Actions: Restoration of 20 acres of oak savanna through direct seeding of acorns and planting of oak trees into restored understory of tallgrass prairie. Why will this strategy work? The strength of the proposal lies with the ASP Habitat Partnership and the diverse skill sets, expertise and resources of its committed partners. Each partner has a long-term demonstrable track record of achievement in conserving the natural resources of the ASP. Collectively, this expertise is deep, and the resources and skill sets each brings to the table can be used more efficiently, effectively, and with greater impact than each acting alone Across the Partnership there exists a broad cross-section of expertise, skill sets, and missions that reach to all corners of the conservation arena: ? Deep expertise in areas of protection, restoration and enhancement ? Strong science ? both pure and applied ? Public and private partners ? Outreach to private landowners ? Sophisticated educational programs woven throughout partner curricula ? Strong volunteer programs ? Solid grant-writing and fundraising capabilities As a Partnership, we acknowledge this habitat work has to be an ongoing effort, one that is far more integrated and collaborative than what has been done in the past. We will collaborate on projects, share resources and expertise, broaden the existing funding base for this work, and outreach to public/private partners and the local community in efficient and effective ways ? all supported foundationally by a world class ecological research center. The ASP Habitat Partnership has already produced over 2000 hours of in-kind time to form as a coalition and develop these projects. This same kind of energy will be the foundation to our new broad collaborative approach to managing public sites throughout the ASP. By supporting this proposal, the LSOHC will gain far more than the basic investment of wildlife habitat improvements on public lands; it will produce major lasting commitments on the part of local conservation managers to ensure the on-going collaborative nature of this Partnership. Funding through the Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) will be used to leverage further funding and in-kind support on all sites where we work. The Partnership will increase involvement by the public through the combining and integrating of the volunteer programs led by Great River Greening, SWCDs, National Wild Turkey Federation, The Nature Conservancy, USFWS, MFRC, Isanti County Parks and others. These groups have wide recognition for volunteer development, yet to date there has not been a connecting and sharing of these programs to the degree needed. This project will embark on that next generation of collaboration. All restoration and enhancement actions will be rooted in sound science and adaptive management. Already a hallmark of its partners, the Partnership is committed to using the most effective practices and restoration/management techniques and monitoring/evaluate results for the benefit of the broader conservation community. In collaboration with the University of Minnesota's Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve, we can ensure that our proposed actions are rooted in the best science. Finally, through the ASP Habitat Partnership, this funding will spearhead the future investment for wildlife habitat on private lands through a systematic and ongoing public awareness process created and implemented by the Partnership. Describe the nature and extent of any partnerships in this project, stakeholder and public participation processes associated with the project and any anticipated support or opposition to the project. The Anoka Sand Plain Habitat Partnership aims, through a coordinated approach, to: 1) elevate and capitalize on resources available for protection, restoration, and enhancement of natural resources in the ASP, 2) share and disseminate management and restoration expertise to public and private landowners, 3) tackle emerging research issues and use findings to guide management actions across public and private lands and waters, and 4) build strong connections to local communities through education, outreach and opportunities for volunteerism.

The ability of the DNR to administer state forests, parks, wildlife management areas, aquatic management areas, and scientific and natural areas is strongly influenced by the management of surrounding lands and waters. Through engagement in partnerships like the ASP Habitat Partnership, the DNR is pursuing integrated management for extensive interspersed public and private lands in order to build its capacity to work across ownership boundaries. Backed by a slate of seasoned resource professionals (wildlife managers, ecologists, restoration experts, scientists) within an array of established conservation agencies and organizations, the Partnership is poised to begin making immediate impacts across 3904 acres of habitat.

Native habitats have become rare and continue to be lost. Oak savanna and prairie - the characteristic habitat of the Anoka Sandplain - now persist over <1% of their historic range. Due to its proximity to the Twin Cities, the ASP is realizing immense development pressure on what native habitat remains. 2. Degradation of habitats on public lands and waters threatens associated wildlife populations. Reduction in habitat quality has had profound impacts on wildlife in the ASP. Minnesota’s CWCP identifies maintenance, enhancement and protection of oak savannas as its first priority in addressing the 97 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) occurring in this ecological subsection. 3. Government agencies often lack sufficient resources/capacity to manage important lands. Inadequate funding/capacity for restoration activities on public lands has resulted in declines in the condition of Minnesota’s most important wildlife habitats. Scope of Work The following outcomes were realized: 1. Expansion of ongoing restoration/enhancement to 16 new project areas; 2. Restoration/enhancement of 3,714 acres, 126% of our 2,952 acres goal, of habitat across priority lands and waters.  Direct recipients and their project sites in this program were: 1.

Our project boundary is a marvelously complex mosaic of habitats, home to quality prairie and savanna, wetlands, fire-dependent forests and woodlands, large habitat cores, designated wild and scenic rivers, and a high concentration of rare species. The amount of high quality remnant habitat in the ASP is remarkable given its proximity to Twin Cities and St. Cloud urban cores. While the location of the ASP provides easy access for the majority of Minnesotans, the associated stressors- invasive species, development pressure, and conversion- threaten its sustainability. The need for continuing and accelerating conservation action here is urgent. The diversity in this rich and important habitat mosaic, complemented by its close proximity to most Minnesotans, is reflected in the number and diversity of organizations that identify the area as a priority, combining our specific knowledge and stakeholder engagement to join forces for its conservation. The robust ASP Partnership is committed to protecting, restoring, and enhancing this spectacular region so it can continue to provide vital habitat, invaluable ecological services, and high-quality recreational and engagement opportunities. Bringing clarity and focus to our Phase 8 and all of our work in this complex area is the science-based ASP Partnership's 10-year Strategic Plan, used to identify priority habitats, opportunities, centers of biodiversity, and a plan of action with measurable goals. With this funding, Great River Greening (GRG), Anoka Conservation District (ACD), Minnesota Land Trust (MLT), National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), and Sherburne County Parks (SherbCo Parks) will secure conservation easements on 164 acres to expand habitat cores and corridors, and complete restoration and enhancement (R/E) on 468 protected acres. Habitats include prairie/savanna grasslands, woodland, and non-forested peat wetlands. Results will be achieved by easement protection of ecologically significant habitats and by conducting invasive species and woody encroachment removal, prescribed burning and conservation grazing, thinning, seeding, and planting.

Overall, we reached 112% of our acreage goals, and an additional 5.4 miles of shoreline. Our actions increased biodiversity, habitat connectivity, recreational opportunities, and landscape resilience, which aligned with the ASP Partnership's 10-year Strategic Plan, DNR Wildlife Action Plan and LSOHC Section priorities. Partners leveraged $656,900 in funding over the course of the grant.","The ASP Partnership project boundary is defined by the DNR's ASP ecological subsection and its intersecting minor watersheds , which captures portions of the Metropolitan Urbanizing, Forest/Prairie Transition, and Northern Forest LSOHC sections. Our project boundary is a marvelously complex mosaic of habitats, home to quality prairie and savanna, wetlands, fire-dependent forests and woodlands, large habitat cores, designated wild and scenic rivers, and a high concentration of rare species. The amount of high-quality remnant habitat in the ASP is remarkable given its proximity to Twin Cities and St. Cloud urban cores. While the location of the ASP provides easy access for the majority of Minnesotans, the associated stressors- invasive species, development pressure, and conversion- threaten its sustainability. The need for continuing and accelerating conservation action here is urgent. The diversity in this rich and important habitat mosaic, complemented by its close proximity to most Minnesotans, is reflected in the number and diversity of organizations that identify the area as a priority, combining our specific knowledge and stakeholder engagement to join forces for its conservation. The robust ASP Partnership is committed to protecting, restoring, and enhancing this spectacular region so it can continue to provide vital habitat, invaluable ecological services, and high-quality recreational and engagement opportunities. Bringing clarity and focus to our Phase 8 and all of our work in this complex area is the science-based ASP Partnership's 10-year Strategic Plan, used to identify priority habitats, opportunities, centers of biodiversity, and a plan of action with measurable goals. With this funding, Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) protected 423 acres and 5.4 shoreline miles of priority habitat through conservation easement. Great River Greening (GRG), Anoka Conservation District (ACD), Minnesota Land Trust (MLT), National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), and Sherburne County Parks (SherbCo Parks) completed restoration and enhancement (R/E) on 768 protected acres. Habitats included prairie/savanna grasslands, woodland, and non-forested peat wetlands. Results were achieved by easement protection of ecologically significant habitats and by conducting invasive species and woody encroachment removal, prescribed burning and conservation grazing, thinning, seeding, and planting. This includes the continuation of a Rare Plant Rescue program to rescue and relocate 11,000 rare plants that would otherwise be destroyed by development, conducting habitat enhancement on protected lands with rare species populations and Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) habitat.

It may have been more realistic to have fewer events. See list of events and attendance in the submitted documents. Although widely publicized, we did not achieve the targeted capstone event; it was canceled due to lack of interest, possibly due to a variety of factors including the event timing and location. It was difficult to do a large amount of fieldwork in the off-season due to the timing of grant cycle. Conversion of site form submittal from hard copy to portal occurred during the project - ultimately, as the OSA portal is currently set up, we end up completing hard copies for the project, then transferring the information into the digital portal. The current portal doesn:t have a way of printing site forms (something they are working on) - also on this note, we were told after starting the project that the Office of the State Archaeologist will give new site numbers but always retains alpha site numbers as a way of double checking field work and projects - in other words - you may find a lithic scatter, but it might not be THE lithic scatter in the Alpha Site Form.

With reciprocity to the three other concert series within 40 miles, there is access to an additional 12 concerts at no additional cost. Complimentary tickets are provided to the area high schools to entice students to attend with the hope of cultivating a life-long love of the performing arts. 9: ""Regional residents gain awareness and appreciation for a variety of artistic disciplines and mediums."" A broad range of live performances is chosen in an attempt to appeal to all cultures. Though musical arts is the primary mission of MVCCA, there are also live performances of dance, magic, and other family-friendly variety shows to broaden appeal. It is our hope that these performances unify our community through an appreciation of musical or performing arts. It is critical to have opportunities where community members of any age can interact and collectively share in an event that enriches our awareness of international talent. At each concert, MVCCA ushers will record the number of attendees that arrive from concert associations in our reciprocity circle in order to gauge the interest level for a particular performance. We will also be tracking the number of free student tickets used at each concert. In addition, audience surveys will be passed out upon entrance to the auditorium. Attendees will be encouraged to complete and hand in during intermission with the incentive of a gift card drawing. Before the second half of the performance begins, one or more surveys will be drawn from the collection and awarded a gift certificate from a local business.

Student involvement was disappointing despite expanding our free ticket reach to more schools.","Achieved some of the proposed outcomes",16293,"Other,local or private",19643,,"Nicholas Krueger, Keith Olson, Carol Westberg, Carol Grau, Donna Krueger, Beth Hampton, Dan Hampton, Bruce Olson, Ingrid Larson",0.00,"Minnesota Valley Community Concert Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"Concert Series 2020-2021",2020-05-01,2022-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Carol,Grau,"Minnesota Valley Community Concert Association","PO Box 493",Montevideo,MN,56265,"(320) 269-6391",cjane56265@yahoo.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Chippewa, Yellow Medicine, Lyon, Swift, Lac qui Parle, Kandiyohi, Lincoln, Anoka, McLeod",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-234,"Jeff Iverson, music, theater, education; Georgette Jones, theater, education, SMAC Board; Maureen Keimig, theater, Michele Sterner, theatre, SMAC Board; Sheila Tabaka, theater, education; John Voit, music, theater, education; Erica Volkir, theater, SMAC Board.","Cheri Buzzeo: theater, music, The Barn Theatre administration, Willmar Main St participant; Lauren Carlson: poetry, film, COMPAS roster artist, Dept. of Public Transformation board; Carisa Clarke: graphic design/web development, arts volunteer, board member DAC of Murray County; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Greg Jodzio: photography/design, Hutchinson Center for the Arts board, Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women's Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor/director/teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician, Hinterland Art Crawl board; Shawn Kinsinger: theater director, actor, musician, Palace Theatre executive director, Green Earth Players vice president, Luverne Street Music board member, Luverne High School Theater artistic director; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker; Alison Nelson: art, music, and dance teacher, KMS Community Ed director, Kerkhoven Fire Department Auxiliary fundraiser; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Betsy Pardick: musician, actor, Dept. of Public Transformation committees; Michele Knife Sterner: theater (actor), SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Louella Voigt: music, fiber art; Blue Mound Area Theatre board; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Pipestone Performing Arts Center board, Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB director; John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Mark Wilmes: Lake Benton Opera House board president, actor/director, musician, reporter;",,2

Physical accessibility is improved at several locations this year, and handicap accessibility is indicated on the map. Attendees will have an improved cultural access with involvement in the youth exhibit and are able to create their own artistic experience with the photo booth. 2: ""Regional residents experience a change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to public art, arts festivals or arts events."" Attendees will learn about different art mediums by speaking to artists and viewing their work. Attendees may appreciate the diversity of local artists. 5: ""Regional artists connect to new audiences and/or build relationships that provide artistic growth.""

Artists are available to interact face-to-face with new customers for six hours during the event. 1: Passports, where visitors indicate the different locations they visited and answered survey questions, will be gathered. Sticky note feedback from the committee for youth artists will be gathered. Reasons why people love art and the art tour (solicited at the photo booth) will be collected. 2: Information will be gathered with the Passport questions and artist survey.

We can provide high-quality entertainment and musical education to our community members, many of whom might not be able to see and hear, in person, this quality of music and performance in different genres. Another goal is to play our part in instilling the arts into our community and the public life of our region. The New London Music Festival has become a yearly tradition where people can come to enjoy the day and experience the rich, live-music tradition of our region and our country. We feel that this is very much in tune with a civic goal of the city of New London: to make the arts an everyday part of community life. We have consciously attempted, over the past several years, to involve even more local businesses and organizations with the festival, whether in sponsorships, donations in kind, or as part of the group of vendors who provide food for the festival. We want to make the Festival, as much as possible, a completely local event celebrating the arts in New London. We have continued to have success in the past two years and will continue to pursue our goal of increasing the number of attendees between the ages of 25-50, who have been historically under-represented in our audiences. Each year the Festival Committee reviews survey forms, which are given to each attendee. Attendees are given an incentive to return the forms by the award of a cash door prize given to a randomly selected person who has filled out and returned a survey form. The results of this survey tell us a lot about the demographics of our audience, what they liked and disliked about the music and the artists, and what we can do better for next year. We also closely review attendance based on ticket sales and monitor comments left on our Facebook site, Website, and New London Music Festival e-mail. The comments are very useful as they help give us a sense of what genres of music are interesting and valuable to our audience and what new areas we might explore. A committee meeting is held following the Festival day each year to read, analyze, and discuss the results and plan for the coming year. We measure our success in terms of total attendance (although we need to factor in local weather conditions on Festival day), attendance increases within the 25-50 age group we have targeted to build up and increases in survey approval ratings from year to year, as well as specific comments made by our attendees.","96% of survey respondents rated the musical artists and variety/quality of the music as ?excellent"" or ?good."" When asked about the cost of tickets for this day of music, 72% said that the ticket cost was ?just right"" and 17% rated the ticket cost as ?a bargain"". We hoped to achieve an attendance level (tickets sold) of 275 people. We fell short of this goal as we sold 169 tickets. With promotional tickets counted in, our total was 210. With the pressure on local businesses to support myriad local causes and projects, only those projects that are perceived to be important to the community receive support. This year over 30 local businesses provided the festival with monetary or in-kind support.","Achieved some of the proposed outcomes",8709,"Other,local or private",14709,,"Steve Slominski, Mark Crellin, Rosemary Bentson, Abigail Duly, Bill Gossman, Bethany Lactorin, Mateo Mackbee",0.00,"New London Music Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"2019 New London Music Festival.",2019-02-15,2019-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Steve,Slominski,"New London Music Festival","PO Box 35","New London",MN,56273,"(320) 295-1615",newlondonmusicfestival@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Anoka, Chippewa, Douglas, Hennepin, Hubbard, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, Lyon, Meeker, Olmsted, Ramsey, Redwood, Renville, Scott, Stearns, Stevens, Swift, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-216,"Anne Dybsetter: visual art, writing; John Ginocchio: music, education; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Jane Nygaard: arts advocate; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University associate director for Access Opportunity Success program, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Tom Wirt: visual art.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women’s Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O’Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Scott Wessels: theater actor, director, writing, media, communications, board member for Green Earth Players; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.","Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, Nicole DeBoer (507) 537-1471",1

We can help our community overcome geographic and economic barriers to accessing high-quality musical performances close to home. In doing this we believe that we are also playing our part in instilling the arts into our community and the public life of our region. The New London Music Festival has become a yearly tradition here where people can come, enjoy the day, and experience live the rich musical tradition of our region and our country. This is very much in tune with the civic direction of New London - to make the arts an everyday part of community life. Part of this goal is to increase the number of attendees between the ages of 25 - 50 as they have been under-represented in our audiences. Each year the Festival Committee reviews survey forms, which are given to each attendee. Attendees are given an incentive to return the forms by the award of a cash door prize given to a randomly selected person who has filled out a survey form. The results of the survey tell us a lot about the demographics of our audience (home town and age), what they liked and disliked about the music and the artists, and what we can do better for next year. We also closely review attendance based on ticket sales and monitor comments left on our Facebook site. Comments, both from the survey and from Facebook, are very useful as they help give us a sense as to what genres of music are interesting and valued by our audience and what new areas we might explore. A meeting of the committee is held within a month after the Festival to read, analyze, and discuss the results and plan for the coming year. Success for us will be measured in total attendance, attendance increases within the 25 - 50 age group, and increases in approval ratings from year to year.","Attendees came from 14 Minnesota counties, 2 other states, plus Canada (2016 had attendees from 11 counties and 1 other state). Attendees liked the music quality and selection of artists - 66% rated it as excellent, 32% as good or satisfactory, and 2% as poor. Attendees were generally satisfied with the pricing of tickets - 84% rated the cost as either a bargain or just right. 16% thought that the price was too high.

We hosted a month-long exhibit, titled Identity , at Creators Space in downtown St. Paul. This event was very well attended over the course of 4 weeks. Additionally, during this exhibit, we hosted 6 events at Creators Space intended to draw specific crowds to the exhibit and engage in various conversations around mass incarceration, criminal justice reform, and supporting arts programming as a therapeutic means to improve conditions of individuals incarcerated in Minnesota. These events included: * Opening Reception * Friends & Family Night * DOC & Community Partners Night * Art & Justice Night * Art, Incarceration, & Healing Event * Private Event with Midway Contemporary Arts * Leadership St. Paul NightThe exhibit at Creators Space drew over 500 attendees through the course of November 2022. From November 2022 through January 2023, Art from the Insidehosted an exhibit at the US Federal Courthouse in downtown Minneapolis. This exhibit was set up in a public space for community members to observe and enjoy while they were at the courthouse. Because it the exhibit was shown in this manner, we are unable to track how many people were exposed to the art from the incarcerated artists featured. However, when this exhibit culminated with a closing reception late January 2023, it was attended by judges, lawyers, politicians, family members of artists, and community members. The third exhibit we've hosted since receiving this grant took place at Inver Hills Community College in their Gallery 120 (a gallery located on campus). Fifteen works from the larger Identityexhibit were included in at Gallery 120. The exhibit was hosted for 5 weeks and during that time Antonio Espinosa and artist and AFTI board member, Ricardo Dominguez, attended and presented at Inver Hills Community College's Student Success Day where they discussed the organization, the exhibit, and AFTI's impact on artists on the inside and the outside. Art from the Inside is now in the process of preparing for our fourth exhibit since receiving this grant. Identity Part 2will be hosted throughout April 2023 at Creators Space in downtown St. Paul. Like the fall exhibit, we plan to host a variety of events to drawn the community to the exhibit and engage with us in important dialogue about our work. Measurable Outcome: Development of formal art/art therapy programming for the correctional facilities We are making progress with this goal of the grant, albeit slow progress. During fall 2022, we prepared a draft framework of an arts program to the MN Department of Corrections for review. We are still waiting to hear back from the DOC about whether they have feedback or if they are prepared for us to implement this program. In the meantime, we have identified someone who we hope will work with us to write the curriculum and serve as a co-facilitator with Antonio Espinosa once the curriculum is written and ready for delivery. We have also met with several other artists/art educators who we hope to hire to facilitate specific components of the arts programming. Measurable Outcome: Mural Project Planned Art from the Inside has had 5 meetings with DOC employees from MCF-Lino Lakes. These include a cross section of staff who represent different parts of the facility (including an associate warden, an Education Director, the facility chaplain, a program director, a case manager, and security staff). Additionally, we have met with Public Functionary and several BIPOC artists represented by the organization. Throughout these meetings, we have defined what type of mural will be eventually installed at MCF-Lino Lakes in their youth offender living unit. We are working with Public Functionary to determine which artists will work with the incarcerated youth and artists to plan, prepare for, an implement the mural. Our goal is to have the mural installed summer 2023. When meeting with the DOC staff, we also discussed future mural projects, most notably a mobilemural that will start at one facility and move throughout facilities in the DOC.; Outcome 1: Host 6 exhibitions in the community We hosted 4 month-long exhibitions in the community (Creators Space Nov 2022, Federal Courthouse Jan 2023, Creators Space April 2023, Unity Church Oct 2023), participated in 2 major community events Grand Old Days and Selby Jazz Festival), and presented at and shared art work at two conferences Juvenile Justice Reform Conference May 2023 & Beyond Bars Conference March 2023). Between these 8 separate events, we reached and exposed our artists to thousands of people. Outcome 2: Development of formal art/art therapy programming in the correctional facilities We met with local artists and art instructors, an art therapist, and a leading expert in art/art therapy programs in correctional settings. All of these meetings, along with conducting research, enabled us to prepare a draft art program that we hope to propose to the MN Department of Corrections and eventually implement upon their approval. We did propose our art program to Dakota County Jails; however, they were not able to commit to the program due to lack of funding. Outcome 3: Complete a mural project We spent an extensive amount of time meeting with various representatives at the MN Department of Corrections to research, organize, plan, and implement the mural project. We met with them over a dozen times between September 2022 and May 2023. We also met with BIPOC artists from the community who were committed to this project and who went to great lengths to prepare for the project (including accessing/visiting the Lino Lakes Correctional Facility where the mural would ultimately be completed). Despite many hours of planning for implementation, the DOC ultimately could not commit to the project. They backed out. During the summer of 2023, Dakota County Jails approached us about partnering to do a mural project. Again, like we did with the MN Department of Corrections, we met with them and did extensive research, planning, and preparation for implementation. Like the MN DOC, they eventually backed out citing lack of funding/resources. During an exhibit we hosted in October, we had participants attending the exhibit engage in a painting activity that will culminate in a traveling mural . We are in the midst of working with the MN Department of Corrections to determine which correctional facilities this mural can be displayed at and work through the logistics of getting it installed. Also, as we were unable to get the mural project completed during the grant period, we worked with documentary artists to create films that could go inside the prisons so that our artists could experience the power of their platform in the community and show each other the power of art to heal.

Watching the kids battle through pre-show nerves and seeing their expressions of delight as the audience interacted with their performance was wonderful.

This recipe is based on the use of Oil of Spike Lavender which I discovered as a solvent through doing the research enabled by this grant. The new medium that I developed dries slower: it allows more flexibility in working time, more translucent layers, and allows color to be manipulated in interesting ways. I was unable to do these things with alkyd mediums (a less toxic alternative but one which dries very quickly and has some other hindering qualities). I gauged my success by my own satisfaction and audience reaction. Studio and exhibition visitors responded well to the new depth of color and the more intricate painting surfaces. I was fortunate enough to sell a very large piece right off the studio wall the week it was completed. This told me that my efforts were fruitful. 2: I had hoped to be able to expand my audience reach by exhibiting in other areas outside of the Twin Cities.

This bore directly on my perception of being boxed in, with connections and recognized skills tightly clustered around the Irish and Scottish musical traditions. The grant has enabled me to forge relationships outside of that area which I plan to build upon, going forward, and has brought to light unsuspected collaboration opportunities between other musicians who had not met or worked together before this project. 2: We created a show based around a dozen songs with a strong link to Minnesota history and heritage, and have had the opportunity to share them with the local public in several ways so far: via radio, on the internet, in workshops for adults and children, and in live shows. The songs bring with them the opportunity to mention little-known and colorful figures from Minnesota history, such as J. P. Wentling, who came to St Anthony from Pennsylvania in the late 1800's and was the first known person to capture a Squonk.

Though the performers learned a lot and gained experience playing new music, the composers themselves really learned the most. There was much discussion between the composers and I about how the harpsichord works best, and what kinds of textures to use. Also, as stated later on, composers listening to the concerts became really excited about the sound possibilities of the harpsichord in their own compositions. I measured the success of this outcome by the liveliness of the discussions that I had with the composers, and the eventual resulting compositions. They were all excellent, and completely different from each other. I also measured success by the number of new composers who expressed interest in writing for the harpsichord in the future. I spoke to at least 4 composers who seemed excited and interested in doing this. 2: More Minnesotans were able to engage in or with the works of Minnesota artists through this project. Again, focusing on the composers, these 4 new works were performed 4 times in concert for this project.

Additionally, because of the recording, some of my colleagues will perform these works in the future.

Without intending it, I had exposed them to an unfamiliar idiom (Czech, Slovak, and Rusyn folk music) that became a learning experience for each of them on their instruments, with the added challenge of successfully melding that folk music with the American folk styles they are more familiar with. I also learned a great deal about American bluegrass, country, and Americana with the added challenge of arranging Eastern European songs in an American folk idiom. The evaluation is in the musicians' comments to me and in what I hear on the recording—a seamless confluence of styles. 2: For the first time, I self-produced both a solo album and an accompanying CD release party, both of which required tremendous planning, promotion, networking, researching, budgeting, and negotiating. Without working diligently on each of those skills, I could neither have completed the album, nor could the performance have been scheduled in time (the album was released 2 weeks before the grant period ended, with the show shortly thereafter on April 20). The most obvious achievement was in the promotion of both: I had interviews on KFAI's Womenfolk and Fubar Omniverse and on Minnesota Public Radio's Radio Heartland; I had radio play beyond those programs; I included Quick Response codes on my posters to track traffic to my site; at least 2 venues (Cesko-Slovanský Podporující Spolek Hall and Black Dog Café) promoted my work on my behalf; and I used Facebook and social media nearly every day to gain exposure.

Other trails commissioning work will show the idea of sculpture at public trails is a concept that will work to spread public art to a new audience.","This project allowed me to successfully transition into working in stainless steel, making me a more competitive public art sculptor. The quality of the sculpture is easy for all to see in its new public home at Montiview Park in Monticello. Upon its installation, the city, very pleased with this project, almost immediately commissioned me to create two more sculptures out of stainless steel for another park in their town. 2: This project demonstrated parks and trails are perfect venues for sculpture, and I was immediately commissioned for more work. The sculpture and project itself; the fact that it is at a mountain bike trail, definitely got people's interest. I have been able to talk to four parks systems so far about how to seek funding and commission art for their trails. I feel this idea will take root and spread.

New and returning chorus members will be invited to participate in the on-going study, each session. We believe it is important to survey returning members to explore the experiences of chorus participants, including those with AD/OAD, which are progressive diseases. Chorus members will complete surveys at the beginning and ending of each 15-week chorus session. During survey data collection, the researchers will interview chorus participants and explore additional participant experiences by asking follow-up questions. In the coming year, we plan also to include questions about how the experience of choral participation has any, if at all, impact on participants’ lives outside of choral rehearsals. Findings from this study will be presented at local, regional, national, and international conferences.","We did not make changes to the evaluation method.

Our participants came from 57 different schools. Their increased skills and motivation strengthened their school music programs and inspired their peers. Our groups performed 21 times for over 6,000 people, bringing them joy and appreciation of music. Overall our artistic goals for the project were met. We ended up serving 153 students in nine ensembles, with overall enrollment approximately the same as last year. We had planned for our ensembles to do at least 14 total performances and they did 21. We hoped to have approximately 2,000 audience members attend our concerts and we estimate that we had more than 6,000. Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands provides our participants with an opportunity to study and perform jazz music with musical peers on a regular basis throughout the school year. While there are similar school-year opportunities for classical musicians and plenty of summer jazz camps, we believe that Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands is unique in providing a high level ongoing jazz rehearsal and performance opportunity during the school year. Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands benefits not just our students, but also their families, friends, schools and the musical community at large. Our students return to their school programs with increased skills and understanding, which strengthens and inspires their peers. This past season students from 60 different schools participated in a Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands group. There were no unusual challenges this year. The project went very smoothly. We added an extra ensemble for 10 weeks in the fall to accommodate some applicants who did not make our higher groups. The students and parents seemed to appreciate that added opportunity. Our groups performed a total of 21 times: Jazz I performed in public six times, and Jazz II five times; Jazz III three times; the Supersax group twice, the fall Mid-Level Group once, and our North Metro and three Mid-Level groups once each. Each of our public performances brings joy and appreciation to hundreds of people at a time. This past season our groups performed for over 6,000 people, a large increase over the previous year. Parents and families of participating students are very supportive. Recent quotes from parents: “Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands is extremely impressive. You attract many of the state's top young musicians to the program, treat them like the artists that they are, and help nurture their talent and musicianship. It is just a great opportunity you provide for them to gather and rehearse each week and then knock our collective socks off when it comes to the concerts.” “Thanks again for 4 wonderful years. You have a superb team of band directors working with you. Zach has learned so much and has had a lot of fun, as well as making a lot of great new friends.” Accessibility: The community we serve has gotten increasingly diverse over the years. Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands recruits students from over 170 different middle and high schools in all seven metro counties. Our students come from diverse geographic, economic, and cultural backgrounds. Students from many different racial/ethnic backgrounds, male and female, have participated in each of the program’s 12 years. Our students vary widely in age and ability. We’ve structured each of our eight groups for different ages, abilities, program lengths, and geographic locations so that we have a spot for almost everyone who has an interest. We provide liberal scholarship assistance in cases of financial need. Students vary in age and ability. What they all share is a desire to learn and perform jazz music, directed by professional musician-educators, in the company of other students who love music as much as they do. Our rehearsal locations are in different parts of the metro area to provide better access to our program. Our concert locations are centrally located and open to the public. Performance dates, times and location are announced publicly. The CDs we produce are available to anyone for a small fee that helps us cover the production cost. We give away a number of free CDs each year to aspiring jazz students. All of the rehearsal or performance facilities used by the Youth Jazz Bands program are accessible to people with disabilities in accordance with ADA guidelines.

Previously, my students have loved and learned from audience feedback.","We offer fourteen creative writing workshops in three Minnesota correctional facilities: Stillwater, Oak Park Heights, and Lino Lakes. 140 men took our classes getting introductions to poetry, fiction writing, and essay writing. Prior to this, there was not one ongoing, consistent creative writing workshop offered in any facility. In addition to offering courses, some facilities allowed non-student inmates to attend internal end-course readings so additional incarcerated men were exposed to opportunities. Many of our students reported, anecdotally, that they found reading partners in the prison at large. These men became trusted readers, offering informal feedback and following their friends' work and progress. In addition, our students often wrote about men they were incarcerated with. Those men happily became literary subjects themselves. We were thrilled at the ripple effects, which we never anticipated. 2: Incarcerated writers have the literal barrier of a razor wire fence. We essentially brought literary community into the prison for long-term classes, readings, and discussion.

Traditional classical music concerts are too long for young children, and the format is not conducive to quality time between parents and children, and 3. Traditional concert format produces anxiety in parents about how their child/ren will behave. We addressed these barriers by making concerts free for children and students, making concerts one hour long and creating an environment that is child-friendly (tables set up with coloring activities, snacks provided, doors left open with easy access to hallway and bathrooms), and by programming movements of classical music rather than complete works. We announced at every concert that it is okay for children to make some noise, dance, move around, exclaim at exciting moments, etc. We evaluated if this worked by speaking and handing out surveys to willing parents and children after concerts while they looked more closely at instruments and met musicians. 2: Because of Lyra's Family Concerts and Lyra Youth baroque orchestra, families were able to attend classical music concerts at a very low price, and participate in a very high quality arts experience. Additionally, 14 young musicians (under 18) participated in a performance with Lyra musicians, received coaching to prepare for these performances, and were able to play with baroque bows and harpsichords.

For this project, Stages Theatre Company worked with middle schools in Big Fork, Duluth, Mankato, Columbia Heights and Minneapolis. In order to evaluate the project, Stages Theatre Company hired an independent professional evaluator to design teacher surveys and work with the teaching artists to design and review the curriculum and gather additional information needed to evaluate the project's impact. Stages Theatre Company's full evaluation report is included as an attachment to this final report. 2: By bringing the tour of The Diary of Anne Frank and the classroom experience to five middle schools, Stages Theatre Company provided a theatre arts experience to 801 additional Minnesota students who would not otherwise have had access to the theatre arts in their school. Two teaching artists worked directly with 801 6th-8th graders and collaborated with eleven teachers in the classroom on playwriting, adaptation for the stage, and staged readings. This project used Stages Theatre Company’s embedded professional development model where classroom teachers worked alongside Stages Theatre Company’s teaching artists and received hands-on experience in implementing the arts-integrated curriculum. Using the Create, Perform and Respond model, Stages Theatre Company teaching artists and classroom teachers guided students in the use of theatre and playwriting techniques to write their own scripted scenes adapted from literature.

Most art teachers are not trained in textile art techniques and don't have access to bring the tools and equipment into their classrooms. For the two groups of students at our partner schools, participation in the residencies offered through this program was the first time they had exposure to fiber art techniques including embroidery, sewing, digital fabric design and dyeing. The six week residency period allowed students the unique opportunity to design every aspect of their finished project. The teaching artist was able to introduce them to digital fabric design, a cutting edge technique in the fiber art field, and teach basic sewing skills and provide access to professional techniques and tools for them to sew garments, wall art and accessories of their own design. 2: Textile Center has partnered previously with Sobriety High school and both students and teachers were enthusiastic about continuing the partnership into another school year. Teachers at Sobriety chose the poetry unit to combine with fiber art because in the past poetry has been very difficult for students to connect with. By adding the art component, the students were able to study poetry from a different perspective and increase both their engagement with the literature as well as the art component.

We talk with individuals and learn of their particular circumstances, and then we try to tailor an opportunity for them.

Participants in the classes will reach deeper levels of engagement with Somali culture through art study; weaving students will end the class series with an in-progress piece of weaving to work on at home; gabay students will end class with a fully memorized poem; and dance class participants will perform the dances they've learned","Weaving: The first session took place at Franklin Library in Minneapolis in February-March, and the second session took place at Skyline Tower in St Paul in August-September. We chose these locations as gathering places for members of the Twin Cities' Somali community, where people might stumble upon the classes and choose to check them out. This approach was successful, but we would like to continue to deepen our engagement of Somali youth specifically. In the future, we will offer classes that are separate for Somali youth and non-Somalis, because feedback indicated that Somali youth felt more ownership of spaces that were specifically for them. We would also like to continue to improve in regards to student retention, so they can gain deeper understanding of the craft. In the future, we will likely shorten each class session and also target activities to spaces that cater to more specific demographics, to increase a collective accountability for finishing the class. Finally, Cultural Interpreter/Education Coordinator Amina’s role in the class was also part of the program’s mission, as Amina is herself a young Somali-American adult interested in studying her own culture, and the class offered her a unique opportunity to engage deeply with elder women teachers and study a traditional art form. Dance: This program engaged a phenomenal group of Somali-American teens and young adults. These participants exceeded our expectations for their commitment, and established a model for future youth programming at the Museum. Participants made significant sacrifices to participate in the Dance Troupe, including one student who ended a romantic relationship in favor of focusing on dance study. In addition, the participants created a space for themselves to call the Somali Museum home. Several Dance participants now come to the Somali Museum most days after school, as a space to do their homework immersed in their culture. Other participants have testified that participation in the Dance Troupe has kept them away from trouble and bad influences. One more story-- Although it is not covered in this grant, it also bears mentioning that this year the Dance Troupe was invited to perform in Grand Forks, North Dakota as part of the African Arts Arena annual showcase, as well as in Washington, DC at a gala event of the organization Islamic Relief USA. It was a great honor for these youth to represent their community through their art. Poetry: Although we advertised the class as for those who already speak, read, and write Somali, several participants attended hoping to actually increase their knowledge of Somali language. This is an important demographic for us to offer resources to, but unfortunately limited the ability of this program to offer high-quality arts programming for participants who came seeking poetry study. We will work to be extremely clear in marketing in the future about the ability levels required to attend programs. Sixteen young adults performed as the Somali Museum Dance Troupe, the Twin Cities’ premier Somali folk dance ensemble. Weaving classes offered 112 participants a transformative experience in which their knowledge of Somali culture was deepened through immersive study with teaching artists.",,3960,"Other, local or private",13960,,"Said Salah Ahmed, Abshir Isse, Busad Ali Kheyre, Asha Hibad, Mohamed Ahmed Salad, Faisal Deri, Abdulfatah Mohamed, Yassin Dualeh, Mohamoud Abdullahi Mohamed",0.00,"Somali Artifact and Cultural Museum AKA The Somali Museum of Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for classes in the arts of nomadic finger-weaving, oral poetry, and dance in cultural immersion settings for Somali-American youth.

Also, this outcome was measured by a pre-program survey, which indicated only 10% of arts learners had taken part in an in-depth theatre arts learning experience, thus increasing the quantity of arts learning opportunities for Minnesota youth. The majority of theatre experiences indicated by arts learners took place in schools, so offering theatre at a residential treatment center increased the venues for arts learning opportunities. Secondary: Following the completion of the project, 77% of participants said they would definitely or were interested in participating in theatre in the future.

The outcomes and progress are measurable within the context of the previous year, and while findings from this year reveal new challenges, significant strides are being made in the area of trust and barriers to participation are clearly less.

We will also network with hosts and community members to reach diverse communities and help enrich the performance skills of young artists. Our performance teams will record the number and demographic information of the audiences at each performance. Additionally we will survey our community partner hosts and our performing artists to help evaluate and improve the program in the future.","The Driveway Tour had another successful season, performing 106 times and reaching around 7000 audience members in a wide range of communities and neighborhoods. As one of our hosts put it ""So friendly and accepting :)"" The 2016 Driveway Tour had many artistic goals. Most important of these was providing a valuable and enriching experience for communities by working with local partners to host an inclusive event around a professionally produced puppetry performance. To achieve this goal, we cast three teams of puppeteers, each cast performing one of the three puppet shows. The Driveway Tour Performed 106 times this summer in the Twin Cities Metro area and even traveling as far out as Red Wing. Our community partners included both experienced and first time hosts. Feedback from hosts was conducted via an online survey was very positive. Specific quotes include ""It was the highlight of the summer"" and ""There was a grandmother who laughed so hard and loud during the entire performance, she really got a lot more than she was expecting."" This summer we reached a total of 6923 audience members with at 106 Driveway Tour performances. We unfortunately did not reach our audience goal (10,000), we did perform slightly more than our goal for number of performances (105). Part of our lower attendance was a larger number of show cancellations than in previous years. These were due to a number of reasons, but primarily because of weather or other unforeseen events. In the future we will try to work with hosts to have additional contingency plans available so that the show can go on. This summer also included a large number of first time hosts, who often have a hard time attracting audiences in their first year, when there is not an established tradition. We will also continue our efforts to help our hosts spread the word and publicize their events. Another goal of the program is to create a professional quality performance while training and developing the skills of young artists. We originally estimated that we would train between 3-6 performers this summer, and we exceeded this goal and trained 5 new performers and further developed the skills of 3 returning puppeteers. These returning performers took on the additional leadership role of being a show manager, handling the day to day logistics and host relationships at performances. We received the feedback about our performer teams ""Everyone was really impressed with the professionalism as well as how engaging it was for children and adults!"" As in previous years the Driveway Tour succeeded in its goal of reaching audience members brought together through the efforts of our community partners and hosts in local performance locations i.e. backyards, schools, libraries, etc. In 2016 we reached audiences that were approximately 21% people of color. This percentage is very similar to that of previous years. This year also featured the show The Adventures of Juan Bobo, which is performed half in Spanish and half in English. This show is often requested to visit communities with a large Spanish speaking population, while still being accessible to families who speak any language. Some feedback we received about Juan Bobo included, ""We loved the bilingual aspect of our performance."" and ""It's great because it gets the kids outside and involved in the story, and we loved having Juan Bobo in our largely Hispanic neighborhood."" Also this summer we saw a change in our host composition as we had a much larger percentage of first-time hosts apply and bring shows to their neighborhoods. This is very exciting and will hopefully indicate a new generation of hosts starting a tradition in their communities as is common among our more established hosts. As some new hosts stated ""Great opportunity to meet our neighbors, as we were new to the neighborhood."" and ""This performance was part of our first potluck event ever."" One exciting aspect of this summer was our Ice Cream Social. Each summer Open Eye hosts a community Ice Cream Social at our physical location at 24th and Portland in South Minneapolis to engage with our own neighborhood. This event features free ice cream and games as well as performances of all three Driveway Tour Shows. This year we had attendance numbers, upwards of 400 people in our small theatre. Additionally we were very successful in bringing in people from our diverse neighborhood, with about 50% of the attendees being people of color. We will continue our efforts and outreach to hosts who identify as people of color and hopefully continue to increase opportunities for new and diverse communities to engage with our work.",,37500,"Other, local or private",47500,,"Robert Van Nelson, Charles Vanek, Larry Lamb, Jean Abbot, Kathy Gaskins, Susan Haas, Craig Harris, Keith Lester, Candace Miller Lopez, Michelle Pett, Ryan Setterholm, Michael Sommers, Amy Warner",0.00,"Open Eye Figure Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to present the 14th annual Driveway Tour, offering family-friendly puppet theater to more than 100 communities in the Twin Cities area during summer 2016.

32603,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3"," ACHF Cultural Heritage","The Somali Museum of Minnesota will present exhibitions and lectures on Somali culture at 10 community institutions in the Twin Cities. At each event, 20-200 people will encounter and engage with Somali traditional art and culture. Success of this project will be measured by ongoing demand for the program. We will track locations continuing to request presentations, and plan for future programming with those sites. Content of the culture programming will be evaluated by Somali Museum advisors, including: Ahmed Ismail Yusuf, poet and folklorist; Scott Pollock, American Swedish Institute; Cadar Kaahin, historian and storyteller; and Said Salah Ahmed, Board Chair of the Somali Museum and globally-respected leader in Somali culture preservation.","The Somali Museum presented the Mobile Culture Show at 24 events, engaging 2,115 participants in an interaction with Somali culture and art. 900 attendees were Somali-American. Youth who had never before studied their traditional culture immersed themselves in learning about traditional artifacts and artworks, and non-Somalis gained information about Somali culture and art for the first time. The Somali Museum aimed to increase access to Somali traditional arts by bringing a mobile exhibition out into the community. We achieved this goal by bringing mobile exhibitions to 24 community events around the metro. These events comprised an exhibition of cultural artifacts, a lecture presentation, a question-and-answer period, and in some cases a family storytelling component. For 8 locations, the event included performance by the Traditional Dance Troupe. This enabled audiences to immerse themselves in Somalia's lively, joyful traditional dance. Many audience members cited the dance component as their favorite part of the event. Locations for this program were as follows: 1) Immanuel Lutheran Church – Cross Cultural Dialogue Presentation; 2,3) University of Minnesota, Coffman Union – Gallery Opening Reception, Culture Showcase; 4) West Bank Business Association – West Bank Crash Course; 5) Anoka County Immigration and Refugee Committee – Cultural Competence Training; 6-11) Franklin Library – Franklin Culture Camp; 12) CommonBond Communities – Community Presentation; 13) Children’s Theater Company – Brown Bag Lunch; 14) Whittier International School – Poetry Event; 15) Integrated Arts Academy – Extracurricular presentation; 16) Armatage Elementary – Extracurricular presentation; 17) Skyview Elementary School – Student club presentation; 18) Minnesota History Center – Valentine’s Day Around the World; 19) General Mills – Cultural Workshop; 20) ALIF Center – Family Event; 21) St Paul College – Racial Equity Talks; 22) Whittier School – Whittier Alliance Community Presentation; 23) Lyndale School – Family Cultural Night; 24) Al Amal School – Cultural Night. One highlight from the project was a 6-week event at Franklin Library. After previous seasons, we determined that recurring events are more effective for deepening youth’s engagement. This year, we partnered with Franklin Library because it is a major community hub and hangout for Somali teens. We offered a 6-week program as part of the Library’s regular teen programming, which we called “Franklin Culture Camp.” This program included 3 presentations of artifacts and art history lecture, followed by 3 presentations focused on dance. The participants shared positive feedback, saying that they had never known their own art history was something they could “study” the way they study other subjects in class. Many participants pledged to continue as volunteers at the Somali Museum. Overall, demand for this program exceeded our expectations, and we were delighted to present this program at 24 locations. To accommodate increased demand, we set up a system of work-sharing among staff, rather than having all staff at each event. This encouraged us to train all staff in cultural presentations and setting up displays, which has increased our capacity. We also adapted our pay documentation to tracking weekly hours, rather than hours per event. This was an effective solution, and we will continue this approach as the program grows. We aimed to target Somali youth re-connecting with their heritage and non-Somalis encountering Somali culture for the first time. We achieved this goal by bringing mobile exhibitions to 24 community events with diverse audiences. These events were catered to different audiences’ needs, allowing non-Somalis to ask questions and begin to understand Somali artistic culture, while challenging Somali youth participants to dig deeply into studying their own heritage. Participants at locations were as follows: Immanuel Lutheran Church – 45 participants (all non- Somali adults); University of Minnesota, Coffman Union – 65 participants (mixed Somali and non-Somali college students); Coffman Union Event 2 – 300 (mixed Somali and non-Somali students and instructors); West Bank Business Association – 10 participants (mixed Somali and non-Somali adults and youth); Anoka County Immigration and Refugee Committee – 100 (non-Somali adults); Franklin Library – 15 (all Somali youth); CommonBond Communities – 40 (mixed Somali and non-Somali adults); Children’s Theater Company – 30 (non-Somali adults); Whittier International School – 150 (mixed Somali and non-Somali parents and children); Integrated Arts Academy – 60 (non-Somali high school students); Armatage Elementary – 100 (mixed Somali and non-Somali elementary students); Skyview Upper Elementary School – 40 (Somali students); Minnesota History Center – 600 (mixed Somali and non-Somali families and children); General Mills Headquarters – 20 (mixed Somali and non-Somali adults); ALIF Center – 80 (Somali parents and children); Saint Paul College – 60 (mixed Somali and non-Somali college students and instructors); Whittier School – 100 (mixed Somali and non-Somali adults and children); Lyndale Community School – 200 (mixed Somali and non-Somali parents and children); Al Amal School – 100 (all Somali high school students). Our goal was to increase access for Minnesotans of all backgrounds, and particularly Somali-American youth, to Somali culture and art. We achieved this goal by engaging an estimated 2,115 people. Of these, estimated 900 participants were of Somali background. Both non-Somali and Somali heritage participants shared positive feedback, saying that the Somali Museum offers a resource for cultural learning that is unavailable from any other program in the Twin Cities. Interestingly, both Somalis and non-Somalis shared a similar comment: they were happy to begin to learn about Somali art and culture, but this event didn’t do enough to teach the full complexity of Somali culture. Participants from both demographics expressed that one-time events were essential for “breaking the ice,” but they also desired opportunity for deeper study. The Somali Museum is taking this feedback to its leadership and will deeply consider ways to offer deeper study in the future. We purposefully tracked and recorded information of those expressing this sentiment, so we can contact them when we implement new study programs.",,5000,"Other, local or private",15000,,"Said Salah Ahmed, Yassin Dualeh, Abdulfatah Mohamed, Abshir Isse, Asha Hibad, Busad Ali Kheyre, Mohamoud Abdullahi Mohamed, Mohamed Ahmed Salad, Faisal Deri",0.00,"Somali Artifact and Cultural Museum AKA The Somali Museum of Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to present an exhibition of traditional Somali artworks in 10 locations, targeting Somali youth and segments of the Somali community that lack access to studying traditional Somali arts and culture.",2015-09-23,2016-03-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Sarah,Larsson,"Somali Artifact and Cultural Museum","3007 Cedar Ave c/o Osman Ali",Minneapolis,MN,55407,"(612) 998-1166 ",slarsson@adcminnesota.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,"Anoka, Carver, Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-667,"Denise Prosek: Artistic, administration; Laura Sorensen: Artistic, administration, organizational; Mathew Janczewski: Artistic, organizational development, administration; Adriana Rimpel: Artistic, administration; Chris Garza: Artistic, administration, audience development; Natalie Madgy: Administration, education, artistic; Caitlin Marlotte: Administration, fundraising, artistic; Jane Heer: Artistic, administration; Elysia Michaelsen: Artistic, education.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music Teacher and Performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair of El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and Performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

Ben Berger was a park board commissioner and, after seeing a dandelion fountain in Australia, fundraised to build a sister fountain right here in Minnesota. It has become a historic icon in Minneapolis and its park system during several planning processes throughout the last many decades, the community has strongly communicated their desire to preserve, maintain, and restore the fountain for future generations. The Berger Fountain rehabilitation was identified as a priority in the Loring Park Neighborhood Revitalization Plan (NRP) Phase I Plan, the Loring Park NRP Phase II Plan, and the Loring Park Neighborhood Small Area Plan; all three plans were adopted by the Minneapolis City Council in 1995, 2008, and 2013, respectively. The Downtown Public Realm Plan, adopted in 2016, also identified the Berger Fountain as a priority in its planning. A Berger Fountain Task Force (Task Force) was formed in 2014 to work independently and collaboratively with the MPRB to improve maintenance and support for the fountain. In 2017, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) adopted the Downtown Service Area Master Plan (DSAMP) which set goals for long-term development and improvements to parks guided by extensive engagement from the communities that MPRB serves. After months of engaging with community, DSAMP outlined a high-level vision for Loring Park, including a vision for Berger Fountain and the surrounding park space. This vision included refurbishing and retaining the dandelion fountain alongside additional community amenities, such as considering a water feature, and adding a plaza and additional seating areas to increase community access (see pages 4-73 through 4-77 for DSAMP Berger Fountain content: https://www.minneapolisparks.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/MPRB_DSAMP_Nov2017_ch4.pdf.) In summer 2020, the Berger Fountain ceased to operate because to deferred maintenance and capacity due to the pandemic, which heightened the need to move rehabilitation forward. In June 2022, landscape architect Damon Farber LLC was hired to complete a rehabilitation assessment and preliminary cost estimate for future work. Damon Farber's assessment informed next steps in the process. In 2023, MPRB hired Damon Farber again to engage the community further and complete a final design concept and initial cost estimate. These funds will allow MPRB to advance design work, leading to the reconstruction and restoration the fountain and plaza in 2025. Our community partners are currently fundraising to finalize funds for construction. The project has benefited from a large of support and grassroots engagement/funds from community members across the city and country who love the fountain and want to see it back in working order.",,,2024-08-12,2026-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Julia,Wiseman,"Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board","2117 West River Road N",Minneapolis,MN,55411,612-230-6437,jsikkink@minneapolisparks.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Department of Administration",,"Anoka, Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carlton, Carver, Cass, Chippewa, Chisago, Clay, Clearwater, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Dodge, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Grant, Hennepin, Houston, Hubbard, Isanti, Itasca, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Koochiching, Lac qui Parle, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, Marshall, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pennington, Pine, Pipestone, Polk, Pope, Ramsey, Red Lake, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Rock, Roseau, Roseau, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Steele, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Wabasha, Wadena, Waseca, Washington, Watonwan, Wilkin, Winona, Wright, Yellow Medicine",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/berger-fountain-restoration-project,,,,

Visitors can view birds and small mammals running through the exhibit. We also have informational signage about pollination and our zoo's history. We will be measuring the amount of time visitors are viewing this habitat before we introduce caribou to the revitalized exhibits. After the project is complete, we will be measuring how long visitors are viewing the habitat with caribou present. We aim to increase visitor time spent at the exhibit, which would increase their time spent at the Lake Superior Zoo. Outcome: 25% of zoo visitors will report (via survey) that they learned new information about caribou and why they are no longer found in Minnesota. Outcome: This exhibit will increase the time spent at the zoo by at least 20 minutes. Qualitative Data: Visitors will be asked a small series of questions on their knowledge and views of caribou before the animals and signage are present. This will give us a baseline amount of data on visitor knowledge and level of empathy for caribou. After the exhibit is finished, the same series of questions will again be asked to an equal number of visitors. This new data will help us to understand if we have met our goals of increasing visitor awareness and empathy toward caribou. Outcome: Visitors will report feeling an increased awareness of the conservation topics related to caribou. Outcome: Visitors will report an increased understanding of the importance of caribou from an indigenous perspective.","Achieved proposed outcomes",,,,,,,0.28,"Lake Superior Zoo",,"Revitalizing the old deer yards into Caribou Yards is a transformative initiative aimed at creating habitats for a herd of caribou. The need for this project arises from the closure of the old deer yards, which were previously inhabited by white-tailed deer until the last one passed away of old age. Subsequently, the fencing surrounding these three habitats has weathered and suffered damage during the years of inoccupancy. In order to repurpose this location and provide a new home for animals, it is imperative to undertake comprehensive measures, including the removal of dead trees, construction of new shelters, and the replacement of fencing to meet modern zoological standards. The intrinsic value of this endeavor lies in the historical significance of caribou to the state of Minnesota. Historically native to the region, this species has played a vital role in the native ecosystem. Additionally, they held cultural importance for the indigenous people living in northern Minnesota, who historically hunted and utilized the caribou. Establishing caribou exhibit provides a unique opportunity to work with local tribes to tell the story of this remarkable species. Beyond exhibition, the project also encompasses active participation in research within the state of Minnesota. Staff members will direct their research efforts towards understanding the reasons behind the disappearance of caribou from the region and identifying contemporary threats to their existence. Collaborating with researchers and local government authorities, the staff will explore the feasibility and potential for breeding and re-releasing Caribou within the state. This dual focus on education and research underscores the commitment to not only showcase the animals but also actively contribute to the conservation and understanding of this iconic species in the Minnesota ecosystem. This project will include educational programming by incorporating dynamic interpretive signage and elements strategically placed across multiple locations within the exhibit. This innovative approach aims to create an immersive and enriching experience for visitors, fostering a deeper understanding of the cultural and ecological significance of caribou in Minnesota. Through carefully developed interpretive signage, visitors will embark on an educational journey that transcends traditional boundaries. Placed strategically at key points at the exhibit viewing areas, these dynamic elements will offer insights into the historical native habitat of caribou, their role in Minnesota's ecosystem, and their cultural significance, particularly in the context of the indigenous community in northern Minnesota. The interpretive elements will not only convey information but also engage visitors through interactive and visually compelling displays. By utilizing multimedia features, such as static signage and interactive touchpoints, the exhibit aims to cater to diverse learning styles and preferences, ensuring an inclusive and accessible educational experience for all visitors. Furthermore, the placement of interpretive signage at multiple locations within the exhibit ensures a comprehensive exploration of caribou-related topics and facts. Visitors can seamlessly integrate education into their exploration of the habitat and animal viewing, while gaining a holistic understanding of the species and its importance to Minnesota's natural and cultural heritage. This enhanced educational programming aligns with our commitment to environmental education and conservation, as well as fostering empathy for nature and wildlife. By providing dynamic interpretive elements, the exhibit not only informs visitors about the species but also inspires a sense of responsibility and advocacy for the conservation of caribou and their habitats. Through this innovative approach, the exhibit aspires to be a dynamic platform for learning, promoting awareness, and fostering a deeper connection between visitors and the rich cultural and ecological tapestry of Caribou in Minnesota.",,,2023-12-20,2025-06-30,,"In Progress",,,Haley,Cope,"Lake Superior Zoo",,,,,,HCope@lszoo.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Department of Administration",,"Anoka, Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carlton, Carver, Cass, Chippewa, Chisago, Clay, Clearwater, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Dodge, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Grant, Hennepin, Houston, Hubbard, Isanti, Itasca, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Koochiching, Lac qui Parle, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, Marshall, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pennington, Pine, Pipestone, Polk, Pope, Ramsey, Red Lake, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Rock, Roseau, Roseau, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Steele, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Wabasha, Wadena, Waseca, Washington, Watonwan, Wilkin, Winona, Wright, Yellow Medicine",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/caribou-exhibit,,,,

We don't get to see those original baby carriers anymore. That's amazing! I'm glad we have collectors who have held on to relics to share with the public. Hope to see these in the future when I visit the center. Wow! So many unique designs!! Very nice!! I would like to see larger versions! Wonderful!!!   Some of the textiles was borrowed by ArtReach St. Croix in Stillwater, Minnesota for an exhibit that started in May 2021 and ended the first week of July 2021.   Since we were not able to do a physical exhibit and opted for a hybrid exhibit model due to the pandemic, we were able to realize some cost savings. As such, we decided to acquire six large paintings by Minnesota artist Jackie Yang. The paintings are historically significant because it depicted the Hmong-Minnesotan's role in partnering with the United States during the Secret War of Laos in saving American lives. These paintings were on loan to the Center for Hmong Studies, but we were able to negotiate a reasonable price for the acquisition of them.

This highly-used regional resource is home to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve, the largest park in the Anoka County Parks system, tallying over 700,000 visits per year. Unfortunately, Centerville Lake experiences frequent and severe algae blooms, and needs assistance to meet state water quality standards and user expectations. The lake is listed as impaired for excess nutrients; average summer phosphorus and chlorophyll-a concentrations exceed the state standards by a factor of two. Facilities at the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve are often closed due to health concerns associated with blue-green algae blooms. Much work has been done over the past 15 years to diagnose and control nutrient loading. Following the completion of the TMDL study, multiple watershed phosphorus management projects were completed, including standard stormwater BMPs (e.g. raingardens, biofiltration basins, and wet ponds) and a significant stormwater reuse project. Despite these efforts, water clarity remains poor, and algae blooms continue. More recently, the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) completed a series of diagnostic studies to better understand the sources and magnitude of nutrient loads. These studies show that internal phosphorus loading - specifically, sediment-phosphorus release - is the primary nutrient source for Centerville Lake, and the primary driver of the severe algae blooms. The Rice Creek Watershed District is proposing to control internal phosphorus loading by inactivating sediment phosphorus with aluminum sulfate (alum). The proposed alum treatment targets the largest source of phosphorus to Centerville Lake, and is the most impactful and cost-effective tool available to restore water clarity in Centerville Lake. Factors that could negatively affect the longevity of the proposed alum treatment were assessed (i.e. common carp and watershed loading), and found to be negligible. The proposed project will provide control of sediment phosphorus release and result in attainment of state water quality standards. Most importantly, the proposed project will control nuisance algae blooms, restoring an important and highly-used regional resource.

A list of proposed land acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.",,"Protect in fee 238 acres of wetlands, 3 acres of prairie and 17 acres of forest",,317000,"Anoka County and Trust for Public Land",940000,,,,"Anoka County","Local/Regional Government","Acquisition of Columbus Lake Conservation Area will protect 258 acres of quality habitat for game and waterfowl hunters, creating a wildlife corridor connecting Lamprey Pass WMA to other protected habitat.","This project acquired 258 acres of wetland and creek corridor just south of the Lamprey Pass Wildlife Management Area (WMA). It protects nearly all of the shoreline of Columbus Lake, a 20-acre shallow lake, and nearly complete public ownership of a 20+ mile conservation corridor, extending from the WMA and along Rice Creek to the Mississippi River. Previously there was no connection between the WMA and the other tracts of publicly owned habitat. The new parcels have a rich mixture of habitat types, including emergent marsh, cattail marsh, mixed hardwood swamp, shrub swamp, maple/basswood islands, poor fen and rich fen. Most of the area is identified within the state's County Biological Survey as some of the last remaining high quality natural communities in the metro area. The property further provides important habitat for many species in the greatest conservation need, including Blanding’s Turtles, Snapping Turtles, Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, Black Crowned Night Herons, American Bitterns, and Water Willow. The land provides excellent habitat with hunting opportunities for not only waterfowl, but also for pheasant, turkey and deer. Rice Creek also offers opportunities for bow-fishing and angling for northern pike. This was a rare opportunity to obtain high quality habitat that is available to present and future generations of metropolitan area sportsmen and women. The property is within one half hour from downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. The conservation of Columbus Lake and Rice Creek provides many water quality benefits, including sustaining drinking water quality by preserving an important headwaters area and source of water into the Mississippi River. The acquisition was a priority for Anoka County not only because of the habitat, biological, and recreational attributes discussed above; but also because it is a priority in the County’s Natural Resources Management Plan. The project had broad local support and was a priority for many local sportsmen’s groups. Letters of support for this project were submitted from the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association, the National Wild Turkey Federation, the Minnesota Waterfowl Association and Pheasants Forever. The City of Columbus and local citizens further supported this acquisition. The parcels were selected based on their native habitat quality and the need for protection. The previous landowner had development plans drawn up for this land and intended to develop it had this conservation effort not been successful. Such development would have eliminated the connection between the WMA, this conservation area and the large tract of public land to the south. The County asked The Trust for Public Land (TPL) for assistance in completing this acquisition. TPL then purchased the property from the landowners for its appraised fair market value of $1,207,000. The County in turn, purchased the land from TPL and contributed $250,000 towards this project; $200,000 in capital towards the acquisition itself and $50,000 for initial site development costs including signing, parking and restoration of a field area to native prairie. The purchase price of the property was $1,207,000. With the Lessard Sam's Outdoor Heritage Council funding of $940,000, and the County's $250,000 contribution, there still was a funding gap of $67,000, which TPL generously filled. The land is open to public hunting and fishing. The County worked with the Commissioner of Natural Resources to set the appropriate regulations for the resource in the same manner as was done for the Cedar Creek Conservation Area previously funded by the LSOHC. The County also coordinated with the DNR on management of this land so that it is consistent with that of the neighboring WMA. The Columbus Lake property is of such high quality that it meets numerous goals and priorities in statewide resource management plans, including the Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan (SCPP) and LSOHC’s Metro Urbanizing Section Vision. As noted, the Columbus Lake acquisition has also been identified in the County’s Natural Resources Management Plan, which establishes a comprehensive and prioritized approach to resource conservation across the County. Participants in the development of this plan included the DNR, the University of Minnesota, the Anoka Conservation District, Rice Creek Watershed District and the City of Columbus. The City has further incorporated the Rice Creek corridor into its comprehensive land use plan for permanent protection.","Final Report",2012-07-01,2014-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,VonDeLinde,"Anoka County Parks and Recreation","550 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW",Andover,MN,55304,"(763) 767-2860",john.vondelinde@co.anoka.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Anoka,"Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/columbus-lake-conservation-area,,,,

Develop a music curriculum for area schools and other community partners. Provide continuing professional education for our artist/instructors. The Center for Irish Music is proud its community music school has become an unprecedented new revenue stream for the area’s most accomplished Irish musicians and artists. The growth of the Center for Irish Music over the past six years has provided artistic and financial opportunities for professional, traditional musicians in the community. We have gone from two paid instructors in 2004 to 18 currently. Paying our fine musicians not only the respect they deserve, but the living wage they require to practice and perfect their art is one of the values at the very heart of the Center for Irish Music, and is an outcome we share with the Community Arts Schools and Conservatories program. Ongoing programming is evaluated during instructor meetings held three times per year with feedback presented at monthly board meetings. Programming is also evaluated by examining statistics such as repeat enrollment, attendance at family sessions and larger events, and the number of new students enrolled. General interest in the center is measured by the number of sustaining members, the number of requests to our e-mail distribution and mailing lists, the number and type of media promoting the center, the number of Facebook/My Space friends, and the number of hits on our web site. Finally, the success of programming is measured by its impact on our financial balance sheet. Evaluations with instructors have shown an ongoing interest in participatory decision-making. Instructors play a critical role running CIM and have taken the lead on suggesting changes to the instructor compensation system and class fees. Evaluations from students have indicated a continued strong interest in Irish song classes and CIM has expanded this area of programming both in regular classes and with master workshops. Progress towards meeting our outcomes will be measured by the number of students enrolled in classes, the number of outreach events conducted in the coming years, and in community attendance at our events.","Curriculum for an early childhood class for 2-4 year olds was developed and a new class was offered. This included hiring an additional teacher. Additional funding is needed to finish the component of a professionally recorded and produced CD and book. Additional funding is being sought. Success was measured by the development of a new class and by the enrollment of young students. A music curriculum for area schools and community partners has been developed and has allowed expanded outreach into the community. One new performance was at a community festival in Rochester; another at a Saint Paul Library; and a beginning ensemble performed at a festival in Brainerd. Success is being measured by the number of students engaging in the performance opportunities; the number of new events utilizing performances; and audience reached.

As student enrollment has grown, so too has the demand for new programs for our students. Increase the number and depth of early childhood music education offerings, the number of summer camp programs for adults and children, and the number and types of performing opportunities for the ensembles. Success was measured by the number of new courses created (4), the number of students enrolled in these courses (39), and retention from one semester to the next (90% of children in the ensembles and Tin Whistle Troupe continued.) Musical progression was also evaluated and one student who started in the beginner ensemble was able to progress to the intermediate ensemble by the second term. All students advanced in the Tin Whistle Troupe program. 2: As the only comprehensive Irish music program in the state, the Center for Irish Music is committed to bringing its music and workshops to people who do not have access to our programs, either from geographical distance or mobility issues. The Center for Irish Music plans to expand its involvement in the Farm on Mathias Celtic Fest in Brainerd by bringing a larger performing ensemble and offering more music workshops. It also is bringing music to nursing homes, hospitals and community events across the Twin Cities. The success of outcome two was measured by the number of public performances (20), the number of students participating in these performances (53 age range from 5 to 70+), and the number of audience members reached (estimated at over 250,000 including the large festival performances and TV broadcast audience.)","The Center for Irish Music achieved this outcome by adding two performance ensemble classes in 2013, developing its Tin Whistle Troupe program, and entering into a visiting artist residency with famed accordion player Paddy O'Brien. One new ensemble was a beginner course for children under twelve, and one was an intermediate ensemble for children and youth. Both ensembles are feeder courses for the more advanced youth ensemble. The Tin Whistle Troupe program for 6-9 year-olds, developed by Executive Director Norah Rendell, doubled in size in less than a year. The students progressed from level one to level three. The visiting artist residency with Paddy O'Brien allowed both youth and adult to study and learn tunes over a nine-month period. The residency culminated in a public performance at the Minnesota Irish Music Weekend in June 2013, and a larger public concert in Fall 2013. The tunes learned are also entering into the larger repertoire of the performance ensembles so the public can enjoy these largely unknown tunes. 2: The Center for Irish Music is committed to sharing its music with the community, especially in areas with limited access to Irish music. The outcome was focused on bringing Center for Irish music programming to the Farm on Mathias Celtic Festival in Brainerd, and music to hospitals, nursing homes and community events. This outcome was achieved as the Center for Irish Music participated in the Farm on Mathias Celtic Festival in July 2013, sending one instructor Todd Menton, and several students to perform. The Center also performed at several large community events including: the Rochester Irish Music Festival, the Irish Fair of Minnesota, Art Under Glass, at the Como Zoo Conservancy, 2013 Step Up for Down's Syndrome Walk at Como Park, and Grand Old Day. Center for Irish Music ensembles also performed at four nursing homes/senior housing centers in 2013. A large broadcast audience was reached in two performances by the Advanced Youth Ensemble.

Our First City Singers choir will be able/willing to perform at one additional senior facility in the Bemidji area in 2013. One additional music artist and one additional painting artist will be added to the programs offered to adults with development disorders. We receive comments on a regular basis from the residents of area elderly housing communities, as to how much they enjoy the First City Singers when they come to their respective residences. Many of the residents know many members of the First City Singers and in fact there are five members of the First City Singers are residents of the facilities. Having this sharing of music between seniors who are still living in their own homes with seniors who live in assisted living or nursing homes is vital to the well-being of both groups. 2: Headwaters School of Music and the Arts will plan three additional concert opportunities to persons within a 50-mile radius of Bemidji in the fall of 2012/spring 2013. The evaluation for this second outcome is totally visual and firsthand appreciation that I will share two stories: One adult who has taken piano violin and pottery classes shared with us how much she has enjoyed each opportunity. In fact she shared with me that she has found the art form that she plans to make a part of her life. She loves pottery and has made some beautiful pieces that she has been able to show and sell at a local art fair. This has given her great confidence. Another young woman (age 29) began voice lessons in the summer of 2013. She has been very isolated all of her life. She lives 35 miles outside of Bemidji. She does work at a local day activity center and her worker transports her here to her lessons once per week. This past December she participated in a recital situation. Her whole family came to see her perform. It was so heart-warming and her family is overjoyed that she has this opportunity to bring new vitality into her life and how this becomes interwoven into who she is.","In the spring of 2013, a group of 36 senior adults began a program at Headwaters School called First City Singers. This group is comprised of both men and women ages 62 - 85. This group's focus is to come together to sing for enjoyment and then to share their selection of music at five local elderly housing complexes here in Bemidji. This group comes together on an every week basis for rehearsal purposes and then goes into the community the last two weeks of each month to five different assisted living/nursing home communities. At each of these sing-outs, there is the opportunity for the residents to sing with the group and at the end of the sing-out, the group has coffee and treats with the residents. 2: During 2012 and 2013, the Headwaters School has added two different art programs for people with disabilities. We have begun offering private lessons to adults who are part of the adult DD population here in Bemidji. We have had five different individuals take advantage of private voice, piano, and violin lessons.

As a by-product, the quality of our offerings will be highly rated and the amount of volunteerism and financial backing from the community will be at an appropriate level.If outcomes and goals are clearly defined before the event occurs, we have found that measurements of success can best be made by the appropriate program committee in their debriefing meetings. They use various instruments; surveys, feedback during the event, observations, audience size and age, etc. The amounts of qualitative and quantitative measurements vary depending on the nature of the event. The bottom line is probably the best quantitative measurement and the committee is primarily concerned with qualitative measurements during their debriefing meetings. All minutes of committee meetings go to the Board and they review all outcomes, either at monthly meetings if they have questions, or at the end of the year when they set Board goals for the next year.","The Arts Alliance had to vacate its facility within 30 days due to structural weaknesses in the building.

35947,"Community Arts",2016,4827,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","We hope for concert attendance of 300 to 400 people of various ages and backgrounds and enjoyment of the performance by both audience members and musicians. We also strive for the orchestra members and guest soloists to feel challenged musically and uplifted by both the music and audience participation. We will ask the audience members to provide feedback on a brief survey to measure attendance and to gauge their reaction to the musical selections and performance by orchestra members and soloists. The board members will circulate during intermission and post-concert to gather verbal feedback from both audience and musicians as well.","Our artistic goals were to provide the Mississippi Valley Orchestra, its collaborating artists, and audience members with a satisfying and musically challenging performance opportunity and to give the featured Saint Paul Piano Teachers Association concerto contest winner, Nita Qiu, the valuable experience of performing with a live orchestra; we feel that both goals were not only met, but exceeded. Ms. Qiu was the youngest contest winner that has ever performed with the Mississippi Valley Orchestra at 13 years old, and the music she performed was very challenging both for her and for the orchestra. Mr. Straka’s patient guidance and the musical insight of Maestro Smith and Ms. Qiu's teacher, Dr. Zins, helped both orchestra and soloist to deliver a moving and rewarding performance. Musicians and audience members alike expressed their praise verbally and in the survey responses. 93% of survey respondents said they were very satisfied with the performance, with comments such as “Have heard the orchestra before and enjoyed it tremendously” and “I love their music - sweet, beautiful, nostalgic. Thank you so much.” Other responses were “Wonderful concert!” “Love the Mississippi Valley Orchestra!” and “First rate!” Many of the challenges we encountered throughout this project had to do with the amount of time the orchestra had to rehearse with the soloists and the limitations of the rehearsal and performance venues. There were unforeseen scheduling challenges with the school district that caused the orchestra to alternate between different rehearsal venues each week. Neither location had a piano available, which meant that the first rehearsal the orchestra had with Ms. Qiu was the week of the concert. That is a very limited amount of time for the orchestra and soloist to get to know the music and become comfortable with the nuances of performing in collaboration with one another. The other challenge was that the rehearsal spaces were acoustically opposite of the church in which the orchestra performed. The orchestra could only rehearse so much with vocalist Maria Jette in the rehearsal spaces, because once they started rehearsing in the church everything had to be re-evaluated and adjusted for balance concerns. One survey respondent stated “Could not hear the soprano during much of her performance. Needs more space between her and the orchestra, which is not available in this setting and I lost interest. Pianist was wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed the second half of the program.” Given the opportunity to repeat this project we would try to schedule at least one more rehearsal in the church in order to work through balance and spatial concerns such as those that the respondent noted. We would also look into alternative rehearsal spaces that are more acoustically similar to the church so the orchestra can have more time to adjust to the performance acoustics. Additionally, we would make an effort to have the orchestra rehearse in a space that has a piano so that they and the competition winner can have more time to put the music together. More than 300 people attended the concert, ranging from local community and church members, to devoted patrons from all across the Twin Cities metro area, to friends and family from out of town that drove as much as 3 or 4 hours to attend this concert. The musicians felt a strong sense of pride and achievement in their performance that was reinforced by the positive response of the audience members noted in the evaluation above. The survey results indicated that 48% of our audience ranged from 18 - 65 years of age, and 52% were 65 years or older. Both West St. Paul and Columbia Heights have a rapidly growing population of senior citizens, low-income families, and those with physical disabilities, so these results are not atypical. The central location of First Lutheran church in the community of Columbia Heights presented an opportunity for many patrons to attend who may not otherwise be able to hear an orchestra of the caliber of the Mississippi Valley Orchestra; in fact, 32% of the survey respondents indicated that the location of the concert was one of the reasons that they came. One person wrote in the survey comments “I greatly appreciate being able to experience such a wonderful performance so close to my home in New Brighton.” Another 32% said that they came because it was free of charge, and 11% specifically stated that the ADA-compliant, easy access venue was what attracted them. Survey results also showed that many of our audience members are repeat attendees, which points to the success of our outreach and the strength of the community that we’ve built over the last 40 years. Given the opportunity to repeat this project we would continue marketing towards our current audience members, but we would also strive to reach the younger generations and minority populations to build relationships that will sustain both the community and the Mississippi Valley Orchestra for years to come. We would do this by programming pieces that appeal to a more diverse audience base, such as our local Hispanic, Hmong, and Somali communities. We would also program music with younger children in mind, possibly incorporating props or costumes, dancers, or actors to add a visual aspect to the performance. We would develop our marketing strategy further to increase our social media presence to reach and appeal to the technology generation. We would also reach out to music educators in the local school systems for help in promoting the concert; this would be mutually beneficial, as it would both strengthen the Mississippi Valley Orchestra community and increase audience attendance and expand their students' musical knowledge and experiences. There were 2 soloists, 3 conductors, 14 members of the Minneapolis Brass Ensemble, 53 musicians of the Mississippi Valley Orchestra, and over 300 attendees that were able to share in this unique musical experience. We received 56 surveys back with an overwhelmingly positive response; 16% of respondents said that this was their first Mississippi Valley Orchestra concert experience, while 19% said that they’ve attended more than 10 Mississippi Valley Orchestra concerts.",,4950,"Other, local or private",9777,,"Karen Kahler, Brian Jewell, Megan Dvorak, Stacy Myhre Twite, Ann Delgehausen, Donna Hill, John Hill, Larry Lee, Don Ostlund, Robert Ostlund, Kathleen Spehar, Nancy Wucherpfennig",0.00,"Mississippi Valley Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for Angel Voice, a free concert showcasing the St Paul Piano Teachers Concerto Competition winner and special guest soloist, soprano Marie Jette.

We expect 80 children to attend our classes with their parent or grandparent. We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes by asking the adults in class to fill out a questionnaire regarding their child's development as a result of our classes. Our board of directors will meet after the Winter/Spring Semester to evaluate the adult questionnaire responses and also to evaluate the success of the semester regarding class enrollment numbers and numbers of families using scholarships and sibling discounts.","We learned that our artistic goals were achieved by observing children's behavior in class, hearing parent comments in class, and by reading the questionnaire responses. Parents and grandparents expressed that their children were exhibiting the ability to keep a steady beat. Some of the adults said that their very young children (ages 1 and 2 years) had not developed this skill yet, which is to be expected for children at these ages. Most parents/grandparents communicated that their children were singing much more frequently as a result of music class and some indicated that the singing was more tuneful. We noticed in the Picture Book Music class that most of the children were singing along animatedly to the books that we sang, moved to, and played instruments to. Adults commented that their children loved to move to music and one child stated, ""I just love to sing and dance!"" Another adult indicated that her child danced more rhythmically as a result of music class. Some adults stated that their children's dancing changed with the style of music. Children and adults in the classes heard many different styles of music from many different cultures including: African-American spirituals, classical music, reggae music and folk tunes from several countries. Our goal was to serve approximately 80 registered children with 70 adults attending weekly classes. We actually had 66 children registered with 67 accompanying adults. Our enrollment was up by 24 registered children from the 2015 Winter/Spring Semester enrollment of 44. We estimated that 24 children would receive 1/2 tuition scholarships; 12 children actually used scholarships for the Winter/Spring 2016 semester. We estimated that 12 children would use the sibling discount of 3/4 full tuition. Nine sibling discounts were actually used. Two thirds of the scholarships were used by families enrolling in the shorter 8-week classes, one class with a $15 materials fee and the other class with no materials fee. Our goal in offering these shorter classes with lower fees was to attract families who might not have been able to afford the 16-week classes, even with the help of scholarships; therefore we met the goal of a more diverse community in our classes, although we would've liked the number of families taking our classes with the help of a scholarship to be higher. We are delighted that approximately 25 grandparents attended class with their grandchildren, most of whom attended weekly, and some of whom attended occasionally or as one-time visitors. We made our class accessible by having chairs available in the classroom for grandparents who couldn't or preferred not to sit on the floor. Fourteen out of the 66 children attending were new to our classes and either were referred by friends or learned of our classes from flyers. Sixty-six children registered for classes, which was a significant increase in enrollment from the 42 children registered from the previous year. In a questionnaire, and in comments in class, approximately 80% of parents and grandparents indicated that their children were singing at home frequently as a result of the class experience.",,10900,"Other, local or private",15900,,"Barb Carlson, Kris Bakkum, Nancy Benz, June Anderson, Laurie Mackechnie, Ginny Jacobson",0.00,"Musikgarten of Anoka","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the 2016 Winter/Spring semester of early childhood music classes in the northwestern suburbs for children birth to five-years-old and their families.",2015-12-16,2016-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ginny,Jacobson,"Musikgarten of Anoka","1923 3rd Ave S",Anoka,MN,55303-2422,"(763) 576-6649 ",musikgartenanoka@aol.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Anoka,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-709,"Anna Buchholz: Audience development, artistic, Community Education; Josh LaGrave: Artistic, fundraising, organizational development; Christine Shyne: General management, audience development, youth programming; Scott Swanson: General management, artistic, finance; Mary Beth King: Artistic, organizational development, general management; Hannah Rosholt: Artistic; Joanna Cortright: Education, Community Education, artistic; Peter Carlson: Artistic, general management, volunteerism; Donna Lindsay-Goodwin: General management, fundraising, audience development.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

Audiences frequently ask us to return and we do repeat performances at the same places each year. We maintain a count of singers and audiences at each venue. Our director gives the singers feedback after each performance.","Our goal was to sing at 50+ venues and during the project period. We exceeded that goal by singing at no less than 54 senior sites. In addition, we sang at 6 preschool sites, a slightly different program, but equally well received (""The kids talked about our performance for many weeks afterward."") We performed music from show tunes, swing, rock and roll, old standards, polka, jazz, patriotic and holiday for senior audiences who would often comment, ""This is the best program we've heard here yet!"" It might be forgetfulness on their part, or, as we believe, our songs and the way they are presented touch their hearts and lighten their day. The only down side to our year was a slightly lower than normal turnout of our singers. It seemed the same small group of 20-25 showed up at performances. We have nearly 40 singers. This is always a challenge with busy senior schedules. We continue to challenge them to make the performances fun and rehearsals educational, or as one singer described them, ""a free music lesson!"" At each performance we saw many seniors in wheelchairs, coming to the performance in walkers and some who needed assistance, so YES, we reached the audiences we intended. Although all our singers come mostly from northern European ethnic background, the same cannot be said for our audiences, which are very diverse. Although the audiences are primarily seniors, they come from various ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, some sites are senior condos or cooperatives and others are low income care facilities. Minnesota is becoming more diverse ethnically, and all our sites reflect this diversity. We need to concentrate on making our own chorus more diverse ethnically. That said, we have seniors in our chorus of all levels of health--some seem easily confused and need extra help in organizing music and getting to performances. We have volunteers who drive others and help them with music, making it possible for any senior who wants to sing with us able to join us in our mission. At the Como Dockside performance on June 27, 2016 there were 187 in the audience. We handed out words to a 1919 love song, ""If You Were the only Girl in the World"" and many sang along, much to everyone's surprise.

Each concert involved audience participation through an informal question and answer session. Hands on opportunities were available to audience members after each concert. One of our primary goals was to enrich the musical life of the community. This goal turned out to be the highlight for our ringing members. Seeing the joy on the audiences faces as we rang made these concerts incredibly meaningful and fulfilling to us performers. In turn, audience members spoke to us after the concerts sharing their appreciation for such a high caliber musical concert being held at their facility without the need to travel throughout the metro area. Artistically speaking, music selection played a large role in the success of these concerts. Music Director, Bill Mathis, was able to craft the concert in such a way to highlight the music of the 30’s and 40’s that sparked the interest of the audience. Toes were tapping, voices were singing and humming along as audience members were recalled days gone by. One challenge in preparing for this concert series was teaching our ringers music from an unfamiliar era. This experience more than exceeded our expectations for the concert series and we are looking forward to doing it again with new venue partners. Our intended community for this concert series were the residents of the senior living facilities, their families and staff. Each concert was well attended by a diverse population; with various levels of mobility and accessibility to music concerts and handbells. The music we performed made a connection with the audiences that awakened memories hidden within. One lady was brought in the concert venue and did not speak, but when we performed ‘Blessed Assurance,’ she began to hum along. Many concert attendees had heard handbells before, but few in a concert setting. Two concert venues included audience members that were passionate about handbells and had extensive experience in ringing prior to retiring. Our concert was able to rekindle their love for the instrument. It was a joy for our members to see the enthusiasm in these audience members. We were delighted to see the large audiences at each facility. Our local partners did a great job spreading the word to their residents and encouraging participation in attending the concerts. Many residents also brought along family members that came specifically to enjoy the concert with their loved one. Bells of the Lakes worked with each venue to make sure that residents could easily access the concert site. Staff were very helpful in wheeling down residents and making sure all who were interested could attend. 360 people attended the concert series. Audience members didn’t just enjoy listening to the concerts, they felt a connection to the music. The ability to connect with the audience was the highlight for our members. The concert series was a learning experience for our ringers that gave them a new experience with a new population, many of whom had not visited these venues.",,1250,"Other, local or private",6250,,"Jennifer Cadwell, Bill Mathis, Melissa Burrows, Kathy Woods, Scott Flancher, Krista Riedel",0.00,"Bells of the Lakes, Inc.

Add a few more ethnic food vendors, change the variety of artistic performance groups, and add at least two additional cultural booths to the line-up. Keep participation at 2000 or higher. We will evaluate success on audience count, informal feedback from performers, audience members, volunteers, and staff.","Our artistic goals were to promote awareness and understanding of various cultures through performances, exhibits, and demonstrations. In addition, we strived to engage the community with interactive experiences. The 2016 World Fest featured music and dance from Latin America, Poland, China, Native American, Japan, Mexico, and the United States. The festivities began with a procession of flags led by a Chinese Lion Dance. Foreign exchange students attending local high schools were the flag bearers. Our audience members were clapping and dancing, smiling and singing along with the performers. The artists wore bright colored traditional authentic costumes. The performers were excellent spokespersons for their culture, describing their costumes, culture, and stories behind the dance. After their performers, the artists became participants, sampling food and joining in on the activities while interacting with the crowd. Cultural and informational booths included learning Japanese phrases, writing your name in Chinese, Hmong crafts, Chinese relaxation techniques, authentic Native American Tip, Cilongu Foundation information, health and wellness information, Foreign Exchange Students Program with a flag display, and a selfie station with hats from around the world. In addition, the Sons of Norway of Anoka County handed out samples of lefse and provided an authentic Norwegian Stabbur for participants to view. The Spin Zone was the most popular activity at World Fest. The Spin Zone featured several toys from around the world such as ribbon sticks, crystal sticks, balance board, Chinese yo-yo, hula hoops, juggling items, and spinning plates. Adults and children tried out these games throughout the afternoon. Our Blaine Arts Council volunteered to staff the children’s craft station where participants decorated Asian fans and made a Native American necklace. A new activity this year was a booth from Macaroon. The leaders of the booth were dressed in authentic cultural clothing and had many items related to their culture. The group played drums and danced and encouraged participants to do the same. Overall, World Fest featured 78 performing artists and 5 crafters. Next year, we will be changing the entertainment line up to include cultures not highlighted in previous World Fest events. In addition, we would like to add more cultural vendors and vendors selling ethnic products. The 9th Annual Blaine World Fest in total drew in approximately 1600 people. The comments and feedback in regards to the 2016 event were very positive and numerous people in attendance commented positively on the new additions of food, cultural displays, and the variety of entertainment. Based on the feedback we received we feel that the event was very successful in providing a fun learning environment for people to interact and build relationships. There were numerous comments on how much people enjoyed the variety of entertainment, dance and cultural booths. Many audience members interacted with performers after the event asking questions about the country they were representing, the clothing that they were wearing, and when they might be able to see them perform again. One goal we set each and every year has been to reach diverse crowd, and it has been exciting to see our crowd become more diverse every years. The 2016 event was successful in achieving this goal. People from different cultures came to see entertainment from their country of origin and taste authentic ethnic cuisine. From toddlers to senior citizen age adults, there seems to be something for everyone to enjoy at the Blaine World Fest. The accessibility of this event was a big goal for us and something we have really focused on. We listened to all the requests and ideas we received from vendors, entertainers, and cultural booths, wishing to be involved in this year’s event. We promoted the event to cultural organizations in the City. We once again promoted the World Fest in local schools. We also did a great deal of advertising in the local papers and a highway billboard. Each and every year we have focused very hard on making things as accessible as possible for individuals with disabilities. We had a large number of greeters working this year whom assisted people with disabilities if needing help with access to bathroom facilities. Town Square Park which hosts the event is very accessible with flat outdoor surfaces, easy access points, no stairs to climb, and handicap accessible bathrooms. Blaine World Fest 2016 reached an attendance of 1600. We had 22 cultural and informational booths, more than in any previous years. We promoted composting at this event and reduced waste by two cubic yards. We had 50 volunteers help implement the event – more than in any past year.",,6500,"Other, local or private",10500,,"Shari Kunza, Nate Monahan, Steve Poreda, Mary Jo Truchon, Sursatti Persaud, Pete Yelle, Jun Li, Brian Bohne",0.00,"City of Blaine","Local/Regional Government","Community Arts",,"Funding for the ninth annual Blaine World Fest Celebration, a public event exploring the cultural arts and ethnicities that currently exist in the city.

Due to the relocation to Spring Lake Park for the performances, we hope to have a 10% portion of the audience from that City. Ticket sales will show attendance at each performance. Our ticket processing service, Seatyourself.biz will give us an indication of hometown location. We will also ask for hometown in our audience survey.","We knew that going into this summer’s production there would be a lot of uncertainty with many aspects of the show. The renovation of the Fridley Auditorium would provide challenges and opportunities for our organization. We were able to achieve almost all of our goals for the production. We had a large cast of both new and returning actors to fill the stage. We put on a high quality production that we were quite proud of and provided many opportunities both on and off stage for individuals to participate. We had a diverse and varied group of participants that brought many view points and backgrounds to our production and provided an accessible and welcoming environment for everyone involved. We however did not draw an audience of 1500 people to our show. We knew that doing an unknown show in a new space would be difficult, but we were surprised how important name recognition is in drawing an audience. We were saddened by the lack of regular followers of our organization that did not come to see the show. We hit them often with many different forms of communication, but it was not strong enough to get them into our seats. It was definitely more work to put on the show in a space that was not our own, mainly due to the amount of materials and supplies that we had to transport into and out of the space. But it was worth the work to still be able to put on a show during our summer of construction. We had our most dedicated and consistent social media presence to date due to two new advisory members that focused just on that aspect of promotion, but it is possible that a large percentage of our followers do not pay attention to social media. We need to improve other methods of communication that are effective with those individuals and increase the number of followers that are swayed by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The people that did show up to see the show had a wonderful time and the comment that we kept hearing over and over from them was that they could tell that the cast was having a wonderful experience on stage. They could easily tell that all of the cast members really enjoyed performing the show. We got the idea to have a drawing to give audience members a chance to appear on stage in the show. At intermission we drew two names that we then brought back stage, dressed them in costume and allowed to appear on stage during the first 15 minutes of the second act. We had cast members who had the responsibility of guiding them around the stage and showing how they could participate. They all had a great time doing it. It would not work in every production, but it is something that we will keep in our box of tools to increase opportunities for our audience members. Letting them appear on stage was truly unique. We were very happy with the cast for Lady Pirates. It was a nice mix of new people and returning actors. Minnesota Playlist is by far the best method of bringing the show to the attention of actors in the Twin Cities. The cast had their usual following of supporters that we rely on to bring in audience members. They came in the expected numbers that support a typical actor. We feel that we also were able to cultivate some new audience members from the Spring Lake Park community that was curious to see our show. We participated in Spring Lake Park’s community festival parade for the first time. Walking down the street in pirate costumes and swinging cutlasses drew a lot of attention from the younger parade watchers. We felt very welcomed and supported by the Spring Lake Park community. That was a very successful event that we feel we may want to continue when we return to the Fridley Stage. We utilized a large number of the Spring Lake Park student technicians to run the show. They all had a great time and we feel that we have built some strong bonds that will be valuable for future productions. We had a comical bit in the beginning of the show that called for all the sailors on board to abandon ship when they first see the pirate ship approaching. We obtained a large crash pad and placed it behind the structure of the ship. Everyone had a great time leaping off the second story of the stage set unto the crash pad. The Spring Lake Park students even brought in their friends to be able to leap unto it. We could have sold tickets for that experience alone. Our matinee performance was signed in ASL. It is important to us that we offer that service. We have not always had the deaf community in attendance. It was very rewarding that new audience members discovered our production and were able to take advantage of this service. The interpreters also have a much better experience when they are actually helping individuals enjoy the show. But we really struggled in getting audience members to come and see an unknown production. Those people that did come were all pleasantly surprised that it was such an entertaining show. We feel that we did get a very good cross section of the community. The staff from nearby Mounds View Community Theatre came to see our final performance after their show run was completed. One of them were selected to be a part of the audience experience on stage. They commented on how difficult it was for them to get people to come and see a show that did not have strong name recognition. We had actually gone to see their production before ours opened, going on their pay what you can performance. They had a very small attendance at that show. We feel that we have a good reputation for putting on a professional, high quality show that is entertaining for the audience that comes to see it. We need to figure out how to take advantage of that reputation and get people to come. It is just not enough to say, if you build it they will come. They don’t always come. We were successful in casting a high quality, diverse cast that put on a professional and entertaining show. We brought new talent to our stage even without the pull of a big name show. We were very happy with the final product. We were sad that we only attracted 741 people to our production. We had hoped for an average attendance of 250 people per show. We achieved 60% of that goal.",,19450,"Other, local or private",24450,,"Toni Craft, Tom Larson, Dan Wold, Connie Thompson, Christine Houchins, Debra Johnson, Deb Dahl, Eric Carlson, Tom Peets, Karen Holdgrafer Berry, Kendra Tillberry",0.00,"Fridley Community Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding to present five performances of The Lady Pirates of Captain Bree, a summer musical production featuring a large cast of community members from Anoka County.

A second goal is that 100% of the participating artists will consider the experience to have been rewarding and something they wish to do again in the future. The average attendance will be evaluated by counting the number of tickets collected at each concert. We will solicit post-performance feedback from the participating artists to ascertain their level of satisfaction and willingness to perform with Joya in the future.","We believe that we did achieve our artistic goals. We presented the Anoka audience with a wide range of chamber music performed by some of the region's best musicians. The amount of rehearsal was sufficient to allow the performers to do their best. Post-performance discussions with the artists indicate that all were pleased and would be happy to perform on a Joya concert in the future. What worked particularly well was the balance in the musical selections. The audience and performers were challenged and energized by the more modern selections but also greatly enjoyed the more traditional classical works. We are proud of our dedication to high level artistry and all of the performers were equally dedicated. The ability to retain top notch talent is certainly one of the strengths of our process. Another strength is our planning, particularly regarding rehearsals. Months in advance we gathered all of the performers schedules/conflicts and worked out a rehearsal schedule that worked for all. Our biggest challenges are related more to logistics and publicity. In particular, it is challenging to promote the concerts adequately and a failure to do so could result in a smaller than desired audience. Despite these challenges we did manage to average 250 audience members at each concert which exceeded our goal of 200. We did reach our intended community. Our audience members were mostly from the Anoka area but there were audience members from all over the Twin Cities area. We were also able to serve the artists by presenting them the opportunity to perform chamber music in a visually and acoustically beautiful venue before a most appreciative audience. We did achieve most of our goals regarding diversity. The performer's ranged in age from 30 to 63. The performers were also diverse as regards their background/professional situation: ranging from an independent freelance violist to the Music Director of the Minnesota Orchestra. The concert with Maestro Vänskä and Concertmaster Keefe, likely due to their ""celebrity"" factor, was successful in attracting many audience members that would not otherwise attend a chamber music concert. That same concert was also successful in attracting more students than any previous Joya concert. Attracting more students remains one of our goals and we hope that to find ways to increase the attendance of students/young people at future Joya concerts. We are grateful to the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council and its grant proposal process for highlighting accessibility concerns that we might not have otherwise considered. The writing of the grant put accessibility at the forefront of our minds. This directly led to us allowing audiences members with disabilities to seat early so that they would not be at a disadvantage in selecting a seat and would not have to ""race the crowd."" One (elderly) couple commented too us, ""We just can't travel downtown anymore. If it weren't for Joya, we would not get to hear such wonderful live music."" Other accessibility concerns were accommodated as described in our narrative. The venue, Zion Lutheran Church, provides a highly accessible space including parking, elevators, and wheel chair seating. We continued our tradition of having one of the performers verbally describe each piece. This is done partially to educate the audience but also to allow those who cannot read the program to still know the selections being performed. We would like to find ways to attract more students. We did offer free admission to students and plan to continue to do so in the future. We had a goal of 200 people per concert and averaged 250. 500 people attended the two concerts that were performed by 7 different artists. We received feedback from audience members that included comment such as: Joya performances are the very best concerts one can attend in the Twin Cities, and I don't just mean chamber music concerts""; ""The Joya concerts are a highlight of our lives.""",,5050,"Other, local or private",9250,,"DeeAnn Cameron, Mary Jo Gothmann, Diane Hewitt, Bruce Messer, Michelle Messer",0.00,"JOYA!

Approximately 8,250 adults and children will experience live theatre and theatre education programming. Performances, classes, audiences, volunteers, and performer numbers are tracked. Feedback will be sought from participants and audience members. Recordings of performances and printed materials will be reviewed and Conservatory members will be interviewed.","Our Strategic planning committee, through surveys, audience and participant feedback, and social media comments, has been actively assessing the artistic needs of our community, then analyzing the information and responding with programming that is designed to meet those needs. NorthStar's Board members have used their multiple levels and decades of community involvement to assess the needs of longtime residents, as well as our area's changing demographics to determine which offerings will fill those needs. The overwhelming number of audience, cast, and crew participation we receive each season indicates that we are fulfilling a community need for live theatre. The comment sections of our surveys help to provide the clearest examples of the gratitude of our audience and crew for the types of plays we produce. Here are just a couple survey responses to the production of Steel Magnolias; “I thought the concept of the audience being seated on stage was interesting. It was done very well.” “They did wonderful job. Very professional.” The plays themes of connection and relating to those around you seemed to carry over into real life after the curtain went down, with over 95% of audience members speaking with at least one cast or staff member after each show. Youth Theatre Workshop/NorthStar was able to meet its goal of expanding its shows and classes to reach more targeted demographics. With the production of Steel Magnolias, NorthStar/Youh Theatre Workshop expanded from its 13 year history of operating as, solely, a children's theatre. As part of our Strategic Plan, Steel Magnolias placed NorthStar squarely into the realm of family theatre in the true sense of the word. The cast and crew of this production of Steel Magnolias ranged in age from 14 years old, up to 66 years old. We were also able to meet our goal of hiring an Administrative Assistant, as well as identifying a, highly qualified, volunteer Business Manager. The Community Arts Support grant awarded to North Star Theatre by the Central Minnesota Arts Board has been a game changer for us. It has allowed us to hire an Administrative Assistant who handles many day to day activities that had been distributed between board members and the artistic director. The Administrative Assistant, who began on July 1, 2016, has begun a systematic restructuring of North Star's information systems. In addition to this the Community Arts Support grant has allowed us to identify an experienced Business Manager who, beginning on August 1, 2016, has been overseeing our accounting. The addition of this desperately needed personnel frees the Artistic Director and Board Members to concentrate on the artistic offerings of our organization. A total of four plays were produced by NorthStar during the 2016 season. What follows are descriptions of each play and what made them a successful production for the community. Into the Woods with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; The familiar and much loved fairy tale classics of Into the Woods and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was popular with artist participants and audience members alike. Character development, theatrical makeup techniques, and singing techniques workshops were offered in addition to regular rehearsals to further the theatrical education of the artists in the community who participate in NorthStar productions. Steel Magnolias; was a theater in the round style performance. Since the cast and crew were small, it meant more time to collaborate with the director on the development of the characters and scenes. The play was not just about one director bringing his interpretation of a story to life, but a communal effort of actors, directors, and crew, each with unique insights. This helped to make the production of Steel Magnolias a success. 101 Dalmatians Kids Day Camp; For the first time in our organization's history we were able to add a summer camp for elementary and middle school aged performers. The camp, under the supervision of the Artistic Director, was taught by Emerging Artist's Conservatory members, Lilly Hayworth, Elise Williams, and Leita Strei, who were assisted by Teen Star Members, Elizabeth Insellman, Isaac Branjord, and Trent Ramert. Thirty-five children, ages 4-13, had a wonderful summertime opportunity to spend 10 days immersed in theatre arts, which culminated in a performance for their parents, family members, and friends. Hard Knock Life; This new play was a collaborative artistic effort, not only to perform the play, but in creating it as well. North Star Family Theatre believes that theatre brings communities together. The success of this project relied on everyone involved coming together to create and share an artistic vision and create an original musical production. By taking on this ambitious endeavor, North Star Family Theatre has continued to uphold their mission statement, which seeks to create bold art that astonishes the mind, challenges the heart, and delights the senses. It has come to our notice that in our area we have a larger number of female artists than male artists, who audition for roles. Often times plays do not have enough female roles to satisfy the artistic needs of our community. North Star aimed to change that with both Steel Magnolias and Hard Knock Life, both of which had a large percentage of female roles. During the next year, ISD 728 will be opening brand new theatres in their area high schools. North Star will be well positioned to expand programming into these facilities, which will enable us to bring theatre arts to even more Central Minnesotans. The emerging artists were a part of our productions and workshops. In addition, the 101 Dalmatians Kids Day Camp was a first step in allowing our offerings to serve a more targeted age group.",,105844,"Other, local or private",115844,5316,"Rick Theisen, Jeff Maas, Bill Bade, Russ Branjord, Jason Ramert",0.25,"Youth Theatre Workshop AKA North Star Family Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts Support",,"Youth Theatre Workshop is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing theatre arts and skill-building experiences for and by youth and families.",2015-08-01,2016-07-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Rick,Theisen,"Youth Theatre Workshop AKA NorthStar Family Theatre","17804 Concord Ct","Elk River",MN,55330,"(651) 231-6794 ",sunshineandsnowflakes@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Sherburne, Wright, Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Stearns",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-support-71,"Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser, Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: Minnesota visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, serves on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, has served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, printer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.","Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, has served on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: watercolorist, member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.",,2

By hosting hybrid programs available to Minnesotans across the state, we reduce barriers to participation, reach a diverse array of participants, and support students with diverse learning styles. Virtual programs strengthen our in-person experiences by allowing us to engage students and families before and after the on-water Canoemobile program, leading to deeper engagement and impact. - Providing standards-based educational content through hands-on activities that engage students with Minnesota history and culture. Program content, developed in collaboration with the National Park Service and other partners, is tied to Minnesota state standards to seamlessly integrate into school curriculum. In addition, even virtual sessions include a hands-on kit with materials and tools for active participation and experiential engagement. - Providing training and career pathway opportunities that tie to outdoor careers and Minnesota's outdoor heritage. - Supporting the physical, mental, and social-emotional wellbeing of Minnesota youth, adults, and families through immersive outdoor experiences. Specific project activities teach Minnesota history and culture while building skills in camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking, fire building, species identification, animal adaptations, and orienteering. By providing virtual instruction as well, WI delivers hands-on educational experiences in the outdoors that tie to classroom learning and enhance the distance-learning experience. For many participants, WI provides a foundation that offers the first immersive experience in the outdoors. Our youth programs have been shown to increase student confidence, improve persistence and grit, inspire interest in outdoors-related careers, and cultivate a stewardship ethic. Our programs are designed to break down barriers to access for individuals and communities that are historically underrepresented in outdoor spaces and activities - specifically, individuals who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+, those who experience financial inequity, and individuals with disabilities.

This is a stand alone program but depends on the support and technical advice of local land managers, habitat and acquisition specialists, and support staff. Grant activities include: enhancement, restoration, and protection of forests, wetlands, prairies, and habitat for fish, game, and wildlife. A 10% match from non-state sources is required for all grants. CPL staff develop a Request for Proposal and Program Manual incorporating LSOHC priorities, solicit applications, work with applicants to submit scorable applications, oversee grant selection, prepare/execute grant documents, review expenditure documentation, ensure financial integrity, make payments, monitor grant work, assist recipients with closing out agreements, and prepare required reports. CPL staff complies with the Department of Administration- Office of Grants Management policies. Application process: A Request for Proposal/Program Manual was posted on the CPL website in August 2016. Document contains all grant program information. Applications are submitted on the online grant application system. Applicants use the mapping tool in the application to map project sites. Applications are accepted until September 2016 for round 1 of all grant cycles. Expedited Conservation Project (ECP) applications and applications for less than $25,000 have a shorter application form. The application system accepts ECP applications until funding runs out, but is designed for 5 rounds of applications. Traditional (statewide) applications were accepted once, Metro applications were accepted twice, and ECP applications were accepted one time. Grant Selection Process: CPL Grant Program Staff review applications for completeness. Technical Review Committees, selected by the Commissioner of Natural Resources, evaluate applications based on criteria below. A final score is given to all applications. Committees include representatives from the DNR, BWSR, UMN, USFWS, USFS, counties, and other local government and non-profit organizations. A final ranking committee of Directors of the DNR Divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Ecological Resources/Waters, and Forestry consider the technical review committee, division and regional DNR comments, and recommend projects and funding to the Commissioner. ECP grants are reviewed by CPL staff, using criteria established for each type of project, and make recommendations. Division of Fish and Wildlife leadership make final decisions. CPL Grant Program Staff work with grantees to complete financial reviews, grant agreements, and other paperwork. Work may not begin until grant contract is executed. Applications are evaluated on these criteria: Amount of habitat restored, enhanced, or protected Local Support Degree of collaboration Urgency Multiple benefits Consistency with current conservation science Adjacent to protected lands Full funding of project Budget/cost effectiveness Public access for hunting and fishing Use of native plant materials Applicants' capacity to successfully complete and sustain work Project Reviews and Reporting: Grantees submit annual accomplishment reports on forms provided by CPL staff, based on LSOHC report forms. Reports account for the use of grant and match funds, and outcomes in measures of wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat restored, enhanced, and protected. The report must include an evaluation of these results. A final report is required by all grantees 30 days after project completion. CPL Administration Budget: Grant administration costs total $112,200, include salary/fringe for grants staff, direct and necessary costs, travel, supplies, and expenses. An Internal Service Level Agreement (SLA) is developed with MNIT to update/manage the online grant application system. DNR Land Acquisition Costs: Applicants are required to budget for DNR Land Acquisition costs that are necessary to support the land acquisition process for parcels to be conveyed to the DNR. These costs are billed to awarded grants on a professional services basis. DNR Technical Support: The Division of Fish and Wildlife provides ongoing technical guidance, helping applicants prepare grant proposals and meet requirements for working on state lands. Project development and oversight is provided by area managers and additional guidance is provided for land acquisitions. Grantee Payment: Grantees are paid on reimbursement basis, meaning payment is made to the grantee after work has been performed or materials purchased, but before the vendor is paid by the grantee. Grantees provide proof that work is completed or a purchase made to receive payment. Proof that the vendor was paid must be submitted to CPL staff before additional grant payments are made. Payment advances may be made for acquisitions with a signed purchase agreement. Partial payments are allowed. Funds are built into grants for required Legacy logo signage and forms of acknowledgement/notification including, but not limited to, local news advertisements announcing completion of grantees projects.

Its goals are to protect habitat, improve conservation connectivity, and provide public access for outdoor recreation opportunities. ","Spanning the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin, the St. Croix River is one of the nation’s first federally designated “Wild and Scenic” Rivers and is home to a diverse abundance of native flora and fauna, rivaling any other location within the greater Upper Mississippi River Basin. The landscape of the St. Croix River contains large swaths of unspoiled ecosystems. It is home to rolling barrens and brushlands containing a plethora of wildlife including threatened populations of sharp-tailed grouse and endangered Karner blue butterflies. The pineries of the north thrive, providing forest products that sustain many communities along with seasonal economic boosts from visitors who come for an array of outdoor activities – from hunting and fishing, to hiking, biking and boating. Although the status of the St. Croix as a Wild and Scenic River comes with federal protections, it applies only to a thin ribbon of land adjacent to the Riverway. Beyond the Riverway boundary, more than 75% of the St. Croix’s forestlands remain in private holdings and the threat of development, fragmentation and conversion to agriculture is substantial. Through the “My St. Croix Woods” program, the St. Croix River Association (SCRA) is growing the demand for forest stewardship and protection by increasing collaboration with partners. Building upon years of momentum, we seek to increase permanent protection options to landowners that result in the conservation of well connected, functional forests and rivers that sustain and enhance native species. In partnership with the Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) and The Trust for Public Land (TPL), we seek to protect large intact forest patches that are managed for complexity; sustain riparian forests that are managed for connectivity; and restore lands that are important to the 128 listed Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) that are known to occur within this landscape.TPL will protect approximately 415 acres in fee focusing on lands that have been identified as high priority in statewide and regional plans as immediate opportunities for protection. TPL will convey lands to the DNR except when LGU ownership is appropriate. TPL will also acquire trout stream easements along section of Lawrence Creek and Sand Creek which are high priorities for DNR Fisheries in this watershed. Trout stream easements will be conveyed to MN DNR who will hold them in perpetuity. MLT will acquire approximately 310 acres of conservation easements and develop restoration and habitat management plans for eased acres. Projects within targeted priority areas will be identified through a competitive RFP process and subsequently ranked based on ecological value and cost, prioritizing the best projects and securing them at the lowest cost to the state. MLT will also restore and enhance 50 acres of habitat on existing and new easements. Ecological restoration enhancement management plans will be developed in coordination with landowners and hired subcontractors. MLT will negotiate and close all conservation easements, and serve as project manager for all R/E projects.The St. Croix River Association will provide program administration, and landowner outreach and engagement in priority areas.",,2019-07-01,,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Monica,Zachay,"St. Croix River Association","PO Box 655 ","St. Croix Falls ",WI,54024,"(715) 483-3300",monicaz@scramail.com,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Chisago, Kanabec, Pine, Washington","Northern Forest, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/st-croix-watershed-habitat-protection-and-restoration-phase-i,,,,

Put in another fashion, we restored and enhanced 69.5 square miles with these funds. That's an area 8.3 by 8.3 miles in area. None of this work was targeted at a specific species of wildlife. We used that approach that diverse productive habitats benefit a wide variety of both game and non-game wildlife species as well as any threatened or endangered species. In our restorations, we use very diverse seed mixes. This is obviously beneficial for pollinators. However, all those insects also create a food base for a large number of wildlife species.

These Crews allow the DNR to be very flexible. While they have a list of projects to work on, they can also respond fairly quickly if there's an enhancement opportunity shows up. For instance, a short dry period in a part of the state may allow them to conduct a late summer prescribed fire which was not in any of the original work plans. Roving Crews have begun experimenting with different burn seasons. The DNR will be hosting a workshop later this fall to discuss the science and management behind seasonal burns so that all staff and partners can continue to learn new applications for old tools. This appropriation included a partnership with the USFWS. They were able to bring in 'detailers', federal crews from outside MN to dramatically enhance their capacity and ability to enhance wildlife habitat on WPAs and Refuges. The final acres reported here are reduced from our recent Status Updates. In further conversations with the USFWS, we calculated the number of detailers, number of in-state fire staff, and pro-rated the acres to account for this ratio. We were also able to experiment with goat browsing in the SE to control buckthorn. SNA staff will monitor these sites over the coming years. This may provide a way to reduce chemical use and integrate some new and emerging agricultural practices, goats, into habitat management for the benefit of wildlife and the agricultural economy. The DNR has traditionally focused on game species such as pheasants. However, there is more and more interest in pollinators and biodiversity. Fortunately, just about every study out there shows that management and restoration for pollinators and songbirds often creates the best habitat for game species. Diverse, healthy, productive habitat is good for a wide range of species. These projects can also increase the amount of carbon absorbed and stored by the plants and soils on these sites. As we continue to use these funds, costs for projects will probably increase. In the early years of these funds, we completed a number of simpler or easier projects, the low-hanging fruit. Now we are left with the larger and more challenging projects. In our budget table, we prorated our budget for individual projects by the acres accomplished.

They also provide clean water, outdoor recreation and products, sequester carbon, and support local communities. However, our forests face increasing stress from invasive species, climate change, lack of management, conversion, and fragmentation. If we are to address these stressors, and sustain the health of forest habitats on state lands which DNR is entrusted to steward for Minnesota citizens and the multiple benefits they provide, we must begin now to support management activities that are above and beyond normal timber harvest. For example, timber harvest can create a wildlife opening, however other management such as periodic mowing is needed to maintain it. This request seeks funding to enhance and restore up to 3,250 acres of habitat over three years on WMAs, AMAs, State Forests, and SNAs in the Northern Forest Region. Strategic and targeted work will be accomplished through the added capacity of a roving habitat crew modeled after the successful crews in the remainder of Minnesota. The crew will conduct activities which support healthy, diverse and resilient habitats, allowing the habitats to better withstand stressors, and address the need to complete small or unique projects for which vendors are lacking. Activities may include invasive species control; firebreak development and maintenance, and prescribed burns in fire-dependent forests, brushlands and wetlands which have lacked management; wildlife opening maintenance; tree removal, girdling, brush mowing/shearing, and support of conservation grazing in openland and brushland habitats; tree planting and protection to reforest and restore habitats, add conifer to the landscape, provide thermal cover, diversify forests, and address ash stand management; tree release, such as enhancing oak management for mast production; forest regeneration site prep; seed and acorn collection; restoration site prep; broadcasting and drilling of seed; stream bank stabilization; ditch closure; and dike removal to enhance forest wetlands.

This should in turn increase native plant diversity and increase pollinator habitat.   One area new for this appropriation is conservation grazing, although in this case much of it could be referred to as conservation browsing.  Goats were used in some cases for grazing prairie, especially on steep slopes.  These areas are often dangerous for equipment and the goats reduce reliance on chemicals.  Below is one description from DNR staff of this type of project.   ""At Mound Prairie SNA, west of Hokah, MN, goats have spent multiple seasons grazing two bluff prairies cleared of eastern red cedar trees and invasive brush, such as buckthorn and honeysuckle.  The goats were able to reduce the vigor of the woody vegetation, allowing native grasses and forbs an opportunity to grow.  Using goats reduced the amount of chemical needed to control the invasive woody brush! There is now a sufficient grass component to facilitate prescribed burning.""       A similar project in central Minnesota shows the benefits of cedar removal to prairie plants and wildlife.    ""Starting in 2016 and continuing into 2019 invading trees and brush were removed from about 25 acres of rock outcrop and wet prairie at Cedar Rock SNA in Redwood County.  The work was done in two phases; first large trees (mostly cedar) were cut, treated, piled and burned.  Two years later a follow-up pass was made to control buckthorn which had grown after the removal of the taller trees.  Although formal post-treatment surveys have not been conducted; previously undocumented rare plants are apparent and the area appears to harbor a broad array of both plant and animal species."" One area that gets little attention in habitat work is the ecosystem benefits of that work.  Again, numerous studies have shown that grassland restoration is a very good way to remove carbon from the air, helping to mitigate climate change.  Even prescribed burning, because it stimulates root growth will help remove carbon from the air and store the carbon in the soil.   As always, monitoring continues to be an issue with all these projects, both at the individual site and the larger landscape.  The conservation partners in the state, including DNR, FWS, TNC, and others, continue to work to develop statistically rigorous ways of addressing these questions.   Attached are a series of images from Mound Prairie SNA (word doc) and Cedar Rock SNA (indiv jpgs).  The Mound Prairie images show the impacts of cedar removal in the SE.  The Cedar Rock aerial images show how cedars were only scattered over the site in the 1930s, covered the site before this project, and how these funds help open up a large area to prairie.   For this final report, dollars for each project are pro-rated based on the acre percentage for each project relative to the budget.   ",2014-07-01,2019-10-31,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Greg ",Hoch,"DNR Wildlife","500 Lafayette Rd ","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5230",greg.hoch@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Clay, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue, Grant, Houston, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Le Sueur, Lyon, Mahnomen, Marshall, McLeod, Meeker, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pine, Pope, Red Lake, Redwood, Rice, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Wabasha, Wadena, Washington, Wilkin, Winona, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-grassland-phase-vi,,,,

Native prairie, other grasslands that provides habitat for wildlife, and wetlands are key components of functional prairie landscapes that have the capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions. While these appropriation only added 2,085 acres of grassland acres to the state through restoration, these funds enhanced a much larger area. Put in another fashion, we restored and enhanced 69.5 square miles with these funds. That's an area 8.3 by 8.3 miles in area. None of this work was targeted at a specific species of wildlife. We used that approach that diverse productive habitats benefit a wide variety of both game and non-game wildlife species as well as any threatened or endangered species. In our restorations, we use very diverse seed mixes. This is obviously beneficial for pollinators. However, all those insects also create a food base for a large number of wildlife species. The structural diversity all those plant species create in the habitat allow every species to find an ideal niche in the grass as well as accomodates different life history stages of wildlife.","A total of 44,506 acres were affected: 2,081 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 42,425 in Enhance.",,,3762900,172000,,7.11,DNR,"State Government","We restored 2,081 acres of grassland and enhanced 42,425 acres of grassland for a total of 44,506 acres of wildlife habitat across 329 sites with these funds.","We select projects using a number of criteria and reviews to make sure the DNR was spending these funds in the best and most productive ways. We can summarize our results in the following table. Project Type Acres # Sites Grassland Restoration 2,085 63 Prescribed Fire 36,896 159 Woody removal 4,461 60 interseed / diversity enhancement 500 27 Conservation grazing infrastructure 120 1 Prescribed Browsing-woody control (goats) 299 9 Herbaceous Invasive Control 145 10 Sum 44,506 329 This appropriation involved the Roving Crews. These Crews allow the DNR to be very flexible. While they have a list of projects to work on, they can also respond fairly quickly if there's an enhancement opportunity shows up. For instance, a short dry period in a part of the state may allow them to conduct a late summer prescribed fire which was not in any of the original work plans. Roving Crews have begun experimenting with different burn seasons. Typically, we burn in the spring before the nesting season. However, this can stimulate the warm-season grasses and begin to crowd out forbs, lowering plant diversity. Burning in the late summer, after birds have fledged but with enough time for some late summer regrowth, has shown to increase both plant diversity as well as structural diversity in the habitat. Just as important, it can knock back the dominant grasses such as big bluestem and Indian grass just enough for forbs to express themselves the following year. Although 44,506 acres appears to be a large number, we feel the actual acres benefitted may be much larger. We know nest predation of grassland birds is higher near woody vegetation and some birds just won't nest near woody veg. By removing trees, we are impacting both the footprint of where those trees were but also the surrounding grassland, up to a half mile from the project, where nest success should now be higher. We installed grazing infrastructure on one site and used goats to browse undesirable and invasive woody plants. This will accomplish two goals. FIrst, we will get good habitat work on our public lands. Second, its a way to further develop a working lands approach to land management and incorporate conservation work into the state's agricultural economy. I have personally visited a number of public lands grazing sites in western Minnesota and have always been impressed with what I've seen. Although grazing is a summer activity, I've flushed a number of birds, both pheasants and songbirds, from these areas in the fall. Often the biggest benefit to grazing comes in the first couple years after grazing as the habitat is regrowing. Although there is still much to learn, we have learned a lot in recent years about restoration techniques. We still use several methods for restoring prairie and there's probably no one perfect way of doing it. It's very clear to someone when they are walking through a recent restoration and an older restoration. Even if they can't identify every plant, the diversity people see is striking. The DNR has traditionally focused on game species such as pheasants. However, there is more and more interest in pollinators and biodiversity. Fortunately, just about every study out there shows that management and restoration for pollinators and songbirds often creates the best habitat for game species. Diverse, healthy, productive habitat is good for a wide range of species. These projects can also increase the amount of carbon absorbed and stored by the plants and soils on these sites. As we continue to use these funds, costs for projects will probably increase. In the early years of these funds, we completed a number of simpler or easier projects, the low-hanging fruit. Now we are left with the larger and more challenging projects. While they are good habitat projects, they will probably increase in costs over time. In our budget table, we prorated our budget for individual projects by the acres accomplished. Staff funding was combined into one value.

However, these forests face increasing stress from invasive species, climate change, forest loss, and fragmentation. While forest harvest is an important tool in management of our forests, we can do additional or different enhancements to maximize the diversity and productivity of these habitats for both wildlife and people.

This proposal will enhance and restore grasslands on 5,700 acres parcels that are permanently protected and most open to public hunting using prescribed fire, tree removal, high-diversity seedings, and similar practices.","In many farmland counties less than five percent of the area is in public wildlife lands, often much less. We continue to lose about 200 acres of native prairie per year. While Minnesota does have acres enrolled in CRP as well as state programs such as RIM and CREP, there is still very little grassland left in many counties of the state. As such, we need to make sure the remaining grasslands, especially those open to public recreation are as diverse and productive as possible. These lands provide wildlife habitat as well as pollinator habitat and ecosystem services such as floodwater capture and groundwater recharge. Wildlife and pollinator populations are a fraction of what they were even a decade ago. Water quality, especially nitrate contamination, is a human health and wildlife issue. Restoring and enhancing grasslands are one of the most effective ways to improve all of these issues. Grasslands and embedded wetlands are also very good at sequestering and storing carbon, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change.

This work supports the goals of Minnesota habitat and species plans, but specifically supports the Minnesota Long-Range Duck Recovery Plan, Minnesota Duck Action Plan, and Managing Minnesota's Shallow Lakes Plan for Waterfowl and Wildlife.","Minnesota wetlands and shallow lakes, besides being critical for waterfowl, also provide other desirable functions and values - habitat for a wide range of species, groundwater recharge, water purification, flood water storage, shoreline protection, and economic benefits. An estimated 90% of Minnesota's prairie wetlands have been lost and more than 50% of our statewide wetlands. In the wetlands that remain benefits are often compromised by degraded quality. This programmatic proposal will accomplish wetland habitat work throughout Minnesota and is comprised of two components - (1) Projects and (2) Wetland Management Program. 1. CONSTRUCTION/ENGINEERING/MANAGEMENT PROJECTS - Projects identified on the parcel list were proposed and reviewed by DNR Area and Regional Wildlife supervisors and the Shallow Lakes and Wetland Management Programs . Planned work includes adding and improving wetland infrastructure to bring about habitat enhancement, wetland restorations, and direct wetland management activities. Engineering and construction of infrastructure projects will provide enhancement in the counties of Anoka, Le Seuer, Yellow Medicine, Mille Lacs, and Swift. Work will involve replacement or major renovation of water control structures and dikes that will lead to enhanced wetland habitat. Three wetland restoration projects are planned in Freeborn, Mahnomen, and Cottonwood counties. One project will involve survey and design work to prepare for future construction in Meeker County. Herbicide treatments will continue on approximately 2500 acres of dense stands of monotypic hybrid cattails. Specific parcels will be listed in the Final Report. 2.WETLAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - Numerous plans pertaining to wetlands call for effective management of existing habitat to provide maximum benefits for wildlife. The 2020 Minnesota Duck Action Plan notes the need to expand the Wetland Management Program (WMP) in Minnesota. The WMP assesses wetlands and implements management to improve wetland wildlife habitat. The WMP addresses needed management needed for smaller wetlands that were often overlooked on the landscape including in our Wildlife Management Areas. This proposal will continue funding for two Wetland Management Specialist and allow continued work for three years in the prairie region of Minnesota. Management work includes water level manipulation, removal of undesirable fish and controlling invasive plants, and will be focused in wetland complexes. It is conservatively estimated that each Natural Resource Specialist working in the WMP impacts 600 acres of small wetlands over the life of an appropriation. To improve efficiency and meet mutual goals, projects may be done in cooperation with Duck Unlimited. Parcels may be added, modified, or deleted from the parcel list to accommodate engineering feasibility results, provide resources to new opportunities, or to address the challenges associated with complex shallow lake and wetland projects.

Native prairie, other grasslands that provides habitat for wildlife, and wetlands are key components of functional prairie landscapes that have the capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions. None of this work was targeted at a specific species of wildlife. We used that approach that diverse productive habitats benefit a wide variety of both game and non-game wildlife species as well as any threatened or endangered species. In our restorations, we use very diverse seed mixes. This is obviously beneficial for pollinators. However, all those insects also create a food base for a large number of wildlife species. The structural diversity all those plant species create in the habitat allow every species to find an ideal niche in the grass as well as accommodates different life history stages of wildlife.","A total of 48,341 acres were affected: 1,690 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 46,651 in Enhance.",,,7584000,352400,,14.28,DNR,"State Government","We restored and enhanced 48,341 acres with 521 projects on Wildlife Management Areas, Scientific and Natural Areas, and Native Prairie Bank Easements.","We select projects using a number of criteria and reviews to make sure the DNR were spending these funds in the best and most productive ways.

The language also included two years of funding for the USFWS's Prescribed Fire program. This was our largest grassland request to date and also the appropriation most affected by Covid. We were unable to hire the west-central Roving Crew in a timely fashion due to state hiring freezes. At the same time, the USFWS received IRA funding and returned their second year of funding. While the DNR was able to put most of these dollars to good use, the acre to dollar ratio for fire is usually much higher compared to hiring contractors for tree removal or similar other enhancements. To use up some of the unspent Roving Crew funds, we moved southeast and southwest Roving Crews to this appropriation for one year. While all of this was happening, we were also trying to transition all the Roving Crews to the stand-alone appropriations. Given those issues, we did not reach our anticipated acreage accomplishment. That said, we still managed to enhance 48,431 acres of grassland. Put another way, that's 75.7 square miles of grassland enhancement, or a strip of habitat 0.3 miles wide stretching from Moorhead to St Paul. The Roving Crews allow the DNR to be very flexible. While they have a list of projects to work on, they can also respond fairly quickly if there's an enhancement opportunity shows up. The DNR and partners continue to host field days each summer to learn about management practices such as prescribed fire, conservation grazing, etc. Finally we were also able to continue experimenting with goat browsing in the SE to control buckthorn. SNA staff will monitor these sites over the coming years. This may provide a way to reduce chemical use and integrate some new and emerging agricultural practices, goats, into habitat management for the benefit of wildlife and the agricultural economy. The DNR has traditionally focused on game species. However, there is increasing interest in pollinators and biodiversity. Fortunately, just about every study out there shows that management and restoration for pollinators and songbirds often creates the best habitat for game species. These projects can also increase the amount of carbon absorbed and stored by the plants and soils on these sites.

Being full-time musicians, with several months' worth of live shows cancelled because of the Covid-19 quarantine (so far about 40 shows cancelled), times are very financially difficult for us. We need to be able to pay ourselves so we can keep a roof over our heads, upkeep our instruments and musical equipment, and to keep composing and recording our songs. We would use the money to pay ourselves, to keep creating our music and music videos, and so we can keep sharing our music with as many people from our community as possible, virtually through the internet. The grant money would definitely help sustain our music. Creating music is all that we do. We breathe it and we live it all the time. It's our main focus. We've dedicated our lives completely to the creation of our own original music, trying to complete as much of our best work while we're still alive and able to do so. We believe that you should have confidence that we can execute this project because we have twenty years of experience and musical partnership doing this very thing everyday, and we love doing it. For proof, you can review our extensive track record of completed projects. We'll measure our goals by working on our music everyday, by remaining completely focused on our art, by focusing on quality, by sharing the song and music video we create on every internet medium possible, and by welcoming folks to give us feedback. We'll also ask for feedback from musician friends whose judgment we trust. We'll know if we've been successful by how people react to our new music when we release it.","We addressed the artistic goals proposed in our project by working very hard everyday to write and record a new song and to film a new music video to accompany that song, doing our best to make sure our work is worthy of releasing to the public during these pandemic times. We made the conscious effort to write and release a song that has sweetness to it, because it seems that more sweetness is what the community needs right now. Times are tough, and the toughness could use a little honey. The title of the song we've released is 'Honey in the Shadows'.","Achieved Proposed Outcomes",,,2000,,,,"Jesse F.

Once a contractor has been awarded the contract, PF and agency staff monitored the restoration/enhancement work to ensure it was completed adequately. Pheasants Forever had proposed to enhance 7,800 acres of uplands and restore 45 acres of wetlands. We did fall short of our upland goal by enhancing 7,275 acres, as we gave priority to wetland restoration projects. This, however, caused us to far exceed our goal and restore 952 wetland acres, thus over-achieving our total acre goal by 382 acres. Additionally, due to the value of these wetland restoration projects, PF was able to bring more than $156,000 of federal match, specifically from the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, to this proposal. There were no significant issues that occurred during the proposal period. As with any work of this kind we anticipated there would be challenges due to weather, contractor difficulties, agency staff changes, etc. but by working closely with our partners we were able to be very successful on our delivery of this important wildlife habitat work.

We will accomplish this by working with our partners to follow best practices to conduct wetland restorations, conservation grazing, invasive tree removal, prescribed fire, and diversity seeding in the prairie, forest/prairie transition, and metro regions.","Restoration and enhancement of prairie and wetland habitat remains as one of the core strategies of the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Many native and restored prairies are degraded from lack of disturbance, low diversity and spread of invasive trees. There are wetlands in these landscapes that need be to restored and many previously restored basins that are in need of repair. This proposal aims to build on past investments to improve habitat on WPAs, WMAs, and NWRs so they can reach their full potential for wildlife production. Activities include the following: 1) Wetlands will be restored/enhanced by removing drain tile, constructing/repairing earthen dams and/or water control structures, removing sediment and invasive narrow leaf cattail control. Wetlands targeted for enhancement are vital to providing food, cover, and the space required for breeding waterfowl while being essential to water quality and aquifer recharge. 2) A diverse mixture of native grasses and forbs is ideal for nesting and brood rearing of upland nesting birds and essential for pollinator species. Many WMAs, WPAs, or NWRs were purchased in sub-optimal habitat condition (e.g. monotype of brome grass). We will use a site-specific combination of techniques (e.g. cultivation, tree removal, herbicide, and prescribed fire) to bring back productivity to these public lands. In close collaboration with the land managers, we will seed a diverse mix of native grasses and forbs that are well adapted to site conditions. Mowing will be used as needed to manage annual weed pressure to ensure establishment. 3) Prescribed burning is the primary tool for managing grassland habitat. It increases vigor, sets back invasive woody species, and removes built up residue. 4) Conservation grazing is an important enhancement tool for sites that are difficult to conduct prescribed fires or need to target specific enhancement needs (e.g. cool season grass suppression, tree invasion, etc.). Permanent infrastructure with a lifespan of 30+ years will be installed to conduct conservation grazing plans written to benefit wildlife. 5) Research has shown that invasive trees are detrimental to prairie/grassland wildlife and thus will be removed with this proposal. These trees reduce nesting success and provide perches and dens for predators. These predators are highly effective at predating both nests and nesting birds, especially in fragmented low quality habitat. By creating the best possible habitat on WPAs, NWRs and WMAs, we will strive to help our public land management entities by reducing future investments for management.

The goal of this program is to improve habitat on existing Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), Waterfowl Production Areas (WPAs), and National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) that are open to public hunting. PF does this by working with agency partners to develop restoration and enhancement plans and hiring local, private contractors to complete work. Examples of habitat improvements include restoring wetlands, removing invasive trees, conducting conservation grazing, and seeding grasslands with high-diversity native seed mixes.","Grassland-wetland ecosystems require regular disturbance to preserve their functionality and quality to positively impact fish, wildlife, and the public. Lack of disturbance on native and restored prairies has resulted in degraded habitats characterized by low plant diversity, presence of non-native or invasive species, and the spread of voluntary trees into open prairie. Wetlands embedded in these grasslands require restoration to achieve their fullest functionality, or have structures that need repair. The Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (MPCP) identifies restoration and enhancement as two strategies to combat these issues. In accordance with this plan, Pheasants Forever has created the Enhanced Public Lands - Grasslands program to restore and enhance grassland and wetland habitats on existing WMAs, WPAs, and NWRs (many of which were purchased in sub-optimal conditions) in the prairie, forest/prairie transition, and metro regions. Pheasants Forever will utilize a previously developed Request for Proposals (RFP) and process to evaluate projects submitted by agency partners. Restoration and enhancement activities include the following: 1) Wetland restoration/enhancement: Tools used to accomplish this include removing drain tile, constructing/repairing earthen dams and/or water control structures, removing sediment and invasive narrow leaf cattail control. Wetlands targeted for enhancement are vital to providing food, cover, and the space required for breeding waterfowl while being essential to and landscape resiliency in the face of climate change. 2) Upland Enhancement: We will use a site-specific combination of techniques (e.g. cultivation, tree removal, herbicide, and prescribed fire) to bring back productivity to these public lands. In close collaboration with the land managers, we will seed a diverse mix of native grasses and forbs that are well adapted to site conditions and are ideal for upland nesting bird production and success of pollinator species. Mowing will be used as needed to manage annual weed pressure to ensure establishment. 3) Prescribed burning: This is the primary tool for managing grassland habitat as it is cost effective, increases vigor by removing built up litter, and sets back invasive woody species. 4) Conservation Grazing: This is an important enhancement tool for sites that are difficult to conduct prescribed fires or need to target specific enhancement needs (e.g. cool season grass suppression, tree invasion, etc.). Permanent infrastructure with a lifespan of 30+ years will be installed to conduct conservation grazing plans written to benefit wildlife. 5) Tree Removal: Research has shown that invasive trees are detrimental to prairie/grassland wildlife and thus will be removed with this proposal. These trees reduce nesting success by providing perches for aerial predators, dens for mammalian predators, and increases predator efficiency by creating habitat edges and fragmenting habitat. Predators are highly effective at predating both nests and nesting birds, especially in fragmented low quality habitat.

A primary concern about harvesting forest biomass to generate renewable energy is the long-term impacts these harvests will have on soil nutrients and long-term ecosystem production, such as forest growth, carbon storage, and wildlife habitat. With this appropriation, scientists at the University of Minnesota's Department of Forest Resources are evaluating the ecological impacts of forest biomass harvesting in northern Minnesota. Results from this effort will be used by the energy industry and forestry professionals in both the public and private sector to guide long-term management that maximizes harvesting without negatively impacting forest productivity and ecological integrity. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Minnesota's forests are currently being viewed as potential feedstocks for production of renewable energy. A primary concern about harvesting forest biomass to generate renewable energy is the long-term impacts these harvests will have on soil nutrients and long-term ecosystem productivity, particularly in forests growing on nutrient poor soils. This project was designed to increase our understanding of the ecological impacts of biomass harvesting through establishment of a network of research sites in forests on nutrient poor soils. Treatments representing various levels of biomass removal and live-tree retention were implemented at four large-scale (80 acre) research sites in Becker, Hubbard, and Wadena Counties and were used to evaluate the importance of post-harvest slash and live-tree retention in maintaining the resilience and sustainability of jack pine forests under different biomass harvesting regimes. Treatments included current site-level guidelines for slash retention to allow for evaluations of the effectiveness of this practice at reducing impacts on long-term soil nutrients and forest vegetation. Field measurements from these sites were used to model the long-term effects of repeated biomass removals on ecosystem productivity. Results from this project indicate that there is no difference in post-harvest slash levels between areas in which slash was retained to meet current site-level guidelines and in places in which whole trees were harvested (i.e., no slash deliberately retained). The overall levels of slash retention in these areas were half those found after similar treatments in aspen-dominated forests on nutrient rich sites, highlighting the potential for greater nutrient depletion following biomass harvesting on nutrient poor sites and suggest a need for refinement of site-level guidelines to increase retention levels for nutrient poor soils. Long-term field data and model results indicate that biomass harvests that retain less than 40% of available residues may result in lower soil carbon stocks after several harvest rotations. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< The results of this project have been shared on numerous occasions with resource professionals, policy makers, citizens, and scientists over the past three years in efforts to inform forest conservation decisions regarding biomass harvesting impacts. These dissemination activities have included the development of a fact sheet for LCCMR members that was distributed on the LCCMR tour of Itasca State Park on July 18, 2013. In addition, an overview of the project and results were shared with private forest landowners through a University of Minnesota Extension Webinar to private forest landowners and county, state, and federal natural resource managers on December 9, 2013, as well as through a meeting of the Forest Operations and Planning Section of the Minnesota DNR Division of Forestry on January 8, 2014. Results were also presented at the Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Minneapolis, MN on August 5, 2013.

It is important that they learn the behaviors that will help Minnesota preserve and enhance its natural resources. Yet, communicating and effectively interacting with people across cultures to change behaviors on natural resources, conservation, pollution prevention and stewardship is challenging. Most environmental information is designed for reaching native English readers. Translating and printing information often does not reach the intended audiences, who are often part of an oral culture. This project will develop activities, events, and products to address this growing communication problem. Community outreach through fishing events and educational workshops will be gateways for communicating important environmental information, teaching skills for lifelong outdoor participation and instilling values of stewardship to Southeast Asian immigrant and refugee communities such as the Hmong and Karen. The project goals are to: - Increase participation in year-round fishing opportunities - Provide environmental awareness and education - Increase stewardship of natural resources and water resources in particular - Develop local environmental leadership and capacity in Southeast Asian communities - Increase participation and access to mainstream environmental resources and programs Twenty three day-long trips, including some in winter, will be held to reach 700 Southeast Asian immigrants and refugees across generations over the three years of the project. A full-time multilingual environmental educator will work from inside the communities to recruit participants, conduct and evaluate the trips, and develop fun educational components for the fishing events that address critical environmental concerns. Special outreach on health issues connected with mercury and other contaminants will be targeted to vulnerable women and children. The educator will also develop culturally specific workshops, coordinate special language radio appearances and participate in community events to spread information to thousands more.",,"Work PlanProject failed to comply with reporting requirements and was closed out as incomplete in 2013.

Iny Asian Dance Theater successfully hosted the Folk Arts project – “Preservation of Hmong Dance.” We have successfully reached our Vision of the Preservation project, that is - Bringing the Hmong Traditional Dances to Life: Sharing Hmong cultures and talents to build a better community. EVALUATION METHOD. Our Project is a great success, with more than 123 dancers participating at Hmong Dance training, eight community performances and a final Hmong Dance Drama – “Longing for Qeej,” where 500+ audiences cheered non-stop at Central High School Auditorium, St Paul. After the Central High Performances, we hosted feedback session right away with all dancers, parents and invited audience to join us for evaluation. We have also utilized the social media (blog) to collect feedback from the audience. TARETED GROUP - Hmong Americans. MATCHES INTENDED PARTICIPANTS. We have successfully matched our project participants. Led by the Iny Asian Dance Theater’s Artistic Director, Iny Mai Vang Xiong, our Project has successfully included following activities: a) Weekly FREE Hmong Dance Lessons for 123 youth in different levels; b) Researching the Hmong Dances with a pilot website to publicize the information with photos; b) Hosting a Hmong Dance Symposium at August 16, 2012 at Concordia College to discuss the transformation of Hmong Dances; c) Master Classes with the award-winning Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County Song and Dance Troupe from China, to learn the traditional music and dance from Li and Miao (Hmong) ethnicities in October, 2012, and performed the opening dance for their show at University of Minnesota’s Ted Mann Hall, with the Qeej dance (Traditional Hmong Bamboo music instrument); e) Presenting through eight community performances at local Schools, New Year Celebrations and Festivals (ex. May 20th, 2012 Pan Asian Arts Festival; and f) Presenting a Final Hmong Dance Drama – Longing for Qeej, at December 19, 2012 at Central High School. 2: INTERPRETATION - To truly honor the Hmong traditional dance arts, we have ample opportunities throughout the training and performances for the participants and audience to learn about the cultural origins of Hmong dance. The Hmong Dance Symposium invited three scholars: Guohua Jin (Artistic Director of Canadian Asian Folk Dance Studio); Pei Shen (Executive Director of East Cultural Center); and Kaiwen You (Artistic Director of the China Dance School and Theatre in San Francisco), to present and host discussion with audience with the topic - Hmong Dance Transformation from China to United States. Additionally, we have publicized Dr. Nengher Vang’s paper, “History of Hmong Dance,” in the Program Booklet to enhance community understanding and awareness of Hmong traditional dances. BARRIERS. For many centuries, the Hmong language was firmly an oral type of communication. There was no alphabet system, no written texts, and no cultural activation to need a literacy system. Cultural aspects and learning was passed on to the next generation from memory and oral wisdom. In the early 1950s, a group of French American missionary-linguists developed a method of writing Hmong words that used the same letters as the English language. Within ten years, it became very popular, and remains to this day the most widely used writing system for the Hmong people. Due to the newly developed language, many Hmong dances have neither a systemic way to document the arts, nor any research to valid its authenticity. STRATEGIES OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS. Our project has utilized following strategies: a) Outreaching to Hmong 18 Clan Council for support and cultural relevancy; b) Posting training and performance information at Hmong Village and Hmong Stores; c) Offering free classes.",,17500,"Other, local or private",92500,17412,"Linda Hashimoto van Dooijeweert, Ange Hwang, Kia Moua,Iny Mai Vang Xiong, Mee Xiong",1.5,"Iny Asian Dance Theater AKA Minnesota Sunshine Dance","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Folk and Traditional Arts",,"Iny Asian Dance Theater researches, documents, preserves, and presents Hmong traditional dances, with folk artists Dao Lan and Mai Vang, through dance manuscripts; master classes; video/audio recording; web presentation with educational materials; and per",2012-03-05,2013-03-04,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Mai,Vang,"Iny Asian Dance Theater AKA Minnesota Sunshine Dance","1865 Major Dr","Golden Valley",MN,55422,"(651) 855-8820 ",mainvangss@amamedia.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/folk-and-traditional-arts-17,"Jewell Arcoren: Program director, First Nations Composer Initiative.; Kristina Clark: Director of programs and exhibits, American Swedish Institute.

","In FY25 DNR will complete intensive field monitoring on ~100 timber harvest sites in eleven targeted watersheds in central and northern Minnesota. Aerial image acquisition and landowner contact and efforts to acquire permissions for access are currently underway. Coordination with Minnesota Logger Education Program, Sustainable Forestry Education Cooperative, and agency foresters is also currently underway to deliver trainings and workshops focused on the Minnesota Forest Resources Council Forest Management Guidelines (FMGs). We plan to continue outreach to landowners, managers and loggers about monitoring results and opportunities to improve the implementation of guidelines and reduce water quality risks. We also plan to continue exploring ways in which statewide coverage of the canopy change analysis can feed into assessment of thresholds corresponding to varying levels of risk to water quality (WRAPS) and biodiversity (WHAF). A hydro-geomorphological risk model developed for the entire state will also be released along with appropriate guidance for its use in identifying and mitigating landscape risks through appropriate on-site BMP planning and implementation. The User’s Guide is currently near completion. Four full seasons of data collected using the new data entry system have been fully integrated with data collected since 2009 and will become available this year.   ",,,,,,,,,,,"The Minnesota DNR and the Minnesota Forest Resources Council work with forest landowners, managers and loggers to implement a set of voluntary sustainable forest management guidelines that include water quality best management practices (BMPs) to ensure sustainable habitat, clean water, and productive forest soils, all contributing to healthy watersheds. This project will monitor the implementation of these forest management guidelines and BMPs on forested watersheds in MN. Additionally, this project will identify timber harvest frequency and distribution as well as significant change to forest area including conversion of forests to other land uses, large fires, and blowdown events. An evaluation of the guideline implementation rates, watershed characteristics, and the frequency and distribution of forest change will be used to identify risks to water quality as well as strategies to reduce these risks, with the goal of maintaining high quality forested watersheds in MN. Outreach programs will be developed for forest landowners, managers and loggers throughout the target watersheds aimed at mitigating these risks such as improved implementation of specific BMPs. ","Forested watersheds in MN generally produce an abundance of high quality water. Much of our forested landscape is managed as productive forest land providing timber products as well recreational opportunities and abundant wildlife. Sustainable timber harvesting in combination with application of voluntary water quality BMP's has helped to maintain water quality in Minnesota's managed forest lands. However, risks to water quality in these landscapes still remain, with rates of BMP implementation, harvesting patterns, and watershed characteristics influencing the potential for impacts to occur at any given time or place. Also, recent trends in forestland development and loss in Minnesota has increased the risk of impacts to water quality in forested landscapes.

As part of this project, LSCW partners will provide technical and financial assistance to agricultural landowners in these vulnerable groundwater areas to increase the long term implementation of soil health practices where there are direct benefits to public water supplies. Activities would include agricultural and nonstructural practices, such as conservation cover, conservation crop rotation, cover crop, forage and biomass planting, nutrient management, prescribed grazing, and residue management (no-till/strip till). LSCW partners will work toward implementing agricultural practices on 1,228 acres and nonstructural practices on 2,410 acres within the project area, and reach over 45,891 community members through education and engagement in soil health activities. Partners on this project include, but are not limited to, LSCW Partnership members (Anoka, Chisago, Isanti, Pine, and Washington Counties; Anoka, Chisago, Isanti, and Pine Soil & Water Conservation Districts, Washington Conservation District; Brown's Creek, Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix, Comfort Lake-Forest Lake, South Washington, and Valley Branch Watershed Districts), National Resources Conservation Service, University of Minnesota Extension, Minnesota Department of Agriculture, Minnesota Department of Health, local cities/townships, and local landowners and farmers who own or rent land.

The work plan targets Tier 1-3 waters identified in the CWMP. Funding as follows: Outreach and Engagement were identified as the key to the success of the entire Rum River Watershed Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan (RRWCMP). Specifically, the RRWCMP calls for hiring and maintaining the positions detailed in the outreach plan. The FY25 WBIF work plan continues the progress made with previous WBIF funding by 1) continuing funding to coordinate watershed-wide Type A outreach, raising awareness and behavioral change. Type A outreach will be completed by existing outreach staff from Isanti SWCD. 2) continuing efforts for Type-B outreach, community organizing, and buy-in by continuing to fund the Full-time Watershed Organizer employed by Mille Lacs SWCD. The SWCDs hosting Type A and B outreach will work across the basin with other parties to the Joint Powers Entity to provide outreach services. The project development line item includes outreach Type C (technical outreach). An outreach and education subcommittee will develop a detailed work plan that coordinates outreach and engagement activities based on priorities identified in this annual plan throughout the watershed. Surface Water Restoration and Protection will focus on structural and non-structural projects targeted at all priority waters described in the RRWCMP. Due to the diverse nature of the watershed, members will implement an assorted set of practices, including agricultural structural and non-structural projects, urban/residential projects, and forestry and soil health practices.

As a child I had very few opportunities to see myself reflected and now I can see myself and other BIPOC people reflected in many murals in our communities. Being raised in a rural town with only two other Mexican families I had little representation in media, print, art, educational resources. The Voices of Culture Writing Circles has created spaces for our communities seeing and feeling a sense of belonging. The original project was 2-3 large community circles. As the grant timing shifted my original plan shifted to later in the grant cycle and with that change, I added on 2 additional small circles; to include Interactive Community Coloring Spaces. Four mural/cultural artist were highlighted with a writing circle conversation. Artist were generous with their time and well received by participants. The discussions of dreams/ideas/techniques intrigued writers with deeply moving writing responses. The murals facilitated discussion of connecting to ancestral roots, ceremonies, and culture which were reflected in pubic community murals. The intersections of music, colors, ancestral ceremonial activities brings a deep connection to our communities, The request for continued Voice of Culture Writing Circles with over 6 more requests in schools, women's groups, and youth groups reflects the communities desire to have more opportunities to see their lives reflected in the Community. Multiple community responses were positive and created a deeper sense of art, cultura and respect for our lives within the larger community. Facilitating the stories community members shared, at times for the first time, they continued writing and sharing their writings that often became poems that were shared with the circle participants. Laughter, tears and deep reflection were the light that brought fears to a healing space as at times life direction was strengthened. Multi-generational stories were shared creating bonds of care, and understanding as we see threads that link one to another. Circle participants would often ask, when will we meet again? I have something I want to share."" The request for circles are shared in the circle round back, did you experience a newfound awareness? What was celebratory and/or difficult?

Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Historical Society must administer these funds using established grant mechanisms, with assistance from the advisory committee created under Laws 2009, chapter 172, article 4, section 2, subdivision 4, paragraph (b), item (ii).","Available upon request. grants@mnhs.org","The Madico UV Guard Window Film that was installed filters out 99% of the UV light (in the range of 300 to 385 nanometers) while still allowing visible light into the space. Short Term Expected Measurable Impact: The short term expected impact is that cultural items will immediately be available for display and view by the community members. (Achieved). Short Term Progress Indicator: A short term indicator that we will have been successful will be that we will be able to monitor an increase in the number of individuals coming to these locations to view the cultural items. (Achieved). Intermediate Term Expected Measurable Outcome: An intermediate expected impact will be that community members who do come to view these items (after the UV window film is installed) will be more comfortable in the viewing space due to the temperature controlling benefits of the UV window film. (In Progress). One thing that did happen was that when community members realized we were taking steps to protect the items with UV film several members of the community approached with the offers to display items made/held by members of their family. This was new as the current THPO had not been approached previously with such offers. Intermediate Progress Indicator: Those individuals who come to the space to view cultural items will indicate that they stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer when in these display areas. (Still in-progress as we are still securing funds to treat windows to the outside directly). Long Term Expected Measurable Outcome/Impact: Long term expected impacts will be that these irreplaceable cultural items will be better protected and available for generations to come due to the protection they will receive from the UV window film. In addition, Solar Energy Control indicated to the THPO that the savings from heating and cooling these display areas will be reduced due to the benefits of the UV window film and that within 5-7 years, the window film will have paid for itself with the savings from heating and cooling that will have accumulated. (In-progress as display cases are protected but we are still in the process of securing the funding to treat the windows directly which would lower heating/cooling costs) Long Term Progress Indicator: Long term indicators will be that the items will be better protected, and that any visible fading and damage will have slowed in progression. In addition, we should be able to monitor that costs for heating and cooling have in fact, dropped.

","Ka Joog and AADA propose to measure qualitative and quantitative outcomes for each goal as follows: Goal 1: Somali American youth build their knowledge of traditional Somali art forms and increase their capacity to use Somali arts as a communication tool Outcomes of Goal 1: 20-25 Somali American youth participate in monthly art clubs 100 Somali American youth use Somali art to present their ideas in a public forum 90% or more of youth participants self-report an increase in knowledge of Somali art after participating in workshops To assess whether these activities achieve their intended impact, AADA and Ka Joog will use post-art club surveys distributed to participating students and artists to help us determine how we can continuously improve our approach and instruction quality. Learning from art clubs will culminate in public presentations, implemented quarterly. At the conclusion of each presentation, we will request youth and participating artists to self-assess what they learned, how they have grown, and what support they would like Ka Joog and AADA to offer to deepen their learning and enhance their practical application of their new artistic skills.   Goal 2: Public presentations change community perceptions and increase dialogue within the Somali American community in the Twin Cities and Moorhead. Outcomes of Goal 2: At least 130 individuals attend public presentations (this indicator is the same for Goal 3) 70% of Somali American attendees indicate they have new knowledge or understanding after participating in the presentation To measure these outcomes, Ka Joog and AADA will distribute post-presentation surveys to each attendee and we will collect their feedback when guests exit the venue. After each presentation, our team will also facilitate conversations to allow attendees to share their impressions verbally. We will document this feedback as qualitative information to complement data collected through surveys.   Goal 3: Public presentations change intercommunity perceptions and increase dialogue between the Somali and non-Somali communities in the Twin Cities and Moorhead. Outcomes of Goal 3: At least 130 individuals attend public presentations 30% of public presentation attendees will identify as non-Somali At least 50% of non-Somali attendees report improved intercultural appreciation after participating in a public presentation Like Goal 2, Ka Joog and AADA will use post-presentation surveys to assess the outcomes of our presentations. We will measure positive changes in perceptions of the Somali American community by non-Somali attendees to determine if our program has positively impacted intercultural perceptions.   To further the impacts of goals 2 and 3, Ka Joog and AADA intend to document the public presentations and share them widely through our websites, YouTube channels, and social media platforms.

LARL was formed under joint powers agreements between cities and counties. LARL and branch libraries and Link sites provide free access to library services and program activities for all residents of the region without discrimination. Through cooperation, shared services, and reciprocal agreements, library users have access to a wide range of public library services, programs and resources within the region and statewide. Through system collaboration, communities develop libraries that capitalize on economies of scale providing greater effectiveness, improved quality and access to more resources. Through the State Library Services Division of the Minnesota Department of Education, the regional public library systems each receive part of the $4.25 million Minnesota Regional Library Legacy Grant through a state formula program. Lake Agassiz Regional Library System share through the formula is $279,619 in 2010 and $225,542 in 2011. The funds enable LARL branch libraries and Link sites to connect with authors, playwrights, musicians, story tellers, and other arts activities providing a strong program connect for all Minnesotans with the arts and cultural heritage activities.

In the last decade, Lake George's lake grade according to Met Council's lake water quality report card has dropped from a consistent A grade to a consistent B grade. The Rum River WRAPS task force has preliminarily identified Lake George as a protection concern. The WRAPS will not, however, provide a specific implementation plan to address this lake resource. In effort to halt, and hopefully reverse the trend of declining water quality the LGID intends to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) within the lake and throughout the watershed. Before this can be done, project opportunities and their associated costs and benefits must be ascertained. The purpose of this project is to identify water quality improvement opportunities throughout the watershed to achieve water quality management goals. SWAT, PTM App. or other suitable models will be used to model the watershed and the effect of selected BMPs within it. The model will be calibrated with hydrology and water quality monitoring data to ensure the highest degree of accuracy possible.

We also propose to repair two river bank erosion sites rated as 'Severe' totaling approximately 625 feet on the Rum River which will reduce sediment loading into the river by 285 tons per year and will provide improved in stream fish habitat. ",,"Both of these projects were priorities for the State, County and local cities and both projects were able to be conducted with the State of MN Department of Natural Resources and the Anoka Conservation District as partners.These partnerships provided valuable input on the design and engineering of these projects. The Lake George Dam project was a success as the failing dam was replaced and lake levels stabilized. The scope of the project included removing the old failing dam and reconstructing a new sheet pile dam with boulders and rocks. These rocks and boulders were used to create short tiered pools on the downstream side of the dam to allow for fish passage. Work was conducted during the winter to reduce impacts. The project is a success without any notable issues. The lake level is stable, fish can now pass over the dam and 495 acres of lake habitat and 156 acres of wetland habitat are preserved. The Rum River erosion project required excavation for a more favorable slope, placement of root wads and trees into the bank and restoration. The root wads and trees are collecting sediment from the river and are rebuilding the eroded banks. The project was conducted during the winter to reduce impacts, but high spring flows and velocity caused some damage that had to be repaired. Once the water receded and the river slowed, repairs were made and restoration occurred. There was some plant mortality due to the deer in the area, but plants were replaced and the rest of the vegetation is established. This project is successful because the banking is rebuilding itself and is no longer contributing up to 285 tons of sediment per year in sediment loading and improves thestream and fish habitat in the river. The project also helps to improve spawning habitat, water clarity, water temperatures and dissolved oxygen levels.

I like to see that my students are able to be a team player and work with other performances group. From my experiences as mentor, teacher and executive director I would be able to tracked the outcome of my students by their performance and the reaction of the audiences, I would make sure I speak and give the feedback to all of my students to encourage them to be a leader and a better performers. For the dancers, we will count attendance at practices and collect informal feedback during practice and performances, as well as surveys from the parents and elders whose youth were participating. For audiences, we will count the number of people at each of the events, and collect informal feedback through a web link we can send audience members to in order to fill out a brief survey. We will also collect feedback from followers on Facebook on their experience of our work. We will base our evaluations and outcomes on training 40 students across two dances and fashion shows at Lao Hmong American Coalition event, and hosting the events that will draw between 300-500 attendees between all three events. I also would like to see all the different teams whom are involved in the event have a successful outcome so we can continue working relationships in the future event. I would make sure that I listened to the audiences reaction and feedback and make sure that I communicate with other organizations and share the outcome with them. 3.Minnesota is home to the 3rd largest Lao refugee population in the country and our work as Lao Minnesotan artists has consistently been nationally recognized for the local, regional, national and international impacts it has had on policy and community development. Coming from Lao refugee roots and as a minority woman, I have had to work through educational disparities and limited access to social and economic opportunities like many of my fellow Lao. Many have to address untreated PTSD and depression as refugees, and many had limited education because they could not attend school during the war, and few could pursue higher education upon arriving in the US because they needed to find work first to support multigenerational households of elders, adults, and children. We were not given many opportunities to preserve the arts, but fortunately I was among the best students of my teacher in Vientiane, and continued to practice and refine my skills over the decades to preserve the beauty and spirit of our traditional dances which extend over 600 years to the ancient kingdom of Lan Xang, while also understanding how to make room for younger voices to have a conversation with our arts. At any given point in time, there have been between 3 to 6 Lao traditional dance programs in Minnesota, but my organization has one of the the longest continual record of performance in the community, and many of the traditional dance instructors are now retired.","Lao Culture Dance Fashion MN has been working hard to achieved our goal to train youth for leadership and preserved our lao Culture and heritage, so far everything is on track as we had planed and the goal and outline that we set for our organization. As of to date we had purchased traditional customs dancers outfits and a matching jewelries that will complete the dances outfits which each piece of the outfits had significant and meaning. Further more we had also purchased the customs fashion outfits for fashion show along with the jewelries and accessories that complement the outfits, and we spends on make up and beauty supply for both Dancers and fashion show teams. Created a uniform shirts for classical dance students and fashion show students. We paid to executive director for teaching, mentoring students for new dances and Organized fashion show students for self confidence to be ready for success. Paid classical dances studio, paid for fashion-show new readership, paid for classical dance foods for student and parents, some fuel expenses for on location fashion show training and meeting. also paid for website Videos editing. We had been focusing and spent a lot of time on teaching students by passing on the skills & knowledge of traditional Performing art to a young generations to continue the tradition. We want to make sure that the students that completed the program will be able to teach & passing on & continue the work to keep our tradition & rich Lao heritage and Culture. ; Our endeavor proved to be remarkably successful as we effectively trained our students to excel as leaders in various aspects of life, including within their families and communities. Our primary objective was to equip our students with the necessary tools and opportunities to acquire knowledge, boost their self-confidence, foster teamwork, enhance public speaking abilities, display showmanship, and deliver performances in front of live audiences. Through our dedicated efforts, we succeeded in achieving our goal, witnessing our students seamlessly execute the tasks required to become effective leaders.During the event, our students astounded the audience, parents, and the community, embodying positive role models for others to follow. The celebration of our Lao tradition was a resounding success, leaving the artists, audience members, and communities brimming with pride and joy for being part of such a meaningful occasion.We received an outpouring of admiration and appreciation for the performances, both in person and through my social media posts. The event garnered numerous likes, shares, engagement, and positive comments from our friends and community members. The achieved outcomes aligned with our initial aspirations, leaving us fulfilled with the results.As we engaged with the parents and attendees, their pride in their children's talents was evident, as they expressed admiration for their stellar performances. Many parents were delighted to witness their children's enthusiasm for learning about the rich cultural heritage of Laos and expressed a desire to continue their involvement with our dance team.In conclusion, our efforts culminated in a highly successful event that not only showcased the depth of Lao tradition but also empowered our students to thrive as leaders in their communities and beyond. The overwhelming positive response from the audience and parents is a testament to the impact of our work, and we look forward to further nurturing our students' talents and passion for preserving our cultural heritage.",,,"I borrowed $2,000,00 from Lao Culture Dance organization fund for advanced purchases of necessity materials.",20000,,"Niphone Phommaras: Niphone or Birdyserves as the Executive Director of Lao Culture Dance and Traditional Fashion Show of MN.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2013, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,,,,,DNR,"State Government","PROJECT OVERVIEW More than 7,000 acres of public and private lands needing restoration have been identified within 75 miles of St. Paul. Given the various emerging markets for woody biomass, a unique opportunity has been identified. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will use this appropriation to continue development of an innovative approach to improving lands by harvesting ecologically inappropriate woody vegetation and working with local markets to turn the resulting biomass into marketable products such as mulch, animal bedding, firewood, and wood pellets for energy generation. Funds raised from the sale of these products could then be used to expand this type of model into other areas of Minnesota. In addition to helping stimulate local economies, benefits of this approach also include enhanced biodiversity and effective utilization of woody material traditionally burned or landfilled. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This innovative project helped restore 385 acres of critical habitat and high quality native plant communities by removing ecologically inappropriate woody vegetation (exotic and/or native species) while stimulating local economies through jobs and strategic utilization of the biomass material for bioenergy and other products. This project facilitated habitat restoration efforts that might not have otherwise occurred while making the woody material, traditionally burned or landfilled, available to established and emerging woody biomass markets. Of the $600,000 appropriation, $490,666 was spent on eleven projects. Seven non-DNR public and private landowners received a total of $324,530 granted through a competitive process. Four DNR projects received a total of $166,136. A variety of types of projects (based on restoration goals, species/type of woody biomass material, density, distance, land ownership, utilization opportunity, etc.) were completed. Projects were selected based on critical requirements including ecological value and recovery potential of the project site, current ecologically-based management plan, project-specific harvest plan, post-harvest restoration plan, and demonstrated capacity and long-term commitment to effectively manage the site to achieve and maintain restoration goals. Viable markets were identified prior to project implementation. Utilization of the woody biomass resulted in 291 semi-truck loads or 5,280 tons for bioenergy, 242 semi-truck loads of commercial mulch, 450 cords of pine sawlogs, 6 log loads of cottonwood for pallets, and pine cabin logs. Biomass material was either sold separately from the harvest with revenue collected, or in conjunction with the harvest where contractors valued the material (deducted from the harvest bid) and were responsible for final utilization. Revenues collected ($11,100) and values attributed ($4,000) were reinvested for further purposes of the project. This project demonstrated that there are opportunities to sell or properly utilize ecologically inappropriate woody vegetation removed through habitat restoration activities. The long-term vision for this effort is to achieve an ecologically sound and systematic approach that addresses: current and future issues of habitat restoration and enhancement; renewable energy and climate change; invasive species, and natural resources conservation planning and implementation - all of which are effected, to some degree, by the impacts and opportunities of woody biomass. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The webpage ""Linking Habitat Restoration to Bioenergy and Local Economies"" located at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/habitat_biomass.htmlprovides an overview of the entire project, the project fact sheet, the LCCMR-approved Work Program, and the final report. Project data were compiled and regularly updated for the DNR's Grant Outcomes webpage to provide project descriptions, funding information, indicators, targets and outcomes information. The website is located at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/grants/outcomes/index.html. Project information was shared at public workshops, conferences and meetings through formal presentations, panel discussions, informal conversations and handouts, such as the project fact sheet and other printed materials, targeted for the audience. Project information was also shared with DNR staff through staff meetings, project coordination, formal presentations, and informal discussions. Telephone conversations and meetings were convened with land managers/owners, harvest contractors, and biomass market industry representatives to discuss the project, garner insights for improvements to implementing this project, identify challenges and opportunities to move this effort forward and to facilitate connections between landowners, contractors, and biomass end-users.The key messages were:For land managers/owners conducting habitat restoration projects: explore and implement the option to utilize the biomass material removed versus piling and burning or landfilling;For contractors: provide the combined service of harvest and utilization of the material; andFor end-users: acknowledge habitat restoration projects as a potential significant source of material and to seek this opportunity.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2013-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Barb,Spears,DNR,"1200 Warner Rd","St. Paul",MN,55106,"(651) 259-5849",barb.spears@dnr.state.mn.us,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Benton, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Dodge, Goodhue, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Le Sueur, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Nicollet, Olmsted, Pine, Ramsey, Rice, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/linking-habitat-restoration-bioenergy-and-local-economies,,,,

DU provides wetland engineering services to the Minnesota DNR and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) to survey, design, and install water level control structures to enhance degraded shallow lakes and restore drained wetlands on public land and under easement. Water control structures will be used to conduct temporary water level draw-downs to rejuvenate shallow lake ecology and productivity. DU engineers will survey and design water control structures, and will manage their construction by private sector firms contracted by DU. Shallow lake enhancement and wetland restoration are top priority actions in all major conservation plans for Minnesota. Our work addresses the habitat goals identified in North American Waterfowl Management Plan, Minnesota's Prairie Conservation Plan, and Minnesota's Duck Recovery Plan which calls for the active management of 1,800 shallow lakes and adding 64,000 wetlands to Minnesota's landscape. This work is time-sensitive because complex shallow lake enhancement projects take several years to design and implement, and because wetland restorations are critically needed for breeding waterfowl. Healthy and abundant wetlands are required to sustain breeding and migrating waterfowl. Minnesota has lost approximately 90% of our prairie wetlands along with 99% of native prairie uplands around them. This has had a profound negative impact on breeding ducks and other prairie wetland wildlife here. Shallow lakes and wetlands that remain are often those that were too deep to drain years ago, and they now function as the core of Minnesota's remaining waterfowl habitat complexes. Unfortunately, these remaining wetland basins now often receive the excessive nutrient-laden water runoff from an intensively drained and interconnected landscape through which invasive fish such as carp have improved access. As a result, many of our remaining wetlands and shallow lakes are turbid and degraded due to highly drained watersheds, high and stable water levels in which nutrients collect and carp and other invasive fish proliferate. The result is that aquatic ecology functions stagnate and wetland productivity declines, and wetland basins with few aquatic plants and invertebrates result. This is especially detrimental to diving ducks and other species that rely exclusively on aquatic plant and invertebrate foods within wetlands and shallow lakes to survive. These factors have caused a decline in Minnesota's diverse waterfowl resources, and in Minnesota's rich waterfowling tradition. This funding request will support DU projects that biologists and wetland engineering staff assess for shallow lake and wetland restoration project feasibility, and design and manage construction of water control structures and fish barriers required to improve public water shallow lakes and restore wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region of SW Minnesota.

",,"Minnesota has lost approximately 90% of Prairie wetlands, and many wetlands in other parts of the state, to drainage.  The prairie shallow lakes and wetland that remain are often those that were too deep to drain years ago, and they now function as the core of Minnesota’s remaining waterfowl habitat complexes.  However, these remaining wetlands now receive excessive water and nutrient runoff from a highly interconnected, drained landscape through which invasive fish have easy access.  As a result, most of our remaining wetland and shallow lake basins are turbid and degraded due to high, stable water levels in which nutrients collect, carp and other invasive fish proliferate. Natural water level fluctuations no longer occur, fish winterkill events are rare, and aquatic ecology functions stagnate.  The result is a lack of aquatic plants and invertebrates required to sustain migrating and breeding waterfowl and other wetland-dependent birds, especially those species such as diving ducks that exclusively rely on aquatic plant and invertebrate foods within wetlands and shallow lakes to survive. Nongame wildlife such as shorebirds and wading birds suffer too. As a result, ducks migrating through Minnesota on their way north in spring find sparse aquatic food resources, much to their detriment when they stop to breed further north due to the importance of nutrient reserves required for egg laying.  Those waterfowl that remain here to breed encounter poor brood-rearing habitat, as few shallow lakes and marshes here have high quality wetland habitat with abundant aquatic plants and invertebrate food resources on which young ducks rely.  These factors have contributed to a decline in Minnesota’s diverse waterfowl resources and, unfortunately, a decline in Minnesota’s rich waterfowling traditions. To remedy this situation, this grant helped fund the ongoing delivery of Ducks Unlimited's “Living Lakes Initiative” conservation program to provide bio-engineering services to assist the Minnesota DNR, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS), and private landowner partners to enhance, restore, and protect Minnesota’s shallow lakes and wetlands.  This Phase 4 program funded Ducks Unlimited bio-engineering staff that assessed, designed, and constructed water control structures and fish barriers to improve wetlands on public land.  DU biologists worked closely with Minnesota DNR Shallow Lakes Program biologists to assess wetland conditions and identify possible management solutions, and assisted DNR in garnering private landowner and public stakeholder support for project implementation, including permits and easements.  DU surveyed, designed, and constructed the infrastructure necessary to actively manage public water wetland water levels.  This grant also supported ongoing shallow lake technical assistance from DU staff and consultant biologists and engineers to assess, survey, and design future projects for implementation under future OHF appropriations for this ongoing, programmatic conservation initiative once permits and easements are acquired by DNR and FWS. Finally, this grant also paid for DU costs to administer this grant. Most wetland enhancements and restorations occurred in the Prairie Section and supported the state’s Prairie Conservation Plan, along with a couple projects in the Metro and Transition Sections too.  Water control structures will be used by agency managers to simulate natural temporary drought cycles in shallow lakes and wetlands that rejuvenate the aquatic ecological process that produce abundant aquatic plants and invertebrates for waterfowl and other wetland wildlife.  These structures last for 30 or more years and are generally used by agency staff every 5-7 years to conduct periodic temporary draw-downs that are key to enhancing and maintaining highly productive wetlands.  During draw-downs, mudflat conditions will provide critical habitat for migrating shorebirds, and shallow emergent marshes resulting from draw-downs will benefit many wading bird and tern species too. DU may also survey, design and restore smaller wetlands on public and other protected land near shallow lakes when opportunities to do so arise. Shallow lakes were selected for enhancement by DNR and FWS managers in consultation with DU field biologists, and generally enjoy strong support from the public for improvement.  Minnesota DNR held public meetings to share information on current conditions and management plans for shallow lakes designated for wildlife management purposes.  Every statewide conservation plan recognizes the need for improving and protecting Minnesota’s shallow lakes and associated wetlands for optimal wildlife habitat. The Minnesota DNR’s Duck Recovery Plan is the most specific, calling for the active management of 1,800 shallow lakes and adding 64,000 wetlands to Minnesota’s landscape.  DU’s Living Lakes Initiative supports this plan through a goal of improving 300 Minnesota shallow lakes in 10 years.  Shallow lakes and wetlands are identified as critical habitat for several “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” listed in Minnesota’s “Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild & Rare: An Action Plan for Minnesota Wildlife”, including lesser scaup, northern pintail, and trumpeter swan. Ducks Unlimited’s Living Lakes Initiative directly addresses Minnesota’s Statewide Conservation & Preservation Plan Habitat Recommendations #4 and #5 on pages 78 and 80, respectively, which calls for the restoration and protection of shallow lakes (page 78) and the restoration of land, wetlands, and watersheds (page 80).  Finally, the North American Waterfowl Management Plan’s Prairie Pothole Joint Venture prioritizes the restoration and management of wetlands and shallow lakes through goals and objectives for improved brood-rearing and migration habitat for ducks.  Many shallow lakes and wetlands prioritized for enhancement by DU are located within wetland habitat complexes identified by the US Fish & Wildlife Service’s Strategic Habitat Conservation model and are high priority basins for both FWS and Minnesota DNR wildlife managers.  Shallow lakes and wetlands which undergo temporary water level draw-downs will provide excellent mudflat habitat for shorebirds and excellent shallow water and emergent marsh habitat for non-game wading birds and terns as called for by national and regional shore and wading bird conservation plans, in addition to improving waterfowl habitat.  DU shallow lake and wetland enhancement work is performed in close coordination and collaborative partnership with the Minnesota DNR, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, other government agencies, and private landowners.

We would achieve this outcome by stabilizing stream banks and bluffs on Lower Rice Creek, reducing in-stream erosion and sediment delivery to Locke Lake, and improving in-stream habitat complexity for fish and invertebrates. We propose to construct a variety of stream stabilization practices, each selected to target the specific cause of the instability at individual sites. Eleven bank stabilization practices would be installed over a continuous 5400-foot reach in Lower Rice Creek. Bank stabilization practices would include vegetation restoration, tree and boulder resentment, and rock barbs with live-stakes. Diagnostic and feasibility studies for Locke Lake and Lower Rice Creek have shown that most of the sediment entering the lake is from unstable and eroding streambanks and bluffs along the Lower Rice Creek corridor. Stabilizing the streambanks was found to be the most feasible and cost-effective option for addressing the root cause of the problem. The eroding streambanks have been prioritized based on measured erosion rates, and the feasibility of conceptual designs have been selected to work towards meeting the sediment reduction goal of 80%. The stabilization practices proposed in this grant application are located in the top priority reach and will provide the biggest reduction of any on the reaches considered from restoration/stabilization.

It also links to an interactive web map where the public can see the locations of completed projects. Although we had originally hoped to complete a mini-evaluation of the MeCC Partnership, due to the time involved in mapping and compiling historic project data, there was not time to complete the evaluation. Project Results Use and Dissemination The Metro Conservation Corridors Partnership primarily distributed information through individual partners as projects were completed. Partners publicized accomplishments through press releases and organization newsletters and websites. Additionally, the Partnership now has a public web map where the public can view MeCC projects.

The principal strategies employed by the Program to achieve these goals included: 1) competitive grants to local and regional governments to restore degraded habitats; 2) competitive grants that support the acquisition of or conservation easements on strategically important parcels of terrestrial, wetland, or riparian habitat; 3) incentive grants to local governments to address other conservation needs such as land cover inventories, natural resource based land use decision tools, and ordinance revisions to support conservation efforts; and 4) natural resource based workshops on topics of interest to local government staff and officials. The 2009 appropriation concludes DNR Central region's Metro Greenways Program, which is sun setting after 13 years. This final allotment of $1,175,000 was used to fund a total of 21 projects and to develop and offer six new natural resource-based workshops. Combined, the restoration and protection projects conserved an additional 375 total acres in the 12-county greater metropolitan region, almost meeting Metro Greenways' combined target of 385 acres of lands restored and protected: Five restoration grants totaling $90,000 were awarded to three counties and one city. In combination with other funds, a total of approximately 255 acres of city, county, and regional park lands were restored to native vegetation, primarily prairie and savanna. The newly restored acreage was over two times more than targeted for this result (120 acres). Six protection projects were awarded a total of $650,000. Only three projects totaling $370,000 were initiated and completed (Lindstrom, Grannis, and Niebur), resulting in the protection of just 120 acres of the 325 acre projected target for Metro Greenways. The city of Lindstrom acquired a new 64 acre Allemansratt ""wilderness"" park that will give residents the chance to explore its several clear lakes and deciduous hardwood forest. Two grants to Dakota County added a total of 56 acres under conservation easements to its green infrastructure network being created by the Farmland and Natural Areas Program. Unfortunately, a $200,000 grant to Anoka Conservation District did not materialize and a $10,000 grant awarded to Chanhassen was turned down. These funds were put toward other projects. A Washington County project fell through very late in the biennium, leaving an $80,000 balance for this result category. Metro Greenways' Community Conservation Assistance Program awarded 13 grants to cities, counties and special districts that supported a variety of locally-specific conservation needs: a) to obtain land cover and urban tree canopy (UTC) inventories; b) to develop natural resource-based land use decision models; c) to create interjurisdictional partnerships to protect high quality natural areas; and d) to write new or revise existing ordinances to protect natural resources. In addition to these grants, the Program organized and facilitated two annual events (Rendez-Vous) that brought all DNR Community Assistance grantees (2008 and 2009 appropriations) together for full days of information-sharing and peer-to-peer learning. The DNR also convened the three cities undertaking urban tree canopy (UTC) inventories, along with the University of Minnesota forestry and extension service, U.S. Forestry Service, and Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, to hear about each city's findings and proposed applications of UTC data. This third result area also funded the development and offering of six new natural resource-based workshops in 2010/2011 for local government staff and appointed officials. These workshops were offered in the metro area and were promoted by Government Training Services to its clientele (local government commissioners). Almost 325 local government staff and officials (62% from cities; 14% counties; 10% townships; and14% special districts and others) attended these workshops on shoreland conservation, stormwater management, and the incorporation of natural resources into land use planning and engineering design. The workshops all received excellent evaluations from attendees. Project Results Use and Dissemination Press releases were sent to local newspapers where projects were funded. The DNR convened all of the Community Conservation Assistance (CCA) project managers in November of 2009 and in February 2011 to share the findings of their conservation work. CCA Project Profiles were drafted and posted on the DNR website. Protection and restoration project information is available through the Metro Conservation Corridor partnership map created for public use. The CCA deliverables will be tried and tested as part of the Results Outcomes effort by the State of Minnesota.

First, 80 acres were acquired (36.7 acres pro-rated to this appropriation) and added to the Hastings Sand Coulee SNA. The addition contains native oak savanna and prairie and increases this SNA to 267 acres. Thus, more than half of this largest remaining prairie complex in Dakota County is protected for its 13 resident rare species (including 3 snake and 2 butterfly species) and for public use, including hiking and nature observation. Second, about 70 acres - including public fishing frontage on the Credit River - was acquired (6.2 acres pro-rated to this appropriation) and added to the Savage Fen SNA in Scott County. These sites offer urban residents close-to-home nature-based recreation, including a new archery hunting opportunity on 300 acres at Savage Fen SNA. SNA restoration and enhancement activities were completed on 187 acres at 13 SNAs in 7 counties in the greater metropolitan area. For example, a 55-acre prairie was reconstructed (restored) at Lost Valley Prairie SNA with the help of volunteers and a Sentence-to-Serve crew using seed collected on site by hand and mechanically harvested by the SNA crew. Almost 100 acres was prescribed burned at 5 SNAs. About 34 acres received invasive species control actions, including work by Conservation Corps Minnesota. These activities result in better habitat for the SNAs' rare features and improved quality for users of SNAs.

Eight perpetual conservation easements were completed that collectively protect 765 acres of land and more than 13,000 feet of shoreline. Three easements were purchased, and the remaining five easements were donated. While two of the purchased easements used both 2009 and 2010 ENRTF funding, we are reporting the accomplishments as part of our 2009 report. We will not report these acres in future 2010 reports to avoid double-counting. All eight projects represent unique opportunities to protect high quality natural habitat, riparian areas, and to build upon prior land protection work by the Land Trust at several priority sites. The specific project sites of the conservation easements include: 45 acres, including 1,095 feet of shoreline, along Deer Lake in Anoka County (purchased using both ML 2009 and ML 2010 ENRTF appropriations); 148 acres, including 2,527 feet of shoreline, along Elk River in Sherburne County (donated); 44 acres, including 3,065 feet of shoreline, on Kingswood Pond in Hennepin County (purchased using both ML 2009 and ML 2010 ENRTF appropriations); 157 acres near Hardwood Creek in Washington County (donated); 5 acres in Scandia in Washington County (donated); 126 acres near the headwaters of Valley Creek in Washington County (donated); 39 acres adjacent to Wild River State Park in Chisago County (purchased using ML 2009 ENRTF appropriation only); 201 acres near Baypoint Park in Goodhue County (donated). Additionally, the Land Trust prepared baseline property reports for each easement, detailing the condition of the property for future monitoring and enforcement. To fund this required perpetual obligation, the Land Trust dedicated ENRTF and other funds to its segregated Stewardship and Enforcement Fund for all completed projects. We estimated the anticipated annual expenses of each project and the investment needed to generate annual income sufficient to cover these expenses in perpetuity - all in accordance with our internal policies and procedures as approved by LCCMR. We will report to LCCMR annually on the status of the Stewardship and Enforcement Fund and the easements acquired with funds from this grant. Values are known for only five of the eight easements acquired, and this value totals $854,500, with a known donated value of $413,500. The cost to the State of Minnesota to complete these projects was just over $326 per acre. Cumulatively, across phases I-V of the Metro Corridors program, the Land Trust has protected 3,298 acres of critical habitat and more than 75,000 feet of shoreline, at a cost to the State of $520 per acre. The Minnesota Land Trust's work on this project continues to demonstrate the cost effectiveness of working with conservation easements to protect natural and scenic resources within developed and developing areas, as the cost to the State was well below the cost to purchase land in the Twin Cities region. This grant continued to generate interest among landowners, and therefore, ongoing funding will be important to sustained success. Additionally, our experiences during this phase of the grant continue to indicate that funds to purchase easements, as opposed to obtaining donated easements, will be necessary in the future as work becomes more targeted, selective, and focused on building complexes of protected land. Project Results Use and Dissemination The Minnesota Land Trust disseminated information about the specific land protection projects completed under this grant though our newsletter, email updates, web site, and press releases. The Land Trust also shared information about conservation easements generally and our experience with our partner organizations, other easement holders, local communities, as well as policy makers including members of the LCCMR and L-SOHC.

The parcels listed in this proposal comprise high priorities for DNR and our conservation partners. Although these priorities have been identified on a biologically important basis, it is our intention to also communicate long-term visions for wildlife habitat with local communities to establish a shared vision for conservation outcomes that will positively impact local economic vitality. Current TrendsFluctuations in real estate markets have opened an opportunity to work with these willing sellers in to potentially protect wildlife habitat for a better value than has been seen in the recent past. This can create a mutually beneficial strategy - to protect ecologically important sites while also allowing willing sellers to liquidate marginal land.

WinSLAMM has been employed in urban landscapes to function beyond its design intent by modeling the benefits to receiving water bodies of practices such as iron enhanced sand filters and hydrodynamic separators. Adapted methods are shared among SWCD staff. Efforts are currently underway by metro SWCDs to apply modeling applications such as SWAT to rural landscapes. Although SWAT was not developed to model BMP efficacy, methodologies are rapidly being developed to model practices such as sediment basins, seasonal ponding and tile inlet modifications. The SWA program has had quantifiable impact on water quality improvement efforts. During the first 36 months of funding, this process resulted in 63 analyses that are completed or underway and identified over 4,000 site specific BMPs.

Activities included hand-cutting invasive woody vegetation across the entire project area, foliar treatments for re-sprouting woody stems and herbaceous invasives, broadcasting native seed, and planting native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and sedges. Additional prairie-specific activities included grassland prep (sprays, burn, tilling, and harrowing), native seeding, mowing, spot treatments and a prescribed burn.  Great River Greening (GRG) exceeded its original goals by restoring and enhancing 76 acres total in Anoka and Ramsey Counties (66 acres were proposed). Leverage funds of $131,950 helped GRG restore 32 acres of prairie, enhance another 5 acres prairie and enhance 39 acres forest, as follows:    ·       Martins Meadows - GRG enhanced 39 acres of forest habitat on this City of Andover Open Space site situated  on the Rum River (29 acres were proposed).  Activities included removal of woody invasives (common buckthorn, honeysuckle, amur maple), tree thinning, woody encroachment removal, mowing, seeding and planting.  The improved habitat will benefit Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), including red-shouldered hawk, blanding’s turtle and gopher snake, all of which have documented occurrences just up and down stream of the site. ·       Trout Brook Nature Sanctuary (Trillium Nature Preserve) - This former rail yard on St Paul’s east side was transformed through a major restoration effort into a new naturalized area that reflects its original state.  Over the course of the project, 32 acres were restored to prairie and an additional 5 prairie acres were enhanced through woody invasives removal.  Activities included mowing, herbicide application, tree thinning, tree planting and prairie seeding. The restoration of this site presented unique challenges because removal of contaminated soil required use of heavy equipment, thereby compacting the soils and requiring additional seeding preparation work to establish vegetation. The nature sanctuary is a refuge for wildlife in an otherwise urban complex.  It also offers residents who are otherwise underserved in this part of St Paul access to natural space and wildlife. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) exceeded its goals by closing on two perpetual conservation easements within the St. Croix River corridor in Washington County. In total, 131 acres of high-quality habitat were protected by permanent easement under MBR 4, surpassing the 120-acre goal. MLT leveraged $637,000 in donated value across both easement acquisitions, a 2:1 ratio relative to acquisition funding provided by the OHF grant. The two properties protected under permanent conservation easements are:   ·       Old Mill Stream (Kingston) -- This 44-acre easement protects high-quality wetlands, forest and grasslands along 5,920 feet of Old Mill Stream, a state-designated trout stream in Washington County with a viable population of brook trout. The easement is abutted by William O’Brien State Park on three sides. Approximately 22 acres of the property are characterized as a Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance by the DNR due to the presence of rare species and moderate quality natural communities, which provides key habitat for a variety of Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), including red-shouldered hawk, northern long-eared bat and least weasel.  This property is located within the Audubon Society’s St. Croix Bluffs Important Bird Area (IBA), which functions as a vital migratory corridor. In particular, it is important nesting grounds for great blue heron and bald eagle. ·       St. Croix River (Docksteader Trust) -- This 87-acre easement protects high-quality mesic hardwood forest along the bluffs of the St. Croix River Valley in Washington County.  The protected property is directly adjacent to a scenic easement held by the National Park Service, which is part of a connected corridor of scenic easements extending 11 miles along the St. Croix River north of Stillwater.  The protected property lies within an Important Bird Area (IBA) of global importance identified by the Audubon Society, and provides important habitat for a variety of Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN).   Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) & Trust for Public Land (TPL): MVT and TPL were unable to acquire a large, high-priority property in Hennepin County for the Upgrala Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Unfortunately, negotiations that were moving forward ended when a member of the landowner group (a hunting club) changed their mind about selling. Club rules required two-thirds of shareholders to agree to the sale and did not allow the property to be divided. Consequently, MVT and TPL did not expend funds from this appropriation.   ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Deborah,Loon,"MN Valley Trust (Metro Big Rivers)","3815 East American Boulevard ",Bloomington,MN,55425,"(612) 801-1935",DebLoon@comcast.net,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Washington","Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/metro-big-rivers-phase-4,,,,

FMR restored 8 acres of prairie and enhanced 30 acres prairie, 47 acres of wetland and 237 acres of forest on three sites in Dakota County and one in Washington County, as follows:• Gores Pool Wildlife Management Area (Freitag Tract) -- Gores Pool WMA is a 6,449-ac complex of floodplain forest, marshland and backwater along the Mississippi River and Vermillion River Bottoms in Dakota County. Most of the area is designated as outstanding biodiversity significance and constitutes one of the largest expanses of floodplain native plant communities in southeast Minnesota. It is also one of the top four sites in the state for rare forest birds. The 300 acre Freitag Tract was purchased in 2008 by the DNR in partnership with Dakota County and the City of Hastings. With this Phase 3 grant, FMR continued its activities at the WMA in partnership with the DNR, enhancing 47 acres of wet meadow, 125 acres of forest, and 5 acres of prairie. Methods included cutting and treating invasive woody and herbaceous species, prescribed burning, installing cottonwood livestakes, and planting native shrubs.• Hastings Sand Coulee Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) - This SNA is identified as significant by the Dakota County Farmland and Natural Area Program and the County Biological Survey. In addition to containing an intermittent stream that flows to the Vermillion River, this site contains rare dry prairie and associated oak woodland. Fourteen rare species have been documented at this SNA. FMR’s work with Phase 3 restored 8 acres of prairie, enhanced 23 acres of prairie by removing woody species and conducting prescribed burns and enhanced 51 acres of oak woodland by controlling exotic invasive species and conducting prescribed burns.• Hastings Scientific and Natural Area -- This 69-acre SNA, designated in the 1970s, is situated along the Mississippi – Vermillion River floodplain and blufflands in Hastings, Dakota County. It contains wetland, maple-basswood forest and floodplain forest. FMR developed a Natural Resource Management Plan for this SNA in 2011 in partnership with the DNR. With Phase 3 funds, FMR conducted exotic invasive woody plant control on 35 acres of forest by cutting and stump-treating. These activities improved the habitat for the both rare species and all the plant and animal members of these forest communities.• Camel’s Hump / Gateway North Open Space Area -- This 34-acre site sits on a high ancient river terrace of sandstone and limestone within Cottage Grove (Washington County). The natural communities located on this site include oak forest, bedrock bluff prairie and lowland hardwood forest. Through this Phase 3 grant, FMR prepared a Natural Resource Management Plan, then conduct woody plant removal and a prescribed burn on approximately 2-acres of prairie and exotic plant control on approximately 26 acres of forest by cutting and treating woody plants and prescribed burns. Seed collected from the prairie on-site was used to enhance other areas on-site.Great River Greening (GRG) also exceeded its original grant acres. GRG conducted enhancement activities on 179 acres (141 acres were originally proposed), as follows:• Katherine Abbott Park: 6 acres prairie enhancement, and16 acres forest enhancement. Work included: removal of invasive common and glossy buckthorn, honeysuckle, black locust and Siberian elm; woody encroachment removal from the native prairie; and reed canary grass control in the wet prairie area. The enhancement at Katherine Abbott is continuing with Trust Fund support and City support. This site now hosts remnant prairie, oak savanna, enhanced forest habitat, and enhanced wetland habitats. Acreage and habitat goals were met; with City funds, summer and fall 2017 burns are being developed for the oak woodland communities to control buckthorn and promote the remnant understory. • Fish Creek Open Space: 75 acres of dry-mesic prairie oak savannah were enhanced. Work included woody invasive removal, tree planting, and prairie seeding. Oak savanna was restored using an oak grove design, and the timing of seeding was selected carefully to encourage forb establishment for better pollinator habitat and floristic diversity, as well as a robust prairie grass component. The establishment has included mowing to promote prairie perennials over weedy annuals and biennials, and spot treatment (pulling, spraying) of more problematic non-native invasive species. Restorations involved Greening’s Summer Youth Job Corps (a partnership with Conservation Corps of Minnesota and Iowa, providing hands-on natural resource experience to underserved youth), students and faculty, volunteer citizens, contractors, and Greening staff. Fish Creek now hosts prairie habitat, oak savanna habitat, and enhanced forest habitat. This location in the Mississippi flyway is proving to continue to leverage volunteer services for enhancement and maintenance, and is also a pollinator citizen science project location with Trust Fund support. Acreage goals were met and maintenance program is robust and underway.• Springbrook Nature Center: 82 acres enhanced (66 acres proposed), 70 acres of forest and 12 acres of prairie, through woody invasive removal and treatment and several rounds of prescribed burns. Work was conducted by Greening’s Summer Youth Job Corps (see Fish Creek description), citizen volunteers, contractors, and Greening staff.With this grant, the Trust for Public Land (TPL) acquired 66 acres of a larger 335 acre acquisition of significant habitat in Elk River (Sherburne County) with over a mile of Mississippi River shoreline at the confluence of the Elk River and Mississippi Rivers.

The project sites were William H. Houlton Conservation Area (WHHCA), Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park and Riverside Park. Due to competitive bids, FMR was able to expand its work area to include 10 additional forest acres at Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park. Work at all sites went according to plan and deliverables were either ahead of schedule or on time. At WHHCA, high waters at various times over the last few years made it difficult for contractors to access the floodplain island area and led to higher costs than standard woody removal. Future projects should factor in a higher cost per acre where water levels can affect site access. Great River Greening (GRG) enhanced 217 acres of prairie, oak savanna, forest and riverine habitat at 8 sites. Project sites were Maple View Open Space, Springbrook Nature Center (Phase 2), Carrol's Woods, Lebanon Hills Regional Park (Phase 2), Valley Park Pollinator Corridor, Minnehaha Creek Knollwood Riparian Corridor, Brown's Creek Open Space and Trout Brook - Afton (Phase 2). GRG was able to shift funds from an initial project (the watershed district was able to complete the work with other funds) to further the stream re-meander of 2500 feet of Trout Brook - Afton. Initially funded in Metro Big Rivers 7, work continued under this grant and will be completed under Metro Big Rivers 9. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) protected 199 acres under permanent conservation easement, exceeding its target deliverables by 69 acres.

With hiring a contractor to manage the program, we were able to expand to 1,690 participants at 15 sites; hosted 12 events with performers for participants and their families. First Thursdays Danceteria continues to be very popular and draws large crowds and rave reviews. The sense of community built in a social dance is like no other and many participants comment on the quality of the music and venue and on the opportunity to sample different musical traditions. lnkSlingers: Writers in the Libraries hosted 11 writing workshops. Belle Plaine and Prior Lake also each hosted youth writing workshops as part of this series. Comments from participants mentioned often that the information in the classes was very inspiring, and useful to them. They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs. The Savage Library commissioned mural artist Greg Preslicka to do a mural called ""Taking Flight"" on two walls of the children's area. The artist spent a week in January working on the project and gave three presentations on the mural process, and many more watched and interacted with the artist as he worked on the mural. The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county. The library hired a professional reader to present a 6-week series of hour-long programs at five senior resident facilities. He read selections of short stories by popular Minnesota authors. After the readings, audience members shared their reactions and memories of similar situations in their own lives. The library invited local independent authors and publishers to offer their e-books to the readers of Washington County. Library Local Content was a partnership with the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Authors submitted their works online. The library uploaded the works into its OverDrive e-book lending platform. Readers were encouraged to read and rate the books. With the success of our other writing programs we decided to offer another writer's workshop featuring a young and talented author. This time it was Alice Ozma, author of March 2012 One County One Book selection, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared. When Alice reached out to us saying she would be in the area and would love to come back and do another program with us we jumped at the chance! We decided to host an informal writer's workshop and open it up to both teens and adults. Other memorable youth programs included our dramatic storytelling programs by SteppingStone Theatre where the artists had young toddlers crawling around on the floor acting out The Very Hungry Caterpillar!",2011-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Chirs,Olson,"Metropolitan Library Service Agency","1619 Dayton Ave., Suite 314","St. Paul",MN,55104,"(651) 649-3169",chris@melsa.org,"Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Fund Administration, Grants/Contracts, Preservation, Research","Minnesota Department of Education",,"Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/metropolitan-library-service-agency-legacy-grant-sfy-2012-sfy-2013,,,,

First Thursdays Danceteria continues to be very popular and draws large crowds and rave reviews. The sense of community built in a social dance is like no other and many participants comment on the quality of the music and venue and on the opportunity to sample different musical traditions. lnkSlingers: Writers in the Libraries hosted 11 writing workshops. Belle Plaine and Prior Lake also each hosted youth writing workshops as part of this series. Comments from participants mentioned often that the information in the classes was very inspiring, and useful to them. They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs. The Savage Library commissioned mural artist Greg Preslicka to do a mural called ""Taking Flight"" on two walls of the children's area. The artist spent a week in January working on the project and gave three presentations on the mural process, and many more watched and interacted with the artist as he worked on the mural. The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county. The library hired a professional reader to present a 6-week series of hour-long programs at five senior resident facilities. He read selections of short stories by popular Minnesota authors. After the readings, audience members shared their reactions and memories of similar situations in their own lives. The library invited local independent authors and publishers to offer their e-books to the readers of Washington County. Library Local Content was a partnership with the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Authors submitted their works online. The library uploaded the works into its OverDrive e-book lending platform. Readers were encouraged to read and rate the books. With the success of our other writing programs we decided to offer another writer's workshop featuring a young and talented author. This time it was Alice Ozma, author of March 2012 One County One Book selection, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared. When Alice reached out to us saying she would be in the area and would love to come back and do another program with us we jumped at the chance! We decided to host an informal writer's workshop and open it up to both teens and adults. Other memorable youth programs included our dramatic storytelling programs by SteppingStone Theatre where the artists had young toddlers crawling around on the floor acting out The Very Hungry Caterpillar!",2011-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Chirs,Olson,"Metropolitan Library Service Agency","1619 Dayton Ave., Suite 314","St. Paul",MN,55104,"(651) 649-3169",chris@melsa.org,"Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Fund Administration, Grants/Contracts, Preservation, Research","Minnesota Department of Education",,"Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/metropolitan-library-service-agency-legacy-grant-sfy-2012-sfy-2013,,,,

The Children's Pavilion hosted over a dozen local storytellers and artists including Mary Logue, Kurtis Scaletta, and SA Bodeen. 2: By increasing publicity and outreach through libraries and bookstores, the Festival drew in a record number of Minnesotans, with over 6300 attendees. Through a free raffle and surveys, we estimated that attendees represent over 175 zip codes across the state, with over 80% drawn by the main book fair. The average length of stay was over two hours. 90% said the Festival contributed significantly to the cultural vitality of the Twin Cities.

Also, because of the grant, more artists wished to attend, thus increasing the overall participation. The grant did not specifically assist us in reaching other target groups. However, with this grant we were able to secure more traditional artists and allow them to show their work. The amount of artists and participants who live at or below the poverty line increased.

The evaluation methods used were threefold. For the film festival, we analyzed our film festival submission information to note geographic location that submissions originated from, and we also assessed whether we were receiving new submissions. For the ticketing information, we had specific questions completed during the Brown Paper Ticket check out process. And finally, we conducted some festival attendee surveys on site at the event on 8/20/16. 2: The Square Lake Festival successfully curated a sold out event that promoted animation, experimental, short documentary and short narrative films.

The Nature Conservancy may acquire land in fee or through permanent conservation easements. A list of proposed fee title and permanent conservation easements, and a list of proposed restorations and enhancements, must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. All restorations must comply with subdivision 9, paragraph (b). The commissioner of natural resources must agree in writing to each acquisition of interest in land, restoration project, and enhancement project. The accomplishment plan must include an easement stewardship plan.",,"Protect in Fee w/o PILT: 341 acres of wetlands, 1342 acres of prairies; Restore 168 acres of prairies; Enhance 20,282 acres of prairies. ",,,,3653000,,,,"The Nature Conservancy","Non-Profit Business/Entity","This program proposes a 15-year goal to provide protection to the remaining 90,000 acres of native prairie/savanna, a 20-year goal to restore and protect an additional 500,000 acres of diverse grasslands/savannas, and a 10-year goal to increase management capacity to annually manage 300,000 acres of grassland and savannas per year. This proposal takes the first steps to achieve these goals by initiating a comprehensive, coordinated and collaborative prairie conservation initiative. Annual investments by the LSOHC will be required to realize these ambitious outcomes. When completed, the outcomes of this proposal will include: protection of 1000 acres of native prairie and/or savanna; restoration of 250 acres of diverse, local ecotype grassland; enhancement of 8000 acres of grassland/savanna by prescribed fire, invasive species removal, and/or conservation grazing; and development of a new conservation model in 2 parts of the state that will serve as a platform for accelerated conservation across Minnesota. ","The conservation problems facing Minnesota's prairies, prairie potholes, grasslands and savannas are many, and include: a. Continued losses of native and restored grasslands due to economic pressures. b. Degradation of existing public grasslands and wetlands due to encroachment by woody vegetation and other invasive species that reduces their values to wildlife and people. c. Inadequate public access for hunting and fishing in agricultural parts of the state. d. Potential loss of local taxes and local incomes when land is acquired by public entities. e. Programmatic and staff limitations that reduce efficiencies in implementing diverse conservation programs across multiple partners. What is the problem being addressed? The creation of the Outdoor Heritage Fund finally offers the resources needed to provide adequate conservation in Minnesota's prairie, prairie pothole and savanna landscapes. With the Council's support and the efforts of multiple partners, large and productive grassland landscapes can become a reality in Minnesota. How will this directly relate to restoring, protecting or enhancing habitat?When completed, the outcomes of this proposal will include: protection of 1000 acres of native prairie and/or savanna; restoration of 250 acres of diverse, local ecotype grassland; and enhancement of 8000 acres of grassland/savanna by prescribed fire, invasive species removal, and/or conservation grazing. The Conservancy will own the fee lands, coordinate with partners and supervise enhancement on public and Conservancy lands, and implement restoration on degraded lands acquired with OHF funds. Why will this strategy work? There are no new tactics in this proposal; all of these practices are being used by one or more organizations already at work in Minnesota. What is new here is the effort to closely coordinate activities, to bring practices that work in the private sector to the public sector, and to greatly accelerate the use of conservation practices. The conservation community has demonstrated that these protection, restoration and enhancement activities work, but to truly reach the level of conservation that is needed for a comprehensive prairie recovery project, partners must work with a plan, with an open mind for innovation, and with appropriate new tools. We believe this project sets the table for launching the required effort. Finally, by supporting local opportunities to develop grass-based businesses (grazing, biofuels, etc.) we believe there will be reduced incentives for conversion of grasslands on unprotected private lands (i.e., grasslands will be perceived as having economic value). Described the nature and extent of any partnerships in this project, stakeholder and public participation processes associated with the project and any anticipated support or opposition to the project?A ""Prairie Recovery Project Partnership"" will be formed to include representative of prairie conservation organizations, including: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), MN Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Pheasants Forever (PF), MN Prairie Chicken Society (MPCS) and The Nature Conservancy. This group will identify 2 pilot focus areas and establish other guidelines for project implementation. Local workgroups will then be established to provide on-the-ground planning and coordination of conservation activities. Additional groups that will be contacted for input or representation will include: Ducks Unlimited, MN Waterfowl Association, MN Deer Hunters Association, Land Stewardship Project, MN Cattleman's Association, local livestock groups, MN Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and MN Farmer's Union. In addition to the above the Conservancy proposes the following: a. At least semi-annually, at meetings of the Prairie Recovery Project Partnership, the status of funding and leverage will be discussed in detail among all project partners. b. At the beginning of the project, a marketing plan will be developed that will identify key audiences (e.g., landowners, local units of government, elected officials) and needed information. This will include elements like project fact sheets, media outreach and annual reports. The Conservancy will provide the technical and financial resources needed for this effort. c. Members of the Partnership will be requested to provide informational materials on their websites and in their organizational publications. For land acquisitions, indicate local government support and approval. No specific tracts have yet been identified, so there has been no contact to date with local governments.

This phase resulted in a total of 1,425 acres protected, 22,298 acres enhanced, and 110 acres restored. When combined with phases 1 and 2 of the Prairie Recovery Program we have cumulatively protected 4,070 acres, enhanced 58,134 acres and restored 314 acres using OHF funds. We will continue to implement subsequent phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan.",,"1. Scope of work: With the requested funding, and with other funds leveraged by this money and brought by other partners, the following actions and outcomes were acheived.“Phase 3” built upon the success of the MN Prairie Recovery Project Phase 1 and 2 by continuing and expanding enhancement work in 4 focal areas and protection in 5 areas. Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments.1,425 acres of existing and restorable grassland, prairie pothole complex, and savanna was permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as identified in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan 2010. Lands will be held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to the grant with the MN DNR. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been, and will continue to be, implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), once again primarily through interactions through Local Technical Teams.A separate and discrete internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs.  Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, native seed harvest, and/or cropping) are held in this account and used to pay for property taxes and ongoing management costs.110 acres of cropland were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Preference was given to local producers and contractors for provision of seed and establishment of prairies to promote creation of local conservation-oriented businesses.22,298 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (“protected conservation lands”) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire (61 projects totalling 15,016 acres), removal of woody vegetation (60 projects for 1,678 acres), and control of exotic species (83 projects - 5,514 acres). Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC.On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and FWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and other activities related to prairie conservation in the focus areas. Contracts were let to provide a high level of enhancement activities to new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities greatly improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing jobs for CCM and local businesses. Activities included removal of undesirable woody vegetation, identification and treatment of invasive species infestations, removal of abandoned fences and/or other structures, and related restoration/enhancement activities.To ensure goals and outcomes are consistently achieved across all 4 project areas, the project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. Significant marketing and media outreach was conducted by the Conservancy to highlight the goals and accomplishments of the project to local and statewide constituents, as well as elected officials. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/minnesota/policy/minnesota-prairie-recovery-project.xmlTemporary seasonal crews were employed by the Conservancy to provide additional capacity for public land management during critical periods like spring burn season. These crews helped create flexibility for enhancement projects and maximized the ability of specialized skilled personnel like burn bosses to increase the number of acres annually enhanced.2. How priorities were set: Prioritization and prioritization criteria vary with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with MN County Biological Survey prairie “focus areas” and TNC priority areas. Each of the 4 project locations directly correlate to core areas identified in the 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Because this project is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by respective coordinating groups. criteria for each of these tactics include:a. Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding. A more robust listing of selection criteria can be provided upon request.b. Restoration: feasibility/likelihood of success, location, cost, availability of seed, and availability of restoration technical assistance, proximity to other habitats, and their ability to buffer or increase the conservation value of other protected lands.c. Enhancement: urgency/time since last enhancement, feasibility of success, accessibility, availability of enhancement technical assistance, cost, proximity to other habitats and partnership benefits.3. Urgency and opportunity of this proposal: Only about 1% of Minnesota’s original native prairie still remains (about 235,000 acres of an original 1.8 million), and the remnants are still being destroyed and degraded. Less than half of those 235,000 acres are currently protected from conversion, and management capacity is unable to address needs on protected lands. Additionally, more than 90% of the original prairie pothole wetlands in the western part of the state have also been lost. These losses threaten the viability of Minnesota’s prairie/wetland wildlife and recreational opportunities that depend upon them. Further, huge strides that have been made in supplementing habitat with the Conservation Reserve Program are in imminent danger of being lost as contracts expire. Conservationists have a narrow window of opportunity to protect remaining native grasslands, wetlands and other habitats, restore and protect supplemental grasslands and wetlands, and accelerate enhancement efforts to ensure these habitats are providing optimal value to animals and people. This proposal accelerated an initiative begun in 2010.4. Stakeholder involvement and/or opposition: This Phase continues an initiative begun with OHF funding in 2010. We have worked very closely with conservation interests in developing and maintaining this initiative and will continue close collaboration among partners. Via past and ongoing projects, we are also coordinating with other stakeholders (e.g., cattlemen’s associations, Land Stewardship Project, county boards), and will continue to seek opportunities to expand that coordination. Points of opposition that have risen to date include: perceived loss of tax revenues, philosophical opposition to public land ownership, and lack of understanding of processes (i.e. prescribed fire) necessary for long-term prairie system health. To address these concerns we have been actively engaged with county boards and other local units of government, local agricultural producers and groups, and local communities. We anticipate continuing to build these relationships in each of the four project areas.PlanningThis project implements strategies identified in at least 6 plans, as identified below.1. The 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan (Plan) identifies three distinct strategies and opportunities for targeting protection, restoration, and enhancement of Minnesota’s prairie and grassland systems. The plan recommends work in “Core Areas” defined as large landscapes that retain some features of functioning prairie systems. Using MN County Biological Survey data and USFWS Habitat Assessment, Populations and Evaluation Team (HAPET)2. MN Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan. The strategic framework of this plan has 5 elements in its “Habitat” section: integrated planning, critical land protection, land and water restoration and protection, (identification of) sustainable practices, and (provision of) economic incentives for sustainable practices. Further, while the plan does not go into great detail with respect to prairie conservation, it clearly states that “protection of priority land habitats” is a vital practice, and prairies clearly fall here.  The Plan identifies 36 distinct prairie core areas across the western third of the state. Collectively these core landscapes contain 71% of the state’s remaining native prairie. All 4 of the project focus areas directly correlate with one or more of these core areas.3. Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild and Rare. The primary objective identified in the MN DNR’s plan is to “stabilize and increase populations of “species in greatest conservation need (SGCN)”. In the prairie regions of Minnesota, strategies to achieve this goal include:a. Support incentives that avoid conversion of grasslands into row crops where SGCN occur.b. Use mowing, cutting woody vegetation, prescribed fire, or careful use of herbicides to prevent the invasion of grasslands by trees and shrubs.c. Lengthen the cutting rotations for hay; avoid early-season mowing.d. Use light to moderate, rotational grazing programs to benefit SGCNe. Prevent fragmentation of grassland habitat.f. Avoid soil compaction in areas occupied by mammal SGCN.g. Increase native plant species components.h. Control spread of invasive species to adjacent native-dominated sites.This project proposes to address all but item “f” above.4. The Nature Conservancy’s Northern Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregional Plan (1998). This plan identifies key conservation targets, geographic emphasis areas, threats to native plant and animal communities, and key strategies to mitigate these threats. The proposal is a solid step in the implementation of this plan. Also, as a step-down from the NTP Ecoregion Plan, the Chapter has completed local level planning (Conservation Action Planning) for smaller geographic units that correspond with the focus areas. Goals within these focus areas are very explicit in identifying conservation targets and actions and are consistent with the activities contained in this proposal.5. DNR’s Pheasant Plan. This proposal is in full support of the Pheasant Plan goal to add 1.5 million acres of undisturbed grassland to the state by 2025.6. DNR’s Waterfowl Plan. This proposal is in full support of the state Long-range Duck Recovery Plan to add 2 million acres of habitat to the state by 2025. It also utilizes establishment of complexes, as per the plan, to achieve multiple conservation synergies and benefits.This plan helps fulfill multiple priorities specified by the LSOHC “Prairie Section Vision”, including permanent protection of existing prairies and wetlands, restoration of prairie and wetland habitats, building grassland/wetland complexes in blocks sufficient to increase migratory breeding bird success, enhancement of public lands for game species and other species of conservation need, and protection of watersheds of shallow lakes. Specifically, this proposal addresses “Prairie Section Strategies” 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 directly.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Neal,Feeken,"The Nature Conservancy","1101 W.

This Phase resulted in a total of 962 acres protected, 15,554 acres enhanced, and 36 acres restored. When combined with Phase 1 of the Program we have cumulatively protected 2,645 acres, enhanced 35,836 acres and restored 204 acres using OHF funds. We will continue to implement subsequent Phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan.",,"Design and Scope of Work 1. Problems to be addressed: the conservation problems facing Minnesota’s prairies, prairie potholes, grasslands and savannas are many, and include: a.Continued losses of native and restored grasslands due to economic pressures. b.Degradation of existing public grasslands and wetlands due to encroachment by woody vegetation and other invasive species that reduces their values to wildlife and people. c.Inadequate public access for hunting and fishing in agricultural parts of the state. d.Potential loss of local taxes and local incomes when land is acquired by public entities. e.Long-term state obligations for management of public lands and payment-in-lieu-of-taxes creates a burden for state budget. f.Programmatic and staff limitations that reduce efficiencies in implementing diverse conservation programs across multiple partners. 2. Scope of work: with the appropriated funding, and with other funds leveraged by this money and brought by other partners, the following actions and outcomes were realized. •The “Prairie Recovery Project Partnership” was initiated within the Upper MN River Valley and Aggasiz Beach Ridges and continued in the Glacial Lakes and Tallgrass Aspen Parklands landscapes. Two additional prairie biologists were hired and co-located in partner offices to facilitate and oversee enhancement work on publicly owned grasslands. Dedicated protection staff continued to identify priority parcels for permanent protection, conduct outreach with landowners, and bring real estate transactions to fruition. A project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities, and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. •Original goals for the project included 1,200 acres protected, 250 acres restored and 6,000 acres enhanced. We fell short of our overall protection goals with 962 acres permanently protected. The shortfall was due to the fact that a number of quality projects arose in the central part of the start, specifically Pope and Kandiyohi counties, where land prices are considerably higher than other parts of the prairie region. Protected lands are held by The Nature Conservancy and are open to public hunting and fishing. We greatly exceeded our enhancement goals with 15,435 acres of permanently protected grasslands managed. Management techniques on grassland enhancement projects included prescribed fire, conservation grazing and/or haying, removal of woody vegetation, and control of exotic invasive species. This work was accomplished through contracts with private vendors and through use of seasonal crews employed by the Conservancy. Three of the five protection projects will require future restoration and are in various stages of site preparation. •A separate restricted internal fund is established by The Nature Conservancy to hold income generated from OHF funded acquisitions. Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying and/or cropping), earned interest, public contributions and donations are held in this account and are used to pay for property taxes and ongoing management costs. This model was originally devised to test the principle of utilizing extractive practices (ie haying and grazing, native seed production) as a method for offsetting land holding and management costs. Through the project we have found that revenues generated lag behind holding costs, thereby necessitating private contributions on the part of the Conservancy for making property tax payments. And while the model does not function as effectively as we had originally hoped, economic activities do help at least partially offset ownership costs and can serve as valuable tools for implementing needed management. •On-the-ground staff provided by this grant convened and are leading coordination and implementation of local technical teams called for in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan; actively identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and FWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and secured other funding for conservation practices, including through the MN DNR's Working Lands Initiative. •Contracts were let with Conservation Corps of Minnesota and private vendors to conduct enhancement activities on new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities greatly improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing jobs for MCC and local businesses. Activities included removal of undesirable woody vegetation, identification and treatment of invasive species infestations, removal of abandoned fences and/or other structures, and related restoration/enhancement activities. 3. How priorities were set: prioritization and prioritization criteria varied with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with Core and Corridor landscapes as defined through the MN Prairie Conservation Plan and Conservancy priority areas. Because this is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by the respective Local Technical Teams and local agency personnel. Criteria for each of these tactics included: a.Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding. b.Restoration: feasibility/likelihood of success, location, cost, availability of seed, and availability of restoration technical assistance. c.Enhancement: urgency/time since last enhancement, feasibility of success, accessibility, availability of enhancement technical assistance, cost, proximity to other habitats and partnership benefits. 4. Urgency and opportunity of this proposal: about 1% of Minnesota’s original native prairie still remains (about 200,000 acres of an original 1.8 million), and the remnants are still being destroyed and degraded today. Less than half is currently protected from conversion, and management capacity is unable to address needs. Additionally, more than 90% of the original prairie pothole wetlands in the western part of the state have also been lost. These losses threaten the viability of Minnesota’s prairie/wetland wildlife and recreational opportunities that depend upon them. Further, huge strides that have been made in supplementing habitat with the Conservation Reserve Program continue to be in imminent danger of being lost as contracts expire. Conservationists have a narrow window of opportunity to protect remaining native grasslands, wetlands and other habitats, restore and protect supplemental grasslands and wetlands, and accelerate enhancement efforts to ensure these habitats are providing optimal value to animals and people. This phase built upon an initiative begun with our Prairie Recovery Project Phase 1, and expanded efforts into 2 new focus areas. 5. Stakeholder involvement and/or opposition: We have worked very closely with conservation interests in developing this initiative and will continue to collaborate with numerous partners.

The legislation requires the rules to establish new districts within the MRCCA and to develop minimal guidelines and standards for building, bluff protection, and clean water (stormwater, erosion control, etc) for the districts. These standards must include key resources to be protected or enhanced and they must take into account municipal plans and policies, as well as existing ordinances and conditions. The rule will also address public facilities and subdivision requirements.","In the 1970's a series of Executive Orders established the only ""critical area"" in the state of Minnesota. The orders recognized the importance of the corridor, a narrow strip of land on either side of the Mississippi River from Dayton and Ramsey to the confluence with the St. Croix River, as a ""unique and valuable state and regional resource for the benefit of the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the state, region, and nation."" All local governments with jurisdiction in the MRCCA currently have plans and ordinances in place that will need to be updated once the rules are promulgated.",,2009-07-01,2015-06-30,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Jennifer,Shillcox,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources","500 Lafayette Road","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5727",jennifer.shillcox@state.mn.us,"Mapping, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Analysis/Interpretation, Technical Assistance, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/mississippi-river-corridor-critical-area-rulemaking-0,,,,

Our first draft of the manuscript has been completed! The manuscript includes 26 Shero stories, 20 of which are previously published Sheroes and 6 new Sheroes who have never been featured on our platform. All Sheroes have been interviewed and their stories written even our existing Sheroes stories were updated and rewritten as necessary to best describe what work each is currently doing and who she is today. The first draft of the manuscript also includes introductions from our founder Nausheena Hussain and our Executive Director Malika Dahir as well as back matter, such as information about nominating a Shero, information about RISE, and a glossary of terms. Photography and illustration are also in production. Our photographer has been working with each Shero to capture photos of her in her element, with many shoots taking place at Sheroes' workplaces, schools, and community centers across Minnesota. 15 photo sets have been photographed, edited, and approved; 5 are currently being edited; 6 are being scheduled and will be photographed in the coming months. Our illustrator has begun working on the four illustrations that correspond with the four themes of the book. These interior illustrations are each approximately 50% completed, and she is now starting to sketch ideas for the book cover. As we move forward with production, we are preparing for the later evaluation phase of our project. This is the first time RISE has embarked on a project of this scale, and we want to understand its successes and learn from its challenges. We have drafted a survey to assess our measurable outcomes, which our Sheroes will be asked to complete when the final draft of the book is completed. To ensure transparency and equity in our storytelling process, each Shero is involved with editing and final approval of her story. Finally, to get a head start on the publication phase of this project, we were able to secure a few quotes from printers through our publisher, Daybreak Press. ; Because of the support that we received from the Cultural Heritage grant, we were able to complete our manuscript for our Muslim Sheroes of Minnesota book, complete nearly all artistic elements for the book, and begin the editing and publishing process. We learned firsthand that writing and publishing a book is a long and arduous journey, and without this grant, we would not have been able to dedicate the necessary time and resources to the creative process.The manuscript includes 26 Shero stories, 20 of which are previously published Sheroes and 6 new Sheroes who have never been featured on our platform.

Since October, there have been monthly meetings between core participants, including the M's Executive Director, Dr. Kate Beane; Dr. Laura Joseph, Curator of Exhibitions; Nancy Ariza, Associate Curator of Learning and Engagement; Kylie Hoang, Assistant Curator; and Nicole Jansen Delfino, Registrar. These meetings helped the M to be strategic and thoughtful about who is invited to join the Native Arts Partnership Council. Dr. Kate Beane, a leader in the field, identified that this has been a sensitive time with Native Arts, as several conversations about appropriation have been occurring in the community that has been difficult to navigate. When putting together this group, the M will be intentional about how we conduct the meeting and what takeaways we aim for participants to get from experience. These discussions cumulated in an off-site strategic visioning session in January. From this meeting, a list of 10 or so tribal members that the M intends to invite to participate. Discussion questions have been compiled, as well as an agenda template. The first meeting will take place in March 2023. From the strategic session, what felt more reasonable to the team was to conduct four in-person meetings throughout the remainder of 2023. Our initial planning of monthly meetings was too ambitious with a staff of our size and multiple priorities. What is needed is a project manager who can devote more time to this project, but due to budget constraints is not possible at this time. There are still plans for travel to tribal groups and meeting with elders and those who might not feel comfortable in group settings to help provide input. ; As stated in the proposal, the M went into the formation of the Native Artist Partnership Council will help the M navigate and identify what the full scope of the Native community desires are within an institution like the M. The process was led by the M's Executive Director, Dr. Kate Beane (Flandreau Santee Sioux Dakota and Muscogee Creek) To honor the values of inclusion and access, as opposed to having set outcomes and expectations, the M approached the formation of the Council to build relationships with Native artists and elders. The intent was to bring respected leaders together at the beginning of the M's exploration into an expanded Native focus. The group engaged in thought leadership and built a strong community to lean on for Native Arts and programming. After several months of planning and one-on-one meetings, the M hosted a two-day Native Arts Convening with 26 participants on June 20 and 21, 2023. To help lead conversations, take notes, and provide the M with a roadmap of how to move forward, Blackhawk Facilitation was hired to lead the 2-day convening. Participants received a pre-and post-survey to gather expectations and space to provide feedback. For the M's small team, hosting this convening was a big lift that laid the future groundwork for relationship and partnership building. For instance, participating artists offered to host a potluck and expand the circle of Native artists invited back to the M's spaces for further relationship building and knowledge sharing. Minnesota-based artists from the Twin Cities, nearby urban areas, and Minnesota reservation communities expressed their appreciation for being brought together. One Dakota artist thanked organizers for inviting her to ""be a part of something that is amazing and exciting."" Another Ojibwe artist said, ""This is brave and inspiring work. It also brings a lot of hope and excitement for the future in maneuvering things in favor of good and the benefit of many. You are standing in and doing the tough work."" As stated in the interim report, the overall goal of the Native Arts Partnership Council is to be a sustainable effort in the long term, which meant it was important for the team to take the time to have conversations to all be on the same page about the intended output. The M is a small and collaborative team, and this work is a significant lift in addition to other responsibilities of team members. The number of Partnership Council meetings and length of meetings shifted into what became a very meaningful 2-day convening in which the M generated important conversations and opened the door for more collaborations and partnerships as we continue to hear from the community about how they wished to be represented within the M.

",,"The Council’s 25-Year Framework identifies protecting Minnesota’s remaining native prairies as a critical priority.  The Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (Prairie Plan) describes the importance of preserving the cores/corridors/complexes where there are the greatest opportunities for the long-term conservation of these prairies.  The Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge Land Acquisition (NTP NWR) program shares these goals.  This program is a cooperative, multi-year effort of The Nature Conservancy and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to preserve and protect our remaining prairies and the surrounding habitat that buffers them.  With Outdoor Heritage Fund support, this partnership is working together to advance these goals.   This phase included the purchase of both fee title properties and permanent habitat easements.  The original targets for fee and conservation easement acquisition were 485 acres and 255 acres, respectively.  Both goals were exceeded - 520 acres of fee (107% of goal) and 367 acres of easements (144% of goal).  This program’s top criterion for selecting projects is the presence of remnant native prairie.  As noted above, 664 acres of remnant native prairie were permanently protected.  Another important goal is protecting lands in existing complexes of habitat and protected lands.  All of the acquired properties were in areas identified as a priority core/complex/corridor in the Prairie Plan.  We also target lands with high-quality habitat and the rare species this habitat supports.  Data from the Minnesota Biological Survey confirm the conservation value of the lands conserved.  553 acres were identified as having significant biodiversity, with 272 of these ranked as having high or outstanding biodiversity.  These lands support a wide-range of prairie species of concern, including Greater Prairie Chickens, Wilson's Phalaropes, Blandings's Turtles, and Regal Fritallaries.  Another highlight in this phase was the protection of several rare outcrops of Sioux Quartzite and the species that depend on these outcrops.  This program also includes a relatively small restoration/enhancement component.  The prioritization criteria favor parcels that are in good condition.    Because of the nature of parcel ownership, however, some properties included small areas of converted or degraded lands needing grassland or wetland restoration/enhancement.  This work is completed where needed to get these properties into a sustainable condition for future management.  Restoration/enhancement activity with this round of funding included 149 acres of grassland site preparation/seeding or interseeding/mowing, 6 acres of tree and/or dense vegetation removal, and 98 acres of scattered vegetation removal.  These acres are not reported as a separate outcome in the Output Tables in order to avoid any possible double-counting.   One thing to note when reviewing the attached Budget Spreadsheet.  The Request column in the Budget and Cash Leverage Table is out of date.  The figures shown are from the originally approved accomplishment plan.  It does not reflect any later amendments.  This discrepancy resulted from the shift from paper to online reporting during this phase.  See the final version of the Accomplishment Plan, approved in January, 2017, for the final figures.

Use interviews with teachers at Zorongo School, surveys with students at Zorongo School, interviews with artists (at performances and workshops), surveys with people who received outreach performances, informal audience comments after concerts, board member interviews, and fiscal health measurement.","Zorongo premiered Zorro at The Cowles Center for Dance. This was delayed from the original date due to venue issues. Thus, the Carmen show was not presented. We put on Dali's Kitchen with Ballet of the Dolls. We partnered with Native artists to create Zorro, and did outreach to the Native community, but the Minneapolis American Indian Center collaboration did not happen. We served fewer individuals due to lack of funding for Toro and lower turnout at events. We engaged audiences after performances. Enrollment increased at the school, and we had a successful student show, plus workshops with guest artists. We made strides in forming a new resident company, with students moving into apprentice roles. We were unable to continue the Gypsy Caravan, but we did outreach at other events such as the Longfellow Corn Feed. We saw a 100% increase in Give To The Max donations, and maintained institutional donor relationships. Due to the inability to secure further funding, the Arts Administrator remained at about .6 FTE.",,156407,"Other, local or private",172700,12000,"Robert Schommer, Donald Davies, Christine Kozachok, Tamara Rogers, Robin Moede, Silvia Lopez, Alessandra Chiareli, Georgia Hlebaen, Marissa Sundquist, Allison Herrera, Catherine Higgins Whiteside",1,"Zorongo Flamenco, Inc.

Admission reports show how many visitors are engaging with Minnesota artists through exhibitions and guided tours. American Swedish Institute also captures visitor demographics, composition and visiting patterns by conducting monthly visitor intercept exit surveys. Results show an increase in overall participation of new and first time visitors to American Swedish Institute (70% non-member base in fiscal year 2013 compared to 30% non-member base in fiscal year 2014), engaging its mission through arts related activities, including exhibitions of contemporary Minnesota artists. Expressed interest in seeing American Swedish Institute use the arts to engage its target audiences is not only collected in these exit interviews, it is supported by qualitative research conducted through select focus groups in fiscal year 2013. 2: Increase arts programming and the number of Minnesota artists involved by utilizing the new gallery and the new crafts studio and workshop in the Nelson Cultural Center. The National Association of Neighborhoods hosted their annual meeting in Minneapolis and American Swedish Institute was identified as a case study for how a cultural and arts organization is co-creating programs to meet needs in the community, acknowledged in a keynote address by our local councilman.

For each of the major exhibitions hosted in fiscal year 2013, Minnesota artists have been the avenue for American Swedish Institute to grow new audience and connect regional interest in its international exhibitions. By strategically incorporating practicing Minnesota artists, American Swedish Institute is being viewed within its community and across the state as an important arts incubator and facilitator. Fiscal year 2013 saw a major transformation from a member-based heritage organization to a vibrant contemporary arts and cultural organization using a broader portfolio of delivery mechanisms (residencies, musical performances, theatre, and participatory exhibition experiences) to engage its diverse audiences. 2: American Swedish Institute has built a reputation as a cultural and arts anchor for the Phillips West Neighborhood of Minneapolis and continues to build more sustained and new relationships with key organizations in its community. In fiscal year 2013, American Swedish Institute used the visual and literary arts to expand programming at three neighborhood schools, growing its participation by more than 50% over fiscal year 2012 with added classrooms and afterschool programming. American Swedish Institute partnered with a media arts unit at a local high school to grow Story Swap, a cross-cultural educational project for new immigrants.

With a goal to expand audiences, we track audience attendance and growth. Audience growth in 2012- 2013 indicates an increased level of interest and awareness within the general public. Critical media reviews factor into our evaluation, along with audience feedback and response. Our second season featured multiple sold-out performances, and received coverage in the Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, and other leading print, television, and radio media outlets. We plan to use our new Patron's Edge box office software to incorporate in-depth audience response feedback systems, as well as methodology to track audience demographics, gauge our effectiveness in encouraging the diversification of audience interest over time, and other criteria for evaluation over a long-term scope. On a micro and macro-level, these evaluation assessments are used to make critical decisions as to how to adjust programming from year to year, as well as how to shape The Cowles Center's long-term vision for the future. 2: Diversify and expand the impact of the Cowles Center’s educational program. Present a full schedule of student workshop and matinee programs. Work with eight schools to provide five-day Distance Learning sessions followed by a field trip to Cowles Center for a student matinee featuring either Jason Noer (hip-hop) or Zenon Dance (jazz/modern), a post-performance question and answer session with the artists, and an onstage workshop. Our evaluation methods incorporate feedback from all participants, including Cowles Center teaching artists, school teachers, and students. The methods and materials gather quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the following: overall program impact and effectiveness, mission fulfillment, participant preparation and interaction, curriculum goal achievement, content, technology, and use of resources.","With 31,424 tickets sold, the Cowles Center's inaugural performance season helped to establish itself as a prominent center for dance and the performing arts on the Twin Cities cultural landscape. One of our primary goals is to grow and develop audiences for dance, and at the close of our second season, we can see that we are fulfilling this goal. Our audiences for the second performance season showed an increase in attendance of 10%, with 34,927 tickets sold. In conjunction with our 2012-2013 Season, we also launched our new Meet the Company: Talk Back Series, giving audience members an opportunity to meet artistic directors and company members in intimate question and answer sessions following select performances. We reached an estimated 1,153 audience members with 17 Talk Backs in the second season. 2: In 2012-2013, the Cowles Center expanded its Arts in Education Programs with the launch of the Student Matinee Program. During the school year, we offered twelve diverse matinees to nearly 5,000 students from 39 schools and 47 home school groups. The Distance Learning Program continues to grow in response to demand. In 2012-2013, we served 1,779 students statewide with 203 workshop sessions, representing a 5% increase in capacity from the previous year. We partnered with thirty two schools, including twelve new partners. In early 2012, with support from the Minnesota State Arts Board, we launched a pilot program that integrated the Distance Learning Program with student matinee performances of productions on our inaugural season. The pilot was a success and we have integrated Distance Learning with performances in 2012-2013 in conjunction with the full launch of the Student Matinee Program. We served students in ten schools with integrated programming in the 2012-2013 school year. In addition to achieving our quantitative goals, qualitative feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. As an example, according to a teacher in Mora, the Student Matinee Program gave students a greater appreciation for an art form they may never have experienced before, saying it was most likely their first time ever [attending a dance performance], given our community distance from a theater like The Cowles. Another shared, the theater experience was new for several of my students and they learned so much!

We used three methods of evaluation to garner impact on student learning: 1) the descriptive and reflective protocol process for planning and evaluation with teachers/student responses documented in writing, 2) teacher and artist informal observations during the instructional sessions, and 3) a written survey filled out by students and teachers to determine the depth of learning about both environmental and art concepts at the conclusion of the residency.

Keep our 2010-11 repertory, except Claudia and Huggertree; bring in two plays from past repertoire; provide a new conservation play, a new library play, and two Booster Bits on a new topic. Provide one major new project like OPS or Anoka-Hennepin. Increase professional development workshops, from five to eight. Bring together four to six theatre professionals who, as a CLIMB Core of Theatre Practitioners, will observe and critique our actors, scripts, and production elements as they are performed on site. Actors will observe assessment and evaluators’ work, and vice versa, at least one time. We know we provided programs that met constituent needs. First, our repertory was created with input from topical experts and educators. Second, we know the topics were of value to our constituents because we sold 283 plays and 220 days of classes in Minnesota. Third, this year we created new teacher and student evaluations. 3,316 teachers rated the overall value of our programs as a 3.8 out of 4. And 99% of teachers said they would like CLIMB to return to their school. 7,785 students evaluated our plays and classes. 91% of students surveyed said they learned something that will help them. The feedback we received from the CLIMB Core of Theatre Practioners and the additional trainings helped actors score well in both teacher and student evaluations. 95% of elementary students said the acting was great. The actors' portrayal of their characters was rated as a 3.9 out of 4 by teachers and a 3.5 out of 4 by secondary students. 2: Expand our commitment to public service and public benefit. Reach at least 110,000 Minnesotans; serve at least 22% of Minnesota’s cities and towns; assure that 30% of programming is done in greater Minnesota; provide a program that reduces costs to greater Minnesota schools by 25%. With possible increased revenue, we will create funds of 10% of those amounts to help greater Minnesota cover travel/program fees, and to provide cost reductions to underserved audiences. We know we expanded our commitment to public service and public benefit. We exceeded our goal by 8,967 people and reached 128,967 Minnesotans with high quality arts programming. Our programming was defined as high quality by actor/University of Minnesota professor Barbara Kingsley who said, I was surprised by the level of engagement in the audience while watching 'A Deeper Look.' The young audience was riveted. I attribute this to the high level of proficiency on the part of the acting company. Michael Booth also praised CLIMB's original works saying, I was impressed by the artfulness and the message of the play, 'Lockdown.' We did a significant portion of our work in greater Minnesota and in rural Minnesota, and worked with over 800 students with special needs in addition to 815 seniors. We track this data in a spreadsheet that is completed after each residency/performance. This data helps us know the number of people served, as well as statistical data like location and number of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. We tracked the savings given to greater Minnesota schools by subtracting their actual travel cost from the original quote given for that school.","To ensure the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life, we provided programs that meet constituent needs. To do this we achieved our stated goals as follows: 1) maintained our repertory except Claudia and Huggertree; 2) brought in Yellow Troll's Treasure and The Dreaded Kneejerk from past repertoire; 3) wrote and produced a new environmental play called Space Baby, a new library play called The Gift, and two Booster Bits (now Interplays) on empathy; 4) created a training video for Anoka Hennepin School's human resources department, and did a live presentation for all their kindergarten teachers; 5) provided actors workshops on operatives, biomechanics, stage combat, unarmed stage combat, and auditioning; 6) created a corps of theatre practitioners (Michael Booth, Barbara Kingsley, James Williams, Mark Rosenwinkel, and Terry Lynn Carlson); 7) ensured actors observe each other's work at least once. 2: In order to ensure people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts, we continued to expand our commitment to public service and public benefit. To do this we: 1) reached 128,967 Minnesotans as of July 15, 2013 exceeding our goal by 8,967 people; 2) served 19% of Minnesota's cities and towns, falling short of our goal by 3% due to two anticipated grants not being funded; 3) scheduled 39% of our Minnesota programming in rural communities and 33% of our Minnesota programming in greater Minnesota; 4) created a special program to help save greater Minnesota schools money, but since it required partnering with another school participation was limited. However, to keep with our commitment of making travel affordable to greater Minnesota schools, our outreach team created tours that saved schools in greater Minnesota 39% on travel costs; 5) created a new program for elders with cognitive/physical disabilities and provided 79 days of programming to 815 seniors; 6) partnered with twelve organizations to do customized residencies for people with special needs.",,888168,Other,927687,7929,"Jim Gambone, Representative Joseph Atkins, Bonnie Matson, James Olney, Bill Partlan, Milan Mockovak, Peg Wetli",1.49,"CLIMB Theatre, Inc.

Our goal is to grow the overall participation rate of the off-campus community by 30% by 2016. Fine Arts Programming tracks attendance at performances, residency activities, and exhibitions. As noted above, we saw a sharp increase over projected attendance rates. In fiscal year 2013, Fine Arts Programming hired an outside consultant to conduct focus groups of off-campus community members. Based upon this feedback, we implemented marketing changes, such as increased branding advertisement, and more aggressive messaging of our lower ticket prices, in order to attract more off-campus participation. Our residency activities expanded to the Whitney Senior Center, and we saw increased attendance participation at the public performance.","Examples of strategies implemented to meet proposed outcomes included: Fine Arts Programming developed a strategic partnership with Great River Educational Arts Theater that benefits both organizations. Great River Educational Arts Theater has a large, loyal regional audience and partnering with them has created a symbiotic relationship. We are good fiscal partners for Great River Educational Arts Theater, and presenting them in our venues helps us increase our off-campus audience participation.

20560,"Operating Support",2013,40851,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Provide non-arts organizations with access to the arts in a manner that allows people to learn and create. COMPAS will partner with at least five different types of community organizations. In all COMPAS arts residencies, participants will create at least one piece of original art. At least 80% of COMPAS performances and workshops will engage participants interactively, present a cultural perspective, and deepen their understanding of an art form. COMPAS uses a variety of evaluation practices. COMPAS staff, customers, and teaching artists all participate in measuring the results of our arts programs. Evaluations are filled out by one or more teachers or administrators at a site and by artists; COMPAS staff makes site visits; and follow-up meetings among site staff, artists, and COMPAS staff are used to discuss items not covered in the standard evaluation. Evaluations track items such as how well: 1) the art form was taught; 2) the teaching artist engaged the participants; 3) customer-specific goals were met; 4) the artist communicated with the teacher/administrator, prepared them for upcoming activities, and passed on skills they can use after the program ended. Each long-term arts program includes a final presentation or performance that lets participants demonstrate their newly developed skills in a meaningful way and allows invited community members to see the results for themselves. 2: People of many ages, ethnicities, and abilities will participate in COMPAS programs. COMPAS will engage as many (or more) individuals and organizations in the arts as were served in fiscal year 2012. At least one-third of COMPAS' roster artists will be people of color. COMPAS programs will reach individuals and organizations in all eight Minnesota congressional districts. COMPAS tracks the number of participants and sites served through its programs. Since COMPAS is a state-wide organization, it is our goal to work in all eight congressional districts. This is achieved through building on our partnerships and developing new ones with schools and other community organizations. This year COMPAS looked for artists with cultural connections to immigrant populations and new art forms. Artists added included Kim Sueoka/Lau Hawaiian Collective (Hawaiian music); Victor Yepez (Ecuadorian muralist), John Akre (animation), Gita Ghei (East Indian, copper sculpture), and Sarah Nassif (screen printing). We also added artists of African American heritage and artists doing art forms already represented, such as fiction writing and photography.","COMPAS partnered with 93 different school sites, ranging from Tri-County Schools in Kittson County to the State Academy for the Blind in Faribault; libraries (Dakota County Library system); older adult centers and residential facilities (Lyngblomsten and Ebenezer); hospitals (Children's Hospitals of Minnesota in St Paul and Minneapolis); and recreation centers and social service agencies (Boys and Girls Clubs: East Side and West Side, Mount Airy). All the work we do - whether it be residencies, performances, or workshops - is focused on extracting originality and fine arts work. We offer every site the opportunity for a community event, and our artists use this venue to share the emerging work of students. We continue to emphasize interaction in all phases of our work. Providing the cultural context to understand a piece of art, and the historical niche in which it fits, is vital. 2: COMPAS worked with people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities during fiscal year 2013. Largely due to funding challenges faced by schools, we moved from serving 48,000+ students at 151 sites, to 32,000+ students at 130 sites. By contrast, our Arts In Health Care program increased by over 20% (from 2,994 participants to 3,834). Our roster is 42% artists of color. Aside from representing major United States ethnic groups, they also come from countries such as Ghana, Indonesia, Ecuador, and India (as well as Caucasian-majority countries like Sweden and Russia). COMPAS reaches individuals in all eight Minnesota congressional districts. Examples include: 1: Owatonna, Rochester (Bamber Valley); 2: Faribault (Minnesota State Academy for the Blind, Henderson (Hilltop); 3: St Louis Park (Aquila), Hopkins (Meadowbrook); 4: St Paul (Highland Park High), Roseville (Parkview Center); 5: Minneapolis (Anwatin Middle); 6: Clear Lake (Clearview), Woodbury (Bailey); 7: Roseau, Morris; 8: Duluth (Lowell), Aitkin (Rippleside).",,1122000,Other,1162851,2000,"Cheryl Bock, Mimi Stake, Yvette Trotman, Pamela Johnson, Nasir Raja, Roderic Hernub Southall, Robert Erickson, Christina Koppang, Diane Kuhlmann, Louis Porter II, Celena Plesha, Susan Rotilie, Michelle Silverman, Irene Suddard, Theresa Murray",,"COMPAS, Inc.

We take all this information and weigh it against our mission, values, and financial constraints to help create future programming. Continue to ensure that our audiences at all theatre sponsored activities (public performances, workshops, school/business/nonprofit outreach, artist interactions, etc.) experience the best we can offer. This includes, but is not limited to, physical amenities of the facility space utilized, production/artist performance, and interaction and involvement with Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center/Historic Holmes Theatre staff. We evaluated our programming through quarterly staff meetings in which we asked staff their opinion of past and upcoming programming, discussed what buzz we each had heard about town and from theatre-goers and non-attendees about our offerings. We talked about having the right mix of shows and what that looked like for this year and future years. We reviewed audience reactions and purposely asked community members their opinions of our programming through formal interviews, casual interactions, and surveys.

Continue and grow partnership opportunities and outreach activities while operating in a fiscally responsible manner. We evaluated this through our monthly and quarterly financial reviews as well as board and staff meetings/reviews. We routinely discuss and evaluate how our outreach plans are working, how to maximize and improve our partnerships (both with businesses who are sponsors and with the schools/nursing homes/businesses/civic clubs/etc. that we bring artists into).","Our first goal was to present programming of high artistic quality and a wide range of variety in our programming. Because we are in essence the only gig in town, we want to be sure to not just present one genre but to offer a broad mix of performances (dance, music of all genres, comedy, theater, etc.) that will hopefully appeal to most, if not all, demographics of residents in our region. In 2012-13, we certainly achieved this as we hosted such groups as Mason Jennings, Church Basement Ladies, James Sewell Ballet, Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience, Cudamani (from Bali), Patrick Dewane's The Accidental Hero, classical music groups from the Fargo Moorhead Symphony Orchestra, Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater, Theatreworks USA's Junie B. Jones, China's Tarim, and others as well as local community theatre productions and regional musicians. 2: The second goal we set was to ensure that our audiences experience the best we can offer. This meant not just with what was on stage, but also their experience in our building and with our staff. We want to be sure that people receive the best customer service, enjoy the beauty of our historic building, that the building is clean and well preserved and that we do all we can to make sure that their experience at the Holmes is exceedingly positive. We learned that we do achieve this goal. Our staff was ranked high for friendliness and efficiency. People are also very intrigued with the history of our theatre and many who visit once attended high school in the building so they love to reminisce about their time in school.",,224843,Other,242851,2000,"Larry Buboltz, Susan Busker, Steve Daggett, Mike Herzog, Lynn Hummel, David Langworthy, Michelle Maier",0.5,"DLCCC, Inc.

To evaluate the growth of our programs, Forecast relies upon national Public Art Review advisors, our board of directors, our Programs Committee, and others. In addition to collecting quantitative data (increases/decreases in revenues; number of artists served), we consider qualitative measures, including written and oral feedback from artists who applied for and received grants. We document all projects funded and share videos of funded projects on our Web site. Executive Director Jack Becker meets with advisors at national conferences. He then shares notes with the board and staff to help make adjustments to the program.

The theater's season will be complemented by the Live at the Guthrie concert series, the NT Live filmed presentations of National Theatre productions, the WorldStage Series featuring international companies, presentations of five Minnesota companies, and public showcases of the work of University of Minnesota/Guthrie Bachelor of Fine Arts and Guthrie Experience (Master of Fine Arts) students. The Guthrie tracks all ticketed programming through Tessitura Software, a fully-integrated database for ticketing, fundraising, marketing, reporting, customer relationship management, web transactions, custom capabilities and more. Quantitative results are measured through attendance figures, box office revenue, contributed income, broad press coverage, and the usage of ancillary programs and materials (e.g. enhanced student matinees and study guides). Qualitative results are measured through critical reviews and audience feedback, both through our marketing and development call rooms and through formal online surveys. In spring 2013, the Guthrie was selected to participate in a national study, run by Theatre Bay Area and sponsored by Doris Duke Foundation, of thirty companies nationwide surveying patrons about the intrinsic impact of live theater. 2: The Guthrie will remain open to the public every day, 362 days a year, offering diverse ticketed programming as well as free opportunities to use and explore the building. Community dialogues at the Guthrie and around the community will serve more than 14,000 people. Patrons are asked to respond to each production's ancillary programming as a part of ongoing audience surveys. For example, the Guthrie hosted a public dialogue with former NAACP Chair Julian Bond as a complement to our production of Appomattox (which examined issues of race in America from 1865 to 1965). One audience member commented, I am an older participant in the Feminist and Civil Rights Movement. It was fabulous to see Julian Bond again and hear his stories and his take on events both then and now. Also this year, internationally acclaimed theater artist Mark Rylance visited the Perpich Center for Arts Education before and after the students there saw him perform in Nice Fish at the Guthrie. Their teacher wrote: It was an inspiring and thrilling event. They learned a tremendous amount and the effects of his visits will continue to affect the understanding and abilities of our students for years to come.","The Guthrie is on track to produce and co-produce twelve productions on its three stages between September 1, 2012 and August 31, 2013. In addition, the Live at the Guthrie concert series has hosted ten local and national acts in the past year; the WorldStage Series featured the acclaimed Propeller (United Kingdom) to present two thrilling Shakespeare productions in repertory; four Minnesota companies produced their work in the Dowling Studio; and the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Bachelor of Fine Arts Class of '13 performed two plays commissioned especially for them. Through a partnership with the Film Society of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, NT Live has moved across the river to the Film Society's Saint Anthony Main Theatre. Although we are now financially separate from that series, we continue to help them promote it to our audiences. Also, in response to a projected deficit this year, the theater cut the 2013 Guthrie Experience for Actors in Training. 2: The Guthrie Theater has been open to the public 360 of the last 365 days. On Sunday, June 23, 2013, the Guthrie celebrated its 50th year with a Free Community Celebration Day.

Outcomes include an increase in students in the East Metro having access to an orchestral education, Philharmonia East enrollment growth, reintroduction of the revamped Rising Harmonies program, and reaching more underserved audiences through the community concert series. Through survey responses and information collected throughout the year, we analyze data which helps us assess enrollment and retention trends, student demographics, demand for scholarships, and audience attendance. This data is all important in measuring our effectiveness at increasing access for students and audiences alike. 2: Develop well-rounded students. Outcomes include students learning valuable skills, such as discipline, respect, and accountability through rehearsals; and excellence and community awareness through performances. Students will learn and grow through new student leadership roles and alumni-student mentorship opportunities. Qualitative data about student development comes in the form of feedback from discussions at parent meetings, student focus groups, and conversations with music educators, as well as frequent surveys. Information gleaned in those settings helps us identify what skills students learn in Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies, and their level of satisfaction on things which we can compare and track from year to year. Year-end surveys ask students about their satisfaction with Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies' programs as well as their perceived development as musicians and individuals. Students ranked their personal progress related to music and other skills in the following areas: technical skills, ensemble/listening skills, sight-reading skills, musical phrasing/expression, how to watch a conductor, how to practice, music history, music theory, discipline, teamwork, responsibility, time management, respect, and leadership. On average, 77% of responding 2012-13 students said they were satisfied to highly-satisfied with their growth in these areas.","Student enrollment grew by 10.5% overall during our 2012-13 season and participation in our East Metro programs grew by 26%.

After careful consideration, we decided to focus our resources on our core programming last season and did not reintroduce our Rising Harmonies program.

The Trust regularly reviews the organizations that receive tickets distributed through Access 10 to ensure that we are reaching a diverse audience and we also meet with each organization to solicit feedback on their experience and determine future opportunities. One participant, Asian Media Access, asked if we could provide experiences for their teens to learn more about careers in the arts administration field. We hosted an end of the year meeting with our Critical Review students and learned from them how we can improve the program, such as including a wider variety of artistic performances for them to review and have designed our program to incorporate these suggestions. We also received positive feedback from attendees of Broadway Confidential, our free series of behind-the-scenes talks by theatre experts. 2: To ensure that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are, the Trust will work with local theatre companies to present new and retooled works in the New Century Theatre.

Our Critical Review Program offered 35 high school students from diverse backgrounds around the metro area the opportunity to attend touring Broadway shows, write reviews and attend behind-the-scenes workshops with Twin Cities theatre professionals. War Horse Family Day, in partnership with In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, taught fifty children and their families how to build and operate their own horse puppets.

Outcomes include Highpoint's growth in high-quality and accessible education and community programs to serve more Minnesotans of all ages, ability levels, and socio-economic backgrounds. This fulfills Operating Support Program Outcome people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts. Highpoint evaluates our Education and Community Programs via three methods: interviews with students, educators, partner organizations, and artists; written surveys with these same constituents; and, the Highpoint Education Advisory Committee reviews this feedback and uses it to inform future programs. 2: Expand Highpoint's artists' co-op membership, which provides artists access to create and exhibit at Highpoint, through these objectives: broaden the diversity of co-op members (age, gender, race); further underwrite the costs of the print shop cooperative; grow sales of prints by co-op artists; provide more critical feedback to artists; and provide co-op members opportunities through visiting artist lectures and demonstrations. Outcomes include Highpoint’s artist co-op remaining a vital component of the organization that allows Minnesota artists to continue to produce and exhibit work in a professional print shop. More funding for the co-op would reduce fees to allow greater access to a wider constituency of artists. This helps achieve the goal that the arts thrive in Minnesota. Every Highpoint co-op member is given a detailed evaluation to complete annually. Highpoint's Studio Manager compiles the input and presents results to the full co-op and staff at an annual meeting for discussion and future planning.","Highpoint sustained and grew partnerships with Minnesota schools, arts organizations, and community members during fiscal year 2013.

Highpoint annually partners with 70 schools and organizations. This program allows people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities to participate in the arts. 2: Highpoint grew its artists' co-op membership from 27 to 33 artists in fiscal year 2013. Highpoint also helped these artists grow their print sales by providing two co-op exhibitions each year that are free and open to the public. The co-op artists receive 80% of print sales income, and 20% is used to subsidize the costs of running the co-op.

Preserve Minnesota history in artistic form. Outcomes include staging an annual season of five plays; serving 43,000 Minnesotans; ending the year in the black; and successfully completing the turnaround plan and ending long-term debt. The History Theatre evaluated the success of this outcome by 1) monitoring attendance at each of the five plays and Afterthoughts discussion series; 2) noting critical reviews by local media. This season was well reviewed overall; of particular note were stellar reviews for Courting Harry, by national playwright Lee Blessing and directed by Joel Sass. This play about Minnesota-born and lifelong friends, Supreme Court Justices Harry Blackmun and Warren Burger, played during the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. 3) financial analysis and ongoing progress toward fiscal benchmarks. 4) History Theatre assessed the need to cautiously increase pay for artists from an extremely modest baseline. This investment is paying off in continued artistic improvement. 2: Expose learners of all ages to the arts and to a deeper understanding of history.

Accomplishments that relate to the outcomes identified in our grant application included: 1) Staging a highly successful, five-play season that garnered outstanding critical reviews. 2) Conducting over 24 Afterthoughts, a popular public discussion forum that engages audiences with experts and cast members from each show regarding the topics and history presented through the plays. 3) Ending the year with a surplus and increased net assets. 4) Bringing over 40,000 people into downtown St Paul to see quality professional theater. 5) Employing more than 150 Minnesota artists and designers. 2: History Theatre achieved this outcome by making great strides in deepening and expanding its education and outreach programs. All of our plays are informative about history, and Afterthoughts discussions expand learning. History Theatre introduced adult learning classes that built on the themes of the shows, continued its mission by commissioning five new plays about people and historical events based in Minnesota and the region, and formed an accessibility committee to review History Theatre's ADA plan.

To evaluate this outcome we counted the number of youth and artists employed in 2013 compared to 2012 as well as comparing revenue generated through JXTALab client jobs and projects in 2013 compared to 2012. 2: Refine evaluation tools and measure that 100% of youth participants respond affirmatively to questions that test their perceptions of the value of the arts in their lives. The outcome is that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are. We refined our evaluation and documentation tools and processes this year, with the help of an evaluation research assistant from the University of Minnesota Center for Urban and Regional Affairs. Youth pre- and post-evaluation questionnaires were administered, and we are reporting on post evaluation questionnaires here.","The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life.

Revenue earned by client jobs, workshops, and residencies in 2013 was $130,991 versus $23,358 in 2012. 2: Some quotes from youth that show success in achieving this outcome include: I learned a lot from the program and it applied to my daily life. I was able to learn easily and quickly and use what I learned. I got to explore and find out if I had the potential to become an architect and explore what kind of work they do. I made logos for real companies.

Lundstrum Center collected quantitative data, including enrollment statistics, demographic trends (race, gender, socioeconomic); ticket sales; new audience members and financial aid requests during the course of the year, and is reporting those numbers. 2: Increase revenue from ticket sales, facility rentals, private lessons, and other forms of income. Written evaluations by teachers help to identify starting and ending skill levels of students and measure progress toward established goals (i.e. voice placement, ballet technique). Lundstrum keeps track of partnerships and requests for partnerships with schools, civic organizations, other arts organizations and social service providers. Last year, Lundstrum rented its space to many youth and arts oriented non-profits, including Buckets and Taps, Vaudeville, Team Illuminate, Curio Dance, Poetry in Motion, Uptown Swing, Herbert Johnson, Drop the Mike, Saint Paul Conservatory for the Performing Arts, Coon Rapids High School, Dandelion War Paint, the Ivey Award Rehearsal, and Stacy Boeddeker Private Instruction. Lundstrum collaborated with the Northside Achievement Zone, the Northside Arts Leaders Group, the Visitation Monastery of Minneapolis, University of Minnesota Dance program, the Hawthorne Huddle and Business Association, among many others, and responded to many partnership requests from area schools.","People of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts. Lundstrum Center continued to be an arts anchor on the north side of Minneapolis, drawing a diverse population of 428 students from ages 3 - 73 in 2012/13. Identified ethnicities were African American (21.7%), Asian (.9%), Caucasian (50.5%), Hispanic (3.3%), Native American (.7%), Other (1.9%), 11% with two or more ethnicities, and 10% who gave no response. Lundstrum Center's popular Dancemania classes served 19 differently-abled individuals, and during the year the decision was made to integrate them into the mainstream Sing and Dance classes for children ages 3-8. The Dancemania students had made significant progress, and all of the youth benefited from the interaction. The Dancemania instructor taught the Sing and Dance classes to aid in the transition. Another pre-school Sing and Dance class was added due to high demand. The organization gave over $83,000 in financial aid to 116 students. 2: The arts thrive in Minnesota. The Lundstrum Center brings together people from the near north side with people from Minneapolis and the first ring suburbs, all of whom come to the Center for the quality of instruction in dance, music, and acting, the opportunity to perform, and to see high quality productions of musical theatre. More than 5,200 people were served in the last year. Lundstrum serves as a feeder for the professional theatres in town who need local talent for shows. When not in use, the Lundstrum stage is rented to performing arts groups. Lundstrum also subsidizes rehearsal space for neighborhood youth and upcoming artists. In the past year, Lundstrum experienced many more walk-ins from local youth interested in getting involved.

Outcomes include a 10% growth in our library usership and a 20% growth in our educational offerings in the next year. We will build Minnesota's local, national, and international reputation as an important cultural center, making Minnesotans aware of the importance of contemporary art to our collective identity. Through support from the State Arts Board and a project grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, we firmly established our library's visiting art and curator lecture series. Our artists and curators presented lectures and engaged with the public on a monthly basis. After a number of record attendance lectures most notably a lecture by St Paul-based painter Bruce Tapola, where more than 100 attendees filled our space to over capacity, we decided to engage in a mini-capital campaign in the fall of 2012 to expand the library space. After a two month campaign, $50,000 was raised to expand the library to more than double its size. We continue to see high demand for these educational opportunities. We also formed a partnership with the University of Minnesota and local-publisher Univocal press to bring French philosopher Francois Laruelle to the Twin Cities for a series of workshops and talks at Midway and at the Weisman Art Museum. We are continuing to identify new opportunities to engage our audience both through our library's activities and our exhibition programming. In the summer of 2013, we hired our first full-time librarian to oversee much of this activity. 2: Midway Contemporary Art will originate three to five world premiere exhibitions from a diverse group of artists from Germany, Scotland, Canada, Sweden, and elsewhere. The artists were very enthusiastic regarding their experience at Midway. They continue to remark on the positive nature of the support they receive, both financial and also via our tremendous staff. We are continuing to identify new ways to provide this critical support to these artists to enable them to realize ambitious projects where otherwise they might not find the light of day. This is an increasingly vital component to how we view our core values at Midway. These values translate into growing a broader appreciation for Minnesota’s role in supporting the creation of new cultural value on both a local and international stage.","We grew our audience and deepened our local constituents' understanding and appreciation of the arts through our library, exhibitions, and educational programming. Library usage grew by an estimated 15%, and participation at educational offerings in the library and offsite events grew by 25%. 2: Midway originated five world premiere exhibitions from a diverse group of thirteen artists from Minneapolis, Berlin, Glasgow, Brussels, San Paolo, Nova Scotia, New York, Tehran/Berlin, Frankfurt, and Vancouver. Much of the work was commissioned by Midway, while in one group exhibition work was on loan from major museums and private collections from New York, Beirut, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, and other cities. As part of this exhibition season, we instituted a formal artist stipend policy of providing the artists with $5,000 in addition to covering all expenses including the production, shipping, travel, per diem, and accommodations related to the exhibitions.

Celebrate Lutheran contributions to arts and culture through performance; train a new generation of practitioners through education programs; and introduce new audiences through outreach activities. Program evaluation takes place on an ongoing basis. We measure success based on quantitative factors like enrollment and retention, and qualitative factors like overall participant experience and musical integrity of performances. We conduct written surveys of participants in our larger activities, and have staff members available after every performance for informal feedback. This information is compiled by the Executive Director and presented to the Artistic and Program Committee of the Lutheran Music Program Board of Directors. 2: Create a welcoming community that intentionally engages musicians and music appreciators of all ages and backgrounds. Elderhostel retreats, middle school choral camps, At Home events, partnerships, and hymn festivals create thriving environments around a shared musical heritage. Teens are embraced as we teach compassion and celebrate others' successes. As noted above, written surveys are an important evaluation tool. In addition to assessing everything from cafeteria food to performance facilities, constituents are invited to provide feedback on our commitment to nurturing community (one of our core organizational values). In fiscal year 2013, program participants overwhelmingly indicated that community is one of our greatest strengths. As in previous years, teens who attended Lutheran Summer Music Academy reported that our emphasis on camaraderie over competition helped them build self-confidence and grow musically. Older adults who participated in the senior adult retreat expressed gratitude for the warm welcome they received from Lutheran Summer Music Academy staff members, particularly accommodations like large print programs, transportation assistance, etc. Finally, because our goal is to welcome musicians of all faith traditions, religious diversity is an important indicator of success. In fiscal year 2013, 25% of Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival participants self-identified with a religion other than Lutheranism.","During fiscal year 2013, Lutheran Music Program successfully presented or co-presented workshops and performances; two hymn festivals; one middle school choral camp; one senior adult retreat; and the Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival.

We're pleased to report strong enrollment and positive participant feedback for activities taking place in fiscal year 2013. Overall, constituents indicated that both performance and educational activities presented by Lutheran Music Program were engaging, informative musical experiences. 2: In fiscal year 2013, we served people of all ages, abilities, economic backgrounds, and religious traditions. Our middle school choral camp took place in the Midway neighborhood of St Paul, while Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival served high school musicians from communities like St Hilaire, Gaylord, and Motley. During fiscal year 2013, Lutheran Music Program offered all of our performances free-of-charge and open to the public. We also provided significant scholarship support and discount opportunities for tuition-based programs like Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival.

The quantitative portion of the survey asked personnel to score the quality of lights, set, overall production, etc., on a scale from one to five. The results were compared to previous surveys. The qualitative portion asked designers to talk about their experience, how they felt about their work as part of the production team, and to give suggestions for improvement.

We evaluated the success or failure of the planning efforts through staff and board conversations, both group and individual.","Lyric Arts increased its total production budget by 39%. Stipends for contracted directors, designers, and other artistic personnel increased by 42%, making our rates more equitable with what is offered in the rest of the seven-county metro area and allowing us to hire highly qualified personnel for every production in our season.

Based on feedback from the artists involved in the season, many of whom were of a higher caliber than in previous seasons, artistic excellence increased substantially. That same feedback pointed out opportunities for improvement in our production process. This led to changes in our artistic staff and a reorganization that will lay the ground work for future growth and success. 2: Lyric Arts saw no substantial increase in the number of individual attendees from year to year through the expansion of current marketing plans. In the evaluation of our limited success this area, it was noted that while the expansion of marketing plans was easy to implement, refinement of the plans was more difficult to accomplish due to the structure (and the very small size) of our staff. As a result, Lyric Arts has reorganized the administrative staff to create departments for specialists instead of collaboration between generalists.

The chief indicator of success in achieving Outcome 1 is the number of people reached by our singing, along with the number of performers engaged in the creation of the art. By those measures, 2012-13 was among the Chorale's most successful years ever: even with the loss of contracted work due to the lockout at the Minnesota Orchestra, more than 12,000 Minnesotans and visitors enjoyed our singing during fiscal year 2013. Additionally, our ability to raise funds from individuals is an indicator of the extent of the Chorale's impact in the community: in fiscal year 2013, the Chorale raised more money from more individuals than in any year in our history, with fully one third of our total income derived from this source. 2: Provide opportunities for enriching, cradle-to-grave choral music-making to as many Minnesotans as possible. For the Minneapolis Youth Chorus, success is measurable by the level of interest among eligible participants; the ensemble was filled to capacity for the entire school year. Attendance at weekly rehearsals is another indicator: this exceeded 95% each week throughout the year, significantly higher than average attendance rates for the school-day in the district. For the sing-alongs, participation numbers are the most telling evaluation of success: for the Minneapolis sing-along, a near-capacity crowd of over 800 filled Saint Olaf Catholic Church, and in St Paul, our first-ever sing-along at the Landmark Center was completely filled, and the stage crew ran out of chairs!","To weave chorale singing deeply and rewardingly into the lives of diverse Minnesotans. This was achieved in several ways, chief among them via concert performances by the Chorale's family of choirs throughout the metro area and in Mankato. Along with mainstage performances by the Chorale and its artistic partners, the Chorale's Minneapolis Youth Chorus sang extensively for children and adults, and our Voices of Experience choir for older singers (offered in partnership with MacPhail Center for Music) presented concerts in fall, winter and spring. The Chorale's Bridges program brought singers into the memory care units of four assisted living facilities in Minneapolis and St Paul, with weekly visits over the course of a month. Getting the residents to sing along with old favorites was among the most moving experiences Chorale singers have ever experienced. Our informal Holiday Heralds program, which reached thousands of Minnesotans during the month of December, literally brought the music to the people, in shopping malls, parades, the Landscape Arboretum, and sports venues. 2: To provide opportunities for enriching multi-generational choral music-making to as many Minnesotans as possible. As noted above, our Minneapolis Youth Chorus and our Voices of Experience choir for older singers enabled more than 120 singers of all ages to raise their voices in song. The Chorale itself is a multi-generational ensemble, with 230 singers aged 19 to 81 as active performing participants. Beyond our own ensembles, the Chorale presented two sing-alongs, offered at no charge to participants. Messiah in Minneapolis and Mozart in St Paul (during the annual Winter Carnival festivities) brought more than 1,500 Minnesotans together to make music with us, and demonstrated the deep and abiding power of choral music to bring together people of diverse backgrounds.",,383012,Other,408503,1783,"Karen Bair, Elizabeth Balay, Don Davies, Dennis Kim, Wendy Lukaszewski, Gilah Mashaal, Bryan Mechell, Sue Melrose, Gloria Olsen, Barbara Prince, Karen Touchi-Peters, Rachel Wright, Tene Wright, Jon Lahann, Bob Peskin, Kathy Saltzman Romey",,"Minnesota Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Larry,Fuchsberg,"Minnesota Chorale","528 Hennepin Ave Ste 407",Minneapolis,MN,55403-1810,"(612) 455-2102 ",we_sing@mnchorale.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Blue Earth, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Le Sueur, Nicollet, Ramsey, Scott, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-221,"Joshua Aerie: Conductor, artistic director, and instructor of various music organizations.

The Regional Artist and Community Engagement Initiative builds programmatic collaborations through outreach and celebrates some of our region's most talented artists. In 2012, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum is organizing a related curatorial initiative called the 2012 Minnesota Photographer Series. Both of these initiatives aim to bring Minnesota art and artists to communities in ways that are relevant and meaningful. Operating support helps ensure a high quality and ambitious exhibition program at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum by helping to pay for professional staff and exhibition related expenses. In fiscal year 2013, the Museum facilitated 12 temporary exhibitions, four of which had the work of Minnesota artists and more that had Minnesota content. Evaluating the success of temporary exhibitions is qualitative and quantitative. In fiscal year 2013, the Museum utilized its qualitative evaluation form which includes social, educational, artistic, and economic benefit categories. An example of this evaluation is that the Minnesota photography exhibition Craig Blacklock's Lake Superior had noted artistic quality, it had raised awareness of a social issue (caring for environment), and furthered artistic training through a master's workshop offered at low cost. The primary quantitative indicator is attendance. In 2012, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum reached record attendance, in large part due to the success of exhibitions during fiscal year 2013. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. The Minnesota Marine Art Museum has high accessibility standards. The facilities meet or exceed accessibility standards and the Museum operates an access program called SPARK!, which is for individuals with dementia and their caregivers. The Museum resides in a college town, and, in an effort to meet the needs of area students, maintains Free Students Tuesdays. Further accessibility goals have been defined in the Museum's Strategic Plan and will continue to be sought. Museum Visitor Experience staff at the Museum regularly communicate to the Executive Director the increase in student visits, as well as the regular usage of the Museum's wheelchairs, which get utilized 4 - 5 times per week. The Museum has over 90 volunteers that gather feedback from museum visitors during all hours of operation- both good comments and criticisms - that are also communicated with the Executive Director and staff. These comments are used for decision making purposes and to ensure the continuation of meeting community needs. To evaluate the continued success of its Free Student Tuesday policy, the Museum tracks these visitors and serves over 1,000 admission free students annually.","Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are: The Minnesota Marine Art Museum continues to be successfully dedicated to working with Minnesota artists, educating about their work, and connecting the public with them in meaningful ways. In fiscal year 2013, operating funds supported the exhibition of 15 living Minnesota artists in four exhibitions, including the exhibition 150 Years on Minnesota's Waters. That exhibition was a collaboration with the Minnesota Historical Society and was fully sponsored by the fiscal year 2013 Operating Support. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts: All Minnesota Marine Art Museum exhibitions, including those supported by fiscal year 2013 Operating Support, meet or exceed accessibility standards for people with disabilities. There are no stairs in or around the Museum's facilities, and curators utilize best practices for accessibility in exhibition design. The Museum is able to offer free wheelchairs and has a stroller for families visiting exhibitions. Furthermore, the Museum maintains a low admission fee and has a Free Student Tuesdays policy. Maintaining our Free Students Tuesdays is vital because Winona is a college town, with three universities comprising about 1/3 of the local population.

Radical Hospitality is the new DNA of Mixed Blood. Tracking the success of the Radical Hospitality model was achieved through audience surveys and related evaluation tools. Fiscal year 2013 demographic data was obtained through pre-show surveys at 22 Mixed Blood mainstage performances. The anonymous surveys were constructed with respect to cultural differences, measuring age, gender, household income, ethnicity, identification within the disability community, and exposure to theatre. Mixed Blood staff optimized audience survey collection through a variety of hand-on techniques; as a result, survey return rates were consistently over 90%. Ongoing evaluation, including comparison to pre and first year Radical Hospitality findings, provided staff with the means to adjust outreach strategies to meet targeted audience goals.","Mixed Blood Theatre's Radical Hospitality initiative is revolutionizing how people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts, by removing cost as a barrier to live theatre. In its second year, Radical Hospitality provided no-cost access to 55% (4,523) of patrons that attended Mixed Blood's mainstage performances-- up from 45% the previous year. Those accessing Mixed Blood productions through Radical Hospitality make up a vastly more diverse audience than the theatre's paying patrons, drawing to the arts more people from a variety of backgrounds.

The second annual Family and Intergenerational Weekend will be hosted in October 2012 and enrollment in the course offerings will increase by 10%. Family programming elements will be integrated into each of our three major events to expand family involvement from our local community. At each of our major events, surveys are distributed to event attendees as a means of public evaluation. Standard written student and instructor evaluations are part of every course on campus. Regular conversations between instructors, staff, and volunteers explore life in the classroom every day. Building community is at the heart of North House's mission, which is why staff actively engage with students and visitors. Our lead staff rotate in the role of campus host directly connecting with students and gaining honest, direct feedback. Whether during the student welcome on their first day, in the school bookstore, or at the weekly student pizza bake, students are encouraged to share their ideas so that staff may work to improve courses for future participants. 2: North House Folk School will build momentum for its year-round coursework to nurture the thriving arts community on Minnesota's North Shore. Enrollment in catalog courses will increase, generating 6% growth in earned tuition revenue. Public outreach regarding our educational mission will increase membership and annual giving support by 10%. North House staff tracked all course catalog participants and membership, comparing last year's data to this year's numbers. North House's Programs Committee - made up of instructors, staff, board, and community members - meets monthly to discuss enrollment reports and strategize around course programming. Similarly, North House's Development Committee - composed of staff, board, and community members - meets on a monthly basis to review membership reports, financial summaries, and design outreach strategies.","In October 2012, North House offered its second annual Family Weekend featuring 10 family-oriented courses, a family contra dance, and a family storytelling session. A total of 48 students participated At North House's Unplugged event, families participated in a free community concert and cloth waulking demonstration with featured speaker Norman Kennedy. June's Wooden Boat Show included a family contra dance, the annual Solstice Puppet Show, and a new family storytelling session. Over 1,000 people attended the Puppet Show. Over 30 local youth and parents/adults participated as performers. During Northern Fiber Retreat, North House co-hosted a family program with the local Fiber Guild, resulting in participation from 15 adult-child pairs.

For example, in February 2013, 244 students were on campus, exceeding late summer 2012 enrollment. Whether or not this continues as a growing trend, there has certainly been a shift in the feel on campus as the off season can be even busier than the summer high season.

Outcomes: connect with organizations to invite artists on our stage that are often underserved. Collaborate with organizations in an effort to create a stronger community for all artists. Seek out and invite artists from all backgrounds, artistic genres, and experience levels to perform in cabarets. Create opportunities for Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities to participate in the arts through varied programming, minimal barriers to performing on our stage, and no auditions. We evaluated our programming through a number of tracking systems. 1) Number of performance opportunities for artists. 2) Number of development opportunities for artists. 3) Total dollars paid out to artists. 4) Artist demographics (women, artists of color, GLBTQ-identified artists, youth artists, artists with disabilities, and transgender artists). 5) We initially surveyed artists, curators and audience members, but found it difficult to collect them (only 2-5 surveys would be returned per show). Instead, we met, phoned, and emailed groups to find out their opinions on effectiveness of shows. 2: Cultivate a love of art in future generations through the High School Cabarets Program. Outcomes: Work with local high schools to help students plan, create, and produce a cabaret. Encourage interested students to perform in additional cabarets and core programming, thus strengthening their connection to the arts. Provide free workshops that will further enhance their school curriculum and give economically disadvantaged students the opportunity to grow and develop artistically. Encourage the next generation of artists to develop their craft, and learn to appreciate the similarities and differences of their peers. We evaluated the High School Cabarets program through a number of methods. 1) We surveyed students and teachers to find the strengths, weaknesses, and overall opinion of the program. 2) We tracked demographics of students (students of color, GLBTQ-identified students, and students with disabilities). 3) We tracked students that performed in other programming at the Cabaret. 4) We tracked the number of students that became volunteers at the Cabaret.","We reached this goal through many different programming opportunities this year. We collaborated with Interact Center and the Epilepsy Foundation to add artists with disabilities to our shows, tripling the number of artists with disabilities over last year. Our cabaret Sistah Solo featured female African American artists, with performers ranging in age from 5 - 80 years old. We added new programming for anyone to perform in. Scrawlex is a monthly open stage night where performers sign up for a time slot and perform whatever they want. It is a chance for new and young artists to try something out in front of an audience. We added The Calof Spoken Word Series, which gives spoken word artists and singer/songwriters a chance to perform works-in-progress and receive feedback from audiences. 526 artists performed last year, including: 54% women, 31% artists of color, 29% GLBTQ artists, 18% youth (under age 18), 9% artists with disabilities, and 1% transgender artists. 2: We reached this goal through the following means. 1) We worked with 352 students from eight schools or youth organizations. Of the students that performed, 60% were students of color, 6% GLBTQ identified, and 1% students with disabilities. 2) We presented a total of seven High School Cabarets in the 2012-2013 school year. 3) We incorporated seven high school students into additional shows, including a student who performed slam poetry in a Calof Series evening and another who choreographed her first dance for an Open Call Cabaret last October. 4) We collaborated with Young Dance to present a weeklong workshop opportunity free to high school students that incorporated dance, movement, self-exploration, and stage presence.

We received positive written and verbal feedback from fellows and Core Writers about technology upgrades and process improvements to new play development in our Lab. We received positive survey responses from participants (including 6 Minnesota colleges) in our New Plays on Campus program and from our 5 Core Apprentices and their mentor playwrights.

Outcomes: Minnesota producing theaters will develop new plays in partnership with the Playwrights' Center, serving the playwright, making new plays stronger, and moving them closer to production. Producing theaters will commission, develop, and produce new plays by Minnesota playwrights. Minnesota cultural institutions and community organizations will use playwriting and new plays as vehicles for serving their communities. Assessments concluded that we had successful partnerships with our Minnesota partners - Theatre Novi Most, Walker Art Center, Minnesota History Center, Workhaus Collective, and Unit Collective.

Outcome: diverse new audiences throughout the state of Minnesota will have the opportunity to experience Ragamala’s unique artistic work and encounter the arts and culture of India. Minnesota’s Indian community will have the opportunity to see its own artistic traditions presented as a vital part of our state’s vibrant cultural environment. This will support Minnesota State Arts Board objectives: the arts thrive in Minnesota and people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Ragamala evaluates the quality of our programs based on feedback from participants and community partners. We evaluate our ability to reach new audiences and integrate the arts into the community in new ways by examining attendance, demographics of attendees, and whether or not we have engaged new partners. New partners in 2012-13 included the Northfield Senior Wellness Center, Division Street Dance School, four Minnesota elementary schools and local amateur percussionist Balaji Chandran. Feedback included, I really loved it when [students] immediately reacted with their hands when the demonstration explained how words are formed by the hands in the dance, (South Elementary, St Peter, Minnesota) Professional, exciting to watch, and related well to children. The students and staff loved the performance! (Cowern Elementary, North St Paul) The instructors were AMAZING. They were so knowledgeable, such professionals, so well-prepared. (Cowles Center Distance Learning Program). 2: To continue to expand our outreach programs, which bring our work directly to Minnesota communities through free performances, workshops, and residencies at K-12 schools, universities, libraries, museums, parks, senior citizens’ homes, and workplaces. Outcome: audiences underserved due to geographic, socioeconomic, or perceptual barriers will have first-hand arts experiences and be exposed to the arts and culture of India. Youth and adults will learn about the arts and culture of India and build skills necessary to communicate across boundaries of ethnicity, nationality, and religion. This will support Minnesota State Arts Board objectives: the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life and people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. As noted above, we evaluate outreach programs based on feedback, attendance, demographics of attendees, and whether or not we have engaged new artistic and organizational partners. Our partnership with the Bloomington Center for the Arts was new this year, and feedback included OH MY WORD!!! Words cannot express how BEAUTIFUL EVERYTHING was! (audience member) Our staff had nothing but great things to say about the performance. (Ridgeview Elementary) The dancers were amazing - such grace and definition. The question and answer time at the end was delightful and we learned a great deal. Our seniors enjoyed it very much, and we are very grateful for helping us cover the busing cost. (Sabes Jewish Community Center staff) According to audience surveys, attendees at our 2013 world premiere of 1,001 Buddhas: Journey of the Gods at Minneapolis' Cowles Center came from eighteen Minnesota counties. Approximately 14% identified as Indian, 6% African American, 3% Native American, 3% Middle Eastern, 66% White, and 9% selected Other.","The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life: Ragamala is nationally recognized as a model for creative community outreach. In addition to extensive activities in K-12 schools, we look beyond this traditional model in order to weave our presence into the fabric of Minnesota communities in innovative ways. We partner with museums, libraries, senior centers, cultural festivals, hospitals, public agencies, places of worship and workplaces, custom-designing activities to suit the needs of each constituency. Highlights of the 2012-13 season include dance workshops for the Northfield Senior Wellness Center and Division Street Dance School in Northfield, an informal concert/jam session by our world renowned artists with community-based South Asian percussionists, and a performance by advanced students of the Ragamala School at the City of Minneapolis' Secret City/Hidden Places festival, as well as thirteen educational performances in K-12 schools in the Greater Twin Cities and St Peter. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate: Ragamala actively works to bring our programs directly to audiences that are underserved due to geographic, socioeconomic, cultural, physical, and perceived barriers. 2012-13 examples include: 234 people took advantage of highly subsidized tickets to Sacred Earth at the Bloomington Center for the Arts, providing a high-quality, affordable and geographically accessible experience to suburban audiences in a difficult economy. 375 youth and seniors (from four 4 local schools and Sabes Jewish Community Center) attended a free matinee and took advantage of free busing. Educational performances in Minnesota schools reached an additional 2,734. The Ragamala School (where 90% of students are young Indian girls) provides a high standard of training to the next generation of Bharatanatyam dancers in Minnesota, while instilling confidence, self-esteem, and the value of hard work, and providing role models of strong, successful Indian women.

Northrop will create meaningful partnerships with traditional and non-traditional community partners to ensure that major performance events featuring artists of the highest caliber are available to the broad community in ways that are meaningful to them. In this way, Northrop aspires to support the Arts Board’s goal that arts are interwoven into every facet of community life. Embracing a culture of ongoing learning, Northrop maintains rigorous quantitative and qualitative assessment and evaluation practices to ensure high-quality programming. Northrop evaluates ticket sales, performance attendance, outreach participation, and demographic information, as well as soliciting feedback from artists, staff, partners, and audience members to determine success of programming and future goals. When possible, Northrop conducts a pre-evaluation of participants or attendees to set the baseline and better determine impact of activities. While evaluating the number of community partners, it is evident that Northrop's collaborations are growing in number and quality. Partnering organizations included Chinese American Association of Minnesota, Consulate General of Canada, GIRL Initiative, Global Programs and Strategy Alliance, Kate Nordstrom Project, Meet Minneapolis, Project SUCCESS, University of Minnesota Women's Center, United Cambodian Association of Minnesota, Walker Art Center, and others. 2: To provide access for new audiences by proactively responding to, curating for, and eliminating the participation barriers of underserved communities. Each season, Northrop curates six to ten major artistic events that engage community partners. We identify specific underserved communities to work with while sustaining relationships with past partners and audiences. Northrop provides tickets, transportation, and engagement activities to support the Minnesota State Arts Board's goal that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Through ongoing discussion and evaluation with community partners, Northrop learns from partner feedback and integrates evolving ideas into programming to best serve audiences and underserved communities. Northrop solicits feedback from audiences and partners in a variety of ways including audience intercept surveys, observation at all events, regular partner meetings, and feedback on our blog. ","The goal to present world-class, local, national, and international artists to diverse Minnesota audiences in collaboration with community partners was achieved by Northrop's presentation of nine dance companies (including Soledad Barrio, New York City Ballet, Hofesh Shechter Company, Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre, Bebe Miller Company, Joffrey Ballet, Groupo Corpo, Khmer Arts Ensemble, and Emily Johnson), staging of fifteen local bands, and co-presentation of four Accordo chamber music performances in its 2012-13 season, each accompanied by a breadth of free outreach activities and events. Collaborations with community groups, businesses, University departments, and governmental organizations supported extensive community involvement during these events. Through collaborations with more than forty organizations, performance preview discussions, post-performance question and answer sessions, panel discussions, and residency activities reached a wide range of Minnesotans. 2: Northrop hosted thirty community outreach activities including performance previews and in-school residency activities. We identified new communities to work with this year while sustaining relationships with past partners and audiences. In 2012-2013, Northrop's access initiatives included: 1) 15% of tickets available to underserved families and community groups free of cost; 2) meaningful engagement through ongoing partnerships with Project Success, GIRL Initiative, Girl Scouts, cultural groups, and community organizations; 3) transportation and childcare provided for performances; 4) artists and projects that positively reflect cultural and ethnic diversity of the community, including Khmer Arts and Women of Substance; and 5) events and residency activities that contextualize performances and build bridges of understanding for new audiences.",,3268443,Other,3414804,,"Linda Cohen, David Larson, Clyde Allen, Richard Beeson, Laura Brod, Thomas Devine, John Frobenius, Dean Johnson, David McMillan, Patricia Simmons, Peggy Lucas, Abdul Omari",,"Regents of the University of Minnesota-Northrop AKA Northrop","State Government","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Christine,Tschida,"Regents of the University of Minnesota-Northrop AKA Northrop","2829 University Ave SE Ste 750",Minneapolis,MN,55414-3279,"(612) 625-6600 ",tschidac@umn.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Dakota, Scott, Washington, Carver, Rice",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-252,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

20644,"Operating Support",2013,93578,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Weisman Art Museum is an accessible portal into innovative arts experiences that spark discovery, critical thinking, and personal transformation ensuring that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Outcomes: over 150,000 visitors, artists, scholars, and community organizations that represent the diversity of our community participate in free museum art experiences; and more than 50 community and University partners will participate in collaborative planning and delivery of Weisman Art Museum exhibition, program, and outreach activities that reveal the perspectives of a diverse community. Actual visitorship was much more conservative than originally expected. A natural drop in museum engagement is expected after a major grand reopening but that was not factored into fiscal year 2013 goals. Staff changes, including departures and maternity leaves among education, marketing, and curatorial staff, also heavily impacted our fiscal year 2013 audience goals. And light rail construction continues to impact visitors' perception of our accessibility. Despite this new reality, Weisman Art Museum welcomed more than 178,000 visitors (55,800 onsite and 122,593 online) and met our campus and community collaboration goal with 53 partnerships by yearend. In fiscal year 2013, Weisman Art Museum introduced a new program evaluation process to create a more comprehensive review of activities. Feedback is captured through paper surveys at public programs and electronic surveys sent to audience members and to teachers following events and educational programs. These surveys measure the success of a program through quantifiable and anecdotal visitor experiences, simultaneously creating a profile of our visitors by obtaining demographic information as well as measuring individual participation in the arts community. Internal administrative and operational process evaluations are also completed by staff following all programs. 2: Use the intellectual and creative resources of a great university to advance the goal that Minnesotan's believe the arts are vital to who we are. Outcomes: multiply our ability to extend influence to statewide audiences through support for over 500 Minnesota educators through a combination of topical educator workshops, pre-teacher licensing, University courses, and student scholarships; and facilitate the engagement of over 100 students and community 18-34 year olds in skills related to museum work and the arts through courses, connoisseurship, arts administration, and internships. At midyear, we adjusted our ambitions to reflect the more conservative realities previously mentioned. In addition to directly engaging 37 Minnesota educators, 2,547 email announcements were sent to Weisman educator email subscribers and to the Art Educators of Minnesota listserve. An Artful Writing Workshop announcement was sent to 903 Weisman education subscribers and to 450 Art Educators of Minnesota subscribers. A Summer Teen Architecture Workshop invitation reached 744 Weisman education subscribers and Art Educators of Minnesota subscribers. 450 email subscribers received an invitation to customize their Weisman/classroom experience during fiscal year 2013. Through Weisman Art Museum's new evaluation process, the museum is better able to determine current audiences; establish methods of diversifying and improving visitorship; tailor programs as necessary to fit specific audience interests and needs; and address program flaws and visitor concerns. These approaches allow a more complete view of Weisman visitor experiences, and more accurately highlight opportunities for improvement.","55,800 onsite visitors, and 122,593 online visitors to the Museum. 53 partners and collaborators participated in planning and delivery of programs. 2: 37 educators participated in topical educator workshops, pre-teacher licensing, University courses, and student scholarships. 439 community 18-34 year olds participated in developing skills relating to museum work and the arts through courses, connoisseurship, arts administration, and internships.",,2635061,Other,2728639,93578,"Steve Apfelbacher, Frank Bates, Woodrow Byun, Fuller Cowles, Jennifer David, Cy DeCosse, Kristin Devine, Noah Eisenberg, Robert Elde, Rolf Engh, Thomas Fisher, Jon Hallberg, Gina King, Barry Kudrowitz, Anne Labovitz, Brian Longe, Emily Macy, Julie Matonich, Jose Peris, Shelly Regan, Gerald Rinehart, Philip Rosenbloom, Matthew Russo, Gary Smaby, Linda Soranno, Charlie Wagner, Kimberly Walsh, Deb Weiss, Perry Wilson",,"Regents of the University of Minnesota-Weisman Art Museum AKA Weisman Art Museum","State Government","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Lyndel,King,"Regents of the University of Minnesota-Weisman Art Museum AKA Weisman Art Museum","333 E River Rd",Minneapolis,MN,55455-0367,"(612) 625-9678 ",kingx001@umn.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Clay, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Hennepin, Le Sueur, Mower, Olmsted, Pine, Polk, Ramsey, St. Louis, Waseca, Washington, Winona, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-253,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

The Schubert Club education and outreach activities are integral to future performers and audience members. Project CHEER will provide free piano and guitar lessons to over 100 inner-city students with limited access; our Composer Mentorship Program provides hands-on learning experiences with live composers for high school students who have the desire and gift to compose but no access; our six Family Concerts will provide toddlers to mature audiences up-close and personal experiences with professional artists; ten masterclasses, public school assemblies, and nursing home performances will reach hundreds without access to live performances. At the conclusion of the school year, students in Project CHEER all participated in a recital, which was attended by families and friends of the students. The audience enthusiasm was an indicator of the success of the program. A written evaluation from the parents of the participants was requested, and their assessment gave Project CHEER high marks with great value for their children, families and community. CHEER gave these young people a productive, safe, and creative after-school program that gives them skills that they will carry with them throughout their lives. The Composer Mentorship Program required a written evaluation from the students, their families and the members of Pavia Winds. The evaluation assesses the impact of the program and helps The Schubert Club understand where improvement can take place. Written letters and online feedback from the teachers and students gave us a solid assessment of the value of the assemblies, workshops and family events. 2: Provide best-in-class performances through our International Artist Series and Music in the Park Series concerts. Offer a broad range of professional musical artists in recital through our five performances in our International Artist Series, and present the world's best-in-class performers for our audiences. Engage top chamber music artists from Minnesota and around the world to perform on our Music in the Park Series. Through these two series, we look to increase our subscribers and single ticket buyers through enhanced media and communications, in addition to creating the subscription concerts with a wide variety of artists that will attract diverse audiences. Measurement tools that indicate success are strong ticket sales, critical reviews, and most importantly, online surveys that are sent to all ticket buyers after each performance. The average rate of response to our survey is 25%, far above the national average of only 3%. This rate of return proves that the arts are vital to who we are in our community, and people care enough to participate in evaluating our programming. Also, the feedback has been consistently high in all categories, validating the quality of performances that The Schubert Club presents, and the importance of keeping our ticket prices affordable. ","The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life: The Schubert Club brings the arts into the community, enhancing the experience for all who participate. This was done through concerts, education, and museum programs. We served over 100 students, grades 3 - 12 through Project CHEER, our free piano and guitar lesson program at the Martin Luther King Center in the Selby-Dale neighborhood in St Paul. Four high school students from around the area worked for an entire year with our composer-in-residence, learning from each other and a professional composer. They each wrote new compositions for local ensemble, Pavia Winds, with public performances on our Courtroom Concert Series. School assemblies, workshops, family concerts and collaborative concerts reached over 2,000 people of all ages. Each of these activities focused on different groups of people within our community. 2: Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are: The Schubert Club strives to provide the best-in-class musical performances for audiences in the Twin Cities. Through increased marketing efforts including print, online, radio, television, and social media outlets, we have increased our subscription and single ticket buyers for both our International Artist Series and Music in the Park Series. Additionally, we partnered with Accordo, the professional string ensemble made up of the first-chair players from the Minnesota Orchestra and Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra for four concerts in Minneapolis over the course of the season.

Outcomes include: providing four group exhibitions, offering an international call for artists, continued dialog with media, and launch of a curated kickstarter page to help draw attention to projects by additional artists. The Soap Factory evaluates exhibitions and programs with assessment forms for artists, curators and staff, combined with attendance figures, online surveys, response from comment cards and e-mails, and anecdotal evidence. As past participants in the Warhol Initiative, we have taken part in regular peer learning sessions with Midway Contemporary Arts, Intermedia Arts, SooVAC and Franklin Art Works. We plan to continue all of these forms of assessment in 2013. We implemented the evaluation strategies we listed in our fiscal year 2013 Operating Support application. In 2012, we held a series of charrettes with neighborhood and artistic community members to help inform the building development and program planning processes. The data collected through the marketing internship has been used to help develop strategies and program, as well as keep board members and key stakeholders connected and engaged. Curators, staff and the organization's executive director are all evaluated at least annually. The volunteer experience is assessed through survey and feedback. Organizational goals are clearly identified in a strategic long-range plan and benchmarks are assessed annually. 2: Continuing to build accessibility so that visitors of all abilities are welcomed to The Soap Factory. See general evaluation plan above.","In 2012, The Soap Factory successfully achieved our goals related to artistic excellence and leadership. Our vision is of a true factory for art; not a sterile, passive gallery but a vibrant active place for creative experiment and innovation, unlocking the artistic potential of artists, volunteers and audiences. In 2012, we presented two projects produced in residence: Andy Ducett's Why We Do This, and Amber Ginsberg and Joe Madrigal's FLO. In addition, our annual submission show, Hedge Magic, featured the works of seven artists, including two from Minnesota, and the volunteer biennial, Known Unknowns, featured the work of thirty-four Minnesota artists. The Soap Factory continued its collaboration with Northern Lights to present the work of five new media artists in Artists on the Verge 3. There were several smaller programs that co-existed with the large-scale exhibitions. We continued to work with Alison Morse to present Talking Image Connection, featuring new writers and performers spoken word responses to the exhibitions in the space, and for its fourth year, Sergio Vucci and Andy Sturdevant presented Common Room, a series of psycho-geographical tours of the Twin Cities centered on The Soap Factory. 2: The Soap Factory was successful in raising funds from a variety of sources to make both first and basement floors of the building fully accessible and up-to-code, thus opening the 15,000 square foot basement space as potential site for year-round artistic programming. Coupled with this, The Soap Factory received its Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Minneapolis and a Rental Hall License, paving the way for an estimated $35K in new special event rental revenue to support artistic programs, and restoring The Soap Factory's traditional strength in live music and performance work.",,516743,Other,538605,11500,"Ryan Kronzer, Matthew Cimino, Megan Leafblad, Kevin Manthie, Miles Mendenhall, Kristin Midelfort, Eric Norman, Matthew Roberts, Sara Rothholz Weiner, Jeffrey Siegel, Jason Tamminen, Miranda Wilson, Ben Heywood",1,"The Soap Factory","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tana,Hargest,"The Soap Factory","PO Box 581696",Minneapolis,MN,55458-1696,"(612) 623-9176x 11",tana@soapfactory.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Anoka, Ramsey, Washington, Dakota, Scott, Carver, Wright, Sherburne, Isanti, Chisago",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-268,"Sara Buechmann: Executive director, Mankato Symphony Orchestra.; Lawrence Gorrell: Program director, Master of Arts in Human Development; associate professor, Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management, St Mary's University.; Paula Justich: Program director of arts and cultural management, St Mary's University of Minnesota.; Elisa Korentayer: Artist and consultant.

In fiscal year 2013, Stages Theatre Company will produce 4 new works that have been commissioned by Stages Theatre Company; produce one innovative piece specifically for a preschool audience; and launch a Festival of New Plays and Youth Playlabs. In order to evaluate our productions, we hire a professional data collection and evaluation specialist to survey staff, patrons, and Board members, soliciting feedback regarding artistic quality, play selection, and appropriateness of material. Production staff, youth participants, and crew of every production also formally evaluate the production process and their experiences. In addition, the director, stage manager, and designers conduct an assessment during a post-production meeting. As a quantitative measure, we monitor attendance totals and adherence to budget. Our training programs are evaluated by feedback from students, parents, and teaching staff, and through periodic classroom observation by department leaders. We quantify outcomes of our school programs and measure their effectiveness through student testing and the use of logic models which articulate desired behavioral and academic performance outcomes. 2: Stages Theatre Company expands outreach and access to underserved communities. In fiscal year 2013, Stages Theatre Company will include a sensory-friendly performance of one production for children on the autism spectrum or with other disabilities; offer selected performances with open captioning; and increase the number of individuals from underserved communities who access Stages Theatre Company programming through the Open Door program by 30% (as compared to fiscal year 2011). In addition to the methods described above that Stages Theatre Company uses to evaluate all its programs, we have begun to explore new ways to measure the improved social functioning of students in its Creative Accepting Sensory-Friendly Theatre program through administration of various autism skills assessments. Stages is working with several partner organizations to develop an evaluation tool that will allow us to see growth in certain basic social skills, including interaction with peers and group participation.","In its 2012-2013 season, Stages Theatre Company presented 8 innovative productions for youth in our community, including 4 world premieres: Duck for President (world premiere); Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (world premiere); Madeline's Christmas; Diary of a Worm A Spider and A Fly; Owl Moon (world premiere); Zen Shorts (world premiere of Theatre for Young Audiences); Cinder Edna; and Disney's Aladdin, Jr. We continue to collaborate with hundreds of schools, social service agencies, and other community organizations to provide high-quality arts programming. Both in our space and out in the community, Stages continues to provide programming that encourages children and youth to reach their full potential both in the classroom and on the stage. We added theatre arts residency programs in kindergarten classes in six Hopkins and two Minneapolis public elementary schools. In total these collaborations allowed us to reach out to over 900 students last year. 2: Stages Theatre Company continues to invest significant organizational resources in its efforts to reach underserved communities, including people with disabilities. Throughout the past year, Stages has 1) added open captioning to two of its 2012-2013 productions; and 2) developed and offered theatre arts classes and a sensory-friendly performance for youth along the autism spectrum. Working with several community organizations and educators in the field of autism, Stages developed a series of classes which were held in fall 2012 and summer 2013 dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment for children affected by autism in order to foster self-expression, social engagement, and confidence. Stages also held a sensory friendly performance of Owl Moon on March 9, 2013.

In addition, we collect evaluations after each educational outreach program, including surveys from partner staff/teachers, youth participants, and teaching artists as applicable.","Mu Performing Arts successfully produced four mainstage productions that supported our mission to produce great performances born of arts, equality, and justice from the heart of the Asian American experience, including one taiko concert and three theater productions. (Mu Daiko at The Cowles Center, The Tiger Among Us, Yellow Fever, and The Mikado in collaboration with Skylark Opera) . Each of these events shared a unique piece of Minnesota's rich cultural diversity and community identity through the arts. Mu Performing Arts is the only organization of its size in the Twin Cities producing work that celebrates and focuses on the Asian American experience. Through our storytelling, audience perceptions of Asian Americans are changed and barriers are broken down. Without Mu Performing Arts, Asian American representation in the arts in Minnesota would be greatly reduced. 2: Mu Performing Arts seeks to share the Asian American experience with Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities through our mainstage productions and educational outreach programs. In fiscal year 2013, we: 1) reached 282 underserved youth through our Stories program (82 residency participants and 200 youth audience members); 2) held four community forums for each mainstage production; 3) conducted five post-show talk backs and four pre-show talk backs; 4) held 90 educational outreach programs in Minnesota for over 21,000 people. We did not achieve our goal to reach 50,000 people across Minnesota in fiscal year 2013, reaching a total of 27,617 people. Whereas the number of community outreach performances is relatively similar to past years, the number of people gathered at those events was more intimate. The Mikado, our collaboration with Skylark Opera had four performances instead of our usual eleven.

Measurable outcome: in response to changes in the structuring of Adult Day Programs, we will carry out a new model of adult programming that is integrated into day-to-day services, multiple times a week. By expanding our work with adults with disabilities, who would otherwise have limited access to the arts, we are addressing the Minnesota State Arts Board’s goal that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. We track our service and client numbers, and carry out pre- and post- program evaluations on each program participant, as well as staff/ teacher evaluations. In fiscal year 2013, we carried out 170 hours of programming for adults with disabilities at Adult Day programs, and worked with eleven different Adult Day programs. This is an increase from the previous year, but even more substantial is how our expansion and development of adult programming in fiscal year 2013 has attracted new clients and leveraged funding so that in fiscal year 2014, we will carry out 290 hours of programming for twenty four different Adult Day program groups. Our evaluation from the past year found our programs had significant impact on participants' social and vocational skills, and increased exposure and participation in the arts. Our evaluation and service numbers help us to demonstrate that we are contributing to the Minnesota State Arts Board's strategic goal that People of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts. 2: Respond to the current economic climate, by refining our program model and pricing to ensure our programs are both sustainable and accessible to our clients. Measurable outcome: in 2013, we will maintain our current clients and service numbers, while maintaining a balanced budget. By making strategic organizational changes to ensure our mission to serve people of all abilities is carried out and ensure that all of our clients can access our services, we are addressing the Minnesota State Arts Board’s goal that people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts. The main demonstration that we achieved our goal is that we ended our fiscal year 2013 with a balanced budget and surplus to bolster our cash reserves. We now have in place more robust financial systems, policies and reporting capabilities and our Board and staff have increased their expertise in financial management. This is demonstrated by the fact that we underwent review and met the standards of the Charities Review Council this past year.

We achieved this by carrying out a new model of programming integrated into the daily services adults receive at one Adult Day program. We also further refined our arts based vocational programming at multiple Adult Day programs. Overall we increased the number of adults served, and the number of Adult Day Centers with which we worked. Adults with disabilities continue to be an underserved community in terms of arts access and participation. Our intentional engagement with this group, our strong partnerships with Adult Day programs around the metro, and our development of programming tailored to adults with disabilities, increased our ability to engage these individuals.

Our WITNESS program has an evaluation system that was implemented more than 10 years ago and has recently been enhanced by independent evaluation consultants. A staff person conducts classroom observation of each Teaching Artist and evaluates teacher involvement to assess future partnership opportunities. A formal process of program assessment and evaluation of the program is in place, focusing on student and teacher response to the curriculum and impact of the teaching artists. Teaching artist feedback is required at the completion of each session and is gathered through a written evaluation and an end-of-year focus group. The level of satisfaction from participants is high and continually improves. Likewise for Cantaré, a professional evaluation firm has developed a logic model, and VocalEssence implements surveys and focus groups to evaluate the program. The Director of Community Engagement also regularly conducts classroom observations of each Cantaré Composer. 2: More than 1,000 adults will attend one of our community outreach activities. A formative and summative evaluation of the Choral Pathways program was completed by an independent consulting firm. A formative evaluation was completed in December 2012 and consisted of qualitative research including observation of workshops, and focus groups or interviews with participants and activities directors. The summative evaluation was completed in March 2013. Data collection for the summative evaluation included the following components: 1) A participant survey by 83 participants at 5 of 8 facilities, a 20% return of spring participants. 2) An online survey was completed by 10 activities directors at participating facilities. 3) An interview with the education manager after the concert. Informal evaluation of other workshops and programs was based on staff observations and participant comments and feedback.","VocalEssence offered 4,410 students of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities the opportunity to participate in the arts. Participating schools were from the Twin Cities Metro and Greater Minnesota. A third of schools reported a less than 50% white student body, and about half reported a free and reduced lunch rate above 50%.

Outcomes: support artists, present programs across the visual, performing, film/video, and design arts, and advance interdisciplinary initiatives. Strengthen connections with the local and regional arts community through enhanced support and involvement of partners, artists, and programmers. To support the Walker's Strategic Plan, regular assessment remains critical to all program and business functions, and ensures broad-based understanding of artist and audience engagement amongst all staff. To quantify annual accomplishments beyond financial measures, the Walker documents key Measures of Success within the areas of artistic leadership and innovation, audience engagement, civic commitment, and stewardship. In the area of artistic leadership and innovation, the measures track artist engagements across the disciplines, Walker-organized exhibitions and presentations, publications, commissions, premieres, artist residencies, traveling programs, interdisciplinary collaborations, and awards. These achievements are shared publicly each year through the Walker's online Annual Report. 2: The Walker is dedicated to advancing participation in the arts and active audience engagement. Outcomes: broaden, deepen, and diversify engagement with audiences. Using Google Analytics, Walker staff measures growth in mnartists.org membership, the number of active members, artworks uploaded or linked, visitors, page views and visit length, and visitors' specific interactions with the site features. Member and artist surveys are also conducted through email, community forums, and in person to hear how well mnartists.org serves them. The staff tracks how well mnartists.org spurs critical conservation about the arts in Minnesota and increased exposure for its artists via the press. For programs like Artist-Designed Mini Golf, performances, and film screenings, the Walker interviews the artists involved to gain their feedback, and conducts visitor surveys. It also tracks media attention, program attendance, and admissions/ticket income when applicable.","The Walker presented contemporary art and artists across the disciplines through nine exhibitions; more than eighty five performances; 170 film/video screenings; artist residency activities; and hundreds of artist talks, lectures, workshops, tours, and panel discussions. The Walker organized the first major United States survey of Mexico City-based artist Abraham Cruzvillegas and presented the first retrospective in fifteen years of work by American photographer Cindy Sherman. Four Walker-organized travelling exhibitions were viewed by more than 190,000 people in nine museums in seven cities in the United States. The Walker's Performing Arts program commissioned six new performances and presented three world premieres, including new work by Minneapolis-based BodyCartography Project. Seventeen Walker-commissioned performances toured to thirty nine venues in twenty cities in the United States, and eleven countries. The newly renovated Walker Cinema featured several regional premieres as well as the British Arrows Awards with record-breaking attendance. 2: The mnartists.org Web site served more than 21,840 artists and organizations statewide, hosted 933,050 user sessions, and connected more than 900 Minnesota artists with 60,000 people through partnerships and outreach programs. The site featured extensive arts writing commissioned from fifty nine Minnesota writers. It also shared content with national arts sites and collaborated with Grand Rapids-based ArtPrize to broaden recognition across the Upper Midwest. The Walker's Artist-Designed Mini Golf course, created as part of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden's 25th anniversary during the summer of 2013, was created by forty eight Minnesota artists and garnered national media attention. The Walker also commissioned Minnesota artist Andy Messerschmidt for his first major museum installation.

Weavers Guild of Minnesota plans to focus on re-imagining what it means to be a member (supporter, student, or instructor) of our organization. Goals: remain relevant today and in the future; study and develop a revitalized benefits program; use technology to reach and communicate with an expanded community; and create an ongoing channel of support to ensure sustained arts programming. Outcomes: report data numbers, proximity/location, and demographics. Membership activities respondents were most interested in following: 93-96% classes and workshops; 22-32% member meetings with speakers; 7-32% Fiber Fair; and 11-29% study groups. While classes and workshops and Fiber Fair were also mentioned, our strong education program and Fiber Fair will continue; a core curriculum review is being led by the Education Committee, and the annual member sale will take place at the Northrup King Building in 2013. To address the other major areas of interest the Membership Chair developed a timeline and objectives to meet the following needs: with the surveys capturing data related to skills/abilities for participation and more weekend activities, Weavers Guild has changed the name of its study groups to ‘interest groups’; developed a new group that will focus on building relationships with newer weavers or those not familiar with our activities. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Weavers Guild of Minnesota plans to continue its strong educational programming. Goals: explore satellite locations and have a broader presence through the metro area; increase capacity and audience reach (students, individuals, artists) in all ages and skill levels in communities that normally do not have access to our unique art form and resources. Outcomes: increase accessibility and engage underserved populations through data tracking, resource development, and evaluation. Weavers Guild of Minnesota's Operations Manager has completed Associate Management Software training, imported old database information, and launched the organization's new Associate Management Software system and website. These initiatives also included planning for communications, such as the weekly online member newsletter, The Draft, and student and instructor course details. Members and broader audience can now register for classes and workshops online. Weavers Guild members also have the capacity to log-in to renew their membership, update contact information, or access the member directory. We formed an ad hoc task group to develop and plan the content for a members-only forum and section of the Web site. Highlights of this unique function will allow for more direct communication and a photo sharing feature, as well as a platform for individuals to request/discuss ride-sharing options or who is interested in forming a private group lesson. A Web cam can reach others remotely for meetings or informational sessions.","Weavers Guild of Minnesota's plan of re-imagining what it means to be a member resulted in designing two online surveys and collecting data from newer and former members. We received responses from 15% of newer members and 10% from former members. The survey asked a series of questions related to joining/membership in the organization, interest(s), organization involvement/participation, interactions with social networking, communication, and proximity/location. When asked, Why did you join? respondents mentioned the following (highest to lowest): to learn about weaving, spinning and dyeing, to connect with other people interested in fiber [arts], class tuition discount, and [interest in] equipment. We learned that 55% of respondents registered for a class at the same time they signed up to be a member, while 38% took a class(es) before joining the organization. Demographics: 93% female, and 7% male; Age: 46%: 46-60; 39%: 61-75; 13%: 30-45. 2: Weavers Guild of Minnesota's plan to remain relevant today and in the future involved using technology to reach and communicate with its community. In March 2013, we acquired and implemented Associate Management Software, and other supporting technology to upgrade our database and that system's capacity to interact with our Web site and accounting software. With an increase in online readership and a growing and active Web audience, Weavers Guild has technologically positioned itself to move the organization in a positive, engaging direction.

Art professors at the college took classes through the show to discuss the various works. Of the forty one artists accepted into the show, forty were from Minnesota. The Northern Lights artist reception included a presentation by the jury panel who spoke about the qualities they were looking for in judging the entries.

Outcomes: by fiscal year 2013, the total number of youth served by Youth Performance Company classes and the Young Artists Council has increased by 35%. By fiscal year 2013, Young Artist Council activities have increased by 20%. This goal aligns with the goals that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts; and the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life. For the first set of outcomes, The Youth Performance Company staff directors met periodically to review goals around Youth Performance Company classes and Young Artist Council. Throughout the year, the Director of Education adjusted tactics to try to reach class enrollment goals. The Assistant Director works closely with the Young Artist Council to plan their season of activities and monitor their work. This year, we explored new possibilities around evaluating our programs and our engagement with youth. Youth Performance Company was introduced to the Youth Work Institute and the Youth Program Quality Assessment tool. When we examined the tool, we concluded that it would be a good fit for our variety of programs providing valuable feedback to strengthen the Youth Performance Company way. This evaluation method was focused on our engagement with youth activities and was not applicable to our Arts Board operating support grant. We do feel a need to mention it here in order for the Arts Board and others stakeholders to understand how deeply Youth Performance Company values evaluation. 2: Youth Performance Company’s audience values the development of teens through theatre. Outcomes: by fiscal year 2013, Youth Performance Company’s core non-school audience base has increased from 600 to 800. By fiscal year 2013, 25% of Youth Performance Company’s non-school audiences are also donors. This goal aligns with goal that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are.

However, our unique and popular Young Artist Council has seen an increase in participation of over 35% in fiscal year 2013. The Young Artist Council activities increased by 50% including holding three main shows with performances held over three weeks each, including: Women and Wallace, Anne of Green Gables, and A Night Where Anything Goes: A Cabaret. 2: Youth Performance Company understands how critical individual participation and support is for maintaining a sustainable organization.

We also focused on opportunities for parents and alumni to become even more involved with our programming.

Through this production, we will establish or deepen our connection with 66-99 drummers of varying ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds in the Twin Cities, and to a lesser extent, the state of Minnesota; and establish mutually beneficial partnerships with Minnesota Parks and Trails and Ellis Drums. Through presenting innovative new work of the type described above, we are hoping to reach audience members that would not typically attend a new music event, engage new sound artists and performers that do not typically create chamber music, and increase our visibility. At our performance at Caponi Art Park, roughly 230 audience members wandered about the outdoor performance art installation. Our audience included many families with small children (not at all our usual demographic) as well as senior citizens. Based on feedback elicited from Caponi Art Park staff, audience members expressed that they found the experience unusual but gratifying and would come back to experience other such performances in the future. The production enjoyed lively social media presence and garnered a Star Tribune article, satisfying our aim to increase visibility. 2: Increase the scope of Zeitgeist New Music Cabaret and Zeitgeist Early Music Festival. With these festivals, we want to increase attendance by 10%; increase the media attention these festivals receive (two-four significant media articles or reviews); and establish at least two sponsorship relationships with local businesses. With our Early Music Festival, we would also like to increase pay for our participating performers to 10% above union scale and increase the number of professional and non-professional performers engaged through this festival (from four to eight). To evaluate our work regarding this outcome, we tracked audience numbers and noted sponsorships, media coverage, and performer compensation.","Our first outcome was to present innovative work that connects with members of our community in imaginative and personal ways. Specifically, we referred to presenting a production of Inuksuit, a work by John Luther Adams for 9-99 percussionists in an outdoor space. We didn't produce that production in our last year because we had an opportunity to create another such special work with the 2012-2013 McKnight Visiting Composer, Hugh Livingston. Because bringing this composer's work to the community was time-sensitive, we presented his work, Sound and Place, instead. Hugh Livingston is a sound artist who sculpts sound in outdoor spaces. Sound and Place is an evening-length work created for Zeitgeist and Caponi Art Park. The work premiered in July 2013 and took place over roughly an acre within the park land. Next season, Zeitgeist will present Inuksuit in August at Caponi Art Park. 2: With our Zeitgeist New Music Cabaret and Zeitgeist Early Music Festival, we were aiming to increase attendance by 10%, increase the media attention these festivals receive, and establish at least two sponsorship relationships with local businesses. This season, we increased attendance for our Zeitgeist New Music Cabaret by 8% and our Early Music Festival by 13%. We developed sponsorship relationships with five businesses and our Early Music Festival was the subject of two articles (Minnesota Daily and Knight Arts). We had also hoped to increase compensation for our Early Music Festival performers and increase the number of performers involved in that festival. This year, however, this festival simply didn't need the participation of many performers, though the three that did participate were required to participate more extensively throughout the festival. We did increase compensation for extra performers beyond union scale.",,139105,"Other, local or private",153318,1085,"Craig Sinard, Heather Barringer, Pat O'Keefe, Carrie Henneman Shaw, Carleton Macy, Zachary Crockett, Brett Wartchow, Philip Blackburn",0.25,Zeitgeist,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Heather,Barringer,Zeitgeist,"275 E 4th St Ste 200","St Paul",MN,55101-1628,"(651) 755-1600 ",heather@zeitgeistnewmusic.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-290,"Lawrence Burnett: Choral director and professor of music, Carleton College.; Sunny Chanthanouvong: Executive director, Lao Assistance Center.

State Legislature Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 8, (c)","$625,000 each year is for grants to other children’s museums to pay for start-up costs or new exhibit and program development. Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Humanities Center must administer these funds using established grant mechanisms. ","Our Proposed Measurable Outcomes are as follows: - Having a visitor return rate of 70% by the end of the first year. - Have a membership renewal rate of 85% by the end of the first year. - Engage 40% of licensed daycares in Otter Tail county in membership opportunities. - Have four free admission Saturdays during our first calendar year where Otter Cove becomes available and accessible to anyone and everyone. - Have six low sensory events, outside of normal museum hours, where children can engage with our exhibits who may not normally visit during busy times. ","Otter Cove Children's Museum was ready for its grand opening when COVID struck in March 2020. Our team immediately went into survival mode and began fundraising to pay for our rent, unsure how long we would have to remain closed. It was a painful feeling, knowing how isolated everyone was and that we had a fully completed, state-of-the-art children's museum in the heart of downtown, just waiting for visitors to come play. Starting in July 2020, we began hosting private rentals with no more than 40 people at a time. We also gave private tours to our amazingly supportive donors who were anxious to see the completed space. The response was incredible. Friends would join together to rent the space just so their kids could play. We started tracking zip codes and realized how far people were traveling to play at Otter Cove, even during a pandemic. We held a series of open-air art classes in the Maker Shop; these were some of the only children's and adult programs available during the summer and fall of 2020. We are proud that we could offer creative opportunities for our community while following COVID safety protocol. Despite the pandemic, we achieved our goal of becoming a regional gathering ground for children and families. We are also proud of Otter Cove's impact on the local economy. Often when guests leave the museum, they ask staff for recommendations of great local restaurants. If a child is having a difficult time leaving Otter Cove, caregivers will often tempt them with a trip to Uncle Eddie's Ice Cream, just down the street from Otter Cove.

Otter Cove was started and driven by a group of moms but the actual place, Otter Cove, is for children and the ""critters"" who live there; the otter in the Otter Romp Playground, the fox at the cafe, the beaver at the dentist office, the raccoon at the grocery store, the swan on the stage, the mice at the bookstore, and the skunk at the veterinarian. Every detail at Otter Cove is designed to look and feel like a true destination that guests are transported into as they walk through the door. Furthermore, the region's landscape, agricultural influence, businesses and art scene are visible as the actual exhibits and core components of the museum's play structure, miniature downtown, farm and field, and art and maker space. The beneficiaries of the museum will be the young people visiting the museum who lack imaginative, creative, educational and physical play options in the region. Families and caregivers will appreciate a place where connections and community foster, especially in the winter. Family connections will grow, as the museum is an experience that will have impacts across generations - parents and their children, grandparents with their grandchildren, families and caregivers across the spectrum. It's exciting that Otter Cove will be the only children's museum with an indoor play structure in a 180 mile radius, ultimately helping increase traffic for local businesses from the additional visitors in town. We have heard countless employers donate to the project because they are excited to attract and retain young talent with this unique amenity. Childcare providers and school groups will also benefit from having an educational destination for field trips that is local.

Grant Process A Request for Proposal (RFP) was posted on the CPL website in early August, 2010. The RFP contains grant program information, application criteria, application requirements, state agency contacts and grant reporting requirements. The RFP, Program Manual, and all grant agreements incorporate appropriate principles and criteria from the L-SOHC's 2010 Call for Funding Requests and associated legislation. Applications were accepted electronically for two grant rounds. Any ungranted funds from the first cycle were available for use in following cycles. Applications were submitted electronically using CPL's Online Grant Application System (OLGA). All project sites were mapped using OLGA's mapping tool. OLGA accepted applications beginning in August, 2010 until the deadline for the first round of grants in mid-September, 2010. The application system did not accept applications during the review process. OLGA was re-activated in December, 2010 mid-February, 2011 to accept applications for a second round of grants. CPL Grant Program Staff reviewed applications to make sure they were complete and met grant program requirements. Technical Review Committee(s), selected by the Commissioner of Natural Resources reviewed and scored applications based on criteria established by the L-SOHC, MN State Legislature and DNR. These committees include representatives from DNR, BWSR, the University of MN, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and other appropriate members from both government and non-profit organizations. A final ranking committee made up of the Chief Financial Officer, and Directors of the DNR Divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Ecological Resources/Waters, and Forestry recommended projects and funding levels to the Commissioner of Natural Resources. The Commissioner made the final decision on the projects funded and funding levels. Projects may be fully or partially funded. Every effort was made to evenly distribute the selected grants by geographic location, activity, and funding level, with an objective of granting 50% of the funds to projects above $125,000, and 50% of the funds to projects below $125,000. CPL Grant Program staff work with grantees to ensure financial reviews, grant agreements, and any other necessary paperwork are completed. Work may not begin until the grant is executed. Project Reviews and Reporting Project reviews are completed as required by Office of Grants Management Policy 08-10, Monitoring. Grantees report accomplishments on a CPL Report Form by September 1 of each year. Reports must account for the use of grant and match funds, and outcomes in measures of wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat restored, enhanced, and protected. The report must include an evaluation of these results. A final report was required by all grantees 30 days after project completion. CPL Grant Program staff compile grantee reports and submit an annual accomplishment report to the L-SOHC by January 15 February 1 and October 15 August 1 of each year. This report contains information on the number of agreements made, amount of reimbursement paid to grantees, accomplishments by grantees, number and status of remaining open agreements, and administrative costs. Accomplishment information is also be posted on L-SOHC and DNR websites. Relationship to Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan and other published resource management plans. This program provides additional funds to enhance, restore, and protect habitat in Minnesota. All published resource management and species plans?including the Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan?recognize that habitat is critical for the success of Minnesota's fish and wildlife species. Lack of funding is consistently listed in many plans as one of the largest issues limiting the amount of habitat work and protection that is completed each year. In the Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan, habitat restoration and enhancement is specified in the following priorities: H1: Protect priority land habitats (pg 63) H2: Protect critical shorelands of streams and lakes (pg 67) H4: Restore and protect shallow lakes (pg 78) H5: Restore land, wetlands, and associated wetlands (pg 80) H7: Keep water on the landscape (pg 84) LU 8: Protect large blocks of forested land (pg 130) L10: Support and expand sustainable practices on working forested lands (pg 131) Other plans that list habitat restoration, enhancement and protection as priorities include: Tomorrow's Habitat for the Wild and Rare (Minnesota's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy), which identifies habitat loss and degradation as the primary problem facing species in greatest conservation need in Minnesota. The State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan Strategies #1 and 2. The DNR's Division of Fish and Wildlife has several key plans identifying acquisition and habitat goals for fish and wildlife populations. Habitat goals are also addressed through more focused plans and programs that can be found on the DNR's website. National plans include the North American Wetland Management Plan, various Joint Venture Plans, National Fish Habitat Initiative, and all the Bird Conservation Plans. Non-governmental conservation agencies such as Ducks Unlimited, The Nature Conservancy, and Audubon Minnesota have developed their own conservation plans that list habitat restoration, enhancement and protection as a priority. ","Accomplishment PlanBackground: Applicants applied for grants under this program to enhance, restore, or protect forests, wetlands, prairies and habitat for fish, game, or wildlife in Minnesota.For projects that restore and/or enhance1. Projects will be only on lands under permanent protection of public fee ownership, or conservation easement as defined in MS 84C.01 or public ownership or in public waters as defined in MS 103G.005, subd. 15. Projects may be done on tribal lands under federal trust arrangements. 2. A conservation easement must be placed on any private land impacted before work may begin. Funding for the easement/deed restriction and associated costs may be paid for with in-kind match or grant funds.3. Proposed projects on public lands will be approved by and coordinated with public land managers. Projects proposed for lands under permanent conservation easement will be reviewed by the easement holder. Proof of review or approval must be submitted to grant staff before the application deadline. The private landowner must agree to the project as well.4. Grantees will be responsible for all administrative requirements such as Historic Property Review, Wetland Conservation Act, Stormwater Permits, DNR Waters Permits, and others as appropriate. Costs for any reviews or permits should be included in the grant application, either as in-kind match or requested from grant dollars. As specified in the grant agreement, grantees may, by letter, assign duties and associated funds back to DNR, with DNR consent.5. A Natural Heritage Review is required for each project site. This must be completed by the Land Manager or Easement Holder, or appropriate DNR staff, and submitted on the Land Manager Approval form. This form must be uploaded to the CPL Application System.6. The Commissioner of Natural Resources must approve all projects.7. All projects must meet requirements in the 2010 MN Session Law, Chapter 361, and follow the principles and criteria outlined in the L-SOHC FY 2011 Call for Funding Request.For projects that protect1. Lands acquired in fee title will be open to the public for hunting and fishing during open seasons unless otherwise provided by law.2. All easements must be permanent. Easements must include stewardship provisions to perpetually monitor and enforce the conditions of the easements.3. Projects to acquire land in fee simple title or a permanent conservation easement must be associated with established land acquisition programs that use explicit criteria for evaluating a parcel’s habitat potential.4. Grantees must agree to abide by all L-SOHC requirements for long-term management of any lands acquired with Outdoor Heritage Funds (OHF).5. For fee acquisition, the final title holder and land manager must be specified. Lands that will be conveyed to a public agency must be donated.6. Some State programs have specific statutory guidelines for determining the value of easements acquired under that program. If the easement will become part of that State program and the easement will be held by the State, any entity acquiring the easement may use that program’s statutory method for the easement valuation. 7. All acquisition selection processes and related transactions costs for all parties involved in the acquisition must be reported to the L-SOHC, 8. A Notice of Funding Restriction must be recorded for each acquisition.9. An analysis of future operations and maintenance costs for any acquired lands must be provided to the L-SOHC, commissioner of finance, and appropriate public agency.10. The grantee must submit an annual report on the status of property acquired with grant funds to the L-SOHC by December 1 of each year. 11. Grantees acquiring land that will be conveyed to DNR will be required to follow DNR’s Land Acquisition Procedures for Lands to be Conveyed to DNR. 12. Grantees acquiring land that will NOT be conveyed to DNR will be required to follow DNR’s Land Acquisition Procedures for Lands NOT to be Conveyed to DNR.13. A Natural Heritage Review is required for each project site. This must be completed by the Land Manager or Easement Holder, or appropriate DNR staff and submitted on the Land Manager Approval form. This form must be, uploaded to the CPL Application System.14. All projects must meet requirements in the 2010 MN Session Law, Chapter 361, and follow the principles and criteria outlined in the L-SOHC FY 2011 Call for FundingGeneral Program RequirementsFunds for this program were available until June 30, 2014. All grant projects met requirements of the 2010 MN Session Law, Chapter 361, and the L-SOHC’s 2010 Call for Funding Requests. In addition, projects addressed the priorities in the Minnesota Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan, and Tomorrow's Habitat for the Wild and Rare. Capital expenditures and indirect costs were not allowed. In administering this program the DNR complied with the Department of Administration - Office of Grants Management policies.Grantee MatchA match of at least 10% from nonstate sources was required for grants of $100,000 or less, and a match of at least 15% from nonstate sources was required for grants over $100,000. Up to one-third of the match may be in-kind resources. All match must be identified at the time of application.Grantee PaymentGrantees were paid on a reimbursement basis unless other arrangements were specified and approved in a grantee’s application and work program. Reasonable amounts may be advanced to projects to accommodate cash flow needs, to match federal share, or for acquisitions. Advances must be specified in the grantee’s application and final grant agreement or work program. Partial payments were allowed. 5% of each grant was held back until a grant accomplishment report had been completed by the grantee.Grant ProcessA Request for Proposal (RFP) was posted on the CPL website in early August, 2010. The RFP contained grant program information, application criteria, application requirements, state agency contacts and grant reporting requirements. The RFP, Program Manual, and all grant agreements incorporated appropriate principles and criteria from the L-SOHC’s 2010 Call for Funding Requests and associated legislation.Applications were accepted electronically, with grants selected for funding twice a year. Any ungranted funds from the first cycle were available for use in a following cycle.Applications were submitted electronically using CPL’s Online Grant Application System (OLGA). All project sites were mapped using OLGA’s mapping tool. OLGA accepted applications beginning in August, 2010 until the deadline for the first round of grants in mid-September, 2010. The application system did not accept applications during the review process. OLGA was re-activated in mid-February, 2011 to accept applications for a second round of grants.CPL Grant Program Staff reviewed applications to make sure they were complete and met grant program requirements. Technical Review Committee(s), selected by the Commissioner of Natural Resources reviewed and scored applications based on criteria established by the L-SOHC, MN State Legislature and DNR. These committees included representatives from DNR, BWSR, the University of MN, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and other appropriate members from both government and non-profit organizations. A final ranking committee made up of the Chief Financial Officer, and Directors of the DNR Divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Ecological Resources/Waters, and Forestry recommended projects and funding levels to the Commissioner of Natural Resources. The Commissioner made the final decision on the projects funded and funding levels.Every effort was made to evenly distribute the selected grants by geographic location, activity, and funding level, with an objective of granting 50% of the funds to projects above $125,000, and 50% of the funds to projects below $125,000.CPL Grant Program staff work with grantees to ensure financial reviews, grant agreements, and any other necessary paperwork are completed. Work could not begin until the grant was executed.Project Reviews and ReportingProject reviews were completed as required by Office of Grants Management Policy 08-10, Grant Monitoring.Grantees reported accomplishments on a CPL Report Form by September 1 of each year. Reports account for the use of grant and match funds, and outcomes in measures of wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat restored, enhanced, and protected. The report included an evaluation of these results. A final report was required by all grantees 30 days after the project was complete.CPL Grant Program staff compiled grantee reports and submitted an annual accomplishment report to the L-SOHC by February 1 and August 1 of each year. This report contained information on the number of agreements made, amount of reimbursement paid to grantees, accomplishments by grantees, number and status of remaining open agreements, and administrative costs. Accomplishment information was also posted on L-SOHC and DNR websites.",2010-07-01,2013-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Jessica,Lee,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road, Box #20 ","Saint Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5233",jessica.lee@state.mn.us,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Becker, Carver, Clay, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Freeborn, Grant, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Koochiching, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Le Sueur, Lyon, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mower, Nicollet, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Polk, Pope, Ramsey, Redwood, Sibley, Steele, Stevens, Swift, Swift","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/outdoor-heritage-conservation-partners-grant-program-fy-2011,,,,

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. We achieved our goal in serving thirty-six new youth, and we had seventy-four total participants, including all youth, mentors and parents. We used two methods to eliminate barriers. First, we made the workshops open to all youths and their mentors and/or parents, which, by including adults in the activities, eliminated the barrier to transportation. Secondly, in support of that effort, we promoted the workshops to parents and mentors rather than to youths.","The primary outcome of this project was the provision of three workshops for at-risk youth, culminating in live performances that addressed and eliminated multiple barriers to participation in arts for youth in Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities’ programs. Our organization has served youth for over eighty years. From experience, we know that lack of transportation, lack of resources and lack of a responsible adult to “drive” the event provide the main barriers to arts participation. Youth are usually open to new experiences, but, without an adult to provide encouragement and transportation, they simply cannot manage to participate in those experiences. By inviting parents and mentors to participate, we addressed the transportation barrier, and, by making the event free, we addressed the issue of lack of resources. Due to the structure of our program, we can usually count on an adult mentor to provide transportation to as well as support, encouragement, and organization necessary for participation in arts events. Unfortunately, however, such measures only temporarily eliminate barriers to youth participation, as they cease to be relevant when youth leave our program. 2: We increased the probability that workshop participants will involve themselves in future theater productions. We enjoyed collaborating with the staff at Harmony Theater, as they worked very well with both youth and Big Brothers Big Sisters staff. Harmony reported that our partnership offered them an opportunity to serve a population outside of their traditional white, middle-class demographic, which felt meaningful to them. Recently, Harmony proposed a new joint project between our organizations. We had thirty-six youth and seventy-four total participants in our workshops, which met our participation goal. We leveraged the trust in our relationships with parents and mentors of youth in our programs to promote and encourage participation. We also made participation in the workshops available to parents in addition to youth and their mentors.

These evaluations asked the staff to rate Actor-Educators on their ability to engage the clients, the appropriateness of their energy levels, anti the appropriateness of the activities, among other things.

When asked to rate the session overall, staff rated this residency an average of 4.87 out of 5.","The customized performances delivered by CLIMB Theatre, on location at our five program centers effectively engaged individuals with significant disabilities in a meaningful and interactive theatrical experience. The key to their success was the care taken to develop props, scripts and performance techniques that effectively bridged the most challenging intellectual and emotional barriers as well as the extremely wide range of cognitive abilities of our clients. The population at Midwest Special Services is distinctive in the severity of their disabilities. While some may have higher levels of function, the majority are vastly more compromised by both physical and developmental disabilities and the additional challenge of serious and persistent mental health concerns and medically fragile conditions. Physical barriers are typically the easiest to mitigate. However, the challenge of meeting the needs of such a broad range of intellectual disabilities required a good deal of creative thinking. The CLIMB Theatre team established a profile of our clients that enabled them to tailor each performance to the differing abilities at each center. Intellectual barriers were mitigated for the duration of the program. 2: This partnership brought a live, customized theatrical experience to over 300 individuals for whom a typical theater going opportunity is not an appropriate option. Due to high level personal care needs, impulse control issues and other medical concerns, the potential for many of our clients to negatively impact the enjoyment of other patrons in a public setting makes it necessary for us to find ways to bring the experience to them.

Through our partnership, young people were treated and acknowledged as emerging artists with value and professional potential. The series provided a weekly practice space, where youth received constructive feedback on finished and developing work from their peers and professional performance artists. Youth progressed quickly, showing noticeable improvement in technique and quality after just one session. In addition, we created a safe environment where these young artists felt comfortable to participate in new practices and share authentic expression. Individual critique was given after each performance, and was valued as nourishing feedback that supported growth. As a result, significantly more young people participated than we originally planned, and that word-of-mouth is one of the best possible outcomes. 2: YouthLink and Kulture Klub Collaborative share many goals, including building healthy relationships with youth and the community -- opening doors of opportunity for futures of empowerment, connectedness and self-reliance. Specifically, this program addressed our service goal of connectedness. Homeless youth experience many barriers to connecting with supportive adults in our communities. This program fostered deep relationships with professional artists and among youth participants.

Low income individuals typically do not attend opera events because of the cost and perception that they would not be welcome at a community opera event. 2.

The final evaluation report will be completed in May. Mentors were also asked to complete an evaluation that included detailed narrative questions as well as their assessment of their mentees' progress and preparation as a teaching artist in an older adult setting or working with elders. Four of five mentors gave their experience the highest rating possible (very satisfied), with the other identifying it as satisfactory. Collectively, the mentors identified ten artist-participants--more than one-third—whom they believe capable of moving into a master trainer role.","Held five Introduction to Aging Workshops during the final week of October 2013 that attracted 292 participants (exceeding goal). Sites included Fergus Falls, Grand Rapids, Austin, St. Cloud and Minneapolis. Key presenters included Jeanne Bayer, Andrea Lewandowski, Joey Clark, Jeanie Brindley-Barnett and Jane Tygesson. Evaluations on site and given via follow up email survey were overwhelmingly positive. Respondents noted how critical is was to get foundational knowledge that combined arts learning with key information about the aging process -- as well as new research documenting the positive impact of professionally-conducted arts activities for elders. In addition to actual participation numbers, pre-and post- assessments were used at all training activities. A follow-up survey (via Survey Monkey) was created and distributed to Intro to Arts and Aging workshop participants that asked questions about critical learning areas, what content could be added, facilities and pacing, and whether their community would be interested in hosting a subsequent conference. 2: 55 individual artists and 18 arts organizations applied; 30 artists and 8 arts organizations were selected to participate. Of this group, 26 artists and 7 arts organizations completed the training program. A majority are female, reflecting the large number of females to males in the applicant pool. More than 10 percent are artists of color—a proportion that we believe is commensurate with the larger artist/teaching artist population. As a group, they represent a variety of ages, both chronological age and 'career age,' ranging from their 20s to late 60s; in terms of discipline, about half work with visual arts; slightly more than one -third in theatre arts; and the balance in dance, music, literary arts, or film. Arts organizations included two from Greater Minnesota and five from the Twin Cities metro. Participant summary survey data is appended here. For the arts organization evaluation (still underway), ArtSage contracted with an evaluator from the National Center for Creative Aging to develop and implement a logic model for the arts organization track.

(1) Of this amount, $250,000 the first year is for a grant to one or more community organizations that provide arts and cultural heritage programming celebrating Hmong heritage. ","An outcome of the project will provide an opportunity for the elders and youths to engage with each other to instill a sense of value and validation of one another’s skills and abilities. Furthermore, it will contribute to minimizing the intergenerational gaps between both groups as understanding develops into empathy and care among the youths for their elders. Participants will strengthen their proficiency in the Hmong language and Hmong alphabet through these lessons. Youths will learn basic conversational Hmong words and they will be introduced to the Hmong alphabet. Today’s Hmong youths are unable to carry a normal conversation nor understand their parents. Teaching youth foundational words can help them identify with their families and communities. The youths will learn the skills of storytelling, singing traditional songs, and making and creating their own paj ntaub. From this experience, they can appreciate the beautiful artworks on their Hmong clothes when they wear them in addition to the significance of the work. They will also appreciate and learn the importance of storytelling and singing traditional songs, as those are integral to the Hmong narrative. In order to accomplish these goals, the plan is to have the youths meet on the weekend for a period of two hours at a community center to learn from elders and Hmong culture and language instructors. The time frame for this project is for 12 weeks. There will be a total of 30 youths participating in this project.

Southeast Asian community members will better realize their power and how to navigate systems through storytelling. Communities will build cross-cultural mutual understanding. Southeast Asian diaspora communities will be more centered in shared public narratives.Southeast Asian diaspora community histories, stories and cultural arts will be more centered in public art and understanding. Educators, policymakers, healthcare workers, and other community leaders who work with predominantly Southeast Asian communities (Hmong, Khmer, Lao, and Vietnamese) will have accessible examples and materials in order to engage with Southeast Asian cultures and histories, to increase their cultural competency and communication skills. We will measure these outcomes through a series of metrics that track both outputs and impact, as described in the evaluation section below.","We have changed our approach to story gathering, both for increased intergenerational participation and for the comfortability of our storytelling participants. Rather than do an open call, we are asking our community partners to ask trusted volunteers, participants, community members, etc. to gather for a story collection cohort. We will have four cohorts, one for each of our heritage backgrounds (Hmong, Lao, Viet & Khmer). Each cohort will meet 3-4 times, with the first three meeting being the young folk only to establish trust in the process and understanding the strength and tools needed for authentic storytelling. Our final meetings will include the cohort's elders, where, after a community dinner, they will each go off into various corners with iPads and talk to their elder to collect stories. This process will ensure we have story collectors that know the purpose of the project and feel like they can continue these skills in their lives, and storytellers that trust and have a relationship with their younger person and feel comfortable sharing their story. As such, we are reducing the need for community healers, given that the relationship between young person and elder will be strengthened in this process. ; SEAD has successfully completed our 2023 Planting SEADS project. We worked with 25 elders from our local communities, capturing their oral stories (via recording) for posterity in our online archive, and publishing 18 stories in our print anthology. The book was celebrated at a launch event on Saturday, December 2nd at the Public Functionary gallery in Northeast Minneapolis. Over 80 people were in attendance at the event. We read five stories, two read in the original heritage languages (Lao and Khmer) and three read in English. Each of the 20 stories was illustrated by an emerging artist from our community. In addition to the custom illustrations, each story was published with personal family photos from each storyteller, adding to the representation and personality of each piece. Elders and fellow community members were able to see the visual representation of their stories on the walls of the gallery space during the reading event. Of the 375 copies of the book we had published, over 200 have been sold and shared throughout the community. We anticipate a reprint of both this anthology and our volume 1 at the end of this calendar year. To capture the stories, we worked with intergenerational story collection teams. Knowing that our first-generation elders, many of who don't speak English, have had little to no exposure to social justice initiatives, we decided to work with a younger member of their family to help facilitate the story collection process. The cohort of younger family members went through a 3-session workshop series on the process and power of authentic story collection. One Hmong member of the cohort stated, ""This [the story collection] has been the highlight of my year. I want to do this with all of my elders,"" (2023). Each story took a minimum of three community members to create: (1) the story collector, (2), the elder or story teller, and (3) the illustrator. This doesn't include the family members that were brought in to help with translation and family photo collection. The ultimate goal of the publication was to capture stories of joy, celebration, tradition, and cultural pride. Rather than focus on the struggles of being a refugee solely, the collection celebrated the families and their struggles, while also looking at moments of levity. This preservation of joy helped in the building of a more personable understanding. Yes, each of these families has experienced the diaspora journey as a result of the Vietnam War, but each of them also has their own lives, networks, friends, and families that contribute to their current identity as Southeast Asian Minnesotans. With the book published and available for purchase, we have seen important feedback on the subject matter of the Southeast Asian diaspora. Many outside our four heritage groups (Hmong, Lao, Khmer, and Viet) were either made aware or grew in their understanding of the shared history here in Minnesota. Others were able to have emotional empathy for the joys and struggles recorded in the anthology. Within our community, we saw inter-cultural group relationship building and relatability. For example, a Filipina attendant of the book launch remembered the refugee camps outside her hometown in the Philippines, and related to this to one of the Viet readers from the series. We hope to do further promotion of the book, with several low cost readings to be scheduled throughout the state in the next year. We plan for the knowledge sharing to increase the strides we've made in visibility and narrative sharing.

This partnership protects and restores strategic habitat that builds onto or creates corridors between existing protected lands. Acquired lands will be transferred to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) to be included as a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) or to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as a WPA. This proposal aims to build quality grassland habitat blocks that sustain and grow greater prairie chicken populations in Minnesota.","The Problem: In Minnesota, greater prairie chickens are largely restricted to the beach ridges of the Glacial Lake Agassiz region. Greater prairie chickens require large blocks of grasslands, with a minimum of 320 acres at any one site. The makeup of these grassland complexes should include numerous successional states of habitat to sustain a local population. Greater prairie chickens are a “flagship” species in the sense that if we have greater prairie chickens on the landscape, then we have also included the habitat needs of many additional grassland-dependent wildlife species with less exacting habitat requirements. Greater prairie chicken habitat has declined dramatically in recent years due to 1) loss of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres and 2) conversion of grasslands; (including remnant native prairie), to row crop production.An Approach to the Problem: This partnership protects native and restored prairies, sedge meadows, and other types of grasslands and associated wetlands to promote the growth and stability of greater prairie chicken populations. The priority is protecting remnant prairies within core and corridor areas of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. All projects acquired under this proposal will be restored and/or enhanced to be productive grassland habitat as part of the grant activity. Once acquired, the subject tracts will be fully restored and/or enhanced. Our proposed tracts were identified as high priority greater prairie chicken habitat with willing sellers who have an interest in preserving wildlife values of those acres. Tracts are also on the list based on a strategic approach that ranks each tract based on six criteria including: 1) distance to the nearest prairie chicken lek; 2) location in or outside of a core area from the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (MPCP); 3) distance to the nearest public hunting land (WPA or WMA); 4) tract size; 5) current grassland type (native prairie, restored prairie, brome, or row crop; and 6) wetland density and predicted waterfowl breeding pairs (wetlands can provide important habitat for prairie chickens over their annual life cycle). Benefits: By protecting, restoring and enhancing grasslands and wetlands in the right areas, this partnership delivers on many of the goals of the MPCP. In fact, one ecosystem measure of the MPCP success is to have stable or increasing greater prairie chicken populations in Minnesota. The MPCP is ideally suited for greater prairie chicken management with core areas containing large contiguous blocks of grassland and smaller grassland patches scattered across the landscape called corridors that allow birds to maintain populations outside the core areas as well as move across the landscape. In addition to grassland conservation, most tracts have extensive wetlands. Restoring and maintaining these wetlands will have several benefits including water storage, sequestering and storing carbon, water quality, diversity of flora and fauna, and reducing erosion. Providing secure habitat for greater prairie chickens also provides habitat for a host of other grassland species that have less exacting habitat requirement with respect to acreage.

The makeup of these grassland complexes should include numerous successional states of habitat to sustain a local population. Because of this the greater prairie chickens population in Minnesota is largely restricted to the beach ridges of the Glacial Lake Agassiz region. Greater prairie chickens are a ?flagship? species in the sense that if we have greater prairie chickens on the landscape, then we have also included the habitat needs of many additional grassland-dependent wildlife species with less exacting habitat requirements. Greater prairie chicken habitat has declined dramatically in recent years due to 1) loss of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres and 2) conversion of grasslands; (including remnant native prairie), to row crop production. This partnership protects native and restored prairies, sedge meadows, and other types of grasslands and associated wetlands to promote the growth and stability of greater prairie chicken populations. This is a very focused proposal with the priority of protecting remnant prairies within core and corridor areas of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. Our proposed tracts were identified as high priority greater prairie chicken habitat with willing sellers who have an interest in preserving wildlife values of those acres. These tracts were ranked as high priority for greater prairie chicken habitat based on six criteria including: 1) distance to the nearest prairie chicken lek; 2) location in or outside of a core area from the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (MPCP); 3) distance to the nearest public hunting land (WPA or WMA); 4) tract size; 5) current grassland type (native prairie, restored prairie, brome, or row crop; and 6) wetland density and predicted waterfowl breeding pairs (wetlands can provide important habitat for prairie chickens over their annual life cycle). All projects acquired under this proposal will be restored and/or enhanced to be productive grassland habitat as part of the grant activity. By protecting, restoring, and enhancing grasslands and wetlands in the right areas, this partnership delivers on many of the goals of stateside conservation plans. In fact, one ecosystem measure of the MPCP success is to have stable or increasing greater prairie chicken populations in Minnesota. The MPCP is ideally suited for greater prairie chicken management with core areas containing large contiguous blocks of grassland and smaller grassland patches scattered across the landscape called corridors that allow birds to maintain populations outside the core areas as well as move across the landscape. In addition to grassland conservation, most tracts have extensive wetlands. Restoring and maintaining these wetlands will have several benefits including water storage, sequestering and storing carbon, water quality, diversity of flora and fauna, and reducing erosion.

We will continue to implement subsequent Phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. ",,"Scope of work:With the requested funding the following actions and outcomes were achieved: Phase 5 built upon the success of the MN Prairie Recovery Project Phases 1-4 by continuing and expanding enhancement and protection work in 4 focal areas. Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments. 698 acres of existing and restorable grassland, prairie pothole wetland complex, and savanna were permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as defined in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Lands are held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to LSOHC requirements. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been, and will continue to be, implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), via interactions through Local Technical Teams. An internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs and property tax obligations. Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, and/or cropping) are held in this account and help offset property taxes. Coincidentally, exactly 698 acres of cropland and former foodplots were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Extensive effort was made to collect seed from local sources that cover the full season (early spring through late fall) needs of native pollinators. Seed sourcing included both mechanical and hand collection. 18,839 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (“protected conservation lands”) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire (50 projects impacting 11,730 acres), removal of woody vegetation (40 projects for 3,048 acres), control of exotic species (70 projects - 3,930 acres), and inter-seeding of degraded grasslands (13 projects - 131 acres). Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC. On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or US Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and USFWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and other activities related to prairie conservation in the focus areas.  Contracts were let to provide a high level of enhancement activities to new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing local jobs through CCM and businesses. Activities included removal of undesirable woody vegetation, identification and treatment of invasive species infestations, removal of abandoned fences and/or other structures, and related restoration/enhancement activities. To ensure goals and outcomes are consistently achieved across all 4 project areas, a project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. Significant marketing and media outreach was conducted by the Conservancy to highlight the goals and accomplishments of the project to local and statewide constituents, as well as elected officials. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/minnesota/policy/minnesota-prairie-recovery-project.xml Temporary seasonal crews were employed by the Conservancy to provide additional capacity for public land management during critical periods like spring burn season. These crews helped create flexibility for enhancement projects and maximized the ability of specialized skilled personnel like burn bosses to increase the number of acres annually enhanced. 2. How priorities were set: Prioritization and prioritization criteria vary with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with MN County Biological Survey prairie “focus areas” and TNC portfolio areas. Each of the 4 project geographies directly correlate to core areas identified in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Because this project is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by respective coordinating groups. criteria for each of these tactics include: a. Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding. A more robust listing of selection criteria can be provided upon request. b.

Greater prairie chickens are a ""flagship"" species in the sense that if we have greater prairie chickens on the landscape, then we also have met the habitat needs of many additional grassland-dependent wildlife species. Greater prairie chicken habitat has declined dramatically in recent years due to 1) loss of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres and 2) conversion of grasslands; (including remnant native prairie), to row crop production. This partnership protects native and restored prairies, sedge meadows, and other types of grasslands and associated wetlands to promote the growth and stability of greater prairie chicken populations. This is a very focused proposal with the priority of protecting remnant prairies within core and corridor areas of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. Our proposed tracts were identified as high priority greater prairie chicken habitat with willing sellers who have an interest in preserving wildlife values.

All projects acquired under this proposal will be restored and/or enhanced to be productive grassland habitat as part of the grant activity. By protecting, restoring, and enhancing grasslands and wetlands in the right areas, this partnership delivers on many of the goals of stateside conservation plans. In fact, one ecosystem measure of the MPCP success is to have stable or increasing greater prairie chicken populations in Minnesota. The MPCP is ideally suited for greater prairie chicken management with core areas containing large contiguous blocks of grassland and smaller grassland patches scattered across the landscape called corridors that allow birds to maintain populations outside the core areas as well as move across the landscape. In addition to grassland conservation, most tracts have extensive wetlands. Restoring and maintaining these wetlands will have several benefits including water storage, sequestering and storing carbon, water quality, diversity of flora and fauna, and reducing erosion.

The additional 40 acres are held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to LSOHC requirements. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), via interactions through Local Technical Teams. An internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs and property tax obligations. Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, and/or cropping) are held in this account and help offset property taxes. 151 acres of cropland were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Extensive effort was made to collect seed from local sources that cover the full season (early spring through late fall) needs of native pollinators. Seed sourcing included both mechanical and hand collection. 24,604 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (protected conservation lands) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat.

This partnership protects native and restored prairies, sedge meadows, and other types of grasslands and associated wetlands to promote the growth and stability of greater prairie chicken populations. This is a very focused proposal with the priority of protecting remnant prairies within core and corridor areas of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. Our proposed tracts were identified as high priority greater prairie chicken habitat with willing sellers who have an interest in preserving wildlife values. These tracts were ranked as high priority for greater prairie chicken habitat based on six criteria including: 1) distance to the nearest prairie chicken lek; 2) location in or outside of a core area from the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (MPCP); 3) distance to the nearest public hunting land (WPA or WMA); 4) tract size; 5) current grassland type (native prairie, restored prairie, brome, or row crop;) and 6) wetland density and predicted waterfowl breeding pairs (wetlands can provide important habitat for prairie chickens over their annual life cycle). All projects acquired under this proposal will be restored and/or enhanced to be productive grassland habitat as part of the grant activity. By protecting, restoring, and enhancing grasslands and wetlands in the right areas, this partnership delivers on many of the goals of stateside conservation plans. In fact, one ecosystem measure of the MPCP success is to have stable or increasing greater prairie chicken populations in Minnesota. The MPCP is ideally suited for greater prairie chicken management with core areas containing large contiguous blocks of grassland and smaller grassland patches scattered across the landscape called corridors that allow birds to maintain populations outside the core areas as well as move across the landscape. In addition to grassland conservation, most tracts have extensive wetlands. Restoring and maintaining these wetlands will have several benefits including water storage, sequestering and storing carbon, water quality, diversity of flora and fauna, and reducing erosion. Providing secure habitat for greater prairie chickens also provides habitat for a host of other grassland species.",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Sabin,Adams,"MN Prairie Chicken Society / Pheasants Forever, Inc.","14241 Steves Rd SE ",Osakis,MN,56360,320-250-6317,sadams@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Clay, Mahnomen, Norman, Wilkin","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/prairie-chicken-habitat-partnership-southern-red-river-valley-phase-viii,,,,

Our original proposed to complete this project is June 2023, in fact, we completed the project three month earlier (March 2023) because of community efforts. We cannot thank you our team, volunteers, and community members enough for this amazing collaboration for the many hours for in-person meetings and zoom meetings to organize, coordinate, and assign tasks/duties for completing the project for the community. WHAT WORK WAS ACCOMPLISHED? Thank you so much for the grant opportunity on our Preserving Hmong Minnesota Heritage and Paj Ntaub in a Holiday Coloring Book Project.We were able to pull this project through because of the Minnesota Humanities Center with money from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund that was created with the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 (we also included this statement in the book publication). Because of the Center's support and commitment to preserving ethnic Minnesotans' communities' cultures and identities, this book project is one of our BEST coloring books that showcases of Hmong arts, illustrations, and traditional clothing and Paj Ntaub. We're very pleased with the outcome as a result of this funding. GOAL ACHIEVEMENT: We achieved our goal by meeting monthly (whether in-person or Zoom) with all volunteers and committee members. Working with our Hmong artists, designs, and volunteers at the Hmong Archives, we were able to organize the book project by blending designs and symbols from traditional Hmong culture with the magic of the Winter season. The amazing result speaks for itself, and the book celebrates the best of both worlds: Hmong Minnesota & Winter Wonderland. GOAL MEASUREMENT: We want to make sure that the project includes the diversity of Hmong Paj Ntaub in Hmong characters, our designers and volunteers drafted, illustrated, and drew over 80 detailed and imaginative pages that feature the beautiful Hmong Paj Ntaub identity to reflect the ethnic Hmong people and culture.

I like the explanation and background of the songs and writers. They do a great job of this. I love good music and the band is the tops.Evaluation Plan and Methods are as follows: Outcome 1 is measured by delivering live theater to Elk River and surrounding areas: by auditioning, rehearsals, and the presentation of a series of live performances for the region at the end of July. The extensive rehearsal process and a series of performances before local audiences will facilitate evaluation of outcomes 1, 2, 3. This will occur by training and refining skill sets of performers and stage management, by giving artists an opportunity to perform live theater, and by having a local, affordable option for audiences to view a unique theater offering. Have the actors, directors, and stage crew mastered the material and given competent performances? This is no small feat as exquisite timing is involved to pull this particular production off well. The staging, sets, props acquisition and management, and timing and delivery of lines, entrances and exits, are more complex than the average stage production- The artistic directors evaluate performers and production crew verbally and/or in writing for outcome. 2. Audiences will be offered an optional stage tour by an experienced cast or board member during one of the two intermissions in each performance. Outcome 3: We will conduct verbal and written surveys after the tour to ascertain audience opinion and whether the organization is meeting the goals we set for this production. We believe this tour/survey combination will be effective for outcome 3 because the audience members who choose to participate will be able to shift perspective briefly to see theater art in a way that few ever do...from behind the scenes. This invites them to move to a more intimate level of participation beyond the passive observer and into the role of active participant.

Educational outcomes: each of our six choirs will learn specific musical, dance, and theatrical material with the outcome of performing two performances. There is a structured weekly schedule of incremental instruction for each age group, one hour each week for youngest choirs, approximately two hours per week for middle and high school age choirs. Additional instructional and preparation time is employed in the week prior to each major project. 2. For each choir student to grow in understanding of singing and style by performing a variety of repertoire that will expand their knowledge base according to their age and commensurate with their skill level. Members learn how different musical styles need to be approached differently from a technical perspective. 3. For students to grow in understanding of music theory, especially harmony, through practice and performance of multi-part music which requires each member to learn to listen intently while singing in order to hear the proper balance of parts. 4. To culminate all weekly, structured learning through a concert performance, so students will profit by their hard work and preparation by presenting the results of their efforts for family, friends, and the community. 5. For the members of the choir, the family members, and the community to observe performances from staff at a very high level, and to witness what professionalism and musical expertise looks like. To increase awareness of choir families and community of the talent of the staff so that they see artistic staff experience and skills as performers and musicians and not just teachers. 6. To maintain educational and artistic offerings of the Command Performance Choirs in the region. 7. To offer accessibility to our performances for seniors in the communities that we perform. 8. Boys/Girls Club collaboration: this is beneficial to advance our mission and the mission of the Boys/Girls Club to provide arts education or enrichment opportunities youth in the region.Outcomes 1 and 2 are measured based on musical exactness, instructor feedback, improvement of singing, technique and interpretation as assessed by the instructors throughout the course. Learned material: students learn material and performance skills by rehearsing, practicing, skill building, and performing. Outcome 3 is evaluated by constant critique by the instructors during instructional and rehearsal times, and Outcome 4 is measured by conducting the concert and surveying members of the choir and the families involved to gauge artist and audience response and appreciation. Outcome 5 is evaluated by post concert assessment or survey of choir members and families. Outcome 6 is evaluated by the continuity of our program and the maintenance of artistic program offerings for regional youth. We will achieve outcome 7 by direct contact with local senior housing facilities, to personally invite them to our performances. We will engage survey methods for parents and board members to assess educational and overall effectiveness in achieving outcomes and meeting organizational goals.

Fine Arts Program staff members expect to these activities will also strengthen relationships with our residency partners, which in turn will facilitate future partnerships. We anticipate that residency participants will have a greater sense of musical history through the elementary education components of the Project TrioÆs outreach. The Fine Arts Program anticipates that area youth who participate in residencies will have a better appreciation for music through hands-on interactions with the ensemble and instruments. Project Trio will provide college students with improvisation training and instrument master classes.The Fine Arts Program will gather feedback responses from workshop facilitators to find out if the residency activities met the intended goals and/or expectations for each different demographic. These will not be surveys so much as narrative responses, giving partners a chance to provide more meaningful feedback. When we have partnered in the past, the Prairie Lakes Youth Detention facility has asked their participants to journal about their experiences; these reflections have provided a wealth of information on the impact of arts activities. The Fine Arts Program will ask Prairie Lakes Youth Detention to do the same for this residency. We will ask for this kind of feedback from College of St Benedicts/St John's University faculty whose classes take part in workshops with Project Trio, Oak Ridge Elementary teachers, Prairie Lakes Youth Detention facility, and the Saint RaphaelÆs administrative staff The easiest and most often used measure of success will, of course, be attendance numbers at residency activities and at the public performance.

Resonance inspires inner/outer connections to create sustainable impacts. A. NEEDS. An increasing number of people of Asian heritages in Minnesota, and more broadly, in many other parts of the U.S. have reported experiencing racism over the past few years as COVID-19 virus spread across the world. Because COVID-19 was unknown to the public until the outbreak in Wuhan, China, some Americans feel justified in spreading xenophobic messages that blames Asian-identifying people for this deadly virus. The anti-Asian racism we face is only escalating, as national leadership continues to use the term like China Virus,such xenophobic language against Asians. Racist actions ranging from using xenophobic and racial slurs, to refusing customer service, to outright physical attacks have also increased. To combat the racial hatred, Artists from Pan Asian Arts Alliance come together to create a new Dance Drama - Project Resonancethat showcases the cross-cultural beauties. Project Resonanceis a collaboration between African American and Asian American artists to jointly create diverse music and dance pieces to reflect COVID-19 impacts on the BIPOC communities, and to organize the ""Resonance"" dance drama, to support cross-cultural understanding and appreciation, in order to mitigate the pandemic conflicts and support intercultural harmony.

As a journey going through the Pandemic, the composer Jarrelle Barton has composed new music, to highlight the pandemic impacts on families, and incorporated 3 new Guzheng music in reflecting the composer's experience with COVID: from just learning about COVID, not paying much attention, to realizing the disaster it created; to feeling angry and frustration; then learning to adapt, and end with appreciation and hope for all of us. Then the Choreographer XueFeng Lee has taken the music and choreographed multiple dances to thread a dance drama together, to better reflect different stage of struggles among BIPOCs, and end with a positive note - as a unified message - wearing the mask to protect yourself and protect the community. Not only was the music were beautifully played, and the 22 dancers' ensemble from the Unity Dance Company clearly illustrated how pandemic progressed as virus evolved, along with sacrifices of many, to where we are now - a new normal.

Two performances will accommodate audience demand for this concert. Concert attendance will grow by 22% over 2014 holiday concert attendance.; Upon completion of this project the outcomes, which will be measured in large part by an audience survey, as well as the number of tickets sold, are expected to reveal the following: 1. Increased audience satisfaction (as compared to the 2014 survey responses) because of the addition of a second performance which will create more seating and better sight lines for the audience. 2. A 22% increase in audience attendance from the 2014 holiday concert's record-breaking attendance (more than 650 patrons), of which 10% are new audience members. 3.

At each performance of Made In Minnesota: Music of the Season"" the ticket stubs will be collected, counted and sorted to determine attendance and a breakdown of the audience by adults, seniors (age 65 and older), and students.

A summary of the data that is collected will be shared with the artistic staff and board of directors and will be used for future planning purposes.""","Specific outcomes achieved as a result of this project include the introduction of music by living Minnesota composers and poetry by living Minnesota poets to audiences and performers who did not previously know these works, the world premieres of two new songs composed for Great River Chorale, and a pre-concert conversation with composer Laura Caviani and poet David Bengtson led by Great River Chorale artistic managing director Mary Kay Geston that explored the origin and inspiration for some of the music and poetry in the concerts. This activity also provided an opportunity for the 30 people in attendance to ask questions and interact with the guest artists. Another outcome of this project is due to advertising in a new radio market (Minnesota Public Radio) in an effort to target an audience interested in classical music. Verbal feedback from several first-time attendees indicated that the MPR advertisements were the single reason they purchased tickets to the concert. Quantitative evaluation of this project was done by counting the number and type of tickets sold, as well as by assessing the manner in which audience members learned about the concerts. Combined ticket sales for both 2015 concerts were 191 seniors, 191 adults, and 42 students, equaling a total of 424 audience members. When buying advance tickets online, purchasers were asked to identify how they learned about the concerts. This data showed that our audience learned about the concerts by (in descending order of frequency) hearing about it from a performer, receiving a seasonal mailer, seeing an online advertisement, reading an article in the Saint Cloud Times, seeing an advertisement in a church newsletter, receiving an email from Great River Chorale, and by word of mouth. Written and verbal feedback from audience members and participating artists provided qualitative feedback and is exemplified in the following comments: ""Wow, your performance yesterday totally exceeded my expectations!"", ""The whole program was so wonderful: seamless transitions between pieces, interesting and varied choice of material, joyous yet professional, too."", ""Thank you for programming and conducting the exceptional Christmas Concerts this weekend."", ""A tenor in our church choir, who is not easily pleased, announced at our rehearsal that his ears were ""happy"" because of the quality of Great River Chorale singing!""",,13673,"Other, local or private",16464,,"Katherine Gardner, Connie Taylor, Dennis Douma, Maureen McCarter, Alex Hennen, Jennifer Pearson Hennen, Mary Geston, Deborah Ferrell",0.00,"Great River Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Project Grant",,"Made in Minnesota: Music of the Season",2015-12-04,2015-12-06,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Mary Kay",Geston,"Great River Chorale","4310 County Rd 137 PO Box 945","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 515-4472 ",greatriverchorale@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, Wright, Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Morrison, Todd, Douglas, Kandiyohi",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-162,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.",,2

The production will include artistic staff, approximately 80 performers of all ages, and 90 volunteers. Based on past quantitative analysis, approximately 2450 enthusiastic audience members from throughout Central Minnesota will attend these performances. Please note that this number includes both complimentary and paid audience totals. 1) Approximately 2450 adults and children of all ages, economic and cultural backgrounds will experience live theatre performances in a convenient, community environment in Central Minnesota. We estimate that 20% of these audience members will not have been to or been involved in a previous NorthStar production. 2) Ten emerging artists will gain knowledge and real life experience in all facets of theatrical production. 3) Approximately 80 volunteers will have an opportunity to engage with the arts in Central Minnesota. Approximately 60 performers will engage in a high quality theatrical arts experience that will also educate them in multiple musical and chorographic styles. 4) Twenty-five artistic and technical staff members will have collaborated to create this high quality arts experience. Quantitative evaluation number of performances, number of people attending, number of volunteers and performers. Qualitative feedback from participants, staff, audience, volunteers, recording of performances, audience surveys, printed materials document activities. Quantitative: 1. The number of performances. 2. The number of people attending each performance. 3. The number of performers participating. 4. The number of volunteers and volunteer hours garnered by each show. Qualitative: 1. Verbal and written feedback from participants, parents, volunteers, staff, board and audience member. 2. Recording of rehearsals and performances demonstrates artistic quality. 3. Printed materials and website document activities. Although we utilize surveys in our evaluations, we find them to be quite limiting. We also request narrative feedback from our participants. These open ended requests have garnered a much greater return rate then short surveys. Please see the sample survey and an example of a narrative response given by Jennifer Schreiffles.","There were 10 performances with 95 volunteers and 62 performers. Elk River Community Theatre is being revamped because of the experience all of the adult actors had in this show, causing them to want to do more “adult” theater. One mother helped make props from her hospital bed after miscarrying her eighth child, and being diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. Several NorthStar Family Theatre families are committed to ensuring that her daughters will be able to participate in the next show. Also, there is a young man who is severely autistic. He started out as a backstage hand four years ago, and didn’t really talk to anyone. Now he’s come so far out of his shell that he acted, danced, and sang a lead role. His mother cried she was so proud of him. Our stage manager has also come out of her shell. A quiet, reserved girl who never took charge, has stage managed several shows for us and has become confident. Her mother sent an email to Artistic Director, Eileen Anderson, thanking her for the wonderful change she’s seen in her daughter over the past few years. Many audience members commented on the fabulous costumes and set. They’ve commented before on the superb quality of acting and singing. Now, thanks to the Central Minnesota Arts Board grant, they thought the set and costumes were up to the level of the acting and singing. There is a DVD of the show, and there are program fliers. All of the cast members benefitted from the experience and opportunities for artistic and personal growth provided by this project. A new demographic of audience members connected with and enjoyed this performing arts experience. NorthStar's Emerging Artists Conservatory members gained valuable experience in a variety of performing and technical aspects of show production. Audience totals are carefully tracked by the Box Office Manager and are reported above. Cast, crew, and staff members are listed in the Christmas Carol program. Volunteer hour logs are maintained by our Volunteer Coordinator. This statistical information, while very important, does not represent the most significant outcome of all. NorthStar believes that the true value of any arts experience is the way in which it changes people's lives.

The projects must use practices demonstrated to be effective, be of long-lasting public benefit, include a match, and be consistent with total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plans, watershed restoration and protection strategies (WRAPS), or local water management plans or their equivalents. A portion of this money may be used to seek administrative efficiencies through shared resources by multiple local governmental units. Up to 20 percent of this appropriation is available for land-treatment projects and practices that benefit drinking water.","This targeted program will cost-share the sealing of up to 125 of 2,354 suspected high priority unused wells identified within DWSMAs, with higher priority going to larger diameter, deeper, and older wells.",,,,"LOCAL LEVERAGED FUNDS",,,"Members for Anoka CD are: Glenda Meixell, Jim Lindahl, Mary Jo Truchon, Sharon LeMay, Steve Laitinen",,"Anoka CD","Local/Regional Government",,,"In Anoka County, 330,000 residents (94% of the population) depend on groundwater for drinking water, using about 12 billion gallons annually. This use is at risk from tens-of-thousands of old wells (residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial) that are unused and unsealed. These wells pose a significant health and safety hazard to Anoka County well water users by creating a direct, unmaintained conduit that can introduce contaminants (e.g. pesticides, nutrients, heavy metals, salts, hydrocarbons, and pathogens) into groundwater supplies. Moreover, the highly permeable surficial sands of the Anoka Sand Plain are believed to be a significant source of groundwater recharge for several of the major aquifers that supply the water needs throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. As such, protection of Metro Area groundwater supplies requires protection of Anoka County recharge areas. We're helping to solve this problem by using this grant to offer cost-share funds of 50-75% to incentivize landowners to hire MN Department of Health licensed well sealing contractors to seal unused wells. Due to the large-scope of the problem, we're proposing to prioritize and target well sealing cost-share promotion. Unused wells within Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMAs), those that are deep and intersect multiple aquifers, and those that have the earliest original installation date will be targeted. DWSMAs represents about 75% of all drinking water use in Anoka county and according to a recent Anoka County Public Health and Environmental Services (ACPHES) study, at least 2,354 properties in Anoka County DWSMAs are known to have a high potential of having an unused/unsealed well. Our goal is to seal up to 125 high priority unused wells, which we expect to abate about 5% of the problem within DWSMAs. To maximize the benefits secured from limited funds, we'll promote cost-share funds to landowners primarily through targeted mailings.

Original artwork piques the imagination and attracts ongoing interest with an inviting natural area accessible to users of all abilities. There are new art features that encourage the public, especially children, to interact with nature while using or enjoying the artwork. The gateway and plaza is safe, durable, low-maintenance public art with scale, theme, and materials appropriate for use by young children year-round in a public setting. Finally, the artwork's design and theme unifies and contributes to the integrity of the area, blending the historic building and location with the unique natural setting.Measures of success for this project will include the following: as the project is implemented, we will track expenses compared to budget and the delivery timeline plus completion of all elements as defined by the contract (or as renegotiated to accommodate changing conditions). A report comparing budget to actual will enable us to measure project cost, and we can easily note whether work is completed within the agreed upon time frame. Finally, our own experiences will enable us to assess the level of customer service and satisfaction provided by the artist. Currently the Nature Explore Center is used for early childhood classes, programs, and events offered throughout the year. Although the area is open to the public, it attracts relatively few visitors beyond those involved in Handke's Early Childhood and Family programs and the surrounding neighborhood. We expect many more visitors once we have attractive, effective signage, a clearly defined entrance area, and art that entices the eye as well as the feet to enter. We will gauge and track the increase in use of the Nature Explore Center and historic Handke site, both for early childhood and other school programs, as well as general public use. Both observation and visitor comment sheets will be used to collect this information. We intend to define this unique public art as recognizable in our area as the cherry-and-spoon piece is for the Walker Art Center. When the community begins to talk about going to “the park with the jumping deer” or “the place with the heron archway,” we will know we have succeeded. Other indicators will be news coverage, people stopping to take photographs, and inquiries from other school districts, cities, and Nature Explore projects. Some of the measures will include noting visitor/community comments, installing a public comment kiosk at the site providing public users the chance to complete an evaluation/comment card at any hour of the day beyond our formal program uses, collecting news articles/reports, and logging inquiries received. Opportunities to engage students and their parents will increase dramatically with the addition of public art. We will solicit written evaluative comments as a part of our routine program evaluation at the end of every class and note student reactions in the school year following the art installation. The pieces planned for our project must withstand weather and human activity with only nominal effort and expense for maintenance. We will measure these results through maintenance records/expenses and safety issue logs.","Outcomes: 1. Entrance gateway, plaza and artwork installed. Result: Original artwork that piques the imagination and attracts ongoing interest has been installed as the entry feature to the Nature Explore Center. The plaza, a rock sit wall, and additional signage will be installed after renovations to the north wing of the Handke Center are completed, estimated completion fall 2014. Until then the area has a layer of mulch and simulated sit wall using bales. 2. The gateway and plaza is safe, durable, and low-maintenance. The theme and scale is appropriate for young children and also appeals to adults and older children. It has year round appeal and use. Result: The outcome was achieved. 3. The artwork’s design and theme unifies and contributes to the integrity of the area, blending the historic building and location with the natural setting. Result: The installation of the artwork does exactly what we set out to do. It is stunning. Measures of success: 1. We will track expenses and completion timeline. Result: The project finished on time and within the budget. 2. Use own experiences to assess the level of customer service and satisfaction provided by the artist. Result: Classes, weekdays, evenings and weekends use the Nature Explore Center regularly. The local paper provided excellent coverage of the installation and the artist with features in at least three issues of the paper. It also has been publicized in the Community Education Brochure, on the district website, through numerous e-mails, district Staff Happenings page and through an Independent School District 728 YouTube video. People drive by to view the art, they stop and take pictures and they visit the Nature Explore Center. Many positive comments have been shared about the creativity of the artist and the beauty the installation has added. While the installation was just completed in the fall, we feel the full impact of the artwork is yet to be realized. In the next year we plan to add the plaza, more signage, a place for comments. 3. Opportunities to engage students and their parents will increase dramatically with the addition of the public art. Result: We intend to continue to offer events and activities for public at the site and know the usage will only continue to grow. It has only been a few months since the installation, a successful Grand Opening was held with many community members and families participating. A Not So Scary Halloween event was held and there have been regular events on the Nature Explore Center and nearly daily use by classes. The Friends of Sherburne Wildlife Refuge received a grant to install a full-sized replica of an Eagle’s Nest on the Nature Explore Center. Part of this installation includes cross promotion of the Nature Explore Center at the Sherburne Wildlife Refuge and vice versa. We anticipate that will increase our audience and the awareness of the Nature Explore Center and the Gateway. 4. Nominal effort and expense will be required for long-term maintenance of the installation. Result: We will keep records of maintenance needed. The artwork was installed so that the archway and deer could be removed during the building renovations and then reinstalled when the remodel is completed. Engineers, architects, district Manager of Building and Grounds and the district Director of Community Engagement all worked with the artist on this plan.

This section of the park will be dedicated to educating individuals on the history of our community (past), highlighting the current cultural heritage of those within the community (present), and preserving these stories in a physical location for years to come (future). The City of Wyoming has a population of roughly 8,300 people and is within Chisago , a that is home to 58,000 people. As a city that sits fairly close to the Chisago / Anoka border, we are also well aware that there are many residents within close proximity to our community that may have interest in a project such as this. We see all of these people as potential visitors of Railroad Park. Railroad Park is a completely new feature within our community and was constructed in a place where no park or public monument previously stood. The history walk will serve as the first proper display of our cultural heritage and community history within the City of Wyoming. We believe that any increase in the number of visitors would be a positive one. A second goal of the history walk is to have visitors report feeling more informed on the local heritage of Wyoming and connected to the community as a whole. The history walk and stage are integral to the goal of connecting residents with their history and getting individuals invested in the community. We believe that we can achieve this goal by having permanent monuments which chronicle the story of Wyoming in conjunction with the events that we plan to host annually. Furthermore, these two components work in conjunction with one another. Our local events are a large draw to members of the surrounding communities, as well as our own, and will do a great job of drawing individuals to Railroad Park where they will be exposed to the monuments which describe our history.",,,,,,,,,"City of Wyoming",,"The City of Wyoming has proudly commenced construction of Railroad Park, a new and exciting addition to our community that will kick off the redevelopment of our downtown development plan. This vibrant community space is being developed in three phases as we work towards celebrating our City's rich heritage, honoring our veterans, and providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike. The first phase of Railroad Park, which construction began on in Fall of 2023, is the Veterans Memorial portion of the project. This solemn and respectful area honors the brave men and women linked to our community that served our country. The Veterans Memorial includes thoughtfully designed monuments and donation bricks which have been engraved with the names of loved ones from within the community. This is a great space for reflection and gratitude, while also serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our veterans. This space is a place for ceremonies and commemorations, such as for this past Veteran's Day. The second phase of the Railroad Park project, for which we are seeking funding, is the History Walk and Stage. The history walk will take visitors on a journey through the storied past of the City of Wyoming, founded in 1855. Informative displays will narrate the City's development, highlighting key figures and events that shaped our community. It will be both education and engaging, offering insights into the local heritage of our community. The history walk will be on level, solid ground with the informational plaques being placed at a height that is accessible to all. Additionally, we will be placing numerous benches along the short path. These benches will allow our most senior residents to take breaks, should they require any, during their time at the park. We want to ensure that all residents feel welcome and able to view this park. Furthermore, creating a natural resting place within the park will encourage those passing through to read about the history of Wyoming during their short breaks on the benches. Adjacent to the History Walk, the stage will be a versatile venue for performances, community events, and various other gatherings. Designed with modern amenities and needs in mind, the stage will host musicians, speeches, dance teams, and more as it becomes a central hub of cultural activity in the park. The City of Wyoming hosts an annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in December of each year during the winter holidays. The local clogging group and all-ages dance teams always attend this event. In past years, the cloggers have had to bring their own lighting and stage to ensure the proper acoustics are present for highlighting their performance. The new stage will provide a permanent stage which can be utilized by these groups, and many others, to carry out such performances. Railroad Park is planned to be more than just a park; it is envisioned as a dynamic focal point for the City of Wyoming. By blending historical education with recreational spaces and the honoring of our veterans, the park aims to foster a sense of community pride and togetherness. It is designed to attract residents and visitors, both young and old, while also providing a beautiful and meaningful environment for relaxation, learning, and celebration. As Railroad Park evolves, it promises to become a landmark destination, enriching the cultural and social fabric of our City.

Developed a catchment processing toolset that will enable creation of catchment based data consistent with the data already complete or under development for Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAP) studies in the basin. Reviewed metadata standards and consulted GIS specialists to start development of metadata. Created a hydrologically-conditioned 3m and 5m DEM, flow direction DEM, flow accumulation DEM, and filled DEM for remaining 23 project watersheds.

This will help identify strategically important locations for implementing erosion control and water management practices. Standardized watershed-based data products will be integrated into a web-based planning tool which will be added to the Red River Basin Decision Information Network (RRBDIN) being developed as part of the Red River Watershed Feasibility Study. The WQDSA project will develop and refine high resolution remote sensing data to effectively target locations that reduce field erosion, map areas of gully erosion and areas of concentrated flow based on subtle landscape changes. Using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology allows large scale data analysis that would be impossible to obtain using traditional land survey techniques. The WQDSA will provide public access to new geospatial data layers in an online application to effectively plan and implement activities to reduce flow and sediment loading. The WQDSA will allow users to identify the water quality problems; establish goals and objectives; reference planning documents; interactively create maps of projects for demonstration and marketing; save projects in a database for future refinement; and potentially export relevant information in a format suited to existing planning and reporting tools.

",,,,9059500,,,2.0,BWSR,"State Government","The RIM-WRP program will expand past efforts and provide important benefits to the citizens of Minnesota by restoring and permanently protecting priority wetlands and associated upland native grassland wildlife habitat via perpetual conservation easements. This funding will leverage $12.6 million of federal WRP funds for the State of Minnesota and is expected to create and sustain 343 jobs and income to local landowners, businesses and others in the state based on USDA economic estimates. With this level of funding from Outdoor Heritage Funds (OHF) we anticipate the protection and restoration of approximately 5,800 acres of new habitat under the RIM-WRP leveraging project. Since WRP receives annual appropriations from the 2008 Federal Farm Bill, this leveraging opportunity is available for at least the next five years. ","Described as the premier private lands wetland restoration easement program in the nation, the RIM-WRP partnership combines Minnesota's RIM Reserve conservation easement program and the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Wetland Reserve Program (WRP). Combining RIM Reserve and WRP allows OHF to leverage Federal Farm bill conservation dollars to Minnesota. Utilizing both programs results in competitive payment rates to landowners and sharing of the costs associated with perpetual easement acquisition and restoration by both the federal and state programs. In 2008 BWSR and NRCS accepted nearly 300 applications during a limited three week sign-up period for RIM-WRP easements on over 33,000 acres at an estimated cost of over $75 million. The applications were scored and ranked and the top scoring highest priority 98 applications were funded for easement acquisition totaling 9,775 acres. BWSR obligated $15.6 million which leveraged $21.0 million of federal WRP funds to permanently protect and restore these 98 conservation easements. Because of this partnership, Minnesota received almost 20% of the nation's WRP funds in 2008. In spring 2009, the RIM-WRP partnership held its Phase II statewide sign-up. We received over 230 applications from landowners requesting conservation easements on over 19,000 acres at a cost of approximately $70 million. The RIM-WRP partnership scored, ranked and selected the following projects for funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund based on their ability to protect and restore wetland and native grassland wildlife habitat in priority areas in Minnesota. This opportunity was offered statewide but has a priority focus in the ecological provinces of the state that have experienced significant losses of wetland and associated prairies (see map attached). It will be delivered by local NRCS staff, local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) staff and assisted by program staff from both NRCS and the Board of Soil and Water Resources? (BWSR). In addition, Ducks Unlimited contract employees and staff provided by Minnesota Waterfowl Association assist in program delivery. Since the SWCD is responsible for the local delivery of the RIM Reserve program to private landowners on behalf of the State of Minnesota, they are ideally suited to work in concert with their local NRCS staff to efficiently and effectively deliver the RIM-WRP partnership. Once an easement is acquired NRCS is responsible for maintenance, inspection and monitoring during the life of their 30-year WRP easement. The state of Minnesota assumes sole responsibility via its RIM Reserve easement once the 30-year WRP easement has expired. BWSR partners with local SWCDs to carry-out oversight, monitoring and inspection of its conservation easements.

The state of Minnesota assumes sole responsibility via its RIM Reserve easement once the 30-year WRP easement has expired. BWSR partners with local SWCDs to carry-out oversight, monitoring and inspection of its conservation easements.Final Summary:In 2008 and 2009 RIM-WRP sign-ups occurred. 100's of applications were generated that far exceeded this appropriation.63 RIM-WRP easements were acquired on 7,276 acres. $6.3 million of RIM funds from OHF were paid directly to landowners which leveraged over $13 million of federal WRP funds. Approximately 2,423 acres of wetlands and 4,853 acres of adjacent uplands have been protected.The RIM-WRP Partnership successfully demonstrated that the State of Minnesota can cooperatively work with a federal partner (NRCS) and through a local delivery system (SWCD, NRCS, DU and MWA) to implement a permanent easement protection program that yielded thousands of acres of permanently protected wildlife habitat. This significant leverage was due to the amount of easement payments, conservation plan payments, and other costs the NRCS contributed to this partnership. The NRCS made the bulk of the easement payment portion through 30-year WRP Easement acquisition, while BWSR paid an additional portion for the Permanent RIM Easement.NRCS paid approximately 75% of the restoration costs for these easements, with RIM picking up the remaining 25%. The use of NRCS Practice Standards, along with BWSR's Native Vegetation Guidelines led to very high diversity mixes being seeded. The level of wetland restoration was dependent on restorable extent that would not impact lands outside the easement area. BWSR & NRCS evaluated restoration extent during our scoring review to ensure restoration was actually feasible, then followed up with site analysis and surveys.Several easements contained CRP contracts, where looming expiration meant a risk of losing habitat that was already in good condition. We estimate that 400 acres contained CRP contracts that were set to expire. Upon execution of the WRP Easement and RIM Easement, CRP contracts were required to be terminated.Unfortunately, $1,141,926 of the original allocation was returned and the narrative below will explain the challenges that caused this to occur. Challenges included:1. A misunderstanding occurred between BWSR and LSOHC staff related to the transferring of one OHF appropriation to a future year appropriation. BWSR was under the false assumption that at the time of the final encumbrance date of the ML 2009 appropriation that we could just roll the balance to the ML 2010 appropriation. Once it was discovered that this was not possible we were already past the encumbrance date for this appropriation and could not make any new encumbrances to utilize the balance of funds.2. The State of Minnesota converted from an old financial system (MAPS) to a new system (SWIFT) during the period that this appropriation was open. This conversion caused a mis-allocation of ML 2009 RIM-WRP funds to ML 2010 RIM-WRP. Once this issue was discovered it was again past the date to make encumbrance changes to the ML 2009 appropriation.3. After the encumbrance deadline for these funds had passed a few landowners canceled their RIM-WRP applications. We were unable to reallocate those funds to additional applications since the encumbrance deadline date had passed.As this was the first appropriation that BWSR received from the OHF many lessons have been learned.One lesson learned with this first year of OHF appropriations was that we had one easement that took an extra long amount of time to be acquired due to a number of title issues. In future appropriations we have moved problem easements to newer appropriations in order to speed up the final reporting time period and allow enough time to get the title cleared.",2009-07-01,2012-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Tim,Koehler,BWSR,"520 Lafayette Road North ","St. Paul",None,55155,"(651) 297-1894",kevin.lines@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Mahnomen, McLeod, Norman, Pennington, Pope, Rice, Steele, Swift, Swift",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/reinvest-minnesota-wetlands-reserve-program-acquisition-and-restoration,,,,

The goal of the RIM-WRP Partnership is to achieve the greatest wetland functions and values, while optimizing wildlife habitat on every acre enrolled in the partnership. The RIM-WRP partnership enables Minnesota to leverage $1.4 of federal WRP funding for every state dollar available through RIM Reserve. This appropriation request of $6.895 million from the Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) will leverage $9.653 million in WRP funds to Minnesota. We expect to enroll approximately 46 permanent conservation easements totaling 4,620 acres of wetland grassland wildlife habitat complexes. This will enable the RIM-WRP partnership to restore approximately 230 previously drained wetland basins totaling 1,525 wetland acres, and the restoration of native grassland prairies on approximately 3,095 acres. Since WRP is an annual funded program through the 2008 Federal Farm Bill, this leveraging opportunity is available to Minnesota for at least the next four years. ","Minnesota's original wetland and prairie landscapes have been lost at an alarming rate over the last century and a half of European settlement. Minnesota's prairies once comprised nearly 20 million acres, extending from the borders of Iowa and Wisconsin in the southeast to North Dakota and Manitoba in the northwest. Less than 1% of this native prairie remains. Minnesota has lost an estimated 42 percent of its original 16 million acres of wetlands to drainage or fill activities. The loss of wetlands is most severe in the prairie regions of the state. Approximately 90% of prairie wetlands have disappeared and in the southwestern area of the state losses are as high as 99%. Prairie wetlands are particularly important for migratory waterfowl. Although the North American pothole region contains only about 10% of the waterfowl nesting habitat on the continent (including a significant portion of Minnesota), it produces 70% of all North American waterfowl. This extensive loss of Minnesota's prairie and wetland habitat has lead to the decline of many wildlife and plant species originally abundant in the state. Of the nearly 1,200 known wildlife species in Minnesota, 292 species, or approximately one-fourth, are at risk because they are rare; their populations are declining or they face serious risks of decline due to loss of habitat. The RIM-WRP Partnership, the premier private lands wetland restoration program in the nation, is a local-state-federal partnership delivered locally by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) and the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) to ensure the RIM-WRP Partnership is a longstanding and successful program in Minnesota. In addition, this partnership is possible through collaboration among many local, state and federal partners including NRCS, BWSR, local SWCDs, Ducks Unlimited (DU), the Minnesota Waterfowl Association (MWA) and the United States Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS). The RIM-WRP Partnership will protect and restore an estimated 230 wetland basins totaling 1,525 wetland acres and associated restored native grassland prairie on 3,095 acres in 46 permanent conservation easements totaling 4,620 acres. These restored wetlands and native grassland complexes will provide critical habitat for migratory waterfowl and other wetland dependent wildlife species in Minnesota. Wetlands provide habitat for fish and wildlife, including threatened and endangered species. They improve water quality by filtering sediments and chemicals, reduce flooding, recharge groundwater, protect biological diversity, sequester carbon and increase recreational opportunities. ","Described as the premier private lands wetland restoration easement program in the nation, the RIM-WRP partnership combined Minnesota's RIM Reserve conservation easement program and the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). Combining RIM Reserve and WRP allowed OHF to leverage Federal Farm Bill conservation dollars to Minnesota. Utilizing both programs resulted in competitive payment rates to landowners and sharing of the costs associated with perpetual easement acquisition and restoration by both the federal and state programs.This opportunity was offered statewide but had a priority focus in the ecological provinces of the state that have experienced significant losses of wetland and associated prairies. It was delivered by local NRCS staff, local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) staff and assisted by program staff from both NRCS and the Board of Soil and Water Resources (BWSR). In addition, Ducks Unlimited (DU) contract employees and staff provided by Minnesota Waterfowl Association (MWA) assisted in program delivery. Since the SWCD is responsible for the local delivery of the RIM Reserve program to private landowners on behalf of the State of Minnesota, they were ideally suited to work in concert with their local NRCS staff to efficiently and effectively deliver the RIM-WRP partnership. Once an easement is acquired NRCS is responsible for maintenance, inspection and monitoring during the life of their 30-year WRP easement. The state of Minnesota assumes sole responsibility via its RIM Reserve easement once the 30-year WRP easement has expired. BWSR partners with local SWCDs to carry-out oversight, monitoring and inspection of its conservation easements.Final Summary:In 2010, 2011, and 2012, RIM-WRP sign-ups occurred. 100's of applications were generated that far exceeded this appropriation.46 RIM-WRP easements were acquired on 4,166 acres. $5.2 million of RIM funds from OHF were paid directly to landowners which leveraged over $9.8 million of federal WRP funds. Approximately 1,416 acres of wetlands and 2,750 acres of adjacent uplands have been protected.The RIM-WRP Partnership successfully demonstrated that the State of Minnesota can cooperatively work with a federal partner (NRCS) and through a local delivery system (SWCD, NRCS, DU and MWA) to implement a permanent easement protection program that yielded thousands of acres of permanently protected wildlife habitat. This significant leverage was due to the amount of easement payments, conservation plan payments, and other costs the NRCS contributed to this partnership. The NRCS made the bulk of the easement payment portion through 30-year WRP Easement acquisition, while BWSR paid an additional portion for the Permanent RIM Easement.NRCS paid approximately 75% of the restoration costs for these easements, with RIM picking up the remaining 25%. The use of NRCS Practice Standards, along with BWSR's Native Vegetation Guidelines led to very high diversity mixes being seeded. The level of wetland restoration was dependent on restorable extent that would not impact lands outside the easement area. BWSR & NRCS evaluated restoration extent during our scoring review to ensure restoration was actually feasible, then followed up with site analysis and surveys.Several easements contained CRP contracts, where looming expiration meant a risk of losing habitat that was already in good condition. We estimate that 450 acres contained CRP contracts that were set to expire. Upon execution of the WRP Easement and RIM Easement, CRP contracts were required to be terminated.BWSR and the NRCS are committed to seeing all restorations through to ensure all sites provide beneficial habitat. Sixteen easements have restorations fully completed. Due to delays with easement processing, restoration was also delayed in several cases. Thirty easements still have some level of restoration yet to occur. BWSR is held to the statutory requirement that requires restoration of the easements we acquire. This restoration includes establishment of acceptable vegetation, if the current cover does not adequately meet site goals.",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Tim,Koehler,BWSR,"520 Lafayette Road North ","St. Paul",None,55155,"(651) 296-6745",tim.koehler@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Big Stone, Blue Earth, Clay, Freeborn, Grant, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, Mahnomen, Marshall, McLeod, Meeker, Murray, Norman, Otter Tail, Pope, Rice, Rice","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/reinvest-minnesota-wetlands-reserve-program-acquisition-and-restoration-0,,,,

",,"The RIM Wetlands Partnership Phase VI restored and protected almost 1,400 acres of previously drained wetlands and associated upland grassland wildlife habitat complexes via 15 permanent conservation easements.  The goal of the RIM Wetlands Partnership was to achieve the greatest wetland functions and values and optimizing wildlife habitat on acres enrolled. Wetlands and adjacent grasslands provide habitat for waterfowl, pheasants, deer and non-game species, some that are threatened or endangered.  Minnesota’s prairies once comprised nearly 20 million acres, extending from the borders of Iowa and Wisconsin in the southeast to North Dakota and Manitoba in the northwest.  Less than 1% of this native prairie remains.  Minnesota has lost an estimated 42 percent of its original 16 million acres of wetlands to drainage or fill activities.  The loss of wetlands is most severe in the prairie regions of the state.  Approximately 90% of prairie wetlands have disappeared and in the southwestern part of the state losses are as high as 99%. Prairie wetlands are particularly important for migratory waterfowl.  Although the North American pothole region contains only about 10% of the waterfowl nesting habitat on the continent (including a significant portion of Minnesota), it produces 70% of all North American waterfowl.  This extensive loss of Minnesota’s prairie and wetland habitat has lead to the decline of many wildlife and plant species originally abundant in the state.  Of the nearly 1,200 known wildlife species in Minnesota, 292 species, or approximately one-fourth, are at risk because they are rare. Their populations are declining or they face serious risks of decline due to loss of habitat.  The RIM Wetlands Partnership held meetings regularly to provide program oversight and guidance and to establish payment rates for upcoming sign-ups. The RIM Wetlands Partnership used the GIS Wildlife Habitat Potential Model developed by the USFWS Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET) to evaluate each easement application on its potential to restore wetland functions and values along with optimum wildlife habitat benefits.  A RIM Wetlands Partnership statewide sign-up was held in 2015. All applications were scored and ranked using the RIM Wetland Restoration Evaluation Worksheet.  The worksheet evaluated which projects provided the greatest wetland functions and values and optimized wildlife habitat on the selected and enrolled acres.  The highest scoring applications were selected for funding.

However, the state has lost half the wetlands that existed before European settlement and these drained wetlands have not been mapped as part of the National Wetlands Inventory. This appropriation is enabling efforts by Ducks Unlimited to provide a complement to the National Wetlands Inventory by identifying and mapping drained wetlands that have the potential to be restored to provide their various benefits once again. This data will be used to prioritize wetland restoration in the Red River Valley and the Prairie-Hardwood region of South-Central Minnesota. Mapping is taking place in 170 townships in Clay, Mahnomen, McLeod, Meeker, Nicollet, Norman, Renville, Sibley, Wilkin, and Wright counties. Overall Project Outcome and Results The Restorable Wetlands Inventory (RWI) is a complement to the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) completed in late-1980s by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. An administrative decision was made developing the original NWI not to map wetland basins in Minnesota identified as completely drained. The number and acreage of completely drained wetlands that were not mapped by the NWI process is significant. In Pope County alone, 25,000 acres of completely drained wetland acres were missed in the NWI mapping process - nearly 19% of the total wetland resources in that county. The RWI project identifies and digitizes the completely-drained depressional wetlands that were not mapped by the NWI process. Restorable wetlands mapping is based upon protocols established for NWI allowing seamless integration of the two datasets. The 2009 Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund appropriation provided the last project funding needed to complete, remaining RWI mapping for the glaciated, tallgrass prairie region of Minnesota - an additional 6,120 square miles. The mapping occurred in approximately 178 townships in Clay, Mahnomen, McLeod, Meeker, Nicollet, Norman, Renville, Sibley, Wilkin, and Wright Counties. In the Red River Valley Complex, over 132,000 individual restorable wetland basins were identified and mapped. In the Prairie-Hardwood Complex, almost 131,000 individual restorable wetland basins were identified and mapped. As in previous phase of the mapping project, partners included the LCCMR, Ducks Unlimited, Inc., and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The photo-interpretation and digitization work was contracted to the GIS Lab at South Dakota State University. The attached ""Restorable Wetlands Inventory: Final Status Map"" displays the counties and townships that were completed under the M.L. 2008, M.L. 2009, and prior appropriations.

Our project and parcel prioritization criteria places an emphasis on Important Bird Areas (IBA) and priority areas identified by the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan, within the 8 most northwestern Minnesota counties associated with the Tallgrass Aspen Parklands region, the Prairie Parklands region, and the northwestern edge of the Eastern Broadleaf Forest.","Audubon Minnesota will advance conservation in northwestern Minnesota with the third phase of Restoring and Enhancing Minnesota's Important Bird Areas (IBA). This Program will continue to expand the Outdoor Heritage Funds legacy of restoration and enhancement of Minnesota's natural heritage. Our Program places an emphasis on Minnesota's IBAs as they are essential to maintaining healthy and diverse bird populations in the state. The Tallgrass Aspen Parklands (TAP) region alone supports over 279 bird species (143 regular breeding species, 22 permanent residents, and over 114 migrants or winter residents) including sandhill cranes, waterfowl, northern harrier, yellow rail, and greater prairie chicken. Gray wolves, moose, elk, fisher, and the American badger are among other wildlife found in the region. The Prairie Parklands supports 140 regular breeding species, 23 permanent residents, and over 115 species that do not breed in the region but depend on critical habitats for migration. The Prairie Parklands is important to 139 species of greatest conservation need (SGCN). This geography contains the meeting point of three of the four ecological sections in Minnesota creating an array of habitats in close-proximity. While enhancing and restoring habitats within IBAs is a primary goal, we recognize that some of the greatest conservation opportunities exist within the agricultural matrix of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan due to the loss of grassland and wetland habitats in recent years. In phase three, we will expand our habitat focus to include two Prairie Parkland/Eastern Broadleaf Forest counties (Mahnomen and Norman) and the northwestern counties that compose the TAP (Polk, Red Lake, Pennington, Marshall, Kittson, Roseau). We will expand the available habitat for priority bird species by utilizing a variety of activities: native seed enhancements, management of brush and tree species, invasive species control, as well as prescribed fire. Projects will be targeted and selected based on a prioritization model that focuses on core habitat, conservation estate, acres of remnant habitat, and habitat condition. Restoration and enhancement projects will include a site assessment, including a rapid analysis of habitat suitability for priority species and habitat condition as well as documentation of prescribed habitat management actions (photo points) and recommended follow up actions for future management. We will continue to work closely with local U.S. Fish and Wildlife staff to identify habitat needs on public lands in these key geographies. Audubon will write Habitat Management Action Plans, get necessary permits, and complete enhancement and restoration work to create better habitat for target species. Audubon, with assistance from the MN Natural Resources Conservation Service, will reach out to private landowners and prioritize Wetland Reserve Program Easements (WRP/WRE) that have Wetland Reserve Plans of Operations. These plans are road maps for habitat work for each specific easement. Audubon will assist with habitat identification and prioritization, develop Habitat Management Action Plans for a select number of easements, and conduct habitat work. These partnership efforts will deliver effective means of enhancing and restoring ecologically significant land for the benefit of birds, wildlife, and people of northwestern Minnesota.",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Alexandra,Wardwell,"Audubon Minnesota","2355 Highway 36 West, Suite 400 ",Roseville,MN,55113,"(218 687-2229x11",alexandra.wardwell@audubon.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Mahnomen, Norman, Polk","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/restoring-and-enhancing-minnesotas-important-bird-areas-phase-3,,,,

In this report, I will share this project's evolution, the factors that have shaped the course it has taken, and the profound impact it is poised to make on the Minnesota community. At the project's inception, my vision was clear: to empower Minnesota African descendants of slavery with tools to help them explore their family histories, discover more about their pasts, and share these stories with others in the community. This was an ambitious undertaking to believe that I could complete in one short year full of learning. However, my ambitions driven by a desire to bridge historical gaps, empower individuals through knowledge and access, and foster cultural preservation are what pushed me to start this project. I had many unforeseen challenges as I set out to scope out the project. One of my first learnings was how much I'd promised before truly scoping out what was feasible with the resources and time I had allotted. As the project plan began to take shape, it became evident that there were significant blind spots that required immediate attention. My first crucial realization was that I needed a comprehensive understanding of the community's needs and aspirations to create a project that truly served its purpose.

This funding year has been a journey full of key learnings for the Rooted Archives project from its initial conception to its current Phase 1 state. Breaking out the project into phases and giving it the time needed to plan for success allowed me to implement strategy and think about how this project could live beyond a one-time endeavor and become a movement. It allowed me to dream and have conversations with expert community builders about my hopes for community and pushed me to think beyond what I had initially believed was possible. The planning phase was an accomplishment in which I took much input from community members to build something they would deem worthy and community-centric. Outreach efforts were designed to establish trust, foster open dialogue, and ensure that the project remained rooted in the needs and aspirations of its intended participants. The outreach phase of the project was planned and executed to ensure I had a comprehensive understanding of the community's perspectives, challenges, and desires. Several strategies were employed to connect with community members: The project team organized meetings with the Minnesota African descendants of slavery community. These meetings included representatives from local community organizations, historians, genealogy, and individuals with a vested interest in preserving their family histories. These discussions provided valuable insights into the community's expectations and concerns. To cast a wider net and gather quantitative data, I developed a survey for all those who expressed interest in the project. This allowed community members to share their thoughts, preferences, and expectations regarding the Rooted Archives project. Questions focused on interest in genealogy, the perceptions of DNA testing, and the desire for artistic archiving. Recognizing the significance of an online presence and the need to spread awareness, the project created and maintained an active online presence through acquiring a dedicated project website and social media tags. These channels served as hubs for information dissemination and community engagement through data collection surveys. To ensure a nuanced understanding of individual experiences and motivations, I also conducted one-on-one interviews with select community members. These interviews provided qualitative data that complemented the quantitative insights gained from surveys. The Phase 1 goals were about understanding the community's needs, interests, and aspirations. I used a combination of quantitative data, qualitative insights, stakeholder feedback, and tangible outcomes to evaluate the success of Phase 1. I was able to lay a strong foundation for the subsequent phases of the Rooted Archives project.

Sediment delivered from bank erosion threatens fish and mussel reproduction. The Rum River is a state designated Outstanding Resource Value Water and Wild, Scenic and Recreational River with eighty actively failing riverbanks in Anoka County alone. Project partners will address these in a phased approach utilizing CWF, LSOHC, and CPL funds. LSOHC funds will be used for projects that primarily enhance habitat, including for species in greatest conservation need.","Eighty sites spanning seven miles of actively eroding riverbank were identified along the Rum River in Anoka County, an Outstanding Resource Value Water and Wild, Scenic and Recreational River. Identified bank failures contribute an estimated 7,838 tons of sediment to the river annually, which decimates littoral transitional habitat, smothers fish spawning areas, compromises mussel reproduction and vigor, and reduces success of predatory game fish species due to increased turbidity. The Anoka Conservation District (ACD), along with Anoka County and landowners, proposes to systematically stabilize and enhance these damaged riverbanks. In total this undertaking will require a projected $14 million in public and private funds, drawing upon several grant funding sources, and spanning multiple grant cycles. An inventory of active erosion sites was finalized in March of 2019 by ACD (https://www.anokaswcd.org/images/AnokaSWCD/Reports/Inventory/Rum_River_Erosion_Inventory_Final.pdf). Based on erosion severity, sites were assigned one of three stabilization approaches, which align with one of three state funding sources. Seventeen tall, severely eroding riverbanks require armament, have a primary benefit of water quality improvement, and will be addressed with CWF funding. Twenty-one shorter, moderately eroding riverbanks can be corrected utilizing bioengineering approaches, have a primary benefit of habitat enhancement, and will be addressed with LSOHC funds. Forty-two short, moderately eroding riverbanks can be corrected utilizing cedar tree revetments and will be addressed with CPL funds. This grant request is for ACD, in partnership with Anoka County, to enhance three to seven sites over three years that can be addressed using bioengineering approaches such as bendway weirs and root wads that produce in-stream habitat for fish, turtles and amphibians, native plantings and staking that produce riparian habitat above the water, and light toe armoring and minor grading that make these habitats traversable by wildlife. Sites will be prioritized considering linear feet of habitat enhanced, cost-benefit analysis, landowner buy-in, and accessibility. Phase-1 projects will enhance up to 2,250 feet of habitat, and reduce sediment loads to the Rum River by up to 630 tons/year. Riverbank stabilization design and installation processes can present hazards to some wildlife; namely nearshore mussels, amphibians and reptiles during construction, and reptiles and amphibians that are unable to safely traverse the post-construction stabilization materials and plantings. As part of this project, ACD intends work with experts in the field to conceptualize, design and implement approaches to best abate these hazards, with particular attention on species in greatest conservation need (SGCN) such as state-listed mussels and Blanding's turtles. The Rum River is identified as a key river stretch for habitat and species richness for SGCN through Anoka County. Large portions of critical streambank transitional habitat that these species depend on are gone already, with more lost each year. The number of optimal sites for habitat enhancing bioengineering approaches is limited, and will continue to diminish if left unchecked. Inventory work by ACD shed light on the severity of the issue and the scale of the opportunity to take corrective action.",,2020-07-01,,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Chris,Lord,"Anoka Conservation District","1318 McKay Dr. NE, Suite 300 ","Ham Lake",MN,55304,"(763) 434-2030",Chris.Lord@anokaswcd.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Anoka,"Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rum-river-wildlife-and-fish-habitat-enhancement-using-bioengineered-bank-stabilization,,,,

Providing habitat for SGCN across two ecological provinces, the Rum also supports game fish and waterfowl. Land conversion, drainage, increased runoff, accelerated bank erosion, and invasive species threaten ecosystem stability of the Rum River corridor. SWCDs, counties, watershed groups, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, and The Nature Conservancy have come together to enhance walleye and smallmouth habitat and riparian ecosystems over the next 5 years by reducing erosion, installing structure, restoring hydrology, and enhancing native vegetation throughout this critical corridor.","The Rum River Corridor is critical for habitat and species richness for SGCN, and is included in the mapped Wildlife Action Network in Minnesota's Wildlife Action Plan. High development pressure along the Rum River, historic drainage system alteration, increased stormwater runoff, sedimentation, invasive species, and hydrologic changes all threaten the stability of this key wildlife corridor. While the Rum River continues to support a good fishery, the aforementioned threats have accelerated bank erosion and habitat degradation, undermining this robust ecosystem. Fortunately, opportunities abound to enhance smallmouth bass, walleye and other game fish habitat as well as riparian ecosystems by reducing erosion, installing structure, and enhancing native vegetation. To enhance the habitat value of this critical river corridor, we're partnering with Anoka County commissioners and staff, Rum River watershed organizations and partnerships, Isanti and Mille Lacs SWCDs, Isanti County, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, and The Nature Conservancy. We've also engaged DNR East Metro Fisheries as an advisor for in-stream fish habitat components. ACD will be the grant recipient and project lead. This proposal improves wildlife habitat throughout the Rum River corridor in three categories: streambank and in-channel stabilization; in-stream fish habitat with a focus on game fish; and riparian forest, wetland, and prairie enhancement in the Shoreland Zone. Projects will span from the Mille Lacs Lake outlet to the confluence of the Rum and Mississippi rivers in the City of Anoka. We anticipate enhancing 1,200 feet of streambank, 600 feet of in-stream fish habitat, and 45 acres of wetland habitat including wild rice on tribal lands. Phase 1 work to address actively eroding Rum riverbanks in Anoka County with wildlife-friendly bioengineering techniques is well under way. Phase 2 will expand the eligible area of this work to include all of the Rum River Corridor. Each stabilization project will include discrete elements designed solely to enhance habitat. Eighty actively eroding streambanks in need of shoreline stabilization and enhancement were inventoried in Anoka County alone. With guidance from DNR, in-stream features such as rock vanes and woody overhangs will be installed to provide holding and resting areas for game fish and forage in stretches of the river where structure is lacking. These features will increase habitat and fishing opportunities in areas not being enhanced with bank stabilization structure. Approximately 40 miles of shoreline are publicly owned along the Rum River where fish habitat enhancement will be prioritized, improving opportunities for quality shore fishing. Riparian habitat enhancement will extend throughout portions of the 2,500 acres of tribal, publicly owned, and permanently protected lands in the Shoreland Zone to enhance the connectedness and function of the corridor for all wildlife. The type of enhancement will be based on the habitat types present (forest, wetland, and prairie) and conservation need, including rare species. Enhancing each of these areas will help ensure this valuable corridor remains functionally intact for all types of wildlife from fish to migrating birds, and will improve recreational quality on a Wild, Scenic, and Recreational River.",,2023-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Chris,Lord,"Anoka Conservation District","1318 MCKAY DR NE UNIT 300 Suite 300","Ham Lake",MN,55304,7634342030,chris.lord@anokaswcd.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Isanti, Mille Lacs","Northern Forest, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rum-river-corridor-fish-and-wildlife-habitat-enhancement-phase-2-0,,,,

Up until now, conservation efforts in the St. Croix Basin have often been lacking focus and coordination between jurisdictions has been inadequate. Through this appropriation, the St. Croix River Association is establishing and coordinating a partnership effort between local, state, and federal government units and non-profits to develop a joint plan that will identify and prioritize areas for conservation implementation and guide efforts over time to improve overall watershed health in the St. Croix Basin. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSPortions of the St. Croix River Basin are now on the impaired waters list and rare landscapes, plant, and animal communities are threatened by development pressures. Multi-jurisdictional conservation efforts are complex and often lack focus and coordination in the St. Croix Basin. This project was a means to streamline and focus conservation efforts on areas with the most critical need within the Basin. By linking local, state and federal governmental units, citizen-led non-profits, and design & technical expertise in an effective, well-coordinated partnership, this project set water quality, habitat, and recreational priorities; identified specific management practices in priority locations; and implemented on-the-ground projects to promote land and water stewardship to enhance and protect the very special place the St. Croix River Basin is to live, recreate, and work.

Up until now, conservation efforts in the St. Croix Basin have often been lacking focus and coordination between jurisdictions has been inadequate. Through this appropriation, the St. Croix River Association is establishing and coordinating a partnership effort between local, state, and federal government units and non-profits to develop a joint plan that will identify and prioritize areas for conservation implementation and guide efforts over time to improve overall watershed health in the St. Croix Basin. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSPortions of the St. Croix River Basin are now on the impaired waters list and rare landscapes, plant, and animal communities are threatened by development pressures. Multi-jurisdictional conservation efforts are complex and often lack focus and coordination in the St. Croix Basin. This project was a means to streamline and focus conservation efforts on areas with the most critical need within the Basin. By linking local, state and federal governmental units, citizen-led non-profits, and design & technical expertise in an effective, well-coordinated partnership, this project set water quality, habitat, and recreational priorities; identified specific management practices in priority locations; and implemented on-the-ground projects to promote land and water stewardship to enhance and protect the very special place the St. Croix River Basin is to live, recreate, and work. The St. Croix Action Team, consisting of multiple partnerships throughout the Minnesota side of the St. Croix River Basin, worked diligently throughout the life of the project to produce a strategic prioritization of resources based on water quality, habitat, and recreation.

The Wetland Management Program was initiated through this appropriation and Shallow Lakes Program staff continued their valuable assessments and habitat project work.","ML19 Accelerated Shallow Lake and Wetlands Enhancements Phase 11 accomplishments include engineering and construction of individual projects, a stand-alone engineering project, specific wetland enhancement actions by the Roving Habitat Crew, and Wetland Management Program and Shallow Lakes Program assessment and project work. Engineering and Construction Projects - Projects were undertaken to provide shallow lake and wetland enhancement totaling 871 acres through the engineering and construction of water control structures and other infrastructure at six project sites. The DNR cooperated with Pheasants Forever in restoring a Douglas County wetland. No acres are being reported by the DNR for this restoration, as Pheasants Forever will report them. Stand-alone Engineering: Shallow lake and wetland projects can be complex and require detailed surveys and engineering. Stand-alone engineering projects provide the initial work to guide future construction, establish detailed cost estimates, and identify potential issues. One project in Rice County had this work done through this appropriation. Work is already underway to use this information to move ahead with construction. Management Actions: Active management of shallow lakes and wetlands to enhance habitat involves a number of activities that promote management of vegetation (removal of undesirable vegetation or promoting desired vegetation), management of water levels to promote a desired condition, or removal of detrimental fish species. Nine projects totaling almost 7,500 acres were conducted and involved prescribed burning of wetlands, removal of woody vegetation, and herbicide applications. Roving Habitat Crews: Roving Habitat Crews are teams of highly trained staff who are equipped to perform habitat enhancement projects on public lands. Funding from this appropriation was provided to the Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew to enable it to perform wetland enhancement activities through the addition of two roving crew members and their associated costs for three fiscal years. Typical wetland enhancement activities undertaken by Roving Habitat Crews include prescribed burns of wetlands, removal of invasive species and trees, and support of shallow lake drawdowns. Of special note, Roving Habitat Crews provide the critical ground support staff for aerial cattail spraying. The Roving Habitat Crew supported by this appropriation was active in this work and the resulting acres will be reported in the Final Report for the appropriation that funded the helicopters and herbicide costs. This work would not be possible but for the critical role played by the Roving Habitat crews. Wetland Management Program/Shallow Lakes Program: The Wetland Management and Shallow Lakes Programs are single-focused programs that perform habitat assessments to identify wetlands and shallow lakes with poor habitat and in need of management, identify type of management possible, then implement management. Finally, follow up assessments are done to evaluate management success and formulate adaptive management strategies. These specialists also work with NGOs to implement management.

Fifty acres of wetlands were restored in Cottonwood County. Stand-alone Engineering - Shallow lake and wetland projects can be complex and require detailed surveys and engineering. Stand-alone engineering projects provide the initial work to guide future construction, establish detailed cost estimates, and identify potential issues. Sixteen projects had stand-alone engineering and ranged from simple feasibility studies to in-depth surveys and plan development. Nine of these projects were in the Prairie Ecosection, 2 in the Forest-Prairie Ecosection, 2 in the Metro Ecosection, 2 in the Northern Forest Ecosection, and 1 in the Southeast Forest Ecosection. Management Actions - A drawdown of Gilfillan Lake in Blue Earth County enhanced 210 acres. The property manager reported a very positive vegetation response following this drawdown. A large prescribed burn of wetlands at Beaches WMA in Kittson County resulted in 1,766 acres of enhancement. Burns of this size are possible through the use of aerial ignition (lighting fires with helicopters). In Washburn Lake in Aitkin County 21 acres were enhanced through the seeding of 1,064 lbs. of wild rice.

They are also a safety factor in that our gallery manager will only have to climb on a ladder and change lights every 6 years! (2) LED Lights are less expensive to operate. The Alliance will save 5% on electrical costs once they are installed. (3) LED lights provide the best natural light for viewing exhibits. Our Artists are looking forward to this museum quality light, and the Alliance expects that the number of exhibitors will increase by 5%. (4) The quality of light will also be an inducement for attracting quality traveling exhibits. The Alliance expects to schedule one traveling show each year. (5) The Alliance expects that an increase in both exhibitors and traveling exhibits will increase the number of people who visit the gallery. Daily attendance is tracked by the gallery manager.While the board of directors and the gallery committee meet monthly and may make adjustments to the programs and events, they, along with staff, evaluate all aspects of the operation in the spring prior to approving the programs, goals, and budget for the forthcoming year. During the year and before submitting a grant application to Central Minnesota Arts Board, the grant writer reviews prior applicable grant requests to ascertain if stated outcomes were achieved.","Energy and financial savings for the Gallery and Gift Shop: LED lights statistically use 75% less electricity, last 7500 hours which is approximately 25 times longer than traditional incandescent light bulbs. Because these lights were installed in a new building/gallery, we are unable to do a cost comparison from previous year's electrical costs, but we haven't had to change any light bulbs yet. We have heard many compliments from artists and visitors on the nice lighting especially on cloudy days and in the shorter days of winter when we rely on the lights to see gallery and gift shop art pieces. An anticipated outcome that was stated in the original grant request was that we would increase our artists/exhibitors over the previous year due to the museum quality lighting. Our artist numbers this year over last are: Fiscal Year 2014: 227 adults, 90 youth; Fiscal Year 2013: 198. Also, we have seen an increase in visitors to the Gallery and Gift Shop: Fiscal Year 2014: 5453 adults, 455 youth; Fiscal Year 2013: 2660 adults, 259 Youth.

Cultivate 3 achievable of digital programs to share with the larger MN community Present 5 programs in the greater MN - outside of Twin Cities Area The Impact goals of these programs are: For Somali cultural art forms to be passed to a new generation of Somali-American youth by bringing the content of the artwork in the Somali museum's extensive collection to life through storytelling, performances, demonstrations, and other hands-on learning activities. For young Somali-Americans to gain appreciation and knowledge of their cultural roots and build relationships with older generations through learning about Somali art. For non-Somali Minnesotans to gain understanding of the state's Somali communities through exposure to Somali culture and art. For the Somali Museum to be seen as a welcoming and lively space where all Somali people can come together to learn about and celebrate their shared culture, experience and identity Descriptions for some events: Poetry in Nature Series: The Poetry in Nature Series is an inspiring artistic initiative that brings together poets and nature enthusiasts to explore the intrinsic connection between Somali poetry and the natural world. In the serene setting of our museum garden or local parks, participants will immerse themselves in the beauty of nature while drawing inspiration from its elements to create poetic masterpieces. This series fosters a deep appreciation for nature's wonders and encourages the preservation of Somali poetic traditions that often celebrate the harmony between humans and the environment. Women's Dance Class: Our Women's Dance Class is a dynamic and empowering program that celebrates the art of traditional Somali dance. Led by skilled instructors, this class offers women of all ages and backgrounds a safe and supportive space to learn and practice the graceful movements and rhythmic expressions of Somali dance. Through dance, participants not only connect with their cultural heritage but also cultivate a sense of sisterhood and empowerment, embracing the strength and resilience embodied in Somali dance. Weaving Classes: Our Weaving Classes offer a captivating journey into the time-honored art of Somali weaving. Led by skilled artisans, participants will learn the intricate techniques and patterns that define traditional Somali weaving. As they create their own woven masterpieces, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of weaving in Somali heritage. This program fosters creativity, preserves traditional craftsmanship, and encourages intergenerational knowledge transfer. Storytelling: Walk with the Ancestors: ""Walk with the Ancestors"" is an enchanting storytelling event that transports audiences back in time to experience the wisdom and heritage of our Somali ancestors. Accompanied by engaging storytellers, participants will embark on a captivating journey through mythical tales, historical narratives, and personal anecdotes that shape the identity of the Somali community. This program celebrates the power of storytelling to preserve history, instill values, and foster a sense of shared cultural identity. Schools: Travel Exhibit: Our Travel Exhibit program brings the wonders of the Somali Museum directly to schools, libraries, and community centers. Through this mobile exhibition, students and community members have the opportunity to explore a diverse array of artifacts, artwork, and cultural displays that showcase the richness and diversity of Somali heritage. This initiative fosters cultural exchange, promotes understanding, and enables individuals to connect with the Somali culture in their own familiar spaces. Educational Somali Content: With the Educational Somali Content program, we aim to create a comprehensive and accessible resource that offers in-depth insights into Somali history, language, traditions, and contemporary life. This online platform will feature engaging videos, articles, and interactive materials that cater to diverse learning styles and age groups. By providing authentic educational content, we contribute to greater cultural awareness and appreciation both within and beyond the Somali community. Aqal (Nomadic Home) Building Educational Viewing: The Aqal Building Educational Viewing offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the iconic nomadic Somali home known as Aqal. Through interactive exhibits and guided tours, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the nomadic lifestyle, its architectural ingenuity, and the cultural significance of the Aqal within Somali communities. This program fosters cultural preservation and understanding of the nomadic heritage that is integral to Somali identity. Programs in Schools, Libraries, and in the Community: This initiative expands our reach to bring dynamic cultural programs directly to schools, libraries, and community venues. With a focus on inclusivity, we offer a diverse range of engaging workshops, performances, and presentations that cater to the unique interests and needs of each setting. By connecting with different audiences, we aim to foster cultural understanding and appreciation among individuals from all walks of life. 5 Programs Outside the Metro: With the ""5 Programs Outside the Metro"" initiative, we seek to extend the impact of our cultural programs to communities beyond the metropolitan area. Through strategic partnerships and collaborations, we will bring our most compelling programs, such as storytelling events, traditional dance performances, and art workshops, to underserved regions in Minnesota. This effort promotes cultural accessibility and ensures that the rich heritage of the Somali community reaches all corners of the state. Artists Collab: The Artists Collab program is an exciting initiative that fosters collaboration between Somali artists and creative minds from various cultural backgrounds. This project will result in dynamic artistic expressions that blend diverse perspectives and celebrate the shared humanity among artists. By encouraging cross-cultural collaborations, we strive to create transformative art that challenges stereotypes, bridges cultural divides, and enriches the artistic landscape of Minnesota.","Achieved proposed outcomes",,,,,,,1.71,"Somali Artifact and Cultural Museum",,"Within this plan, we will develop a series of cultural events (plays, speakers, presentations) that can be delivered live before an audience for educational purposes and/or videographed for preservation. These productions will amplify the custodians of Somali culture and will allow Somali artists to share their collective work, knowledge, and wisdom with the Somali and non-Somali communities. The majority of the events will be performed publicly and digitally recorded for future use and for preservation. Others will be filmed privately in a studio and will be edited and presented in a digestible way to the public. In addition to offering these productions to the public, we will also engage in a project that serves to preserve much of what has been undocumented to date within the Somali community. We will create a digital library of these performances and events for the purposes of preservation and to allow us to have a library of recordings that can be archived and used at future public events or used as part of our educational programming with school children. Finally, a written transcript, text, essay or explanation will also be produced for each performance. These texts will be produced in conjunction with the event or performance and will also be used for preservation, archival and educational purposes. These texts will explain in more detail what the audience is seeing or the history behind the performances.

10031096,Spirited,2022,22000,"MN Laws 2021, First Special Session Chapter 1, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 8 (d)","2022-2023 Cultural Heritage and Community Identity Grants - Winter 2021","These are the outcomes we aim to accomplish: 1. A documentary that is linguistically and culturally accurate and representative of the Hmong experience. This can be measured by the approval of a Hmong language consultant and positive feedback from community members through the feedback screening. 2. A community screening and discussion that has a positive impact. This will be measured by surveys that measure self-reported levels of personal and community impact. 3. An Impact Campaign plan. This will be measured by a complete impact kit that includes a curriculum, resources, swag and more focusing on Hmong shamanism. It will also include a 12 month plan for more screenings and discussions about this topic.","Team Update - From late Spring 2022 to end of year (December 2022), the Impact Campaign team identified collaborators and partners for the project. We engaged in an introductory meeting with leaders at institutions like the Shaman and Herb Healing Center, Wilder Foundation, Hmong Museum and BlueCross BlueShield of Minnesota. The team grew with the new addition of an Impact Co-Producer, Tou Ger Lor, a Master Shaman who is supporting the development of the Shaman Kit and Curriculum for the campaign. Feedback Session - We held our first feedback session on Saturday, September 10th, at In Progress (St. Paul). The team invited a handful of trusted community members to watch six scene drafts from the film. We engaged them in a three hour conversation to pull feedback to further develop the film in a culturally competent way. A lunch was served and participants received stipends for their participation. The conversation was robust and very helpful to the production team to further develop the film. Social Media - The team created social media platforms to enhance our digital presence and community engagement and reach. Social media pages include Facebook public page, Instagram, Tik Tok, and Twitter. As we are in the quiet phase of our campaign, there has been little activity with the social media pages. We anticipate active engagement when the campaign is publicly launched in mid-2023. Impact Campaign - We developed our goals for the impact campaign both with these funds and beyond. We started the groundwork for the learning materials through conversations with our new Impact Co-Producer. We also purchased learning items that would be included in the impact kits. This includes joss paper, boat money, incense, twine, yarn, stickers, and more. Community Screening - We purchased several items for the screening in advance, wanting to use our funds before the end of year. These items include plates, utensils, napkins, drinks, and brochure holders. Community Engagement - As part of this project, to build up interest in the impact campaign, Joua and Billy have been engaging in community speaking and screening opportunities to start introductory conversations about Hmong spirituality. By doing so, we are garnering interest, support and a following for the Impact Campaign. ; Outcome 1 - Documentary We did not receive the full requested funding to assist with completing Spirited, the feature documentary. We were able to find other funding from other sources, so while the film is not yet completed, it has made significant strides this year. We have had various progressing versions of the film that we screened for feedback at various points. The community has responded with overwhelmingly positive responses (below). In March 2023, we were invited to screen a sample of our film to the public for feedback and sit in a panel discussion to talk more about the film and impact campaign post-show with Theatre Mu at Mixed Blood Theatre. An estimate of about 75 people were in attendance at the post-show screening and panel discussion, with an estimated 90% being Hmong American. In April 2023, Public Functionary hosted a feedback screening for Spirited. The audience of about 30 was 99 percent non-Hmong. A majority of the group was BIPOC. In September 2023, two partner organizations hosted feedback screenings for us: Kartemquin Films and Docuclub Minnesota. The first event garnered about 15 participants who offered great constructive feedback about how to strengthen the film itself. The second event garnered about 20 in person attendees and 8 virtual attendees. Outcome 2 - Community Screening and Discussion The Shaman Education Event took place on Sunday, November 12th, 2023 at Saint Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNN). 77 people registered via Google registration, and an estimated 60 people attended the event with 90% in the age range 18-44 years-old, 68% women, and 92% of Asian/Asian American descent. 71% identified as community members and a mixed percentage of shamans, students, parents, educators, and healthcare providers. The 3-part event started with a short clip screening highlighting Joua's documentary-in-progress, Spirited, a photography series Joss Trilogy, and pilot series episode Modern Shaman - all creative media works about and inspired by Hmong shamanism. There was a break and lunch intermission for audiences to mingle, submit questions for the Q&A session. Lastly, Joua moderated a panel discussion with Modern Shaman creator, Gregory Yang, and shamans Billy Lor and Sally Chang. The conversation focused on storytelling and spirituality, representation, and the ways Hmong traditions are shifting in America. Following the discussion, the panel answered questions submitted by the audience. Audience members were able to review and take home the draft curriculum and kit. Audience members were encouraged to submit feedback about the event and draft curriculum and kit per an evaluation link and QR code. Attendees told us how surprised they were that we were giving them these kits and how thankful they were for the resource. Many shared that they had struggled to find information about Hmong spirituality, and this was a valuable kit for them to learn from and share with others. Outcome 3 - Impact Campaign Plan The team built relationships with key community leaders and organizations who have vocalized a lot of support for the project. Many invited the team to participate in community events. These events included: Speaking: Shamanism Workshop at University of Wisconsin Stout, about 50 attendeesSpeaking + Tabling: Hmong New Year celebration in Menomonie, WI, about 150 attendees, Speaking: A panel discussion hosted by Hamline University's Hmong Student Association, about 20 attendees Screening The Twin Cities Media Alliance PROLOG group, about 10 attendeesTabling and showcasing the impact kit materials at the Hmong Qeej Festival, estimated 1000 attendees. We have been in conversations with various organizations who are eager to partner with us to host future events upon the completion of the film. These organizations include but are not limited to Asian Media Access, the Hmong Shaman and Herbal Center, Hmong Museum and Transforming Generations. Local Hmong charter schools have expressed interest in partnering to bring the learning materials to their schools. National organizations like the Center for Asian American Media and ITVS have education wings and have expressed interest in helping us get the materials to a national education audience upon broadcast. The impact Campaign team posted occasionally, pro-capacity, throughout 2023. As of November 2023, Spirited has gained 105 followers on Facebook and 231 followers on Instagram with 1,045 post engagement and 8,865 post reach consisting of audiences from midwest (i.e. MN, WI), west coast (i.e. CA, WA), east coast (i.e. NYC, MA, NC) and international regions (i.e. Thailand, Laos). Demographics of actively engaged audiences via social media report 75% women and 25% men, with 80% between the age of 25 to 44 years old. Additionally, the Spirited email list has grown to 79 subscribers. Changes We spent less on the Impact Kit than anticipated. The extra funds were moved to cover food and event expenses for the Shaman Education Event. This includes paying an artist stipend to Cha Lor to showcase her photography inspired by Hmong spirituality, to be included in the conversation about Hmong spirituality and storytelling. It also allowed us to spend a little bit more money on food to create a sample of a spiritual tray that people could grab treats from. We were also able to buy some portable containers to help package the food individually to decrease the spread of COVID or other illnesses. We also moved the remaining $228.62 to pay our Producer/Director Joua Lee Grande, as encouraged by the MHC earlier this year. She was willingly the least paid team member as the lead of the project.

Engaged community members will be encouraged to become ambassadors for increasing awareness of the barriers to access to book publishing in a white-centered industry. With the Black Literary Clubs being community-informed, we will also work to empower the community to facilitate them. The number of events and activities that are developed in collaboration with the community will be one way to measure success. Social media and website analytics will be used to measure engagement, as well as You-Tube channel views (our video content will be shared on cable TV/Speak MPLS, which is in-turn posted on our You-Tube channel). If we accomplish community-driven plans for various Black Joy Literary Clubs, we hope to see the following outcomes: * Intergenerational clubs and/or clubs for specific age groups * Writing clubs for all skill and ability levels * Reading clubs for all skill and ability levels * Options for clubs in-person and online * Building more relationships with local Black authors, artists, and scholars * Collaborations with schools, libraries, and community centers * Social media followers and engagement (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) * Strive Publishing website engagement * Growing list of community resources * Poetry and short stories added to the Strive Short Story Dispenser Whatever Black Joy Literary Clubs the community develops we are committed to supporting them and even duplicating them for greater reach throughout the state.","There are three literary groups currently meeting: 1. Women's Circle Book Talk - The facilitator, Angie Lamb-Onayiga, is the co-founder of the Sista Co-op, which is the retail space that the Strive Bookstore is located within. She saw the interview that Oprah recently did with Viola Davis about her new memoir, Finding Me, and she asked if I could order it for her. Since Strive Publishing is also a bookseller now, I ordered the book for Angie. She was so happy to receive the book and had been talking to friends about it, who also wanted the book. That is when I told Angie about the Black Joy Literary Groups and asked her if she wanted to facilitate a book club. She named it the Women's Circle Book Talk, posted it on social media and immediately got 14 Black women to sign up. The grant funds are used to purchase the books for the women (we had to limit the number of participants to 10). The Women's Circle Book Talk meets the 4th Saturday of the month (June and July to discuss Finding Me by Viola Davis; August and September to discuss Just as I Am by Cicely Tyson). The women in the Women's Circle Book Talk group range in ages from late-thirties to early-sixties. 2. Black Joy Book Club 1 - The facilitator, TeNaya Rhines, is younger (maybe mid-thirties) and communicates mostly by text, online, and social media. I met TeNaya at a community event at the North Regional Library. She seemed excited about books, so I struck up a conversation with her and mentioned the Black Joy Literary Clubs idea. TeNaya was overjoyed to begin planning a club because as she put it, ""I never read a whole book before!"" Here is what TeNaya posted on Facebook and Instagram (minus the cute emojies): Excited about Black Joy Literary Groups... I AM!I will be hosting a small not your average book club for upto 5-7 black women who live in the minneapolis/st.paul surrounding area. About Me: I'm new to reading for enjoyment and I love it. I enjoy reading self-help / self awareness books and I'm interested in reading, adventure, mystery, scifi, biography and poetry. I am open to reading and exploring black authors that are not local as well. Let's get lost or found in a good book together while enjoying some good food, drinks and discussion! Come join me in exploring local black authors in black spaces! This book club will do fun activities like: * create and/or choose a local artist to make a few images for our book club SWAG! * have some of our meetings in Black Owned businesses! *make snack menus and curate cocktails/beverages that match our book/chapter or theme. * as your host I will do monthly giveaways/raffles within our group that match our book or theme. * host a local author to do live readings/book signing and talk about their book and creative process! * donate a couple of our book club meeting times to volunteer for a local black charity or cause. * Any other activities, events, or travel will depend on the book(s) we are reading and willingness to participate. Are you interested... know anyone would be..? Inbox me! -- Mrs.TeNaya N. Rhines There are five women currently reading the book published by Strive Publishing, Blend In or Fade Out by local Black author Colnese Hendon. TeNaya kicked off the book club at For Real Coffee House in George Floyd Square, which is owned by the author, Colnese Hendon's son, and where she had the official book launch on May 25th. From then on, the meetings have been held over Zoom every Sunday at 2:00 when two to three women join as they are able. In between meetings, TeNaya sends encouraging texts to keep reading. TeNaya is an artist and is working on creating a logo for the group or she may hire an artist to do it. The grant funds will pay for TeNaya's monthly stipend of $100, plus supplies, author honorarium, and artist fees. The author has been invited to join the group once the book is read and TeNaya is planning to make it a celebration for the author. So far, TeNaya has received $100 for facilitating the online meetings. 3. Author Read Aloud in the Garden - The Green Garden Bakery and Sumner Olson Library hosted this read aloud. We inquired with Sumner Library in north Minneapolis to see if they would be interested in hosting a Black Joy Literary Group. They hosted author, M'lina Mangal in the garden last summer when we had a local business sponsor a book giveaway, and the families enjoyed it so much they had been asking when they would have another reading. Everyone decided we should give the families what they've been asking for and give them another garden reading with a book giveaway. We collaborated in two planning meetings, and held the author read aloud on the evening of August 10, 2022. ; As a result of this funding we have provided the following free literary events for the Black community: - The Women's Circle Book Club began in June 2022, focused on reading memoirs, and facilitator volunteered to keep meeting with 6 - 8 members. - The Black Joy Book Club began in April 2022 and facilitator continued through June 2023 and she is now considered ways to keep the book club members reading. - There were four local author visits: one memoir author, one romance author, one young adult author, and one children's book author. - There was a family literary event with an author that was also a performance artists. - The final offering is a writing workshop series for advanced writers. The main goal was to engaged community members in the literary arts. I wanted to encourage community members to become ambassadors for increasing awareness of the barriers to literary arts and work to empower folks to plan for and facilitate Black literary clubs and workshops. I engaged with folks at community events, met with many colleagues from the literary community, and asked for ideas in implementing literary groups. There was always excitement and enthusiasm in discussions about organizing Black Joy Literary Clubs. I have spent countless hours sharing with others the history of Black literary societies, which inspired me to apply for this grant. Even though most of my discussions did not lead to organizing a club, I believe that by sharing and reminding folks of our rich history of Black literary societies, I have planted seeds that will grow in the years to come. Moreover, I have deepened relationships within the community and folks know that I am open to collaborating with them at any time to help elevate Black literary events. The Black Joy Literary Clubs that grew out of connections and discussions have become a meaningful part of the community and they exemplify the ""joy"" in engaging with Black literature. Consider the Women's Circle Book Club. This group of women are mostly middle-aged social workers who deal with trauma in the community in some form or another. When they come together to discuss the memoirs of inspiration Black women (Viola Davis, Cicely Tyson, Betty Shabazz, etc.) they are making connections and having discussions that validate them on a personal level. There is joy and power in coming together as Black women, self-led, in a beautiful Black-own space (The Sistah Co-eop). The Black Joy Book Club also attracted Black women, a younger generation of women (mostly in their 30s) who were not in the habit of reading. The facilitator chose the first book and the members voted on the next books to read. The first two books were by local authors because the facilitator wanted to have the authors (Colnese Hendon, Devone Cosey) come in and discuss their books with the club after each reading. After that, the group chose to read Born a Crime by Trevor Noah, with the dream of some day getting to meet him. From there the group began to enjoy audio books, reading and discussing articles and mixing up how they communicated (in-person, online, text, GroupMe app). Family engagement was another ""joy"" that came from meeting with folks in the local literary scene. Every time I'd meet a new author or have an opportunity to catch up with authors I knew, I would talk about the Black literary societies and how we could come together like days of old. Through those discussions I was able to schedule a few family author events. We hosted Maya Marchelle at the Sistah Co-op for a reading and musical performance of the song she wrote to go along with her children's book, which families enjoyed. We hosted two more family author readings at Strive Bookstore; one with children's book author M'lina Mangal and another with young adult author, Ari Tison. These events brought in families from the near north side along with downtown Minneapolis. The one writing workshop that came out of all the meetings and discussions is Onyxsphere. I was finally able to connect with and organize with two well known folks in the Black literary scene. Pamela Fletcher and I had been planning a writing workshop for months that for various reasons did not work out. However, when I finally met and got to know Arleta Little, while discussing possibilities for collaborating on a Black Joy literary project, we discovered with both now Pamela. The outcome of the three of us discussing and planning is Onyxsphere, a writing workshop for Black women with advance writing skills. I had high hopes for offering writing clubs for all skill and ability levels, which did not pan out but I am amazed at what did come together with Pamela and Arleta. With the exception of writing clubs for all skill and ability levels, I have achieved all of my goals: * Intergenerational clubs and/or clubs for specific age groups * Writing clubs for all skill and ability levels * Options for clubs in-person and online * Building more relationships with local Black authors, artists, and scholars",,,,17016,,"The Strive Advisory Committee: Mary Taris Mark James Patricia Welch Kevin Jenkins Donna Gigery; Mary Taris, Founder/CEO Mark James, Advisory Board Member Patricia Welch, Advisory Board Member Kevin Jenkins, Advisory Board Member Donna Gingery, Advisory Board Member",,"Strive Publishing",,"Strive engages with the community in creating Black Joy Literary Clubs that empower voices from the Black community to rise above stereotypes, demographic disparities, and negative media portrayals.

Secondarily, we will prioritize Linwood Lake (within 1% of state nutrient standard) and Coon Lake (priority protection lake). These lakes also have shoreland inventories. Linwood is upstream of Martin Lake. Both are upstream of the regionally significant Sunrise and St. Croix Rivers. This application is phase 2 of a program started with a 2023 CWF grant.

However, much remains unknown about how these crops will be impacted by factors such as climate change and invasive species. Through this appropriation, researchers at the University of Minnesota's Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve will study how irrigation, fertilization, and climate warming impact perennial grassland biofuel crops in terms of yield, carbon sequestration, plant biodiversity, water quality, and susceptibility to invasive species. Findings will be used to develop methods for optimizing biofuel production, carbon storage, and habitat restoration.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Minnesota's perennial grasslands produce considerable biomass that could become a valuable resource for producing renewable energy. How might Minnesota's capacity to produce biomass for biofuels be impacted by climate change and anticipated mitigation practices? We explored the impacts of warming, fertilization, and irrigation on biomass production at the Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. Our major overall finding is that high diversity mixtures of prairie perennials provided the best combination of biomass production, invasion resistance, carbon storage in soil, and response to climate warming of all the biomass crops we tested. Specific findings from the Climate Experiment include:Compared to low diversity mixtures of prairie plant species, high diversity mixtures produced much more biomass when experiencing normal weather, were more resilient to the stress of warming, and had their biomass production increase the most from warming.High diversity mixes enhanced ecosystem services more than low diversity mixes by sequestering more carbon in soils and being less prone to invasion by non-native species.Warming inhibited seed establishment. This could reduce invasions by non-native species, but might threaten establishment of native prairie restorations.The Fertilization & Irrigation Experiment found:Fertilization had similar impacts across all species mixtures.Moderate fertilization and irrigation increased productivity, with the largest effects in the Panicum, Panicum+Grasses, and High Diversity plots.Overall findings on plant invasion showed:Invasion is inhibited by higher diversity species mixtures.A potential biofuel crop, Miscanthus (as a sterile hybrid), was ineffective at producing biomass in central Minnesota, at least on sandy, drier soils. It had detectable, but moderate invasion into native prairies.This research has been documented in one publication. Two manuscripts have been submitted and are either in review or under revision. Another manuscript is in preparation. We anticipate additional publications will follow. In 2012, the education programming Cedar Creek reached 6,619 users, including K-12 students, teachers, and the general public. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The data from these studies will be included in Cedar Creek's database and made publicly available on the Cedar Creek website. Researchers around the world access and use the data on this site for diverse ecological analyses in many research areas including, among others, biodiversity, invasion, and climate change studies. The results of these studies are integrated into the educational programming and outreach at Cedar Creek. In 2012, 1,777 K-12 students participated in on-site programs. 1,062 K-12 students participated in off-site programs. Furthermore, 120 K-12 teachers participated in professional development opportunities at Cedar Creek and in their schools. At the university level, 845 students and faculty have made use of Cedar Creek programs, courses, meetings, and workshops both on and off-site. There have been 1,070 visitors to the experimental sites where this study took place. One journal article that documents findings from this study has been published. See: Isbell, F., 2013, Nutrient enrichment, biodiversity loss, and consequent declines in ecosystem productivity, PNAS, 110: 29.

The final outcome, ""the tour is known to be available to the community"" is a work in progress as we continue to spread the word and develop interest in the tour. Initial project administration completed as described. Development of story with supporting maps and documentation completed but took four months instead of the initial planned 3 months and did not start until month 3 of the project. These delays were caused simply by the availability of the contractor for this work. Final design and interim peer review completed once the narrative and supporting documentation were completed. We did not anticipate the special requirement to have the narration reviewed by the MN Historical Society. This process added about two months to our timeline, partly because when the tour was reviewed, the Historical Society asked for some changes to the narration that were unanticipated. While, in the end, this was a valuable and important step for us, it did move out the completion of the project by an additional two months.

","The Step Into Your Light Project (TSYLP) united Hmong women and girls of all ages to engage in movement and dance. This may seem like a common activity in some cultures, but for a community that has excluded dance and movement from its traditions, it is significant. We conducted eight cultural dance workshops, offering more than eight hours of dance, movement, and education, which influenced 85 adults, 24 youths, and four elders, totaling 113 dancers! Additionally, we rented space at a local Hmong dance studio and sourced our sweets from four local Hmong businesses. The objective of this initiative was to encourage Hmong women elders affected by the pandemic to engage in physical activity and socialize. However, as the grant was primarily active during the winter and spring, the availability of outdoor spaces for hosting workshops was limited. Despite having a turnout of 113 dancers, only four of them were non-English speaking elders. Nevertheless, our Facebook reels have successfully reached an audience of 4,120 people, generating 926 engagements. An unexpected success of this project was a change in mindset regarding the exclusion of dance and movement from Hmong culture. As a community, we have overlooked the therapeutic benefits that these movements can have on the mind, body, and soul. There has been a lack of spaces where people of different generations can connect and have opportunities to interact with other cultural communities. Despite only being able to finish a portion of the grant, I measured the success of the project through the radiant smiles of the elders, their expressions of gratitude (as well as that of the teachers), and the consistent return of the dancers every week. The participants shared numerous compliments on how much they enjoyed the opportunity to move freely, make mistakes and build confidence, receive physical exercise, and most importantly, make new connections and escape the confines of their homes.

Between the two cohorts, LatinoLEAD staff in collaboration with leaders across sectors revised the curriculum to better meet the needs of the Latine community. The current cohort has had very positive feedback on the programming to date. Here are written comments from one of our participants:Good morning, esteemed guests, faculty members, and my fellow graduates. It is an honor to stand before you today as we celebrate our graduation. I want to express my deepest gratitude to all those who have supported us throughout this transformative journey. This includes everyone here, those who are not here with us now, and those who are with us in spirit. As I reflect on my experience in the program, three words come to mind: discovering, empowering, and healing. Each of us has had a unique path, and I have been moved by the vulnerability and strength displayed by my fellow cohort members as we created and shared our stories of self. Growing up as a member of the Latino community, I have faced numerous challenges. From discrimination to incarceration, hurdles in accessing capital to being affected by the housing crisis, I have encountered my fair share of adversity. I've had to navigate collection calls, immigration discussions within my family, and the pain of witnessing friends and family deported or self-deported. Moments of fear, frustration, and grief have left their mark. You might look at someone who has faced these obstacles and wonder how they haven't already quit and become totally resigned. The LatinoLEAD ALP revealed a truth that I had with me all along but was undistinguished, I learned the importance of taking risks despite the environment and persevering even in the face of failure. These experiences have fueled my determination to bring about positive change, ensuring that future generations do not suffer unjustly. One of the invaluable lessons we learned in this program is the Social Change Ecosystem Framework. It has allowed us to identify the unique roles we can play within the broader ecosystem. For me, one role I aspire to is that of a healer. I believe in the power of empathy, compassion, and addressing the underlying wounds that plague our communities. Healers are conscious of the various layers, wounds, and traumas that need attention at multiple levels (individually, organizationally, and societally) and understand their interconnections. Healers recognized the importance of holding space for our wounds while also offering approaches to transform them into wisdom and strength. They refocus our attention on accountability and repair while guiding us through moments and spaces of deep vulnerability. Looking at the incredible group of graduates before me, I am in awe. We represent a tapestry of backgrounds, spanning all sectors from non-profits to government, education to the private sector. We come from different walks of life, diverse countries, and varied immigration experiences. We are beautiful, and we are powerful. Together, we embody the potential to become the transformational leaders our communities need. As we move forward, let us remember that our impact extends far beyond our individual spheres of influence. Together, we can collaborate, support one another, and ignite a collective fire that will blaze a trail of progress. However, this will require us to take risks, to connect, to work, to listen, to share, to demand, to show up. Personal narratives have the power to foster social change. By sharing our stories and values, we can disrupt the dominant narrative that often marginalizes and silences us. Our stories can challenge stereotypes, shift perspectives, and inspire action. As we step into our roles as leaders, let us be intentional about amplifying diverse voices. Let us create platforms and initiatives that empower others to share their narratives and experiences. By doing so, we not only uplift individuals but also contribute to the creation of a more inclusive and equitable society. In conclusion, I implore you, my fellow graduates and all those present, to embrace risk, fail beautifully, and repeat. Take that leap of faith, knowing that failure is not the end but a stepping stone on the path to success. Develop a callus for failure. Let us be unafraid to learn from our mistakes and persevere in the face of adversity. Keep moving forward. In our pursuit of social change, let us be the change-makers, the bridge-builders, and the healers, weavers, experimenters, frontline responders, visionaries, builders, caregivers, disrupters, storytellers, and guides our communities need. Together, we can create a future where everyone's voice is valued, where justice and equality prevail, and where no one is left behind. A future of equity, liberation, justice, and solidarity.

CAPI will also add and recruit a Volunteer Advisory Committee of 15-20 representatives from refugee support organizations, municipal staff, and community leaders. New Refugee Artists - CAPI will identify and promote at least 5 new refugee artists/vendors leading up to and during the event. This will encourage the growth of the arts as well as small businesses in the community. Day of Event Attendance - We are estimating 2023 attendance at 3,500+. Due to COVID, we were not able to host in person event in 2021, and 2022. Conversation Circles - We want refugees to leave this event feeling welcomed and empowered to action. At least 15 members of various refugee communities will participate in Conversation Circles and at least 3 members will record their story. CAPI will use these stories for advocating and supporting communities in building their political power. ","Twin Cities World Refugee Day will be on Sunday, June 11th from 12PM-5PM at Centennial Park in Brooklyn Center. Significant progress has been made in the preparation and planning for this event: Community Advisory Board: The TCWRD Advisory Board has been launched with the purpose of grounding the planning and preparation for this event in the refugee and immigrant community. 5 organizations (African Economic Development Solutions, Alight, Advocates for Human Rights, Southeast Indian Asian Family Wellness, and Huellas Latinas) have received $1,000 stipends for their participation and will receive an additional $1,000 stipend (from additional funding) at the end of the event. This board has met each month since January and has been tasked with the following: A) Story Telling Design- members work together to design a Story Tellingconcept for the TCWRD event that honors and celebrates Twin Cities refugee communities; B) Refugee Artists and Performers- members assist with identifying and finding refugee artists and performers to participate at the TCWRD event through performing arts, selling goods, exhibiting art, speakers, etc.; C) Community Marketing- members market the TCWRD to their communities - spreading awareness and encouraging attendance to the event. This is the first time that CAPI has been able to provide financial support for this important groundwork and we believe in the value of compensating these organizations and individuals for the valuable work they are doing in their communities.Attendance: We anticipate that the number of attendees will be lower than originally expected. The high volume of attendees of the last in-person TCWRD event was largely attributed to being located at Loring Park in Minneapolis, which is a very highly trafficked area. We intentionally moved this event to Brooklyn Center due to the large immigrant and refugee communities who have been this place their home. Although we anticipate a lower number of overall attendees than our original proposed outcome, we believe that we will see a higher attendance from refugee and immigrant communities - the very communities we are intending to celebrate.Conversation Circles: Due to the feedback and planning received from the Community Advisory Board, the Conversation Circles have changed to include 2 panels that will be facilitated during the event. The first panel will consist of established leaders and entrepreneurs in the refugee community and the second panel will be formed by refugees who have arrived recently. Both panels will focus on promoting conversations around the event theme, ""Our Journey, Our Story"". Panelists will share about their personal journey as a refugee coming to MN and building a life here, reflecting on how the unique journeys intertwine to become our story as a community. ; *Proposed Measurable Outcome Section Locked* Twin Cities World Refugee Day, held on June 11th, 2023, was a huge success at which we saw the community coming together for a day of celebration, cultural showcase, and connecting with their diverse neighbors. We estimate that around 1,500 community members came through and were able to experience over 13 live stage performances, two panels focused on the refugee experience, diverse food trucks, sports activities, and more. We created space for nearly 50 community organizations and local artisans to come out and share the work they do and the art they create - from schools with specialized support programming for refugees/immigrants to an onsite healthcare bus giving free screenings; from Afghan refugee women artisans showcasing their work for the first time to immigrant owned catering companies showcasing their treats - we were able to platform local artisans for exposure and provide resources to all who attended. From start to finish the event was bustling with activity, proving that events like this are of high interest and value to the community. Some of the primary outcomes we noted include: Community Advisory Board The TCWRD CAB consisted of 5 organizations (African Economic Development Center, Advocates for Human Rights, Alight, Huellas Latinas, and Vietnamese Social Services who stepped in to replace SEWA). Representatives from these organizations joined us monthly for CAB meetings, discussing event progress, connecting us to performers/organizations, and overseeing the creation of the Conversation Circle Panels. This years model went extremely well, with the board actually helping implement these choices rather than just advise, and they were able to put together 2 well rounded panels. In a debrief, CAB committee members all indicted they would be willing and excited to return for future years planning as they saw this event having important connections to all the work their organization do. Conversation Circles With the assistance of the CAB committee, we held 2 panels uplifting the voices of 7 community members. The focus of the panels was the refugee experience and how being a refugee themselves or coming from a family of refugees has affected their perspectives on home, community, and their personal and professional journeys. The panels were led be CAB committee members, and after the discussions panels were opened to the participating community members to ask any questions they may have. These panels created a platform for voices and created an opportunity for education and connection for everyone who participated. Refugee Performers + Artists We had 13 scheduled live stage performances, 5 solo and 8 groups composed of over 60 individuals, representing refugee communities from South East Asia, Liberia, Somalia, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Indonesian, Nigeria + other countries. The artists came with a variety of experiences, some who are known in the cities for their work and others whose first live performance was at the event, featuring performances of traditional dance, spoken word, band performances, and solo singers. Multiple of the performances, including the dance groups from Nigeria, Indonesia, and southeast Asia took time to teach and lead the community through some of their dance styles from the stage, creating interactive teaching of traditional art for all who stepped up. While we had originally had an Afghan group scheduled to perform who fell through before the event, we were approached by representatives of the Afghan Refugee community that had dancers on site, and we were able to create a live space for these dancers to have an impromptu performance, bringing the stage to 14 live showcases. We also had the opportunity to platform a young muralist Lina Al-Sharefree, a soon-to-graduate Afghan student who is pursuing a career in the arts. We worked with her to plan out and bring live painting to the event, giving her experience and exposure for her future endeavors. Day of Attendance Through using greeters with attendance trackers, we calculate that we had around 1,500 individuals on site throughout the day of the event. We had anticipated higher numbers in our original proposal, but we had based those numbers on our 2019 event in Loring Park. As this event came after a multiple year hiatus, and moved to a location with much less organic foot traffic, we saw a lower number of participants. This being said, due to the size of the event location it felt full, busy, and well-attended; vendors who tabled/had food trucks indicated they were impressed and satisfied with the numbers at the event. By bringing the event to Brooklyn Center, we are establishing the event with city looking to invest in this type of celebration annually, as well as bring it to a location that is more accessible refugee populations. After seeing this years success and taking in feedback for outreach, we anticipate even higher rates of attendance for future years. Sending out participation surveys, responding vendors have reported high satisfaction, averaging a rating 4.6-5 out of 5 across categories (5 being extremely satisfied). Vendors indicated they felt their tables were well attended, they liked the location, and they would like their organization to participate in the event in the future. The survey responses included multiple organizations that indicated they would like to to be even more involved in the process in the future, either on the planning committee or bringing performers/panelists. We were also approached by a number of organizations day of and in the weeks prior and post-event asking to be invited for next years event. We had purposefully limited spots this year as we were returning after a hiatus to a new venue, but after this year's experience and seeing the venue in action we anticipate a large spike in the amount of vendors in attendance for 2024.

Right now, our concert tickets range from ""free will"" to $10. Twin Ports Choral Project wants to encourage audience commitment and a higher ticket price is difficult for many of our patrons to handle. As an organization, we've realized over the past two years that the most important part of our mission is to share our music with the Twin Ports Community. 2) Created a funding calendar for the organization, including an annual fund and a fundraising event. Our fundraising event will begin in Fall 2018 as a collaboration between local restaurant and Twin Ports Choral Project.

The data behind the National Wetlands Inventory for Minnesota is now considerably out-of-date and a multi-phase, multi-agency collaborative effort coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is underway to update the data for the whole state. This appropriation is being used to conduct the second phase of this effort, which involves updating wetland maps for 13 counties in east-central Minnesota surrounding the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area, evaluating imagery sources and mapping technologies for use in future mapping of agricultural regions of the state, and acquiring additional data needed to update wetland maps for southern Minnesota. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Updated wetland maps were created for 13 counties in east-central Minnesota (7,150 square miles), encompassing the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Wetlands in Minnesota were originally mapped by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the early 1980's as part of the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI). Although still widely used for land use planning, wetland permit screening and natural resource management, the original maps have grown increasingly out-of-date due to landscape alterations over the years. The data created for this project marks the first significant update to the NWI in Minnesota. The new maps are much more accurate, capture more detail, and provide more information than the original maps. Besides showing the location, size, and type of each wetland, the updated map data includes information on the wetland's landscape position and hydrologic characteristics, which can be useful in assessing the benefits provided, such as water quality improvement, flood storage, and fish and wildlife habitat. Updating the NWI is a key component of the State's strategy to monitor and assess wetlands in support of efforts to assure healthy wetlands and clean water for Minnesota. The DNR is planning to complete the NWI update for the entire state by 2020. Accomplishments for this project phase also include acquiring high-resolution, spring leaf-off digital aerial imagery for 23,900 square miles of southern Minnesota, acquiring field validation data for southern Minnesota, and developing wetland mapping procedures for the agricultural region of Minnesota. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Imagery acquired for this project is available to the public through the Minnesota Geospatial Information Office (MnGeo): http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/chouse/wms/geo_image_server.html. The MnGeo imagery service receives about one million page requests per month for the southern Minnesota imagery. This is the first publicly available leaf-off imagery data for southern Minnesota since 1991. The updated wetland map data are available through an interactive mapping application on the DNR's website at: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/wetlands/map.html. The data can also be downloaded, free of charge, for use in geographic information system applications through the DNR's data deli at: http://deli.dnr.state.mn.us/. The data will eventually be incorporated into the national ""Wetland Mapper"" application maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The wetland mapping procedures and accuracy results for the 13-county updated NWI data are presented and discussed in a manuscript that has been submitted to the journal Wetlands, a publication of the Society of Wetland Scientists (SWS). Information from this project was also presented at the SWS annual conference in Duluth, MN in 2013. In addition, a press release was distributed regarding the updated NWI data and the story was published on several online news websites. Researchers at the University of Minnesota Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis Laboratory conducted an extensive study of the effects of digital elevation model (DEM) preprocessing and mapping methods on the accuracy of wetlands maps in three different physiographic regions of Minnesota. This research covered two study sites in agricultural areas including the Minnesota River Headwaters (Big Stone County) and Swan Lake (Nicollet County) as well as a comparison site from northern Minnesota (St. Louis and Carlton Counties). The results of this effort were compiled and submitted for publication in several peer-reviewed scientific journals along with results from the earlier phase of the NWI update project. Three hard copies and one electronic copy of these publications have been submitted with the final report to LCCMR. There have also been numerous presentations at professional conferences.

Some argue that youth who have meaningful outdoor education experiences are more likely to become engaged in environmental stewardship and invested in outdoor resources as adults. Wilderness Inquiry- in partnership with state and federal agencies, non-profits, and local school districts - will use this appropriation to expand an environmental education and recreation program that provides disadvantaged urban youth and families, some of whom have never even been on a boat, with hands-on educational and recreational experiences of the Mississippi River in 24 foot Voyageur canoes. Funds are enabling the program to serve an additional 23,000 urban youth and families in the Twin Cities metro area. Public school groups have day trips and overnight excursions available to them to augment their classroom learning, while other youth and families have access through community events. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The goal of Urban Wilderness Youth Outdoor Education (UWYOE) was to provide accessible, outdoor education and recreation opportunities on the Mississippi River and surrounding watershed for more than 20,000 urban youth over a three-year period. UWYOE was developed in response to the sharp decline in participation in outdoor education and activities such as canoeing, camping, hunting and fishing by urban youth. UWYOE provided experiential environmental learning experiences on the Mississippi River and surrounding watershed for 24,899 Twin Cities middle and high school students, exceeding our initial goal of 20,000. 80% of the youth served identify as a person of color and 80% are eligible for free or reduced lunch. The majority, 76%, had very little or no prior experience with outdoor activities. Environmental education experiences were provided through outdoor workshops on local lakes and rivers, guided day trips on the Mississippi River, and overnight camping trips in local parks. National Park Service Rangers and Wilderness Inquiry guides provided natural and cultural history and science lessons as part of each program activity. We developed, refined and implemented classroom activities, provided three teacher trainings for Minneapolis Public Schools summer school staff, and developed a program website. We also purchased four 24' Voyageur canoes to expand our capacity to serve more youth.A three-year evaluation was conducted by the University of Minnesota's Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI). Major outcomes include:77% of participants reported an increased interest in science and the environment87% of teachers agreed that students learned about environmental issues100% of students said they would like to participate in an outdoor activity like this againThis program has gained national attention as a model for engaging urban youth with the environment and building skills to grow future stewards and managers of our public lands. In the summer of 2012, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Governor Mark Dayton recognized the program as a leader in America's Great Outdoors initiative. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund's investment in UWYOE has resulted in the establishment of a model program for engaging youth in the outdoors, which we now call Urban Wilderness Canoe Adventures (UWCA). The UWCA has been recognized by the EPA, the Department of Interior, and Gov. Mark Dayton, among others, as a leader in America's Great Outdoors Initiative. Within the National Park Service and National Forest Service, the UWCA is being held up as an example of how these agencies need to engage in urban communities across the country. In 2010, Wilderness Inquiry and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area unit of the National Park Service piloted the UWCA concept developed in the Twin Cities to Washington DC, with support from the National Park Service, US Forest Service, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and several DC based nonprofit organizations. Serving 1,000 DC area school kids on the Anacostia River, this effort helping bring together 20 DC area organizations focused on though and/or the Anacostia River. To build on this success, we launched the ""Canoemobile"" to introduce youth to urban waters in multiple cities, and to help build local coalitions dedicated to providing outdoor opportunities to disadvantaged youth. In 2013, the Canoemobile will serve youth in Milwaukee, Michigan City, Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Philadelphia, New York City, and Washington DC. Nature Valley has signed on as a sponsor of the Canoemobile. We held two outcomes briefings (one in 2011 and one in 2013) to present the University of Minnesota's Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI) evaluation results. The first was hosted by the Minneapolis Foundation and the second by Mayor Chris Coleman and the Saint Paul Foundation. Each had more than 35 community leaders, funders, and educators present. Information about the project has also been disseminated through the project website. The UWCA has received coverage on Kare 11 News, the Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, and Mpls/St. Paul Magazine.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2013-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Lais,"Wilderness Inquiry","808 14th Avenue SE",Minneapolis,MN,55414,"(612) 676-9409",greglais@wildernessinquiry.org,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Benton, Carver, Chisago, Crow Wing, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, McLeod, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/urban-wilderness-youth-outdoor-education,,,,

It's a vibrant and invaluable festival that is part of the Lao heritage that represents generosity, family values, community, society and religion that allows the Lao people to practice traditions. The event was held on May 7th, 2022 at the Thai Twist Restaurant & Banquet Hall in Blaine, MN. Events include; Religious ceremony, Ba-Ci (Lao tradition ceremony), bathing of Buddha images, pouring scented water upon seniors to ask for their blessing, and traditional on stage performance from 7 Asian ethnic groups; such as the Lao, Thai, and Indians. We created a children's group fashion show where the children showcased their Lao costumes and cultural parade. More than 500 Lao and SE Asians with the age ranges from 2-86 years old attended the event. We achieved most of the goals we strived for based off of what others wanted to see included in the event. Based on the in person survey we conducted, about 50% of the people that attended the party was interviewed. 100% of the people who were interviewed said that they wanted and believed that the Lao New Year event should continue and keep reaching out. An improvement that made our event successful this year was that we had more community members and volunteers participate in our event. Leading our group to reach out to parts of the community that didn't know about this information before. We have heard extensive requests from the Lao community that we need to host the Lao New Year event every year, to provide a platform for SE Asians to come together and celebrate our culture through art and expression as well as allow SE Asians to exchange thoughts and ideas on how to continue the preservation of SE Asian art, culture and heritage. To create a vibrant and warm space for us to showcase our talent and art, as well as creating increased understanding and improved community relations between diverse groups of people as we open this event to other ethnic groups outside of SE Asians. Right now, we are in the midst of planning the Project2. The project that is in progress is called the Grassroots Innovation. Our group members are promoting this project at all sort of community events taking place. ; Our Goals: (1) To preserve and expand the Lao culture, traditions, customs, arts, and literature. (2) To enhance the Lao community by promoting Lao culture and traditional values, educating on traditional practices, and developing the young generation to become an emerging leader.
