Contact grants@mnhs.org","In our original application, we cited two different short-term goals and how we would measure the success of each. First we wanted to create a list of institutions that may have holdings related to World War I that identified some portion of Dakota County for our research. Next, our Exhibit Researcher (ER) was to travel to those locations to determine if there was anything in their collection useful to our research. After identifying a list of organizations (Minnesota Historical Society / History Center, Immigration Library, etc.), our researcher called each location to speak with someone from their staff, or did an online search when available. We were successful in finding materials in the institutions with a more broad focus, rather than narrow focus (i.e. county). Our most successful visits from the list we created were to the Minnesota History Center and the Immigration Library. However, we still had found more useful materials in our own collection of microfilm that contained local newspapers. We believe we were successful, since the list did provide us with additional information and resources we did not have in our own possession. Our next goal was an intermediate one that sought to have compiled all of the research into themes and categories. We undoubtedly were successful in this category due to our ER providing us with a User Guide to her research, as well as sorted files by categories with paper copies of what was found. The paper files are broken down by themes of ""Agriculture / Farmers,"" ""Not WWI"" (Women's Suffrage, etc.), ""1918 Flue Pandemic & Disease,"" Education / Training,"" Race,"" Peace Activism / Socialists,"" etc. By having these files, along with the User Guide, our next phase of creating the exhibit will be much simpler, while also providing a permanent collection that researchers can utilize. Lastly, our long-term goal was to find content that was not already in our collection to preserve for the public. Again, we have been much more successful than our organization could have thought of when it came to this goal. The amount of detail in organizing the information found by our ER provides our Research Library with a wealth of new information that we anticipate being used excessively during the span of our exhibit and into the future. With each community having their own file, as well as general information during this time frame, we anticipate this being used for more than just World War I research. As in our original grant, the inforamtion can be used for at least the next 5-10 years on various research topics, but also fill a void in our permanent collection.",,111,"Available upon request.

Enrollment will focus on Minnesota Prairie Plan identified landscapes and target high quality prairies that provide valuable wildlife habitat. ",,"The loss of native prairie and associated grassland habitat is arguably the greatest conservation challenge facing western and southern Minnesota. This appropriation aimed to protect 420 acres of native prairie habitat by accelerating the enrollment of Native Prairie Bank easements. Not only were the prairie protection outcomes met but they were exceeded by 99 acres. Acceleration, such as this, is necessary to address the loss of native prairie and associated grasslands. Today, only about 1.3% of Minnesota’s original 18 million acres of prairie remains. The few remaining acres of native prairie once were thought of as unsuitable for crop production, however with advancements in technology and equipment, in addition to growing competition for tillable acres, this is no longer the case. Unfortunately, grassland-to-cropland conversion is not the only impact to native prairie, significant degradation and loss is also occurring due to property development, aggregate extraction, and lack of prairie-oriented management. If the current trajectory of grassland and prairie loss continues it will be devastating to grassland dependent wildlife populations. Recognizing that protecting grassland and wetland habitat is one of the most critical conservation challenges facing Minnesota, over a dozen leading conservation organizations have developed a road map for moving forward – the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. This plan calls for several outcomes, one being the protection of all remaining native prairie, largely through conservation easements. One of the primary easement tools for native prairie protection in Minnesota is the DNR administered Native Prairie Bank easement. Native Prairie Bank was established by the 1987 legislature to protect private native prairie lands by authorizing the state to acquire conservation easements from willing landowners. Native Prairie Bank targets the protection of native prairie tracts but can also include adjoining lands as buffers and additional habitat. Originally, this appropriation aimed to protect 420 acres of native prairie through Native Prairie Bank easements. Eligible tracts were to be located within priority landscapes identified in the Minnesota Prairie Plan and prioritized based on several evaluation factors including: 1) Size and quality of habitat, focusing on diverse native prairie communities that have been identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey 2) The occurrence of rare species, or suitability habitat for rare species 3) Lands that are part of a larger habitat complex Ultimately, 7 native prairie parcels for a total of 519 acres (99 acres more than initial 420-acre goal) were perpetually protected through this appropriation via Native Prairie Bank Easements. These now protected native prairies are unique natural resources that consist of thousands of different organisms, plants, animals, bacteria, and soil fungi. Their complex interactions provide the food, water and shelter required by many of Minnesota’s rare, threatened, and endangered species. These prairies house a wide variety of pollinator species, some of which often cannot survive in other habitats, including prairie restorations.

",,"Conversion of grasslands and wetlands for other uses have not only contributed to many native species population declines, but also impacted water quality, groundwater recharge cycles, and natural flood cycles. 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 1,061.97 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 USFWS 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.

Throughout the one-week process of participants experiencing the Lion King theater camp, they will produce a musical that anyone in our community will be able to attend. We will have an audience of at least 50 per night. These audience members will be exposed to high-quality musical theater through this process. 3. Through the one-week theater camp, we will inspire younger performers to be involved in the high school theater program and increase the number of students involved. We will create this lifelong learning opportunity for them and continue to maintain, support, and build our own organization while promoting and inspiring our local school's theater program. 4.

We will experience the diverse culture in The Lion King and bring it to Southwestern Minnesota. We will survey all participants at the conclusion of our week-long camp to gain an understanding of the value of their experience. Youth will be asked if their plan on continuing their theater experience. We will survey the audience to see if they enjoyed the performance and ask their opinion on what the ""next step"" should be for their community theater in their town. We will track the size of the audience and compare with previous projects. We will also track the involvement of students in the local school's theater program.

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.

Surveys are provided to participating artists, asking for numbers of visitors and in what ways Art Leap is helpful, i.e. visitor comments, sales, etc. Visitors are asked if the event improved their understanding of the time artists invest in their work, the tools and materials they use and what inspires them. Park Rapids Lakes Area Arts Council members review the event and offer ways to improve the experience. The project director and committee visit sites and ask artists and visitors for feedback during the event.","Artists reported numbers were down slightly from past years, likely due to unfavorable weather, but they had visitors new to their sites. Comments on how the event is helpful included pricing and “good sales.” Artists also report they enjoy meeting “nice people.” One suggestion for next year was to host a meet and greet for artists to meet each other. Visitors report they like the variety of artists and learning about artists’ processes.

Through the goal to conduct a strategic plan, Big Stone Arts Council expects to see both a new intention or motivation to take some course of action, and an improved ability or capacity to grow the mission. By achieving our goal to support artists and arts organizations we also expect to see the following as an outcome of this project: Organizational Self Esteem -- Big Stone Arts Council will see its worth and grow its mission to promote the vitality of the Big Stone area by continually developing the region into a thriving hub of cultural-artistic expression and engagement. Board Engagement -- Board Members will be passionate about the mission and engage regularly and aim to expand membership and board diversity. Partnership Relationships -- The organization will grow capacity and create greater impact and importance in the artistic development of the Big Stone community. Investment -- Boards of Directors and community members will want to invest both resources and time to achieve long-term and sustainable goals. Accountability -- Board of directors and others involved set goals and regularly assess performance against these goals. The organization consistently provides impactful stewardship reports that illustrate to all donors and stakeholders how together they are making an impactful difference. Expected changes would be a more focused organization with the strengths that a comprehensive plan can provide. The hope that this new energy would translate into increased high-quality arts activities for our community. Through the education of our board of directors and membership and additional evaluation and assessment of our community needs, we will develop an action plan with a specific timeline. Each action will have specific individuals with the skills to accomplish the task. Each action planned will be evaluated by the organization at the monthly meeting. Participant surveys where possible will be utilized. Outcomes will be documented through participant surveys, observations, data collection, SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis and more.","Surveys, reports, open-ended questioning, SWOT analysis, and data analytics: By identifying clear strengths, weaknesses and priority areas, the BSAC has a very clear road map to increase internal efficiencies and serve more people throughout the Big Stone County Region.

Students in the core grade 2 groups will create an interpretive dance showing the life cycle of a seed. 2. Students in grades K-4 will be exposed to the art of interpretive movement with a professional dancer for an hour or two (depending on availability of time). 3. Students will have a better understanding of interpretive movement as an art form. One of our goals with this residency is to expose primary school-age children to the art of dance. Another goal is our on-going effort to increase awareness of the value of arts for both students and adults in the world around us and in the regular classroom curriculum. Each time children are exposed to an artist who is new to them, the children learn something new from that person. In this case, they will learn some creative movement that interprets something from the biological world. Evaluation of the success of our goals will occur both during and after the experience with Karla. During the week, classroom teachers will be observing the students as they participate in sessions with Karla. At the end of the week, the core groups will participate in a performance of their work and community members will have the chance to see and respond to that performance. After the week with Karla, students in the core group will fill out a questionnaire regarding their experiences and discuss the experience with their teachers. Students in K-4 will discuss the experience as a group with their teachers. Classroom teachers who supervised their students during classes with Karla and community members will be asked to fill out a questionnaire regarding their thoughts about the residency.","Written forms were used to evaluate.

While it's impossible to see their individual article views, having a subscriber base of over 2500 people assures that they have been seen by a large number of Minnesotans.

An added beneficial outcome has been the addition of people in our sphere who have become 'experts' on a local history topic. We've been able to set-up three presentations with entry authors who presented on their topics to a public audience at the Comstock House.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2018.  ","Minnesota state agencies are working together to establish and report outcome-based performance measures that monitor the progress and impact of Clean Water Fund activities. This inter-agency group completed Clean Water Performance Reports in 2012 and 2014. At the heart of these reports is a suite of quantifiable performance measures.MDA's Clean Water Research Program is reporting on performance measure OPM12: Percent of research projects meeting research efficiency goals.This performance measure was developed using guidelines from the National Academies of Sciences 2008 report Evaluating Research Efficiency in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.Each individual research project has specific deliverables.According to the National Academies' framework projects are evaluated according to two main criteria:1) Investment efficiency: is the agency making investments in the right projects? Investment efficiency is best evaluated by an independent, expert review panel that uses predominantly qualitative metrics to evaluate the program. The charge of the review panel is to determine if the research supported is relevant, of the highest quality, effective and efficient.Relevance is a measure of how well research supports the mission or purpose of the Clean Water Fund, which is to protect, enhance and restore lakes, rivers, streams, groundwater and drinking water in Minnesota.Quality refers to how research contributes to our understanding and knowledge of water resources in Minnesota. The review panel will evaluate the soundness, accuracy, novelty and reproducibility of the research projects.Effectiveness refers to the usability of research results by various stakeholders such as TMDL and other technical field staff, conservation professionals, and policy-makers.Efficiency refers to the ability to achieve quality, relevance, and effectiveness while minimizing resources devoted to the project in terms of time and money The review panel can also identify emerging issues and determine their place in research priorities. 2) Process efficiency: are the research investments being managed well?Process efficiency uses quantitative measures to track dollars and hours devoted to a project. Process efficiency refers to inputs, outputs, and intermediate outcomes of a research project and overall program.Inputs include agency resources such as funding, facilities, and staff that support research.Outputs are products delivered by a research project such as conclusions, reports, published papers, monitoring data and new techniques developed.Intermediate outcomes provide the review panel tangible metrics of evaluation. Examples of intermediate outcomes may include an improved body of knowledge available for decision-making, and newly developed tools and models. Tracking Outreach and EducationNumber of outreach activities (presentations, workshops, field days, and other events)Number of educational events (presentations or outreach to K-12 students or teachers, undergraduate science classes, non-science majors, grad students, etc)Number of peer-reviewed publications ",,,,,949783,9769,,"1 ","Funding is awarded to projects selected by the evaluation committee.

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.

A list of proposed land restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.",,"Prairie habitats once covered one-third of the state but presently less than 2% remain. 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.

Projects are prioritized based on ecological benefit, urgency, feasibility, and stakeholder support. ",,"Lake Carlos Dam Modification During the winter and spring of 2021, the Lake Carlos Dam was replaced with a rock arch-shaped rapids to restore upstream fish passage. We expect that migratory species from Lake Carlos and upstream Lake Le Homme Dieu will benefit from improved access to 121 miles of river that could be used for spawning and rearing habitat. Rare mussel species such as creek heelsplitter and black sandshell are found downstream of the outlet, and may also find suitable habitat in tributary streams to Lake Carlos. The rock arch rapids structure is located within Lake Carlos State Park, and will provide an opportunity to educate the public on the importance of lake and stream connectivity. Cottonwood Dam Modifications – Soldier’s and Sailor’s Park, Kuhar and Sanborn Golf Course Dams This project was originally funded to provide fish passage at three dams by modifying the dams to rock arch rapids structures. However during the course of project development, at two of the dam sites, the grantee opted to install riffles along the river corridor to slowly step the river down and to provide more habitat than originally anticipated. Two of the dam sites now have 6-7 riffles and deep pool associated with those riffles. Fish use these pools as is evident by the fishermen seen at various riffles. Fish have also been seen passing through the riffles to get upstream. Construction of this project started in February of 2020; that spring construction was put on hold due to high flows and the COVID pandemic. However, as the flows were rising the contractor continued to work. This proved to be an issue when the contractor was unable to finish installing that riffle. As a result, the unfinished structure caused some significant erosion; this lead to additional work at that riffle site for the contractor once flows receded. For the most part this project was constructed during the COVID pandemic which significantly limited the availability of Department oversight during construction. Additional oversight by the Department would have been beneficial in implementation and would likely have avoided the contractor working in rising flows. Construction of the projects were finished in fall of 2020. Overall the project accomplished the goals of fish passage and has the added benefit of additional habitat along the river corridor. Prairie/Lizzie Dam Modifications The Prairie Lake and Lizzie Lake dam outlets were modified to rock arch rapids to improve fish passage. Construction finished in summer of 2019 and reconnected 2 consecutive dams, which when combined reconnected 20 stream miles. Recently, there has been some momentum in the Otter Tail watershed to improve fish passage. Because of this support, the timeline went really quickly for Lizzie and Prairie and the construction was very efficient. This was due, in part, to local DNR, the consultant and contractors’ experience working on prior dam modifications. The Prairie Dam was unique in that we needed to do the modification on both sides of the road/bridge. Since construction was completed the vegetation has reestablished and fish have been seen using the rapids.P a g e 3 | 10 Hallock Dam Modification Construction on the Hallock dam finished spring of 2021. This project has a unique river setting with the dam immediately upstream of a meander bend and an incised reach of stream. This led to a unique design of modifying the dam by installing two sections of rock arch rapids upstream and downstream of the meander. There were also some riffles downstream of the rapids to partially address the incision and provide additional habitat. Fish passage was achieved at the site by modifying the dam into a rock arch rapids; channel catfish movement has already occurred and a variety of sizes were sampled earlier in the summer. Due to the drought this year, the vegetation has been struggling to get established. The project partner (City of Hallock) has responded by setting up a pump and watering the newly seeded area. Drywood Creek Dam Removal and Channel Restoration The Drywood Creek project removed the dam and restored the stream to a stable dimension, pattern and profile. Toe-wood sod mat was used to protect the banks while vegetation establishes and 2 rock riffles were installed to account for the grade change from the dam. After construction was finished, it was determine that one of the riffles was built too narrow and not according to plan specifications. Construction of this project was consistently up against high flows; which is likely why it wasn’t clear that the riffle didn’t meet specifications. DNR funding was used to adjust the riffle to the correct width. Coolridge Creek Restoration Construction for the Coolridge Creek restoration project was completed in May 2019. The project removed 18 culverts from the stream channel and three additional culverts from side channels. Removing the culverts restored 1,800 feet of stream channel. Shell River Culvert Replacement Three culverts on the Shell River were replaced in fall 2020. The previously undersized culverts were replaced with larger culverts to restore fish passage and improve stream conditions. One culvert replacement was funded through ML 18 and two replacements were funded through ML 16. Stream habitat work for this appropriation and other LSOHC-funded projects from other appropriations was aided by funding for a stream restoration coordinator and interns. Here are some of the highlighted work of these positions using funding from this appropriation: • Project development and public outreach. • Management of project funding. • Analyze and prioritize culverts for replacement – Buffalo River, Cottonwood River and Otter Tail River watersheds. • Annual updates of the Stream Restoration Priority List • Geomorphic monitoring of Buffalo River and Lake Shady • Collected culvert data in Lake Pepin and Chippewa watersheds. • Assisted with geomorphic monitoring of stream restoration projects.

The project was a staff priority, and is part of a larger project that is an institutional priority. Finally, a $10,000 MHCH grant that preceded this one provided direction and established a strong basis for completing the work. Comments regarding short-term impacts and progress indicators: 1. Learn about three new directions for research through the survey of historical archives, repositories and resources. This was exceeded. The researcher uncovered a number of fascinating and relevant narratives. Several of these were pursued and resulted in interesting interviews. Others could be pursued at a later date. 2. Learn key historical stories of innovation that took place in Minnesota's Medical Alley that are supported by images, artifacts and video footage, indicated by the identification of historical resources to include in at least two exhibition components. This was achieved, and as development on the broader ""Inventing for Health"" project continues, we may find that it was exceeded. As noted above artifacts and stories acquired through this project will be used in a small ""prologue"" exhibit to open spring of 2018. Video interviews will be used in a larger exhibition, and will be supported through additional narratives, archival resources and objects collected or identified through the project. 3.

It was also at the center of a network of local producers, record labels, record stores, zines, music journalists and more in the local music scene.",,,2016-07-01,2018-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,MNHS,Legacy,"Minnesota Historical Society","345 Kellogg Blvd. W","Saint Paul",MN,55102,651-259-3105,,Education/Outreach/Engagement,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/first-avenue-exhibition,,,,

Process would be repeated with land sale proceeds.","Discussion of the Problem: There are many privately owned, forested parcels across the state that contain important habitat and other conservation values that make them desirable for either fee or conservation easement protection. Their value as conservation lands are many: These lands provide: 1) Access to state lands for resource management and for the recreating public; 2) Critical habitat for species of concern; 3) Connecting corridors between habitat blocks; 4) Key in holdings in larger blocks of forestland; or 5) Productive working forest that support local timber jobs. For some parcels, full fee ownership may be the most desirable option but for others, an easement interest may be sufficient to address our conservation goals and generally result in more efficient, cost-effective protection for selected parcels. These parcels may become available for sale by the owners who may only consider a sale in fee, but not an easement sale. In those cases, we either have to buy in fee or pass on the parcel. This proposal is an attempt to expand the toolbox for those parcels where fee sales are the only option. Under this proposal the state would: 1. Identify lands of interest and interested sellers. Year 1 and ongoing. Several potential parcels of interest have been identified in the parcel list. Other parcels will be considered for the final selection.2. Acquire the forest land in fee. Years 1-4. Up to 16 parcels will be targeted.3. Develop the conservation easement appropriate to the parcel. Years 1-5.4. Resell the lands subject to the conservation easement. Years 2-5. Estimated cost to sell parcels is approximately $13,600/parcel. 5. Dedicate funds for conservation stewardship. Years 2-5.6. Repeat the process with the sale proceeds as time allows or return the remaining funds. Years 2-5. We estimate that parcels will resell for between 40-60% of initial purchase price depending on final easement terms.Easements secured under this program would be perpetual and would be drafted to protect the essential habitat, access, and other conservation values of the individual tracts. Forests would be protected from conversion to non-forest uses. Depending on the site, limited public assess through the property to other public lands may be secured, but for most parcels public access for hunting and fishing would not be provided. The conservation easement would limit those developments and activities that negatively impact habitat values and would require forest stewardship plans that guide the landowners' use of the property. Hunting camps and possibly cabins, appropriately located, may be allowed to encourage those traditional forest uses such as hunting and fishing.Outcomes for this project include: 1. Increased management access and public access to public lands; 2. Habitat protection; 3. Connectivity of habitats and the prevention of forest fragmentation; 4. Stewardship planning provides opportunities to involve private landowners in habitat protection; 5. Lands remain in private ownership and provide local property taxes; 6.

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. Evaluation of BMP implementation and quantification of risk factors by watershed, combined with effective outreach programs, will allow for continued utilization of working forests while maintaining functioning, healthy watersheds that produce clean water.

The project manager prepared an intake form and authentication strategies prior to publicizing the search, so any submissions of potential Gilbert furnishings could be assessed and added to the system quickly. The intermediate target of writing stories as material was available and sharing them with the public was also met. Once the project manager collected sufficient information of an item, she wrote a story and compiled relevant photographs. Stories were shared through Facebook, newspaper articles, television interviews, and public programs. Web development proceeded to be done separately; that is, instead of pages being continuously added to the Cass Gilbert Society's existing website, a new site was created and unveiled at the end of the project term. This alternative still allowed for the public to receive project updates, while ensuring the future website was as refined and complete as possible. The initial plan also included adding 100 new pages to the existing website. The reality of this expansion was beyond knowing prior to the project. The resulting new website, with fewer pages but rich content including stories, photo albums, and maps, is a focused and thorough collection of all research and findings. The long-term target of publicizing information about Gilbert and the State Capitol has been met and will continue to be met as the website is continually shared by the Cass Gilbert Society and others. The website will be useful not only to site managers, historians, and architects for research purposes but also to the general public. The targets were met because the project team did not hastily roll out information about the project before sufficient research had occurred and systems of recording submissions were in place.

Subject to evaluation criteria in Minnesota Rules, part 6136.0900, priority must be given to acquisition of lands that are eligible for the native prairie bank under Minnesota Statutes, section 84.96, or lands adjacent to protected native prairie. A list of proposed acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan and must be consistent with the priorities in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan.",,"This project protected 1,778 acres of grassland, wetland, and prairie habitat as identified as a priority in the Outdoor Heritage Fund?s 25-Year Framework, and more specifically identified in the Prairie Plan. This project focused on lands identified by DNR, USFWS, and our partners as necessary for the conservation of habitat for wildlife and Species in Greatest Conservation Need. Minnesota County Biological Survey data as well as USFWS data were used to identify and prioritize sites of highest value for grassland birds and other prairie species such as the Dakota skipper and Poweshiek skipperling, both recently listed as threatened by USFWS. Because the majority of prairie and grassland habitat is found on private lands, this project helped protect those habitats and establish important connections to other protected lands, thereby creating larger complexes of protected grassland habitats.","A total of 1,778 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 1,778 in Easements, 0 in Enhance.",33200,"Private and Private-landowner donations",1040500,29500,,0.66,"The Conservation Fund","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Grassland Conservation Partnership Phase II grant resulted in the protection via conservation easement of 1,778 acres of grassland habitat and 3 miles of shoreline associated with 2 working grasslands projects in western Minnesota. Land protected through conservation easement exceeded the proposed outputs for this grant by 445% (1,778 versus 400 proposed acres). In addition, 140 acres of grasslands habitat was enhanced through the grant.","Native grasslands are the most threatened ecosystem in Minnesota and one of the most threatened in the world. The Prairie Section as defined by LSOHC has suffered the greatest habitat loss of any of the five sections examined by the Council. Furthermore, only a third of the remaining habitat in the Prairie Section is permanently protected. To compound the problem, significant amounts of Minnesota?s conservation lands enrolled in the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) have expired over the past half decade and have been removed from the program. Science has proven that proper application of haying and grazing techniques can be used to mimic natural processes necessary for healthy grass natural communities. Our colleagues at The Nature Conservancy and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service have proven these techniques successful in Minnesota over a significant period of time. TCF performed the initial landowner outreach and identified potential projects; MLT negotiated the terms of the conservation easements with the landowners. All easements are held and monitored by MLT in perpetuity. Lands targeted for conservation easement protection through this project met the following criteria: 1. Lands with significant existing prairie or grassland habitat 2. Lands near or within the Core Areas and Corridors identified in the Prairie Plan 3. Lands adjacent to or in close proximity to permanently protected land (e.g., WMAs, WPAs, CREP easements, TNC preserves, etc.) 4. Lands which will help establish connections between existing permanently protected lands, and those creating larger habitat complexes 5. Lands which may also include low production cropland that can be converted back into grasslands, thereby increasing overall grassland habitat MLT and TCF used these criteria to systematically vet and rank potential projects to ensure projects selected possessed the maximum conservation value for the state's investment. Projects were also screened to identify producers with a proven ability to successfully implement the best management practices for conservation grazing. MLT used the proven ?reverse-bid? model to incentivize landowners to donate a portion of easement value and allow for the most efficient use of conservation funds. This reverse bid model first ranks the projects according to their habitat values and then ranks them according to the landowner's bid on what they are willing to get paid for the conservation easements. Projects selected provided the greatest conservation benefits at the lowest cost to the State. Two conservation easement projects were completed through this grant, totaling 1,778 acres and protecting 3 miles of shoreline: Caribou Parklands (Finney) - This massive 1,510-acre conservation easement embodies the innovative protection strategy championed by the Grasslands Conservation Partnership program. Located in Kittson County in Minnesota?s unique Tallgrass Aspen Parklands biome, this property is part of a conservation grazing operation that is sustained by rotational grazing and selective haying. Strategically located in an approximately 10-square mile area of private land that is surrounded by three WMAs, this property provides a critical link between vast stretches of public lands. Ten native plant communities have been identified on the property, including rare prairie and wetland communities. Approximately 220 acres of native prairie is present. The property is home to numerous state-listed wildlife species, including moose, elk, and marbled godwit, as well as many other species that are considered Species in Greatest Conservation Need, such as sharptailed grouse and northern harrier. Perch Lake (Samuelson) - Nearly two miles of shoreline on Perch Lake and an additional unnamed lake in Otter Tail County are protected through this impressive 267-acre conservation easement. Located six miles northwest of Parkers Prairie, this property is situated in the scenic Leaf Hills, a rugged glacial moraine that is part of the larger Alexandria Moraine. The property contains extensive rolling pasture, grazed through a Conservation Grazing Plan, as well as a narrow isthmus located between Perch Lake and an additional unnamed lake. The isthmus is pockmarked with wetland basins and contains large stands of Pin Oak ? Bur Oak Woodland, a community that is considered ?vulnerable to extirpation? in Minnesota. This portion of the property is also part of a Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance and is located less than a mile west of Folden Woods Marsh Wildlife Management Area. A large 140-acre enhancement project also occurred on the Perch Lake (Samuelson) property after the easement closed. Portions of this easement had a long history of grazing and the Land Trust worked with the landowners to develop a rotational grazing system to improve and maintain the important habitats found on this portion of the property. The Land Trust also installed fencing to operationalize the rotational grazing system. These initial investments will allow for season-long habitat across the property, providing varied grass heights, and allowing for grassland plant species to complete their lifecycles on portions of the property every year. This will, in turn, provide valuable foraging and nesting habitat for grasslands birds, as well as floral resources and shelter for prairie pollinators.",,2016-07-01,2023-05-05,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Emilee,Nelson,"The Conservation Fund","1000 County Road E W Suite 220",Shoreview,MN,55126,"(952) 595-5768",enelson@conservationfund.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Kittson, Otter Tail","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/grassland-conservation-partnership-phase-ii,,,,

We have time to address these issues and ensure that Minnesota’s economies and ecosystems have adequate water supplies in the future. Each of the selected pilot Groundwater Management Areas has been experiencing increased use and reliance on groundwater to meet public or private needs. The purpose of a groundwater management area is to organize resources and people to better understand the risk of overuse and contamination in these areas, and to develop a plan that the Department of Natural Resources can implement to ensure sustainable use of water.

10007365,"Lake Minnetonka Nautical Archaeology Project: Anomaly Assessment and ROV Study",2017,9995,,,"Available upon request. Contact grants@mnhs.org","MHM short and intermediate term goals for this project were met in any measurable way. MHM's primary goals for the Lake Minnetonka Nautical Archaeology: Anomaly Assessment and ROV Study (LMNA-AA-ROV) Project, a Phase 1 archaeological reconnaissance survey, was to: 1. Examine specific wrecks and anomalies recognized through a sonar survey and determine their significance as submerged cultural resources; and 2. Determine the validity of and the value of using a low-cost Remotely Operated (ROV) in the identification of unknown anomalies, particularly deeper targets. During the LMNA-AA-ROV Project, MHM examined 38 anomalies assigned these numbers: were A84, A76, A88, A90, A113, A117, A125.3, A129.6, A256, A456, A465, A475, A544b, A579, A581, A590, A614, A623, A625, A630, A646, A648, A649, A653, A650, A651, A654, A670, A671, A673, A674, A675, A676, A689, A690, A691, A692, and A694. MHM also dove on 2 known wrecks to answer archaeological questions: the Small Utility Wreck Site (Anomaly 601, now known as the Herter's Model Hudson Bay Wreck) and the Burned Fiberglass Wreck Site (Anomaly 600). MHM also revisited one previously known object, the Anchor, Metal, Glass, and Wood Site (Anomaly 599), to answer questions - it is now known as the Possible Buried Car Site. Using data accumulated from the fieldwork as a starting point, MHM conducted research to place newly recognized nautical archaeological sites and anomalies into their historical contexts. Minnesota Archaeological Site Forms were filed with the Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA) when appropriate: Fisherman's Friend Wreck 3 (Anomaly 676, 21-HE-499), Wooden Motor Boat Wreck 2 (21-HE-500), Hydroplane Wreck (Anomaly 651, 21-HE-501), Hydroplane Wreck 2 (Anomaly 691, 21-HE-502), Burned Fiberglass Wreck (Anomaly 599, 21-HE-504), and the (maritime site) Marine Launch Boiler Site (Anomaly 117, 21-HE-503). The other wrecks identified during the project are: Jet Stream Wreck (A84), Crestliner Admiral Wreck (A689), and the Forester Canoe Wreck (A694) - MHM and its volunteers confirmed the existence of 7 new wrecks. Initially, the proposed number of anomalies to be investigated were at a minimum - 32 unknown targets along with 2 known wrecks and 1 known object to answer questions about their nature. Therefore, MHM dove on 41 targets as opposed to the minimum number of 32 targets proposed a highly successful project. Seven more wreck sites were included in the on-going Lake Minnetonka sediment study; Bruce Koenen of the OSA suggested the study in 2013 in order to determine the rate of sediment build-up in different areas of the lake. This data is used to approximate the sinking dates of boats and other resources, using wrecks with known sinking dates for comparison. During the LMNA-AA-ROV project, in addition to the submerged resources described above, MHM also identified 5 new maritime sites/objects (1 boat hatch cover, 1 boat lift, 1 capsized barrel raft, a collection of 7 fish cribs, 1 anchor) and 3 other objects/sites (1 rubble pile, 2 barrels). Natural anomalies in include 5 tree stumps (all natural but dumped on the ice/in the lake on purpose), 5 rocks or rock piles, and 14 false targets that were unusual bottom contours or vegetation. MHM's 2nd objective for the LMNA-AA-ROV Project was to test the viability of using a low-cost ROV in deeper water to identify unknown targets in order to plan dives more efficiently and as a by-product, safely. MHM first tested the ROV in shallow water at a shoreline dock, and with practice, the ROV performed well. MHM then tested the ROV on a known relatively shallow (28 feet deep) wreck, testing out different rigs in order to more effectively pilot the robot underwater. The test was successful in that MHM took some photos of the wreck. The next test was on Anomaly 625 in 46 feet of water. MHM had problems navigating the ROV not only on the surface, but on the lake bottom. While the ROV has a depth sensor, the directional sensor is useless and the machine lost communication with the topside laptop several times, resulting in complete re-boots of the ROV and it had to be brought to the surface. Through many trials, MHM finally located Anomaly 625 a tree on the lake bottom. Therefore, while technically successful, in that MHM identified 2 objects on the lake bottom, the use of this generation of ROV is not helpful for MHM's goals and work because of its extreme limitations (see attached). The ROV had directional problems in 28 and 46 feet; the problems would only get exponentially worse in 80, 90, or 100+ feet of water - particularly since sunlight is lost around 70 feet deep, creating virtually a night diving situation. A more advanced - but relatively low-cost - ROV was supposed to be on the market in June 2017 but the manufacturers are behind in development, and it is not yet available. One of MHM''s volunteers has placed an order for one of the units, so MHM will test it in the future to determine its value to underwater archaeology. For now, the ROV tested is only good in shallow water with great visibility conditions MHM only deals with about 20% of the time, and SCUBA divers can perform the work better and faster than an ROV. After the completion of the LMNA-AA-ROV Project fieldwork in September 2017, there are now 66 wreck sites identified on the bottom of Lake Minnetonka (including a dugout canoe that was removed from the lake in 1934). Of these wrecks, 41 of them have 40 Minnesota archaeological site numbers; 2 wrecks are features of one site. Further, 4 other types of maritime sites have archaeological site numbers and there are 25 maritime sites or objects without numbers. Additionally, 27 'other' objects have been identified that do not have site numbers, including 8 vehicles that include a snowmobile, truck, and 6 cars. All the resources dove upon during the LMNA-AA-ROV Project were rudimentarily documented for future study. For those not provided numbers during the project, designations as nautical or maritime archaeological sites in the future is possible; data from this project will be used at that time. The goal of educating volunteer divers on proper search techniques was exceeded-the amount of data collected during the diving, the great attitudes of MHM's volunteers about the sites investigated, and the eagerness to investigate more anomalies to learn about them is rewarding. MHM's plan to educate the general public through social and professional media have also met with great success - including 2 archaeology fairs encompassing 3 days, 2 public speaking engagements and MHM's participation in a University of Minnesota Continuing Education class in September 2017. MHM's 'followers' on social media increased greatly due to the LMNA-AA-ROV Project. Followers have learned about the importance of keeping submerged cultural resources unspoiled and about the impressive maritime history of Minnesota that MHM is continually uncovering. An online dialog about the significance and rarity of Lake Minnetonka's and Minnesota's protected nautical, maritime, and underwater cultural resources is on-going and will continue. During the LMNA-AA-ROV Project, MHM met expectations and produced substantial and meaningful results from this project due to sound fieldwork planning, solid methodology employed during the fieldwork, the previous systematic methodology employed during the remote sensing surveys that provided good data, and the utilization of knowledge gained from MHM's other Lake Minnetonka Nautical Archaeology Projects. Further, while the ROV testing did not provide the desired results, MHM has proven that at this time, it is not appropriate to use for serious underwater archaeological studies; it is more of a fun toy for people to play with in shallow water. Investing in more advanced remote sensing sonar equipment (MHM's unit was new and state-of-the-art in 2010, but technological advancements are many and they move quickly) is a better and a time-tested alternative for MHM - acquiring a new unit is a priority. Additionally, MHM's vetting of volunteer divers choosing only ethical, responsible people who understand our Mission to locate, document, preserve, and conserve Minnesota's finite submerged cultural resources within a not-for-profit paradigm led to a productive and honest working environment in the field. Fundamentally, MHM conducted sound nautical and maritime archaeology, strong maritime historical research that produced trustworthy data for analysis and future use, and we chose a group of trustworthy volunteers to assist us with the fulfillment of this project's goals.",,1251,"Available upon request.

DNR drafted new biological and water quality standards and two technical support documents outlining the science behind the new standards in collaboration with MPCA. The new standards will protect coldwater fishes and their habitat and lakes with exceptionally healthy and diverse fish communities. FIBI survey data and reports, assessment results, and stressor identification reports are available on the DNR website, MPCA website, and as a criterion of lake health in the Watershed Health Assessment Framework online tool.

To help maintain this important data source we finalized survey protocols for aquatic plant IBI assessments wrote a manual of these standardized survey methods and held training workshops for 150 DNR Fish and Wildlife staff involved in lake plant surveys. In addition we did more detailed in-lake surveys on eight priority lakes in the Rum River Watershed where there was not enough existing plant data to calculate an IBI.

Enhance student programs by (a) increasing the number of students and schools participating in grant supported civic education student programs with particular focus on high needs schools; (b) updating programs by integrating technology when appropriate; (c) providing professional development for teachers; (a)promote student programs such as We the People and Project Citizen in communities that currently are not participating on either a local or state level. (b) In some cases, the use of technology to connect students in different communities with statewide events will help expand program participation and will be pursued by using technology already available in communities. (c)Teachers will be supported in their efforts to implement high quality civic education using proven practices through professional development experiences. This programming will be co funded by grants from the Minnesota Department of Education and others (currently the federally funded James Madison Legacy Project). For example, the Legacy grant will provide critical resources to support LLAD's Update Institute which focuses on Minnesota and federal civic knowledge content and current issues. 4. Help partners conduct high quality civic education programs through activities such as professional development support, program design consultation, and stronger civic education partnerships. ","Website: (Proposed outcomes 1 and 2) Website redesign partially completed, . Much of the information architecture is completed, some minor redesign of the search tool needed. Graphic design was not accepted. Engagement tool of polling was added; others were not completed. LLAD is seeking new developer. 786 lessons were reviewed, updated. Users: 3836 Minnesota users accessed lessons 14,556 times. Average number of pages accessed per session went from 2.14 to 2.71 2.29% are new users this past year. We use Google Analytics to measure our outcomes. Student Activities: WTP 78 students (up 39%), 30 teams for the annual We the People State Showcase Dec 12, 2017. In addition, 11 more teachers/schools held simulated hearings in their schools.

This proposal will help us reach those organizational goals by increasing our adult programming. Through our programming we will engage over 500 adults and children in high quality arts experiences, creating a deeper connection between the artist and audience, and building a stronger arts community in Fergus Falls. We will provide a variety of events that appeal to different audiences and will hopefully bring more people into the gallery. We record attendance to every gallery event and will measure initial success by meeting our attendance goals. Impact will be measured indirectly through guest book comments, new mailing list sign ups, and increased attendance to future events and workshops. We will directly measure impact through surveys to both our general audience and to the workshop participants. We have already begun a process to gain feedback from our general audience through an email survey asking what events they attend and why or why they don't attend events, which will be sent out later this year. We will follow this up next year with another survey, which can follow up on the events outlined in this proposal as well. We can also compare attendance data from 2016 workshops and events to 2017 workshops and events to see if they have improved. Over the last two years we have kept spreadsheets recording event attendance, scholarship, costs, and income, (along with other information) to make sure we are running our programs efficiently and making the most impact with our resources. Keeping track of this data also helps us to understand why events were not successful.

MLT prevented fragmentation around lakes experiencing development pressure (Pickerel and Fish Lakes), as well as areas of biological significance (Medvecky Woods). MLT conservation easements also protected two miles of shoreline and associated riparian habitat on Pickerel, Fish, and Oak Lakes. Over six bird species designated as SGCN have been identified on the Oak Lake conservation easement alone. MVT acquired lands identified through the USFWS Comprehensive Conservation Plan, which prioritizes lands for high biodiversity, connectivity, and ability to preserve habitat for SGCN. MVT?s acquisition protected oak savanna, remnant prairie, oak basswood forest and seasonal ephemeral wetlands. A bioblitz identified more than 200 species, including the endangered Henslow?s sparrow, bloodroot, pasqueflower, kittentail (state threatened species), buffalo bean, bergamot, common milkweed, whorled milkweed, green milkweed and bur oak. Restoration created habitat for grassland and savanna-dependent birds, other wildlife and pollinators, including the endangered Rusty Patched bumble bee and monarch. TPL acquired land prioritized in Minnesota?s Wildlife Action Plan (WAP) due to its high biodiversity significance, connectivity to existing public lands, and ability to preserve habitat for SGCN. Acquisition for the Janet Johnson Memorial WMA protected two habitat types identified within the WAP?s St. Croix River Watershed Conservation Focus Area and key wildlife habitat utilized by 67 listed SGCN within the Anoka Sand Plain ecological subsection.","A total of 1,199 acres were affected: 241 Restored, 145 in Fee Title, 194 in Easements, 619 in Enhance.",1962900,"City of Elk River, City of Elk River, FMR, Greening, IWLA, SWWD, Dakota County, MCWD, Landowner donated value, MCWD, St. Louis Park, MVT - Private, Private funds, SWWD, South Washington Watershed District, Vail Resorts, Various state and local and private funds",3913500,48300,,0.59,"MN Valley National Wildlife Refuge Trust Inc; Friends of the Mississippi River, Great River Greening, MN Land Trust, Trust for Public Land","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Metro Big Rivers (MBR) partners successfully completed their work with the Phase 7 / ML2016 OHF appropriation.

More in-depth information of projects completed is provided in attachments to this final report. Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) completed its work under this grant as of June 30, 2022. FMR restored habitat at 197 acres at 2 sites, exceeding its original plan of 160 acres. FMR was able to expand its planned work area at the William H. Houlton Conservation Area and add the adjacent Bailey Point Nature Preserve to its work under this grant. Great River Greening (GRG) concluded its restoration and enhancement work as of June 30, 2021. Through this grant, GRG restored 4 acres and enhanced 619 acres of habitat (623 acres total) at 7 sites in the metro region, slightly exceeding its original goal. The project sites were Izaak Walton League Minnesota Valley Gateway, Lebanon Hills Regional Park Phase 1, Lilydale Bluffs, Minnehaha Creek Greenway, Pond Dakota Mission, Rum River Regional Park & Cedar Creek Conservation Area, and Trout Brook Afton Phase 1 (5 are detailed in the attachment). Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) concluded its land protection work associated with this grant in June 2019. MLT protected 3 sites under conservation easement and exceeded its projected goals for the grant, protecting 194 acres (relative to the 100 acres proposed) and 2.18 miles of shoreline. MLT leveraged $1,055,000 in landowner donations of easement value through this grant. MLT easement projects completed in this phase are: ?Medvecky Woods (Baker) - An 80-acre property protecting high-quality oak-maple-basswood forest, tamarack swamp, and hardwood swamp. The property lies within the Medvecky Woods Site of Outstanding Biodiversity Significance and adjacent to Cedar Creek Natural History Area and conservation easements held by the Land Trust. ?Pickerel Lake (Imholte) - This 42-acre property is dominated by oak forest and lies along the shorelines of Pickerel and Fish Lakes. The property lies adjacent to another conservation easement held by the Land Trust. ?Oak Lake (Phyllis Wheatly Community Center) - This 83-acre property (72 acres funded through this grant) contains a DNR-designated Big Woods Heritage Forest and nearly 1.5 miles of shoreline on Oak Lake. The conservation easement forever protects high quality habitat within Camp Katherine Parsons, one of the nation?s earliest camps focused on serving the needs of African-American youth. Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) completed its work under this grant as of December 31, 2022. With about half of the grant, MVT protected through fee title acquisition 26 acres of a high-priority 77-acre parcel for the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The balance of the site was acquired with the MBR 6 / ML 2015 grant and $794,462 in other, private funds. MVT then used the balance of the MBR 7 grant to complete the initial habitat restoration of 40 acres of the acquired parcel, converting the building site and crop field to prairie and wetland. Simultaneously, MN Land Trust conducted initial restoration of 35 acres of degraded oak savanna on the site through MBR 6 / ML 2015. Follow-up treatments to maintain and enhance the restored 77 acres will be completed by MVT and USFWS under the MBR 9 / ML2019 grant. The Trust for Public Land (TPL) concluded its land protection work associated with this grant in January 2018, when it acquired a 119-acre addition to the Janet Johnson WMA.

10007385,"Minnesota Small Craft Project",2017,8196,,,"Available upon request. Contact grants@mnhs.org","Drawing upon nautical archaeological and historical knowledge based on previous fieldwork and research conducted by Minnesota's only underwater/maritime archaeologists and maritime historians, MHM's documentation and 3D scanning of the 5 boats chosen for the Minnesota Small Craft Project (MSC) exceeded expectations. The 5 boats were chosen because they were Minnesota-built, rare, and relatively unknown in the maritime history of the state. The maritime historical research conducted by MHM in association with the MSC Project revealed the true rarity of the 5 watercraft documented. The great amount of historical documentation put together to provide context to these 5 Minnesota Watercraft, as a measurable long-term outcome, is invaluable for understanding Minnesota's maritime history. Further, all the research is available for future use during the documentation of underwater archaeological sites wrecks to assist in submerged cultural resources identification. Additionally, as more examples of the watercraft produced by these 5 companies come to light, the information provided in the MSC Report can assist boat owners and museum professionals concerning the history and care of the boats. When the project was began, MHM was aware of 2 Ramaley Boat Company's Fisherman's Friend Row Boats (FFRB) in existence on the bottom of Lake Minnetonka and that is still the case. Similarly, the Indian Trading Post Boat Works Outboard Motor Boat (IOMB) is a one of a kind survivor, but the smaller Wooden Outboard Utility Wreck (21-HE-491) on the bottom of Lake Minnetonka is comparable. The Joseph Dingle Boat Works Outboard Motor Boat (DOMB) represents one of the most respected late 19th and early 20th Century boat builders not only in Minnesota, but the United States. MHM was aware of a handful of Dingle-built watercraft that survive and that were known in the historical record. However, after conducting a rigorous documents search for more Dingle boats, MHM was astonished by the great number of boats produced by Dingle on special order as well as the great number of stock models sold to the City of St. Paul, for example. The diversity of watercraft styles and designs produced by Dingle over the decades attests to the versatility and talent of the firm's craftsmen. Today, most Minnesotans - much less wooden boat historians and enthusiasts - have no knowledge of the Joseph Dingle Boat Works, where it was located, or the types of boats designed and built on the Mississippi River in St. Paul for 69 years. Further, fast sailboats and fast auto boats designed by Joseph Dingle were well-known by racers from the 1880s into the 1920s, an incredible amount of time to produce competitive watercraft, particularly for such a small family-owned and operated boatyard. The Cokato Boat Works produced quality wooden boats, but as a family-owned and small boat company, sadly it was doomed to fail because of competition from large manufacturers of aluminum and fiberglass boats produced more quickly and much more cheaply. The survival of the Cokato Boat Works Outboard Motor Boat (COMB) and 2 other examples is because of the low number of boats produced by the company is significant for Minnesota maritime history and small craft studies. To contrast, the department store nature of Herter's, Inc. and the offerings of watercraft through catalog sales stands out from the other 4 companies in terms of business practice and notoriety. Herter's was known around the country as a sporting goods superstore and was widely known for their duck decoys and ammunition. Today, Herter's fiberglass runabouts with fins are sought after and collectible, much more than Herter's Model St. Lawrence (HSL) held in the MNHS collection. The plain utilitarian design of the HSL ensures that less of this type will survive on the water and as collectible watercraft. Therefore, while many Minnesotans recognize the Herter's brand, they are not aware of the watercraft produced by the company, the uniqueness of their marketing scheme, the chrome fiberglass construction material, and its natural translucence. Beyond the actual scanning and documentation of the 5 boats during the MSC Project, another of MHM's goal was to determine the usefulness of the inexpensive scanning technology chosen for the work, along with the quality of its output. MHM's maritime historians contend the MSC Project pushed the limits of the iSense scanning device. It can and will scan objects like small boats, scanning the entire watercraft at one time can cause a loss of resolution and the quality of the scans deceases. Therefore, scanning smaller areas and combining the files in software is doable but can cause differences the lightness or darkness of certain areas and shadowing becomes more of a problem. MHM tried to solve this problem with additional lighting, but again, shadows and irregularities were a problem. Also, scanners do not work well when recording shiny objects; the varnish on the COMB was a big problem causing glare and reflections. The iSense excelled in scanning details of individual attributes of the boats; this aspect of the technology makes the system suited for conservation and restoration even the 3D printing of attributes for aesthetic reasons. Regardless of the limitations of the inexpensive iSense scanner combined with a 4th Generation iPad, MHM will continue to use the technology during projects when appropriate. MHM's archaeologists are eager to use the system on wrecks in the Headwaters Mississippi River, sites that are exposed during low water conditions. When in shade, the Andy Gibson Wreck Site and the Red Mill Wreck Site are great candidates for spot-scanning of certain areas and will greatly assist the recording of archaeological features. MHM's short term goal of informing Minnesotans of the on-going MSC Project through social media has been successful, particularly through FaceBook posts that were shared to thousands of people not one negative comment has been received. MHM is eager to document more Minnesota-built small craft held in museums and historical societies, particularly those boats that represent our State's long and diverse boat-building history. It is hoped the Minnesotans will access the MSC Project Report and contact MHM with knowledge of other small craft that deserve scholarly attention. Also, MHM contends the report will be used as a guide through the scans, photographs, measurements, and descriptions of the boats - to identify boats now housed in old barns and backyards. There are more Ramaley, Dingle, and Herter's boats out there being ignored and with great optimism, MHM hopes there are more Trading Post and Cokato watercraft that survive as well.",,119,"Available upon request.

10007386,"Minnesota Suburban Lakes Nautical Archaeology Project: Anomaly Assessment",2017,9989,,,"Available upon request. Contact grants@mnhs.org","MHM short and intermediate term goals for this project were met in every measurable way. MHM's primary goals for the Minnesota Suburban Lakes Nautical Archaeology Project: Anomaly Assessment (MSLNA:AA) Project, a Phase 1 archaeological reconnaissance survey, was to determine the nature of specific anomalies - possible shipwrecks & other submerged sites-located during the Minnesota Suburban Lakes Survey Project (MSLS) conducted in 2016 & the Lake Waconia Survey Project (LWS) in 2012. The MSLNA-AA Project produced interesting and significant results investigating 29 anomalies in 3 lakes in 3 counties. MHM identified 11 wrecks, 3 maritime sites or objects, 2 other sites, and 1 otherobject in Lake Waconia, Lake Pulaski, and Prior Lake. Of the 11 wrecks, MHM acquired Minnesota Archaeological Site Numbers for 3 of them; 2 in Prior Lake and 1 in Lake Pulaski. Two of these wrecks are small wooden boats, similar in construction and design to 15 wrecks identified by MHM in Lake Minnetonka. Also, the Glasspar G-3 Ski boat Wreck, Fiberglass Hydroplane Wreck, Royal American Surfmaster 15 Wreck, and the Capsized Starcraft Wreck are the first of their manufacture to be identified on the bottom of any Minnesota lake. Additionally, visibility was much better in Lake Waconia and Lower Prior Lake than was anticipated, so the product output exceeded expectations due to water clarity - better video was produced and wreck attributes could be seen very clearly. As more data is accumulated and additional nautical archaeological sites identified and analyzed, to date submerged cultural resources from 9 suburban lakes can be compared and contrasted. Attributes noted in certain wrecks may be indicative of a particular boat builder or at least assigned to a particular type or time period. Further, to date MHM has identified 4 pontoon boat wrecks in 3 lakes; of these sites, 3 of them are capsized (Lake Pulaski, Lake Minnetonka) and 1 is upright (Lake Waconia). The wrecks and sites identified by MHM during the project represent the first submerged cultural resources recognized archaeologically in these particular bodies of water. The work completed during this project proves multi-lake diving projects are feasible and can be very successful. MHM continues to re-examine recorded sonar footage from completed remote sensing surveys. Targeted re-scanning has occurred in several lakes using knowledge gained from the comparison of anomalies that have proven to be wrecks or other submerged cultural resources in past projects. With improved technology, future scanning projects will produce clearer data. The results of the MSLNA-AA Project summarized above is connected to all the work that came before and will come after its completion. At this point, watercraft located in Minnesota's suburban lakes represent nearly 1,000 years of Minnesota's maritime history and nautical archaeology. In the historic period, the known wrecks represented in these lakes span over 140 years of local maritime culture. It is clear even through this Phase 1 pre-disturbance nautical archaeological investigation that the types of sites that exist in Minnesota's suburban lakes documented to date are diverse, archaeologically and historically significant, and worthy of great attention now and well into the future. Additionally, MHM's vetting of volunteer divers choosing only ethical, responsible people who understand our Mission to locate, document, preserve, and conserve Minnesota's finite submerged cultural resources within a not-for-profit paradigm led to a productive and honest working environment in the field. Fundamentally, MHM conducted sound nautical and maritime archaeology based on meaningful research plans created because of decades of underwater archaeological experience, strong maritime historical research that produced trustworthy data for analysis and future use, and we chose a group of trustworthy volunteers to assist us with the fulfillment of this project's goals.",,473,"Available upon request.

10007387,"Minnesota Suburban Lakes Survey Project",2017,9952,,,"Available upon request. Contact grants@mnhs.org","MHM short term goal for this project were exceeded. MHM's primary goal for the MSLS Project, a set of 6 pre-disturbance Phase 1 underwater archaeological side and down imaging sonar surveys, was to record sonar footage of each of the lakes and analyze the data. The quality of the sonar images recorded during the MSLS Project have allowed MHM to make preliminary identifications of several nautical, maritime, and underwater sites in all 6 lakes. Before the start of the project, no nautical/underwater/maritime sites have been recognized on the bottom of the lakes by the Office of the State Archaeologist. There are still no recognized sites in the 6 lakes yet because MHM cannot apply for archaeological site numbers through the OSA until dive reconnaissance has been completed and the wrecks/sites analyzed. However, the potential is high that the wrecks discerned in the sonar data are archaeological sites or have the potential to be sites in the near future. During the project, MHM identified 13 wrecks through their distinctive sonar signatures, another 22 possible wrecks, 6 poke nets, 5 boat lifts/canopies, and many other maritime and underwater sites. This information was presented to the public in 6 separate reports: Minnesota Suburban Lakes Survey Project: Lake Elmo Survey Report, Lake Johanna Survey Report, Medicine Lake Survey Report, Lake Pulaski Survey Report, Lake Sylvia Survey Report, and the Prior Lake Survey Report. The sonar images of the 13 wrecks range from simple boat shapes to detailed hull attributes evident. Using MHM's knowledge from previous SCUBA reconnaissance projects, at least 5 anomalies are boat lifts, boat canopies, or boat life/canopy combinations. This type of dock infrastructure often ends up on the bottom of lakes in Minnesota due to high winds and they have distinctive sonar signatures. The poke nets in Prior Lake, Medicine Lake, Lake Sylvia, and Lake Johanna are significant to Minnesota maritime and underwater archaeology, maritime history, and fishing history. The poke nets or at least poke net frames are hundreds of feet long each. Poke nets hang on poles under water and snag fish, and are well known in Scotland where they are placed in tidal zones. It is unknown who erected the nets in each lake at this time, or when they were constructed. However, they are in somewhat deep water, so they may have put together during the severe 1930s drought. MHM's short term plan to educate the general public through social media, public exhibitions, and presentations has met with success - including 2 archaeology fairs encompassing 3 days, 2 public speaking engagements in December 2016 and January 2017, and engagements on FaceBook that have reached hundreds of people. MHM's followers have learned about the impressive maritime history of Minnesota particularly the 6 lakes studied during this project - that MHM is continually uncovering. The submerged cultural resources on the bottom of these 6 suburban lakes were complete unknowns prior to the commencement of the MSLS Project. Now, MHM has confirmed the existence of several dozen sites; future work is now necessary to confirm or disprove hypotheses about the sites, and answer archaeological questions MHM will formulate in in future projects. An online dialog about the significance and rarity of Minnesota's protected nautical, maritime, and underwater cultural resources is on-going and will continue. During the MSLS Project, MHM exceeded expectations and produced substantial and meaningful results from this project due to sound fieldwork planning, solid methodology employed during the fieldwork that provided good data, and the utilization of knowledge gained from MHM's other remote sensing surveys. MHM's Mission to locate, document, preserve, conserve, and analyze Minnesota's finite submerged cultural resources within a not-for-profit paradigm was served by the completion of the MSLS Project.

This outreach resulted in 15 new groups enrolling in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 program year, including Carlton, Cologne, Dilworth, Faribault, Grand Marais, Grand Rapids, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, Owatonna, Pine City, St. Anthony Village, and Virginia, Minnesota. • Website and social media improvements are a continuous process; staff continue to increase access to resources for students and adults to access, especially so those who are new and/or unfamiliar with YIG programming can more easily identify opportunities. • We completed Model Assembly and Model UN printed materials. • We completed two short promotional videos for Model UN and Model Assembly; these videos have posted on YouTube to show audiences across the state what Youth in Government programs are and how they work. • We completed YAPP, a digital program app, for each conference. Participants now have access to a digital conference book and resources that increase engagement with the program. • Both 2017-2018 YIG conferences had a 24 hour “YIG Sampler.” Model Assembly served two groups (two adults, six students) and Model UN served three groups (four adults, five students).

Subject to evaluation criteria in Minnesota Rules, part 6136.0900, priority must be given to acquisition of lands that are eligible for the native prairie bank under Minnesota Statutes, section 84.96, or lands adjacent to protected native prairie. A list of proposed land acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan and must be consistent with the priorities in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan.",,"This program?s top criterion for selecting projects is the presence of remnant native prairie. As noted above, 486 acres of remnant native prairie were permanently protected. Another important goal is protecting lands in existing complexes of habitat and protected lands were in areas identified as a Prairie Core or Corridor in the MN Prairie Plan. We also target lands with high-quality habitat and the rare species this habitat supports. Data from the Minnesota Biological Survey identified nearly 2/3 of the protected acres as having significant biodiversity. These lands support a wide range of prairie species of concern and the vegetative communities that support them, including wet, mesic, and dry hill prairies, wet seepage prairies, calcareous fens, and migratory stopover habitats for water birds. Species benefited by the protected parcels include Blanding's turtles, the creek heelsplitter mussel, nesting upland sandpipers, small white lady?s slipper, and many others.

The Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge (NTP NWR) Land Acquisition 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 program also includes a relatively small restoration/enhancement component of the acres acquired. While the prioritization criteria favor parcels that are in good condition, because of the nature of parcel ownership some properties included small areas of converted or degraded lands needing grassland or wetland restoration/enhancement. This work is completed only on parcels acquired with this funding, as needed to get these properties into a sustainable condition for inclusion into the NTP NWR and future management.

Originally, we had planned to install the new LED lights in September and have a November production. Since the school was using the facility we only had time to install the lights. 2) Fifteen concerts per year has proven to be an unrealistic goal. We only had two concerts. Our intention was to have concerts on the lower stage on weekends when the productions were still in rehearsal, closing off the upper stage that would have the set in construction. Our problem is that most bands require both levels of the stage. 3) In 2016 we averaged 100 attendees per theatrical performance with our summer productions. In 2017 our June play Red, White and Tuna averaged less than 30 and our August play 3 Murders and it’s only Monday averaged 70. In February of 2017 we averaged only 40 per night.

Increase average non-student audience size by 15% through the methods in Goal 2 in by the end of the second performing arts season. Goal 1 Method and Evaluation: At two performances in the season, collect audience surveys; use an online survey to capture input from potential attendees; mail 200 surveys to random residents within a 25-mile radius; dedicate discussion time with performing arts director, board and membership on audience development. Results of feedback will be compiled, shared with board and membership and audience and will inform future programming. Goal 2 Method and Evaluation: Electronic media activity will be assessed at the beginning and end of the grant period. Between those two times of measurement, there will be a consistent effort to communicate via multiple electronic methods to reach potential audiences. More posts, more fans, more new material on the website, more time with the Dawson-Boyd Arts Association presence scrolling through the eyes of potential audience members! Goal 3 Method and Evaluation: When tickets are purchased, there is always an opportunity to ask, How did you hear about the concert?"" Phone sales, web sales and box office window sales will all provide data and when possible, will include this same question while we are pursuing a new audience segment. We can even ask from stage for a show of hands!""","As mentioned in the Year One Interim report, reduced support from the school district for the performing arts director position had a huge impact on the organization's focus in Year Two of the grant period. Additionally, the performing arts director's husband died midway through the season, after a lengthy illness. Understandably, this had an enormous impact on the board members' engagement [increased] and the director's ability to facilitate grant goals [decreased]. As a result of this stressful time in the organization's history, however, the board of directors is more cohesive, involved and focused - because of the need to ""step up"" during the difficult times in the director's personal life in the last few years AND because of the transition of a board that holds the responsibility of sharing in the funding for the director position. It would have been impossible to predict these changes in board maturity and growth two years ago, but happily, there is renewed energy in the governance of DBAA. We have seen increased engagement of board members: board meeting attendance, concert attendance and participation in planning for programming and for the annual fundraiser.

We maintain full classes for our afterschool and summer youth programs - 10% of kids participating receive financial support through our scholarship program. In 2017 we added a monthly free program for preschool kids and caregivers. Our visual arts exhibition series has been recognized on MPR, regional art blogs and local media. The program has increased our regional visibility among artists and other arts organizations. Diversify Income- We have increased our facility rental program 3% in 2017. Our gift shop income is increasing due to increased attendance and expanded inventory. In 2017 we earned nearly $2000 in gift shop/gallery sales up from $185 in 2016.

A third goal is to further develop the Spoon Gathering and seek the development of other community arts events. Milan Village Arts School has created a unique woodworking event that has reignited the interest in Spoon Carving in both the US, Canada and Europe. We plan to learn from the process and develop similar arts festivals. Class evaluation is made by the number of classes successfully run, the total number of students registered and student feedback. The Artist's Studio program is evaluated through the number of studios, the students attending and student feedback. The success of the Spoon Gathering is evaluated through attendee numbers and student feedback.","1) Class numbers have been stable over the last year rather than increasing by 25%. The school lost several key classes over the last 12 months and is looking for replacement instructors. 2) An expansion of artist studios: The school currently has 4 studios: Silversmithing, Framing, Weaving, and Woodworking. All 4 are solid, well equipped, operational, and well patronized. 3) The seed for a new Youth Scholarship Program was initiated in 2017. In 2018, MVAS will launch a new Youth Scholarship Program for teenagers. Students will be able to either apply for tuition for a particular class or join a special youth art class. Tuition will be fully funded. The seed money came from the Fondell Family and money donated in Dan Fondell's name. Dan was a long term board member who passed away in late 2017. The school currently has $2,700 in the fund. 4) Along with the NeDA facility in St. Paul, MVAS will hold classes in a new second facility in St. Paul - http://www.schafferfineartservices.com. 5) A new event has been put on the back burner due to an expanded Spoon Gathering. Additionally, the school's membership has grown substantially during 2017 to approx. 200. As many of these memberships are Household memberships, the number of actual supporters is much greater. The expanded membership has been the result of a year end membership/donation drive. Available funds were moved upstairs to complete work on the original building.

The 2014 Minnesota State Parks and Trails Feel the Wow of Fall campaign was highly successful resulting in an increase in visitors as measured by sales of the Minnesota State Parks one-day and year-round permits and occupancy rates during September/October (combined). The Minnesota State Parks Gift Card - Holidays Campaigns 2014 promoted outdoor recreation through increased sales of the Minnesota State Parks gift card for the holiday season. The number of impressions does not include the Minnesota State Parks and Trails For Real Campaign 2015 (advertising interpretive/naturalist programs) as much of it occurred in Fiscal Year 2016. Many impressions cannot be measured for example commercials that stream on radio stations’ websites or other websites. There aren’t reporting services that measure these.

As a result, Minnesota’s pesticide water monitoring program is one of the most comprehensive programs in the country and is regarded as a national leader. The MDA increased the number of detectable pesticides from 44 in 2009 to 185 in 2022.

Upon entering the museum's Then Now Wow exhibit gallery, students receive handheld devices installed with the mobile application. The application enhances students' experiences and promotes interaction with the physical exhibit by encouraging them to answer questions, solve problems and collect digital artifacts related to the exhibit and MNHS collection items. Students and teachers can access this ""digital backpack"" of collected artifacts back in the classroom, further expanding on the field trip experience. In FY17, MNHS launched the ""Tipi hub,"" which was developed with Dakota artists and activists to add more American Indian content to Play the Past. The new addition includes quests exploring Dakota art, language and food. MNHS is also expanding Play the Past into the Minnesota's Greatest Generation exhibit, with support from a National Endowment for Humanities grant.

The project targeted wetlands and prairies, two of the three most important habitats used by the Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Of the nearly 1200 known wildlife species in Minnesota, 292 species, or approximately one-fourth, are at risk because they are rare; their populations are declining due to loss of habitat. SGCN in the RIM Wetlands area include the Five-lined Skink, Blanding's Turtle, Two-spotted Skipper, Northern Pintail, American Black Duck, Grasshopper Sparrow, Upland Sandpiper, Sedge Wren, Dickcissel, and Western Grebe. In addition to the SGCN, the threatened or endangered species nclude the Dakota Skipper and Poweshiek Skipperling. Diverse vegetation, access to a water resource, and protection from pesticides are also important to Minnesota's native pollinator species. BWSR's native vegetation guidelines and pollinator initiative protect native pollinators. Complexes and corridors targeted through RIM Wetlands provide areas that are safe from pesticides and natural passageways for pollinators. Targeted pollinator species include the Monarch Butterfly and solitary bee species including Leafcutter Bees, Mason Bees, and Yellow-faced Bees. Prairie wetlands are important for migratory waterfowl. Although the North American Prairie Pothole region contains only about 10% of the waterfowl nesting habitat on the continent, it produces 70% of all North American waterfowl. The loss of Minnesota?s prairie and wetland habitat has led to the decline of many wildlife and plant species. RIM Wetlands has protected and restored this habitat over many years and continues to do this important work using CREP.","A total of 4,369 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 4,369 in Easements, 0 in Enhance.",22847200,USDA-FSA,13339300,,,1.65,BWSR,"State Government","Under the CREP partnership with USDA, 71 easements were recorded on a total of 4,365 acres to restore previously drained wetlands and adjacent uplands.

Through a combination of a scoring and ranking process and eligibility screening, each application was evaluated, with the applications that provided the greatest habitat and environmental benefits after restoration and protection being selected for funding. RIM Wetlands Phase 7 protected and restored wetlands and adjacent upland area to prairie via the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). The project area consisted of the 54 counties within the CREP area with 4,365 acres of permanently protected and restored wetlands and uplands on 71 easements. These acres provide a healthy and plentiful supply of habitat for fish, game, and wildlife, especially for waterfowl and upland birds. CREP utilizes both a 15-year CRP contract and a permanent RIM easement. RIM Wetlands Phase 7 was a local-state-federal partnership delivered locally by Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) and BWSR. In addition, the CREP partnership is possible through collaboration among many local, state and federal partners including the USDA-Farm Service Agency (FSA), USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Pheasants Forever (PF), the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR), Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and over 70 supporting organizations and agencies. BWSR staff coordinate with Federal partners on the overall CREP process and program oversight. In addition, BWSR Staff are also responsible for easement acquisition. Local staff promote CRP contracts and RIM easements, assist with easement processing and provide key essential technical assistance and project management services. Some highlights of the easements funded through this project include: The largest easement funded in this project, 73-03-20-01 in Stearns County, included 9 wetland basins on over 100 acres and approximately 250 acres of prairie and forest as well as a portion of Kolling Creek. The landowner donated approximately 50 acres to the easement area. Easement 56-01-17-01-W, in Otter Tail, was the first wetland application enrolled in this CREP. The total easement area is 84.6 acres, 25.8 donated by the landowner. The landowners remaining adjacent property (534 acres) are protected via easements with Minnesota Land Trust. The payment rates were consistent throughout this appropriation but CRP annual rental rates fluctuated, so the state's contribution to the overall easement cost varied in reaction to the CRP rate.",,2016-07-01,2023-04-18,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Sharon,Doucette,"Board of Water and Soil Resources","520 Lafayette Road North ","St. Paul",MN,55155,6515392567,sharon.doucette@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Becker, Blue Earth, Carver, Clay, Cottonwood, Dodge, Faribault, Freeborn, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, Lyon, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mower, Nicollet, Otter Tail, Ramsey, Redwood, Renville, Rock, Sibley, Stearns, Wilkin","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest, Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rim-wetlands-phase-7,,,,

Group practices will be held on a daily basis throughout the week for a Symphonia (less experienced players alongside professionals) and for the adult performing group. Also, throughout the week, sectionals will be held daily for each string category, e.g. first violin, second violin, viola, and lower strings sections. Sectionals will be led by the guest artists. Individual practice is expected. The week culminates in a concert performance open to the public. Tangible outcomes will be measured by number of participants attending as well size of audience. Area residents and tourists, as audience, will have the opportunity to hear a live orchestral performance of major string works. Local musicians, after a week of intense rehearsal and mentorship will improve their skills and creative thinking. The project will be evaluated by the number of camp participants, as well as size of the audience at the performance. Comments from the audience will indicate the success of the performance. We project that we will have standing room-only at our final concert at the end of the week. It is anticipated that the musicians will be excited to perform and this special feeling will lead to rejuvenation for the 2017-18 season. The participants and guest artists desire to return to the camp in future years is also a success indicator.","String players were pleased to join other musicians and to play challenging music from 1600-2017.

The Root River Field to Stream Partnership (RRFSP) has helped identify critical areas and worked with farmers to implement conservation practices. This project has helped install and support: Over 105,000 feet of grassed waterways 15 new water and sediment control basins and catchment ponds Rehabilitation of an outdated flood control structure Planting of 370 acres of cover crops Feedlot improvements include an increase in manure storage to reduce manure applications on frozen soil, moving milk house wastewater systems, and abandonment of a feedlot in a high-risk location The highest runoff risk field in one of the study areas (80 acres) was enrolled into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). An additional 50 acres was enrolled in other areas. Over 50% of the highest priority conservation practices were addressed by the end of 2017, about 70% addressed as of end of 2022. $1.8 million in state and federal conservation funds were distributed across three watersheds over a five-year period (60% on vegetative & structural practices, 40% on feedlot & manure waste improvements) In the glacial till headwaters watershed, 64% of the High Risk Area has been treated (after 2021), prior to 2018 only 8% of the High Risk Area had been treated. The RRFSP has leveraged Clean Water Fund dollars with over $5 million in private, state, and federal dollars to support conservation efforts. If CWF dollars from other agencies is excluded, over $3.5 million has been leveraged.                                                                                                                                                                               The Red River Valley Drainage Water Management Project (RRV DWM) is evaluating drainage water management on operating farms as a practice to mitigate flooding and add water quality and quantity benefits. The project has shown that:  Controlled drainage is a viable option in the lake bottom landscape of the Red River Basin During 2017-2020, controlled drainage reduced nitrate-N losses by 22% and reduced drainage volume by over 13% compared to conventional subsurface drainage During 2018-2020, a saturated buffer had capacity to treat 92% of the drainage water from an 11-acre research field and removed over 76% of the nitrate in the drainage water (including water through the bypass) Since 2015, nearly 3,500 people have been engaged in RRV DWM outreach presentations, and field days/events. (Overall: 49 presentations, 19 field days/events, 4 poster displays, 2 trade journal articles, 3 publications/reports, 2 data requests) The RRV DWM has leveraged Clean Water Fund dollars with over $1 million in private, Local Government Unit and federal dollars to support drainage research and outreach. Project is a partner site for the USDA-funded $5M Transforming Drainage project.

Progress Indicator: Physical materials gathered to one location, inventory created. Status: Complete - all materials have been located and moved to the VocalEssence offices except for a small number of items owned by and housed at Minnesota Public Radio, which will be addressed in the next phase of the project. An inventory catalog was created based on the format of UMedia, where the files will eventually be stored. Intermediate: VocalEssence will gain knowledge of the scope of work required to implement Phase 2 of the project, which includes procuring rights, digitization of materials, and developing a web content delivery system. Progress Indicator: Information gathered to create an estimate of cost and revised work plan for Phase 2 in advance of 2017 Minnesota Historic and Cultural Heritage Large Grant application due date. Status: Complete - VocalEssence has the knowledge to work on applying for funding and implementing Phase 2 of the project. It was determined based on the results of this project that procuring streaming rights to the files will be more complicated and time-consuming than originally thought, so that portion of the project will be moved to a third phase, along with the web content delivery system. Long-Term: The long-term goal of this project is to develop a process for past and future complete digitization of all VocalEssence audio-visual materials, ensuring the historic preservation and making those materials available for public use. Progress Indicator: All materials delivered to the University of Minnesota Performing Arts Archive, digitally converted, and searchable and accessible to the public via the VocalEssence online repertoire database. Status: In progress - VocalEssence staff were trained by the project archivist to begin the process of cataloging and digitization of future VocalEssence recordings in order to develop a procedure for processing all incoming recordings.

","The Twin Cities metropolitan area is home to three million people, over half of Minnesota's population. Over 70% of the region's population relies on groundwater resources for their source of water supply. Securing their safe and plentiful drinking water, while protecting the region's diverse water resources, requires coordinated and ongoing effort. Although the seven-county region is relatively water-rich, the region's steady population growth, increased groundwater pumping, changing land use, and variable weather and climate is challenging some communities' ability to meet current and future demand. Our rising dependence on groundwater for drinking water, particularly since 1980, has become a significant issue. In parts of the region, groundwater levels are declining. In some cases, it is affecting, or has the potential to affect, lake and wetland levels. Additionally, groundwater quality is a challenge that many cities are trying to address.

The framework uses five ecological components to organize and deliver information about watershed health conditions in Minnesota. The five components are hydrology, connectivity, biology, geomorphology, and water quality. Statewide GIS data from DNR and partner agencies are used to calculate health scores that reveal similarities and differences between watersheds. Patterns at the major watershed and sub-watershed (catchment) scale help resource managers identify vulnerabilities and target efforts for the greatest benefit. The WHAF website provides details about each health score and key concepts for understanding watershed systems. The WHAF Watershed Map makes complex issues easier to visualize. Developed in 2012, this interactive map now delivers 41 health scores organized by the five components of watershed health, together with over 200 related data layers. A matrix tool summarizes the health scores as an interactive table, and a land cover tool summarizes landscape and water use change over time.The WHAF also delivers downloadable Major Watershed reports; the Watershed Context Report, Watershed Climate Summary, and Watershed Health Report Card. The Stream Protection Priorities for WRAPS data layer (an interagency product) is now updated annually in the WHAF Map. A new WHAF for Lakes application provides health scores, maps, and data summaries for different aspects of lake health. WHAF trainings, presentations, online use guides and a quarterly newsletter support those working in the evolving field of watershed science. WHAF Watershed Health Scores and WHAF Lake Health Scores are also available through Minnesota's GeoCommons for use in GIS analysis. ","The DNR and agency partners have been charged with creating Healthier Watersheds for Minnesota. The Watershed Health Assessment Famework (WHAF) creates health scores that compare the ecological health of Minnesota's watersheds.

Of this amount, up to $180,000 is to establish a monitoring and enforcement fund, as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17.

",,"Minnesota Land Trust’s Wetlands Habitat Protection Program area extends from Meeker northwest to Becker County, located along a vast glacial moraine system at the edge of the of western Minnesota. This prairie pothole country is the core of Minnesota’s “duck factory” and is central to one of North America’s most important flyways for migratory waterfowl. In this second phase of its Wetland Habitat Protection Program, the Land Trust focused its activities toward the protection of important wetland/upland complexes of habitat within the program area. In Phase 2 of this program, the Land Trust protected 1,026 acres of high priority wetland and associated upland habitats and nearly 17.56 miles of shoreland along lakes, streams and rivers by acquiring conservation easements from willing landowners. This exceeded the proposed target output by 276 acres. The Land Trust accepted one fully donated easement, negotiated bargain sale purchases on an additional four easements, and purchased four at full appraised value. Total leverage from donated value of the easements is placed at $386,975, in excess of that proposed. This value was substantiated in all nine easements through appraisals. The success of the program in producing high levels of donated value was due in part to both the high levels of interest among landowners in participating in the program, and the use of a market-based approach to incentivize landowners to contribute in this fashion. The program targeted projects that helped fill gaps in existing public ownership, contained the highest-quality habitat, and provided the greatest leverage to the state. Landowners submitted applications to the program via a RFP process, whereby proposals were evaluated based on a combination ecological factors (size of the property, condition of wetland and associated upland habitat, proximity to other protected lands, and other factors); landowners were also asked to submit the level of funding necessary for them to participate in the program. Those properties with the best ratio of environmental benefits to easement cost became the highest priority for acquisition. Nine properties were protected through this Phase 2 grant, including the following (each of which more thoroughly illustrated through a project summary sheet that is uploaded as part of this final report): Cooks Lake (Vergas Trail Timberlands, LLC) - This 116-acre property builds on a large complex of private lands protected by conservation easements along the shore of Cooks Lake in Otter Tail County. The total complex now totals 760 acres. The property protects high quality mesic hardwood forests, wetlands, and 4,072 feet of shoreline on Cooks Lake. Little Crow Lake (Kluck) - This spectacular 263-acre property encompasses nearly the entirety (13,719 feet of shoreline) of Little Crow Lake in Otter Tail County. Mesic hardwood forest, wetlands and grasslands are draped across the rugged hills of the property, providing habitat for a variety of SGCN including common loon and trumpeter swan. Little Pine Lake (Durrant) - Duel Creek, a designated trout stream, winds its way through this 164-acre forested property in Todd County. The property contains nearly all of the fishable reach (6,726 feet) of this trout stream, one of only four in Todd County. The property is dominated by hardwood forests on rugged, rolling terrain. Mineral Lake (Harris) - This 126-acre easement in Otter Tail County comprises much of a large, forested peninsula extending into Mineral Lake. Basswood-Bur Oak-(Green Ash) forests, wetlands, and 20,924 feet of shoreland are protected through this impressive property. Sauk River (Dodge-Dunker) - This 71-acre easement is one of three contiguous properties along the Sauk River in Stearns County protected through this grant. The property is a mix of floodplain forests, marshland and dry savanna on the slopes of an esker, and includes 6,321 feet of shoreline along the Sauk River. Sauk River (Klehr Trust & Klehr) - This 37-acre easement in Stearns County contains high quality floodplain forests located along nearly 2 miles of the Sauk River and its meandered channels and oxbows. Sauk River (Klehr) - This 82-acre property in Stearns County contains extensive floodplain forests along three miles of the Sauk River. The property contains a mixture of floodplain forest, marshland and dry savanna. Sauk River (Lindell) - This 77-acre easement protects nearly one-half mile of shoreline along the Sauk River and abuts the Cold Spring Heron Colony SNA in Stearns County. Restoration of a degraded fen is underway in a joint project between the Minnesota DNR, The Nature Conservancy, Minnesota Land Trust and Sauk River Watershed District. Spitzer Lake (Burkett) - This 87-acre project located on the shores of Long Lake and Spitzer Lake in Otter Tail County is part of a complex of protected lands totaling over 3,000 acres. The property contains over 9,145 feet of shoreline, mesic hardwood forest and grasslands. Landowner interest for the program has increased significantly over the course of this grant, with in excess of 50 landowners applying through our November 2018 RFP. Across Phases 1 and 2 of this program, the Land Trust has protected 2,990 acres of important wildlife habitat and 32.4 miles of shoreline, while leveraging $1,596,680 in landowner donation of easement value.

",,"With assistance from the Minnesota Outdoor Heritage Fund, in Phase II the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) Minnesota Public Lands Program continued to compete targeted young forest and brushland habitat projects on County, State, Federal, and Tribal lands with collaborative assistance of associated public and tribal agencies. These projects were implemented using science-based best management practices (BMPs) to create diverse breeding habitat for the golden-winged warbler (GWWA), American woodcock (AMWO), and associated wildlife species within the northern Minnesota focal area. This project is part of a cooperative, full life-cycle, international initiative to restore the population GWWA, which declined by 68% since 1966. Additionally, throughout its range, AMWO populations also steadily declined over the last quarter century at a rate of 1-2% per year. Project areas were located primarily in non-commercial habitat types, the vast majority being lowland or upland brush sites that contained very old and dense brush species, including alder, willow, and hazel; with alder being the most common. Stems measured 1-5” (avg. 2-3"") diameter and grew in dense clumps that had a higher aggregate diameter at the base. Average brush height was approximately 10’ within deciduous or mixed forest matrix. These closed brush canopies limited or removed the ability of ground nesting avian species such as the GWWA and AMWO to occupy sites for the purposes of nesting and brood rearing. Habitat projects concentrated on brush cutting treatments to emulate natural disturbance. Post-treatment habitat conditions included a mix of scattered and clumped tree species dominated by hardwoods that were retained as residual structure along with scattered brush. Woody retention of vertical and horizontal structural diversity depended on a suite of site level factors, including size and shape of the site, distance from forest edge, adjacent forest characteristics, and the number of trees present in a given area. When project areas did not have sufficient tree cover to maintain 10-15 mature trees per acre, well distributed clumps of brush (10-15/acre, ≥25% cover) were retained. Some larger project areas also retained undisturbed legacy patches (>0.25 acres in size). Feathered edges at the site boundaries were also emphasized to create a gradual transition into the adjacent forest when possible. Most project sites were located in brushland/forest interfaces, though a small number of projects were completed in aspen cover types to create or maintain habitat openings and multi-aged stands. The latter sites were completed using similar methodology as those described in brushland habitats in terms of treatment prescriptions and retention of residual woody structure. Monitoring efforts were completed by Cornell University and Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Research Institute and included project sites from both the ABC MN Public Lands Program (projects completed via funding from MN OHF 'Young Forest Conservation Phase I & II') and the ABC MN Private Lands Program (projects completed via funding from the NRCS Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP)). It is notable that the ABC Private Lands Program is separate and complimentary to the ABC Public Lands Program. No projects on private lands were completed with funding via MN OHF. Point count monitoring indicated that GWWA local abundance is increasing where ABC project work has occurred, and that GWWA population response has been positive to BMP implementation. Occupancy rates on shrubland project sites exceed 95% in both Western Minnesota (98% of sites; 95% CI: 92–100%) and Eastern Minnesota (97% of sites; 95% CI: 88–99%)(McNeil et al. 2020, Biological Conservation). These sites were monitored between 2015 and 2017 (with a subset of sites also monitored in 2018) and included project sites since the winter 2013-14 project season. Because most of the projects completed on private lands were timber harvests, it can be safely stated that a significant proportion (and possibly the majority) of shrubland sites monitored were located on public lands completed in Phase I or II of the MN Public Lands Program, though ABC does not have this information due to the independent nature of the study. Relative abundance on shrubland habitats rises from approximately 1.5 to 3.0 male GWWA per point count on treated vs. untreated sites, respectively (publication in peer review process). Monitoring was also begun this year to examine monarch and other pollinator responses within managed sites. AMWO also has been observed as increasing in local abundance at these project locations with 92% of treated sites across all public and private lands project sites occupied by AMWO, at a density of 0.516 singing males/ha observed on shrubland sites. In Phase II, the ABC Public Lands Coordinator continued expand ABC's partner base throughout northern Minnesota by engaging public and tribal lands partner agencies in project design and implementation and by participating in educational workshops. It quickly became apparent in Phase I and continued to be evident in Phase II that public and tribal lands agencies had a need and interest to complete habitat projects of this type. As a result, the number of project partners has grown every year since the inception this program. Natural resource managers across county, state, federal, and tribal partners have expressed that ABC is filling a much needed role in Minnesota forest conservation, implementing projects that otherwise would not be completed. As a driving force in cooperative forest conservation, ABC was also a founding member of the Minnesota Forest Habitat Collaborative (MFHC). The MFHC was created to provide a round table community forum to identify, promote, and deliver collaborative conservation, outreach, and research programs that assist natural resource managers across jurisdictional and ownership boundaries to maintain, enhance, and restore MN’s forest habitat for the benefit of associated resident and migratory wildlife species.
