The 5,000 acres of wetland enhancement will provide wetland management actions identified to support SGCN, including reversal of wetland degradation and control of invasives. In the Minnesota County Biological Survey description of the marsh community, special attention is given to two issues faced in Minnesota marshes - stable high water levels that reduce species diversity, often to a point at which a monotypic system evolves, and the ""invasion of marshes by the non-native species narrow-leaved cattail"" and its hybrids. Both of these issues were directly addressed by the major cattail control activities involving the Roving Habitat Crew, along with water level management undertaken through channel cleanouts or that will now be possible through because of newly installed wetland infrastructure projects.","A total of 5,024 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 5,024 in Enhance.",60000,PPJV,1653600,44300,,2,DNR,"State Government","Funding provided through this appropriation enhanced 5,024 acres of wetland habitat.

Finally, survey and design work was initiated on four projects to prepare for future construction.","ML2016 Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancement Phase 8 entailed multiple components. * Engineering and Construction and Shallow Lake/Wetland Infrastructure Projects - Eight individual projects were undertaken with funding from this appropriation. One project, Moose/Willow in Aitkin County, entailed extensive cleanout of an outlet channels, plus a new water control structure leading to better water level management. Downstream channel work is necessary outlets become clogged with sediment and vegetation and water levels in shallow lakes become abnormally high. Specialized equipment known as a Cookie Cutter removed accumulated sediments and other obstructions to surveyed levels. The shallow lake returned to a lower levels with resulting habitat benefits. Seven projects - Plum Creek (Murray County), Gopher Ridge (Kandiyohi County), Sedan Pond (Pope County), Bradshaw Lake (Scott County), Rum River and Jones Pool (both at Mille Lacs WMA, Mille Lacs County), and Amiret WMA (Lyon County) - were completed and involved engineering and construction of wetland/shallow lake infrastructure such as dikes and water control structures. In all of these projects, engineering was done in-house (i.e. DNR engineers) and private contractors were used for the construction. Finally, four infrastructure projects were engineered only, with construction planned for the future. Doing this initial engineering allows us to determine project feasibility, identify construction obstacles, and obtain accurate cost estimates for materials and construction. These engineering-only projects were accomplished with in-house (i.e., DNR) engineers. *Cattail Spraying - A DNR helicopter has been equipped with an OHF-funded spray unit and avionics to allow it to spray invasive cattails - one of the most significant problems that impact wetlands statewide. Utilizing this helicopter, in conjunction with Roving Habitat Crew members working as ground support, significant acres of invasive cattail can be sprayed annually. Funding from this appropriation was used to purchase herbicide and pay helicopter expenses. 1,762 acres were enhanced. This operation is highly coordinated with project solicitation in late winter. Activities that have to occur before actual spraying occurs include landing site selection and mowing, ground crew (i.e. roving habitat crew members) training, herbicide purchase, coordination with DNR Law Enforcement (who have oversight of the helicopter and for whom the pilot works), permit applications, and public notice publication. * Roving Habitat Crews - Roving Habitat Crews are teams of DNR staff who are equipped and trained to perform habitat enhancement projects on public lands. Funding from this appropriation was provided to the Region 3 Roving Habitat Crew to enable it to perform wetland enhancement activities through the addition of two roving crew members and their associated costs for three fiscal years (FY18-FY20).

In addition to wildlife benefits, the lands acquired and restored through this grant will provide improved water quality, groundwater recharge, and flood abatement benefits. These strategies are well tested and are supported by the greater conservation community in Minnesota. Hunting and fishing stakeholders are very interested in increasing public access for hunting and fishing. To address concerns related to county tax revenues due to acquiring public land, the USFWS and PF will notify counties prior to the acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the USFWS will make a one-time payment (called a Trust Fund payment) to the county where the property is located. In addition, the USFWS will make annual refuge revenue sharing payments for all fee lands within the respective counties. All wetlands, on the properties acquired, will be restored by either surface ditch ?plugs,"" breaking sub-surface tile lines, or other best practices for wetland restoration. Grasslands will be restored by planting site-appropriate native grasses and forbs following known best practices for the establishment. Grassland restoration on individual tracts may take three to five years, involving one to two years of post-acquisition farming to prepare the site for seeding (e.g. weed management issues, chemical carryover, other site-specific issues).

New WMA acquisition acre targets by LSOHC Sections will be consistent with the recommendations of The Citizens Advisory Committee report of 2002? Wildlife Management Area Acquisition The Next 50 Years. Additionally, this program will protect 275 acres of native prairie as state Scientific & Natural Areas (SNAs) and perpetual Native Prairie Bank (NPB) easements. This will provide habitat for rare species, Species in Greatest Conservation Need as identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) and provide habitat for other game and nongame wildlife species. All public SNA acquired through this project will be open to all forms of hunting and fishing. This program will also accelerate the restoration and enhancement of approximately 20,400 acres of native prairie vegetation on Wildlife Management Areas, Aquatic Management Areas, Scientific and Natural Areas, and State Forests. This will provide much needed wildlife habitat for a host of grassland and farmland species. Prairie restoration efforts will center on site preparation, seeding of local ecotype seed, post-seed management to assure success, and seed harvest of local ecotype seed for prairie restoration at other public land sites. Prairie enhancement efforts will center on prescribed burning, managing woody cover encroachment, and interseeding. Goat prairie enhancements are a distinct target in the Southeast Forests. There is a very significant unmet need for prescribed burning on public lands. We will hire a roving burn crew for 3 years. The crew will be fully equipped and self sufficient and will therefore be capable of burning an additional 7,000 acres per year. Fifty-percent of their time will be spent on burning (this is the entire spring and fall burn season). During the non-burn season the crew will complete 1,000 acres woody encroachment management annually (25%) on WMAs. The remaining 25% will be spent on other WMA habitat management activities. This work is all supplemental to the existing DNR burning and woody cover management programs ","The availability of public hunting lands does not meet the expectations of a growing Minnesota population. Due to the current recession, land prices have stabilized or declined and a short-term opportunity exists to purchase more value for our expenditures. The Citizens Advisory Committee on WMA acquisitions recommended due to long-term rising land costs and continued habitat loss, acquisition efforts should be accelerated to 21,000 acres per year for 10 years completing 30% of the 50 year goal of 702,200 acres. This objective has not been met due to inadequate funding. Supplementing our existing program with accelerated WMA acquisition will require additional temporary staff to acquire and develop new lands. Temperate grasslands are considered to be one of the most altered ecosystems on the earth. Native prairie and associated species have been targeted as critical habitats by the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS). Since 1987, MCBS has evaluated and mapped about 200,000 acres of remaining prairie in the state as compared to the nearly 18 million acres identified about 100 years ago based on the public land surveys. Only half of this remaining prairie habitat is currently under some form of permanent protection. Although Minnesota DNR has the training and know-how to restore high quality prairie vegetation, current funding is insufficient to meet all needs. Many sites on state lands are currently not being actively managed to realize full potential as plant communities or wildlife habitat. Re-establishing prairie on public lands requires periodic burning, inter-seeding grasslands with native species, and up to five years of post-seeding management and assessment. Some state-owned grasslands are ""problem"" sites consisting of monotypic fields of brome of low habitat value. Furthermore exotic and/or invasive plants are encroaching and woody plant encroachment are especially troublesome problems that must be addressed. Portions of newly acquired areas and state-owned marginal croplands also need to be seeded and treated. Use of high quality seed from established prairie sites to plant at other locations has proven to be highly cost-effective. ","We continue to use the Prairie Plan to guide our work in the western part of the state.  While we don't limit ourselves to the core areas from the Plan, core areas and native sites usually rise to the top when we are developing short-term priority lists such as which units to try to burn each spring.  Although Minnesota DNR has the training and know-how to restore and enhance high quality prairie vegetation, past funding was insufficient to meet all needs.  Often time, we'd just 'plant some grass'.  These funds have given us the ability to use much higher diversity seed mixes in our restoration work.  We aren't there yet, but we are getting much closer to restoring the full plant diversity to sites compared to what we were doing a few years ago.  That said, there is still much to learn in the area of seed harvest, seeding method, and post-seeding management.  In some cases we are buying local seed from vendors.  In other cases, we are contracting with neighbors to mechanically harvest seed from established prairies.  This is probably the most cost-effective way of collecting the volume of seed need to do larger restorations.  We are also getting better at using different seed mixes within a site.  A wetland margin should not have the same seed mix as a sandy hilltop.  Probably the most innovative and effective part of this request was the addition of a roving crew.  These crews were 100% additive to the work that was being done in the past.  They had the equipment, skills, and expertise, and were able to move around the entire region to do work that simply wasn't being done in the past.  They were able to do projects by themselves, team up with local DNR staff, and occasionally work with staff from USFWS or TNC to do larger projects such a large Rx fires that cover multiple ownerships.  The other major part we can report in this first full length (5 year) project is our work with contractors.  While DNR staff worked with some contractors in the past, with these funds we were able to scale up these projects.  Through trial and error in some cases we have also figured out who the best contractors are for different types of projects.  Habitat work was new to many contractors.  It sometimes takes significant amounts of time to supervise contractors to make sure they are doing what we need done in the way we need it done.  The more we work with these contractors, we learn their specialties and they become dialed in to what needs to be done and how to do it.  They are also making improvements as they learn.  This is making enhancement work more effective and efficient for both DNR staff and the contractors.  Many of the contractors are pleased to have this extra work, especially when it comes at a time of the year which is normally their 'down' time.  Contractors are telling us they are keeping busy, hiring more staff, and getting more work done as a direct result of OHF funds. ",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Mike,Tenney,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road ","St Paul",None,55155,"(651) 259-5230",michael.tenney@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Dakota, Dodge, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue, Grant, Hennepin, Houston, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, Marshall, McLeod, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nobles, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Rock, Roseau, Sherburne, Stearns, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Wabasha, Wadena, Washington, Wilkin, Wilkin","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-prairie-grassland-restoration-and-enhancement-program-dnr-lands,,,,

While Minnesota's 16.2 million ac of forest are diverse, the acreage and composition of forests have changed significantly. The forest acreage is about half of what it was (31.5 million ac) in the mid 1800s. Just over half of the forestland in Minnesota is publicly owned; the State of Minnesota administers about 24%. Minnesota's forests help maintain the state's environmental and economic health. They are habitat for fish and wildlife, and a source of biodiversity, clean water, watershed protection, carbon sequestration, recreational opportunities, and many other benefits. Habitat loss and degradation are identified as the primary challenge facing wildlife. Almost one-third of the state's 292 Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) inhabit forests. The management objectives in this program parallel the forest management options outlined in Minnesota's State Wildlife Action Plan, Tomorrow's Habitat for the Wild and Rare (Tomorrow's Habitat Plan). Implementation of these objectives in key habitats identified in the Plan will maintain and enhance native forest communities supporting game and non-game wildlife populations. Tomorrow's Habitat Plan also calls for the purchase and protection of key habitats as another tool to address the conservation needs of these species. Protecting forests threatened by fragmentation or development provide important opportunities for collaborative conservation of larger scale areas of habitat. Restoration of newly acquired state forestlands is essential to assure that sites in state ownership are improved to increase or retain their value as wildlife habitat. The availability of public hunting lands does not meet the expectations of a growing Minnesota population. Due to the current recession, land prices have stabilized or declined and a short-term opportunity exists to purchase more value for our expenditures.

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

Each parcel is open for public recreation, including hunting, as defined by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act. Further, we are happy to report that over $3.2 million in match was leveraged through this effort. This match came from a variety of federal sources as well as donations of land value. This exceeds our original match goal by over 10%.Each acquired parcel has also been restored and/or enhanced to as a high quality as practicable to ensure the maximum amount of benefits to migratory birds and other wildlife species. Wetlands restorations of various types, including seasonal wetlands, were restored by breaking drain tile lines, filling drainage ditches, constructing earthen dams, and installing water control structures. Invasive tree removal work was completed on many of these newly acquired lands and all agricultural fields restored to grasslands were restored using a broadcast or drill seeded method with a diverse mix of native grasses and forb species.These restored and permanently protected acres will provide critical habitat for breeding/migrating waterfowl and reproductive and winter habitat for grassland game and non game species.The work completed in this project has accelerated investment into permanently protected wildlife habitat complexes through the highly successful USFWS Waterfowl Production Area program. The outcome of this project protects, maintains, and increases waterfowl and other wildlife populations within these areas. Furthermore, this work helps to improve water quality, reduces soil erosion, and provides public areas for Minnesotans to recreate in the outdoors, something so fundamental to ensure Minnesota’s future outdoor heritage.",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Joe,Pavelko,"Pheasants Forever","7975 Acorn Circle ",Victoria,None,55386,6125323800,esandquist@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Clay, Faribault, Freeborn, Grant, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, Meeker, Murray, Norman, Norman","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerate-waterfowl-production-area-program-minnesota-phase-2,,,,

We propose to: i) protect 7.8 miles of shoreline on lakes, rivers and trout streams; ii) effect structural repairs to 2 lake outlet control structures that will integrate fish passage; iii) restore and enhance river and stream functions that will benefit over 50.5 river miles; and iv) enhance 1.4 miles of shoreline habitat on publicly-owned lakeshore. The strategic approach and priority resources targeted in this proposal are supported by a number of internal and external conservation planning documents. The DNR will implement the objectives of this proposal through established and highly successful programs each having strong stakeholder support including: Aquatic Management Area Program, Shoreland Habitat Restoration Program, Stream Habitat Program, and Coldwater Streams Program.","What is the problem to be addressed? Minnesota's aquatic habitats have been degraded or threatened by a century or more of land, hydrology, and human settlement related alterations. The consequences to aquatic species have been reduced habitats for essential life history stages, lack of access to traditional spawning areas, and fragmentation of formerly continuous habitat that served as corridors to facilitate seasonal movements. Geographically, aquatic habitats are in various states of quality and experiencing differing levels of environmental stress with a general pattern of healthy habitats under low stress in the northeast and less healthy habitats under high stress in the southern and western portions of the state (see Figure H-15 in the State Conservation and Preservation Plan). But even within this generalized pattern there are many notable exceptions ? aquatic habitats exhibiting declining quality under high environmental stress in the northeast, and moderate to high quality habitats within high environmental stress landscapes to the west and south. This provides a meaningful framework for providing habitat protection, restoration, and enhancement through DNR's diverse habitat programs infrastructure. How will this directly relate to restoring, protecting, or enhancing habitat? Why will this strategy work? Acquisition of priority habitats provides permanent protection backed by state and federal laws. The AMA designation unit within the Outdoor Recreation System was established by the Legislature in 1992 and has strong support from conservation groups and anglers. The AMA Program currently has an inventory of 830 miles of shoreline in over 330 AMAs, which provide permanent protection of critical riparian habitats, perpetuate fish and wildlife populations, safeguard water quality, and offer public recreational opportunities as an important additional benefit. Providing fish passage over in-stream barriers such as low-head dams and culverts by backfilling with rock reconnects fish and other aquatic species to upstream habitats essential for spawning, juvenile life stages, and overall abundance and genetic diversity of aquatic species. Stream restoration projects reconstruct the stream's natural pattern, profile, and dimension. Natural stream design favors hydrologic conditions that do not degrade the stream bank and bed and provides a diversity of microhabitats that are more favorable to fish and other aquatic species. Channel restoration, dam modification, and shoreline enhancement work is based on proven methods and DNR experience with multiple projects. The DNR has worked on large-scale river and stream restoration projects since 1998 and has completed or assisted in design elements of over 100 stream projects addressing restoration, fish passage, dam removal and dam modification to rapids. These are significant and durable accomplishments benefiting aquatic habitat. As examples of these successful strategies, DNR has conducted large-scale projects to restore the Whitewater River to its original channel; reconnected nearly the entire Minnesota portions of the Red River by direct dam removal or modification leaving only a few dams presently remaining that impede fish movements (primarily lake sturgeon); and enhanced 21 miles of shoreline on lakes across the state including many challenging high erosion sites. Also projects address other key components of a stream: wildlife and fish habitat, water quality, connectivity to the floodplain and upstream reaches, and hydrology. By drawing on the accumulated scientific knowledge on all components of the stream DNR strives to deliver the best possible restoration projects using the best science available. The DNR has conducted shoreline enhancement projects for over 10 years and during that time the program has grown in scope and popularity. The annual number of shoreland restoration projects completed has increased from 23 in 2002 to 60 in 2009. At the end of the L-SOHC grant period, 1.6 miles of public shoreline including AMAs and other state, county, township, and municipal lands will be enhanced to provide erosion protection, habitat diversity for multiple species of fish and wildlife (including game species and SGCNs), and enhanced aesthetics. Native plants and natural materials will be utilized to increase habitat complexity, provide protective cover, stabilize shorelines, and firmly anchor soils. Project habitat benefits will continue to accrue beyond the term of this grant as project sites mature and the shoreline assumes a more natural character. Describe the nature and extent of any partnerships in this project, stakeholder and public participation processes associated with the project and any anticipated support or opposition to the project. The AMA Acquisition Planning Committee developed an acquisition plan in 2007 that recommended purchasing an additional 2,595 miles of riparian lands over 25 years to meet the habitat protection needs of a rapidly changing Minnesota. This stakeholder-developed plan guides DNR's AMA program implementation. Restoration and enhancement elements of this project are linked to various landscape or system-specific management plans (e.g., Lake Superior Management Plan) that have been developed through extensive internal and external coordination. These elements represent shared priorities with multiple partners and stakeholders. For land acquisitions, indicate local government support and approval Township and County support are usually obtained as part of the acquisition process. County Boards are typically notified after AMA parcels have been optioned and consistent with DNR policy.","We completed six fish passage projects, benefiting 1,311 acres of habitat that will now be accessible to migrating fish and mussels. These projects were modifications to dams that will allow fish to bypass these former barriers. One fish passage project on Chester Creek planned for this appropriation was not completed due to delays in contracting for construction by our project partner, the city of Duluth. They have been very busy contracting stream projects due to the flood of 2012, and this unexpected development kept us from completing the project on time. A design for the project was paid for with this appropriation. The project will be built in 2016 using flood damage money from the State of Minnesota.An instream habitat project was completed on West Beaver Creek. The project narrowed the stream channel to improve instream habitat and better transport fine sediment. Instream habitat was also enhanced, and bank stability improved to reduce erosion.Riparian habitat was enhanced at fourteen coldwater streams and two warmwater streams. These projects will enhance native prairie plants that will improve bank stability and instream cover. Prairie species also encourage narrow and deep stream channels that better move fine sediment, improving habitat for fish and invertebrates. Habitat practices included brush removal, prescribed burns, control of invasive plants, and planting of native species.Lake riparian habitat was enhanced at nine locations. These projects were done cooperatively through grants to local organizations. Mowed turf grass was replaced with native plants with deep roots that are better at stabilizing the shoreline and provide habitat for species such as frogs and other aquatic animals. These parcels are also open to public fishing.We permanently protected lakeshore habitat at eight locations, covering 276 acres. These parcels will protect intact lake shoreline that has been shown to be critical to fish reproduction, and to preventing shoreland erosion. We also protected one parcel on a trout stream through a conservation easement. This will protect coldwater conditions and habitat in the stream through the preservation of riparian vegetation. This parcel will also be open to public fishing.We fell short of our planned output acreage for this appropriation due to a number of factors. First, our protection acreage can vary depending on the relative amount of upland land that is purchased with adjoining waterfront. Sometimes parcels are a narrow strip of lakeshore, while at other times a parcel may be quite deep and have considerable upland that is purchased. For this appropriation, our acquisitions leaned toward primarily waterfront land resulting in a shortfall of 98 acres. Second, when this accomplishment plan was written we planned to be able to account for benefitted upstream acres for fish passage projects. During a plan amendment for a different appropriation we were given direction by the council that we should only count footprint acres for these types of projects. We did not go back and do plan amendments for other appropriations to reflect this guidance, but did follow that direction in our reporting. As a result we reported 1260 acres less than was planned. Third, our trout stream riparian enhancement work over-estimated the amount that we could complete, resulting in a shortfall of 424 acres. The work for this part of the appropriation was completed during the last 6 months that the money was available, preventing a plan amendment to reflect the change in acreage output. We will know better in the future how to estimate acres for this type of work. The fourth reason for our shortfall was an amendment from a fish passage project on the Mississippi River at Little Falls to a channel restoration project on the Buffalo River. As previously mentioned, when the plan was written we expected to report the full benefitted acreage for the fish passage project. When we amended to plan to spend that money on the Buffalo River, there was no corresponding change to our planned output acres as reflected in table 1. This was not changed mainly because the original version of ML2010 accomplishment plan does not include a “Table 1” as shown in the online version. Instead there are a series of less organized tables that allow for a more narrative description of the work. The resulting shortfall in acres from this change was 564 acres.In total, these differences from the accomplishment plan account for 2346 acres, which would explain the difference between the original plan and what we have reported for output. We have learned several lessons regarding output acres since this early appropriation. We will work hard to have our outputs better match the accomplishment plan in future reporting.",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Michael,Duval,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road ","Saint Paul",,55155,"(218) 833-8612",michael.duval@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Blue Earth, Carver, Cass, Chisago, Clay, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Hennepin, Houston, Hubbard, Itasca, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lake, Le Sueur, Martin, Meeker, Morrison, Murray, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Ramsey, Redwood, Rice, St. Louis, Stearns, Todd, Wabasha, Wadena, Wadena","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-aquatic-management-area-acquisition,,,,

This area is a notable pheasant and deer hunting area of the county.  This tract, like many of the other tracts purchased in this proposal, are within identified priority areas by MN DNR, USFWS, and other partners.  Some of the factors we use to prioritize acquisitions are Grassland Bird Conservation Areas, Fish and Wildlife habitat rankings (e.g. HAPET scores, duck nesting pair density), and stateside plans (e.g. Pheasant Action Plan, Wildlife Action Plan).  In addition we use site specific factors such as rare species, native prairie, and restoration potential to decide which tracts will best benefit fish, game, and wildlife.",,"Final Report: http://www.lsohc.leg.mn/FY2013/accomp_plan/2f.pdf Working in close collaboration with partners, Pheasants Forever acquired 638 acres of strategic habitat that builds onto existing protected lands and/or develops corridors for wildlife. All lands acquired have been enrolled into the state Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Program and will be protected and managed in perpetuity by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. We have worked together with federal, state and local partners when acquiring the seven parcels which will now be celebrated as new WMAs. These new additions to existing WMAs not only provides access and recreational opportunities for all Minnesotans, but helps reduce erosion, improve water filtration, and provide quality habitat for many of Minnesota's non-game species. The offers to the landowner were based on fair market values and appraisals. The acquired parcels addressed a backlog of willing sellers that now are helping slow the loss, degradation, and fragmentation of habitat in Minnesota. Parcels were identified jointly with the MN DNR, ranked, and prioritized on habitat goals and feasibility. Pheasants Forever's methods are formed around the principle of accelerating the Wildlife Production Area program in MN by targeting only the best available habitat with willing sellers. We utilize local partner expertise to focus on building a system of interconnected wildlife complexes that create habitat mosaics. We also utilize the latest geospatial layers to help determine factors such as: habitat restoration potential, landscape scale significance, presence of rare features and native habitat, and how these acquisitions fit into other priorities for our partners such as the MN prairie Conservation Plan, the Pheasant Action Plan, or the State Wildlife Action Plan to name a few.

Design only projects are surveyed and receive preliminary design plans and support from Minnesota DNR engineers. This initial work is critical to identify project issues, determine realistic cost estimates, and ensure that future construction can proceed with minimal delays. No acres are reported for design-only projects; that occurs only after construction. Eight projects were design-only. Thirteen projects were design and construct. These 13 projects involved the construction or renovation of water control structures, fish barriers and/or dikes. This work enhanced almost 1200 acres, 913 of which were in the Prairie Ecological Section.Roving Habitat Crews - Minnesota DNR Roving Habitat Crews are highly trained, equipped and motivated staff working together to enhance Wildlife Mangement Areas. Begun in 2010, 2 6-person crews were established to work on prairie grasslands, with one crew based in Mentor, MN and one based at Lac Qui Parle. Beginning with this Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancements, Phase IV, OHF appropriation, funding was provided to the 2 crews to allow to them expand to do wetland enhancement work. Each crew was provided 2 additional staff and they were able to spend 25% of their time and resources on wetland and shallow lake activities. This work included wetland prescribed burns, removal of woody vegetation from wetlands, the ability to work on wetland drawdowns, cattail spraying and mowing, and other wetland activities. The wetland acreage impacted by these crews has exceeded expectations, with 8,900 wetland acres enhanced. Three thousand-four hundred of these acres were enhanced in the Prairie Ecological Section. The most wetland acres were enhanced in Forest/Prairie Ecological Section, which is a function of the large habitat blocks that are available to manage in northwest Minnesota.Shallow Lakes Program - The Minnesota DNR Shallow Lakes Program consists of a supervisor and 8 shallow lakes specialists. Three of these shallow lake specialist positions were created and funded with the Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancements, Phase IV, OHF appropriation. Interns are used to augment shallow lake assessment work done during the summer field season. The Shallow Lakes Program can be described as having two major goals - assessment of shallow lakes through a standardized set of measures and initiating management of shallow lakes to enhance their value to wildlife. Management actions may include drawdowns, removal of unwanted fish, control of invasive species, and placement of major infrastructure. Acres are not reported for this component of the grant, though the work done by the Shallow Lakes Program is critical to acres subsequently reported by the DNR or Ducks Unlimited when OHF funds are used to implement management. A measure of the work accomplished by OHF-funded shallow lakes specialists is the number of number of shallow lake assessments the undertake during the grant period.

",,"Final Report: http://www.lsohc.leg.mn/FY2012/accomp_plan/5a.pdf Protection of streams through conservation easements was enabled by the hiring of two easement specialists to work on acquisition. One position was funded through OHF, while the other leveraged funds from a Great Lakes Restoration grant. These positions contacted riparian landowners in targeted locations we prioritized for additional easement protection. We chose to target streams with high-quality habitat and fish populations, and along those streams we prioritized parcels that were adjacent to existing easements or protected public land, as well as landowners who owned parcels with longer lengths of stream. We also prioritized parcels with important features such as springs that are important to maintaining the cold water required by trout. All easements also needed to be accessible to the angling public, either from a public road, adjacent easement, or access path. Contacts with landowners were very fruitful; we found more potential parcels that we had money available for easements. This allowed us to prioritize the best parcels for easement purchase based on our criteria, but also created a list of potential parcels for acquisition using other funding sources, including OHF rounds from future years. We protected a total of 21.3 miles of trout streams using easements. One lakeshore parcel was also protected via conservation easement using this appropriation. The landowners (a scout camp) wanted the parcel protected, but also wanted to continue their passive use of the parcel. A conservation easement was a better tool than fee title acquisition in this case, which allowed us to protect 200 acres along 1.3 miles of lakeshore. The total amount of lake and stream shore acres protected by easements was just short of our goal (585 vs. 609), but we believe in the case of lake and stream riparian protection the length of shoreline is the more important measure. Fee title acquisition protected a total of 7.4 miles of lakeshore (504 acres) under this appropriation. We selected parcels for acquisition where the ratio of lakeshore to total acres was high in order to maximize riparian area protected, and where we protected critical and sensitive habitat such as emergent vegetation and natural shorelines that are critical for aquatic fish and wildlife. We were able to exceed our goal for acres protected in fee (504 vs. 427), in part due to over $550,000 in landowner donations of value that leveraged OHF money. We completed four stream habitat projects: two were on trout streams (Eagle and Rush Creeks), and two were on a warmwater rivers (Buffalo and Pomme de Terre Rivers). Eagle Creek had been degraded by years of cattle grazing, along with numerous beaver dams that had created a wide, shallow stream uninhabited by trout, unlike downstream reaches with better habitat. Using a combination of coir logs, rootwads and other woody debris, and grading and revegetating of the streambanks, the stream was narrowed to less than half of its former width. This created a much deeper stream channel with better habitat for fish, as well as the ability for the stream to better move the over-abundance of sand that comprised the stream bottom. Trout are now found in the restored half-mile of stream. The local watershed district contributed matching funds that helped to complete the project. Rush Creek habitat work has enhanced 2.5 miles of this trout stream. Steep eroding banks have been graded back, creating a floodplain that reduces the erosive energy of the stream during high water. Habitat structures of wood and rock have been placed in strategic locations on outside bends, providing stability to streambanks as well as cover for fish. All riparian areas have been seeded with a native mix of deep-rooted prairie grasses and forbs, providing enhanced stability for streambanks and habitat for terrestrial wildlife. Restoration of a reach of the Buffalo River was done on property owned by the City of Hawley. A formerly straightened reach of the river, the stream had eroding banks and lacked diverse depths, velocities, and cover required by most fish species. 2,700 feet of new meandering stream channel was constructed to restore the stream to a more natural condition, and outside bends were stabilized with woody material buried into the banks which not only provides stability while planted native vegetation becomes established, but also provides habitat for fish and aquatic insects. Enhancement work on the Pomme de Terre River was done on a relatively small area, but was critical to habitat in that reach. Due to bank erosion, the stream was in the process of cutting around a riffle that controls the grade of the streambed in that reach. That could have eventually lead to a downcutting of the stream channel that would have sent tons of sediment downstream. Instead, the streambank was stabilized using rootwads, and additional gravel and cobbles were added to the riffle to enhance its stability, as well as local habitat.",2011-07-20,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brian,Nerbonne,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5205,brian.nerbonne@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Blue Earth, Cass, Chisago, Clay, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Houston, Hubbard, Itasca, Kandiyohi, Lake, Morrison, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Redwood, Rice, Scott, St. Louis, Swift, Wabasha, Winona","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-aquatic-management-area-habitat-program-phase-3,,,,

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

Breaking down acres by ecological section we acquired 282 acres in the metro and 1520 acres in the prairie.  We have a balance of $52,798 of grant funds and $81,837.48 in program income that will be returned despite exceeding our acre goals. ",,"The pressures from development, industry, and agriculture continue to mount on wildlife habitat within the farmland regions of Minnesota.  In fact, despite our collective investments in conservation, it is believed that many of the agricultural counties in Minnesota are continuing to experience a net loss of wildlife habitat.  This unfortunate reality is currently being exacerbated by conversion of lands expiring out of CRP.  Now, more than ever, is the time to accelerate our investments in permanently protected high quality public habitat complexes that will protect, maintain, and increase Minnesota’s wildlife populations.  In addition, being able to provide public areas for Minnesotans to hunt, trap, fish and otherwise recreate in the outdoors are urgent needs and is fundamental to ensure Minnesota’s outdoor heritage and appreciation of the outdoors is passed on to future generations. To help slow and reverse the loss of habitat and declining wildlife populations, Pheasants Forever (PF) and our partners will protect (fee acquisition from willing sellers) 1,362 acres of high priority grassland (native prairie if available), wetland, and wildlife habitat as state Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) throughout the pheasant range of Minnesota.  Striving to build landscape level habitat complexes that will protect and sustain wildlife populations, many of the potential projects are additions to existing WMAs or WPAs, many of which were originally acquired in partnership with MNDNR, local PF chapters, and conservation partners. Projects were developed and selected in conjunction with local and regional DNR staff.  All projects will meet standards and requirements for inclusion into the WMA system and DNR Commissioner approval will be received for any project funded under this proposal.  In addition to meeting the minimum WMA standards, additional criteria were used to develop the potential project list including: Does the parcel contain habitat restoration potential that will result in an increase in wildlife populations? Does the parcel build upon existing investments in public and private land habitat (landscape scale significance)? Does the parcel contain significant natural communities or will it protect or buffer significant natural communities? Does the parcel have the potential and focus for habitat protection and restoration in the future? Does the parcel provide multiple benefits (recreation, access, water control, water quality, lakeshore, local community support etc.)? All acquired lands will meet the minimum initial development standards for WMAs.  In addition, providing high quality habitat and keeping future management concerns in mind, all acquisitions will be restored and/or enhanced to as high quality as practicable, with the belief that quality and comprehensive restorations utilizing native species result in lower management costs.  Acquired croplands will be permanently retired and restored to diverse grasslands and wetlands to the fullest extent.  Enhancement work may include undesirable woody vegetation removal, water control structure installation, inter-seeding to increase diversity and structure, managed grazing, invasive species control, or any other activity that improves the diversity and health of the prairie-wetland habitat complex.  Pheasants Forever’s network of 76 Minnesota chapters and 26,000 members have been actively involved in protecting and restoring lands in partnership with the Minnesota DNR for 27 years and will continue to be a priority.  WMA’s are an integral component to the comprehensive conservation strategy within the prairie region of the state.  The WMAs within this proposal will not only protect, increase, and sustain wildlife habitat and populations; they will provide access and recreational opportunities, including hunting, to ALL Minnesotans, so fundamentally important to our outdoor heritage.

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

These projects will address work called for in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan, Long Range Duck Recovery Plan, and Shallow Lakes plan. ",,"Engineering and construction of major shallow lake and wetland infrastructure includes work on water control structures, dikes, and fish barriers to improve wetland habitat management. Five major infrastructure projects were constructed with funding from this appropriation. The five (Carex Slough/Freeborn County, Mahlke Marsh/Lyon County, Hovland/Mahnomen County, Roseau River WMA Pool 2/Roseau County, and Staples/Todd County) all began with property manager submission of the projects into an annual Section of Wildlife project solicitation process. All projects undergo Regional and Central Office review, with wetland and shallow lake projects receiving additional review by Wetland Habitat Team members. Suitable projects are selected for inclusion in OHF proposals. Given the complexity of major wetland infrastructure projects, OHF project lists in Accomplishment Plans undergo continual adjustments based on engineering assessments, budget projections, and to seek efficient use of appropriation funds. Reflective of the expense often incurred in major wetland infrastructure projects, expenditures for these five projects accounted for 43% of the total expenditures for this appropriation. Four major shallow lake/wetland management actions were implemented to enhance habitat - Simon Lake Drawdown and Fish Treatment/Pope County, Raguet WMA Wetland Tree Removal/Carver County, a major wetland prescribed burn at Roseau River WMA/Roseau County, and a channel cleanout at Moose-Willow Flowage/Aitkin County. Both projects were initiated, reviewed and selected for inclusion in an OHF appropriation by the aforementioned process and both projects presented unique challenges that are typical of complex wetland projects. Water levels at Simon Lake were reduced by gravity drawdown as much as possible, then was supplemented by pumps. When reduced as much as practical, a private company was hired to apply rotenone to remove unwanted fish. Unfortunately, the private company quit only hours after beginning the rotenone application. In an amazing move, the DNR Shallow Lakes Program immediately began work to undertake the rotenone application in-house. One year after the private company quit the treatment, a highly coordinated operation involving DNR Shallow Lakes and Roving Habitat Crew staff successfully implemented the treatment. Follow up assessments reported a successful fish treatment and a subsequent improvement in habitat quality at Simon Lake. Tree removal at Raguet WMA in Carver proved challenging as well. Existence of a high quality fen in the project area prohibited the use of large equipment. Instead, cut trees were removed by pulling them offsite with cables and winches to protect the fen. The prescribed burn of a wetland occurred in August 2019 at Roseau River WMA and involved 7,350 acres. The project ""burn boss"" said the burn was done to set back brush encroachment and cattails in a sedge meadow. One month after the burn, significant rainfall at the site raised water levels and flooded the burned cattails. Thick beds of wild rice were reported in areas in which cattails had previously been dominant. Finally, a channel cleanout was conducted in the downsteam channel of the Moose- Willow Flowage in Aitkin County. Channels often become shallower as sediment is deposited. The shallow channels can be more conducive to growth of cattails. The double-whammy of shallower channels and cattails can result in higher water levels in upstream basins. The Moose-Willow Flowage had declined as habitat due to the described sedimentation and cattail growth. A specialized piece of equipment known as a Cookiecutter was utilized to cleanout the channel is what will be a two phase plan to improve Moose-Willow. Phase I was the channel cleanout. Phase II will see installation of a new water control structure. An exciting activity undertaken with this appropriation is the outfitting of a DNR helicopter with equipment to all annual spraying of invasive cattails. Credit for initiating this goes to DNR Pilot Brad Maas, who saw the potential to add spray equipment to an existing under-utilized helicopter. OHF funding was used for a capital equipment purchase of both a aerial spray unit and new avionics for the helicopter. This new equipment allows for annual spraying of approximately 2500 acres of invasive hybrid cattails. A standardized process has developed for the annual work. Early in the calendar year, the supervisor of all DNR Roving Habitat Crews puts out a call for potential cattail spray sites. The combined list of projects is mapped and projects to be treated are selected based on property manager ranking of needs and proximity of projects to each other and their statewide location. Helicopter landing sites are chosen and property managers are responsible for mowing the landing sites and proving proper public notice. Specially trained staff from Roving Habitat Crews are utilized as ground support for the helicopter. Thirty-five individual parcels were treated in the first year of utilizing the DNR helicopter. Prior to obtaining the ability to use the DNR helicopter to spray cattails, three parcels were sprayed by contracted companies, also with this appropriation. Direct comparison of these two spray methods (private company vs. DNR helicopter) shows that the DNR helicopter allows us to get this work done at less cost and with more control over the timing of the treatment and size of the treated areas. Funding from this appropriation was utilized for wetland enhancement work by two Roving Habitat Crews, the Region 3 crew based out of Vermillion and the Region 4 crew based out of Lac qui Parle. Wetland habitat enhancement conducted by Roving Habitat Crews can include tree removal from wetlands, small scale spraying of cattails and other invasive vegetation, seeding wild rice, conducting drawdowns, sediment removal from small wetland basins, and actual construction of small wetland infrastructure projects. Roving Habitat Crew Leaders are constantly receiving submissions from DNR property managers for potential habitat projects and develop priorities based on Department priorities and the need to address requirement imposed by funding rules. Thirty- two individual wetland enhancement projects were reported by the two Roving Habitat Crews. Of the 28,101 wetland acres impacted by this appropriation, the reported wetland enhancement work done by Roving Habitat Crews accounted for 11,056 acres at a cost of just over $35/acre.

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

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

",,"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.

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

Legacy funds help us implement this program bridge barriers that keep people from connecting with all the Zoo has to offer. Access Services The Zoo is committed to ensuring that economic circumstances are not obstacles to experiencing the Minnesota Zoo. With Legacy support the Zoo recently created the position of Community Relations Coordinator, a position responsible for the statutorily-mandated free ticket program for economically disadvantaged Minnesotans, all aspects of ADA compliance, and other programs related to accessibility of the Zoo. Lifelong Learning The Minnesota Zoo is not just for children! Legacy funding supports a number of programs aimed at supporting and expanding Zoo programs for adults. This includes a recently introduced adults only program, “Adult Night Out.” These age 18+ evening events offer an after-hours experience for working and older adults who might not otherwise visit the Zoo. This program also incorporates the Our World Speaker Series designed to engage guests in conservation issues. These lectures are offered free of charge to all attendees, ensuring access for all interested guests. The Zoo is also offering a number of adult education programs that focus on special interest areas such as Zoo horticulture and wildlife photography. These programs serve a range of adult audiences including seniors, corporate groups, and young adults. Strategic Communications In an effort to help Zoo guests care more and do more for conservation, this project was designed to test and implement zoo-based conservation messaging that would encourage people to act for wildlife. The Zoo began implementing its new brand strategy “Where Amazing Lives. Every Day.” This campaign creates a consistent story throughout the Zoo. Expanded Zoomobile Geography can be a barrier to accessing high quality environmental education programs. The Zoomobile program exists to serve people who cannot visit the Minnesota Zoo by bringing the Zoo to them, regardless of where they live in Minnesota. Trained interpretive naturalists travel with animals to all corners of the state and deliver programs at schools, libraries, community centers, children’s hospitals, senior centers, and more. Zoomobile participants experience live animals up close and learn about the ecological principles that connect all living things to one another. Legacy funding makes it possible to expand the service and reach of Zoomobile by sending more staff and more animals throughout the state.

",,,,,,,,,,"Shell Rock River Watershed District","Local/Regional Government","The Albert Lea Lake Management project replaced the previous Albert Lea Lake fix-crest dam with a 3-in-1 structure that included a rock riffle dam, a lake level management structure, and an electric fish barrier. The benefits from this project include improved aquatic and waterfowl habitat, invasive species management, and improved desirable fish populations.","The Shell Rock River Watershed District (SRRWD) encompasses 246-square miles in Freeborn County. The District includes 11 lakes that drain to the Shell Rock River, which flows into the Cedar River. Among the District’s lakes are Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake, located within the City of Albert Lea. These lakes are central to Albert Lea’s tourism industry and its identity.The previous Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, was in need of repair. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Project replaced the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels. A lake level management structure was also constructed, as well as an electric fish barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake.The project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity for years to come. Specific benefits are outlined below.1. Rock-Arch Water-Level Control: The SRRWD replaced the old fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches to provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake. The upper-most rock arch is controlling the normal water level with the help of metal sheeting. There are two more rock arches behind the first, totaling 3 rock arches. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: The installation of the structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas. The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system.3.  Electric fish barrier:  An electric fish barrier was installed and is used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat.Design and engineering of the project started in late 2013. Contracts and associated agreements for the dam were made in early 2014. The order of operations for the construction of the project includes:•    Installation of the cofferdam•    Construction of the water diversion channel•    Removal of the old dam and bridge•    Installation of the metal sheeting that holds the lake level•    Placement of the first rock arch along the sheeting•    Installation of the footings for the concrete work•    Concrete work for the fish barrier•    Concrete work for the draw down structure•    Finalize/seal all concrete•    Placement of remaining rock arches•    Removal of the cofferdam and water diversion channel•    Installation and fine tuning of the fish barrier componentThe main construction of the projects where completed in the spring of 2015. At the end of 2015, some calibrations of the electric components were needed on the electric fish barrier. After the ice melt in the spring of 2016, those changes were made to fine tune the barrier. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Structure is now fully complete. The outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier worked in harmonization as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource.   The existing Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, are in need of repair.The proposed project would replace the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels and allow fish passage (see concept drawing). A lake level management structure would also be constructed, as well as an electric barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake. This project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity. It has been identified as a high priority in the SRRWD Management Plan, developed with public participation, and subject to public review and approval by the SRRWD Board. Specific benefits are outlined below. 1.  Rock-Arch Water-Level Control and Fish Passage: Replacing the existing fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches will provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake, with the upper-most rock arch controlling the normal water level. The arches will also provide fish passage, allowing northern pike to move upstream from the Shell Rock River to spawn in the lake. Northern Pike typically spawn in March and April, while carp spawning/movement typically does not start until May. A fish passage—in combination with an electric fish barrier activated in May to preclude carp—will increase the population of Northern Pike, natural predators of carp. Albert Lea Lake populations of Northern Pike and Bluegill (also a carp egg predator) are currently below Minnesota DNR norms for similar lakes. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: Installation of a structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas. The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system. 3.  Electric fish barrier: An electric fish barrier will be used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat. Asian Carp multiply rapidly and are voracious eaters, depleting food resources. The leaping ability of the Silver Carp also poses a danger to boaters and skiers. According to a 2010 news story in the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Asian carp have migrated past the 5-in-1 Dam in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, moving up the Cedar River to Black Hawk County—where the Cedar and the Shell Rock River join. The distance from this point to Albert Lea Lake is only about 100 miles. While there is not general agreement about the threat posed by Asian carp in lake waters, if this does become a concern the barrier could be used year-round and an alternative fish management plan developed. The SRRWD has a proven track record of success with fish barriers. The fish barriers upstream of Albert Lea Lake—at Wedge Creek and White Lake (partially funded by 2009 Outdoor Heritage Funds) and Mud Lake—have improved habitat and water clarity in the upstream areas. Improved habitat is demonstrated by increased sightings of aquatic fur bearers and waterfowl, with 15 waterfowl species sighted during the fall migration. Improvements in water clarity are demonstrated by secchi disk readings on Fountain Lake (connected to these water bodies), which were the best on record in 2010. The proposed outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier will work as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource. The strategy of carp/rough fish control and exclusion is known to be effective. This program is endorsed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fishery and Wildlife Divisions and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and conducted with their technical assistance and cooperation. This project is consistent with recommendations of the 2004 Shell Rock River Watershed Management Plan (Appendix B & J). It is also noted in the Albert Lea Lake Management Plan, as part of the Freeborn County Comprehensive Water Plan 2006-2015. Other applicable plans include the Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan Phase II provisions that address the control of invasive species, restoration of shallow lakes, water quality improvements in impaired waters, and  protection and enhancement of fish and waterfowl breeding habitat (pg. 30-96); and the 2009 Minnesota State Management Plan for Invasive Species. Activities are also within the goals of the Basin Alliance for the Lower Mississippi in Minnesota (BALMM). This project is a component of the 2011 Restoring Native Habitat/Water Quality to the Shell Rock River Project funded by the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Fund for the fee-title acquisition of the headwaters of the Shell Rock River. The land has been acquired and will be turned over to the DNR to be operated under an Aquatic Management Area Management Plan. There are no known opponents or anticipated barriers to project completion. These efforts will be highly visible and seen as a benefit to the entire region. They are endorsed by the local Chamber of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureau, Freeborn County, City of Albert Lea, DNR and Fountain Lake Sportsmen’s Club.  ",,2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Andy,Henschel,"Shell Rock River Watershed District","411 S Broadway ","Albert Lea",MN,56007,"(507) 377-5785",andy.henschel@co.freeborn.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Freeborn,"Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/albert-lea-lake-management-and-invasive-species-control-structure,,,,

The District includes 11 lakes that drain to the Shell Rock River, which flows into the Cedar River. Among the District’s lakes are Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake, located within the City of Albert Lea. These lakes are central to Albert Lea’s tourism industry and its identity.The previous Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, was in need of repair. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Project replaced the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels. A lake level management structure was also constructed, as well as an electric fish barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake.The project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity for years to come. Specific benefits are outlined below.1. Rock-Arch Water-Level Control: The SRRWD replaced the old fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches to provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake. The upper-most rock arch is controlling the normal water level with the help of metal sheeting. There are two more rock arches behind the first, totaling 3 rock arches. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: The installation of the structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas.

The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat.Design and engineering of the project started in late 2013. Contracts and associated agreements for the dam were made in early 2014. The order of operations for the construction of the project includes:•    Installation of the cofferdam•    Construction of the water diversion channel•    Removal of the old dam and bridge•    Installation of the metal sheeting that holds the lake level•    Placement of the first rock arch along the sheeting•    Installation of the footings for the concrete work•    Concrete work for the fish barrier•    Concrete work for the draw down structure•    Finalize/seal all concrete•    Placement of remaining rock arches•    Removal of the cofferdam and water diversion channel•    Installation and fine tuning of the fish barrier componentThe main construction of the projects where completed in the spring of 2015. At the end of 2015, some calibrations of the electric components were needed on the electric fish barrier. After the ice melt in the spring of 2016, those changes were made to fine tune the barrier.

We can provide high-quality entertainment and musical education to our community members, many of whom might not be able to see and hear, in person, this quality of music and performance in different genres. Another goal is to play our part in instilling the arts into our community and the public life of our region. The New London Music Festival has become a yearly tradition where people can come to enjoy the day and experience the rich, live-music tradition of our region and our country. We feel that this is very much in tune with a civic goal of the city of New London: to make the arts an everyday part of community life. We have consciously attempted, over the past several years, to involve even more local businesses and organizations with the festival, whether in sponsorships, donations in kind, or as part of the group of vendors who provide food for the festival. We want to make the Festival, as much as possible, a completely local event celebrating the arts in New London. We have continued to have success in the past two years and will continue to pursue our goal of increasing the number of attendees between the ages of 25-50, who have been historically under-represented in our audiences. Each year the Festival Committee reviews survey forms, which are given to each attendee. Attendees are given an incentive to return the forms by the award of a cash door prize given to a randomly selected person who has filled out and returned a survey form. The results of this survey tell us a lot about the demographics of our audience, what they liked and disliked about the music and the artists, and what we can do better for next year. We also closely review attendance based on ticket sales and monitor comments left on our Facebook site, Website, and New London Music Festival e-mail. The comments are very useful as they help give us a sense of what genres of music are interesting and valuable to our audience and what new areas we might explore. A committee meeting is held following the Festival day each year to read, analyze, and discuss the results and plan for the coming year. We measure our success in terms of total attendance (although we need to factor in local weather conditions on Festival day), attendance increases within the 25-50 age group we have targeted to build up and increases in survey approval ratings from year to year, as well as specific comments made by our attendees.","96% of survey respondents rated the musical artists and variety/quality of the music as ?excellent"" or ?good."" When asked about the cost of tickets for this day of music, 72% said that the ticket cost was ?just right"" and 17% rated the ticket cost as ?a bargain"".

Many DID participate behind-the-scenes with makeup, costuming, pulling curtain ropes, working the fly system and set-changing. Five participants contributed to the choreography, as well. We hosted two successful public performances, totaling 750 audience-members. We directors received many many accolades from family members, expressing their gratitude and inquiries about next year's camp. Comments regarding the performance quality lead us to conclude that it was an artistic success. Based on the financial report, the program was a financial success. Many parents have reached out inquiring about next year's dates so they can plan their summer vacations AROUND next year's camp! Last year's intern-director returned to take on one of the three lead director roles and was highly successful.

We can provide high-quality entertainment and musical education to our community members, many of whom might not be able to see and hear, in person, this quality of music and performance in different genres. Another goal is to play our part in instilling the arts into our community and the public life of our region. The NLMF has become a yearly tradition where people can come, enjoy the day, and experience the rich live-music tradition of our region and our country. We feel that this is very much in tune with a civic goal of the city of New London: to make the arts an everyday part of community life. We have had some success in the past two years and will continue to pursue our goal of increasing the number of attendees between the ages of 25-50, who have been historically under-represented in our audiences. Each year the Festival Committee reviews survey forms, which are given to each attendee. The results of this survey tell us a lot about the demographics of our audience, what they liked and disliked about the music and the artists, and what we can do better for next year. We also closely review attendance based on ticket sales and monitor comments left on our Facebook site, Website, and NLMF e-mail. The comments are very useful as they help give us a sense of what genres of music are interesting and valued by our audience and what new areas we might explore. We measure our success in terms of total attendance, attendance increases within the 25-50 age group, and increases in survey approval ratings from year to year, as well as specific comments made by our attendees.","Our attendance goal for the 2018 Festival was 400 attendees. We estimate that we had about 300 attendees which fell short of our goal. Each year we distribute a survey form to all attendees as they enter the grounds. We generally have a 25 - 30% response rate (the number of returned surveys as a ratio of total attendance). We once again had attendees (as reflected in the returned surveys) from 14 Minnesota counties. The percentage of attendees under 60 years of age increased 5% over 2017. One of our goals was to increase attendance among our ""younger"" audience. 30% of surveyed attendees were attending their first or second Festival. Another of our goals is to keep the price of a ticket affordable for our West Central Minnesota audience. We held ticket prices this year ($15.00 - $25.00 depending on when purchased plus a senior discount of $5.00 on the day of the Festival). 77% of those surveyed said that the ticket cost was ""just right"" and an additional 18% said that prices were ""a bargain"". Between 95% to 97% of those surveyed rated the musical groups, the musical variety, the location, and the food choices as either ""good"" or ""excellent"". 100% of those surveyed said that they planned to attend next year's festival.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",9490,"Other,local or private",14490,,"Steve Slominski, Mark Crellin, Rosemary Bentson, Abigail Duly, Bill Gossman, Bethany Lactorin, Kyle Jarius",,"New London Music Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"2018 Music Festival.",2018-02-15,2018-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Steve,Slominski,"New London Music Festival","PO Box 35","New London",MN,56273,"(320) 295-1615 ",newlondonmusicfestival@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Anoka, Chippewa, Douglas, Hennepin, Hubbard, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, Lyon, Olmsted, Ramsey, Scott, Stearns, Stevens, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-183,"Joyce Aakre: visual art, writing; Mark Brodin: music, theatre, film; Maureen Keimig: theatre; Kristine Leuze: visual art; Joyce Meyer: visual art, education; Kathy Schaefer: music, visual art; John Voit: music, theatre.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Pam Blake: retired art educator, visual artist, Tyler Arts Council, Lincoln County Art Fair, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2

We believe that with adequate rehearsal time, access to dialect training, the successful organization for the festival, and the commitment of the cast and crew, we will accomplish the goal we set for our organization. 2) The Calumet Players will be hosting a performance preview of ""The Glamour House"" for the community. It is our goal to challenge our audience's beliefs and receive valuable feedback by holding a Q and A session after the performance. We hope to take this feedback and apply it to make it a more competitive piece at MACTFest. 3) Another goal is to challenge our performers artistically and help them grow as an artist. We hope that the actors are more comfortable performing a drama as a result of this experience. The goal is to have the artists learn, not only from their performance and adjudications, but from other performances and adjudications. 1) The evidence of our accomplishment will be whether the Calumet Players can successfully perform in accordance with the strict parameters of the MACTFest rules and regulations. The goal will be met if participants receive recognition for their performance or dialects. 2) The Calumet Players will distribute surveys to the audience at the performance preview. We will achieve our goal assessing the audience's impressions through these surveys which allows us to consider this feedback in our MACTFest performance. 3) The Calumet Players will distribute surveys to the performers at the conclusion of the festival. These surveys will measure how the artists have grown, including: increased familiarity with performing a drama, competing at a festival, learning new dialects, and reflecting on adjudications.","The audience survey revealed that certain characters needed to strengthen their dialect. Younger actors needed to work on character development portraying the emotions of what it meant to live a life after World War II. The artists were pushed because the script was very difficult to perform due to the nature of the writing and accents. Having to perform the piece, within the confines of the festival rules, made them conscious of their set pieces, script cutting and tempo choices.

The Festival fosters opportunities for the potters to collaborate and share techniques and connect with pottery focused audiences. Each year there are more and more emerging clay artists who come to the Festival as a networking opportunity. This year we plan to have thirty-five participating potters. We continue to look for ways to cross promote with local organizations and businesses. Our evaluation survey asks what attendees liked best, whether they learned something new, if there was anything they would improve, and whether they would come back again, along with demographic information. Survey Administrators: This year we will have two people responsible for going around the Festival to capture feedback. By adding an additional survey administrator in 2019 we reached more audience members for feedback, so we'll continue having two administrators in 2022. The potters in attendance are also surveyed.","Our 2022 festival strengthened our organization by all members pulling together to overcome a two year hiatus. There was a strong sense of commitment by all team members. Our fans appreciated that we were back, and gave us strong marks in our surveys. We use these surveys each year to identify areas that we need to improve on. There are several things that we will take into our 2023 planning/retreat session in January 2023. We have determined that onsite surveys are not as effective as hoped, and will now transition to all online, starting with the festival weekend so we can engage more comments and feedback.

The motivation for this series stems from my own experience in the Intensive Care Unit as a young adult I was struck by a public transit bus, I relied on them to get me stable and recover from this unexpected catastrophe. The work that these unsung heroes do is so important, I wanted to learn more about them and help others to connect with them as well. The second goal is to increase name recognition and gain new commission referrals. As a natural consequence of doing this project, more people will see this work including executive members of the hospital staff, the additional exposure will be measured by an increase in booking commission portraits and painting sales. After the project has been completed and a sufficient amount of time has passed, I will ask the nursing staff to fill out a survey which will help determine if the project goals were met. This survey will be provided to the department floor during the exhibit so they will have the proposed information gathering in mind until the end of the exhibit period when I do the impact assessment and final report. The survey will ask questions such as: *Have these portraits made it easier for visitors to identify who you are? *Do visitors connect with you more easily when they have seen your portrait? *On a scale of 1-5, how would you rate the artistic quality? *Do visitors ask who created the art? *What comments have you heard visitors say about this project *Would you recommend the artist if asked? In addition to a survey, the success of this project will be evaluated based on commissions booked; during consultation, I will be able to ask the customer where they heard of me. I will include contact information and an artist statement with the Portrait series.","I was not able to have a reception due to issues with social distancing and the mandated stay at home order. The hospital has postponed any kind of gatherings for the foreseeable future. The project is however ready for such a time that is more appropriate. However, during the year that I spent working on this project I developed a noticeable improvement in detail and skill level compared to before starting the project. I have also been able to gain new customers just from working on the portraits. I wanted to see if I could generate more work by doing something like this and it has created more leads.

I hope to bring something fresh and unique to the arts community with my work in paper quilling. Paper can be a very diverse medium with countless possibilities as to what can be achieved with it. I want to push those boundaries and explore the various techniques and methods I can use to achieve different outcomes. I hope to further develop my skill set using this particular medium using these different techniques to achieve specific effects and details by experimenting with methods of color variation, layering, textures, shape manipulation, etc. I aim to produce realistic depictions of my subjects to the best of my ability using only paper and that is challenging enough to be a goal in itself. If I can do this I will have achieved that goal. Once I have completed this series and I feel I have done the work to the best of my ability, I will be collecting opinions from my local community to help me evaluate my work and conclude whether I've accomplished my goal. If the majority of my peers agree I have achieved beautifully detailed, realistic renditions of my chosen subject matter, and are pleased with what I have produced with the use of something as common and simple as paper, I will consider the project a success. I will also consider the project a success by simply finishing five new pieces of work consisting of subjects I have never done using paper as my medium. It will be new and challenging. If I can complete these pieces in a beautiful and realistic fashion, convincing to myself and my viewers, I will have improved my skill set and my confidence as a paper quilling artist. I hope to continue to inspire myself to push the boundaries of what is possible and how it can be done, to continue to make exquisite art that takes ordinary subjects and makes them extraordinary.","The completion of this project allowed me to showcase the work outlined in the original proposal to create five paper quilled artworks of Minnesota wildlife and habitat, in several Juried art shows as well as several county fairs throughout northern Minnesota. As a result, I was able to sell several pieces of work, as well as receiving several request for custom work. Not only was I able to sell my work and skill in the art of paper quilling, but I was also hired on to instruct a series of classes in the art of paper quilling. This grant allowed me to create a series of work that showcased my ability and skill set in paper quilling, demonstrating what I can individually and uniquely offer to my audience as an artist. The Minnesota themed series was a success amongst my audience. The overwhelming majority of viewers I was able to ask for reviews at the various shows and fairs my work was showcased at agreed the Minnesota themed art work was a theme they could greatly appreciate.","achieved proposed outcomes",,,1000,,,,"Nikki Shull",Individual,"Artist Access Grant",,"Paper Quilling Series on Minnesota Wildlife and Habitat.",2019-03-01,2019-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Nikki,Shull,"Nikki Shull",,,MN,,"(218) 553-1488",nshull05@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Koochiching, Itasca, Beltrami",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/artist-access-grant-16,"Tara Makinen: executive director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Kayla Aubid: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Kathy Neff: musician, director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner.","Tara Makinen: executive director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, cultural programming coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children’s Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Aubid: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner; Emily Swanson: arts administrator at Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community; Christina Nohre: writer and arts advocate.",,2

We talked about analyzing past successes and building on them. We also broke up potential venues/audiences into categories and strategized ways of connecting with each category. One strategy we discussed was using my knowledge and interest in local history to build relationships with historical societies and then to use those relationships to promote shows. I employed this approach in Moose Lake and Hinckley with success. In Hinckley, I also leveraged my relationship with East Central Regional Libraries for extra support. In Silver Bay, Kelliher and Red Wing, I worked with multiple organizations to set up double-headers where we did an additional performance or workshop on the same day to reach more people. I counted the number of people at each show and I was able to reach larger audiences than I have in the past. 2: I counted the number of people at each show and found I was able to reach larger audiences than I have in the past.

Minnesota artists are able to develop business skills needed to support their professional art work. More Minnesotans are able to engage in or with the work of Minnesota artists.","Though I didn't mark this as an expected project outcome in my grant, it became an outcome for all the artists who played on my album and at the CD release: Each of the 7 players, who are at the top of their fields, told me this was some of the most challenging music they've had to learn and play. Without intending it, I had exposed them to an unfamiliar idiom (Czech, Slovak, and Rusyn folk music) that became a learning experience for each of them on their instruments, with the added challenge of successfully melding that folk music with the American folk styles they are more familiar with. I also learned a great deal about American bluegrass, country, and Americana with the added challenge of arranging Eastern European songs in an American folk idiom. The evaluation is in the musicians' comments to me and in what I hear on the recording—a seamless confluence of styles. 2: For the first time, I self-produced both a solo album and an accompanying CD release party, both of which required tremendous planning, promotion, networking, researching, budgeting, and negotiating. Without working diligently on each of those skills, I could neither have completed the album, nor could the performance have been scheduled in time (the album was released 2 weeks before the grant period ended, with the show shortly thereafter on April 20). The most obvious achievement was in the promotion of both: I had interviews on KFAI's Womenfolk and Fubar Omniverse and on Minnesota Public Radio's Radio Heartland; I had radio play beyond those programs; I included Quick Response codes on my posters to track traffic to my site; at least 2 venues (Cesko-Slovanský Podporující Spolek Hall and Black Dog Café) promoted my work on my behalf; and I used Facebook and social media nearly every day to gain exposure.

Evaluation of the Playwright in Residence Program will include an audience survey created by the Resident Playwright. The Resident Playwright will be responsible for administering the survey at the final workshop/reading. The Resident Playwright will be responsible for collecting and tabulating the results. The Resident Playwright will also provide a final written summary on his/her experience in the program. Twin Rivers and One Bright Star will work together to evaluate the success of the gallery exhibition. Together, we will develop and distribute a survey to participating families about their experience with the project. We will measure how well they felt that the artist captured the essence of their child, was the partnership with the artist meaningful (i.e. did they feel heard and included in the process), did the exhibition provide a space to be comfortable talking about and celebrating their child, and did it provide opportunities for other family members or friends to learn something new about the child and discover ways to talk about the child with the bereaved family. We will gather narrative information from the artists on their experience with the project and discover what we can do differently in the future to provide more clarity on intended outcomes. Lastly, we will gather comments and feedback from gallery patrons on their experience seeing the exhibition and what new information they took away regarding communicating with bereaved families.","Yes, we achieved our planned outcomes.

Measurable Outcomes: -Participants will develop skill in a variety of basketry techniques and the knowledge to pursue the craft on their own. - Participants will gain new perspectives of the world around them through working with their hands and using locally harvested natural material. Full classes and need for waitlists will indicate the general public's desire for this type of learning. To determine whether or not the workshops were a success in terms of the measurable outcomes, post-class surveys will be sent out. I have used surveys past settings, and presented it in a way that allows participants to feel involved in determining what kinds of things will be offered in the future, and to help reinforce their learning. Questions include things like ?How important was the material processing part of this class'? ?How confident would you be in doing a similar project on your own?? ?What could have made this class and your learning better?? Also questions about what kinds of things to offer in the future, what difficult, what worked and what didn't etc, in order to help me format future workshops based on class feedback. I have found that participants respond to these surveys thoroughly and it is extremely helpful in assessing success and critiquing my own teaching.","The project did give the public a chance to learn about the local plant materials, and the kinds of baskets that can be created with them.

Minnesota Center for Book Arts will collect audience statistics, how many students and general public members participate in the workshops and community open houses as a part of Minnesota Center for Book Arts on the Road. 2: Avocational and professional artists and lifelong learners in greater Minnesota learn new skills and concepts through introductory and advanced book arts workshops. Minnesota Center for Book Arts will conduct a pre-and-post workshop evaluation survey identifying knowledge gained and skills acquired. Minnesota Center for Book Arts addresses the access barrier of cost by offering workshops at a greatly reduced fee.","Minnesota Center for Book Arts engaged more Minnesotans in arts learning by partnering with arts organizations in Bemidji, St. Peter and Northfield. Organizations selected from a menu of ten workshops exploring structures and techniques, adaptable to varying levels of experience. Minnesota Center for Book Arts designed a custom residency suited to local interests and facilities, supplemented by Minnesota Center for Book Arts’ mobile studio equipment. Lifelong learners acquired skills and knowledge of the book arts, enriching their artistic expression. Minnesota Center for Book Arts’ free all-ages program held in conjunction with an established local event drew strong attendance: 225 Minnesotans participated in St. Peter, 550 in Northfield and 5,000 in Bemidji. Participants in the intensive weekend workshops that followed numbered 14 in Bemidji, 27 in St. Peter and 50 in Northfield. Outcomes were measured from student evaluations and ongoing interest—as in Northfield, where Minnesota Center for Book Arts opened an exhibition of book art with related programs including a talk by Minnesota Center for Book Arts’ Executive Director. 2: Minnesota Center for Book Arts residencies removed barriers of cost, transportation and access to unique learning experiences for lifelong learners in Greater Minnesota. Minnesota Center for Book Arts and each partner designed a free all-ages community program to generate interest. Low-cost intensive weekend workshops then developed creative expression for beginning and experienced learners. Student evaluations indicate Minnesota Center for Book Arts’ success at removing barriers to participation. One learner noted, I always wanted to sign up for an Minnesota Center for Book Arts class but it was always too expensive and too far away. After each residency Minnesota Center for Book Arts provided additional book art resources to art centers, libraries and other interested organizations so that local interest could be sustained and developed. Minnesota Center for Book Arts sought for each participant to leave inspired from handling book art and from developing their creative process by applying specific techniques to complete present and future projects.

Associated community outreach activities included a weeklong residency with middle and high school students at Shattuck-Saint Mary's School in Faribault, a public lecture-demonstration at the University of Minnesota-Duluth (offered in conjunction with a Diversity Summit being held on campus), a lecture-demonstration at the Faribault Public Library, and a public workshop at the Yoga Studio of Austin.

These included a theater, two state colleges/universities, a high school, a library, and a yoga studio. This grant not only provided a heavy subsidy for Ragamala Dance’s artists' fees, but also allowed us the time to work with our partners in the planning and execution of our activities.

Because of the interest expressed, we added a fifth site to the tour. Attendance at these sites was significant with attendees traveling some distance to take part. By using both the video presentation and the presence of a noted ceramics artist, the public was able to see the depth and breadth of the ceramics tradition in Minnesota as well as experience firsthand the work of the artist. In the returned surveys, 70% of attendees at one opening indicated that they were introduced to new artists. 74% would like to see additional ceramics exhibits at the venues used by the tour. 2. Evaluation was carried out through an evaluation/survey instrument presented at each of the gallery openings/receptions/demonstrations. Evaluations consisted of a series of eleven questions designed to gather information on from participants on their interaction with ceramic art and their perception of the event and exhibit.

The sign in sheets also helped us evaluate how often the studio gets used during the week when the teaching artists and mentors were not there. 2: We provided art learning classes in Gonvick (Clearwater County) with a minimal fee to help eliminate the barrier of accessibility due to distance and finances. Arts learners attended the classes and studios from our tri-county area (Clearwater, Polk and Beltrami).

In each community, we presented a concert and educational outreach element in various venues, to include theaters, performing arts centers, school auditoriums, and open air venues. The educational component varied, depending primarily on public school schedules and availability, or the time of year. In most cases, this was a multimedia History of Bluegrass K-12 program presented to the student body, or to smaller groups such as band, orchestra and choir students. Attendance of each concert, school program or outreach event was recorded. Presenter partners kept data regarding underprivileged and/or underserved groups that participated. We received direct feedback from our presenter partners on the artistic and financial efficacy of the concerts, and hundreds of surveys and questionnaires from students and attending teachers and educators. 2: One of the project goals was to present world-class bluegrass concerts and educational programs to communities that had never been visited by Monroe Crossing, or not in many years. For a Twin Cities-based artist that is approaching 1500 concert appearances in their 13 years, that is not as easy as one would think. New venues and presenter partners included the Moonshine Showcase in Wabasha, Music in Owatonna, Marshall Area Fine Arts Council in Marshall, Jackson County Central Schools in Jackson, and the James W. Mann Center in New York Mills. It had been a number of years since Monroe Crossing last performed in Detroit Lakes, Austin, Willmar, Glenwood, Worthington and Pequot Lakes. And it was Monroe Crossing's first opportunity in every community to present a concert in combination with an educational outreach program. The evaluation process of the intended outcomes is described above in the response to question A.2. and is listed here again.

I could not accomplish my dream of sharing my music across Minnesota without the funding of the legacy grant, to reach people who are much too far from the metro to hear me play. The grant allowed me to deliver the music to the communities and, through my various outreach programs. 2. The evaluation forms - I have 331 evaluation forms from every community that we visited. A statistical breakdown of the responses is overwhelmingly positive. 2: I asked our audiences if they had ever heard me before. The percentage of new listeners created by the Legacy grant is approximately 65% according to those evaluation forms. 3. It was important for me to find presenting partners who had an interest in my music and what my original music, arrangements of traditional Christmas music and my story with focal dystonia had to offer – a high-quality arts experience along with an inspirational and motivational message in regards to overcoming hidden handicaps and/or obstacles. While seeking out presenting partners, I and my booking agent, made sure to connect with partners who had access to venues that were appropriate for a fine arts listening environment. The venues were therefore equipped with appropriate lighting and PA systems, along with handicap accessibility and a staff of employees or volunteers who were able to help in the production of a fine arts performance. Particularly, we sought out communities that continue to have a music education program in their school system. This allowed me to connect with those school districts via arts learning programs in conjunction with the public performances. 4. I looked for communities that I've never had an opportunity. Through the Legacy grant, I believe I have created a footprint to return successfully to those communities because of our performance.",,14997,"Other, local or private",74983,3242,,,"William C.

Survey results from a post project artist survey revealed that 64% of the 2012 Caravan du Nord artists had never performed in the communities or venues in which they appeared as part of this project.

More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities. Quantitative data indicate that we met our objectives in terms of schools/students reached. Quantitative/qualitative surveys distributed to students, classroom teachers, and teaching artists tracked individual classroom goal attainment, as well as our overall success in meeting our project objectives. The analysis showed that the live performance greatly increased students’ interest in the dance forms and their enthusiasm about the learning experience. The workshops allowed students to develop a relationship with the artists prior to the performance, which mutually enhanced the students' interest in and understanding of the performance.","The project reached 518 students from eight schools. The program consisted of five free, one-hour distance learning workshops, and augmented our traditional distance learning experience by providing a student matinee performance at The Cowles Center and a post-performance workshop at no cost to schools through bus subsidies and free tickets. The pilot was built on the platform of our award-winning Distance Learning Program, which was designed to remove the barriers of time, cost, and distance to provide a sustained and engaging dance residency experience for Minnesota students through the use of state-of-the-art videoconferencing technology. While the program creates access for students to engage in arts learning directly with teaching artists, it does not address the potential to increase the impact of the learning experience through a traditional performance element. The pilot allowed us to offer a combined distance learning/live performance hybrid program to students at eight Minnesota schools at no cost. The pilot was developed by participating teaching artists and Cowles staff, with a call for interest survey distributed to Distance Learning Program partner schools. Project evaluation showed the strategies to be effective programmatically and in terms of mitigating barriers. 2: The participants were identified prior to the submission of the proposal to the Minnesota State Arts Board. Due to a scheduling conflict with the student matinee and Buffalo High School's testing dates, Buffalo High School dropped the program prior to the start date. We worked instead with Highland Senior High School, reaching eight Minnesota schools (518 students) with the arts learning project as defined in the proposal. We reached 518 more Minnesotans through the pilot project.

Explorations that begin for those attending the readings can be extended through book purchases and writers workshops the following day.To assess where our programs have resulted in the intended outcomes we will rely on a short survey and on-site observations by our staff and volunteers.

The survey also contains other questions pertinent to the series allowing us to be responsive to the needs and interests of our constituents. Our Spoken Word Committee, Bemidji Community Art Center board members and staff will make observations concerning logistics such as the audio system placement, seating arrangements and the number of people attending. Surveys will help us assess marketing strategy, keep track of new attendees, compile and respond to audience reactions and add to a list of possible writers for future presentations.","Direct observations of the readings’ effects on audiences and the passion/enthusiasm expressed in survey results were very gratifying.

This component was instrumental for many of our students as they look to the future and try to determine if a career in ballet/dance is something they wish to pursue. Furthermore, we created more dance opportunities related to this partnership than we previously offered in the form of a James Sewell Ballet summer dance intensive and a chance for our company dancers to travel to the James Sewell Ballet studios to rehearse with their company (3 total trips). James Sewell Ballet also helped choreograph pieces that were debuted here on our stage during our Reif Company Dance Show. Evaluation was completed via weekly phone conferences and occasional face-to-face meetings between Reif Center and James Sewell Ballet staff/administration. 2: Because of our rural location, our dancers generally do not have access to high quality arts/dance experiences outside of occasional master classes we offer at the Reif when travelling ballet companies, etc., are presented here as part of our performance season. Because of this limited access, we thought it was imperative to collaborate with a high-profile ballet company to increase opportunities to study/learn about dance on a professional level. We were able to achieve that goal with this partnership. Evaluation was done as part of the Reif/James Sewell Ballet collaborative team meetings via phone conferences and sit-downs. We also received high praise from dance parents, community partners, and, of course, the dancers themselves.

Additionally, of the arts learners who had previous theatre experience, 70% of those experiences occurred at their school, thus this project increased the venues in which youth could have arts learning opportunities. To measure the outcomes, arts learners took a pre-program survey collecting data on the frequency and venue of arts learning experiences before coming to Woodland Hills and arts learning opportunities at Woodland Hills. 2: Before participating in this project, 96% of students had never had an in depth theatre experience and only 38% of students had any experience in theatre. Following the completion of the project, 21% of participants said they would “definitely” participate in theatre outside of Woodland Hills, 32% said they were “interested”, and 42% said they “might” participate. Only 5% stated that they would “definitely not” participate in theatre in the future. It is our conclusion that this project introduced students to a new arts opportunity that many will pursue in the future.

Post-surveys will assess how participants anticipate using Monkey Mind Pirates’ characters, metaphors, music, and mindfulness methods to address stress in their families.","Z Puppets’ 2013 tour fulfilled the originally stated outcome of providing northern Minnesota families with a quality arts experience and creative approach to stress relief through our puppet, rock, yoga adventure Monkey Mind Pirates. We adapted the production to fit the needs of informal community venues by scaling down the narrative, sets and technical effects while increasing the interactivity. We presented this new Monkey Mind Pirates Family Yoga Party at all nine branches of the Kitchigami Library System, Duluth’s Twin Ports Bridge Festival and at Down Up North (Duluth affiliate of Down Syndrome Association Minnesota). To measure the impact of this new show, we asked audience members to fill out post-show surveys. As an incentive, we offered to enter each completed survey in a drawing for a prize (a Monkey Mind Pirates CD). Respondents indicated a high understanding and usefulness of the key messages of our Quest for Calm and rated high levels of engagement and enjoyment of the show. 2: We worked with Down Syndrome Association Minnesota Duluth affiliate, Down Up North to provide three Monkey Mind Pirates playful mindfulness family workshops. The series began with a free public performance of Monkey Mind Pirates Family Yoga Party at the end of Down Up North’s popular annual picnic. At the end of each workshop, we asked the participants to share with us how they anticipated using Z Puppets’ characters, metaphors, music, and mindfulness methods to address stress in their families. The families rated the usefulness high because of the multi-modal approach combining music, puppets, story, and yoga.

Disappointment was expressed in the size of the audience, signaling the need that more be done to capture the imagination and attention of the community to which we tour.

Musical guest artists are intended highlights of the Lover production. Beyond enhancing the quality of the production through collaboration, professional artists will be sharing their art form with new audiences. 2: James Sewell Ballet will work and engage with presenters to introduce people to contemporary ballet in eight touring destinations throughout Minnesota. James Sewell Ballet will ensure success with this outcome by working with presenters in advance of visits. One measure of achievement will be how James Sewell Ballet and the presenters work together to include audience members in the artistic product, Your Move.","James Sewell Ballet toured the proposed Lover/Your Move Tour to eight greater Minnesota communities: Staples, Red Wing, Dawson, Austin, Grand Rapids, Luverne, Faribault and Duluth. Not only did we reach new Minnesota communities – and others locations not visited in many years – but we brought our unique contemporary work along with prominent Twin Cities’ song and theater artists on the tour with us and featured in the Lover work. This was a treat for audiences, and they told us so! Your Move was the other piece on the program. We were able to reach out to the local dance communities, solicit video of Their Moves in advance, and include their specific movement and dance participation in the staged productions at each location. Many of the local participants expressed genuine thanks and were thrilled to be involved with the James Sewell Ballet artists in this high level engagement. We did seek feedback from people attending performances via verbal and survey response to know we made a significant impact. 2: Our efforts to work with the selected presenting communities was an outgrowth of James Sewell Ballet’s participation in a Minnesota Presenters’ Conference the year before. Since that was the platform to pre-determine interest in the Lover/Your Move Tour that we completed, James Sewell Ballet’s Artistic and Executive Directors spoke with venue representatives at the original conference. That gave us the confidence and opportunity well in advance to know we had reliable and networked partners that could make our plans successful, in both reaching and involving dance audiences. Beyond our presenting partners in the eight communities, we also reached out to local dance schools and instructors to plan our activities and maximize results with the Your Move work. We got excellent feedback about the experience from the actual participants. We can effectively use this approach in other Minnesota communities in the future.",,58545,"Other, local or private",149023,5714,"L Tom Anderson, Laura Bednarski, Paula Claire, Jayne Emory, Dean Genth, Joanne Gordon, Kelly Kita, James McCarthy, Jenny Lind Nilsson, Martin Rigney, Kevin Smith, Steven Suckow, George Sutton, Michelle Wirtz",3.75,"Ballet Works, Inc.

A sustainability plan will be developed that examines and plans for supporting arts programming costs through ticket sales, outreach performances, and additional funding sources and partnerships with the school district and a local university.","Woodland Hills could only offer theatre with this support, thus the type of arts learning opportunities at Woodland Hills increased. Also, this outcome was measured by a pre-program survey, which indicated only 10% of arts learners had taken part in an in-depth theatre arts learning experience, thus increasing the quantity of arts learning opportunities for Minnesota youth. The majority of theatre experiences indicated by arts learners took place in schools, so offering theatre at a residential treatment center increased the venues for arts learning opportunities. Secondary: Following the completion of the project, 77% of participants said they would definitely or were interested in participating in theatre in the future. In final reflections, 65% of arts learners indicated the arts learning experience helped them gain understanding about their own personal experiences with how people use power and 89% indicated the project helped them work toward treatment goals. 2: Woodland Hills is challenged to develop a sustainability plan that supports arts programming through ticket sales, outreach performances, other funding sources, or through partnerships with the school district or local universities. Staff retention issues at Woodland Hills and budget shortfalls at Woodland Hills and the schools in 2013 meant fewer resources dedicated to building an arts programs, or any program beyond mental health services.

This outcome will be achieved at the end of each respective grant-funded event. If funding is received, we will know that we achieved the outcome of performing in 3 new communities right after we perform.","I and my artistic partners were paid fair wages for our work while being able to tour five brand new outstate communities. Through our outreach in Koochiching County, we actually toured an additional two communities, Littlefork and Northome. We strengthened our relationship with Albert Lea and Moorhead. In Albert Lea, we performed two improv outreach programs, expanding our and the presenting partner's relationships in the community. In Moorhead, we expanded on our past outreach experiences by rehearsing and performing in a public concert with the students. The presenting partners were able to work with reasonably reduced rates in lieu of the grant-funding. Amy Stearns, executive director at Detroit Lakes' Historic Holmes Theatre, stated that she had always been interested in working with me, but couldn't make the money work. With the grant-funding, Amy was able to bring us in for outreach and a concert. 2: After contract amendment, five of the seven partnered communities were brand new to us. Our experience with new communities was amazing! I.e., performing eight different educational outreach programs in Koochiching county in conjunction with a capstone concert in International Falls. Our outreach contact in Northome stated, Without a doubt, there are students that heard them play that would not have had the opportunity to hear them if this had not been presented at our school.

Actor/job experts say 100% of learners improved skills. To determine the degree of project success, CLIMB used a multi-tiered evaluation plan including: daily staff and student evaluations, final evaluations, artist journals, quizzes, and third party reviews of mock interviews. CLIMB, reviewed all evaluation data regularly. CLIMB considered the project a success if 95% of staff reported that learner’s benefited on the final evaluation, and if 93% of learners participating in the mock interviews showed improvement. CLIMB surpassed both measures. 2: 100% of partners say CLIMB overcame barriers they and/or their learners' experience that prevents participation in arts learning. Each partner organization submitted a letter indicating if CLIMB overcame their students’ barriers to arts participation. 100% of partner organizations submitted these letters and noted CLIMB's success. Moreover, though not an outcome measure, CLIMB also asked students to both identify barriers, and if CLIMB overcame these barriers in the final evaluations. 94% reported CLIMB barriers to participation in these evaluations.

However, serious gaps remain in our understanding of these contaminants and the significance of the threats they may pose. Through this appropriation scientists at the University of St. Thomas, Gustavus Adolphus College, and the University of Minnesota are cooperating to focus specifically on the threats posed by antibiotics to understand which antibiotics are of the most concern - for example, because of their potential to increase antibiotic resistance - and to delineate their urban and rural sources. Findings will help develop strategies to manage threats and minimize future impacts posed by antibiotics to human and ecological health.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS While the presence of antibiotics in surface waters has received attention due to concerns about health or ecological impacts, major gaps still remain in our understanding of the scope and significance of this potential problem. The goal of this study was to address the question of whether human or agricultural sources of antibiotics and antibiotic resistant bacteria may be the most significant in surface waters impacted by both. We focused on drainage ditches that receive farm runoff and municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents as possible sources for a portion of the Minnesota River in Southern Minnesota. We studied four major classes of antibiotics used in agriculture (for veterinary purposes or as growth promoters) as well as in human medicine. We conducted 12 sampling campaigns over a 28-month period from 2011 - 2013, a time period that included extremely wet and dry seasons and therefore highly variable water levels. We collected samples from two agricultural drainage ditches, two municipal wastewater treatment plants, four locations in the river (upstream of both treatment plants, between the two plants, at the outfall of the second plant, and downstream of both plants), and from a nearby reference creek site. For collected samples we quantified six antibiotic resistance genes, susceptibility of cultivable bacteria to four antibiotics, and concentrations of six antibiotics. The highest levels of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance were consistently associated with the municipal wastewater treatment plant samples. In addition, tetracycline-resistant bacteria isolated from wastewater treatment plants were found to be much more likely (103 out of 124 isolates) than tetracycline-resistant bacteria isolated from the river (0 out of 148 isolates) to have an integron, a mobile genetic element that can be associated with multiple-antibiotic resistance. These findings suggest human sources are much more significant than agricultural sources for this portion of the Minnesota River. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The students who have been involved in this project have made multiple poster presentations in local venues on their work over the course of the project. In addition, the results have been disseminated via multiple poster and oral presentations at professional conferences.

PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The students who have been involved in this project have made multiple poster presentations in local venues on their work over the course of the project. In addition, the results have been disseminated via multiple poster and oral presentations at professional conferences.

The metadata assignment is in progress; however, this step of the project will be modified, as BCHS will be migrating to CollectiveAccess in early 2022. Our intent is to wait on the majority of the metadata assignments until the switch is complete. This will allow us to be trained on the new software and its particular requirements and guidelines for metadata. Intermediate Term: BCHS began promotion of the project in mid-summer 2021, in our quarterly newsletter The Depot Express, via social media, and in a press release to local media publicizing our receipt of the Legacy Grant for this project. There was immediate interest, as indicated by comments on social media and visitors to the museum, along with several donations specifically in support for the transcription expenses of the project. We've already had requests from several individuals for access to specific recordings: Jon Quistgaard, a local historian and author, requested and was given access to the Neils Hakkerup recording as soon as it was available, for an article he was in the process of researching and writing; and from Dr. Virgil Benoit, UND professor emeritus, for access to the recordings of Fred Cyr, an early county settler. We will continue to promote and publicize the project, now that the transcriptions are underway and will be available. Long Term: The long-term aspects are in process. As part of the CollectiveAccess migration, our collections access system and on-line presence will both change significantly. Our plan is to wait until that change is complete before we make the bulk of the recordings widely available. Also, the transcription piece of the project will take far longer than expected 'we were overly optimistic about this. We believe that having the transcriptions available along with the recordings is important for the broadest public access. However, these mean a delay in our full implementation, and not a hard stop. We also benefit from the Minnesota Digital Library's assistance with our transcriptions. As part of that arrangement, MDL will make our recordings available through their on-line collections.

Ben Berger was a park board commissioner and, after seeing a dandelion fountain in Australia, fundraised to build a sister fountain right here in Minnesota. It has become a historic icon in Minneapolis and its park system during several planning processes throughout the last many decades, the community has strongly communicated their desire to preserve, maintain, and restore the fountain for future generations. The Berger Fountain rehabilitation was identified as a priority in the Loring Park Neighborhood Revitalization Plan (NRP) Phase I Plan, the Loring Park NRP Phase II Plan, and the Loring Park Neighborhood Small Area Plan; all three plans were adopted by the Minneapolis City Council in 1995, 2008, and 2013, respectively. The Downtown Public Realm Plan, adopted in 2016, also identified the Berger Fountain as a priority in its planning. A Berger Fountain Task Force (Task Force) was formed in 2014 to work independently and collaboratively with the MPRB to improve maintenance and support for the fountain. In 2017, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) adopted the Downtown Service Area Master Plan (DSAMP) which set goals for long-term development and improvements to parks guided by extensive engagement from the communities that MPRB serves. After months of engaging with community, DSAMP outlined a high-level vision for Loring Park, including a vision for Berger Fountain and the surrounding park space. This vision included refurbishing and retaining the dandelion fountain alongside additional community amenities, such as considering a water feature, and adding a plaza and additional seating areas to increase community access (see pages 4-73 through 4-77 for DSAMP Berger Fountain content: https://www.minneapolisparks.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/MPRB_DSAMP_Nov2017_ch4.pdf.) In summer 2020, the Berger Fountain ceased to operate because to deferred maintenance and capacity due to the pandemic, which heightened the need to move rehabilitation forward. In June 2022, landscape architect Damon Farber LLC was hired to complete a rehabilitation assessment and preliminary cost estimate for future work. Damon Farber's assessment informed next steps in the process. In 2023, MPRB hired Damon Farber again to engage the community further and complete a final design concept and initial cost estimate.

",,"The purpose of this initiative was to protect fish, migratory birds, big game, and oak habitat along the Crow Wing, Gull, Nokasippi, and Mississippi Rivers via conservation easements. These river corridors are very vulnerable to habitat degradation due to the potential for development. The Camp Ripley military training center is located immediately adjacent to the confluence of the Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers. Camp Ripley contains 19 miles of Mississippi River frontage and 8 miles of Crow Wing River frontage that provide habitat for many species including 45 Species of Greatest Conservation Need. This project built upon past Camp Ripley partnership success with the Army Compatible Use Buffer program (ACUB). This federal program provided funds to protect adjacent lands from encroaching development and in the process protects the training center, water quality and wildlife habitat. Fifteen easements were secured totaling 946 acres which was 130% over our gaol of 720 acres. The largest easement was 278 acres with two others that were approximately 100 acres. The average easement size was 63 acres. These parcels are primarily forested with some wetlands. As of this writing the ACUB program has protected over 25,000 acres through conservation easements and fee title including 204 RIM easements totaling over 22,000 acres. In 2014 alone BWSR leveraged $1,000,000 in National Guard Bureau and Department of Army ACUB funds for easement acquisition. As of this writing, during the life of the ACUB program, over $33,000,000 from National Guard Bureau and Department of Army funds have been directed to BWSR for easement acquisition.  Camp Ripley is home to one of the southern-most wolf populations in Minnesota and 65 species of Greatest Conservation Need including the state’s highest population of red shouldered hawks. Red-shouldered Hawks are forest dependent species and the parcels protected in this grant help to ensure that a viable population remains in the Camp Ripley area. Likewise, wolves in Minnesota, are primarily forest species and need rather large areas to maintain pack integrity and reduce competition with neighboring packs and humans. Again, these parcels help to protect this species.       This project utilized Camp Ripley’s partnerships with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR),The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Morrison Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to solicit applications and to score and rank applications. The partnership uses a variety of methods to generate landowner interest and solicit applications including; mailings, open houses, direct contact with landowners and special Camp Ripley events. Applications are sorted into agricultural easements (Non-OHF) and riparian and forested lands easements (OHF). They are then scored and ranked against a GIS based system that ranks parcels based upon a number of factors including habitat quality and proximity to Camp Ripley. Applications are then funded in priority order from appropriate funding sources until all funds are used up. The application process is continuous and there is generally a considerable backlog of interested landowners at any specific point in time. Once a funding decision has been made Morrison SWCD and BWSR work together to accomplish the standard RIM easement acquisition process and the easement becomes part of the RIM portfolio.  ",2014-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Helen,McLennan,"Morrison SWCD","16776 Heron Rd ","Little Falls",MN,56345,"(320) 616-2479",helen.mclennan@mn.nacdnet.net,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Carlton, Cass, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, Morrison, St. Louis, Wadena","Forest Prairie Transition, Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/camp-ripley-partnership-phase-iv,,,,

It will increase the amount of available public lands for hunting and angling opportunities within an easy drive for over half of the State's population. In addition, increased restoration activities will occur in this phase to improve the habitat conditions of currently protected public lands. Located south of the Twin Cities, the 1,460 square mile Cannon River Watershed includes over 800 linear miles of streams and rivers that drain a diverse landscape. This area has seen increased development pressure due to the transportation ease of the I-35 corridor and the attraction of the Cannon Lakes, and much of this area has already suffered fragmentation and habitat loss. Historically inhabited by Big Woods, the landscape is now dominated by agricultural fields and, to a lesser extent, development. Agricultural practices and shoreline development are the major contributors to the impaired status of stretches of the Cannon River and its associated lakes and streams. The DNR's Southern Region Conservation Focus Area assessment tool ranked the Cannon River area as having the highest level of interdivisional conservation priority when examined at the landscape level. This conservation effort is part of a multi-year, multi-partner strategy that includes acquisition, protection, and restoration of core parcels of land that will contribute to large complexes of restored prairies, grasslands, wetlands, lakeshore, and river shoreline. Acquisitions are targeted toward existing large wetland/upland complexes, rare communities (Big Woods forest, tamarack swamp), shallow lakes, river shoreline, and lands adjacent to existing protected areas. Ongoing partnerships with the MN DNR, The Nature Conservancy, and the Cannon River Watershed Partnership are critical in further identifying priority conservation opportunities and protection strategies for the existing high biodiversity areas. Protecting and restoring vegetative cover within basins and the riparian areas of the lakes, rivers and streams in this focus area will also help protect water quality by reducing surface water runoff and by providing ecological services such as infiltration through natural buffers to our waterways. Parcels targeted for restoration will be evaluated by Great River Greening in collaboration with MN DNR and county SWCD personnel, to determine existing and desired conditions for each site. Information gathered will be used to develop a site specific scope of work plans for restoring ecologically desired habitats.

Protection of this large complex will provide opportunities for public hunting, fishing and wildlife conservation. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase I project will also restore ~200 acres of the protected lands.The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex effort will address the following problems: degradation and loss of quality and diversity of habitat in the prairie section of the State; degradation of water quality in the Cannon River Watershed; and lack of available public lands for hunting and angling opportunities, especially within an hour’s drive for over half of the state’s population.Located just south of the Twin Cities metro in an area that has seen development pressure due to the close proximity of the Twin Cities, I-35 and the Upper Cannon Lakes, much of this part of the state has already suffered fragmentation and habitat loss. Historically inhabited by Big Woods, the landscape is now dominated by agricultural fields and, to a lesser extent, development. Agricultural practices and shoreline development are also the major contributors to the impaired status of stretches of the Cannon River and its associated lakes and streams.This conservation effort is part of a long-term effort that includes acquisition, protection, and restoration of core parcels of land that will contribute to a large complex of restored prairies, grasslands, wetlands, lakeshore, and river shoreline. The complex is encircled by the Upper Cannon River, starting at its headwaters at Shields Lake where it flows west, then as it flows south and east through the towns of Waterville and Morristown, and then as it heads northeast before reaching the city of Faribault.The initial acquisitions of the overall effort are prioritized toward existing large wetland/upland complexes, rare communities (Big Woods forest, tamarack swamp), shallow lakes, river shoreline, and lands adjacent to existing protected areas. Landowner willingness to sell and the threat of development are also taken into consideration. Restoration work will be focused on the degraded portions of the lands acquired and will include conversion of agricultural fields near wetlands, lakes, rivers and existing protected areas back into native habitat.Protection and restoration of these significant parcels will provide critical habitat for game species, including migratory waterfowl (mallards, canvasback, wood ducks, hooded mergansers, pintails, lesser scaup), upland birds (dove, turkey, pheasant, and woodcock) white tail deer, and fish (northern pike, black crappies, bluegills, bullheads and walleye). Protection will also provide access for a diversity of recreational experiences including duck, pheasant, turkey and deer hunting as well as river, stream, and lake fishing. Non-game wildlife, including Species in Greatest Conservation Need, likely to benefit from this protection and restoration work includes Bald Eagle, Bell’s Vireo, Cerulean Warbler, Loggerhead Shrike, Sandhill Crane, Red-headed Woodpecker, Greater Yellowlegs, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Short-billed Dowitcher, Blanding’s Turtle, Mudpuppies, and the Giant Floater, a species of freshwater mussel.Protecting and restoring vegetative cover within basins and the riparian areas of the lakes, rivers, and streams in this focus area will also help protect water quality by reducing surface water runoff and by providing ecological services such as infiltration through natural buffers to our waterways. All wildlife—and humans—will benefit from improved water quality.All parcels have been scored through the DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife, Section of Wildlife’s SWAAT scoring tool. Additionally, the DNR’s Southern Region Conservation Focus Area assessment tool ranked the Cannon River area as having the highest level of inter-divisional conservation priority when examined at the landscape level (score= 6).Work will be completed in phases depending on funding availability. Properties targeted for acquisition and restoration as part of this Phase I request to LSOHC (FY12) include the following:Dora Lake WMA (new)- tracts 1 and 2 (LeSueur County) This is a large (510-acre) upland-wetland complex with a mosaic of native plant types. It is near the Velishek, Diamond Lake, and the proposed LeTamaraque WMAs and the Delehanty Waterfowl Production Area (WPA). The parcel contains Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS)- identified native habitat including a portion of remnant Big Woods, some southern-most occurrence of tamarack swamp in the state, and 1.64 miles of naturally flowing Cannon River, directly upstream from a concentration of rare freshwater mussels. The Cannon is a large river basin that along with its associated uplands accomplishes Minnesota Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan (MSCPP) habitat goals #1,2,5, and 7 by maintaining & enhancing water quality of a vital river. These tracts also provide an opportunity to retire approximately 200 acres of tilled land in a sensitive water quality area and restore them to wetlands, grassland and eventual guided succession to Big Woods. This tract would provide excellent opportunities for hunting, fishing, and recreating within a reasonable drive of the Twin Cities and many southwestern MN communities.Le Tamaracque WMA (addition)- tract 28 (Rice County) These 200 acres of rolling terrain with grasslands, forest, and wetlands riparian to the Cannon River are located within a 1000-acre complex of MCBS-identified habitat with high biodiversity significance. Rare communities include Big Woods, some of the southern- most occurrence of Tamarack Swamp in the state, and mixed emergent marsh & prairie. The diversity of marshes and lowland brush is important for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent species. The mix of wetland and upland habitats provide nesting areas for waterfowl. Restoration would include minimal tree and shrub plantings to provide nesting cover and minimal wetland restoration. This property also provides easy road access for excellent hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities.Caron Lake WMA (new) Tracts 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 (Rice County) These 260 acres of rolling croplands, grasslands, forest, and wetlands include lands riparian to the shallow Caron Lake and an unditched tributary, Devil’s Creek, which is very rare in this area of the state. The property is adjacent to the Caron Lake Aquatic Management Area and contains approximately half mile of frontage on Caron Lake. The area is within a complex of shallow lakes that drain into the Cannon River. Protecting shoreline vegetation on Caron Lake is important for spawning and nursery habitat for northern pike and other native fishes; protecting natural buffers/water quality is critical for walleye downstream in Cedar Lake. This area is known to host both divers and puddle ducks during the fall migration. This is a great production area for turkey, deer, and other forest species, and extensive hunting opportunities would be available with direct and easy access provided by this acquisition. These tracts provide the opportunity to convert approximately 180 acres of farmed land in this sensitive water quality area and restore them to wetlands, grasslands, and either Oak Savannah or Big Woods habitat. Restoration will provide substantial payback for waterfowl and other marsh denizens given the complex of habitats within a biologically meaningful proximity.Boyd Sartell WMA tract 3 (Rice County) This tract contains diverse marsh habitats and about 14 acres of uplands consisting of oak islands and grassy knolls along the headwaters of the Cannon River. Acquisition will conserve a high quality emergent marsh complex (as characterized by MCBS) associated with General Shields Lake and Little Mud Lake. The acquisition will protect seasonally flooded wetlands and other key habitats for waterfowl and wetland wildlife ranging from sedge wrens and ring-necked ducks to sandhill cranes and trumpeter swans. The area also provides habitat for rare animals and species of conservation need, including colonial waterbirds and Blanding’s turtles. The tract would expand the Boyd Sartell and protect a part of a large, relatively unfragmented habitat area and corridor – a rare entity in south-central Minnesota.Dora Lake WMA tracts 3 & 4 (LeSueur County) Please see above description for Dora Lake WMAThe Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex effort is highly supported by the Cannon River Watershed Partnership, the Tri-Lake Sports Club, the Dark House Anglers Southern Chapter, Minnesota Deer Hunters Association South Central Prairieland Bucks Chapter (Le Sueur, Rice, Waseca, and Steele Counties), Waterville Sportsman’s Club, Montgomery Sportsmen’s Club, Minnesota Waterfowl Association Scott- LeSueur Chapter, the Izaak Walton League Owatonna Chapter, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

The protection and creation/expansion of two large complexes (Gray Fox WMA and Murphy WMA) provides new opportunities for public hunting, fishing, and wildlife observation. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase VI program was designed to address the following problems: degradation and loss of quality and diversity of habitat in the prairie section of the State, degradation of water quality in the Cannon River Watershed; and lack of available public lands for hunting and angling opportunities, especially within an hour's drive for over half of the state's population. The Phase VI program is a part of a multi-year conservation effort, focusing on the Cannon River Watershed, that includes acquisition, protection, and restoration of core parcels of land that will contribute to a large complex of restored prairies, grasslands, wetlands, lakeshore, and river shoreline. The Phase VI acquisitions were prioritized toward protecting existing large wetland/upland complexes and rare communities (Big Woods forest, oak savanna, tamarack swamp). In addition, landowner willingness to sell and the threat of conversion were also taken into consideration. Protection of these lands provides critical habitat for game species, including migratory waterfowl (mallards, canvasback, wood ducks, hooded mergansers, pintails, lesser scaup), upland birds (dove, turkey, pheasant, and woodcock), white tail deer, and fish (northern pike, black crappies, bluegills, bullheads and walleye). Protection will also provide access for a diversity of recreational experiences including duck, pheasant, turkey and deer hunting, lake fishing, and wildlife observation. In addition, restoration work conducted by the MN DNR has been focused on the degraded portions of the lands acquired and has included restoration of agricultural fields near wetlands and lakes back to native habitat. Specifically, two acquisitions were completed with Phase VI funding: 1. Gray Fox WMA - Rice County: The Trust for Public Land acquired the Gray Fox WMA property on October 19, 2018 and conveyed the 78 acre property to the DNR on April 23, 2019 to be managed as a new Wildlife Management Area. This property has rolling topography of wetland and grassland habitat located in the upper reaches of the Cannon River Watershed just west of Shields Lake (the headwaters of the Cannon River). It has great scenic views and natural beauty, and it will provide much needed public access for dispersed wildlife-based recreation including hiking, hunting, trapping, bird-watching, and general nature observation.

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

The Blue Earth River Basin needs to reduce fecal coliform from wastewater treatment facilities, rural household septic systems, livestock, wildlife and pets. Most livestock manure is used appropriately as a fertilizer and soil amendment, however the sheer volume of manure produced in the watershed means that runoff of even a very small percentage of what is applied may contaminate surface waters. The MN River Basin needs land use practices that reduce the amount of sediment and nutrients reaching the river. Installation of riparian buffers, streambank stabilization, water storage, surface tile intakes, and crop residue management help to reduce sediment transport. On farmland, conservation tillage and increased crop diversity including pasture can reduce sediment loss considerably. Crop nutrient management plans keep nitrogen and phosphorus out of waters, as do improvements in private and public wastewater treatment systems. In cities and developing areas, stormwater management and construction erosion control prevent sediment runoff. The Urban Outreach Specialist will also work directly with wellhead protection issues. Groundwater and drinking water source protection will be one of the focus areas of the position, those concerns are also directly impacted by the BMPs promoted through the remaining three staff positions.

More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities. 2. The quantity and types of arts learning opportunities available in the state increases. 1) At the end of each normal teaching year (September – May) we send out evaluation forms to our students and/or their parents. We ask questions such as: Scheduling ease, timely response from staff, did they learn what they expected or more than expected, friendliness of instructor, knowledge shared by the instructor and would they recommend the Headwaters School to their friends/family. We do receive about 70% of these evaluations back and the results are compiled and shared with the instructor and board. 2) After a grant activity has been completed, we have evaluation forms filled out by participants. This becomes a valuable tool for future planning with the artist(s) as instructors and for Headwaters School as a tool for determining if this is the type of programming we should be offering more often. 3) The third assessment process we use is with our funders and instructors. We ask them to tell about their experience with us in the planning process, the execution process and if they are happy with the outcome of the workshop/class. All three of these assessments help us to make changes in a timely fashion if needed. Everyone involved has the option to get feedback in a timely manner thus feeling more control over what happens and how it happens. Using these assessments helps us with planning for new programming, and what kind of marketing is needed to bring more participants to the Headwaters School. By using the results of evaluations we can provide arts learning opportunities that speak to what our constituents desire, therefore, more Minnesotans will be engaged in arts learning opportunities. Additionally, it is our opinion that using these evaluation methods helps to identify those artists who most likely will be successful in teaching their art form to the audiences at Headwaters School. All artists are not teachers and it is important to make sure we know that. When we have an instructor who becomes frustrated with attendance of students or has trouble getting to work – we can be pretty assured there is a problem. We can quickly contact everyone involved and try to make changes that will enhance the situation. If an instructor needs help, we can make them aware of available resources to assist him/her.","1) During fiscal year 2012, we made two new programs available at Headwaters School of Music and the Arts. One is an arts program that brings persons of retirement age together. The program is evaluated verbally. When we began this program, the group was meeting four times per month for rehearsal purposes, but only performed three times per month. Now they perform five times per month. The group has also grown from 18 participants to nearly 30. The second program that became available in 2012 was an opportunity for pre-school aged students to explore music and dance in collaboration with Bemidji Parks and Recreation. We work collectively with the city's parks and recreation department to evaluate this program's effectiveness. 2) With the additional programming opportunities afforded us by the Community Schools and Conservatories grant, we have been able to employ additional artists and bring more arts opportunities to our community.",,137473,"Other, local or private",148370,1250,"Nicholas Jackson, Jane Mueller, Terry Jones, Don Zieman, Jess Evenson, Linda Wagner, Al Pederson, Diane Rose",1.85,"Headwaters School of Music and the Arts","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts Schools and Conservatories",,,2012-01-01,2012-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Janet,Brademan,"Headwaters School of Music and the Arts","519 Minnesota Ave NW",Bemidji,MN,56601,"(218) 444-5606 ",headwatersschool@yahoo.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Beltrami, Cass, Clearwater, Hubbard, Itasca, Polk",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-schools-and-conservatories-8,"Paul Anderson, Educator Patricia Beckmann AKA Pat Beckman, Executive Director, Waseca Arts Council.

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

School performances and Family Concerts, mentioned above, are part of this. They always include introductions and explanations suitable to the age of the listeners, as well as opportunities for audience members to ask questions. Additionally, we always invite performers to speak to the concert audience, and many do. We find this to have more of an impact than written program notes, although we include those also when appropriate. Commentary during concerts also serves to create a relationship between performers and audience members, which enhances the total experience. The activities that were primarily geared toward enhancing the understanding and appreciation of chamber music included the events at Whitney Senior Center and the masterclasses and sessions involving coaching. However, all of our outreach activities inherently have an educational component. We have always made a point of taking groups to schools with high numbers of students who qualify for free or reduced price lunches, ensuring that we serve economically needy children. While we program our free Family Concerts to offer families with young children a chance to hear these fine ensembles perform a shorter less formal concert, we find that grandparents and other senior citizens comprise about 15-30% of these audiences.

","Achieved some of the proposed outcomes",,,,,,,4.34,"Wilderness Inquiry",,"Wilderness Inquiry will expand its work to provide a continuum of outdoor experiences for youth, adults, and families in communities across Minnesota by: - Connecting 11,000 individuals of all ages, backgrounds, identities, and abilities to Minnesota's outdoor heritage through a progression of outdoor adventures including day programs, virtual learning sessions, and overnight camping adventures. By hosting hybrid programs available to Minnesotans across the state, we reduce barriers to participation, reach a diverse array of participants, and support students with diverse learning styles. Virtual programs strengthen our in-person experiences by allowing us to engage students and families before and after the on-water Canoemobile program, leading to deeper engagement and impact. - Providing standards-based educational content through hands-on activities that engage students with Minnesota history and culture. Program content, developed in collaboration with the National Park Service and other partners, is tied to Minnesota state standards to seamlessly integrate into school curriculum. In addition, even virtual sessions include a hands-on kit with materials and tools for active participation and experiential engagement. - Providing training and career pathway opportunities that tie to outdoor careers and Minnesota's outdoor heritage. - Supporting the physical, mental, and social-emotional wellbeing of Minnesota youth, adults, and families through immersive outdoor experiences. Specific project activities teach Minnesota history and culture while building skills in camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking, fire building, species identification, animal adaptations, and orienteering. By providing virtual instruction as well, WI delivers hands-on educational experiences in the outdoors that tie to classroom learning and enhance the distance-learning experience. For many participants, WI provides a foundation that offers the first immersive experience in the outdoors. Our youth programs have been shown to increase student confidence, improve persistence and grit, inspire interest in outdoors-related careers, and cultivate a stewardship ethic. Our programs are designed to break down barriers to access for individuals and communities that are historically underrepresented in outdoor spaces and activities - specifically, individuals who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+, those who experience financial inequity, and individuals with disabilities.

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

Turtle Creek is an impaired water body due to excessive sediment being delivered to the stream. The implementation plan for the Cedar River Basin identifies several areas in the watershed with different contributing factors for protection. In the targeted areas of this initiative, the sediment is coming from overland flow and getting into the waterway. This project would utilize the existing CRP program and design standards for eligibility of payment. This ensures that the project is designed to act as a fully operational filter and catchment area for overland flow of sediment, and hold those suspended solids in the grass buffer, prior to its delivery into the waterway.","This project resulted in estimated reductions of 1,200 tons of sediment per year and 54 fewer tons of soil lost annually.",,9375,"LOCAL LEVERAGED FUNDS",35625,,"Members for Turtle Creek WD are: Al Lyman, Arlen Schamber, Dan Regner, David Vanderploeg, Harlen Peck, James Gebhardt, James Kellogg, Jeff Ravenhorst, Jim Gebhardt, Jon Erichson, Mike Jones, Peter Vanerkel, Randy Smith, Richard Fuller, Rick Gehling, Steve Kraushaar",0.09,"Turtle Creek WD","Local/Regional Government","In the battle to make real progress in sediment reduction to Turtle Creek, buffer strips are on the defensive front lines, holding the land at its most critical point. Grass strips along waterways have long provided a catchment area for agricultural field runoff. The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has developed guidance and performance standards that utilize the maximum amount of benefit when installed through that program. In recent years, the Turtle Creek Watershed residents have faced a difficult decision over whether or not to incorporate grass buffers on their farms. Many are even converting existing contracts back to crop land. This project targets the area identified as contributing the most sediment to Turtle Creek Watershed and will provide financial incentives to secure the necessary acres to establish buffer strips in this highly productive agricultural area.

The Minnesota Alliance of Local History Museums (MALHM) aims to grow the state:s network of regional history groups in partnership with several local history organizations. One of the top requests from MALHM members and conference attendees is additional networking opportunities to connect with colleagues in the field. By creating additional regional history groups, colleagues can learn from one another, increase collaboration, and offer support and advice close to home. Otter Tail County Historical Society will lead the creation of a regional history group that encompasses Clay, Wilkin, Traverse, Otter Tail, Grant, Douglas, Pope, Becker, and Stevens Counties and approximately 20 area organizations. Glensheen will work with organizations on the North Shore and in the Iron Range and Boundary Waters area. Currently, the Northland History Coalition exists:covering Carlton, Cook, Lake, and St. Louis Counties:but it has struggled with regular meetings and structure, in part due to the group:s large geographic region. Glensheen and MALHM will work with the area:s 29 organizations to figure out the most effective structure for the group, including the option of splitting up into multiple smaller regions covering Northern Minnesota. Blue Earth County Historical Society and Winona County Historical Society will develop a regional history group in south-central and southeast Minnesota.

The region also includes rivers, lakes, sedge meadows, bogs, and brushland. Each of these habitats are home to a wide array with game and non-game species, and multiple Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). They provide outdoor recreation, timber products, and support local communities. They also clean and absorb water and sequester carbon. However, these forests face increasing stress from invasive species, climate change, forest loss, and fragmentation. While forest harvest is an important tool in management of our forests, we can do additional or different enhancements to maximize the diversity and productivity of these habitats for both wildlife and people. For example, timber harvest can create a wildlife opening. However other management such as periodic mowing is needed to maintain he opening. We will accomplish strategic and targeted enhancements through contractors to conduct activities which support healthy, diverse and resilient habitats. Activities may include 1) invasive species control, 2) firebreak development and maintenance as well as prescribed burns in fire-dependent forests, brushlands and wetlands, 3) maintaining wildlife openings 4) tree removal, girdling, brush mowing/shearing, 5) infrastructure for conservation grazing in openland and brushland habitats, 6) tree release, such as enhancing oak management for mast production, 7) forest regeneration site prep, 8) seed and acorn collection followed by broadcasting and/or drilling of seed, and 8) tree planting and protection to reforest and restore habitats, add conifer to the landscape, provide thermal cover, diversify forests, and address ash stand management. Forest managers in Minnesota regularly work across agencies and NGOs to take a landscape view of forests. For instance, there is currently an NRCS RCPP (Regional Conservation Partnership Program) that promotes young forests for golden-winged warblers and other species that use these habitats. The people involved with this program regularly talk to DNR staff and those working for other agencies in northern Minnesota to coordinate efforts. This request seeks funding to enhance over 4,800 acres of habitat on public lands open to hunting, primarily but not limited to, WMA, AMA, SNA and State Forest.

This proposal will enhance wildlife habitat on permanently protected lands, most of which are open to public hunting. These include DNR WMAs, SNAs, AMAs, NPB easements, State and National Forests, as well as WPAs and NWRs","Roving Crews are fully equipped to conduct a range of habitat projects. The staff on these crews are solely dedicated to habitat enhancement and restoration. They do not work on infrastructure or non-habitat projects. In the prairies and western prairie pothole wetlands, they focus on prescribed burns, tree removal, grassland restorations, removal of old fencing, installing fenceposts for conservation grazing. In wetlands the focus is on wild rice collection and seeding, water control structure repair, wetland restorations with earth moving equipment, invasive species control, cattail spraying, and sediment removal. Forest projects include prescribed burns in fire-dependent forests and brushlands; tree seeding, planting, protection, and/or release of species such as oak and winter cover such as conifer; mowing and shearing of brushlands; maintenance of wildlife openings; and control of invasive species. While forest harvest is a valuable tool for many types of forest habitat enhancement, there are some habitat enhancements that harvests don't do or enhancements that can be done post-harvest to quickly improve habitat quality for wildlife. This can be especially true for practices such as shearing brushlands, where there isn't a strong economic incentive but numerous species of wildlife require these habitats for all or some stages of life. Prescribed fire can be used more to stimulate oak/acorn production for wildlife and improve pine forests as well as set back invasives. Making these habitat productive and diverse benefits wildlife as well as benefits native pollinators and commercial beekeepers. Enhancing all of these habitats maximizes the ecosystem services these habitats provide such as nitrate filtration, floodwater capture, and groundwater recharge, all in addition to the wildlife benefits. In the farmland region, we continue to lose ground on wetlands and grasslands. Therefore, its critical that the remaining public and protected habitats are in as high a quality as possible to both produce resident wildlife, such as pheasants, and be attractive to migratory wildlife, waterfowl that breed to our north.

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

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

",,"Stream projects were chosen based on the DNR's Stream Habitat Priority List, where projects are ranked based on a number of criteria surrounding support and outcomes. This appropriation funded nine stream projects, several of which involved external partners. Individual project details are listed below. - Solid Bottom Creek: This project addressed a steep, eroding stream bank along 500 feet of a designated trout stream.  The stream bank was a primary source of sedimentation within the stream, and likely contributed to a delta that is forming at the outlet of the stream in Elbow Lake.  Construction was completed in the spring of 2016, relocating the stream away from the tall eroding bank, stabilizing the toe of that bank by installing toe-wood structures, and enhancing pool habitat for trout that are stocked into the stream. - Whisky Creek: OHF funding from DNR was combined with a CPL grant to the City of Barnesville to fund the project.  Bids for the work came in under projected costs, which allowed the City to also remove another dam within city limits on Whisky Creek that was underneath a railroad bridge.  Work has been completed in 2015 on the modification of the dam at Blue Eagle Lake and the removal of the dam underneath the railroad bridge. This project restored fish passage to 31 miles of upstream habitat. -Minnesota River at Granite Falls: Construction of a riffle in the Minnesota River at Granite Falls was completed in December 2017. The project modified the remnants of an old dam made of rock into a riffle, enhancing spawning habitat that will be used by numerous fish species including lake sturgeon, walleye, and sauger. -Red Sand Lake outlet: The outlet structure on Red Sand Lake was modified to allow fish passage, with construction completed in June of 2018. The former drop structure within a culvert was replaced by a larger culvert with an arch-rapids upstream and downstream, and with natural substrate within the culvert. Fish passage between White Sand Lake, which lies downstream, Red Sand Lake, and wetlands in between will benefit Red Sand Lake, especially in the occasional year that it experiences a partial fish-kill due to low oxygen conditions. -South Branch Root River: This project was funded by the ML2013 and ML2014 DNR Aquatic Habitat appropriation. A 450 foot reach of the river was experiencing severe erosion, with the streambank losing over 10 feet per year. A riffle was constructed at the upstream end of the reach to direct flow, and a bankfull bench was constructed along the eroding bank using toe wood to enhance stability and fish habitat. The bench was vegetated with a native seed mix and willow live stakes. Construction was completed in August of 2018, with ML2013 funds only used for work completed prior to July 1, 2018. -Turtle River: DNR partnered with the US Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Beltrami County to replaced an undersized culvert that blocked fish passage. The project opened up 13,000 acres of lake and wetland habitat and 30 miles of river that was formerly inaccessible to fish downstream of the project. -Mississippi River at Weaver Bottoms: Former deepwater habitat in Goose Lake, a former floodplain lake on the Mississippi River had been filled with silt over several decades. This project dredged 9 acres back into deepwater habitat, and was completed in the fall of 2017. Dredge spoils from project excavation were stockpiled on land for drying and eventual spreading and revegetation on private land. The deepwater habitat is becoming rare on the river due to sedimentation, and is critical for over-wintering habitat for bluegill, crappies, and other fish species. This project was split between the ML2012 and ML2013 DNR Aquatic Habitat appropriations, and accomplished acres split proportional to the total cost contributed by each. -Middle Fork Zumbro River/Lake Shady: This appropriation funded a portion (along with the DNR's ML2013 Aquatic Habitat) of the restoration of the Middle Fork of the Zumbro River through a former impoundment known as Lake Shady. The dam had washed out in a 2011 flood, leaving behind an eroding mud flat that threatened to harm downstream reaches as it eroded, and contained poor habitat in the channels that had cut through the mud. The former dam site's grade was stabilized by creating a rapids of stable rock material, and within the former reservoir new stream channels with appropriate dimensions were constructed. Habitat in the new channels was restored to include woody material as well as rocky riffles. Re-vegetation of the surrounding reservoir sediments with native plant species will provide quality riparian and upland habitat as well. The project was completed in partnership with Olmsted County ($125,736), the city of Oronco ($83,824) and DNR Dam Safety bonding funds ($1,000,000) all contributing funding. An additional $236,540 of in-kind staff time was contributed by Olmsted County.  In addition to the 147 acres of habitat restored, the project opened up access to 119 miles of stream. Accomplished acres are split between the two OHF appropriations proportional to funds contributed. -Middle Branch Whitewater River: Construction began on this project in September of 2016. At that time, the new channel and floodplain were shaped prior to the end of the construction season. However, this project has run into issues with design that have prevented its completion to date. An outside consultant has been hired by DNR to provide a final design, with a new construction period in the summer of 2019 to complete the project. DNR received approval for an amendment that added this project to our ML2015 Aquatic Habitat appropriation, which will be used to pay for the remaining design and construction of this project. -Aquatic Management Area enhancement: Enhancement work on 39 different AMAs such as prescribed burns, riparian plantings, and invasive species control were done on 1440 acres of habitat. Locations were in all four LSOHC planning regions. This work was made possible by the four AMA habitat positions funded by this appropriation. AMA staff assessed habitat needs at 106 AMAs, and developed management guidance that identifies enhancement needs for those parcels. In addition to the 39 projects done using this appropriation, AMA staff were involved with 106 other Outdoor Heritage-funded AMA enhancement projects, and provided guidance for 23 similar projects being lead by external partners who were using OHF money. -Stream Habitat Specialist positions: Two specialists were hired to coordinate statewide stream habitat worked that was funded by OHF. These positions were responsible for both DNR projects, and assisting partner organizations with their projects. These positions upped the capacity for DNR to undertake multiple larger stream habitat projects, and to increase the quality of projects being done by partners. During the life of this appropriation, specialists participated in the design and construction oversight of 23 DNR stream projects, and provided assistance to over a dozen local partners on over 50 stream habitat projects funded by various OHF appropriations.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brian,Nerbonne,"Mn Dept of Natural Resources","500 Lafayette Road ","Saint Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5205,brian.nerbonne@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Cass, Chippewa, Clay, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Fillmore, Hubbard, Itasca, Jackson, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Martin, Meeker, Morrison, Otter Tail, Polk, Renville, Rice, Rock, St. Louis, Wabasha, Winona","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-aquatic-habitat-phase-v,,,,

The prescribed burn on Benderberg WMA triggered an excellent response in the native wet prairie remnant.  It was largely an after-thought at this was former pasture, but the presence of fire really benefitted the native plant community.  There was even some hand- harvest opportunity for species like wood lily.  Without the roving crew and the MarshTracker, an Rx burn on this site would not have been possible.  This was the first time much of this ground had seen a fire in over 4 decades.  The plan is to periodically maintain this WMA with fire going forward and to maintain/enhance the wet prairie community that so wonderfully responded to it the first time around. These funds were used to complete more than 50 acres of woody control projects on the Lake Bronson and Two Rivers Aspen Parkland Scientific and Natural Areas.  These projects were part of an ongoing multi-year strategy to combat the encroachment of woody vegetation into high quality native prairies.  In addition to setting back encroaching willows and aspen, the Lake Bronson SNA project appeared to have positive impacts on the sites population of western prairie fringed orchids (a Federally threatened species) as the second highest number of orchids ever recorded on the site were counted the spring following the project.   One untold stories is the cooperation between conservation agencies and NGOs in Minnesota.  In some states, feds don’t like the state, and the NGOs fight among themselves.  In Minnesota, we all get along really well.  This is evidenced in partnership efforts that developed the Prairie Plan and Pheasant Plan.  One early fear with OHF is that this would cause these groups to start bickering over the resource.  In fact, the exact opposite has happened.  It has pulled us together and increased cooperation.  One example of that is our collective seed harvest and grassland restoration efforts.  In at least two areas, most notably Detroit Lakes and the Glacial Lakes area, multiple agencies/NGOs are coordinating their seed harvest and restoration efforts.    Partners are looking 1 to 3 years ahead on restoration efforts.  Seed production is best on burned sites.  Partners are determining what units and what soil types they want to restore each year.  Then they find native tracts or high diversity restorations with similar soil types.  These sites are prioritized for burning in the spring.   Once the site is burned, partners again work together to harvest and store the seed in the fall.  The seed is then distributed to the DNR, USFWS, TNC or other partners.  The seed is spread on the sites in the late winter or early spring.  In some cases, agency/NGO staff are harvesting the seed.  In other cases, they work with local contractors to harvest the seed.   Harvesting local seed is both cost-effective and when harvesting native tracts ensures we, collectively, are using a diverse mix of local ecotype seed.   Again, the OHF has helped developed new partnerships and projects that would not have happened or that would have happened at a much smaller scale with these critical funds.   Because this is a programmatic appropriation, it’s difficult to assign a dollar amount to a specific project.  Because of this and the large number of projects, we simply assigned dollars to projects proportional to acres completed in that project.  In the same way, we proportionally assigned dollars to personnel based on FTEs.     ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Hoch,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Road ","St Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5230,greg.hoch@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue, Grant, Houston, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Marshall, Martin, Nobles, Norman, Otter Tail, Polk, Pope, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Roseau, Sibley, Stevens, Swift, Traverse, Wabasha, Winona, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-grassland-phase-5,,,,

We were successful in completing our proposed projects, and in meeting may of the goals included in our accomplishment plan. The different projects accomplished from this appropriation are summarized below.Habitat protection was accomplished using a mixture of fee title and easement acquisition. For easements we purchased 11 parcels on trout streams located on either the North Shore or in southeast Minnesota. Easements will protect 5.3 miles of stream and 94 acres of habitat. Fee title acquisition protected 5 parcels of lakeshore, including one parcel that was purchased with funds from both ML2011 and ML2012 funding. Acreage and shoreline feet protected have been pro-rated between appropriations based in their respective contribution to the purchase price. A total of 2.6 miles of shoreline and 58 acres of habitat are protected by these parcels. The amount of habitat protected in easement and fee title falls short of our proposed outcomes for this appropriation. Because land values vary across the state it is difficult to anticipate how much habitat can be protected for a given amount of money. It is also hard to anticipate the amount of landowner donation we will receive. We were successful in leveraging an additional $1.3 million toward protection work from a mixture of sources, including landowner donation.The Mille Lacs Lake shoreland enhancement involved the removal of breakwall from a former marina that is now a DNR Aquatic Management Area. Breakwall was removed along 455 feet of shore and returned to a natural shoreline, with native riparian vegetation planted in all areas. This habitat will benefit fish species using the nearshore area of the lake as well as other wildlife such as birds, reptiles and amphibians that use a mixture of nearshore and riparian habitat.The Kingsbury Creek stream restoration project removed masonry walls that had been built along the banks through that reach and were limiting habitat. The project also included constructed a new stream channel through a reach that had previously been impounded by a dam. The stream channel was resized to appropriate dimensions, and habitat structures such as toe wood, rootwads, and cross vanes were installed. The project will benefit resident brook trout as well as steelhead that spawn and rear juveniles in Kingsbury Creek.A fish passage project at Shell Lake converted a dam into an arch-rapids, allowing fish to migrate in and out of the lake freely. Fish passage is especially important at Shell Lake, which is subject to occasional partial winter-kills. Recolonization from the Shell River will help the lake to recover from these events. This project was added to our original accomplishment plan and completed using surplus funds realized due to cost savings from other projects.A second stream habitat enhancement project was done using surplus funds. This one was located on the Pomme de Terre River, where a riffle and adjoining streambank was enhanced to provide better habitat in a former reservoir where the dam had been removed several years previous.Backwater habitat on the Mississippi River within Weaver Bottoms was enhanced to create critical backwater habitat that had been lost due to decades of sedimentation. The deepwater habitat is critical for many fish species such as bluegill and black crappie that over-winter there. The nine acres of newly enhanced habitat has shown high use by Mississippi River fish, and anglers have taken notice and are using the area as well.This appropriation funded a portion (along with the DNR's ML2013 Aquatic Habitat) of the restoration of the Middle Fork of the Zumbro River through a former impoundment known as Lake Shady.

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

This appropriation funded five stream projects, several of which involved external partners. Individual project details are outlined below. - Sand Hill River Fish Passage Project: This project partnered with the Sand Hill River Watershed District and Army Corps of Engineers to restore fish passage on the Sand Hill River. The in channel portion of the project was essentially completed in 2017. Initial fish surveys have already documented restored fish passage upstream of the modified dams. Both this grant and an ML 2015 grant to the Sand Hill River Watershed District contributed to the local share of this project and were matched 3:1 by federal funds. Credits for habitat benefits were divided up between the two grants based on overall contribution to the project. - Knutson Dam fish passage- Construction of the project was finished in the spring of 2016. The dam, at the outlet of Cass Lake in Beltrami County, was modified into a rapids to allow fish movement upstream from the Mississippi River. This will allow free movement between habitats in the lakes upstream and the river downstream, facilitating access for fish to key habitats such those used for spawning. The project was done in conjunction with the US Forest Service, who owns the dam. The initial LSOHC grant spurred multiple other parties to invest in the project, totaling $660,000 in match. Partners included the US Forest Service, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Upper Mississippi Headwater Restoration Fund, Chippewa Stewardship Fund, Otter Tail Wetland Mitigation, and Otter Tail Transmission Line Tribal Gathering Mitigation. - Long Lake fish passage- We worked with Itasca County to modify a small dam at the outlet to Long Lake into a rapids in January, 2016 in order to facilitate fish passage. - Straight River habitat enhancement: Several DNR divisions teamed up to improve aquatic habitat by installing 32 new tree structures on the Straight River, one of Minnesota’s premier trophy brown trout streams. DNR fisheries staff selected three sections of the river to place the structures to address an over-wide stream channel with little cover for fish. Due to the inaccessibility of this reach of stream for heavy equipment due to surrounding wetlands, a helicopter was used to lower about 150 trees into position to create the structures. A total of 4,180 feet of stream was enhanced by this project. - South Branch Root River: This project was funded by the ML2013 and ML2014 DNR Aquatic Habitat appropriation. A 450 foot reach of the river was experiencing severe erosion, with the streambank losing over 10 feet per year. A riffle was constructed at the upstream end of the reach to direct flow, and a bankfull bench was constructed along the eroding bank using toe wood to enhance stability and fish habitat. The bench was vegetated with a native seed mix and willow live stakes. Construction was completed in August of 2018. - AMA Enhancement: This appropriation includes funding for personnel tasked with assessing habitat needs on Aquatic Management Areas (AMAs), writing management guidance documents that outline projects, and overseeing project implementation. AMA Specialists completed nine new site assessments, bringing the total number of AMAs assessed since June 2014 to 138. To date, 109 Management Guidance Documents have been completed.

","   ","Stream projects were prioritized based on the DNR's Stream habitat Priority List, where projects were ranked based on a number of criteria surrounding support and outcomes. This appropriation funded five stream projects, several of which involved external partners. Individual project details are outlined below. Stewart River Restoration: The Stewart River channel restoration project used Natural Channel Design to restore 4,500 of premier trout stream in Northeastern Minnesota. Historic logging and a berm located in the floodplain had significantly impacted the stream. The project was designed and implemented to create trout habitat including deep pools, overhead cover and abundant spawning gravels. The project also removed the confines of the berm and reconnected the stream with the floodplain. A 100 year flood affected the project just a few years after implementation. Some damage was caused, but the objectives of the projects were still met once repairs were made in 2019 using DNR FAW funding. Mission Creek Restoration: DNR partnered with South St. Louis SWCD to compete this project on Mission Creek. The Mission Creek channel restoration project restored 3150 feet of stream near Duluth, Minnesota. This stream was historically altered and had an in-stream trash rack which affected fish passage and the stability of the stream. The 2012 flood caused the stream to blowout around the trash rack resulting in a highly aggraded and unstable stream. The trash rack was removed and the dimension, pattern and profile of the stream was restored. Additionally, 8.4 miles of the stream was reconnected with the removal of the trash rack. During design, a historic native burial site was discovered just downstream of the project site. This slowed down design as we needed to sort through the risks to artifacts and find a tribal inspector to be onsite during construction. In the end we were able to do the project with oversight from the tribe. No artifacts were discovered during construction. Construction finished in June of 2020. North Branch of Whitewater River Restoration: This channel restoration project took place within Whitewater State Park in a location that previously had riprap installed on the bank for stabilization. This riprap failed at least two times so a stream restoration was implemented to better address the issues causing the bank erosion. The project utilized toe-wood sodmat to protect the bank and reshaped the channel dimension, pattern and profile based on a nearby stable reference reach. During construction it was found that the bed and bank material were particularly difficult for toe-wood sodmat installation. A unique technique using a trenching bucket was employed to get the toe-wood sod mat installed correctly. Another impact of the bed and bank materials was that it was difficult to get vegetation established. This project had to have additional work done after the original construction was finished. Due to lack of vegetation, a large flood and being in a flashy watershed, some of the stream features were impacted after the flood. Following the damages, the natural pattern that the river laid out was utilized to improve the overall project. The project was replanted with additional straw protection. Since the adjustments were made, the project has been stable and the vegetation is getting established. Cottonwood River Restoration: DNR partnered with Redwood County to complete this restoration. 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 anglers 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. The COVID- 19 pandemic significantly limited the ability of Department staff to provide construction oversight which 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. Driftless Area Habitat Enhancement: The DNR's Fisheries Construction crew used this appropriation to purchase rock and equipment rental to enhance 15 acres of stream habitat in the Driftless Area of Minnesota. Shoreline protection accomplished with this appropriation consisted of two fee-title acquisitions, nine trout stream easement acquisitions, and three Forest for the Future conservation easements. The two fee-title acquisitions protected 52 acres and 4,825 feet of undeveloped shoreline . All nine trout stream easement acquisitions were in the SE Forest Ecological Section. Two easement acquisitions were initiated in the Northern Forest Section, but neither was successfully concluded. The nine trout stream easements protect a total of 132 acres and 31,150 feet of stream. The Forest for the Future project prioritized protecting forests in high priority cisco lake watersheds. With this project, one 32 acre easement was purchased in the Kabekona watershed (Hubbard County), 122 acres in the Ten Mile lake watershed (Cass County), and 193 acres in the Pelican watershed in Crow Wing County. Two large easement acquisitions were not completed when the landowners chose not to accept the DNR offer. These acquisitions were scheduled to be completed close to the end of the appropriation availability and we did not have enough time to move on to other parcels. Therefore, we did not meet goals for easement acquisition and funds were returned to the Council.

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.

An estimated 90% of Minnesota's prairie wetlands have been lost and more than 50% of our statewide wetlands. In the wetlands that remain, benefits are often compromised by degraded quality. This proposal will accomplish wetland habitat work throughout Minnesota, with a focus on the prairie region. Shallow Lake / Wetland Enhancement Restoration - This proposal seeks to engineer and construct wetland infrastructure, such as dikes and water control structures, and to implement management techniques such as wetland restoration, water-level manipulation and sediment removal. The shallow lake and wetland projects identified on the parcel list were proposed and reviewed by DNR Area and Regional supervisors. Projects include engineering feasibility and design work, replacement/renovation of wetland infrastructure to bring about habitat enhancement, wetland restorations, and direct wetland management activities. Two projects will provide restoration work, both in the prairie region. Another 3 projects will use funding for surveys and engineering to prepare for future implementation of wetland enhancement projects. Funding will be used to continue efforts to spray dense stands of monotypic hybrid cattails. 4,600 acres will be treated over two field seasons on parcels that will be identified by wildlife staff and listed in the Final Report. OHF funds will be used to expand wild rice enhancement activities which are extremely valuable to waterfowl and other wetland wildlife. Funding will be targeted to wild rice enhancement work such as seeding and channel cleanouts to manage water-levels. DNR will collaborate with tribal biologists to identify, plan and initiate wild rice enhancement projects. One project will be undertaken to perform a drawdown through pumping. Wetland Project Management - Numerous plans pertaining to wetlands/shallow lakes call for an increase and acceleration of wetland management activities for wildlife. The Minnesota Duck Action Plan notes the need to expand the Wetland Management Program (WMP) in Minnesota. The WMP assesses wetlands and initiates management to produce quality wetland habitat. It is conservatively estimated that each Natural Resource Specialist working in the WMP will impact 1,125 acres of small wetlands over the life of an appropriation. With the addition of two additional wetland management specialists planned for summer 2021, bringing total number to four, the quantity of projects initiated by these specialists has presented a challenge for DNR engineering and business office functions. It is recommended that a project manager be hired to address this workload and expand capacity. The project manager would oversee implementation of complex wetland and shallow lakes infrastructure projects, acting as a focal point between field biologists, engineers, and business office staff. The parcel list may be modified as needed by the program manager. The Final Report must reflect an accurate and complete parcel list.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) will complete nine fish passage projects to restore habitat connectivity for fish and other aquatic life, and restore reaches of five different rivers, creating nine miles of diverse aquatic habitat. Though the actual footprint of fish passage projects is relatively small, these projects will reconnect over 10,000 acres of lake and river habitat. Aquatic habitat projects were selected from a statewide list, prioritized by factors such as ecological benefit, scale of impact, urgency of completion, and local support.","The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) annually updates a statewide list of stream habitat projects. Project proposals come both from MNDNR staff and from partner organizations. Projects are prioritized based on scale-of-impact, urgency, local support, and critical habitat for rare species. Based on this list, MNDNR and our partners are proposing nine fish passage projects and four channel restorations, leveraging a confirmed $4,016,000 from a variety of federal, state, and local sources. Access to diverse habitats is critical for fish and other aquatic organisms to complete various life stages. The habitats they use at different life stages may all vary widely. These habitats can be fairly unique, such as high-gradient riffles favored by many spawning fish, and may be miles apart. When dams or other obstructions prevent aquatic life from reaching ideal habitat, they are forced to use less optimal locations that can reduce their success. In some cases this leads to the complete loss of sensitive species upstream of a barrier. Research by MNDNR River Ecologist Luther Aadland found that on average, species richness declined by 37% upstream of near complete barriers to fish passage. Subsequent removal of 11 barriers in this study resulted in upstream recolonization of an average of 66% of the species that had been absent. Modifying or removing the barriers through our nine proposed fish passage projects would have a total footprint of 9 acres, but create upstream access to over 10,000 acres of lake and river habitat. Restoring fish passage will benefit fish such as Walleye and Brook Trout present in these rivers, as well as five mussel species classified as threatened or special concern. Restoring connectivity also expands fishing opportunities by acting as a conduit for recolonization following catastrophic events such as drought that may happen in one portion of a watershed. Meandering rivers and streams naturally form diverse habitat. Deeper, slower habitat is created by scour into the bed of the river around the outside of bends, while faster water and a rockier bottom is found in the straight sections in between. Wood, overhanging vegetation, and boulders serve as cover and current breaks for fish. In degraded sections of river, these natural processes are disrupted. Some reaches have been artificially straightened, preventing the meandering that forms diverse habitat. In other places, streams have become surrounded by tall banks that prevent high flows from spilling out onto a floodplain. When floods are trapped within the stream channel, the river erodes the banks. This not only mobilizes tons of sediment that degrades downstream habitat, but results in a wide, shallow channel during low-flow periods that is avoided by adult fish. Channel restoration projects will utilize reference locations with high-quality habitat to improve habitat. Working with partners, we will restore and enhance 8.1 miles of habitat on five streams.",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Dean,Paron,"Minnesota DNR","525 Lake Ave South Suite 415 ",Duluth,MN,55802,651-259-5205,dean.paron@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Clay, Clearwater, Le Sueur, Nicollet, Otter Tail, Roseau, St. Louis","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-aquatic-habitat-restoration-and-enhancement-phase-5,,,,

These additional habitat enhancements improve the quality of the forests for both wildlife and outdoor recreation. DNR's Conservation Agenda, Wildlife Action, Forest Action, SNA Strategic Land Protection and SFRMP Plans, will guide habitat enhancements in this proposal to see that all activities meet these objectives.","Northern Minnesota's forest habitats include pines, maple and basswood, aspen, oak forests and savannas, as well as different age classes of forests. The region also includes rivers, lakes, sedge meadows, bogs, and brushland. Each of these habitats are home to a wide array with game and non-game species, and multiple Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). They provide outdoor recreation, timber products, and support local communities. They also clean and absorb water and sequester carbon. However, these forests face increasing stress from invasive species, climate change, forest loss, and fragmentation. While forest harvest is an important tool in management of our forests, we can do additional or different enhancements to maximize the diversity and productivity of these habitats for both wildlife and people. For example, timber harvest can create a wildlife opening. However other management such as periodic mowing is needed to maintain he opening. We will accomplish strategic and targeted enhancements through contractors to conduct activities which support healthy, diverse and resilient habitats. Activities may include 1) invasive species control, 2) firebreak development and maintenance as well as prescribed burns in fire-dependent forests, brushlands and wetlands, 3) maintaining wildlife openings 4) tree removal, girdling, brush mowing/shearing, 5) infrastructure for conservation grazing in openland and brushland habitats, 6) tree release, such as enhancing oak management for mast production, 7) forest regeneration site prep, 8) seed and acorn collection followed by broadcasting and/or drilling of seed, and 8) tree planting and protection to reforest and restore habitats, add conifer to the landscape, provide thermal cover, diversify forests, and address ash stand management.

The footprint of fish passage projects is small, but projects will reconnect over 290,000 acres of lake and river habitat. Stream projects were selected from a statewide list, prioritized by factors such as ecological benefit, scale of impact, urgency of completion, and local support.","The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) annually updates a statewide list of stream habitat projects. Submissions come both from MNDNR staff and from partner organizations. Projects are prioritized based on scale-of-impact, urgency, local support, and critical habitat for rare species. Based on this list, MNDNR and our partners are proposing six fish passage projects and eight channel restorations, leveraging over $712,000. Access to different habitats is critical for fish and other aquatic organisms to complete various life stages. The habitats they use to spawn, live as juveniles, over-winter, and feed as adults may all be different. These habitats can be fairly unique, such as high-gradient riffles favored by many spawning fish, and may be miles apart. When dams or other obstructions prevent aquatic life from reaching ideal habitat, they are forced to use less optimal locations that can reduce their success. In some cases this leads to the complete loss of sensitive species upstream of a barrier. Modifying or removing the barriers through our six proposed fish passage projects would have a footprint of 6 acres, but create upstream access to over 290,000 acres of lake and river habitat. This will benefit fish such as Walleye, Northern Pike, and Brook Trout present in these rivers, as well as five mussel species classified as threatened or special concern. Streams naturally form habitat through the meandering of the river. Deeper, slower habitat is created by scour into the bed of the river around the outside of bends, while faster water and a rockier bottom is found in the straight sections in between. Wood, overhanging vegetation, and boulders serve as cover and current breaks for fish. In degraded sections of river, these natural processes are disrupted. Some reaches have been artificially straightened, preventing the meandering that forms diverse habitat. In other places, streams have become surrounded by tall banks that prevent high flows from spilling out onto a floodplain. When floods are trapped within the stream channel, the river erodes the banks. This not only mobilizes tons of sediment that degrades downstream habitat, but results in a wide, shallow channel during low-flow periods that is avoided by adult fish. Channel restoration projects will address these issues by using Natural Channel Design methods, which bases design on a reference location with high-quality habitat. Working with partners, we will restore over 17 miles of habitat on eight streams. These restored reaches also will connect upstream and downstream reaches of quality habitat. We propose to enhance 224 acres of riparian habitat and associated uplands on 33 Aquatic Management Areas (AMA). The DNR manages these lands to protect critical shoreline habitat used by spawning fish, waterfowl, wading birds, reptiles and amphibians. Uplands in these parcels provide a buffer to protect water quality, and habitat for more terrestrial species.

In the prairies and western prairie pothole wetlands, they focus on prescribed burns, tree removal, grassland restorations, removal of old fencing, installing fenceposts for conservation grazing. In wetlands the focus is on wild rice collection and seeding, water control structure repair, wetland restorations with earth moving equipment, invasive species control, cattail spraying, and sediment removal. Forest projects include prescribed burns in fire-dependent forests and brushlands; seed harvesting and planting, seedling planting, protection, and/or release of species such as oak and winter cover such as conifer; mowing and shearing of brushlands; maintenance of wildlife openings; and control of invasive species. While forest harvest is a valuable tool for many types of forest habitat enhancement, there are some habitat enhancements that harvests don't do or enhancements that can be done post-harvest to quickly improve habitat quality for wildlife. This can be especially true for practices such as shearing brushlands, where there isn't a strong economic incentive but numerous species of wildlife require these habitats for all or some stages of life. Prescribed fire can be used more to stimulate oak/acorn production for wildlife and improve pine forests as well as set back invasives.

The dollar value of trout stream conservation easements is set by formula described in M.S.84.0272 subd. 2. The formula uses the length of stream being placed under easement and the area of the easement footprint. The length of the stream easement in feet (length is measured in GIS from a current aerial photo) is multiplied by $5 per foot. The area of the easement foot print is also measured in GIS. The area in acres is multiplied by the average per acre estimated market value of Agricultural, Rural Vacant, and Managed Forest Land within the township where the easement lies. Estimated market value and total acres by land type for every township in the state are supplied by the Department of Revenue and revised annually. So, easement price is calculated as (feet of stream under easement x $5) + (acres of easement foot print x average market value/acre within that township). Scoring and ranking candidate parcels for trout stream conservation easement acquisition is based on multiple criteria. Criteria include fishery quality, rare natural features and other ecological attributes, potential to link with existing easements to increase protected corridors, and the need for access to conduct habitat restoration and enhancement projects with potential to improve the fishery.

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

DNR's Conservation Agenda, Wildlife Action Plan, Forest Action Plan, SNA Strategic Land Protection, Fish Habitat Plan, will guide habitat enhancements in this proposal to meet the objectives put forth in these plans.","Minnesota's forest habitats include many different native plant communities in different growth stages. Forests also includes rivers, lakes, sedge meadows, bogs, and brushland. Each of these habitats are home to a wide array with game and non-game species, including multiple Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Forests provide outdoor recreation, timber products, and support local communities. Forests protect water quality and sequester carbon. However, forests face increasing stress from invasive species, climate change, critical habitat loss, forest conversion, and fragmentation. While timber harvest is an important tool providing habitats in the forest, additional or different enhancements are needed to maximize the diversity for fish and wildlife. For example timber harvest can create a wildlife opening, however other management such as periodic mowing is needed to maintain the opening. We will accomplish strategic and targeted enhancements through contractors to conduct activities which support healthy, diverse and resilient habitats. Activities may include: 1) control invasive species 2) assist with oak regeneration through seeding and tree planting 3) firebreak development and maintenance as well as prescribed burns in fire-dependent forests, brushlands and wetlands 4) remove trees, mow and shear brush 5) maintain/restore open lands and brushland habitats 6) regenerate forests through site preparation, seed procurement/harvest, seeding, and planting 7) plant trees to reforest and restore habitats, add conifer to the landscape, provide thermal cover, diversify forests, and address ash stand management 8) restore floodplain and savanna forest habitat with tree planting, burning and mowing DNR managers collaborate with other State, Federal, County agencies and many conservation organizations to take a landscape view of forests and manage across administrative units.

Most lands enhanced with these funds are public and open to hunting.","In many farmland counties less than five percent of the area is in public wildlife lands, often much less. We continue to lose about 200 acres of native prairie per year.

As such, we need to make sure the remaining grasslands, especially those open to public recreation are as diverse and productive as possible. These lands provide wildlife habitat as well as pollinator habitat and ecosystem services such as floodwater capture and groundwater recharge. Wildlife and pollinator populations are a fraction of what they were even a couple decades ago. Water quality, especially nitrate contamination, is a human health and wildlife issue. Restoring and enhancing grasslands are one of the most effective ways to improve all of these issues. Grasslands and embedded wetlands are also very good at sequestering and storing carbon, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. These efforts can be an important part of the state's Climate Action Framework. Grassland and wetland restoration and enhancement, carefully guided by planning, is one of the best ways to address many of these issues. This programmatic request seeks funding to enhance grassland habitat on permanently protected grasslands and prairies, most of which are open to public hunting.

By restoring geomorphic stability of the stream and reconnecting the river with the floodplain, this project enhanced riparian corridors and buffers, improved fish habitat and passage, addressed and reduced bed/bank erosion, and improved water quality. Stony Creek Stream Restoration. The primary purpose of this project was to improve the ecology of the river system by restoring 24,816 feet of a ditched stream to a stable and functioning channel. The project established a natural channel profile, reconnected the stream to the floodplain, and improved riparian habitat by establishing a 340 ft wide vegetated riparian buffer.

To address this risk in the region, there needs to be an increase in the use of nitrogen best management practices and agronomic rates of nitrogen need to be fine-tuned to balance production with environmental degradation. In addition, potential point sources of nutrient contamination in groundwater need to be addressed wherever possible. This project will have three components that will address these needs. 1) This project will fund incentive payments for the use of nitrogen Best Management Practices (BMPs). Use of the University of Minnesota's BMPs for nitrogen fertilizer in the region is known to reduce the risk of nitrogen escaping the soils and into the drinking water supply of the area. Incentive payments will be given to promote the adoption of the University of Minnesota nitrogen rates to meet crop needs and for the use of split nitrogen applications at University of Minnesota rates. 2) This project will fund replicated on-farm nitrogen plots. These plots could be a nitrogen rate, timing, source or placement plot. These advanced plots provide producers with much needed local nitrogen fertilizer information that is connected to soil types and crop uptake needs in Southeastern Minnesota. These plots would be used to support the recommendations from the University of Minnesota and continue to show that the U of MN nitrogen recommended BMPs remain the most profitable for this area of Minnesota. 3) This project will use cost share funding for local well sealing. It is well known that unsealed wells are a direct conduit for contamination of groundwater. Availability of funding via cost share helps to assist landowners with the financial burden associated with the proper care and sealing of open wells on their properties.

Of particular concern is the impact EAB will have on the ecology and functioning of black ash swamps, which cover over one million acres in Minnesota and represent the state’s most common ash forest type. Black ash trees grow and thrive in swamps and occupy a unique wet niche where few other tree species grow. As a result, EAB impacts on black ash swamps will likely be extreme, resulting in dramatic changes in native plant communities and increasing the potential for invasion by exotic plant species. This project will increase our understanding of the ecological and hydrological impacts of EAB through the establishment of a network of research sites in black ash forests in Minnesota. Treatments simulating EAB-induced ash mortality will be implemented at each site to characterize how the loss of ash from these systems will impact native plant communities, the spread of invasive species, and site hydrology. In addition, the survival and growth of a mixture of planted tree seedlings will be evaluated to determine what species might be able to mitigate the ecological impacts of the loss of black ash from these forests.

We believe that you should have confidence that we can execute this project because we have twenty years of experience and musical partnership doing this very thing everyday, and we love doing it. For proof, you can review our extensive track record of completed projects. We'll measure our goals by working on our music everyday, by remaining completely focused on our art, by focusing on quality, by sharing the song and music video we create on every internet medium possible, and by welcoming folks to give us feedback. We'll also ask for feedback from musician friends whose judgment we trust. We'll know if we've been successful by how people react to our new music when we release it.","We addressed the artistic goals proposed in our project by working very hard everyday to write and record a new song and to film a new music video to accompany that song, doing our best to make sure our work is worthy of releasing to the public during these pandemic times.

The Center for Energy and Environment (CEE), a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization, is using this appropriation to develop and implement innovative residential energy efficiency programs. Programs will be demonstrated in eight cities: Apple Valley, Austin, Duluth, Minneapolis, Owatonna, Park Rapids, Rochester, and St. Paul. Homeowners in these cities will have the opportunity to be trained in low-cost energy conservation strategies and selected homeowners will qualify for customized energy action plans, in-home visits by technicians, and assistance with major upgrades, such as insulation and replacement of heating and air conditioning systems. Additionally the project will provide training for people to work as residential energy efficiency improvement contractors resulting in the creation of new entry level jobs. CEE hopes to significantly reduce energy use in at least 6000 homes by the conclusion of the project and to develop programs that will ultimately benefit many more. Overall Project Outcome and Results The Energy Efficient Cities project was developed to demonstrate innovative residential energy efficiency program delivery to reduce energy use and environmental impact in at least 6,000 homes through a community-wide partnership approach. With strong and crucial support from local gas and electric utilities, city-specific programs were developed in a total of 8 cities: Apple Valley, Austin, Duluth, Minneapolis, Owatonna, Park Rapids, Rochester, and St. Paul. While each city developed a customized approach, each program was designed to provide a ""one-stop shop"" comprehensive whole-house approach that makes taking energy efficiency actions as easy as possible for the homeowner, while maximizing participation and energy savings opportunities. This comprehensive approach involved the following components shared by each program: Community-based marketing strategies to recruit participants to workshops and for training participants to take low-cost energy actions; Home energy visits that include installation of low-cost materials and identify other energy-saving opportunities; Energy usage feedback reports to encourage individual energy-saving actions; Follow-up assistance, including providing cost-share, for completion of major efficiency upgrades including insulation, air sealing and major mechanicals replacement; and Training and quality control for insulation and air sealing contractors.   The project exceeded its original goals for participation, with 8,243 people attending workshops, 6,922 of those households completing a home energy visit, and 1,474 homes completing major energy efficiency upgrades. Over 36 contractors were trained in high performance installation techniques for insulation and air sealing jobs. The upgrades completed under this program generated $4.8 million in work for Minnesota's insulation and heating contractors. The total energy savings from measures installed in these homes will result in an estimated $13.8 million dollars in energy savings for the homeowners over the life of the measures. The programs will be continued in at least 5 of the participating cities. Project Results Use and Dissemination Dissemination of information to homeowners was an integral part of the program. Our outreach activities for the program reached tens of thousands of Minnesotans, resulting in over 7,500 households attending a workshop that was produced by the project. The workshops educated people on basic energy conservation concepts and strategies, such as how a home loses energy, low-cost or no-cost methods for reducing energy, and what the process is for doing major energy efficiency upgrades in your home. The ""Home Energy Resource Minnesota"" website was also designed for education and outreach on energy efficiency issues. In addition, each city program had an on-line presence for dissemination of information about the program. In addition to outreach targeted to homeowners as part of program activities, efforts were made to communicate to utilities, cities and other potential program sponsors of energy efficiency programs the Energy Efficient Cities program results, and increase uptake of similar residential programs. A presentation was given in August 2010 at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy's (ACEEE) Summer Study on Buildings in Pacific Grove, California. Based on interest at that conference, another webinar presentation on the program was given as part of a series sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and attended by over 500 participants. A second webinar presentation was conducted for a national network of local government officials organized by the Institute for Sustainable Communities. A presentation was also conducted for the Clean Energy Teams (CERTs) conference in February 2011. Both Minneapolis's and St. Paul's programs were featured in a national study of retrofit programs by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab entitled ""Driving Demand for Home Energy Improvements."" As a result of the initial program success, programs in Minneapolis, Duluth, Owatonna, Rochester and Austin will continue beyond the grant period, funded by utilities and other sources. Finally, a report was completed to document the project and communicate lessons learned to utilities and other potential program sponsors. The report will be disseminated to Minnesota utilities, and presentations will be scheduled with interested parties. A presentation has been scheduled for October in Owatonna for the Midwest chapter of the Association of Energy Service Professionals.

Projects were then ranked based on priorities including, T&E species, Conservation Plan Focus Areas (e.g. the MN Prairie Plan), size of the complex area, water quality benefits, and overall cost to complete. Once projects were selected for funding, Pheasants Forever restoration staff worked closely with area managers in order to develop restoration/enhancement plans. Once those plans were developed they were written into a statement of work that was sent to numerous contractors in order to solicit competitive bids following PF's procurement policy. Once a contractor has been awarded the contract, PF and agency staff monitored the restoration/enhancement work to ensure it was completed adequately. Pheasants Forever had proposed to enhance 7,800 acres of uplands and restore 45 acres of wetlands. We did fall short of our upland goal by enhancing 7,275 acres, as we gave priority to wetland restoration projects. This, however, caused us to far exceed our goal and restore 952 wetland acres, thus over-achieving our total acre goal by 382 acres. Additionally, due to the value of these wetland restoration projects, PF was able to bring more than $156,000 of federal match, specifically from the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, to this proposal. There were no significant issues that occurred during the proposal period. As with any work of this kind we anticipated there would be challenges due to weather, contractor difficulties, agency staff changes, etc. but by working closely with our partners we were able to be very successful on our delivery of this important wildlife habitat work.

This will be accomplished by (1) the purchase of the adjacent 743 acres of the Carp Swamp WMA in Lake of the Woods County to be transferred to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR), and (2) contracting enhancement activities on permanently protected lands open to hunting in sharptail priority areas. The protection of the 743-acre property adjacent to the Carp Swamp WMA has been identified by local MN DNR Wildlife staff, Minnesota Sharp-tailed Grouse Society (SGS), and Pheasants Forever (PF) as a priority. This property has two leks: one that hosts 5-10 birds, and the other hosting 15-20 birds. By protecting this property in fee and enhancing the current grass-brushland habitats, this area will be able to support the current local sharptail population and increase the overall landscape's ability to support population growth.

Upon project selection, we will submit a parcel list amendment for approval. In addition, we're working with the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe in priority areas that are adjacent to Tribal lands managed for the same purpose. Activities to enhance these habitats include brush mowing/shearing, tree removal, diversity seeding, conservation grazing, and prescribed fire. These activities will be used in combination where appropriate to create the heterogeneous landscape that sharptails require. Prescribed fire is the primary tool used to create early successional habitat. In areas where this fire is not appropriate or logistically infeasible, brush mowing or shearing of small-diameter brush and trees will be performed. Trees too large to mow or unaffected by fire will be removed. Any tree removal will be done in areas where timber is unmarketable and most of the species being harvested are of no value. Grasslands will be restored by preparing the site using a combination of prescribed fire, cultivation, or herbicide application. We will work with local land managers to develop and plant high-diversity native seed mixes that provide ideal foraging, nesting, and brood-rearing cover for sharptails. Maintenance mowing will be used to suppress annual weeds and ensure the establishment of desirable species. Conservation grazing allows land managers to maintain grasslands in the absence of prescribed fire and target undesirable species by altering the timing and intensity.

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

Lack of disturbance on native and restored prairies has resulted in degraded habitats characterized by low plant diversity, presence of non-native or invasive species, and the spread of voluntary trees into open prairie. Wetlands embedded in these grasslands require restoration to achieve their fullest functionality, or have structures that need repair. The Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (MPCP) identifies restoration and enhancement as two strategies to combat these issues. In accordance with this plan, Pheasants Forever has created the Enhanced Public Lands - Grasslands program to restore and enhance grassland and wetland habitats on existing WMAs, WPAs, and NWRs (many of which were purchased in sub-optimal conditions) in the prairie, forest/prairie transition, and metro regions. Pheasants Forever will utilize a previously developed Request for Proposals (RFP) and process to evaluate projects submitted by agency partners.

We will add the question about the look of the stage to our on-site survey. 3) Add two 50-amp service to the electrical board in the park to add another food vendor or provide a larger beer station.

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

Conservation easement properties will protect fish habitat to ensure high quality fishing opportunities. Greater public access for wildlife and outdoors-related recreation will be attained through fee-title acquisition of properties to be conveyed to either a County or DNR Forestry and managed consistent with the public entity's land management practices",,,351300,"Landowner, Lake Associations, Local Stakeholders and Landowners",4434300,101700,,0.94,"NWLT; MLT","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Northern Waters Land Trust (NWLT) and Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) will protect critical fish habitat within 48 tullibee ""refuge"" lakes and their minor watersheds by securing conservation easements and fee title acquisitions. These efforts are prioritized toward the 23 highest priority tullibee refuge lakes. Through this Fisheries Habitat Protection program, NWLT and MLT are working to protect 75% of each targeted watershed, a measure that provides a high probability of maintaining clean water and healthy lake ecosystems. We will permanently protect approximately 750 acres and 6,900 feet of shoreline through this grant.","Sustaining a strong angling heritage in North Central Minnesota (along with the local economy it drives) revolves around protecting fisheries habitat. Resurging shoreland development pressures and climate change are direct threats to the ecology of Minnesota's lakes. Fisheries research shows that healthy watersheds with intact forests are fundamental to sustaining good fish habitat over the long term; achieving a 75% lake watershed protection goal ensures a resilient and healthy lake ecosystem. Our protection efforts are focused on tullibee (aka cisco), a preferred forage fish of walleye, northern pike, muskellunge and lake trout. They require cold, well oxygenated waters, a condition most common in lakes with deep water and healthy watersheds. Minnesota DNR Fisheries researchers studied tullibee lakes and designated 68 lakes in Minnesota as ""refuge lakes"" for tullibee that need protection. Our four county area (Aitkin, Cass, Crow Wing, Hubbard) includes 48 of these tullibee refuges. We are prioritizing twenty-three of these lakes and their minor watersheds. Many are Minnesota's premier recreational lakes. The Clean Water Critical Habitat Technical Committee evaluated all tullibee lakes in our project area and prioritized 23 lakes and their minor watersheds for action. In assigning priorities, the committee considered: (1) ecological value of the lake, (2) percent of the minor watershed currently protected, (3) number of parcels in the watershed greater than 20 acres in size, (4) partner organizations available for advising on outreach efforts, and (5) investment by other agencies and organizations to protect lands and watersheds. The Clean Water Critical Habitat Technical Committee has also developed a scoring framework to evaluate specific parcels within these priority watersheds (Attachment A). This framework takes four factors into consideration: Program Requirements (at least 20 acres in size, within our service area, and on a refuge lake), Ecological Factors (size, quality/condition of the resource, and landscape context), Threat/Urgency (development or disturbance in the minor watershed and the risk classification from water plans), and Cost (cost of project and donative value). These factors are scored on a scale of 0-210, with the highest score indicating the greatest need for conservation action. These scored parcels are made available in a user friendly format on the online Clean Water Critical Habitat map. This map has directly resulted in the protection of numerous high priority parcels Due to the high level of interest in the program and its great success to date, we are applying for a Phase VIII of this effort. In this phase, we will protect 750 strategically important acres of land through conservation easements and fee title acquisitions. Program partners will include County Soil & Water Districts, MNDNR Fisheries, MLT and NWLT. This team will conduct outreach to potential landowners and help evaluate the projects to assure we are prioritizing those projects with the greatest conservation outcomes. In addition, to ensure the best conservation return on the state's investment, landowner willingness to donate a portion of the easement value will be a key component of the parcel's evaluation.

This program/project will directly protect approximately 187, 277 acres of forest and wetlands with permanent conservation easements and 1,344 acres with fee acquisition.","This proposal will protect nearly 190,000 acres of private forest through the use of working forest conservation easements and fee acquisition that will prevent forestland conversion and parcelization. The highest priority blocks of forest within Minnesota's forested subsections will be targeted for permanent protection. Acquisitions will prevent development, assure traditional public access for hunting and fishing, and allow for sustainable forest management. The sale of large timber company holdings in Minnesota is part of a national trend. These large blocks of forest provide critical connectivity with public conservation lands. Private and public forest lands interact to create a working forest across the landscape that provides essential benefits Minnesotans deeply care about. The vision of the MFF is to protect up to 530,000 acres of private forests over the next 25 years (see Minnesota Forests for the Future: Strategic Report. April 2008). The current request reflects an accelerated acquisition program over the next 3-4 years in order to take advantage of a short window of opportunity to protect some of the largest, remaining blocks of private forestland in the state. Projects funded under this program will protect forests, prevent forest fragmentation and encourage forest consolidation - outcomes consistent with Minnesota Statutes 97A.056. The state faces a major challenge today and in the future due to the thousands of acres of privately owned forest being sold across Minnesota. These forestland sales can impact the state's ability to sustain its forests for multiple public benefits including fish and wildlife habitat, public recreation, and forest products production. Forest conversion from development and parcelization can lead to forest fragmentation, or the creation of many small forest ""islands"" separated by nonforested areas. Forest conversion and fragmentation erodes the functioning of the remaining natural system, reducing the forest's resilience to disturbances such as windstorms, fire, climate change and invasive species. Conversion and fragmentation also endangers habitat for native wildlife species, especially for larger mammals such as bears and wolves, which require large tracts of undeveloped land. Additionally, development and parcelization is a threat to public access of forests. In cooperation with partners and stakeholders, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will identify and protect the most critical large blocks of forestland in Minnesota. Prioritized projects will: provide permanent protection to forests and associated habitats; continue traditional public access and uses including hunting and fishing; and allow for the sustainable harvest of timber and other forest products. This proposal can have a significant impact at a landscape scale due to the immediate opportunities presented by several high priority projects within the Laurentian Mixed Forest Province. Pre-acquisition activities including conservation easement negotiations and appraisals are either completed or underway on these key projects. Additional project identification, prioritization and protection will be completed during 2010 through 2013. This project/program has been recommended and supported by local governments including Itasca County. Specific conservation values protected by this project proposal include: significant forest resources that are intended to be used for commercial timber production and which are an important element of the local, state, and regional economy; ?economically and environmentally important private forestlands that are threatened by fragmentation, parcelization and conversion to non-forest uses; the adjacency of the Protected Property to numerous parcels of public lands under forest management where coordination of harvests and related activities is important for the management of public lands; and ?water features, including 30 miles of state-designated trout streams and 121 miles of other streams, 133 miles of lake and pond shoreline, and over 60,000 acres of wetlands, which features provide value to water quality, habitat for species and natural communities, and enhance the public?s recreational experience; significant cultural areas and native plant communities and wildlife species habitat as identified by the Minnesota Natural Heritage Program and other sources; native forests and natural ecosystems and unique geologic features including an intact esker; views of the Protected Property from 36 miles of publicly-recognized scenic roadways; the adjacency of the Protected Property to numerous parcels of public land thereby providing a buffer to the habitat and other values provided on said public parcels; the adjacency of the Protected Property to numerous public parcels of land which provides access to said public lands; 82 miles of snowmobile trails and 262 miles of off-highway vehicle routes including 32 miles of state-designated off-highway vehicle trails; Over 187,000 acres for the public for other, non-motorized uses including hunting, fishing, trapping, cross-country skiing, birdwatching, berry picking, hiking, snow shoeing; and A corridor established for hiking and cross-country skiing trails including the North Country National Scenic Trail, which trail has been recognized by the United States Congress and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as providing state and nationally significant scenic, recreational, historic, natural, and cultural qualities.

We also completed field monitoring at an additional 59 sites that were started in FY2014 sites in the Mississippi Headwaters Rum River Lake Superior South and Lake Superior North watersheds. We synthesized data for these sites and evaluated them for guideline compliance. We presented the information to various groups (see below). The final report will be done in February of 2016. In collaboration with the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Logger Education Program we conducted two workshops addressing erosion control on forest access roads and timber harvesting sites in fall/winter of 2014. We also made several presentations to disseminate Guideline Monitoring results including talking to land managers at the monitoring sites in an ongoing process providing feedback. We also helped develop a BMP field manual for loggers and land managers. We evaluated forest disturbance/change between the years 2000 to 2015 on all forested watersheds in Minnesota. We looked at specific watershed characteristics to identify water quality risk factors including: proximity of forest disturbances to water features roads and road crossings; soil drainage type texture and erodibility; current and past land cover and land use change; and topographic characteristics (slope flow direction and accumulation).

DNR established a protocol for identifying forest change at the watershed level; this protocol will be refined to better differentiate among various forest change types. For example some partial harvesting is difficult to distinguish from wind damage. Also time sequence is required to detect difference between forest harvesting and some land conversions such as pasturing. In the four target watersheds foresters monitored 34 sites for implementation of forest management guidelines and water quality best management practices. About 1/3 of the sites planned for monitoring in FY14 were completed; the remainder will be completed by Sept 31 2014.

The project will allow for effective carp control in an effort to improve fish habitat, fish spawning and habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife. Improving the fish habitat has a clear and measurable residual value in improving water quality and aquatic vegetation. These projects are provided for in the Districts Ten year plan and complement the work completed on the Edgewater Land-fill project and provide a crucial step in the overall lake management of Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake. ","The Districts Chain of Lakes are highly visible, heavily used urban lake that forms the center of the City of Albert Lea.? The Chain of Lakes in these project forms the upper headwater area of the Shell Rock River Watershed.? The District is the headwater for the impaired waters of the Shell Rock River, which eventually drains into the Mississippi River.? The Shell Rock River Watershed District Clean Water Initiative encompasses 246 square miles in Freeborn ounty and includes 11 lakes that drain to the Shell Rock River which flows into the Cedar River.? Water Qaulity in mahy of the Lakes and waterways is poor due to high turbidity largely caused by carp. Water quality in this Chain of Lakes has been assessed to be poor due to high turbidity, excessive nutrients and the lack of rooted aquatic vegetation resulting in algai blooms, oxygen depletion and water quality impairments.? Studies conducted in similar shallow lakes and fish population assessments in these lakes have shown that high populations of Common Carp, other species and bottom feeding rough fish consume rooted aquatic vegetation, stir up phosphorous ruch sediments and increases turbidity, reduce light penetratio and cause algae blooms responsible for oxygen delpetion.? Assessments of these lakes's carp population has determined that the large population of foraging rough fish is detrimental to the ecolocy of the lake having adverse affects on shoreline and littoral habitat for destroying hydrophytic vegetation, game fish, spawning habitat, waterfowl nesting, breeding and feeding habitat and is adversely affecting fish, migratory bird and waterfowl, mammal and invertebrate populations in the entore area.?

The SRRWD project would install electrical fish barriers at the two inlets for Fountain Lake located at the Wedge Creek inlet and White Lake inlet.? Installing mechanical fish barrier at the utlet of Fountain Lake in Downtown Alber Lea. Controling the carp population will also enhance the fisheries of the lakes.? The increase in nutrients and algai growth caused by the actions of carp can cause the bottom waters of lakes to lose oxygem during both the sumer and winter months.? Thsi can cause stress in native fish species and even fish kills where entire populations are destroyed.? Controlling the carp population can help reduce the stress on the naive fish species.? Upon installation of the barriers, a treatment will be applied and water clarity will increase from a few inches to meters.? The lake will then be stocked with fame fish.? The Fountain Lake fish barriers will complement similar fish barriers installed in 2008 on Mud Lake, up-gradient of Fountain Lake. The anticipated outcomes will restore and enhance the water quality, rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and widlife habitat and will increase and enhance the community use of this important recreational resource in the center of Albert Lea.? The strategy of carp/rough fish control and exclusion is know to be effective and is a program endorsed and being conducted with technical assistance and cooperation with DNR Fisherie and Wildlife Divisions and the MN PCA.? he fish barriers will be installed in cooperation with the City of Albert Lea and MN DNR efforst to eradicate the existig carp population and re-indroduce game fish (sunfish, crappie, bass, and northerns).? Water quality improvements and habitat restoration and enhancements are anticipated as soon as the carp are eradicated and prevented from re-entering Fountain Lake.? Visible and measurable effects are anticipated within 2-3 years. Fountain Lake has public access and is open to public fishing, hunting and trapping during the regular open season.?

Our mission is to lead in the implementation and promotion of economically viable watershed activities through the combined efforts of local partners. We have identified two target areas in the GBERB (Greater Blue Earth River Basin) where high levels of nitrates directly affect public water supply. These areas have been identified as high priority for groundwater protection in the Watonwan River Watershed Comprehensive Management Plan, Le Sueur WRAPS and outlined in the MPCA Watershed Pollutant Load Reduction Calculator. Our proposed activities through new conservation farming adopters will add 1,800 acres of cover crops, 1,800 acres of strip-till/no-till, and 1,800 acres of strip-till/no-till that incorporate manure injection technology, and 300 acres of new CRP resulting in 33,021 pounds of nitrogen from entering high priority groundwater protection areas in GBERB watersheds. Adopting cover crops, or other soil health practices, is a fundamental shift for most landowners and takes substantial consideration in changing their farming practices. We aim to gather economic and crop yield data through our contracted acres and develop an interactive, online map site for producers in southern Minnesota to reference who are actively transitioning from conventional farming methods. We also plan on organizing demonstration and workshop days that will highlight local producer success and challenges during their transition to conservation farming methods. Farmers at the demonstrations and workshops will be able to see first-hand the yield and cost benefits of cover cropping and reduced tillage, along with new equipment and technology to further increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

",,47075,,,,,,"Red Lake Watershed District","Local/Regional Government","The Thief River is the source of drinking water for the City of Thief River Falls. The river's other designated uses also include recreation and aquatic life. Water quality monitoring conducted by local agencies discovered that the Thief River is not meeting state water quality standards for both turbidity (muddiness) and dissolved oxygen. Each year, approximately 12,376 tons of sediment is deposited into the Thief River Falls reservoir by the Thief River. That is the equivalent of over 1,200 dump trucks full of dirt. This excessive amount of sediment increases the potential of harmful byproducts getting into the city's drinking water, increases water treatment cost, and degrades the fish habitat. Marshall County Ditch 20 (CD20) is a drainage system that flows into the Thief River 7.5 miles northeast of Thief River Falls. The deepening of CD20 by erosion has been identified as a major contributor to the sedimentation problems in the Thief River and has exacerbated gully formation in fields along its course. Project partners will collaborate to implement grade stabilization and erosion control strategies along the lower 2.5 miles of CD20. Specifically, a series of rock riffle grade stabilization structures will be used to reduce the head cutting and sloughing along CD20 and side water inlets will be used to halt the gully erosion on adjacent field ditches. This project will help bring the Thief River closer to meeting the turbidity standard by reducing sediment on average by over 400 tons each year. Reducing sediment and nutrients will reduce the amount of water treatment that is need for the City of Thief River Falls and will also improve habitat for aquatic life within the river.

In recent times, the ditch has eroded from its original shape to a channel of steep gradients and unstable banks. This has resulted in head cutting of the channel and nearly continuous channel erosion and bank sloughing with the effect of depositing up to an estimated annual average of 700 tons of sediment into the Red River. With a grant from the Clean Water Fund, the Red Lake Watershed District proposes to construct a project to stabilize the outlet channel. Drop structures/spillways will be used to flatten the channel profile to non-erosive velocities thereby eliminating the head cutting, bank sloughing and transport of sediments to the Red River. The cross section of the channel will be reestablished and critical areas will be armored to prevent future bank cutting. These repairs should reduce the turbidity impairments in the Red River. This project is a component of a larger plan for the Grand Marais watershed that also includes restoration of the original Grand Marais Channel. This larger plan would divert flows from the outlet channel, further reducing the potential for erosion. Re-establishing flows to the original Grand Marais channel will enhance wildlife and aquatic habitats for an approximate 6 mile stretch of natural channel.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2013, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,,,,,"U of MN","Public College/University","PROJECT OVERVIEW Invasive plants cause considerable ecological and economic damage in Minnesota and their control is often difficult to achieve in a long-term cost-effective manner. Although not immune from invasion, healthy forests may be somewhat resistant to invasion; therefore management aimed at maintaining, restoring, or enhancing key forest characteristics might be a useful strategy for slowing forest invasion. Scientists from the University of Minnesota's Department of Forest Resources will use this appropriation to study 80 different forest sites in order to determine the links between forest attributes and plant invasion. Findings will be used to make recommendations for how to best manage forests to resist invasive species. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The primary project goal was to identify forest characteristics effective as deterrents to invasive plants. Healthy forests are likely more resistant to invaders, so management to enhance these key characteristics might slow the spread of invaders. Invasive plants sometimes form dense thickets that affect recreation and wildlife and exclude native plant species. To determine how various site characteristics affected the abundance of common buckthorn and other invaders, we surveyed plant diversity in 67 sites in central and southern Minnesota. At each site, we measured environmental characteristics to simultaneously account for other factors that might influence invasibility. Buckthorn was most abundant in sites with sparse leaf litter, where seed availability was high, and where native plant diversity was low. Both a greenhouse experiment and a second field study indicated that introduced earthworms also benefit germinating invasive plants by eliminating leaf litter. We propose the idea of ""preventive environmental care"" that, like preventative medicine, manages forests to maintain ""wellness"". Although not a panacea for reducing invasion, it is worth considering given the challenges of controlling established invasive species. We suggest managers enhance the competitive challenge to invaders by increasing the diversity of native species by seeding natives and/or reducing the density of white-tailed deer, a species that severely impacts native forest plants. Furthermore, timber harvests should be limited to the winter season and trail maintenance should be done in a way that limits disturbance. This will help maintain intact native understory plants and litter layers, important deterrents to invasive plant establishment. However, none of these approaches are likely to be successful without a strong effort to control landscape level seed availability. Collaborative management with neighboring landowners is crucial to any effort that hopes to reduce invasibility. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION To summarize results from the project and provide guidelines for management, we prepared a pamphlet that included all aspects of the research, as it pertains to the invasion of buckthorn. The pamphlet also provides suggestions for pre-invasion management to reduce invasibility, the main focus of the ""Healthy Forests"" research project. We distributed the pamphlet to all participants at a symposium held on August 14, 2013. The pamphlet is available as a pdf from the project website, http://forestecology.cfans.umn.edu/Research/Buckthorn/index.htm. We presented talks at the Upper Midwest Invasive Species conference (a regional meeting focused on invasive species) and the Ecological Society of America conference (an international conference focusing on all aspects of ecology) in 2012 and 2013. The talks focused on measuring propagule pressure, the greenhouse study, the relationship between earthworm and buckthorn buckthorn, and the effects of native species diversity on buckthorn abundance. On August 14, we hosted a symposium on the St. Paul campus that brought together managers, researchers, and private landowners to share the latest information on invasive plants in Minnesota forests. In addition to talks based on this LCCMR project, other speakers presented information about buckthorn invasion on the prairie-forest border in west central Minnesota, garlic mustard (another common plant invader in Minnesota's forests) as a driver of species invasion, management of buckthorn from a forester's perspective, and management efforts to control other common invasive plants.

Intermediate Impact: Communication and collaboration between Byway Alliance members and Dakota communities increases. This impact was reached, and there is a high interest in the byway work from all partners. Intermediate Impact: The public has access to Discovery Site descriptions that offer accurate, culturally sensitive, and significant content, as well as a broader valley-wide history of the Dakota Homeland. This was partially reached. The public does not yet have access to the new Discovery Site descriptions, but we have started the process and hope to finish in the next few months. There is a Dakota homeland story that is completed. Long Term Impact: Collaboration, trust, and partnership efforts between the Byway Alliance and individual Byway partners and the Dakota communities in the Byway increase. Long Term Impact: The public has a greater appreciation for the intrinsic values of the Minnesota River, particularly the historic ones. While we cannot determine the long term impact, we have laid a good foundation for success in our long term goals. We will be able to see this in meeting attendance and website hits in future months. We also believe we will have future projects that will be a result of this partnership.

We now have a strong partnership between the Byway members and the Tribal Preservation Officers from both the Upper Sioux Community and the Lower Sioux Community.

Projects will be identified in watershed plans developed through BWSR's One Watershed, One Plan program, in which local governments strategically set priorities for clean water and habitat, target implementation, and set measurable goals. BWSR currently distributes CWF dollars to partnerships with approved plans for water quality projects. By offering a more comprehensive funding package, BWSR aims to incentivize local partnerships to focus on more multi-benefit solutions that use the Legacy funds at their full potential.","A RIM easement program will be established for land protection priorities identified in comprehensive watershed management plans (""watershed plans"") developed through BWSR's One Watershed, One Plan (1W1P) program. Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) dollars will be strategically paired with CWF dollars for implementation that stacks habitat and water quality benefits in priority areas as identified by watershed-based partnerships of local and tribal governments. Through the 1W1P program, partnerships of soil and water conservation districts, counties, and watershed districts identify priorities for watershed protection and restoration, set measurable goals, and commit to targeted implementation actions (municipal and tribal governments may also participate in local planning). State agencies (BWSR, DNR, MDA, MDH, MPCA, EQB) are advisors in the planning process and partners in implementation. Watershed plans are comprehensive: they address water quality, water quantity, groundwater, drinking water, habitat, recreation, and more. Once BWSR approves a watershed plan, we grant dollars from the CWF for actions in the plan that address water quality concerns identified in the watershed plan. BWSR's vision is for this water quality funding to be stable and reliable for the life of the Legacy Fund. An important piece of this vision is to streamline the administrative burdens for local governments associated with applying for and reporting on grants while maintaining appropriate oversight of state funds. This allows implementers to spend more time doing what they do best: implementation. A BWSR RIM easement program dedicated for watershed plans would similarly reduce the number of individual proposals submitted to the LSOHC by local governments. Millions of dollars are spent on projects from both the CWF and the OHF that focus primarily on a singular set of goals: water quality or habitat. Resource professionals and fund managers know that while many of those projects have a primary purpose, they achieve multiple benefits to varying degrees. Managers of both funds have expressed a desire to be more intentional about spending Legacy funds to achieve habitat and water quality simultaneously. Furthermore, the state's current easement programs are limited - either to a specific resource type or focused geographic area. There is tremendous opportunity to do more strategic, multi-benefit work. Through this new RIM program, BWSR would offer a more comprehensive set of funding opportunities, and therefore support more holistic, comprehensive implementation. OHF dollars would allow partnerships to meet land protection goals to maintain and enhance terrestrial and aquatic habitats while simultaneously using CWF money to address water quality in the same sub-watersheds (where needed) with actions like agricultural and urban best management practices, septic system upgrades, well sealing, shoreland restoration, stream stabilization and connectivity fixes, and more. BWSR will establish a scoring and ranking system to evaluate easement requests from partnerships with approved watershed plans (we anticipate at least 30 approved plans by the time funding is available). The scoring and ranking approach will incorporate plan priorities, the degree to which projects are paired with Clean Water Fund dollars, and progress toward measurable goals set by local partnerships.",,2023-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Kevin,Roth,BWSR,"110 Second Street South Suite 307","Waite Park",MN,56387,651-539-2521,kevin.roth@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Grant, Marshall, Meeker, Mower, Pennington","Forest Prairie Transition, Northern Forest, Southeast Forest, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/integrating-habitat-and-clean-water-phase-2-4,,,,

We track all project expenses to adhere to and compare with our original project budget. We tally the number of screens attending, and the number of participants attending, both in the group settings on-site at our collaborator venues, and individuals and families joining from their homes and care facilities. We want to find out: - How many people learn something about their cultural heritage and identity as a result of participating. - How many people learn something about the cultural heritage and identity of others as a result of participation. In addition, we want to find out if this project improves health and wellbeing measures. We are near completion of a 2-year Bader Philanthropies supported NE Wisconsin Community Connection Jam webcast project that is a collaboration with Lawrence University Conservatory of Music, Fox Valley Memory Project and University of Wisconsin Whitewater evaluators. It is a 2-way interactive participatory Zoom-delivered arts and health/creative aging webcast. It is intended to evaluate the efficacy of the webcast, partnered with in-person sessions, to address social isolation among older adults. As with the Wisconsin project, we want to find out in this new project if participation results in: - Positive mood - Feelings of being valued by other people - Feelings of being connected with other people - Feelings that they moved their bodies enough - Feelings that they were able to express themselves - Feelings that they were able to forgot about their worries Our Minnesota webcast, upon which this proposed project will be modeled and is expanded, is called the Kairos Alive! Kairos Clubhouse?. It is an engaging and inspiring research-based 2-way TV showthat's a mix of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Reading Rainbow, Soul Train, Science Friday and Live From Lincoln Center for all ages/abilities. (See example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOkOTpTLoLo) With high quality music, adapted dance and movement, stories, and arts/health research learning, it makes creative connections between isolated people; inspires enjoyment, while promoting intercultural understanding. It's for all-abilities older adults to participate with family and friends, and is a place and practice for community healing. People join webcasts in group settings via large screen TVs with webcams, or via home computers. To date, six research studies have been based on Kairos Alive!'s work. In Therese Wengler's Master's Thesis (St. Catherine University), The Importance of a Creative Arts Program for Senior Housing Residents,published in 2015 from her research on our Dancing Heart? program for elders, qualitative results revealed six main themes: 1. Novel and engaging group artistic experience provides opportunity to test and overcome limits 2. Feelings of trust, acceptance, and comfort within the group support self-expression 3. Transformative creative experience in expressing true self, trying new things, and imagining endless possibilities 4. The program was experienced as energizing and fun, generating a positive outlook on life 5. Music and dance fostered mutual knowledge, emotional connection to one's own heritage, and cultural understanding 6. The program resulted in increased social interactions and a stronger feeling of community Multiple studies have found that dance reduces social isolation: increasing the percentage of activities that Parkinson's patients participated in; the act of moving together to a shared rhythm has been proposed to promote increased feelings of community; dancing and singing promote release of endorphins which have been theorized to promote social bonding. My daughter and I had so much fun! Hoping to join again next week! - Dancing Heart? Live Webcast Participant I came a 70-year-old and left a 50-year-old! - Kairos Alive! program participant At the last Kairos [2-way webcast] session on TV one of our men participating who is deaf was unable to hear the music, but he was able to ?see' the music. After the session, I was thrilled to watch him dancing out of the room and down the hall. With music and dance, you don't have to understand a [verbal] language to participate. - Jennifer Rutschke, Assistant Executive Director at Ebenezer Park Apartments, Minneapolis, where 10 languages are spoken in her building.","As of March 9th, we've mounted nine 2-way interactive webcasts of music, song, dance and story participation with older adults and their associated intergenerational family and community members. This is a little over half way through our planned sequence of fifteen webcasts. The project has been going to plan, with slight variations. Our original plan was to start with 4 individual webcasts, one each with Centro, Walker West, Open Circle and the two DACs in Cass and Lake Counties. Then, we planned to bring this group together for the remaining 11 sessions, opening it up to include organizations statewide for the last 6 of the 15 total webcasts. We did both a webcast and an in-person session (2 different sessions) with Walker West's Amazing Grace Choir, and an individual webcast session with Northern Cass Cty DAC. We are working with Centro Wise Elders on a presentation to share with the larger group. To date, we have not been able to attract Open Circle to the webcast. However, our longtime collaborator Ecumen Prairie Lodge Senior Living in Brooklyn Center has joined the webcasts, and with whom we will have individual session. There will be formal sharing originally included in our project design that will happen toward the end of the series when Ecumen, Centro, Bemidji and Walker will share. Because we had numerous groups waiting for us to begin our webcast season in Jan, we decided to to include more outstate organizations earlier in the project and we are thrilled at the positive response (see testimonials below). Starting the statewide outreach right away at the beginning of the project gave us more time for the audience to grow while integrating our original core organizations (minus Open Circle). We're very excited that we are doing this! Audience has expanded quickly and dramatically among organizations who serve people with developmental disabilities statewide. We went from 32 people on 8 screens at project start to 136 people on 24 screens last week. We expect these numbers to grow. Participant organizations now are in Bemidji, Walker, Worthington, Brainerd, Aitkin, Northome, Two Harbors, Sebeka, Benson, Morris, Rochester, Winona, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Waite Park, and Apple Valley. More plan to join. It is thrilling to serve this large audience every week, and to see it grow from our outreach efforts! Sometimes older staff members resist web streaming and engaging with technology, but the younger staff members easily embrace it. We plan further outreach to Open Circle to encourage participation in the remaining part of the series. As you can see in the testimonials, we've been thrilled by the positive reception to our explorations and celebrations of cultural heritage and community identity. Kairos Teaching Artist Vladimir Garrido-Biagetti consistently brings his Chilean Spanish/Indigenous song and dance into our sessions as an inspiration and foil for discussion and participation. Vlad sings in Spanish and provides translations. His mother/son duo Ina-Yukka led a Chilean carnival celebration in the Clubhouse. Performance poet/spoken word artist Joe Davis will be on the webcast in March. He was recently featured on Cathy Wurzer's Minnesota Now radio show. His infectious and inclusive performances enfranchise and encourage both African-American communities and all of us. As planned, we expect to involve guest artist Kevin Washington in the remaining part of the series. Teaching Artists Maria Genn' and Parker Genn' lead movement and song participations, including 'chair dancing' and other adapted forms so everyone can participate no matter their age or ability. Musician/composer/arranger Thomas Johnson explores sources and performs music and song from popular, Broadway, blues, world, jazz, folk and classical traditions. In all shows, participants are encouraged to volunteer favorite music suggestions that are included on the spot or in later shows. Song and dance participations are framed within cultural meanings, with an invitation to intercultural understanding and celebration via the universality of psychology. Love is love. Lonesome is lonesome. Friend is friend. We value the culture of people with developmental disabilities, and attempt to recognize and serve this community with dignity and respect. And, we find ourselves inspired by their creative contributions to music, movement and group songwriting based in their personal lives and interests. As with all of our work, this is not just performance for a passive audience. The audience participants are introduced to dance moves and song lyrics that they can move and sing to WITH us. And, cultural and historical contexts for the dance and music are introduced that give dignity and respect to their sources, gently reference the historical pain of colliding cultures from which the dance and music arises, and invites all into the dance as beloved and respected creative collaborators seeking connection and meaning.; At of the end of our webcast season on June 15th, we had mounted the original grant-specified seventeen 2-way interactive webcasts of music, song, dance and story participation with older adults and their associated intergenerational family and community members. The original plan was to do 15, but we requested permission in our interim report to reallocate funds to support 2 additional webcasts. Then, we used additional Minnesota State Arts Board funding to bring the total webcasts to 25. The audience developed with the Humanities Council funding was included in these additional webcasts. The project went to plan, with slight variations. Our original plan was to start with 4 individual webcasts, one each with Centro, Walker West, Open Circle and the two DACs in Cass and Lake Counties. Then, we planned to bring this group together for the remaining 11 sessions, opening it up to include organizations statewide for the last 6 of the original planned 15 total webcasts. We did both a webcast and an in-person session (2 different sessions) with Walker West's Amazing Grace Choir, and an individual webcast session with Northern Cass Cty DAC. As described in our interim report, we were not been able to attract Open Circle to the webcast, as planned. However, our longtime collaborator Ecumen Prairie Lodge Senior Living in Brooklyn Center joined the group webcasts, plus we conducted an individual webcast session with them.

",,62000,"City of Bemidji ",1602600,,,,"City of Bemidji","Local/Regional Government","After a century of industrial use, the project brought Lake Bemidji's South Shore to its original state. The city removed 1,144 tons of contaminated soil and sediment, 9,400 cubic yards of woody debris from the lake-bottom and planted native vegetation on the shoreline to restore and enhance aquatic habitat. ","   ","The Lake Bemidji South Shore Restoration and Enhancement project transformed a blighted shoreline and disturbed lake bed of one of northern Minnesota’s finest urban lakes into a model of restoration to its native state, improving water quality and aquatic habitat. The project was the final step of a restoration effort led by the City of Bemidji, in partnership with the Minnesota DNR and DEED. Lake Bemidji is the first major lake in the Upper Mississippi River watershed. It supports a diverse high quality fishery for walleye, northern pike, yellow perch and muskie. These species are dependent on high quality habitats.  The south shore of Lake Bemidji has a long history of industrial use which altered the shoreline and impacted water quality. The site housed several industries, primarily forestry companies. With their closing and/or relocation, the site became a blighted brownfield. Adjacent to downtown Bemidji, the project includes approximately 4/10 mile of shoreline. From 2008-2014, the City of Bemidji partnered with DNR and DEED to clean-up the site and restore the shoreline to its native state. Specifically: -    The City purchased the site and placed it in the MPCA Voluntary Investigation and Clean-Up (VIC) Program, and using a DEED redevelopment grant, cleaned up roughly 50 acres of land. -    The DNR purchased land from the City and extended the Paul Bunyan State Trail through the site. -    The City permanently designated the lakeshore between the trail and the lake as public land. -    The DNR purchased a large parcel of the eastern shoreline as a DNR Aquatic Management Area. Much work remained on the lakeshore and in lake bed. Approximately 9,400 cubic yards of woody debris from the old Crookston Lumber remained in the lake bottom and along the south shore. The debris covered 1,500 feet of lakeshore extending 200 feet from the shore and ranging from 1 to 4 feet deep.  The lakeshore needed to be restored to its original state, including native vegetation, trees, shrubs and natural erosion control. The land between the trail and the lake (3.1 acres) was replanted with native vegetation, improving water quality and habitat in the lake and 0.6 acre was restored for use by the public as a swimming beach, rest stop along the bike trail, and education area, totaling 3.7 acres restored for ecological and public use. The project returned the south shore of Lake Bemidji to its native state for the first time in a century, improved the shoreline and addressed water quality and aquatic habitat issues in an urban-recreational setting.  Now that restoration and enhancement is complete, the City developed (with funding outside Outdoor Heritage Council support) a regional park that provides public education on water quality and aquatic habitat restoration. The park utilizes roughly 20 percent of the shoreline. The project balances environmental protection and enhancement and public use and education on one of northern Minnesota’s premier lakes. The following was completed with Outdoor Heritage Fund support: Shoreline Restoration:  The historic industrial use of the site altered the south shoreline of Lake Bemidji. The effect was reduced water quality and compromised aquatic habitat. In May 2014, DNR specialists assessed the south shore site and determined the potential of restoring the site. The DNR recommended substantial clean-up and restoration work to improve water quality, habitat and erosion control. The restoration plan included: -    Site monitoring -    Site preparation/treatment of weeds -    Installation of native seed mixes -    Installation of 10,000 native plugs -    Planting 800 (#2) shrubs -    Planting 10 (#10) native trees -    Weed control  -    Installation of erosion control The city is committed to maintaining the improvements long term through its parks and recreation department.  Woody Debris Removal: The City studied the woody debris issue and completed design plans that lowered the lake level with a temporary cofferdam (protecting the fish) and excavating the debris out of the lake.  The City received the following permits: -    DNR Water Permit -    Army Corps of Engineers Permit -    MPCA Solid Waste/Beneficial Reuse -    Section 106 Review -    Bois Forte Band and Leech Lake Band Clearance Letter The construction work was publicly bid and specified the use of a water barrier cofferdam, Aquabarrier, Portadam, or equal. The Engineer reviewed these brands and permits were based on the specifications. MPCA VIC Program costs for remediation of contaminated soil/sediment is a fee program so costs were incurred for review. Approximately 9,400 cubic yards of woody debris was removed and replaced with sand. The excavated area extended 200 feet out from the shore, covering 1,440 feet of shoreline and depth of 1 to 4 feet. Overall, 240,000 square feet of Lake Bemidji was cleaned up and restored.  The woody debris was sampled and primarily used as clean backfill on site or properly disposed of if contaminated. Approximately 400 tons of contaminated soil and 750 tons of contaminated sediment/wood debris was managed and disposed of at a permitted landfill. The City spent $63,800 in design and permitting. The estimated cost to restore the lake bed was $1.5 million with vegetation restoration totaling $150,000. The City used Landmark Environmental, LLC and Anderson Engineering of MN for construction management because they designed, assisted in bidding, and acquired permits. The City believed they provided high quality and reasonably priced services. Landmark has staff in Bemidji and engineers and staff traveled from Twin Cities to Bemidji for meetings and construction as needed. Summary: Lake Bemidji is one of northern Minnesota’s most critical natural assets.

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

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

The shallow lakes and large marshes that remain now serve as the core of Minnesota’s remaining waterfowl habitat complexes, and are often those basins that were too deep to drain. These remaining wetlands now receive excessive water and nutrient runoff from a highly altered and intensively drained landscape, and are easily accessed by invasive fish such as common carp. As a result, many basins are now turbid and degraded due to high, stable water levels that allow carp and other invasive fish to proliferate and aquatic ecology to stagnate. The results is a lack of aquatic plants and invertebrates required to sustain migrating and breeding waterfowl, especially those species that rely on aquatic foods exclusively such as diving ducks.As a result, ducks migrating through Minnesota on their way north to breed in spring find sparse aquatic food resources, much to their detriment further north, and also again in the fall when their passage through Minnesota appears briefer each year. Those waterfowl that remain here to breed find poor brood-rearing habitat, as shallow lakes and marshes have a paucity of high quality wetland habitat with abundant aquatic plants and invertebrate food resources on which young ducks rely. These factors have contributed to a decline in Minnesota’s diverse waterfowl resources and, unfortunately, a decline in Minnesota’s rich waterfowling traditions.To remedy this situation, Ducks Unlimited’s “Living Lakes Initiative” assists the Minnesota DNR, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and other conservation partners to enhance and restore Minnesota’s shallow lakes and wetlands. This grant supported Phase 2 of Ducks Unlimited's biological and engineering work to design and construct water control structures and fish barriers. DU biologists worked closely with Minnesota DNR Shallow Lakes Program biologists to assess wetland conditions and identify possible management solutions. DU biologists and engineers surveyed, designed, and constructed the water control infrastructure necessary for state and federal agency staff to actively manage water levels. Funding in this request also supported ongoing shallow lake technical assistance from DU biologists and engineers to assess, survey, and design future projects for implementation under future OHF appropriations.Most enhancement work occured in the Prairie Region by design, as that is where waterfowl are in most need of habitat improvements.  Structures are used by agency managers to simulate natural temporary drought cycles in shallow lakes and wetlands that rejuvenate the aquatic ecological process that produces abundant aquatic plants and invertebrates. These structures last for 30 or more years and are generally use by agency staff every 5-7 years to conduct periodic temporary draw-downs that are key to enhancing and maintaining highly productive wetlands. Importantly, DU also restored smaller wetlands on public and other protected land near shallow lakes. Shallow lakes were selected for enhancement by DNR and FWS managers, and generally enjoy strong support from the public for improvement. The Minnesota DNR holds public meetings to share information on the current condition and management plan for shallow lakes designated for wildlife management purposes.PlanningEvery statewide conservation plan recognizes the need for improving and protecting Minnesota’s shallow lakes and associated wetlands for optimal wildlife habitat. The Minnesota DNR’s Duck Recovery Plan is the most specific, calling for the active management of 1,800 shallow lakes and adding 64,000 restored wetlands to Minnesota’s landscape. DU’s Living Lakes Initiative supports this plan through a goal of improving 300 Minnesota shallow lakes in 10 years. Shallow lakes and wetlands are identified as critical habitat for several “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” listed in Minnesota’s “Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild & Rare: An Action Plan for Minnesota Wildlife”, including lesser scaup, northern pintail, and trumpeter swan.Importantly, Ducks Unlimited’s Living Lakes Initiative directly address Minnesota’s Statewide Conservation & Preservation Plan Habitat Recommendations #4 and #5 on pages 78 and 80, respectively, which calls for the restoration and protection of shallow lakes (page 78) and the restoration of land, wetlands, and watersheds (page 80). This program addresses the LSOHC priorities of wetland and shallow lake restoration and enhancement in the Prairie and Forest-Prairie Transition sections. Finally, the North American Waterfowl Management Plan’s Prairie Pothole Joint Venture prioritizes the restoration and management of wetlands and shallow lakes through goals and objectives for improved brood-rearing and migration habitat for ducks. Many of the shallow lakes and wetlands prioritized for enhancement by DU are located within wetland habitat complexes identified by the US Fish & Wildlife Service’s Strategic Habitat Conservation model and are high priority basins for both Service and Minnesota DNR field managers.

Nongame wildlife such as shorebirds and wading birds suffer too. As a result, ducks migrating through Minnesota on their way north in spring find sparse aquatic food resources, much to their detriment when they stop to breed further north due to the importance of nutrient reserves required for egg laying.  Those waterfowl that remain here to breed encounter poor brood-rearing habitat, as few shallow lakes and marshes here have high quality wetland habitat with abundant aquatic plants and invertebrate food resources on which young ducks rely.  These factors have contributed to a decline in Minnesota’s diverse waterfowl resources and, unfortunately, a decline in Minnesota’s rich waterfowling traditions.

This is especially detrimental to diving ducks and other wetland-dependent species that rely exclusively on aquatic plant and invertebrate foods within wetlands and shallow lakes to survive. These factors have caused a significant decline in Minnesota's once diverse waterfowl population, and as a result, in Minnesota's rich waterfowling traditions. This funding request will support DU staff biologists and engineers who survey, design, and manage construction of shallow lake enhancement and wetland restoration projects to improve public water shallow lakes and restore wetlands and grasslands, primarily in the Prairie Pothole Region of SW Minnesota.

To Increase access to Ojibwe Elders, Speakers, and knowledge-keepers while building a network for the school's new language program. Success is measured by the number of new connections made through the project. Three first language speakers have agreed to participate in our project, and we have a large network of Ojibwe artists and knowledge-keepers that we regularly work with. 2 experienced Ojibwe language teachers have agreed to provide support for this project. 3.

FMV sought to restore native habitats within the Refuge and to work in concert with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and other partners on critical, publicly-owned habitat on Refuge lands. During this phase of the MeCC project, FMV and our partners were able to successfully restore and enhance 17 acres of native wet prairie, 48 acres of native dry sand-gravel oak savanna, and 28 acres of native dray sand-gravel prairie with Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund funds for a total acreage of 93 acres. We were also able to restore additional match acreage of 59 acres of native dry sand-gravel oak savanna with non-LCCMR, non-state funds, bringing total acres impacted by this project to 152 acres. The FMV objectives were to complement and connect habitat restoration and management of Refuge lands with that being done by other entities. Restoration sites were selected to address primary management issues and challenges, including the need to restore hydrology within floodplain communities and to restore upland communities such as native oak savanna and wet and dry prairies. Public access to restored lands for recreation and education and the assurance of permanent protection were also primary factors. Due to persistent flooding, our access to wetland sites was severely limited and, as a result, we shifted our focus to upland restoration, as reflected in our amended work program. All work was completed on four Refuge Units. Work included cutting and herbicide treatment of non-native woody brush species such as buckthorn, honeysuckle, prickly ash, eastern red cedar, and Siberian elm. Minnesotans will be able to access and appreciate the restored sites through the access and education provided to Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge visitors. Our project data is publicly accessible by contacting FMV, through information disseminated through our newsletter and on our website, and through information provided by the MeCC Partnership. Project Results Use and Dissemination As projects were completed, Friends of the Minnesota Valley publicized project accomplishments through the Friends' quarterly newsletter, our annual report, publication of a habitat restoration prospectus, and the posting of projects on our website. Other dissemination of information occurred through the Metro Conservation Corridors partnership and on the Metro Corridors website.

First, 80 acres were acquired (36.7 acres pro-rated to this appropriation) and added to the Hastings Sand Coulee SNA. The addition contains native oak savanna and prairie and increases this SNA to 267 acres. Thus, more than half of this largest remaining prairie complex in Dakota County is protected for its 13 resident rare species (including 3 snake and 2 butterfly species) and for public use, including hiking and nature observation. Second, about 70 acres - including public fishing frontage on the Credit River - was acquired (6.2 acres pro-rated to this appropriation) and added to the Savage Fen SNA in Scott County. These sites offer urban residents close-to-home nature-based recreation, including a new archery hunting opportunity on 300 acres at Savage Fen SNA. SNA restoration and enhancement activities were completed on 187 acres at 13 SNAs in 7 counties in the greater metropolitan area. For example, a 55-acre prairie was reconstructed (restored) at Lost Valley Prairie SNA with the help of volunteers and a Sentence-to-Serve crew using seed collected on site by hand and mechanically harvested by the SNA crew. Almost 100 acres was prescribed burned at 5 SNAs. About 34 acres received invasive species control actions, including work by Conservation Corps Minnesota. These activities result in better habitat for the SNAs' rare features and improved quality for users of SNAs. Project Results Use and Dissemination Information about Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) sites, including those SNAs with new acquisition, restoration, enhancement and development activities through this appropriation, is available on the DNR website (www.mndnr.gov/snas). DNR-sponsored volunteer events, such as those involved in the Lost Valley Prairie, are regularly posted at: www.dnr.state.mn.us/volunteering/sna/index.

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

The effort identifies significant natural areas and collects and interprets data on the status, distribution, and ecology of plants, animals, and native plant communities throughout the state. Through 2009 surveys have been completed in 74 of Minnesota's 87 counties and have added nearly 17,000 new records of rare features to the DNR's information systems. MCBS data is used by all levels of government in natural resource planning and use decisions, including prioritization of protection of park lands and scientific and natural areas. This appropriation will permit continuation of the survey in Cook, Lake, and St. Louis counties and begin surveys in Clearwater and Beltrami counties. Additionally two books will be published: a guide to Minnesota's native reptiles and amphibians and a guide to the wildlife of the Red River Valley and nearby aspen parklands. Overall Project Outcome and Results Since 1987 the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS) has systematically collected, interpreted and delivered baseline data on the distribution and ecology of plants, animals, native plant communities, and functional landscapes in 81 of 87 counties. MCBS has added 19,089 new records to the Rare Features Database and contributed 4,544 of the 9,634 total database records to the Releve (vegetation sampling) Database. Rare aquatic plant and vegetation surveys were completed for 1,764 lakes. Statewide 9,713 MCBS Sites of Biodiversity Significance and 58,957 polygons of native plant communities are now publically available on DNR's Data Deli. During this project period, northeastern surveys documented features within large functional landscapes of fire-dependent forests, cliff and talus complexes, and undeveloped lakes. Surveys began in a portion of the northern patterned peatlands, one of the state's largest (about 2.5 million acres) and most inaccessible ecological systems. Surveys included successful collaboration with Red Lake Reservation DNR managers and University of Minnesota researchers. New range distributional data were recorded for Braun's holly fern (Polystichum braunii), Laurentian tiger beetle (Cicindela denikei), Black-throated Blue Warblers (Setophaga caerulescens) and three species of mosses. MCBS data on the locations of native prairie were a centerpiece of a plan: Minnesota prairie conservation plan 2010: a habitat plan for native prairie, grassland, and wetlands in the Prairie Region of western Minnesota. See also: Minnesota's Remaining Native Prairie 100 Years After the Public Land Survey. MCBS provided data and interpretation to inform management and monitoring activities in the Manitou and Sand Lake Seven Beavers Collaboratives- two large multi-jurisdictional landscapes. DNR's Forest Certification implementation used a MCBS data access tool to assist in evaluation of data related to High Conservation Value Forests. Maps of the Minnesota locations of 242 breeding birds based on observations by MCBS are on the web: Bird Distribution Maps. Project Results Use and Dissemination Data delivery includes delivery of information to local units of government, presentations and field trips, publications and web products. Several examples of recipients of data during this period include: St Louis County, Becker County, State Parks, northeast Landscape Collaboratives, Potlatch, Hamden Slough National Wildlife Refuge, Voyageurs National Park, Heron Lake Watershed District, and private landowners near the Chandler, MN Chanarambie Creek Prairies.

In 2020 TCF purchased more than 72,000 acres of forest land Minnesota from the PotlatchDeltic Corp., securing these lands to provide time for conservation partners to permanently conserve these forest lands. DNR seeks to purchase 10,688 acres in fee and Northern Waters Land Trust (NWLT) 7,680 acres to transfer to Counties.","TCF indicated that their purchase from the PotlatchDeltic Corp. is to provide time for permanent conservation with partners. DNR's goal is to protect water quality and wildlife habitat while also preserving working forestlands, safeguarding jobs, contributing to local economies, increasing climate resiliency, and public access. DNR's Heritage Forest Project focuses on forest and habitat protection located in the northern forest region. Working with partners, DNR has implemented a four-phase project plan: Phase 1 (2021-2022) - interdisciplinary team applies DNR's Strategic Land Asset Management metrics to all TCF-owned parcels; engagement with Tribes, Counties and conservation partners. Phase 2 (2022) - DNR staff worked directly with county leaders to apply local expertise & coordination. Phase 3 (2022-2023) - refined priority parcel lists; seek county and Tribal support; develop acquisition strategy including funding proposals; work with NWLT to coordinate acquisitions with Counties and Tribes; complete appraisal for DNR proposed parcels. Phase 4 (2024-2028) - acquire parcels. Many of the Heritage Forest lands are near DNR-managed lands, including existing State Forests. Some lands are suitable for DNR acquisition/management for various conservation purposes (State Forests, WMAs, & SNAs): working forests, protection of important, rare, or diminishing habitats and native plant communities and public access. DNR is working with Counties who have identified parcels for ownership and parcel lists are being refined with NWLT coordination. This project systematically evaluates, prioritizes, and (if approved) will acquire parcels for DNR management with significant local and Tribal input. NWLT is currently using OHF grants for wildlife habitat and tullibee watershed protection and has already completed ""bargain sale"" transactions, purchasing and transferring more than 1,600 acres from TCF to Hubbard County and DNR for permanent protection. With completion of DNR's Phase I, NWLT has been coordinating with Counties and Tribes to identify parcels for acquisition. Lands of interest expand/connect core habitat, address access, support local timber/recreation based economies, protect waters, support climate adaptations/resiliency, and protect critical habitat. Counties selected parcels for strategic reasons including: (1) consolidation/adjacency to County lands (2) securing/improving public access (3) securing/improving forest management access. NWLT will acquire parcels prioritized by Counties, then transfer parcels to each county for permanent ownership. Parcels strategically identified for acquisition are large forest blocks threatened by conversion and/or parcelization. Nearly 7.5 million acres (44%) of MN's forests are privately-owned and at risk of fragmentation/conversion. MN has had some of the highest conversion rates in the U.S., with the highest in North Central MN. Protection work achieves multiple benefits by conserving critical habitat, maintaining forested land cover essential for high water quality/quantity and sustaining the forested landscape critical for local timber/tourism jobs. This work is critical to conserving wildlife that require large intact forests and provides permanent protection for wildlife that inhabit these landscapes. By protecting forests, we protect drinking water, recharge aquifers, reduce nutrients/sediments to lakes and streams, sustain fisheries and mitigate climate change.

The total acreage from both CWF and OHF sources for recorded easements is 2,105.0 acres. Only the OHF acres are being reported in this final report to be consistent with the approved accomplishment plan. ","The sites enrolled were generally farmed sites adjacent to a sensitive water feature or drained and farmed floodplain wetlands and associated upland habitat. Expiring Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts were also enrolled. These sites originally offered limited ecological benefits. 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. Factors considered during site selection included: linear corridor connectivity, length and width of the filter strip, adjacency to a public water, size of the site offered for enrollment, additional wildlife benefits, highly erodible land or partially highly erodible land, threatened and endangered species, and addressing water quality concerns. MN Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) is a voluntary, federal-state funded natural resource conservation program that uses a science based approach to target environmentally sensitive land in 54 Counties in southern and western Minnesota. This is accomplished through permanent protection by establishing conservation practices via payments to farmers and agricultural landowners. Landowners enrolled in the federally-funded CRP for 14-15 years; CRP is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture-Farm Service Agency (USDA-FSA). It uses agricultural land for conservation benefits, rather than farming or ranching; The same land was also enrolled into a state-funded perpetual conservation easement through the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Reserve program, administered by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Private ownership continues and the land is permanently restored and enhanced for conservation benefits. The RIM payment rates were consistent throughout most (2018 - 2022) of 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. The largest easement funded in this project was a floodplain easement in Nobles county (53-01-19-01). The total easement was 209.2 acres (104.6 acres funded with this project) and protects portions of both sides of Kanaranzi Creek and its floodplain areas. This easement is adjacent to an 80.9 acre MN CREP easement funded with ML2016 RIM Buffers Phase VI and a 60.1 acre MN CREP easement funded with ML2017 RIM Buffers Phase VII.

Actions will protect and restore priority lake shorelines, including 2,290 linear feet of buffer, 741 linear feet of shoreline bio-restoration, and several stormwater projects. -Forest Stewardship - High-quality water resources result from largely intact forests. Our actions will be to Increase private forest stewardship and protection by 8,356 acres. -Agriculture Stewardship - Increase soil health BMPs over 1,600 acres, provide no-till equipment and technical services, and implement several pasture BMPs. -Urban Stewardship - Due to local soil conditions, land development has adversely impacted groundwater. The quality and quantity of stormwater runoff actions will include complete retrofit analysis, install four stormwater BMPs, assist municipalities and LGUs in reducing chlorides. -Water Course Stewardship - Disconnection and disrupting water connections impacts habitat and water quality. We will begin by initiating culvert inventory and database, reviewing minimal-use forest roads, completing Mississippi Bluff restoration, and installing ditch checks along Pokegama causeway. -Drinking Water Stewardship - In locations throughout the watershed that have elevated vulnerability our initial actions will include Conducting a survey of wells within the floodplain zone and initiating a geological survey.

Fee title acquisitions and conservation easements on priority lands will create and expand contiguous habitat corridors/complexes and reduce forest fragmentation from development to benefit fish, game and non-game wildlife, and migratory waterfowl. In addition, recreational opportunities for public fishing, hunting, and passive recreation will be increased. ","This proposal is designed to meet current and anticipated land protection opportunities along the first 400 miles of the Mississippi River, its major tributaries, and headwaters' lakes/reservoirs (Lake Bemidji, Winnibigoshish, Wolf, Cass, others). It will protect and benefit fish, game and non-game wildlife, and migratory waterfowl. The Headwaters encompass 8 counties: Clearwater, Beltrami, Itasca, Aitkin, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Cass and Morrison. There is urgency to fund Phase 4 since Phase 1 (ML 16) is already spent and most of Phases 2 (ML 17) & 3 (ML 18) are spent or committed to specific fee-title acquisition or conservation easement projects. There is a waiting list of 25 committed landowners and others have interest. To date, this program has permanently protected 1,966 acres and 14 miles of Mississippi Headwaters shoreline, and projects equal to protection of 1,800 acres and 14+ miles of shoreline are in process. There have been additions to two state forests and a county forest, creation of a new WMA, and 11 conservation easements placed strategically near other public lands to create and expand habitat protection corridors/complexes. Other benefits include reduction of forest fragmentation from development; food and safe resting places for migratory waterfowl; protection of water quality for fish habitat; enhanced public fishing, hunting, and other recreational opportunities, and safe drinking water for millions of Minnesotans downstream. The Mississippi River is the largest river in North America and one of Minnesota's greatest assets. Its headwaters provide excellent habitat for a variety of fish and over 350 species of animals and birds as well as quality recreational opportunities. It supports migratory waterfowl along the Mississippi flyway and impacts living creatures far beyond Minnesota's boundaries. Because most of the quality privately owned lakeshore is already developed in the headwaters, there is increasing development pressure along the Mississippi River corridor as people seek to live and recreate near water. Public lands adjacent to private property are in danger of losing habitat connectivity as these undeveloped lands are increasingly sold for development resulting in destruction of wild rice beds, disruption of habitat and fragmentation of the forestlands, grasslands, and wetlands that dominate the headwaters. The Mississippi Headwaters Board administers and coordinates this project; The Trust for Public Land conducts fee-title acquisitions and the MN Board of Water and Soil Resources is responsible for conservation easements. The headwaters' Soil and Water Conservation Districts provide on-the-ground resources to solicit, select, process and monitor easements. With written resolutions, support is provided by the member county boards. Additional stakeholder support is provided by the Minnesota DNR and The Nature Conservancy. As land conservation projects are proposed, a Technical Committee comprised of project stakeholders review and approve each project against established criteria. Strong local government support is unique to this project. County boards are notified early and approval to proceed is obtained. When an acquisition project is near completion, the County Board is asked for formal approval to complete the project.

These accomplishments exceed the appropriation goal by 209%. Utilizing both fee-title acquisition and conservation easements, the partnership protected 10 projects, totaling over 11 miles of shoreline along the Mississippi River, its tributaries and nearby lakes. This has reversed habitat loss, improved watershed function, and increased access to public lands for quality hunting and fishing opportunities. ",,"The ML2015 Mississippi Headwaters Habitat Partnership (The Trust for Public Land, Minnesota Land Trust, and the MN DNR) permanently protected 1,923 acres (209% of our goal) of sensitive shoreline and wildlife habitat in the Mississippi Headwaters area. These activities occurred in Aitkin, Beltrami, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, and Wadena County. They resulted in three new units of public land (WMA/AMA), two additions to existing public lands (AMAs), and five conservation easements. As background, the Mississippi River is one of the world’s greatest river systems in terms of size, habitat diversity, biological productivity, and sources of drinking water. It is the fourth longest river in the world with over 18 million people depending on this watershed for drinking water supply. The critical Headwaters Region, roughly the first 400 miles of the main stem and associated watersheds, is home to some of our state’s most outstanding freshwater ecological resources. It provides outstanding habitat for fish and wildlife and is a major route for migratory waterfowl. It is also an unparalleled recreational resource for outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, boating and hiking. The idea to form this partnership around habitat protection and restoration in the area grew out of a series of habitat conservation successes and related partnership work in the Headwaters area in the early 2010s: LaSalle Lake, Mississippi River Northwoods, numerous forest legacy projects; shoreland easements initiatives; aquatic management areas additions; and more. For the ML15 appropriation, it consists of three partner organizations - The Trust for Public Land, Minnesota Land Trust, and the Minnesota DNR. This partnership sought to protect sensitive shoreline and habitat resources in the Headwaters area from fragmentation in order to ensure these recreational and natural resource benefits continue into the future. We focused our efforts on the mainstem of the Mississippi River; key tributaries; critical lakesheds; specific natural resource communities; habitat lands with a proven link to water quality; and, recreational access. We exceeded our intentions, and the habitat protected furthered the goals and strategies outlined in numerous state/area resource management plans, including Aquatic Management Area Acquisition Plan; Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild and Rare; and, Outdoor Heritage Fund: A 25 Year Framework.  The specific successes of each of the three partners is outlined below: The Trust for Public Land: In January 2016, The Trust for Public Land acquired and conveyed 705 acres of mixed pine and hardwood forest with over three miles of river frontage on the Crow Wing River, a major tributary to the Mississippi River, to the MN DNR as the new Crow Wing River Corridor Wildlife Management Area (WMA). This protected property creates outstanding public recreational opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking, wildlife observation and canoeing, as well as significant water quality benefits. This highly developable land was previously owned by the Potlatch Corporation and its protection is responsible for the currently occurring jack pine woodland restoration. Minnesota Land Trust: Over the course of this appropriation, the Land Trust protected 4 priority properties totaling 964 acres and 34,207 feet (~6.5 miles) of shoreline. Acres protected exceeded that proposed for the grant by 301%. In addition, projects provided $381,000 in leverage through landowner donation of easement value. Specifically, the following properties were protected: The Black Lake (Bakker) project in Beltrami County permanently protected in easement 6,568 feet (1.24 miles) of shoreline and 391 acres of mixed coniferous and deciduous forest, wetland, and other habitat.  The owner donated the value of the conservation easement for this project. Two conservation easements in Crow Wing County – Island Lake (Flemmer) and Island Lake (Flemmer Trust) – were protected, permanently protecting in easement 25,287 feet (4.8 miles) of shoreline and 514 acres of outstanding quality medic hardwood forest, diverse wetlands, and shoreline habitat along Mud Lake, Island Lake, Owl Pond and Mud Brook.  The 132-acre Ann Lake (Killeen) property in Itasca County was protected with funds drawn in part through both the Mississippi Headwaters Habitat Partnership, and the Land Trust’s Critical Shoreland Protection – Phase 3 program grants. The Mississippi Headwaters Habitat Partnership grant funded the protection of 59 acres of high-quality northern mesic forest and northern rich tamarack swamp, in addition to 2,333 feet of shoreline on Ann and Link lakes. Ann Lake is a state-designated wild rice lake. The property abuts George Washington State Forest on two sides. Minnesota DNR: The Minnesota DNR protected 4 properties through fee-title acquisition and 1 through a conservation easement. Specifically, the following properties were protected: The newly created Greenwood Lake Aquatic Management Area (AMA) is 86 acres with over 3,700 shoreline feet on Greenwood Lake in Crow Wing County. The 6-acre Pickerel Lake AMA with over 2,275 feet of shoreline protected in Hubbard County. The Hill Lake AMA is 31 acres with over 2,000 shoreline feet on Hill Lake in Aitkin County. The 11-acre Preece Point AMA with over 1,100 shoreline feet on Marquette Lake in Beltrami County. The Cuyuna Scout Camp AMA conservation easement added 118 acres of protection to the existing Aquatic Management Area (AMA) in Crow Wing County.

Between February and April, materials and equipment was purchased to assist with the project.  These included acid-free microfilm boxes, microfilming standards, and a laptop computer to enhance the capabilities of the Mower County Historical Society's microfilm reader/printer. When the implementation project is completed, there will be a wealth of records preserved for future generations to learn more about the history of Mower County.  These records will be an invaluable source not only to future township officials but researchers as well.  The enduring value will be that these records are not lost, as some have been, and preserved to ensure the history of Mower County can be told using primary documents.

To perform the research, their curator's hours were increased to determine exhibit themes, create a tentative floor plan for the exhibit, and determine cost estimates for an implementation project. Their curator was able to identify themes relating to Mower County's contributions to World War II. Emphasis was placed on identifying soldiers and their experiences, activities at home that contributed to the war effort, and economic effects of the war on local businesses. By completing this research phase, the curator now has background information to move forward with the implementation of a new exhibit in 2014. By completing this project, the Mower County Historical Society will now be able to create a new permanent exhibit that allows visitors to learn about Mower County during World War II. Additional oral histories can be gathered to enhance the understanding of this time period. With the new exhibit, the historical society will be able to create a new exhibit that meets museum standards and best practices, which in turn will showcase the professional abilities of their staff.

","Minneapolis: In fall 2022, we collaborated with CLUES, COPAL, Festival de las Calaveras, Waite House, etc, to offer community workshops on an ongoing basis, as well as art installations at Midtown Global Market and Squirrel Art Haus, public events in South Minneapolis during Days of the Dead, and an art happening on Lake St, Bloomington Ave, and surrounding area (Mercado Central, Midtown Global Market, Greenway, etc). Estimated total audience is 3,000 people. In spring 2023, we are continuing this work with Waite House, Minnesota Immigrant Movement, etc, offering workshops twice a week at Waite House, and participating in the May Day Parade in South Minneapolis, as well as the Cinco de Mayo Parade on the West Side of Saint Paul, and an event at the high school in Apple Valley. Estimated total audience is 4,000 people. In summer 2023, we will continue with the workshops in South Minneapolis twice a week, and we hope to culminate this work with larger public celebrations during Hispanic Heritage Month (starting Sep 15). Twin Cities: NMM created a commemorative poster celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the Palabristas collective. NMM participated in the celebration event on September 9, and we received a public acknowledgement and thank you for our work. About 200 people were in attendance.

It is a mural that will be created on the exterior wall of the building adjacent to the City Pool. In early May 2023, Flor and Aaron participated in a community festival (Taste of Nations ), where some 400 community participants helped paint the first elements in the mural (a giant sun). Aaron is working with Flor Soto every week to move this project forward. Mural is planned to be installed this summer.

Subwatershed assessments will be completed within each planning region to refine PTMApp identified projects for implementation. Site data collected during the previous WBIF round of funding has been prioritized for practices including cattle exclusion, to reduce effects of in-stream erosion and sediment transport. Meeker County Ditch 47, part of the Middle Fork Crow River, will being construction on the first phase of a restoration project. Examples of structural practices utilized to meet sediment and phosphorus load reductions include grade stabilization structures, water and sediment control basins and grassed waterways; example non-structural practices to be applied include cover crops and conservation tillage. Utilization of these grant funds will provide estimated annual load reductions of 382 pounds of total phosphorus and 1354.3 tons of sediment, which will be achieved through the establishment of structural and non-structural practices. In addition to these estimated reductions, proposed projects will also result in a 3 acres of wetland restoration, 10 well sealings, 7 landowner workshops, and 3 storm water practices, as well as the completion of at least six feasibility or subwatershed assessment studies that will identify additional practices for implementation.

For this phase we originally planned to protect 740 acres with a minimum of 375 native prairie. Both targets were exceeded - 120% of total acres and 177% of native prairie acres. The land and easements purchased with this funding by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) have been transferred to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and are now units of the Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge. ",,"The Council’s 25-Year Framework identifies protecting Minnesota’s remaining native prairies as a critical priority.  The Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (Prairie Plan) describes the importance of preserving the cores/corridors/complexes where there are the greatest opportunities for the long-term conservation of these prairies.  The Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge Land Acquisition (NTP NWR) program shares these goals.  This program is a cooperative, multi-year effort of The Nature Conservancy and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to preserve and protect our remaining prairies and the surrounding habitat that buffers them.  With Outdoor Heritage Fund support, this partnership is working together to advance these goals.   This phase included the purchase of both fee title properties and permanent habitat easements.  The original targets for fee and conservation easement acquisition were 485 acres and 255 acres, respectively.  Both goals were exceeded - 520 acres of fee (107% of goal) and 367 acres of easements (144% of goal).  This program’s top criterion for selecting projects is the presence of remnant native prairie.  As noted above, 664 acres of remnant native prairie were permanently protected.  Another important goal is protecting lands in existing complexes of habitat and protected lands.  All of the acquired properties were in areas identified as a priority core/complex/corridor in the Prairie Plan.  We also target lands with high-quality habitat and the rare species this habitat supports.  Data from the Minnesota Biological Survey confirm the conservation value of the lands conserved.  553 acres were identified as having significant biodiversity, with 272 of these ranked as having high or outstanding biodiversity.  These lands support a wide-range of prairie species of concern, including Greater Prairie Chickens, Wilson's Phalaropes, Blandings's Turtles, and Regal Fritallaries.  Another highlight in this phase was the protection of several rare outcrops of Sioux Quartzite and the species that depend on these outcrops.  This program also includes a relatively small restoration/enhancement component.  The prioritization criteria favor parcels that are in good condition.    Because of the nature of parcel ownership, however, some properties included small areas of converted or degraded lands needing grassland or wetland restoration/enhancement.  This work is completed where needed to get these properties into a sustainable condition for future management.  Restoration/enhancement activity with this round of funding included 149 acres of grassland site preparation/seeding or interseeding/mowing, 6 acres of tree and/or dense vegetation removal, and 98 acres of scattered vegetation removal.  These acres are not reported as a separate outcome in the Output Tables in order to avoid any possible double-counting.   One thing to note when reviewing the attached Budget Spreadsheet.  The Request column in the Budget and Cash Leverage Table is out of date.  The figures shown are from the originally approved accomplishment plan.  It does not reflect any later amendments.  This discrepancy resulted from the shift from paper to online reporting during this phase.  See the final version of the Accomplishment Plan, approved in January, 2017, for the final figures.

The PlaywrightsÆ Center granted $214,300 to fourteen fellows and added a fourth Jerome fellowship ($16,000 to an emerging playwright). Funds provided artists time and energy to focus on their work, measured through final reports submitted by each fellow. One fellow wrote: This year has been hands-down the most concentrated and productive writing I have been able to accomplish."" 3. Five new plays by PlaywrightsÆ Center writers were produced/developed by local companies.

Artist contact hours include time Minnesota artists spend teaching workshops in American Swedish Institute's studio arts program, engaging with the public through lectures, presentations, and demonstrations at festivals and special events. Admission reports show how many visitors are engaging with Minnesota artists through exhibitions and guided tours. American Swedish Institute also captures visitor demographics, composition and visiting patterns by conducting monthly visitor intercept exit surveys. Results show an increase in overall participation of new and first time visitors to American Swedish Institute (70% non-member base in fiscal year 2013 compared to 30% non-member base in fiscal year 2014), engaging its mission through arts related activities, including exhibitions of contemporary Minnesota artists. Expressed interest in seeing American Swedish Institute use the arts to engage its target audiences is not only collected in these exit interviews, it is supported by qualitative research conducted through select focus groups in fiscal year 2013. 2: Increase arts programming and the number of Minnesota artists involved by utilizing the new gallery and the new crafts studio and workshop in the Nelson Cultural Center. The National Association of Neighborhoods hosted their annual meeting in Minneapolis and American Swedish Institute was identified as a case study for how a cultural and arts organization is co-creating programs to meet needs in the community, acknowledged in a keynote address by our local councilman. Other key neighborhood organizations, such as Children's Hospital (medical industry), Lutheran Social Services (social service industry), and Ebenezer (housing services for seniors) have identified arts programming at American Swedish Institute as an asset to partner with to achieve their goals and missions.","In fiscal year 2013, American Swedish Institute worked with 21% greater overall number of artists from fiscal year 2012. For that same time period, American Swedish Institute experienced a 203% increase in the number of artist contact hours with the public. 80,472 visitors engaged with artwork created by Minnesota artists, an increase of 181% over fiscal year 2012. For each of the major exhibitions hosted in fiscal year 2013, Minnesota artists have been the avenue for American Swedish Institute to grow new audience and connect regional interest in its international exhibitions. By strategically incorporating practicing Minnesota artists, American Swedish Institute is being viewed within its community and across the state as an important arts incubator and facilitator. Fiscal year 2013 saw a major transformation from a member-based heritage organization to a vibrant contemporary arts and cultural organization using a broader portfolio of delivery mechanisms (residencies, musical performances, theatre, and participatory exhibition experiences) to engage its diverse audiences. 2: American Swedish Institute has built a reputation as a cultural and arts anchor for the Phillips West Neighborhood of Minneapolis and continues to build more sustained and new relationships with key organizations in its community. In fiscal year 2013, American Swedish Institute used the visual and literary arts to expand programming at three neighborhood schools, growing its participation by more than 50% over fiscal year 2012 with added classrooms and afterschool programming. American Swedish Institute partnered with a media arts unit at a local high school to grow Story Swap, a cross-cultural educational project for new immigrants.

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

Keep our 2010-11 repertory, except Claudia and Huggertree; bring in two plays from past repertoire; provide a new conservation play, a new library play, and two Booster Bits on a new topic. Provide one major new project like OPS or Anoka-Hennepin. Increase professional development workshops, from five to eight. Bring together four to six theatre professionals who, as a CLIMB Core of Theatre Practitioners, will observe and critique our actors, scripts, and production elements as they are performed on site. Actors will observe assessment and evaluators’ work, and vice versa, at least one time. We know we provided programs that met constituent needs. First, our repertory was created with input from topical experts and educators. Second, we know the topics were of value to our constituents because we sold 283 plays and 220 days of classes in Minnesota. Third, this year we created new teacher and student evaluations. 3,316 teachers rated the overall value of our programs as a 3.8 out of 4. And 99% of teachers said they would like CLIMB to return to their school. 7,785 students evaluated our plays and classes. 91% of students surveyed said they learned something that will help them. The feedback we received from the CLIMB Core of Theatre Practioners and the additional trainings helped actors score well in both teacher and student evaluations. 95% of elementary students said the acting was great. The actors' portrayal of their characters was rated as a 3.9 out of 4 by teachers and a 3.5 out of 4 by secondary students. 2: Expand our commitment to public service and public benefit.

We know we expanded our commitment to public service and public benefit. We exceeded our goal by 8,967 people and reached 128,967 Minnesotans with high quality arts programming. Our programming was defined as high quality by actor/University of Minnesota professor Barbara Kingsley who said, I was surprised by the level of engagement in the audience while watching 'A Deeper Look.' The young audience was riveted. I attribute this to the high level of proficiency on the part of the acting company. Michael Booth also praised CLIMB's original works saying, I was impressed by the artfulness and the message of the play, 'Lockdown.' We did a significant portion of our work in greater Minnesota and in rural Minnesota, and worked with over 800 students with special needs in addition to 815 seniors. We track this data in a spreadsheet that is completed after each residency/performance. This data helps us know the number of people served, as well as statistical data like location and number of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. We tracked the savings given to greater Minnesota schools by subtracting their actual travel cost from the original quote given for that school.","To ensure the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life, we provided programs that meet constituent needs. To do this we achieved our stated goals as follows: 1) maintained our repertory except Claudia and Huggertree; 2) brought in Yellow Troll's Treasure and The Dreaded Kneejerk from past repertoire; 3) wrote and produced a new environmental play called Space Baby, a new library play called The Gift, and two Booster Bits (now Interplays) on empathy; 4) created a training video for Anoka Hennepin School's human resources department, and did a live presentation for all their kindergarten teachers; 5) provided actors workshops on operatives, biomechanics, stage combat, unarmed stage combat, and auditioning; 6) created a corps of theatre practitioners (Michael Booth, Barbara Kingsley, James Williams, Mark Rosenwinkel, and Terry Lynn Carlson); 7) ensured actors observe each other's work at least once. 2: In order to ensure people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts, we continued to expand our commitment to public service and public benefit. To do this we: 1) reached 128,967 Minnesotans as of July 15, 2013 exceeding our goal by 8,967 people; 2) served 19% of Minnesota's cities and towns, falling short of our goal by 3% due to two anticipated grants not being funded; 3) scheduled 39% of our Minnesota programming in rural communities and 33% of our Minnesota programming in greater Minnesota; 4) created a special program to help save greater Minnesota schools money, but since it required partnering with another school participation was limited. However, to keep with our commitment of making travel affordable to greater Minnesota schools, our outreach team created tours that saved schools in greater Minnesota 39% on travel costs; 5) created a new program for elders with cognitive/physical disabilities and provided 79 days of programming to 815 seniors; 6) partnered with twelve organizations to do customized residencies for people with special needs.",,888168,Other,927687,7929,"Jim Gambone, Representative Joseph Atkins, Bonnie Matson, James Olney, Bill Partlan, Milan Mockovak, Peg Wetli",1.49,"CLIMB Theatre, Inc.

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

High attendance numbers and ticket sales, positive feedback from audience polls, membership growth and filmmaker involvement were indicators of the achievement of Outcome 1. Attendance numbers and ticket sales, the easiest to evaluate, were tracked through ticketing software. Festival attendance reached the highest levels ever. Year-round attendance was stable. Audience surveys were provided to every attendee upon entrance to a film; survey results were compiled and analyzed and indicated a diversification of our audiences in terms of background, ethnicity, age, and financial status, and indicated a high level of audience satisfaction with and interest in our programming. Membership numbers reached our highest ever, indicating continued support and appreciation of our work. 2: All Minnesotans will be given opportunities to participate in and become better informed and educated through the medium of film, and the art of film is interwoven into many facets of the community and contributes to the vitality of community life. The art of filmmaking thrives in Minnesota. We will continue to expand the International Film Festival and our year-round programming. We will measure our continued success toward this goal through increased attendance and earned and contributed income, audience polls, word-of-mouth, and collaborative participation. We will also focus on providing access for new international and immigrant populations through geographically-focused series and festivals, increased partnerships and collaborations, and we will expand Minnesota made programming and exhibition in support of Minnesota artists. Increased attendance and earned income (ticket sales) indicated successful audience interest and engagement as well as more opportunities for participation. Audience surveys were provided to every attendee upon entrance to a film; survey results were compiled and analyzed and indicated a diversification of our audiences in terms of background, ethnicity, age, and financial status, and indicated a high level of audience satisfaction with and interest in our programming. Where polled, word of mouth was noted to be a high motivator for attendance. Membership numbers reached our highest ever, indicating continued support and appreciation of our work. Our revenue continued to grow in every contributed and earned income area indicating increased audience and funder interest. More numerous and successful collaborations with local institutions and with Minnesota filmmakers and artists, along with increased interest in future engagements, indicated successful engagement and collaborative participation.","400 high-quality narrative and documentary feature length and short form independent films from 67 countries, 59 of which were made by Minnesota artists, were exhibited throughout fiscal year 2013. 133 local, national and international filmmakers attended the exhibition of their works, providing valuable context for audiences. Panel discussions featuring national, international and local industry professionals underscored the inherent educational value in both narrative and documentary film. Collaborations with arts and other organizations included new partnerships with numerous Minnesota organizations such as the Guthrie Theatre, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and Partnership Resources, Inc. New programming and outreach initiatives providing arts access to Minnesota's new international populations were successfully implemented. Emphasis on local filmmakers fostered the creation and appreciation of art in Minnesota. 2: Programming, festivals, events, and our daily exhibition initiatives were expanded to provide more opportunities for Minnesotans to participate in the arts as well as to provide access to both Minnesota's new international and immigrant communities and our general audience. Initiatives included, among others, an African Series and Spotlight entitled Songs of Exile in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Film Festival, an expanded Polish FilmFest in the summer, National Theatre Live and a Gordon Parks Retrospective.

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

Cutler), self-guided behind-the-scenes tours featuring special exhibits in the scenic and properties shops and the recording studio, performances of Milly and Tillie by Minneapolis' Open Eye Figure Theatre, a costume exhibit featuring historical pieces from the Guthrie Costume Shop and a Costume Photo Booth.

We hosted an end of the year meeting with our Critical Review students and learned from them how we can improve the program, such as including a wider variety of artistic performances for them to review and have designed our program to incorporate these suggestions. We also received positive feedback from attendees of Broadway Confidential, our free series of behind-the-scenes talks by theatre experts. 2: To ensure that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are, the Trust will work with local theatre companies to present new and retooled works in the New Century Theatre. Minnesota artists will be showcased, and the Trust will assist with marketing and production. We received positive feedback on our first year as a Minnesota Fringe Festival venue, with their executive director Jeff Larson commenting, Thanks again for both hosting and sponsoring the Fringe. It was a great year for the festival and the New Century was an especially successful venue. There were multiple sellouts of a space that's on the big side for us and a lot of publicity from Mayor Rybak coming to the show about him twice. The room couldn't have worked better for us. After evaluating our inaugural seasons with both Theater Latte Da and Minneapolis Musical Theatre, we launched the second season for both. Broadway Re-Imagined with Theater Latte Da returns with Cabaret and will star the acclaimed Sally Wingert and Minneapolis Musical Theatre's second season will feature three shows including the Twin Cities debut of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, nominated for two Tony Awards.","To ensure that people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts, the Trust engaged approximately 5,115 people with our education and community engagement initiatives. Through our Access 10 Program, we distributed nearly 2,000 free tickets to human service non-profit organizations coupled with participation in artist workshops and tours. Our Critical Review Program offered 35 high school students from diverse backgrounds around the metro area the opportunity to attend touring Broadway shows, write reviews and attend behind-the-scenes workshops with Twin Cities theatre professionals. War Horse Family Day, in partnership with In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, taught fifty children and their families how to build and operate their own horse puppets. We also fielded sixty one ASL interpretation requests for shows including Les Miserables and Wicked and will continue to offer listening devices at all of our productions and open captioning at select performances. 2: To ensure that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to whom we are, Hennepin Theatre Trust worked with local theatre companies to present new and retooled works at the New Century Theatre. We concluded the first season in our partnership with Minneapolis Musical Theatre with a three week run of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard featuring an all-local cast and crew. Through our outreach, the New Century Theatre was also chosen as a Minnesota Fringe Festival venue for the first time and hosted eleven shows. The Trust underwrote part of the cost and acted as a sponsor for the event. In another local partnership, we evaluated Aida, the first production in our Broadway Re-Imagined series with Theater Latte Da, which was originally scheduled to take place at the New Century but was moved to the larger Pantages Theatre.",,22978311,Other,23370251,154976,"Wendy Dayton, Julie Idelkope, Linda Ireland, Sonia Cairns, Dan Cramer, Jay Salmen, Jann Olsten, Edward Pisarski, Scott Benson, Annette Meeks, Thomas Rosen, Ralph Burnet, Brian Pietsch, Doug Ruth, Jeannie Joas, Barbara Klaas, Ann Simonds, Julie Beth Vipperman, Daniel Bergin, Mark Marjala, Tom Vitt, Jim Linnett, David Orbuch, John Blackshaw",2,"Hennepin Theatre Trust","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2013-06-01,2013-09-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Sarah,Johnson,"Hennepin Theatre Trust","615 Hennepin Ave",Minneapolis,MN,55403,"(612) 455-9500x 515",Sarah.Johnson@hennepintheatretrust.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carlton, Carver, Cass, Chippewa, Chisago, Clay, Clearwater, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Dodge, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Grant, Hennepin, Houston, Hubbard, Isanti, Itasca, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Koochiching, Lac qui Parle, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Lyon, Marshall, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pennington, Pine, Pipestone, Polk, Pope, Ramsey, Red Lake, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Rock, Roseau, St. Louis, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Steele, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Wabasha, Wadena, Waseca, Washington, Watonwan, Wilkin, Winona, Wright, Yellow Medicine",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-192,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

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

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

The abilities of the ensembles vary season to season as singers move from one ensemble to the next. The artistic staff selects first semester music based on what they expect the singers to be able to achieve. Second semester repertoire is selected by the conductor with the goal of providing music that will be challenging to the ensemble and provide the means to stretch their abilities as they learn more skills. By choosing carefully from a variety of genres, styles and composers, the artistic staff ensures the singers are challenged and are able to learn through the challenge. This evaluation is ongoing by the artistic director, including a discussion at the end of the season with each conductor, specifically addressing repertoire. All repertoire selections are reviewed by the artistic director to ensure the appropriate level of difficulty and learning opportunities. 2: Honors Choirs will continue to hold the highest standard of excellence while recognizing the importance of the organization’s affordability to singers and their families. The staff and board members regularly reviewed the concert attendance figures as well as the level of enrollment as indicators of the health of the organization and the excellence of the program. Additionally, we conducted a post-season survey to determine the value of the program to our families. Data suggests that families view tuition as on-par with their other activities and a good/excellent value to their singer.","The 2012-13 season featured a variety of repertoire including many musical styles, cultures, and languages. Challenging repertoire included music of composers such as Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Brahms, alongside pieces by Rutter, Papoulis, Clausen, and Leavitt.

Singers in all four ensembles had the opportunity to audition for solo parts, and perform outside the traditional concert setting including school outreach tours, public venue performances, and a major tour to New York City. Additionally, Concert Choir performed complex repertoire collaboratively on two separate occasions this season: Rutter's Gloria, with adult choir Choral Arts Ensemble, and Rene Clausen's The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere performed at Lincoln Center in New York City along with musicians and singers from across the country. 2: Scholarships provided funding to all singers with need, including assistance to Concert Choir singers traveling to New York City. We added several fundraising options to help singers defray the cost of the New York City tour. Proceeds from both of these fundraisers were credited 100% to singers' accounts, and many of the singers participated. A focus was put on utilizing volunteers from within our membership, resulting this past season in the formation of a regular group of helpers for concerts, publicity, and outreach activities. Utilizing volunteers keeps our administrative hours low, while capitalizing on the many talented individuals in our midst.

Outcomes include a 10% growth in our library usership and a 20% growth in our educational offerings in the next year. We will build Minnesota's local, national, and international reputation as an important cultural center, making Minnesotans aware of the importance of contemporary art to our collective identity. Through support from the State Arts Board and a project grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, we firmly established our library's visiting art and curator lecture series. Our artists and curators presented lectures and engaged with the public on a monthly basis. After a number of record attendance lectures most notably a lecture by St Paul-based painter Bruce Tapola, where more than 100 attendees filled our space to over capacity, we decided to engage in a mini-capital campaign in the fall of 2012 to expand the library space. After a two month campaign, $50,000 was raised to expand the library to more than double its size. We continue to see high demand for these educational opportunities. We also formed a partnership with the University of Minnesota and local-publisher Univocal press to bring French philosopher Francois Laruelle to the Twin Cities for a series of workshops and talks at Midway and at the Weisman Art Museum. We are continuing to identify new opportunities to engage our audience both through our library's activities and our exhibition programming. In the summer of 2013, we hired our first full-time librarian to oversee much of this activity. 2: Midway Contemporary Art will originate three to five world premiere exhibitions from a diverse group of artists from Germany, Scotland, Canada, Sweden, and elsewhere. The artists were very enthusiastic regarding their experience at Midway. They continue to remark on the positive nature of the support they receive, both financial and also via our tremendous staff. We are continuing to identify new ways to provide this critical support to these artists to enable them to realize ambitious projects where otherwise they might not find the light of day. This is an increasingly vital component to how we view our core values at Midway. These values translate into growing a broader appreciation for Minnesota’s role in supporting the creation of new cultural value on both a local and international stage.","We grew our audience and deepened our local constituents' understanding and appreciation of the arts through our library, exhibitions, and educational programming. Library usage grew by an estimated 15%, and participation at educational offerings in the library and offsite events grew by 25%. 2: Midway originated five world premiere exhibitions from a diverse group of thirteen artists from Minneapolis, Berlin, Glasgow, Brussels, San Paolo, Nova Scotia, New York, Tehran/Berlin, Frankfurt, and Vancouver. Much of the work was commissioned by Midway, while in one group exhibition work was on loan from major museums and private collections from New York, Beirut, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, and other cities. As part of this exhibition season, we instituted a formal artist stipend policy of providing the artists with $5,000 in addition to covering all expenses including the production, shipping, travel, per diem, and accommodations related to the exhibitions. The exhibitions received very positive reviews and coverage in local, national, and international press outlets, both trade industry and general public.",,404393,Other,418026,,"Sally Blanks, Jim Cahn, Leslie Cohan, Toby Dayton, Isa Gagarin, Michelle Grabner, Randy Hartten, Katharine Kelly, Chris Larson, Kati Lovaas, Alan Polsky, Jay Swanson",,"Midway Contemporary Art","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Rasmussen,"Midway Contemporary Art","527 2nd Ave SE",Minneapolis,MN,55414-1103,"(612) 605-4504 ",johnr@midwayart.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Washington, Dakota, Scott, Carver, Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, Winona",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-211,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

We evaluated our success through post-production evaluation surveys, the completion of which was required of all contracted artistic personnel. The quantitative portion of the survey asked personnel to score the quality of lights, set, overall production, etc., on a scale from one to five. The results were compared to previous surveys. The qualitative portion asked designers to talk about their experience, how they felt about their work as part of the production team, and to give suggestions for improvement. We found the qualitative input we received to be much more useful than the quantitative results of the surveys. 2: Broaden audience by increasing individual attendees by 10% through the expansion and refinement of current marketing plans and strategies. Outcome success was evaluated by the number of individual attendees. We evaluated the success or failure of the planning efforts through staff and board conversations, both group and individual.","Lyric Arts increased its total production budget by 39%. Stipends for contracted directors, designers, and other artistic personnel increased by 42%, making our rates more equitable with what is offered in the rest of the seven-county metro area and allowing us to hire highly qualified personnel for every production in our season. We were also able to spend more on supplies and equipment. Based on feedback from the artists involved in the season, many of whom were of a higher caliber than in previous seasons, artistic excellence increased substantially. That same feedback pointed out opportunities for improvement in our production process. This led to changes in our artistic staff and a reorganization that will lay the ground work for future growth and success. 2: Lyric Arts saw no substantial increase in the number of individual attendees from year to year through the expansion of current marketing plans. In the evaluation of our limited success this area, it was noted that while the expansion of marketing plans was easy to implement, refinement of the plans was more difficult to accomplish due to the structure (and the very small size) of our staff. As a result, Lyric Arts has reorganized the administrative staff to create departments for specialists instead of collaboration between generalists.

Provide effective education programs for K-12 students as well as lifelong learners, compelling exhibits, engaging public programs, and elevated support of artists. Highlights include a festival of Japanese book and paper arts, a new summer art-mart, an expanded artist-in-residency program, opportunities to learn from internationally-renowned visiting artists, and the second year of a certificate program in book arts for adult learners. Minnesota Center for Book Arts' new graphic identity premiered in publications and printed materials this spring to positive feedback, and the corresponding Web design will appear on schedule in fall 2013. Minnesota Center for Book Arts' ongoing and new partnerships with arts and social service organizations continued to directly impact Minnesotans of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. Over 70,000 participants visited Minnesota Center for Book Arts last year; of that number, Minnesota Center for Book Arts reached 29,000 students through its youth education and community programs (up from 22,000 in 2011). New program partners include Arts in Action Minnesota for teen mothers, and numerous public libraries. Minnesota Center for Book Arts' free open houses attracted broad participation. This spring hundreds of visitors participated in Minnesota Center for Book Arts' free Cosmic Discovery Day, held in conjunction with the exhibition Stellar: Book Art and the Cosmos. Minnesota Center for Book Arts again participated in the Flint Hills Festival June 1-2, where 3,000 visitors encountered the book arts over the two-day festival. 2: Insure organizational sustainability. Expand earned income through existing and new initiatives, increase individual contributions, expand overall staff capacity in a strategic manner, and increase the number of local and national artists represented in the retail shop to yield increased earned income and a source of income for artists. Outcome 1: At the end of its fiscal year, equipment breakdowns in Minnesota Center for Book Arts' studios required immediate, costly repairs to serve students and artists. That factor and others led to a year-end deficit (the first in several years). Minnesota Center for Book Arts' staff and board are committed to good practices by combining creative programming and problem solving with prudent business management. This fall Minnesota Center for Book Arts' board will adopt a new 3-year strategic plan, having met its previous goals. Although earned income decreased by 10% in 2012, expenses related to that decrease also reduced, so the net effect was negligible. Contributed support overall increased by $73,000. Minnesota Center for Book Arts' new Membership and Giving Manager will manage its expanded membership program (as of summer 2013) and develop its individual donor base. Minnesota Center for Book Arts' shop collaborates with local artists to promote and sell work showcased in Minnesota Center for Book Arts' exhibitions, such as Parts of a Whole (summer 2013), featuring work by Minnesota Center for Book Arts' artist community.","Minnesota Center for Book Arts Outcome: Expand Minnesota Center for Book Arts' contribution to the field of book arts. Minnesota Center for Book Arts maintained and expanded extensive educational programming for youth and adults in schools, communities and in its home facility. In addition Minnesota Center for Book Arts continued to grow the Minnesota Center for Book Arts Certificate Program for Adult Learners - a successful program launched in 2011. Minnesota Center for Book Arts presented 5 exhibitions in its main gallery and 5 in its ancillary galleries along with a variety of engaging public programs. Minnesota Center for Book Arts provided unmatched support for individual book artists (primarily residing in Minnesota) at all levels through classes, workshops, an expanded Artist-in-Residence program, exhibitions, access to studios and equipment, fellowships, and roundtable discussions. 2: Minnesota Center for Book Arts Outcome: Ensure organizational sustainability. As the only organization in the state dedicated to advancing the book arts, Minnesota Center for Book Arts ensures that a valuable artistic asset - the book - remains an integral part of the broader world of art, and one that thrives in Minnesota. Minnesota Center for Book Arts continued to responsibly build staff capacity and implement best practices in operating efficiencies and fiscal disciplines.

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

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

The second annual Family and Intergenerational Weekend will be hosted in October 2012 and enrollment in the course offerings will increase by 10%. Family programming elements will be integrated into each of our three major events to expand family involvement from our local community. At each of our major events, surveys are distributed to event attendees as a means of public evaluation. Standard written student and instructor evaluations are part of every course on campus. Regular conversations between instructors, staff, and volunteers explore life in the classroom every day. Building community is at the heart of North House's mission, which is why staff actively engage with students and visitors. Our lead staff rotate in the role of campus host directly connecting with students and gaining honest, direct feedback. Whether during the student welcome on their first day, in the school bookstore, or at the weekly student pizza bake, students are encouraged to share their ideas so that staff may work to improve courses for future participants. 2: North House Folk School will build momentum for its year-round coursework to nurture the thriving arts community on Minnesota's North Shore. Enrollment in catalog courses will increase, generating 6% growth in earned tuition revenue. Public outreach regarding our educational mission will increase membership and annual giving support by 10%. North House staff tracked all course catalog participants and membership, comparing last year's data to this year's numbers. North House's Programs Committee - made up of instructors, staff, board, and community members - meets monthly to discuss enrollment reports and strategize around course programming. Similarly, North House's Development Committee - composed of staff, board, and community members - meets on a monthly basis to review membership reports, financial summaries, and design outreach strategies.","In October 2012, North House offered its second annual Family Weekend featuring 10 family-oriented courses, a family contra dance, and a family storytelling session. A total of 48 students participated At North House's Unplugged event, families participated in a free community concert and cloth waulking demonstration with featured speaker Norman Kennedy. June's Wooden Boat Show included a family contra dance, the annual Solstice Puppet Show, and a new family storytelling session. Over 1,000 people attended the Puppet Show. Over 30 local youth and parents/adults participated as performers. During Northern Fiber Retreat, North House co-hosted a family program with the local Fiber Guild, resulting in participation from 15 adult-child pairs. A newly designed Instructor-In-Residence program in 2013 offers any campus visitors, including families and children, the opportunity to interact with an artist demonstrating live craft. 2: Build momentum for year-round coursework to nurture the thriving arts community on Minnesota's North Shore. Student enrollment in course catalogs and membership support were both at their highest rates ever in 2012. Student enrollment increased from 1,610 students in 2011 to 1,757 in 2012. An increase both in terms of total number of students served (+9%) and total student days (+10%). In the past year off-season programming was more robust than ever. For example, in February 2013, 244 students were on campus, exceeding late summer 2012 enrollment. Whether or not this continues as a growing trend, there has certainly been a shift in the feel on campus as the off season can be even busier than the summer high season. Membership was similarly successful, with a 20% increase in member numbers (from 800 in 2011 to 957 in 2012).

Assessment used to design and implement a new financial model includes evaluation of five years of financial data by the executive director and treasurer. Further, monthly reports are presented to the finance committee and board by program staff, based on year to date and individual event financials. The Board of Directors, Finance Committee and Executive Director meet every two weeks to continue the process of developing and implementing the new sustainable finance plan. 2: Increase outreach through marketing and membership. Currently, a team is redesigning marketing materials and formalizing a marketing calendar. The membership committee is identifying more entry points for non-members at events. Measurable outcomes for marketing will include a marketing strategy and a media network database. Outcomes for participation will be reflected in more tickets sales, class registrations, and memberships. The executive director and program staff analyze data collected on pre- and post-event forms within one week of the close of the event. This information is used to refine our marketing practices.

One highlight was Johnny Baseball, an original production by the award-winning composer/lyricist team of Rob and Willie Reale and writer Richard Dresser. We continued to hold up our artists as valued citizens and leaders through regular events for donors; demonstrations/discussions for students, seniors, and general audience; and publicity, marketing, and fundraising materials. As a member of the Rotary Club of Saint Paul, Michael-jon Pease hosted a Rotation Day that brought Rotarians to tour and learn about the theatre, and gave a program at a more intimate Thursday meeting.

Outcome: diverse new audiences throughout the state of Minnesota will have the opportunity to experience Ragamala’s unique artistic work and encounter the arts and culture of India. Minnesota’s Indian community will have the opportunity to see its own artistic traditions presented as a vital part of our state’s vibrant cultural environment. This will support Minnesota State Arts Board objectives: the arts thrive in Minnesota and people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Ragamala evaluates the quality of our programs based on feedback from participants and community partners. We evaluate our ability to reach new audiences and integrate the arts into the community in new ways by examining attendance, demographics of attendees, and whether or not we have engaged new partners. New partners in 2012-13 included the Northfield Senior Wellness Center, Division Street Dance School, four Minnesota elementary schools and local amateur percussionist Balaji Chandran. Feedback included, I really loved it when [students] immediately reacted with their hands when the demonstration explained how words are formed by the hands in the dance, (South Elementary, St Peter, Minnesota) Professional, exciting to watch, and related well to children. The students and staff loved the performance! (Cowern Elementary, North St Paul) The instructors were AMAZING. They were so knowledgeable, such professionals, so well-prepared. (Cowles Center Distance Learning Program). 2: To continue to expand our outreach programs, which bring our work directly to Minnesota communities through free performances, workshops, and residencies at K-12 schools, universities, libraries, museums, parks, senior citizens’ homes, and workplaces. Outcome: audiences underserved due to geographic, socioeconomic, or perceptual barriers will have first-hand arts experiences and be exposed to the arts and culture of India. Youth and adults will learn about the arts and culture of India and build skills necessary to communicate across boundaries of ethnicity, nationality, and religion. This will support Minnesota State Arts Board objectives: the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life and people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. As noted above, we evaluate outreach programs based on feedback, attendance, demographics of attendees, and whether or not we have engaged new artistic and organizational partners. Our partnership with the Bloomington Center for the Arts was new this year, and feedback included OH MY WORD!!! Words cannot express how BEAUTIFUL EVERYTHING was!

(Sabes Jewish Community Center staff) According to audience surveys, attendees at our 2013 world premiere of 1,001 Buddhas: Journey of the Gods at Minneapolis' Cowles Center came from eighteen Minnesota counties. Approximately 14% identified as Indian, 6% African American, 3% Native American, 3% Middle Eastern, 66% White, and 9% selected Other.","The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life: Ragamala is nationally recognized as a model for creative community outreach. In addition to extensive activities in K-12 schools, we look beyond this traditional model in order to weave our presence into the fabric of Minnesota communities in innovative ways. We partner with museums, libraries, senior centers, cultural festivals, hospitals, public agencies, places of worship and workplaces, custom-designing activities to suit the needs of each constituency. Highlights of the 2012-13 season include dance workshops for the Northfield Senior Wellness Center and Division Street Dance School in Northfield, an informal concert/jam session by our world renowned artists with community-based South Asian percussionists, and a performance by advanced students of the Ragamala School at the City of Minneapolis' Secret City/Hidden Places festival, as well as thirteen educational performances in K-12 schools in the Greater Twin Cities and St Peter. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate: Ragamala actively works to bring our programs directly to audiences that are underserved due to geographic, socioeconomic, cultural, physical, and perceived barriers. 2012-13 examples include: 234 people took advantage of highly subsidized tickets to Sacred Earth at the Bloomington Center for the Arts, providing a high-quality, affordable and geographically accessible experience to suburban audiences in a difficult economy. 375 youth and seniors (from four 4 local schools and Sabes Jewish Community Center) attended a free matinee and took advantage of free busing. Educational performances in Minnesota schools reached an additional 2,734. The Ragamala School (where 90% of students are young Indian girls) provides a high standard of training to the next generation of Bharatanatyam dancers in Minnesota, while instilling confidence, self-esteem, and the value of hard work, and providing role models of strong, successful Indian women.

Outcomes include: Nash Gallery will research and present an exhibition that situates Minnesota feminist art history within a national context. Feminist Art: Then and Now will be presented January-February 2013. Beginning spring 2012, Nash Gallery will reach out to art and history teachers at the 875 high schools in Minnesota and offer their students gallery tours with members of the research and curatorial teams organizing the exhibition. Regarding the outreach to high schools, we had hoped for a total attendance of 450 for the gallery tours. But a statistical evaluation showed that we came short of our 450 goal; we provided tours to 210 high school students. The schools are dealing with their budget limitations; even though we offered the gallery tours free of charge, they had to cover the cost of their own transportation. While we can't fund their transportation, we will continue the outreach efforts, to build and grow these relationships so that the Department of Art and Nash Gallery become a future priority. We are working with the Art Educators of Minnesota to try and bring the annual Scholastic Art Awards to the Regis Center for Art, beginning in February 2015. 2: Support experimentation and excellence by Minnesota artists. As an outcome, Nash Gallery will research and organize a group exhibition of Minnesota artists whose varied and experimental sensibilities investigate conceptions of culture, experience, and perceived value. Minnesota Funk will be presented December 2012-January 2013. The exhibition and public programs were very successful, according to our evaluation of the attendance and the community and media response. Janice Lane-Ewart, the curator of The Collective Eye program on Radio KFAI, invited Chris Larson and Herman Milligan on the radio program, to hear the selected jazz music and discuss the artworks. In her review for the Star Tribune (Minnesota Artists Not So Woebegon) Mary Abbe wrote, As an alternative to Minnesota's tradition of keenly observed landscapes, 'Funk' plumbs quirky psychic byways. In his review for Minnesota Monthly, Gregory Scott wrote, The list of exhibitors is pretty much a varsity line up of iconic contemporary artists working in our state. For the Walker Art Center blog Sarah Peters wrote of Larson's video, What begins as a simple recording of the artist working in his studio becomes a fascinating set of events that upturn the viewer's perception of the reality created by the camera. One of our visitors wrote to us, Wonderful idea. I like the threads that link the artworks. Great diversity of media.","As planned, we presented the exhibition The House We Built: Feminist Art Then and Now January 22 through February 23, 2013. The exhibition was presented in the Nash Gallery and included about seventy artists; most of them were Minnesota artists who had been part of the Women Artists Registry of Minnesota in the 1970s, and some were national artists. We also presented a companion exhibition of work by Josephine Lutz Rollins who taught at the Department of Art for nearly thirty years, along with students who had received the Josephine Lutz Rollins Fellowship that is awarded to a female graduate student each year. We had an overflow audience for the public lecture by artist Harmony Hammond on January 24, and a live video feed broadcast her lecture to another crowd in the building lobby. We reached out to the high schools as planned, and we were able to arrange a number of gallery tours, but not as many as we'd originally hoped. 2: As planned, we presented the exhibition Minnesota Funk December 4, 2012 through January 12, 2013. The exhibition included work in a variety of media by the following Minnesota artists: Kent Aldrich, Kate Casanova, Perci Chester, Kelly Connole, Jim Dryden, Mary Esch, Frank Gaard, Tom Garrett, Chris Larson, Faye Passow, Lamar Peterson, Sandy Resig, and Jenny Schmid. As we hoped, the exhibition provided a platform for artistic experimentation. For example, Frank Gaard asked us to curate a selection of his drawings and format the works as a digital sketchbook running to 250 pages. We presented Chris Larson's architectural video Heavy Rotation as a room-size projection, surrounded by his carved sculptures. We had two public programs: a reception on December 6 for the artists and the public, and an evening of jazz curated by Herman Milligan on December 11. The musical selections he curated were inspired by the themes in the gallery artworks.

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

As we offer more programming, our expenses go up. To combat this, we need to find ways to generate more revenue and reduce unnecessary spending. In 2012-2013, we will operate on a balanced budget and meet all budgeted areas by fiscal year’s end. We evaluated this goal by carefully breaking down each budget area with our board of directors, and we used applicable expense reports, receipts, and statements to compare projections to actual totals. We will use this information as we prepare future budgets to make sure our projections are as close to actual figures as we can get them, and we will meet regularly to adjust and refine numbers, as needed, to ensure we are operating in balance. 2: We will expand and build new audiences for quality arts programming in our regional community. Because we believe the arts to be a part of who we are and a defining characteristic of our community, we want to extend an invitation to all persons to take part in an event at our center. To that end, we will increase the size of our patron database to over 14,000 by the end of 2012-2013. We have dedicated software which we use to monitor, track and report all patron activity, donations, attendance, etc., and we used this software to document and evaluate the increase in our overall patron records.","Most areas of our budget came out as expected, but we had a serious decline in ticket sales from the previous year and did not meet budgeted projections in that area. A rash of inclement weather in our busiest part of the year (December-March) caused our projected ticket sales for marquee events to come up short. Because of this, we ended up about $50,000 off our estimated level. We have diligently reevaluated all sales projection techniques and will use this information to create much closer projections for next year's ticket sales. 2: We achieved this goal, with our patron database now at 14,065. We feel this is a reflection of our increased outreach to areas on the outskirts of our direct community, and also a testament to the programming that we are presenting. While ticket sales were lower than anticipated, our extension of free/reduced fee tickets this year helped to introduce many new people to the arts in our area.

The solo exhibition and critical essay continue to be firsts in each artist's career.

This success has not been limited to mains productions, as classes and camps have also seen increased participation, and more scholarships have been given than ever before. 2: SteppingStone Theatre has produced six mainstage productions within the grant period, four of which were commissioned by SteppingStone, and two of which were world premieres of works by local playwrights. The grant period included an American classic (Adventures of Tom Sawyer); a beloved holiday classic (The Best Christmas Pageant Ever); a true story from the civil rights era (Ruby! The Story of Ruby Bridges); a music and dance review (Kickin' It Irish); a musical based upon Japanese folktales and tradition of Taiko (Heartbeat of the Drum); and a work based upon works by beloved children's author Jon Scieszka (The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and the Frog Prince Continued).

Weavers Guild of Minnesota plans to focus on re-imagining what it means to be a member (supporter, student, or instructor) of our organization. Goals: remain relevant today and in the future; study and develop a revitalized benefits program; use technology to reach and communicate with an expanded community; and create an ongoing channel of support to ensure sustained arts programming. Outcomes: report data numbers, proximity/location, and demographics. Membership activities respondents were most interested in following: 93-96% classes and workshops; 22-32% member meetings with speakers; 7-32% Fiber Fair; and 11-29% study groups. While classes and workshops and Fiber Fair were also mentioned, our strong education program and Fiber Fair will continue; a core curriculum review is being led by the Education Committee, and the annual member sale will take place at the Northrup King Building in 2013. To address the other major areas of interest the Membership Chair developed a timeline and objectives to meet the following needs: with the surveys capturing data related to skills/abilities for participation and more weekend activities, Weavers Guild has changed the name of its study groups to ‘interest groups’; developed a new group that will focus on building relationships with newer weavers or those not familiar with our activities. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Weavers Guild of Minnesota plans to continue its strong educational programming. Goals: explore satellite locations and have a broader presence through the metro area; increase capacity and audience reach (students, individuals, artists) in all ages and skill levels in communities that normally do not have access to our unique art form and resources. Outcomes: increase accessibility and engage underserved populations through data tracking, resource development, and evaluation. Weavers Guild of Minnesota's Operations Manager has completed Associate Management Software training, imported old database information, and launched the organization's new Associate Management Software system and website. These initiatives also included planning for communications, such as the weekly online member newsletter, The Draft, and student and instructor course details. Members and broader audience can now register for classes and workshops online. Weavers Guild members also have the capacity to log-in to renew their membership, update contact information, or access the member directory. We formed an ad hoc task group to develop and plan the content for a members-only forum and section of the Web site. Highlights of this unique function will allow for more direct communication and a photo sharing feature, as well as a platform for individuals to request/discuss ride-sharing options or who is interested in forming a private group lesson. A Web cam can reach others remotely for meetings or informational sessions.","Weavers Guild of Minnesota's plan of re-imagining what it means to be a member resulted in designing two online surveys and collecting data from newer and former members. We received responses from 15% of newer members and 10% from former members. The survey asked a series of questions related to joining/membership in the organization, interest(s), organization involvement/participation, interactions with social networking, communication, and proximity/location. When asked, Why did you join? respondents mentioned the following (highest to lowest): to learn about weaving, spinning and dyeing, to connect with other people interested in fiber [arts], class tuition discount, and [interest in] equipment. We learned that 55% of respondents registered for a class at the same time they signed up to be a member, while 38% took a class(es) before joining the organization. Demographics: 93% female, and 7% male; Age: 46%: 46-60; 39%: 61-75; 13%: 30-45. 2: Weavers Guild of Minnesota's plan to remain relevant today and in the future involved using technology to reach and communicate with its community. In March 2013, we acquired and implemented Associate Management Software, and other supporting technology to upgrade our database and that system's capacity to interact with our Web site and accounting software. With an increase in online readership and a growing and active Web audience, Weavers Guild has technologically positioned itself to move the organization in a positive, engaging direction. The efficiencies and integration of these systems frees up staff to benefit other organization programs (Outreach, Education, Membership and Development).",,126185,Other,140683,14498,"Donna Gravesen, Peggy Baldwin, Geri Retzlaff, Cathie Mayr, Ellen Richard, Peter Withoff, Steve Pauling, Jere Thompson, Jackie Lind, Gayle Groebner, Jan Hayman",,"Weavers Guild of Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Linda,Hansen,"Weavers Guild of Minnesota","3000 University Ave SE Ste 110",Minneapolis,MN,55414,"(612) 436-0463 ",lhansen@weaversguildmn.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Blue Earth, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, McLeod, Nicollet, Nobles, Olmsted, Ramsey, Rice, St. Louis, Scott, Sherburne, Stearns, Wadena, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-287,"Lawrence Burnett: Choral director and professor of music, Carleton College.; Sunny Chanthanouvong: Executive director, Lao Assistance Center.

Though the administrative portion of this interim work will not be paid for with ARAC funds, the admin staff here are also artists who have lost income due to COVID. Every single person who is working in admin or opera creation for the coming weeks with LOON is a professional artist. Our efforts in the coming months will focus on staying connected with our artists, volunteers, and patrons, while making new friends for opera and for LOON. We will track engagement with social media posts and emails, as well as donations and responses to various appeals through our CRM. We will continue to work to maintain high artistic standards in our online offerings, as we do in our live productions. Success will look like an engaged patron base and continued production of high quality opera in traditional and new formats. Success will look like the ability to offer contracts to artists for upcoming productions because we are healthy enough to move forward and create.","Lyric Opera of the North co-created the Decameron Opera Coalition with 8 other companies and premiered the DOC's first opera, Tales from a Safe Distance, in October 2020.

","Otter Cove Children's Museum was ready for its grand opening when COVID struck in March 2020. Our team immediately went into survival mode and began fundraising to pay for our rent, unsure how long we would have to remain closed. It was a painful feeling, knowing how isolated everyone was and that we had a fully completed, state-of-the-art children's museum in the heart of downtown, just waiting for visitors to come play. Starting in July 2020, we began hosting private rentals with no more than 40 people at a time. We also gave private tours to our amazingly supportive donors who were anxious to see the completed space. The response was incredible. Friends would join together to rent the space just so their kids could play. We started tracking zip codes and realized how far people were traveling to play at Otter Cove, even during a pandemic. We held a series of open-air art classes in the Maker Shop; these were some of the only children's and adult programs available during the summer and fall of 2020. We are proud that we could offer creative opportunities for our community while following COVID safety protocol. Despite the pandemic, we achieved our goal of becoming a regional gathering ground for children and families. We are also proud of Otter Cove's impact on the local economy. Often when guests leave the museum, they ask staff for recommendations of great local restaurants. If a child is having a difficult time leaving Otter Cove, caregivers will often tempt them with a trip to Uncle Eddie's Ice Cream, just down the street from Otter Cove.

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

The RFP, Program Manual, and all grant agreements incorporate appropriate principles and criteria from the L-SOHC's 2010 Call for Funding Requests and associated legislation. Applications were accepted electronically for two grant rounds. Any ungranted funds from the first cycle were available for use in following cycles. Applications were submitted electronically using CPL's Online Grant Application System (OLGA). All project sites were mapped using OLGA's mapping tool. OLGA accepted applications beginning in August, 2010 until the deadline for the first round of grants in mid-September, 2010. The application system did not accept applications during the review process. OLGA was re-activated in December, 2010 mid-February, 2011 to accept applications for a second round of grants. CPL Grant Program Staff reviewed applications to make sure they were complete and met grant program requirements. Technical Review Committee(s), selected by the Commissioner of Natural Resources reviewed and scored applications based on criteria established by the L-SOHC, MN State Legislature and DNR. These committees include representatives from DNR, BWSR, the University of MN, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and other appropriate members from both government and non-profit organizations. A final ranking committee made up of the Chief Financial Officer, and Directors of the DNR Divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Ecological Resources/Waters, and Forestry recommended projects and funding levels to the Commissioner of Natural Resources. The Commissioner made the final decision on the projects funded and funding levels. Projects may be fully or partially funded. Every effort was made to evenly distribute the selected grants by geographic location, activity, and funding level, with an objective of granting 50% of the funds to projects above $125,000, and 50% of the funds to projects below $125,000. CPL Grant Program staff work with grantees to ensure financial reviews, grant agreements, and any other necessary paperwork are completed. Work may not begin until the grant is executed. Project Reviews and Reporting Project reviews are completed as required by Office of Grants Management Policy 08-10, Monitoring. Grantees report accomplishments on a CPL Report Form by September 1 of each year. Reports must account for the use of grant and match funds, and outcomes in measures of wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat restored, enhanced, and protected. The report must include an evaluation of these results. A final report was required by all grantees 30 days after project completion. CPL Grant Program staff compile grantee reports and submit an annual accomplishment report to the L-SOHC by January 15 February 1 and October 15 August 1 of each year. This report contains information on the number of agreements made, amount of reimbursement paid to grantees, accomplishments by grantees, number and status of remaining open agreements, and administrative costs. Accomplishment information is also be posted on L-SOHC and DNR websites. Relationship to Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan and other published resource management plans. This program provides additional funds to enhance, restore, and protect habitat in Minnesota. All published resource management and species plans?including the Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan?recognize that habitat is critical for the success of Minnesota's fish and wildlife species. Lack of funding is consistently listed in many plans as one of the largest issues limiting the amount of habitat work and protection that is completed each year. In the Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan, habitat restoration and enhancement is specified in the following priorities: H1: Protect priority land habitats (pg 63) H2: Protect critical shorelands of streams and lakes (pg 67) H4: Restore and protect shallow lakes (pg 78) H5: Restore land, wetlands, and associated wetlands (pg 80) H7: Keep water on the landscape (pg 84) LU 8: Protect large blocks of forested land (pg 130) L10: Support and expand sustainable practices on working forested lands (pg 131) Other plans that list habitat restoration, enhancement and protection as priorities include: Tomorrow's Habitat for the Wild and Rare (Minnesota's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy), which identifies habitat loss and degradation as the primary problem facing species in greatest conservation need in Minnesota. The State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan Strategies #1 and 2. The DNR's Division of Fish and Wildlife has several key plans identifying acquisition and habitat goals for fish and wildlife populations. Habitat goals are also addressed through more focused plans and programs that can be found on the DNR's website. National plans include the North American Wetland Management Plan, various Joint Venture Plans, National Fish Habitat Initiative, and all the Bird Conservation Plans. Non-governmental conservation agencies such as Ducks Unlimited, The Nature Conservancy, and Audubon Minnesota have developed their own conservation plans that list habitat restoration, enhancement and protection as a priority.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. Social or human service organizations use arts to help achieve their service goals. Perceived or real barriers to participation are addressed. To evaluate the learning, we hired an evaluation consultant, Blue Sky Consulting, to help create a tool measuring the effect of Monkey Mind Pirates language, characters, and concepts on participating youth. We embedded a reflective drawing activity into program activities. Jointly designed by Z Puppets and Blue Scarf, the “Map to My Island of Calm” instrument allowed participants to reflect in two ways. First, they were instructed to make a map to their Island of Calm, expressing and creating their definitions of calm using the 5 senses. Then, they were instructed to turn the map over and write or draw responses to three reflective questions about how they will know when they need calm, what obstacles might arise and how to deal with those challenges. In the surveys and in-person after the show, parents and guardians commented that their children were sharing these techniques and using the language of Monkey Mind Pirates with them at home to talk about stress.","The Mankato Family YMCA, in partnership with Z Puppets Rosenschnoz and the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota, provided 25 low-income youth ages 6-12 with free enrollment in a week-long, multi-disciplinary arts and yoga Monkey Mind Pirates camp, culminating in a public performance. Eighteen of the twenty-five participants were also participants in the YMCA’s Brother/Sister mentoring program that matches at-risk youth with adults to increase their self-confidence, social and communication skills, positive behaviors and help improve relationships at home, school and within the community. Each day, the artists led the participants through sessions combining music, puppetry and mindfulness. With project funds, the YMCA was able to provide each participant with a daily lunch and snack and arranged transportation upon request. Each participant also received a Monkey Mind Pirates CD, workbook, yoga mat, and the puppets they created. Our goal was to provide these children with effective tools for overcoming stress that they can use for the rest of their lives. Most of the kids in the Brother/Sister program are considered “at-risk” because they struggle with extremely difficult circumstances on a daily basis. Many of the participants come from single-parent homes and live below the poverty level. They often do not get the same opportunities as their peers because of financial constraints and lack of transportation. The adult mentors are often looking for activities they can do with the children that will have lasting positive impact. From the YMCA’s experience with this and similar programs, we identified and found temporary solutions for the following barriers: Transportation: the Y provided free transportation to anyone who requested it; Economic: funding made the program free for all participants; Nourishment: lunches and snacks were provided for all participants; Education about stress: Monkey Mind Pirates workshop content provided basic information about specific forms of stress frequently encountered by children, and skills to effectively deal with them. The skills were taught and practiced each day and included yoga, meditation, self awareness and breathing. 2: The project created a partnership between the Mankato Family YMCA, the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota and Z Puppets Rosenschnoz. The YMCA managed the registration and coordination of facilities, transportation and lunches, in addition to marketing support. The Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota provided marketing support, including info about the camp and public performance in their newsletters, social media and posters on site. An intern from Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota also served as a stage manager for the camp and performance to provide continuity for the youth participants. The Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota also provided activities for the youth participants for a pre-show pizza party and also pre-show arts activities for the public in the lobby.

The final evaluation report will be completed in May. Mentors were also asked to complete an evaluation that included detailed narrative questions as well as their assessment of their mentees' progress and preparation as a teaching artist in an older adult setting or working with elders. Four of five mentors gave their experience the highest rating possible (very satisfied), with the other identifying it as satisfactory. Collectively, the mentors identified ten artist-participants--more than one-third—whom they believe capable of moving into a master trainer role.","Held five Introduction to Aging Workshops during the final week of October 2013 that attracted 292 participants (exceeding goal). Sites included Fergus Falls, Grand Rapids, Austin, St. Cloud and Minneapolis. Key presenters included Jeanne Bayer, Andrea Lewandowski, Joey Clark, Jeanie Brindley-Barnett and Jane Tygesson. Evaluations on site and given via follow up email survey were overwhelmingly positive. Respondents noted how critical is was to get foundational knowledge that combined arts learning with key information about the aging process -- as well as new research documenting the positive impact of professionally-conducted arts activities for elders. In addition to actual participation numbers, pre-and post- assessments were used at all training activities. A follow-up survey (via Survey Monkey) was created and distributed to Intro to Arts and Aging workshop participants that asked questions about critical learning areas, what content could be added, facilities and pacing, and whether their community would be interested in hosting a subsequent conference. 2: 55 individual artists and 18 arts organizations applied; 30 artists and 8 arts organizations were selected to participate. Of this group, 26 artists and 7 arts organizations completed the training program. A majority are female, reflecting the large number of females to males in the applicant pool. More than 10 percent are artists of color—a proportion that we believe is commensurate with the larger artist/teaching artist population. As a group, they represent a variety of ages, both chronological age and 'career age,' ranging from their 20s to late 60s; in terms of discipline, about half work with visual arts; slightly more than one -third in theatre arts; and the balance in dance, music, literary arts, or film. Arts organizations included two from Greater Minnesota and five from the Twin Cities metro. Participant summary survey data is appended here. For the arts organization evaluation (still underway), ArtSage contracted with an evaluator from the National Center for Creative Aging to develop and implement a logic model for the arts organization track. Master trainer and mentor Jane Tygesson is also conducting site visits for each participating organization. Preliminary results indicate that 90% of the participant teams rated the training excellent or very good.",,28429,"Other, local or private",128429,,"Kristin Aitchison, Brad Ballenger, Jane Breest, Gil Kiekenapp, Gyni Koshak, Laura Merriam, Catherine Sullivan, Dawne B White",0.00,"Minnesota Creative Arts and Aging Network AKA ArtSage","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Partnership Grant",,"Complete a second phase of professional development initiative that will nourish and benefit both the artistic and aging communities by preparing and training 168 Minnesota artists and arts organizations to expand arts opportunities for aging Minnesotans, increase artists /arts organizations understanding of qualities, characteristics, and dimensions unique to the aging population.",2013-06-01,2014-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tammy,Hauser,"Minnesota Creative Arts and Aging Network AKA ArtSage","155 E Lake St Ste 206",Wayzata,MN,55391,"(612) 578-0952 ",tammy@artsagemn.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Ramsey, Hennepin, Dakota, Washington, Itasca, Blue Earth, Stearns, Otter Tail, Sherburne, St. Louis, Beltrami, Big Stone",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/partnership-grant-2,"Judson Bemis Jr.: Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

Contact: grants@mnhs.org","We believe that our project achieved its intended impacts. Short-Term Impacts The most immediate, and most important impact of this project has been the sharing of information about the Chert Quarry with a diverse audience outside of the professional community. The first stage of the project was conducted as part of Hamline University's annual archaeological field school. Field school students, including some who were not Anthropology majors, had an opportunity to participate in the process of spatial and GPR data collection and learn about the archaeological and cultural dimensions of the site from previous researchers and cultural experts. During both its first and second stages, the project was supported by the efforts of local volunteers who participated in various aspects of the field investigations. Although many of these individuals have made long-term contributions to research at the quarry, this project was an opportunity to share new information with them. Finally, an unexpected short-term impact resulted from an invitation to contribute a brief summary of the project to The Archaeological Conservancy's magazine, American Archaeology. This summary was written by Dinneen and will be published in the Field Notes section of the Fall issue of The Archaeological Conservancy's magazine bringing information about the project to a wider audience of avocational archaeologists and the interested public. Intermediate-Term Impacts On a longer timeframe, the project has produced information that will be useful to researchers and site managers. Much of this information is now securely stored in the form of easily shared, electronic data including site maps, raw and processed GPR data, soil descriptions from the test excavation, and the inventory and description of the lithic assemblage recovered during the same. This assemblage has been prepared for curation to the standards of the Mower County Historical Society and will be permanently stored at the Mower County Historical Society where it will be available to researchers. The results of the GPR survey strongly indicate the presence of subsurface features in both the cultivated and uncultivated portions of the preserve. This was supported by test excavation within the south grid in the restored prairie area. Excavation also revealed information about the depth of cultivation, the distribution of artifacts within the plow zone and soil conditions, which may be useful for the interpretation of GPR data collected in the future. Analysis of the artifacts recovered during test excavation provides a useful contribution to the developing understanding of lithic extraction and reduction at the site. Long-Term Impacts The most important long-term impact of this project has been to demonstrate the likelihood that GPR is an effective research tool at the Grand Meadow Chert Quarry. HUCAS staff plans to prepare and submit for publication, a professional paper describing these results. We hope that this outcome will motivate additional evaluation of this potentially important technology at the Grand Meadow Chert Quarry and facilitate continuing research at this important site.",,3970,"Available upon request, grants@mnhs.org",11923,,"Ellen Watters, Reuben Moore, John Packard, Jennifer Keil, Paul Ablan, Phillip K.

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

Offers to landowners were based on appraised values and seemed to be competitive with the market at the time. Most projects were closed early in the project period, and therefore the agricultural land boom of 2012 seemed to have little affect on our ability to secure parcels. Parcels were identified in conjunction with DNR wildlife professionals and based on criteria in addition to minimum WMA standards that included: habitat restoration potential, landscape scale significance, presence of significant natural communities, future expansion potential, and multiple benefit analysis.In total, $2,969,300 of Outdoor Heritage Funds were matched with $862,500 of non-state funding to complete this work. Striving to build upon past investments in wildlife habitat conservation and landscape level habitat complexes that protect and sustain wildlife populations, 4 of the 5 parcels are additions to existing WMAs or are adjacent to existing permanently protected lands. All parcels acquired have been restored and/or enhanced to as a high quality as practicable. All agricultural row crops on these parcels have been restored to native grassland/wetland complexes. The grasslands were restored using a broadcast or drill seeded method with a diverse mix of native grasses and forb species. 15 acres of native prairie have been protected and all parcels have been opened for public use. In addition, 66 acres of grassland enhancements were completed on an existing WMA in Chippewa County. These restored and permanently protected acres will provide critical habitat for breeding/migrating waterfowl as reproductive and winter habitat for grassland game and non game species.",2009-07-01,2012-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Joe,Pavelko,"Pheasants Forever","7975 Acorn Circle ",Victoria,None,55386,6125323800,jpavelko@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Benton, Brown, Chippewa, Freeborn, Goodhue, Lincoln, Lyon, McLeod, Mower, Nobles, Pipestone, Redwood, Rock, Scott, Sibley, Stearns, Stevens, Stevens","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/prairie-heritage-fund-acquisition-and-restoration,,,,

A list of proposed fee title acquisitions and a list of proposed restoration projects, describing the types and locations of restorations, must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. The commissioner of natural resources must agree in writing to each proposed acquisition. All restorations must comply with subdivision 9, paragraph(b).",,"1020 acres",,525000,non-state,3015000,,,,"Pheasants Forever","Non-Profit Business/Entity","This program will protect 900 acres of priority prairie grassland, wetland habitat, and native remnant prairie (if available) as state wildlife management areas (WMA). In addition, acquired lands will be restored and/or enhanced to prairie and/or wetland habitat. Once complete, these WMAs will provide quality grassland/wetland habitat complexes that will benefit a myriad of game and non-game species and will provide public recreational opportunities for the citizens of Minnesota. ","The threats to wildlife habitat in the farmland regions of Minnesota are constant and increasing. Development pressures from urbanization, industry (e.g. wind, gravel) and agriculture put our existing habitats in constant jeopardy. Minnesota is also losing significant acreage of grassland habitat (approximately 70,000 acres last year) in the farmland region of Minnesota due to expiring CRP contracts. Now it is even more urgent to provide the vital permanent, high quality habitat complexes on a landscape level to protect and maintain wildlife populations. In addition, providing a place for Minnesotans to hunt, trap, fish and otherwise recreate in the outdoors are urgent needs, and needs we can deliver right now. To help slow and reverse the loss of habitat and declining wildlife populations, Pheasants Forever and our partners will protect (fee acquisition from willing sellers) 900 acres of high priority grassland, wetland habitat, and native remnant prairie (if available) as state wildlife management areas (WMA). Striving to build landscape level habitat complexes that will protect and sustain wildlife populations, 17 of the 20 potential projects are additions to existing WMA's and all projects have been developed in consultation with the local DNR managers. DNR Commissioner approval will be received for any project funded under this proposal.? All acquired lands will be restored and/or enhanced. Acquired croplands will be restored to diverse grasslands and wetlands to the fullest extent. Enhancement to existing prairie grasslands and wetlands will also occur as determined by the DNR Manager and PF Biologists. Enhancements could include undesirable woody vegetation removal, water control structure installation, inter-seeding within grasslands to increase diversity and structure, managed grazing, invasive species control, or any other activity that improves the diversity and health of the prairie-wetland habitat complex. We will use as diverse of a seed mixture as reasonable for the site to achieve diversity and quality functional habitat using plants native to Minnesota. Pheasants Forever's network of 76 Minnesota chapters and 24,000 members have been actively involved in protecting and restoring lands in partnership with the Minnesota DNR for 27 years. Wildlife Management Areas have proven to be an invaluable tool in protecting and sustaining habitat and the myriad of species that call them home. WMA's provide many recreational opportunities and are enjoyed by thousands of Minnesotans every year. ","Accomplishment PlanWorking with numerous partners throughout the state of Minnesota, Pheasants Forever acquired 1,020.7 acres of land from willing sellers within the project area of Minnesota. These lands have been enrolled into the state Wildlife Management Area (WMA) System and will be protected and managed in perpetuity by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. In addition, these newly acquired WMAs will provide public access and recreational opportunities for ALL Minnesotans, so fundamentally important to our outdoor heritage.More specifically, a total of 9 parcels were acquired within Mower, Dakota, McLeod, Pope, Wright, Pipestone, Kandiyohi and Todd Counties. A total of 10 landowners were presented with offers and PF was successful in securing 9 of those parcels (90% success rate). Offers to landowners were based on appraised values and seemed to be competitive with the market at the time. Most projects were closed early enough in the project period, and therefore the agricultural land boom of 2012 seemed to have little affect on our ability to secure parcels. Parcels were identified in conjunction with DNR wildlife professionals and based on criteria in addition to minimum WMA standards that included: habitat restoration potential, landscape scale significance, presence of significant natural communities, future expansion potential, and multiple benefit analysis.In total, $3,014,821.38 of Outdoor Heritage Funds were matched with $501,571.03 of non-state funding to complete this work. We are slightly short of our match goal on this appropriation ($23,428.97). However, when looking at all of our WMA acceleration appropriations, we currently are exceeding our match goals by over $425,000 and expect that number to grow.Striving to build upon past investments in wildlife habitat conservation and landscape level habitat complexes that protect and sustain wildlife populations, 6 of the 9 parcels are additions to existing WMAs or are adjacent to existing permanently protected lands. All parcels acquired have been restored and/or enhanced to as a high quality as practicable. All agricultural row crops on these parcels have been restored to native grassland/wetland complexes. The grasslands were restored using a broadcast or drill seeded method with a diverse mix of native grasses and forb species. Wetlands were restored using a combination of tile breaking, sediment removal, dike construction, and water control structures. 45 acres of native prairie have been protected, and all parcels have been opened for public use.",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Joe,Pavelko,"Pheasants Forever","7975 Acorn Circle ",Victoria,None,55386,6125323800,jpavelko@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Benton, Chippewa, Dakota, Goodhue, Lincoln, McLeod, Meeker, Mower, Pipestone, Pope, Redwood, Stearns, Todd, Todd","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/prairie-heritage-fund-acquisition-and-restoration-0,,,,

Coordinated dataset of Geographic Information Systems analysis of land use along the project corridor. Integration of implementation strategies into County Comprehensive Local Water Management Plans. Increased future coordination and effective cooperation between the MHB and member counties ","Data Collection Summary: - GIS data from all eight counties. - Discussions with and/or have received data from DNR fisheries, DNR Ecological Services, Mississippi Parkway Commission, Minnesota Land Trust, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, MN Department of Agriculture/Health, MPCA, Camp Ripley, U.S Census Bureau, and others. - Overall, it is estimated that over 90% of the readily available data has been collected. Data Analysis: There are a number of map overlays that we will be generating. Some of the potential overlays that we are envisioning at this point include: - Public vs. Private Land - Existing Conservation Easements - Population Density & Growth Patterns - Feedlots - Ecological Sensitive Areas - Impaired / Infested Waters - Slope Comparison - Wetland / Upland Area Analysis will be conducted both at the catchment level (which is the smallest watershed unit available) and within the MHB corridor.

Working in cooperation with the eight member counties, this project will develop implementation plans and strategies geared specifically for the Mississippi River and incorporate them into the individual County Comprehensive Local Water Plans. These recommendations will be for specific strategies, often crossing county boundaries for implementation. The Headwaters project will gather existing water quality data to determine river water quality over time. Electronically available land use information will be gathered and coordinated among all eight counties along the river. Together, this information will help identify two main types of areas along the river where water quality is showing degradation, and areas that are critical to long-term water quality protection. With this type of priority information in hand, the MHB and the member counties can coordinate funding strategies for targeted, effective implementation of conservation practices that take advantage of future Clean Water Land and Legacy funding opportunities as well as providing greater coordination among the counties on planning and applying existing land use authority.

Efforts are underway to try and reverse this trend. One of those efforts - led by Project Get Outdoors, Inc. - is working to implement a program that reconnects Minnesota children in grades K-8 to nature exploration and outdoor recreation utilizing our public lands. Using this appropriation, Project Get Outdoors, Inc. created 50 toolkits and five equipment trunks with supplies that encourage over 100 safe, after-school activities that get kids out in nature. Activities include insect collection, themed hikes, geo-caching, and fishing. These toolkits are available free of charge to interested communities in southern Minnesota by Project GO coordinators along with training for community volunteers on how to start and sustain their own unique programs. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Project GO has developed a toolkit to help local communities design, implement, evaluate, and sustain free after-school and summer programs that introduce children to nearby public lands and outdoor activities and skills they can enjoy at these sites. Through funds from the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, Project GO was able to assemble 50 Activity Backpacks and 32 Equipment Trunks for Project GO program leaders to use in their communities. Each program leader is issued a backpack to keep during their involvement with the Project GO program. The Activity Backpacks provide basic supplies to help leaders implement 100 or more different outdoor games, projects, and activities. The Equipment Trunks focus on 16 different activities and are available for Project GO leaders to check out for free. These trunks are housed at Whitewater State Park for use in SE Minnesota and we anticipate the other set of 16 trunks will be housed out of Minneopa State Park for use by Project GO clubs in SW Minnesota. At the time of this report, 14 backpacks have been issued. Equipment trunks are beginning to be checked out. Program leaders are excited to have these resources and so far, feedback has been very positive. The children are happy to have more diverse equipment and supplies to use while learning about the outdoors. We plan to evaluate the usefulness of these resources over the coming year via a program leader survey. One obstacle we are looking at is getting the equipment trunks to and from program sites that are farther from the storage site. We are hoping to develop a network of volunteer ""runners"" who would be reimbursed mileage for delivering and returning the equipment trunks when a GO site in a community such as Red Wing or Spring Grove desires to check out a trunk. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The completed Activity Backpacks have already been issued to 14 sites. We will continue to help communities design Project GO programs that are unique as well as work with local staff at community organizations such as youth centers, school age child care programs, and other after school sites to introduce children in those programs to nature through our toolkit resources. Since completing the assembly of the 50 Activity Backpacks and 32 Equipment Trunks, Project GO has formed a partnership with local public health and child care resource professionals to look at implementing our program into the larger child care centers that serve school age children during the after school hours. We are currently piloting this at a child care center in Caledonia and looking to work with two child care centers in Rochester. We will train the school age room staff at these centers to use our backpacks at least once a week. As an incentive for them to use the backpacks and journal their experiences, Project GO will provide a person to come out to their site no more than once a month to lead a hands-on nature activity using one of the Equipment Trunks. This new approach with child care centers will allow us to serve many more children. Project GO will be presenting at an upcoming Focus on the Child conference in Rochester, sharing this information with child care providers from across the southern region. A number of colleges and college professors in SE Minnesota have expressed enthusiasm to connect their students to service learning, internship, and practicum experiences with Project GO. We have found that college students bring great enthusiasm to the program which the children really enjoy and in exchange Project GO is able to provide real world learning experiences for these students. We are already looking to secure additional funds to purchase more backpacks, as we anticipate the first 50 will be issued within a year. The US Fish & Wildlife Service Winona District is eager to help us acquire another batch of backpacks.",,"Final Report",2010-07-01,2010-11-16,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Sara,Grover,"Project Get Outdoors, Inc.","Whitewater State Park, 19041 Hwy 74",Altura,MN,55910,"(507) 951-5885",sara.grover@yahoo.com,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Steele, Wabasha, Winona",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-get-outdoors,,,,

(2) Comments from business owners asking to have Sculpture Walk pocket guides and maps in their place of business is another indication that downtown businesses are experiencing increased foot-traffic and that the public is engaged and showing interest in the project. (3) Although anecdotal, people have commented that they have seen lots of people taking photos of the art as well as ""selfies"" alongside the sculptures. (4) The Sculpture Walk is free to the public reducing economic barriers. Lake George and downtown St Cloud, the sites where the sculpture is located, are accessible to people of all abilities which reduces physical barriers. Both venues can be easily accessed by public transportation reducing economic and geographic obstacles. People in wheelchairs and on motorized scooters have been personally observed at the sculpture sites. (5) Through an attractively designed Call for Artists and a well-developed data base, United Arts attracted 55 Sculpture Walk entries from 26 accomplished artists from the St Cloud area and across Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota. An entry was received from as far away as Miami, Florida.

By providing interesting and relevant art activities on a regular basis, visitors and local community members can engage with artists and new perspectives, leading to an expanded understanding of creativity, difference, and possibility. The majority of our customer base is from rural Central Minnesota. Art in Motion is one of the only, possibly the only, Art focused space that holds regular open hours to the public in a 20 mile radius. Other orgs in the area often have financial barriers or limits on age and ability to attend art programs. 2. By creating a making environment that encourages fun, exploration, play, and creativity, participants will try the project and report having fun or trying something they have not tried before with the artist. 3. Artists will feel valued by how we engage them in the ideation of programming, fair compensation, and collaborative processes. This will be reported in a follow-up survey. Several artists who hosted Art on the Roll in 2021 desired to host an Art on the Roll again in 2022. ; By providing interesting and relevant art activities on a regular basis, visitors and local community members can engage with artists and new perspectives, leading to an expanded understanding of creativity, difference, and possibility. To measure these outcomes, we have a playful interactive rock survey that will gather feedback and data and track newcomers and regular visitors to the program. The artist will also complete a digital closing survey after their project is complete. The artist survey will gather data on the artist's experience as well as offer them an opportunity to share any observations on the participant's experience by noting memorable comments and questions. The artist or the Art Coordinator will tally and track participation with their project, and note return participation as well as any outlier data such as an out-of-state residence or a large group affiliated with another organization such as a school, daycare, biking club, etc. This data will be recorded after each workshop. Other comments and notes will also be compiled including correlating events at Art in Motion, the weather (on a bike trail the weather can greatly affect traffic). The combination of qualitative and quantitative data will help provide a holistic review of the outcomes. The bucket system has 4 pockets with written questions. A digital survey will be made available on an iPad or with a QR code to scan and take the survey. The 4 buckets can be interacted with colored beans in three colors indicating ?yes,? ?kinda/maybe,? and ?no. The questions will be: was this fun, did you learn or try something new today, and have you been to art on a roll before. The last question will be how old are you and where do you live. To answer this question, participants can take a piece of candy and write age and where they live on the wrapper and place it in the bucket (recycled paper slips will also be provided for this question) for those wishing to save their candy or choose not to eat candy. These survey questions will be written in English, Spanish and Somali. The artist instructor will be instructed to encourage survey participation after completing the projects. If/When the Art in Motion representative present for the workshop will assist in encouraging survey participation. The digital QR Code survey will provide more questions for demographic information. The questions are designed to be simple and playful but also allow insight into deeper outcomes like expanded perspectives and creativity. So far in 2022, we have seen an 87% response rate in our bean survey. So far in 2022 we have seen a %40 response rate on the instructor review with a unanimous reporting that they felt valued in their experience as an instructor with the monetary compensation, facility, and as an artist in general. ; We will use a simple 5 question bean bucket survey for participants and a paper or digital survey for instructors","Of the overall respondents of the bean-bucket survey 94% indicated that had fun, 78% learned something new, and 40% were also first time art on the roll participants.

Yet, these systems are highly threatened due to intense shoreland development and non-compatible management. Development and disturbance of Minnesota's remaining sensitive shoreland continues to be a threat identified in many of the State's resource protection plans, including the most recent One Watershed One Plans that are in development across the state. In a refinement of the Minnesota Land Trust's successful Critical Shorelands program (recommended for funding across 5 phases by LSOHC), this proposal focuses on a subset of critical lakeshore systems in northeast and northcentral Minnesota ? Lakes of Outstanding Biological Significance. Although successful conservation programs have emerged around the protection of two statewide lake system priorities ? 1. cisco (tullibee) lake protection by the Northern Waters Land Trust and Minnesota Land Trust, and 2. wild rice lakes by BWSR through the RIM Wild Rice program ? a major gap in protection exists. A third conservation priority, lakes ranked by the Minnesota DNR as having outstanding biodiversity significance, has no protection program specifically targeting it. It is this gap in the state's lake protection toolbox that our proposal aims to fill. To preserve this important component of Minnesota's aquatic natural heritage, MLT proposes to target the top 10% of these ?Lakes of Outstanding Biological Significance? and protect their significant shorelands through conservation easements. These lakes represent the best of the best aquatic and shoreland habitat, and are characterized by exceptional fisheries (both game and non-game), high aquatic plant richness and floristic quality, and populations of endangered or threatened plant species and imperiled lake bird species. This work builds on the past success of MLT's Critical Shorelands Program. Through this proposal, the Land Trust will protect 0.5 miles of threatened shoreland and 216 acres of associated upland habitat by acquiring permanent conservation easements from willing landowners. Project priorities and conservation opportunities will be informed by a combination of GIS analyses to score and rank high-quality target parcels and consultation with local partners. We will continue to target projects that help complete gaps in existing protected land, contain the highest-quality habitat, and provide the greatest leverage to the state. The Land Trust will employ its market-based RFP system for identifying, prioritizing and completing conservation easements in this program area. Outcomes from this project include: 1) healthy populations of fish, waterfowl, and Species in Greatest Conservation Need; 2) maintaining water quality of aquatic resources; 3) increased participation of private landowners in habitat projects; and 4) enhancement of prior state and local investments made in shoreland and forest conservation in the region.

Established a standard method to process existing digital elevation data into and available products needed to hydrologically condition the base DEM. Determined that a DEM conditioned with HMS-based products (i.e. culvert locations) could be used to derive data products to achieve project goals. Developed a set of 42 project watershed boundaries consistent with the LiDAR-derived watershed boundaries from the HMS modeling and the current USGS HBD dataset. Developed and refined a hydro conditioning toolbox for use in ArcGIS based on meetings and technical workshops with NRCS and HEi personnel responsible for the quality control in HMS-models model. Created a hydrologically-conditioned 3m DEM, flow direction grid, flow accumulation grid, and fill grid for 19 of the 42 project watersheds. Developed a catchment processing toolset that will enable creation of catchment based data consistent with the data already complete or under development for Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAP) studies in the basin. Reviewed metadata standards and consulted GIS specialists to start development of metadata. Created a hydrologically-conditioned 3m and 5m DEM, flow direction DEM, flow accumulation DEM, and filled DEM for remaining 23 project watersheds.

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

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

This 257 acre parcel will now be a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Aquatic Management Area (AMA) guided by an Aquatic Management Plan.",,"The Shell Rock River Watershed District (SRRWD) Management Plan developed in 2004, revised in 2015, has identified goals for accelerating programs for improved habitat, water quality and flood control. Acquiring the 257 acre parcel allowed the SRRWD to meet these goals by protecting such a large portion of undeveloped habitat and opening opportunities for the public by incorporating recreation, hunting, and fishing into the property. This project was time sensitive, as it was an essential step in securing access for the replacement of the Albert Lea Lake Dam. The Albert Lea Lake Dam and Fish Barrier Project was also funded by the LSOHC and was a 3-in-1 project designed to replace the failing dam and install a draw down structure that provided vegetation and game fish management, an electric fish barrier for protection from aquatic invasive species, and provided an aesthetically appealing rock arch dam. This project complements the 257 headwaters purchase as the water from the outlet of the dam continues to flow south through the middle of the property that was purchased. The 257 acre parcel has various natural amenities that includes the headwaters and 1.4 miles of the Shell Rock River, floodplain and mesic hardwood forests, undisturbed highly diversified wetland complexes and a riparian and stream bank corridor that is a mile long and approximately ½ mile wide. A majority of the site has undisturbed native plant communities, but some locations have been mined for sand and gravel, and roughly 43 acres of this property was used for row crops. After the purchase of the property the SRRWD, using the MnDNR recommendations, seeded the cropland into native grasses and wildflowers, and once the gravel lease is up, the MnDNR will incorporate that portion into wetland ponds. With the cropland and gravel pit restored, it creates a 257 parcel habitat niche in a predominantly agricultural setting that is at pre-settlement conditions. The Shell Rock River Water District was the fiscal agent that received the funds for purchase of this property. The process of this reimbursable grant was a relatively simple process that is well executed by LSOHC Staff and Council Members. The property is now in the process of being transferred into an AMA. This DNR management and appraisal process took longer than the District proposed because of the cumbersome DNR requirements. Once fully transferred, the DNR will have regulations for public use of this land as well as maintaining restored conditions.

A list of permanent conservation easements must be provided as part of the final report.",,"An expansion of wetland and prairie habitat through this program alleviates pressure on those species that are most sensitive to habitat changes occurring on the landscape. 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. The easements were accomplished with local implementation done by SWCD, NRCS and FSA staff within the 54 county CREP area and leveraged federal funds for both landowner payments and cost share for conservation practice installation.","The sites enrolled were generally drained and farmed wetlands and associated upland habitat. These sites offered limited ecological benefits. 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.

Up to one-half of North American bird species nest or feed in wetlands and provide a home to at least one third of all threatened and endangered species.

Landowners enrolled in the federally-funded CRP for 14-15 years; CRP is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture-Farm Service Agency (USDA-FSA). It uses agricultural land for conservation benefits, rather than farming or ranching; The same land was also enrolled into a state-funded perpetual conservation easement through the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Reserve program, administered by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Private ownership continues and the land is permanently restored and enhanced for conservation benefits. The RIM 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. One of the largest easements funded in this project was a floodplain easement in Renville county (65-13-20-01).

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.

They have also invited another male chorus to join them: the Cold Spring Area Maennerchor from Cold Spring, Minnesota, is a 40-member male chorus, also members of the Associated Male Choruses of America. Cold Spring hosted the annual district music festival in 2014.

In the Prairie Section of Minnesota, 90% of our prairie wetlands have been drained and most native prairie uplands lost to agriculture. The wetland basins that remain are often large, deep wetlands and shallow lakes that now receive heavy runoff and drainage from the intensively cultivated landscape that surrounds them. Some of our remaining wetland and shallow lake basins are surrounded in whole or part by state Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) or federal Waterfowl Production Areas (WPA), while others exist in on private land nearby, sometimes in a partially-drained condition. Landscape drainage, intensive cultivation of the prairie landscape, and invasive fish such as carp has degraded these remaining wetlands and shallow lakes into turbid waters which provide only limited habitat benefit to migrating and brood-rearing waterfowl and other wetland-dependent wildlife, and poor outdoor recreational opportunities for Minnesota duck hunters. To remedy in-basin nutrient cycling that leads to turbidity and degraded waterfowl habitat conditions, DU partners with Minnesota DNR and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service managers to enhance, restore, and actively manage shallow lakes and wetlands through temporary water level draw-downs to consolidate sediments and nutrients, reduce and remove invasive fish, improve water clarity, and enhance the aquatic ecology in some shallow lake and large wetland basins under their control. DU actively supports these efforts by providing bio-engineering technical assistance and delivering water control structures through other OHF appropriations. However, as agriculture intensifies and pressures to convert idle land into row-crop production and other purposes grow, restoring land around these public lands containing wetlands and shallow lakes is also desperately needed to help buffer them, restore their watersheds, improve prairie-wetland habitat complexes, and meet the goals of Minnesota's Prairie Conservation Plan. This program strives to buffer our remaining shallow lakes and wetlands on public land by acquiring and restoring lands immediately surrounding them. Some private land adjacent to our state WMAs containing remaining wetlands and shallow lakes include patches of native prairie or are restored cropland enrolled in the USDA’s short-term Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), but remain vulnerable to conversion back to agriculture due to rising row-crop and land prices, and need permanent protection. Other private lands are intensively cultivated right up to the edge of shallow lakes and wetlands, or to the edge of state WMAs containing such basins, and need to be restored and permanently protected. While some of these lands can be restored and protected thru the state or federal conservation easement programs, many other parcels come on the market for sale and must be acquired in fee-title in order to restore and protect them in perpetuity. This Phase 3 of Ducks Unlimited's facilitative public land acquisition and restoration program focused on acquiring and restoring land adjoining state WMAs with shallow lakes and wetlands. Acquisition of these lands are for state public land ownership and management to further buffer WMAs with wetland basins and to create or improve the size of wetland complexes, restore and preserve prairie uplands and small wetlands around shallow lakes and WMAs, and make new shallow lake enhancement and wetland restoration projects possible. Through this Phase 3 grant portion of our program, DU acquired (and restored where necessary) 11 parcels of land totaling 567 acres in seven different counties within the southern Prairie Section. These parcels included 135 acres of wetlands and 432 acres of upland habitat. This total of 567 acres acquired surpassed our projected goal for this grant of 400 acres, and thus this Phase 3 of our prairie land protection program was highly successful.

This accomplishment exceeded our 900-acre goal, was $81,225 under budget, and included a 644-acre parcel (one square mile) on the Swessinger WMA in Nobles County, a 285-acre parcel on the Rooney Run WMA in Martin County, and a 75-acre land parcel on Sanborn Lake WMA in Le Sueur County. ",,"This grant began in July 2015, and over the course of eight years, DU successfully acquired and restored three parcels of land totally 1,004 acres, and exceeded our 900-acre OHF grant goal.  These land acquisition and restoration accomplishments through this ML2015 OHF appropriation included the 644-acre Jones Tract on Swessinger WMA in Nobles County purchased in October 2015, the 75-acre Gintner Tract on Sanborn Lake WMA in Le Sueur County purchased in December 2015, and the 285-acre Krahmer Tract on Rooney Run WMA in Martin County purchased in January 2016. DU worked diligently appraise and arrange for each of these land acquisitions through Phase 3 of our program so that each could be purchase in a timely manner shortly after this OHF grant for our Phase 4 program was was appropriated.  All three tracts were transferred to the Minnesota DNR in spring 2016 as restoration planning and implementation began. Restoration of the smaller 75-acre Gintner Tract on Sanborn Lake WMA in LeSueur County was completed promptly in spring 2016 by a contractor seeding 25 acres of cropland back to native prairie grass and forbs with a native plant seeding drill. No wetland restorations were possible on this relatively small parcel, but existing wetlands were protected, and the acquisition adds more WMA habitat land around Sanborn Lake, which DU subsequently enhanced through another OHF grant program. Restoration of the other two larger parcels took longer to survey, design, plan, get permitted, and implement due to their size and complexity, and work continued through the end of 2020. In each case, DU purchased a diverse mix of native seed for each tract with guidance from Minnesota DNR prairie ecologists and biologists, and DU engineers were required to help restore multiple large wetlands on each. On the 644-acre Jones Tract at Swessinger WMA in Nobles County, restoration work began with Minnesota DNR field staff seeding 52 acres of the tract back to native grass and forbs in December 2015. DU then purchased a large quantity of additional native seed (100 different species) to restore over 500 additional upland and wetland acres of the tract in fall 2016 (based on expert guidance from Minnesota DNR prairie ecologists and wildlife biologists), which Minnesota DNR Wildlife staff broadcast seeded onto the site in fall 2016.  At the same time, a private contractor hired by DU began wetland restorations in November 2016 and work continued until the ground froze in December 2016.  Most wetlands were restored on the site by end of December 2016 except three larger wetland basins affecting county and township roads, which were later restored in 2018 and 2019 after DU and DNR negotiated with Nobles County and Bloom Township to develop mutually-acceptable restoration plans for each basin that maximized wetland hydrology restoration while meeting road safety and integrity concerns of the local units of government.  All wetland work was eventually completed in fall 2019. On the 285-acre Krahmer Tract on Rooney Run WMA in Martin County, DU hired a private contractor to ""snow-seed"" native plant seed on 200 acres of former cropland on Rooney Run WMA in March 2016. Wetland restorations on Rooney Run WMA were complex and involved disrupting 30 miles of subsurface pattern tile and altering a large county drainage tile, which required extensive engineering, and approval of Martin County.  DU worked closely with Martin County, which approved legal judicial ditch modification required to alter county tile and restore wetlands, and DU hired a contractor to perform the wetland restoration work in summer/fall 2020. All work was completed by end of December 2020 as required, within 5 years of when the land was purchased in early January, 2016. In summary, DU successfully completed acquisition and restoration of all three large land acquisition projects totaling 1,004 acres (above our 900-acre goal), transferred them to MNDNR, and completed restoration of each of them by December 31, 2020.  DU completed restoration of all three parcels too.  Total acres protected was 248 wetland acres and 758 upland acres, much of which required restoration as most of each tract was cropland, except for the Gintner Tract on Sanborn Lake WMA.   This work was completed $81,225 under OHF budget and included $532,860 in non-state private DU and federal NAWCA funds.  The $81,225 unspent of this state appropriation was returned to the OHF, and was the result of competitive contractor prices to restore wetlands on Rooney Run WMA in Martin County in 2020 due to the C19 pandemic, along with an infusion of more private and federal NAWCA grant funds than originally anticipated ($532,860, well above the $60,000 in ""leverage"" originally pledged back in 2015).

Stand-alone engineering projects provide the initial work to guide future construction, establish detailed cost estimates, and identify potential issues. One project in Rice County had this work done through this appropriation. Work is already underway to use this information to move ahead with construction. Management Actions: Active management of shallow lakes and wetlands to enhance habitat involves a number of activities that promote management of vegetation (removal of undesirable vegetation or promoting desired vegetation), management of water levels to promote a desired condition, or removal of detrimental fish species. Nine projects totaling almost 7,500 acres were conducted and involved prescribed burning of wetlands, removal of woody vegetation, and herbicide applications. Roving Habitat Crews: Roving Habitat Crews are teams of highly trained staff who are equipped to perform habitat enhancement projects on public lands. Funding from this appropriation was provided to the Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew to enable it to perform wetland enhancement activities through the addition of two roving crew members and their associated costs for three fiscal years. Typical wetland enhancement activities undertaken by Roving Habitat Crews include prescribed burns of wetlands, removal of invasive species and trees, and support of shallow lake drawdowns.

Furthermore, most remaining undrained wetlands here are in poor ecological condition due to massive landscape prairie conversion to cropland and wetland drainage that degrades both wetland condition and habitat function for prairie wildlife. Although many of our remaining prairie wetlands and shallow lakes are contained within state WMAs or federal Waterfowl Production Areas (WPA), these small public land patches rarely provide optimal wildlife habitat due to their fragmented shape and small size. Similarly, most prairie shallow lakes are surrounded by a thin ribbon of uplands that fail to adequately buffer them from surrounding agricultural land runoff. Therefore, acquisition and restoration of drained wetlands and cultivated cropland in close proximity to our public lands will improve and buffer our public shallow lakes and remaining wetlands, and help create functioning prairie-wetland complexes of habitat for breeding ducks and other prairie wildlife. DU professional engineers and biologists work closely with Minnesota DNR field staff to plan and implement robust prairie upland and pothole wetland restorations, including diverse native forb/grass seed plantings and complex wetland restorations that often involve extensive tile drainage.",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road ",Alexandria,MN,56308,3207629916,jschneider@ducks.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Freeborn, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, McLeod, Meeker, Murray, Nicollet, Redwood, Rice, Sibley, Stevens, Swift, Waseca, Yellow Medicine","Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/shallow-lake-wetland-protection-restoration-program-phase-xi,,,,

",,"The Phase IV Habitat Restoration Projects were competed and all objectives and outcomes were met. Specifically the projects, and the processes and methods to completed them are listed below. The projects in this phase were successful due to partnering resources with USFWS and MN DNR staff, as well as having supporting landowners willing to make a difference in Minnesota's natural resources. For the Wedge Creek Wetland acquisition, the District worked with a willing seller to enter into an option to purchase agreement. Once signed, the District hired consultants to complete a survey and then an appraisal of the property. The District then made an offer to the landowner that was accepted and the option to purchase was executed. This property closed in April of 2019 and protects approximately 20 acres. There is funding in Phase 6 of the Habitat Restoration Program to complete the wetland restoration work of the property before it is turned over to the DNR for ownership. The Wedge Creek Reach 6 River Restoration completed approximately 3,000 linear feet of streambank restoration work that included boulder retards, rock weirs, vortex weirs, sloped and seeded banks which created retention areas and scouring pools for habitat in public waters. The District worked with an engineering firm to design the project and sourced a contractor following state procurement procedures. For the Upper Twin Lake pumping station the District worked with the USFWS and MN DNR via a Memorandum of Understanding to complete the project. The work included installing a pumping feature to dewater the 550 acre Upper Twin Lake into Lower Twin Lake to allow for lake management following the lake management plan. Dewatering of the lake allows for carp and vegetation management to improve game fish populations and waterfowl habitat. The District followed procurement procedures for construction of the project and it was completed in 2020. The Upper and Lower Twin Lake project again worked with the MN DNR to compete projects on public lands and public waters. Both Upper and Lower Twin lakes are shallow lakes infested with Common Carp. The District worked to install a rock fish barrier to prevent carp from entering the 895 acres of the Twin Lakes system. As part of this project, the District also worked on a streambank downstream and completed approximately 7,500 linear feet of restoration. Work included installing rootwads, cross channel logs, toe rock installation and connecting historic floodplains. The last project in the Phase 4 Habitat Restoration Program was the Pickerel Lake Adjustable Outlet. This project partnered with MN DNR to incorporate a fish passage and variable crest structure to allow for management of 570 acres of Pickerel Lake and allow Northern Pike to reenter the lake for spawning.

","The Shell Rock River Watershed District (SRRWD) covers 246 square miles inside Freeborn County and includes a complex system of wetlands, streams, and shallow lakes that drain into the Shell Rock River. Among the District’s 11 lakes are Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake, which are located in the core of Freeborn County. These lakes are important to residents for recreation and vital to Albert Lea’s tourism economy and identity.   ","With The Phase 5 Habitat Restoration Program the District completed 3 acquisitions along with wetland restorations and vegetation enhancements. For each of the land acquisitions the process starts the same, the District works with a willing landowner and enters into an option to purchase the property. Once the Option is signed, the District completes a survey and an appraisal of the property. The District then negotiates with the landowner an acceptable offer and executes the purchase agreement and completes final closing requirements. Property acquisitions include the Owens, Schroeder and Mud Lake Property. The Owens acquisition was 45 acres of agricultural ground that was purchased and now includes 2 wetland ponds of 25 acres with the remaining ground planted into native upland prairie mix. The property will be donated to the DNR and will be joined into the Upper Twin Lake WMA. The Mud Lake Property was 23 acres in size and will be permanently protecting mesic hardwood forests and wetlands. This property will be adding to the adjoining Magaksica WMA that is expanding current habitat corridors. The final acquisition is the Schroeder acquisition at 22 acres in size. This property was in agricultural row crop production and included a portion of untouched meandering stream. This property now has been planted into natives and is protecting that meandering stream and the mesic hardwoods that surrounds the stream. Further restoration of the side for wetland restoration is planned in future funding efforts. Following restoration and enhancement projects include the Miller Wetland, Wedge Creek Reach 1 Vegetative restoration and the Pickerel Lake Site #12 Channel Restoration. The Miller wetland project partnered with the USFWS in which $461,000 in federal match was added to the grant as a result of their Iowa, Chicago & Eastern WPA acquisition dollars. This wetland restoration turned agricultural ground into upland plantings and wetlands by disabling field tile and completing wetland scrapes. The project came in under bid, and that is why we have additional funds to return to the OHF. This project expands current restored parcels and will benefit waterfowl, pollinators and songbirds. For the Wedge Creek Reach #1 vegetative restoration the District, following procurement procedures, hired a contractor to remove invasive species and complete controlled burns on the site. This allows native plants to thrive in its place and impacts habitat along public waters. The Pickerel Lake Channel Restoration Project improves the breeding success of native populations by reconnecting historic spawning grounds upstream of Pickerel Lake.

With this fact in mind, the Greater Blue Earth River Basin Alliance, or GBERBA, has been working towards the adoption of beneficial practices and projects in both agricultural and urban landscapes to reduce the amount of sediment entering surfaces waters.GBERBA's two prong approach aims to target riparian and bluff areas that are vulnerable to erosion and gullies. First, for agricultural practices, this project will target practices such as vegetative buffers, waterways, terraces, gully head protection structures, and water and sediment control basins in key positions on the landscape. These practices have been proven to not only reduce the loss of sediment to surface waters, but also reduce the impacts other pollutants.This project also targets urban stormwater projects in smaller communities that typically do not have regulatory requirements for stormwater like larger cities. Practices such as rain gardens, pervious pavers, stormwater bioretention areas, and bio-swales will be implemented to trap sediment and pollutants before they enter surface waters and increase infiltration of strormwater runoff.",,,,,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Kay,Clark,,,,,,"507-831-1153 x3",kay.clark@windomnet.com,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Blue Earth, Cottonwood, Faribault, Freeborn, Jackson, Le Sueur, Martin, Waseca, Watonwan",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/slowing-erosion-greater-blue-earth-river-basin,,,"Nicole Clapp",No

The revival of Poetic Strokes was a definite need in the SELCO region as library staff and patrons were looking for an opportunity to showcase the talent in southeastern Minnesota. 118 poets submitted a total of 280 poems for judging from 30 different communities, representing all 11 SELCO counties. 42 poems by 30 poets were selected by the judging panel for publication in the 2010 Poetic Strokes anthology. After publication, 1,500 copies of Poetic Strokes were provided to the contributing poets, SELCO member libraries, and members of the Minnesota Legislature, including the Governor. A local selected poet mentioned the Poetic Strokes contest in her blog, and Minnesota Governor Pawlenty sent a signed letter of thanks and appreciation to SELCO staff for promoting reading and literature. SELCO staff surveyed all participating poets and found it was a wonderful experience for most all participants. 100% of participating poets returning surveys found that the Poetic Strokes contest met their expectations, was enjoyable, and increased interest in writing poetry. 78% of participating poets returning surveys said they were more likely to submit to future Poetic Strokes contests and other writing contests. 89% of participating poets returning surveys were more likely to read local poets and poetry in general, and 78% were more likely to connect with other local poets. 100% of surveyed library patrons thought Poetic Strokes enhanced their knowledge and understanding of local poets, increased their interest in reading and writing poetry, and made them more likely to attend future poetry workshops and readings at the library. SELCO is committed to improving the collection process of outcomes for the second year of Poetic Strokes by increasing ways to publicize to hit more of the SELCO’s 11 counties to increase participation and to work closely with writers groups to establish poetry readings and workshops around the SELCO region.

This joint effort by the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is working to identify and map the springs and the areas that feed water to these springs and to learn how these waters might be affected by development and water use. Overall Project Outcome and Results Native trout require clean, cold water that usually originates from springs, but the springs feeding the 173 designated trout streams in southeastern Minnesota are under increasing pressure from current and expected changes in land use. This joint effort by the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources continued an ongoing effort begun in 2007 that is working to identify and map the springs and the areas that feed water to these springs and to learn how these waters might be affected by development and water use. Springshed delineation provides critical information for the protection and management of the springs that form the coldwater streams of southeast Minnesota. Our primary tool is fluorescent dye tracing. During the two-year period of Phase II, the U of M in collaboration with the DNR conducted 26 traces in Fillmore, Houston, Winona and Wabasha counties that mapped over 12,000 acres. Each individual trace typically has involved two or more different tracers with up to five different tracers employed in one trace. These traces are expanding the tools available for the springshed mapping, while defining new springsheds and refining the boundaries of known springsheds. These traces have been conducted in the Galena, Prairie du Chien and St. Lawrence springshed areas. Additionally, data monitoring equipment was also added as an additional component in this phase. The availability of new, high resolution LiDAR data also provided an important new tool that is being utilized to locate sinkholes, sinking streams, and spring as part of the springshed mapping effort. We coordinated our efforts with other LCCMR funded programs in SE Minnesota and with ongoing resource management efforts by the DNR, MPCA and Agriculture Department State agencies. Six of the dye traces were done in coordination with local governmental staff in order to support the Root River pilot project of the Mississippi River Basin Initiative (MRBI) in Minnesota. We are working with the MPCA's TMDL efforts in SE Minnesota. Project Results Use and Dissemination The dissemination of the results of this project proceeded at several levels. We provided interim results to local landowners and to local, county, regional, and state agency staff and resource managers. MPCA staff, for example, routinely contact us with questions about karst features in SE Minn. We worked synergistically with other LCCMR funded research projects and with a range of resource management efforts. The generation and dissemination of the maps and written reports was part student educational projects - including local high school students, university students, interns, graduate student theses, post Doctoral researchers, and various colleagues. We lead and participated in fieldtrips sponsored by LCCMR, the MGWA, and other groups focused on protecting SE MN trout streams and water resources. We worked collaboratively with MPCA, DNR, Department of Agriculture and other agencies to expand and complement the LCCMR funded work. A dozen reports on the interim results of this project were presented at state and national scientific meetings.

Overall Project Outcome and Results Springshed delineation provides critical information for the protection and management of the springs that form the coldwater streams of southeast Minnesota. Our primary tool is fluorescent dye tracing. During the two-year period of Phase II, DNR (in cooperation with the U of M) conducted 26 traces in Fillmore, Houston, Winona and Wabasha counties that mapped over 12,000 acres. The Fillmore County traces were in the Galena Formation. We discovered three previously unmapped springsheds and expanded the boundaries of five known springsheds. The expanded boundary springsheds were in the Watson Creek and South Fork Root watersheds, target areas for the local, state and federal Root River Initiative. The new springsheds are in the Crystal Creek watershed. These traces enhanced MDA watershed research and education efforts. The traces in Houston, Winona and Wabasha were in the St. Lawrence Formation. This work expanded the geographic range of St. Lawrence traces and demonstrated that conduit flow in the St. Lawrence (a confining unit in the state well code) is a regional phenomenon. Four new springsheds were located in the St. Lawrence. Two of the traces in Houston County were run from streams that do not disappear into the St. Lawrence but flow continually across it. Both of those traces were detected at springs and one was detected in a private well. This indicates that St. Lawrence groundwater across southeast Minnesota could be impacted by the surface water quality of streams crossing the formation in shallow conditions. Solinst level-temperature-conductivity loggers were purchased in the second year of the project. The data from them has shown that Prairie du Chien formation springs can be monitored for minor temperature fluctuations. Detecting these fluctuations has allowed us to conclude that the monitored springs are affected by snowmelt runoff. This information will be used for spring assessment protocol development. Project Results Use and Dissemination The project manager has spoken about the project and its results to local, state and federal officials, citizen groups, anglers, local, state and federal agency staff, and met one-on-one with numerous landowners. Project results are part of the base data for Root River Initiative watershed management efforts in the Watson Creek and Rush Pine watersheds. MPCA staff are using the maps as part of their nitrate-TMDL development. MDA staff are using the springshed maps to modify their watershed research in the Crystal Creek watershed. The project was featured on MPR when a reporter accompanied the project manager on a spring snowmelt runoff dye trace near Canton, MN. Two traces were conducted in cooperation with the earth science class at Fillmore Central High School in Harmony. The students assisted with dye input and sampling.

This appropriation is allowing the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to acquire land expanding two of these state trails: the Brown's Creek segment of the Willard Munger Trail in Washington County and the Paul Bunyan Trail along Lake Bemidji. The Brown's Creek segment runs six miles between the Gateway State Trail and downtown Stillwater along the route formerly used by the Minnesota Zephyr Dinner Train, while the new segment of the Paul Bunyan Trail runs 1.25 miles along the southeastern shore of Lake Bemidji. Overall Project Outcome and Results The Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund funding allowed for the following: Ownership of approximately 1.25 miles of the Paul Bunyan State Trail. Acquisition of this property provided for the necessary connection to the Paul Bunyan State Trailhead on the southeastern corner of Lake Bemidji. The property is comprised entirely of former industrial property, located adjacent to the shoreline of Lake Bemidji. The 2009 Trust Fund appropriation amount partially funded this acquisition. Ownership of approximately 6 miles of the Browns Creek Segment of Munger State Trail. The property is comprised entirely of the right-of-way of the former Minnesota Zephyr Dinner Trail and traverses the margins of the St. Croix River floodplain adjacent to T.H. 95, the gently to steeply sloping bluffs of the river valley and gently rolling uplands that are interspersed with residential and commercial development.

One of the topics we studied was hand engraving and carving, an art that goes back (on metal) to the 1st Millennium B.C.E. Although it is a time-consuming process, I loved it. The finished pieces can be quite beautiful, but I also became enamored with the history of engraving, the origins of which can be traced back to the invention of the printing process. The tools are also unique and wonderful; they have not changed in 2000 years. The points themselves can be studied, as small variations in a point can lead to dramatic differences in the finished piece. I would like to buy a power-assisted hand engraver kit that would let me hand engrave and carve without the physical toll and time needed to do classic hand engraving and carving. I have a combination of tendinitis and elbow problems, and the kit would allow me to develop my work for many years to come. I intend for the art of engraving to be a major part of my jewelry-making repertoire. The power-assisted engraver will allow this to happen, will allow me to explore my artistic vision without restrictions. Therefore, if I'm still engraving years down the road, then that will mean the engraver did its job, and allowed me to continue creatively exploring this wonderful discipline in spite of some physical limitations.","I intended for the art of engraving to be a major part of my jewelry-making repertoire.

Our current 40 year old equipment takes a minimum of 4 hours to trim a slab of stone to size, grind it to shape, drill holes, and polish it.

Even then, the quality is only ""fair"" to ""good"" (a subjective assessment).

Modern equipment would be safer, would allow us to complete a piece in half of that time, and increase quality to ""excellent"" (again, a subjective assessment). It will also reduce incidences of loss - projects that must scrapped and begun anew. While it is difficult to measure artistic productivity because each piece is unique, and different stones cut and polish at different rates according to the Mohs Hardness Scale, we will quantify the number of pieces produced per hour during the first 6 months of equipment use in order to provide a measurable outcome of productivity. We will photograph pieces and rate their quality for the final report, if required.","We purchased all of the equipment approved by the grant by 9/8/18. All was put into service.

The watershed operates as a funnel, bringing the high velocity water to a concentrated area and shooting it through the banks, rather than over. This has lead to a site which is void of vegetation and six streambank blowouts within a 300 foot area of streambank. This project will treat the flow by constructing grass waterways in the upper reaches of the watershed and treat that water all the way down to the streambank. Directly adjacent to the streambank, an earthen structure will be built, to trap, treat and release the water back into the Upper Iowa at a responsible rate.

Development trends pose a serious threat to wild rice habitat. Sites are selected through a ranking process that considers development risk, surrounding land use, habitat value, and other criteria. BWSR will utilize the RIM easement process in partnership with local soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) within the Northern Forest and Forest Prairie Transition to accomplish protection. Previous phases of this project have protected 5,332 acres and exceeded goals by 22%.","Historically, wild rice occurred throughout Minnesota and extended into northern Iowa. Wild rice has since been extirpated from most of its southern range due to human impacts including changes to water quality and chemistry, sedimentation, drainage, flow alteration, boat traffic and competition from introduced aquatic invasive species. Today, the heart of the state's wild rice acreage falls within this project work area comprised of 14 counties -- Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Carlton, Cass, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, Otter Tail, St. Louis, Stearns, Todd, and Wadena. Recent well-documented population and development trends pose a serious threat to remaining wild rice habitat. This population and development boom has reduced the availability of developable shoreline on recreational lakes, resulting in shallow lakes, rivers, and shallow bays containing wild rice being increasingly targeted for shoreline development. Many wild rice shoreland complexes are still intact with good water quality, but are subject to development pressure that, if allowed, will degrade the resource. Voluntary, incentive-based conservation protection options for shoreland landowners are few. Unlike the prairie portion of the state where state funded easement options exist for conservation-minded landowners, private land protection options are limited for wild rice shoreland in the forest due to funding constraints. Further, many easement programs are targeted for restoration and not protection. In the northern forest, lower land values allow conservation dollars to stretch further while also leveraging existing public lands. Most wild rice lakes are public waters and offer some form of public access. This proposal will continue to fill a need for shoreland protection on key water bodies supporting wild rice in the Northern Forest and Forest Prairie Transition Sections. Utilizing permanent conservation easements the Minnesota Board of Water & Soil Resources (BWSR) and fourteen local SWCDs will continue to offer permanent shoreland protection on shallow lakes, rivers and shallow bays producing wild rice. BWSR's Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Program will acquire 850 acres through permanent conservation easements. Through local SWCD offices, BWSR will purchase RIM easements using rates set by the BWSR Board. Tracts will be selected based on the degree to which they help permanently protect the land around a given wild rice water body. RIM easements will be acquired through a sign-up process similar to BWSR's other easement programs. SWCD generated landowner applications will be reviewed and parcels ranked by the project committee with guidance provided by the ""Wild Rice Shoreland Protection Criteria Sheet"" (attached).",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Bill,Penning,BWSR,"394 S Lake Ave #403 ",Duluth,MN,5640558021,,bill.penning@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Beltrami, Cass, Crow Wing","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/wild-rice-shoreland-protection-phase-viii,,,,

ABC partnered with 11 Minnesota DNR Offices, seven Minnesota Counties, two USFWS National Wildlife Refuges, Chippewa National Forest, and the Red Lake Band of Chippewa. In Phase III, ABC will continue to use science-based best management practices (BMPs) to build upon this success and complete 3650+ acres of habitat projects over five years. Minnesota is a key state in an international initiative to conserve GWWA and AMWO, Minnesota Species of Greatest Conservation Need. ABC also collaborates with partners in Central and South America to conserve GWWA stopover and wintering habitat, while implementing a regional program to restore and enhance breeding habitat throughout the Great Lakes. ABC's Minnesota Private Lands Program, implemented with funding through NRCS, completed similar work with private landowners, resulting in 5,760 acres since 2013. In Phase III, habitat project work will be completed on sites adjacent to deciduous and mixed forest stands to accommodate diverse habitat needs of target species. Mechanical operations concentrate on emulating natural disturbance by hiring contractors to cut dense alder, willow, and other forest or brushland species from 1-5? diameter on non-commercial forest/brushland stands to create nesting, brood rearing, and browsing habitat. Mature trees and patchy, woody structure are retained during project operations, creating site-level structural diversity to allow male GWWAs to claim territory and attract females, while providing ground nesting and forage for GWWA and associated species. A limited number of planting projects may be implemented to create similar habitat and enhance forest continuity. All projects are completed using GWWA and AMWO BMPs within consensus focal regions. ABC will utilize funding to provide financial, technical, and project management assistance to public and tribal agency partners for all project phases, while engaging in cooperative forums, outreach and continuing education associated with forest habitat. Due to ABC's established partner network and technical experience restoring and enhancing early successional habitat, we are able to work across jurisdictional boundaries and address landscape-level priorities while meeting site-level goals.

",,"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.

To achieve this, ABC worked collaboratively with County, Tribal, State, Federal, and NGO partners. In Phase IV, ABC will continue to use science-based best management practices (BMPs) to implement projects on permanently protected lands, creating 4,360+ acres of habitat over five years. In Phase IV, ABC will continue to prioritize projects in early successional deciduous forest habitats, and expand to include additional complimentary treatments in mixed forest covertypes to benefit young forest cohorts such as White-throated Sparrow, Veery, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak. ABC will also complete a limited number of projects in adjacent brushland and oak savanna habitats to benefit Red-headed Woodpecker (RHWO) and Sharp-tailed Grouse (STGR). Projects will be completed using science-based best management practices within consensus focal regions. From 2015-2018, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology finished a program to monitor species response on Phase I-II project sites. Monitors evaluated point locations within ABC-managed sites, observing a positive effect on GWWA and AMWO occupancy, resulting in >90% relative occupancy on shrubland data points of managed sites in Minnesota by year three. GWWA density nearly doubled and AMWO density increased to 1 male/4.84 acres. Cutting projects emulate natural disturbance by reducing the density of woody vegetation (mostly brush) in non-commercial stands to create nesting, brood rearing, and browsing habitat. Mature trees and patchy, woody structure are retained to create site-level structural diversity to maintain perches for male GWWAs to claim territory and attract females, while providing nesting and forage for associated wildlife species.

Treatments will be completed on sites that have become overgrown with brush species that reduce ecological heterogeneity and limit the habitat's viability to meet life-cycle needs of a suite of migratory and resident bird species. The loss or degradation of these habitat types and transition zones greatly reduces the capacity of these areas to support robust wildlife populations. Planting projects will focus on creating young forest habitat, expanding forest contiguity, and increasing habitat connectivity.
