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.

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

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

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,,,,

",,"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.

In total, we under spent on our budget, over delivered on acre goals, and over delivered on match leverage received. ",,"The loss of grassland and wetland habitats in Minnesota is well documented.  One of the primary ways to reverse this downward trend is to permanently acquire and restore previously converted wetland and grassland habitats on those properties. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and their partners have been employing this strategy for over 50-years with the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program (SWAP). This sixth phase of the acceleration program acquires AND restores 335 acres of wetland and 505 acres of grassland habitats which will be permanently protected as Waterfowl Protection Areas managed by the Service. Using landscape level planning tools [e.g. Thunderstorm Maps produced by the Service’s Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET)], Pheasants Forever (PF) will acquire strategically identified properties. Based on HAPET evaluation strategies, modeling predictions can be made on the numbers of nesting waterfowl, grassland nesting birds, and other wildlife the acres affected by this grant application will produce.  Besides the obvious wildlife benefits, once restored, the lands acquired through this grant will provide additional water quality, groundwater recharge, and flood abatement benefits. These strategies are well tested and are supported by the greater conservation community here in Minnesota. Hunting and fishing stakeholders are very interested in increasing opportunities for hunting and fishing public access and have used WPA’s extensively in the past. To address concerns related to the erosion of county tax revenues due to public land, the Service and PF will notify counties prior to acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the Service will make a one-time Trust Fund payment to the County where the property is located.  In addition, the Service will make annual Refuge Revenue Sharing payments for all fee lands within the respective Counties. Funding for restoration of the properties will be solicited from partners. If this funding is available, budgeted Outdoor Heritage restoration funds under this proposal would be able to accomplish additional fee title w/o PILT acquisition funds. Wetlands, on the properties acquired, will be restored by either surface ditch “plugs” or breaking sub-surface tile lines. Grasslands will be restored by planting appropriate native grasses and forbs to converted grassland habitats. Grassland restoration on individual tracts may take three to five years and involve one to two years of post acquisition farming to prepare the seed base, one year for seeding and one to two years to establish.

Through this appropriation a total of 1,584 acres were protected.  This included 604 RIM acres and 980 NPB acres. Easement acquisition focused on Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan identified landscapes. ",,"The loss of native prairie and grassland habitat is arguably the greatest conservation challenge facing western and southern Minnesota. This appropriation aimed to protect 1,120 acres of prairie and grassland habitat by coordinating and accelerating the enrollment of Reinvest In Minnesota (RIM) and the Native Prairie Bank (NPB) easements. Not only were the protection outcomes met but they were exceeded by 464 acres, for a total of 1,584 acres of prairie and grassland habitat protection.  Acceleration, such as this, is necessary to address the loss of native prairie and associated grasslands. Today, only about 1.3% of Minnesota’s original 18 million acres of prairie remains. The few remaining acres of native prairie once were thought of as unsuitable for crop production, however with advancements in technology and equipment, in addition to growing competition for tillable acres, this is no longer the case.  Unfortunately, grassland-to-cropland conversion is not the only impact to native prairie, significant degradation and loss is also occurring due to property development, mineral extraction and lack of prairie-oriented management. If the current trajectory of grassland and prairie loss continues it will be devastating to grassland dependent wildlife populations. Recognizing that protecting grassland and wetland habitat is one of the most critical environmental challenges facing Minnesota, over a dozen leading conservation organizations developed a blue print for moving forward – the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. This plan calls for several outcomes, including the protection of all remaining native prairie and the protection other grasslands through conservation easements. The two primary, state administered easement programs identified to accomplish this are  Reinvest in Minnesota Program (RIM) and Native Prairie Bank Program (NPB). Between the historic priority lands for RIM and NPB enrollment lies a mix or restored grasslands and low diversity remnant prairies – without any protection from conversion. In order to achieve the Minnesota Prairie Plans goals this appropriation allowed RIM and NPB to re-tool to better address prairie, grassland and wetland threats.  Originally, this appropriation aimed to enroll 520 acres of RIM easements and 600 acres of Native Prairie Bank easements. These acres were to be focused on priority landscapes identified in the Minnesota Prairie Plan and Local Technical Teams, comprised of local conservation organizations, had already been assembled and eagerly awaited funding to deliver these programs to willing landowners. Ultimately, 8 high quality native prairie parcels for a total of 980 acres (380 acres more than initial 600 acre goal) were protected through this appropriation via Native Prairie Bank Easements.  These now protected native prairies are unique natural resources that consist of thousands of different organisms, plants, animals, bacteria and soil fungi.  Their complex interactions provide the food, water and shelter required by many of Minnesota’s rare, threatened and endangered species. These prairies house a wide variety of pollinator species, some of which often cannot survive in other habitats, including prairie restorations. Additionally, 8 RIM easements for a total of 604 acres (84 acres more than initial 520 acre goal) were acquired through this appropriation to protect key grasslands that help connect high priority conservation lands, thus working towards building the prairie complexes identified in the Minnesota Prairie Plan.  Grasslands protected were ecologically evaluated and recommended by Prairie Plan Local Technical Teams, which are made up of multiple conservation organizations.     ",2014-07-01,2019-10-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Judy,Schulte,"MN DNR","1241 E Bridge Street","Redwood Falls",MN,56283,"(507) 637-6016",judy.schulte@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition",,,"Big Stone, Clay, Cottonwood, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Marshall, Otter Tail, Pipestone, Redwood, Swift, Wilkin","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-protection-grassland-and-prairie-habitat-reinvest-minnesota-rim-and-native-prai,,,,

I can now organize, develop my work in Lightroom and build my own frames and my website will be up soon; my two-day Square Space workshop taught me the skills I need to produce and design my own website. 2: 400 Minnesotans engaged with my work during seven community events; most reported gaining new appreciation for the beauty and integrity of Minnesota bogs. I counted the audience at my shows, artist talks and the panel discussion. I provided guest books for the Marshall Area Fine Arts Council and Edge Center for the Arts shows.

Public reading included approximately fifty Minneapolis kids engaged with the work of the artist. The evaluation of the poetry workshop was that students were able to produce poetry using the rules of each form. As students were leaving, two asked when we could do this again. The outcome was achieved. Later, at the public reading, audience reaction was noted. The main emotion heard during the reading was audience gasps from a few kids when the prickly hairbrush and danger of being spanked with it was mentioned. Also, the fact that more than 50% of the hands were raised to ask questions showed the positive level of engagement with the artist.",,,,10000,,,,"Kristin F.

As we enter our fourth year of the Minnesota Music Summit, we continue to build on the program based on artist and participant feedback. The Minnesota Music Coalition will continue to evaluate the success of this project both qualitatively and quantitatively. To track attendance, we will do both a head count and an email sign-in at the networking events and workshops. The Amsterdam staff track total number of concert attendees that come through the door. We will provide written surveys to participating artists after the Summit is over, a method that has worked well in the past. We will also measure the quality of the event through comments on our social media as well as through informal conversations and post-event meetings with Minnesota Music Coalition staff, Board and partnering organizations.","As we had hoped, this year's Minnesota Music Summit drew over 800 people who came from all over Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.

After the church was acquired by the GVHS for use as a museum, a team of experts were suspicious that the floor tiles in the lower level might contain asbestos. The experts in this field definitely confirmed that the floor tiles, which had become cracked and deteriorated by moisture migrating from the concrete slab, had to be removed by a HASlWET company and properly disposed of in accordance with state statutes, before the next project, the water management problem could be addressed and fixed. This project is one of many ongoing projects already completed to accomplish the goal of a church-museum, owned by the Golden Valley Historical Society, and to create a museum to find and preserve artifacts of the heritage of the village and city of Golden Valley, and to be able to display the artifacts and educate the past, present and future citizens of the community of the long heritage of the community. The church building is the oldest church in the City of Golden Valley, built in 1882 by non-denominational pioneers who eventually became associated with the Methodist Church. Having outgrown the facility in the 1950's, the Methodist Congregation built a larger church in the community and moved into it. The church was then purchased by the Golden Valley Christian Science Society who held services and meditation areas for its members until 1997, when the Christian Science Society had dwindled to a dozen or so members decided to sell the property. On July 1, 1997, the Golden Valley Historical Society, with the grant of one member, purchased the property to preserve this historic church and create a church-museum. With the asbests abatement the Golden Valley Historical Society will have improved the use of the building and allow it to work with architects to continue with the rehabilitation of the building to complete the lower level museum.

Next, we will select methods of duplication and will also curate release shows to showcase the completed album. The release shows both in Duluth and Minneapolis will be a great way gauge the success of our work and make the album physically available to the public.

A list of proposed acquisitions and a list of proposed projects, describing the types and locations of restorations and enhancements, must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. The commissioner of natural resources must agree in writing to each proposed acquisition, restoration, and enhancement. All restorations must comply with subdivision 9, paragraph (b).","Improved aquatic habitat indicators Improved aquatic habitat indicator","Restored 22 acres of prairie; Restored and Enhanced habitat along 4.4 miles of trout stream, approximately 52 acres of riparian corridor.",,,,1269000,,,,"MN Trout Unlimited","Non-Profit Business/Entity","This program will restore and/or enhance in-stream and riparian fish and wildlife habitat in six coldwater streams located in existing Aquatic Management Areas and one Minnesota State Park. The proposed projects will improve habitat for both game and non-game fish and wildlife species uniquely associated with coldwater trout streams and provide expanded recreational opportunities for Minnesota anglers.","Seriously degraded coldwater habitat is an important statewide conservation issue requiring immediate investment through habitat restoration and enhancement projects. The Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council has declared the restoration and enhancement of coldwater fish habitat a priority action in the L-SOHC Sections in which these projects are located. As part of our ongoing program of trout and salmon habitat restoration and enhancement, the Minnesota Council of Trout Unlimited (?MNTU?) has identified several priority projects for Fiscal Year 2011 funding. MNTU proposes to directly restore or enhance in-stream and riparian fish and wildlife habitat in and along the following Minnesota waters (counties) between July 2010 and June 2012:1. Hay Creek (Goodhue);2. Lost Creek (Fillmore);3. North Branch of Whitewater River (Wabasha);4. Pine Creek (Winona);5. Vermillion River (Dakota);6. West Indian Creek (Wabasha) Five of the projects will restore or enhance habitat on existing state-owned Aquatic Management Areas. The sixth project will restore or enhance habitat on state-owned land within Carly State Park. These projects will employ the same successful strategy used in the projects done by MNTU chapters and the MNDNR in the past several years. Each project involves the installation of in-stream fish habitat structures, in addition to measures which reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation, and reconnect streams to their flood plains to reduce negative impacts from severe flooding. The specific fish habitat restoration or enhancement methods used on each stream will vary depending upon the distinct natural resource characteristics of each ecological region, as well as variations in the type and magnitude of poor land uses practices within each watersheds. Each project will be tailored to the site after close consultation with resource professionals within the Minnesota DNR. The projects to be undertaken by MNTU will be designed to accomplish a number of the following purposes: a) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation, b) reconnect streams to their flood plains to reduce negative impacts from severe flooding, c) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms, d) maintain or increase adult trout abundance, e) increase biodiversity for both in-stream and non-game species, f) be long lasting with minimal maintenance required, and g) improve angler access. Additional project descriptions can be found in MNTU's Request for Funding dated November 2, 2009. Project partners include the MNDNR, Carly State park, Plainview Lions Club, Pheasants Forever, and Minnesota citizens. The MNDNR is a key partner on every project MNTU does, from identifying priority projects for MNTU to consider, to offering professional input on project design, providing permitting review and project support. Depending upon the project they may contribute materials, labor and/or some supervision. The project proposed for the North Branch of the Whitewater River involves partnerships with both Carley State Park and the Plainview Lions Club. The Park will provide technical support and the Lions Club will provide volunteers and a cash contribution. On the Vermillion River, Pheasants Forever will partner on the upland portion of the parcel. We anticipate strong support from local communities, local businesses, community clubs, sporting groups, anglers, the MNDNR and the general public. We do not anticipate any opposition to the projects or impediments to successfully achieving the intended habitat outcomes. Restoration and enhancement are used interchangeably throughout this document as the precise dividing line between them is not always clear. Acreage calculations are based upon 16 acres per mile.","Seriously degraded coldwater habitat is an important statewide conservation issue requiring immediate investment through habitat restoration and enhancement projects.  The Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council identified the restoration and enhancement of coldwater fish habitat a priority action in the L-SOHC Sections in which these projects are located.  As part of our ongoing program of trout and salmon habitat restoration and enhancement, Minnesota Trout Unlimited (“MNTU”) has identified several priority projects for Fiscal Year 2011 funding.  MNTU directly restored or enhanced in-stream and riparian fish and wildlife habitat in and along these Minnesota waters (counties), all of which are in existing state-owned Aquatic Management Areas:      1.    Hay Creek (Goodhue);    2.    Lost Creek (Fillmore);        3.    Pine Creek, reach 1 (Winona);    4.    Pine Creek, reach 2 (Winona);     5.    Vermilion River (Dakota);    6.    West Indian Creek (Wabasha).Another project, on the North Branch of the Whitewater River, was designed but implementation postponed by DNR Parks so it can rework the design to make the site appear more closely like pre European settlement conditions. Rather than delay the expenditure of OHF funds on the ground, remaining funds budgeted for construction were used to enhance another reach of Pine Creek.  This 1,800 foot long reach of enhanced habitat on Pine Creek will support greater numbers of adult trout and likely receive far heavier use than Whitewater River reach would have.These projects employed the same successful strategy used in the projects done by MNTU chapters and the MNDNR in the past decade.  Each project involved the installation of in-stream fish habitat structures, in addition to measures which have reduced stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation, and reconnected streams to their flood plains to reduce negative impacts from severe flooding.  The specific fish habitat restoration or enhancement methods used on each stream varied slightly depending upon the distinct natural resource characteristics of each ecological region, as well as variations in the type and magnitude of poor land uses practices within each watershed.  Each project was tailored to the site after close consultation with resource professionals within the Minnesota DNR.  The projects were designed and implemented to accomplish a number of these purposes:  a) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation, b) reconnect streams to their flood plains to reduce negative impacts from severe flooding, c) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms, d) maintain or increase adult trout abundance, e) increase biodiversity for both in-stream and non-game species, f) be long lasting with minimal maintenance required, and g) improve angler access.  Project partners included the MNDNR, Pheasants Forever, and Minnesota citizens.  The MNDNR was a key partner on every project, helping to identifying priority project sites, offering professional input on designs, providing permitting review, and other support.  Dedicated members of Pheasants Forever accomplished an excellent prairie restoration on the upland areas of the Vermilion River site.  We encountered strong support from local communities, local businesses, community clubs, sporting groups, anglers, the MNDNR and the general public.  ",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,John,Lenczewski,"Minnesota Council of Trout Unlimited","P O Box 845 ",Chanhassen,None,55317,,jlenczewski@comcast.net,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Dakota, Fillmore, Goodhue, Goodhue","Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/cold-water-river-and-stream-restoration-protection-and-enhancement-0,,,,

","The long history of settlement and long-accepted agricultural land use practices have resulted in the loss, degradation and fragmentation of our natural resource systems. In Dakota County, only three percent of the pre-settlement plant communities remain. Despite increased public awareness of water quality issues and improvement methods, as well as multi-agency efforts to assist landowners in protecting the environment, nearly every river, stream and lake in the County that has been monitored is officially impaired in some fashion. According to Metropolitan Council data, between 1970 and 2005, Dakota County lost more than 7,500 acres of non-urbanized land (undeveloped, agricultural, steeply sloped or wetland); added 3,592 acres for major four-lane highways and nearly tripled its residential acreage from 20,150 to 58,455. Not coincidentally, this new development is attracted to the remaining natural features - especially lakes and rivers. Yet, most of this land is privately owned and does not provide close-to-home public access for most residents to hunt, fish or enjoy other outdoor recreational activities. The county has a wealth of high quality soils and a vibrant agricultural economy, and with recently high commodity prices, the pressure to plant corn and soybeans from fence row to fence row has never been greater. Under even conservative scenarios, the potential changes that could be wrought by climate change need to be considered. This combination of large-scale impacts and trends must be approached comprehensively, long-term and collaboratively if we are to maintain and improve our natural resource heritage and its many associated benefits. At the same time, there are tremendous opportunities to proactively and successfully address these challenges. The downturn in the economy has halted residential development for now and significantly lowered land prices. Sound plans have been developed and adopted which collectively focus on protecting and improving our natural infrastructure. The county has a wealth of high quality soils and a vibrant agricultural economy, and with recently high commodity prices, the pressure to plant corn and soybeans from fence row to fence row has never been greater. Under even conservative scenarios, the potential changes that could be wrought by climate change need to be considered. This combination of large-scale impacts and trends must be approached comprehensively, long-term and collaboratively if we are to maintain and improve our natural resource heritage and its many associated benefits. At the same time, there are tremendous opportunities to proactively and successfully address these challenges. The downturn in the economy has halted residential development for now and significantly lowered land prices. Sound plans have been developed and adopted which collectively focus on protecting and improving our natural infrastructure. All proposed easements include a Natural Resource Management Plan. For some riparian easements, it will mean restoring currently cultivated areas using a variety of native species depending upon site conditions, habitat potential, strategic corridor interconnectivity, and opportunities to increase ecological resiliency. For other easements, it will be a combination of protecting and managing the current vegetation and restoring cultivated portions of the site with native species. In still other sites, the project will permanently protect and enhance the shoreline, riparian zone and associated uplands and wetlands. This project has direct benefits to fish, game and wildlife beyond the increased and interconnected terrestrial habitat. Working with landowners to increase and improve buffers and better manage drain tile will reduce runoff containing excess nutrients, chemicals and warm water. The resulting water quality improvements will enhance the entire aquatic ecosystem. The scale and scope of this project is both doable and significant. It encompasses some of the best natural resource features found in the metropolitan region across a combination of urban, suburban and rural landscapes. It takes a sound fiscal and ecological systems approach to conservation, while attempting to balance the interests, rights and responsibilities of private landowners with the public's concerns about water and habitat quality, outdoor recreation and climate change. The County has an excellent track record of working effectively with a wide variety of agencies, jurisdictions and organizations including the Natural Resources Conservation Service, MN Department of Natural Resources, Soil and Water Conservation District, Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization, Cannon River Watershed Partners, Friends of the Mississippi River, Trout Unlimited and others. Through the successful Farmland and Natural Areas Program, the County has developed program policy and practices to acquire, monitor and administer 37 current conservation easements with many new easement projects underway. In association with these easements, the County implements short- and long-term natural resource management and restoration. The County has been implementing the Farmland and Natural Areas Program for six years with two years of planning, public outreach and participation prior to its inception. The recent approval of township, city and county comprehensive and local water plans was the culmination of significant involvement by stakeholders and the general public. The LCCMR-funded Vermillion River Corridor Project has involved over 220 people in a series of public workshops over the past six months. The results of all of these efforts have led to wide-spread alignment and support for riparian easements that can accomplish multiple benefits while compensating and protecting private landowners. The Dakota County Board of Commissioners approved the submission of this proposal by Resolution No. 09-549 on October 20, 2010. The proposed acquisitions will take place in as many as eight cities and twelve townships. While these local jurisdictions have been very supportive of previous County easement acquisitions from willing landowners and for projects that match approved local plans, they have not formally approved any specific acquisition at this point. Our intention is to discuss this project at the Dakota Township Officers meeting in March 2010 to elicit comments and concerns. This proposal will also be discussed during an early 2010 meeting with all city managers within the county. Any project involving current or future city land will be approved by the respective city staff or council prior to any expenditure within those jurisdictions.

This was accomplished by demonstrating geographically appropriate technologies for reducing energy use and providing public access to energy information through formal education programs and a web presence. In-depth information on each center's energy reduction demonstrations are found in their individual reports. A bulleted summary of each demonstration is as follows:Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center - Lanesboro, MN: Installed deep energy reduction retrofit, solar thermal, and a solar hot water heater.Audubon Center of the North Woods - Sandstone, MN: Installed geothermal heat pump, solar arrays, solar panels, and a wind generator.Deep Portage Learning Center - Walker, MN: Installed wood gasification system and lighting upgrades (CFLs to LEDs and T12s to T8s).Laurentian Environmental Learning Center - Britt, MN: Installed building envelope improvements, energy conservation technologies, and a solar hot water heater.Long Lake Conservation Center - Palisades, MN: Installed building envelope improvements, a solar hot water heater, and lighting upgrades (trail lighting and T12s to T8s).Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center - Finland, MN: Installed biofuel heating system, solar arrays, wind generation, and lighting upgrades (trail lighting and T 12s to T8s).Eagle Bluff implemented a deep energy reduction retrofit on its most inefficient building, the staff residence. The building was super insulated using the Cold Climate Housings Research Center's REMOTE (Residence Exterior Membrane Outside-insulate Technique). Solar thermal heat was added for domestic hot water and building heating. A 5.6 Kw solar photovoltaic system provides green power for the heating system. As a result of the retrofit, the building became the 9th house in North America to receive ACI's 1000 Home Challenge for reducing energy consumption by over 78% A pdf describing the project is available from Eagle Bluff. All centers collaborated in developing over 20 new units of educational curriculum based on the following seven areas: biomass, conservation, efficiency, energy basics, food and energy, solar power and wind power. An activity toolbox was designed for use at the RELC's and in the formal classroom. They range from formal lessons to informal tours to an energy choice challenge and are currently in practice at the RELC's collectively reaching nearly 60,000 visitors/students annually. In order to determine the efficacy of the educational materials and program, an external assessment was done which evaluated the knowledge and behaviors of visitors to the RELC who participated in the activities. The results showed that 88.5% of children and 50.6% of adults had an increase in knowledge and 70.2% of children and 52.6% of adults increased their energy conserving behaviors while visiting an RELC. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Homeowners, commercial businesses, educators and the general public can access the educational materials, assessment results, demonstration information, and current energy use/production on the Today's Leaders for a Sustainable Tomorrow website at: www.tlfast.org. In addition, this project has allowed the centers the opportunity to collaborate with Winona State University to offer an Energy Resource Advisor course which is part of Continuing Education program and a core course in WSU's Sustainability major.

We aim to serve as a sustainable energy demonstration site by modeling responsible energy usage and through energy offering energy curriculum for the nearly 10,000 participants that visit us every year. Through funding from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF), we have been able to make strides in both of these directions. With our ENRTF grant, we hired an architecture and engineering firm to design the envelope improvements and solar hot water systems that would benefit several of our campus buildings. We contracted with local builders and installers to:Improve the envelopes of our two largest buildings, the Dining Hall and Crosby Dormitory, through blown cellulose insulation, foam sealing air penetrations and weather stripping exterior doors.Insulate the walls and roof as well as re-side and re-shingle our 100+ year old Wildlife Barn.Insulate Nationally Historic Registered Schwyzer Lodge through blown cellulose insulation in the crawl spaces and attic, as well as vapor-line and foam-seal the open air basement.Install a solar hot water system at our Dining Hall for hot water use in our kitchen and dining hall restrooms.Install a solar hot water system at Crosby Dormitory for hot water use of showers and sinks in the dormitory rooms.Through these energy improvements we anticipate savings 259,570 lbs. of carbon annually from reduction in propane and electricity usage. As part of TLFAST, we have helped to create 22 energy lessons to engage and inform students about energy issues and topics to be taught at the Audubon Center and outreach programs. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Information about this project is disseminated through the TLFAST collective website at http://earthsensealliance.org/e_energy.php. We have written about this project in our past two Audubon Center of the North Woods newsletters, and have been leading energy tours for local groups for the past several months, highlighting the outcomes of the ENRTF grant. In the spring of 2011, we contacted our 80+ participating K-12 schools about the opportunity to pilot test the energy curriculum developed and had several schools participate. Information about the completed energy lessons has been sent to all participating schools as options for their on-site or outreach programs.",,"Final Report",2010-07-01,2012-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Bryan,Wood,"The MN Coalition of RELCs","Audubon Center of the North Woods, PO Box 530",Sandstone,MN,55072,"(320) 245-2648",bwood@audubon-center.org,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Cass, Fillmore, Lake, Pine, St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/demonstrating-sustainable-energy-practices-residential-environmental-learning-centers-rel-1,,,,

A $212,000 grant from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund has made this possible. All of these systems have been installed, and we now have a year's worth of energy savings data. The 10 Kw small wind turbine has produced 4,200 Kw hours of electricity and has eliminated the emission of 10,080m lbs. of carbon dioxide. The solar hot water system has produced thousands of gallons of domestic hot water and displaced 1,400 gallons of fossil fuel propane. New LED (light-emitting diodes) lights, E Solutions refrigeration equipment and new Energy Star windows round out the project. These technologies are for demonstration and education. A new sustainable energy curriculum has been developed and piloted with several Minnesota schools. Five-hundred-plus people have now gone on a renewable energy tour at the center. This project shows our residents how to reduce our carbon footprint, save money. and support local jobs and industry. The electrical use at the Deep Portage Learning Center is now an astonishing 2.2 Kw hours per square foot annually. The Carbon footprint has been cut in half, and the total energy savings is $15,000-20,000 per year. This is a model that can be repeated at public schools and government buildings around the State. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Information about this project will be disseminated in our center's newsletters, website and blogs, emails, and annual reports. It will also be discussed in all future New ERA training seminars held on-site at each center. The Energy Resource Advisor (ERA) certificate, developed by Winona State University, is a new curriculum designed to accelerate public understanding of energy efficiency, clean energy, carbon emissions, resource conservation, green technologies, and green jobs. This curriculum is the first of its kind in Minnesota. It is a non-credit, continuing education course for adults 18 years of age and older, using online instructional technology combined with applied, field experience at one of the six RELCs. Participants in this class will learn about: a) the basic components of an energy audit, b) small-scale renewable energy including site suitability, system sizing, and financial incentives that are available, c) alternative building and transportation options, d) ways to ""green up"" the home or business, and e) the field of emerging ""green"" jobs. After completing this course, the successful participant may serve as an energy resource advisor and ""green"" consultant in the community and workplace. Deep Portage has had over 200 participants attend renewable energy tours and has taught classes to elementary students in renewable energy. We have posted data on our Facebook page, and our website has a renewable energy toolbar with data on the accomplishments of the initiative. The TLFAST and LCCMR websites also feature information. The collective website is up and running, www.tlfast.org/dplc.html. The six centers have collaboratively developed 22 units of curriculum for use by each center.

The results of the study were used as the baseline carbon and energy use for Laurentian Environmental Center. This data was submitted as part of the LCCMR ENRTF grant request that focused on carbon reduction as a result of envelope improvements for the lodge and office buildings, and a solar hot water. In 2010, Laurentian Environmental Center (LEC) was awarded $258,000 from the ENRTF. In late early fall of 2010,an RFP was sent out for the design work of the project. Wagner Zaun Architecture of Duluth was selected to design and manage the project. A predesign site assessment determined the scope of work. A design package and RFP for the energy retrofit of the lodge and office was created, and sent out. Nelson Exteriors was selected to complete the project. The retrofit work included air sealing, insulation, high efficiency windows and doors, and mechanical improvements. Construction began in fall 2010, and was completed in spring 2011. In spring 2011, design work for the solar hot water system was conducted by Wagner Zahn Architecture, and Conservation Technologies. Bid specifications were developed. Qualified contractors were identified, and invited to submit proposals. Innovative Power Systems was awarded the contract for the design and installation of the lodge solar hot water system, and Gruska Construction was awarded the contract for site preparation and slab installation. The slab was installed fall 2011. Solar installation occurred fall/winter 2011/2012.. The solar hot water system was fully operational in April 2012.. Innovative Power Systems designed and installed a solar hot water monitoring package that was below budget, and met the center needs. The envelope improvements in the lodge and office have made a remarkable difference in the overall comfort of the buildings. Prior to the construction, it was difficult to maintain uniform temperatures. Air sealing, insulation, and operational windows have made the building extremely comfortable for groups and staff to use. Propane use in the lodge has dropped approximately 40%, due to a combination of burning more wood for heating, and the energy retrofit projects. Future energy monitoring and utility bills will likely yield continued reductions in carbon, and energy use.",,"Final Report",2010-07-01,2012-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Nick,Temali,"The MN Coalition of RELCs","c/o LEC, 8950 Peppard Rd",Britt,MN,55710,"(651) 621-7403",nick.temali@moundsviewschools.org,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Cass, Fillmore, Lake, Pine, St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/demonstrating-sustainable-energy-practices-residential-environmental-learning-centers-rel-3,,,,

In order to get the most value from the energy efficiency measures a study was conducted for each RELC. As a result, a series of recommendations were given to reduce carbon and energy consumption. Each RELC is unique, so recommendations varied between them. Specifically for LLCC, the recommendations were to improve the energy efficiency in campus buildings, convert campus lighting to solar and LED's, design and install solar energy sources for the Northstar Lodge and Dining Hall. LLCC goals for this project were:Increase conservation measures and energy efficiency in the targeted buildings.Invest in renewable energy technology applications that LLCC currently does not have.Use these conservation measures and renewable energy applications to educate users on making choices about conservation and renewable energy options that are applicable to their everyday lives.All three goals have been met and the project was under budget. In 10 years this collective education program will reach nearly 100,000 people who will attend LLCC and participate in its programs. This includes 55-60 K-12 schools annually and a number of other colleges and organizations who use LLCC. The project is completed with the monitoring equipment installed and tested during the last week in June. Final installation and testing of the Solar Panel for the Dining Hall was completed in May, 2012. An issue with the Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative regarding the 3 Phase inverter was solved resulting in the final installation. The issue was technical in nature and the inverter's Manufacturer's specifications were submitted to Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative, which they approved. The experience could assist in future solar projects with the cooperative. Overall the project went very well. However, over the 4th of July Holiday, LLCC experienced a lightning strike that disabled the entire phone system and the Directors computer, where the monitoring software was loaded. Aitkin County IT Department has rebuilt the computer and has re-installed the system at LLC.

Once implemented these technologies will be employed as demonstrations to be used in their educational curriculum for close to 85,000 visitors each year. These improvements may also be used as part of the New ERA (Energy Resource Advisor) program being developed by Winona State University that will offer adults a continuing education course intended to foster understanding and leadership of environmental sustainability in our communities, homes, and workplaces. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS In 2007, the six residential environmental learning centers (RELCs) of Minnesota organized a collaborative group naming themselves Today's Leaders For A Sustainable Tomorrow (TLFAST). The TLFAST group that collectively serves over 550 schools in the region and over 40,000 students annually, began an effort to raise the energy education capacity of each center, along with a stronger commitment to model sustainable energy practices. Needing a baseline to begin, the TLFAST group hired McKinstry Engineering in 2007 to conduct an energy audit of each facility and recommend the best efforts to reduce energy and/or carbon footprints at each center. The McKinstry recommendations were used as a basis for action items chosen to implement at each center. At Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center (WRELC), the ENRTF funding enabled four projects.Installation of an energy monitoring system that provides data on the generation and total consumption of energy, both electrical and heating, in each building of the facility. Use of the system provides accurate information to instructors of conservation lessons while also providing maintenance personnel with data to focus on documented energy wasting conditions.Upgrading the building envelopes in 5 buildings by replacing the worst insulating and sealing doors with a Curries Trio-E Door. This door product is one of the most energy efficient, highest performing commercial doors available. Following professional site evaluation and calculation, replacing the five doors will achieve savings of 125,034 kBtu or 42,673 kWh of energy. Four of the five doors are in buildings heated by wood, thus carbon neutral; at the fifth location, the door is calculated to conserve 2,888 kg of CO2.Upgrade to energy efficient interior lighting by conversion of the last of the campus' T12 fluorescent fixtures, 106 total, to T8 technology; a reduction of 33% energy use, thus 33% reduction in carbon footprint. Also upgraded was the entire outdoor campus lighting system by replacing all 46 fixtures with LED lighting technology. This achieved a 74% reduction in energy consumption and carbon footprint for lighting at the center.The addition of a solar domestic hot water heating system to the East Dormitory that houses 180 students. The installed system will supply 50% of the annual hot water need for the building occupancy while reducing the domestic hot water carbon footprint by 49%.A fifth project was originally proposed and approved with the ENRTF funding, a recapture of waste heat from refrigeration systems in the center's kitchen, but following initial work on the project, expert opinion and consultation quickly revealed problems and the project was aborted following an approved amendment for redistribution of funds. The budgeted funds were moved into three of the other four projects. As the project only recently concluded, data collection is not yet adequate to document the change in carbon footprint for the entire center, but examples listed above by project, provide via calculation the reductions in energy and/or carbon footprint. To further enhance the education effectiveness of these demonstrations, 24 energy education lessons were created with the ENRTF funding and have been implemented at the six respective centers. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION It is important within every energy sustainability learning experience that students' understand that to achieve energy sustainability the best investment value for the effort is to first begin with conservation, then move to increased efficiencies and finally to new renewable energy generation. Wolf Ridge chose and implemented projects that will demonstrate and be regularly used to teach all three concepts. On a daily basis our students will engage with energy efficient doors, view the trail in front of them lit by an energy efficient LED light fixture, see the panels that renewably generate the hot water for their shower, and learn from a monitoring system how much energy was used or conserved in their dormitory. These are the learning experiences that occur simply by living at WRELC as a student for a week. Immediately after the ENRTF funding was made available to the TLFAST group, the energy education specialists of the six centers met and outlined plans for over 20 new units of energy curriculum to be developed. Twenty-four new curricular units on energy were developed, pilot tested with students, refined, and written lesson plans were prepared with accompanying Minnesota graduation standards. Lessons were created for eight subject areas: biomass, climate change, conservation, efficiency, energy basics, food and energy, solar power and wind power. Developed lessons have been incorporated into curriculum in the following WRELC courses: Climate Change, Renewable Energy, and Conservation Challenge. All of the lessons as well as 19 point of action posters are available at the web site for free download, www.tlfast.org. The free and publicly available curriculum on the web site is also made available to the over 550 schools that attend the collective group of RELCs. See the comprehensive report from Eagle Bluff ELC that provides more detail on the educational dissemination of the collective effort of the six RELCs known collectively as TLFAST. The fulfillment of the project as per its title became evident even before the project was complete. Not only are the participants in WRELC programs learning from the demonstrated installations, but also political leaders, agency staff of Minnesota and corporate business leaders. To date 123 people have come to tour and learn from the sustainable energy installations including: the Ambassador of Sweden, leaders of several different offices of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, staff of US Senator offices, native tribal leadership and corporate leaders interested in renewable energy. In program participation, WRELC recorded 13,084 participants last year on the WRELC campus, with another 10,843 in off site programs. The on-campus attendance is an extremely consistent number of students that are annually learning from these models of energy sustainable practices at WRELC. With support from the ENRTF, WRELC is changing how our future generations will see their own future. What is considered ""cutting edge"" to adults, is being learned and viewed by our children as behaviors and technologies that are simply ""the appropriate way we live"" in the 21st century. Through this project we have furthered established this transformation for thousands of Minnesota children each year.",,"Final Report",2010-07-01,2012-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Kimberly,Skyelander,"The MN Coalition of RELCs","Wolf Ridge ELC, 6282 Cranberry Rd",Finland,MN,55603,"(218) 353-7414",director@wolf-ridge.org,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Cass, Fillmore, Lake, Pine, St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/demonstrating-sustainable-energy-practices-residential-environmental-learning-centers-rel-5,,,,

A list of proposed land restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"Restored 113 acres and enhanced 11,594 acres for a total of 11,707 acres. ",,,,1380000,126400,,1.5,DNR,"State Government","With this appropriation, the DNR enhanced and restored over 11,700 acres of public lands or permanently protected private lands under easement.  Projects under this appropriation included prescribed fire, prescribed or conservation grazing, woody removal, and enhancing plant diversity.  With this appropriation we were able to exceed our target acreage by 38 percent.   ",,"This project was a little different from the typical DNR grassland enhancement appropriations in that it did not include a Roving Crew and it was a little more focused on the south east part of the state than other DNR grassland enhancement appropriations have been.  That said, the types of projects are similar to what we've done in the past.  What makes this appropriation different, perhaps, is not the few large showcase projects we do, but the collective impact and benefits of many smaller projects on the landscape.   With this funds we were able to conduct prescribed fires on over 6000 acres and remove woody vegetation from almost 2000 acres of grassland.  Both of these types of projects are critical to grassland wildlife, especially birds.  Multiple studies have shown that nesting success of both game birds and songbirds is significantly impacted by woody vegetation.  Some species won't nest near tall trees and these trees also provide habitat for several types of nest predators.   There were several efforts to increase grassland diversity in brome or bluestem monocultures totaling 250 acres as well as restoration of over 100 acres.  This should increase habitat quality for pollinating insects as well as increase the abundance of insects that serve as a critical high protein food resource, especially for egg-laying birds and fast-growing young chicks.   We also completed invasive species control on over 2700 acres of grassland. 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,,,,

",,"Stream projects were prioritized 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 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.

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. Results from this project will allow for predictions into how EAB will affect northern Minnesota’s forests and will inform management recommendations for mitigating impacts of this exotic insect.",,"Work Plan",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund","In Progress",,,Anthony,D'Amato,"U of MN","1530 Cleveland Ave N","St. Paul",MN,55108,"(612) 625-3733",damato@umn.edu,,"University of Minnesota ",,"Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Carlton, Cass, Clearwater, Cook, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, Kanabec, Koochiching, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pine, Roseau, St. Louis, Stearns",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/ecological-and-hydrological-impacts-emerald-ash-borer,,,,

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

A list of restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.",,"Healthier populations of endangered, threatened, and special concern species as well as more common species. Large corridors and complexes of biologically diverse wildlife habitat typical of the unglaciated region are restored and protected. ",,18000,"Private grants ",300000,,,0.15,"National Audubon Society","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Floodplain forest enhancement projects were implemented at 10 sites covering 292 acres along the Mississippi River from Red Wing to the Iowa border.  We completed site preparation; controlled invasive species; planted trees and shrubs using a combination of direct seeding, bare root seedlings and large, potted trees; protected trees from deer and voles; completed post tree planting weed control; and installed willow and cottonwood cuttings.  Outcomes varied by site, ranging from poor to excellent tree seedling survival.    ",,"Audubon’s floodplain forest enhancement program was designed to sustain floodplain forest along the Mississippi River and the lower ends of major tributaries. These forests, which provide critical habitat for forest dependent birds, are under threat from invasive species like reed canary grass. Without active management these forests will continue to decline over time. Our program focused on controlling invasive species and regenerating a variety of tree and shrub species. We prepared sites for planting or natural regeneration using herbicide, disking, or mowing; planted tree seedlings, cottonwood cuttings, or direct seeded; protected trees from deer and voles; improved tree vigor and growth through selective thinning; and controlled weeds (herbicide, mowing) after planting. Our geographic scope included the Mississippi River from Hastings to the Iowa border, and the lower ends of major tributaries. Much of this area included state forest, Wildlife Management Areas, or National Wildlife and Fish Refuge lands. Our priorities were determined in cooperation with MN DNR, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and US Army Corps of Engineers. All projects were on public lands owned and managed by these agencies. Priorities were based on forest condition and threats, habitat needs, logistics, and access. Our goal was to prevent or control invasive species long enough to establish forest canopy and maintain a diverse forest structure that benefits birds and other wildlife. Our objectives were designed to utilize a variety of enhancement tools, monitor results, and apply that information to designing new projects. A description of each project is provided below. For several sites additional work will be completed with Phase 2 of our floodplain forest enhancement program. At Gores WMA, a 20-acre site north of Red Wing, we completed site preparation, planted bare root seedlings on 10 acres, and completed post planting weed control following tree planting on 10 additional acres that had been previously planted by US Army Corps of Engineers. At the Cannon River Collischan Road Willow Project, a 10-acre site near Red Wing, we treated reed canary grass and cut willow trees along strips to encourage aggressive expansion of willows to prevent reed canary grass encroachment into adjacent high quality floodplain forest. At Dukes Pond, a 22-acre site near Red Wing, we completed site preparation on 15 acres along the edge of existing high quality floodplain forest. Our intention was to plant trees the next fall on the treated area, but unusually high water prevented this from occurring. Bare root seedlings and potted trees had been purchased, so instead of planting the treated areas we planted 7 adjacent acres where DNR Forestry was planning a timber harvest. The planted trees will regenerate when the canopy opens up following harvest, and before reed canary grass can become established. At North Clear Lake, a 9-acre site north of Red Wing, bare root seedlings were planted in the understory of existing floodplain forest scheduled for harvest by DNR Forestry. The planted trees will give a head start to regeneration when the canopy opens up following harvest, and before reed canary grass can become established. At East Indian Creek Delta, a 55-acre site north of Weaver, site preparation was completed and tree and shrub seedlings were planted in an area dominated by ash trees. Shade tolerant seedlings will grow when the canopy opens up due to the death and decline of older trees. At Whitewater Delta, a 51-acre site near Weaver, buckthorn was removed and bare root seedlings and potted trees were planted in an area dominated by ash trees with pockets of reed canary grass. The seedlings will grow when the canopy opens up due to emerald ash borer impacts on the exiting trees. At Whalen Tract, a 55-acre site just north of the Iowa border, a variety of activities were completed including site preparation, tree planting, cottonwood cuttings, and post planting weed control. At Whitewater DNR, a 16-acre site approximately 5 miles upstream of the mouth of the Whitewater River, site preparation and direct seeding were completed. At Cannon River Bottoms State Forest, a 30-acre site near Red Wing, site preparation was completed and tree seedlings and potted trees were planted in open pockets of reed canary grass within existing forest scheduled for harvest. At Root River, a 93-acre site near La Crescent, a variety of activities were completed including site preparation, tree planting, cottonwood cuttings, direct seeding, and post planting weed control. At four of the above sites (Cannon River Collischan Road Willow project, Whitewater DNR, Root River, Whalen Tract) up to 8 acres within or near each site was also treated for reed canary grass and planted with different tree species and stock types. This was part of a LCCMR study evaluating reed canary grass control, and tree survival and growth. Evaluating success will take time. Because trees are slow growing, it can take a decade or longer for them to grow large enough to form a canopy, which will ultimately determine the success of these projects. Preliminary findings indicate initial survival of seedlings was variable. At some sites, post planting observations suggest low survival, however, small seedlings are difficult to locate in the forest understory. First year survival of bare root seedlings at the LCCMR study sites was 80-90%. Survival of potted trees at many sites was good, however there was some damage from deer. Other findings resulting from this grant included: post tree planting weed control and maintenance is essential for tree seedling survival; tree guards and deer repellent are effective at protecting trees from deer and voles; cottonwood cuttings were relatively easy to install and effective at establishing trees; swamp white oak were resilient, relatively fast growing, and resistant to deer browse making them a good choice for these sites; plantings on drier sites, with proper maintenance, take less time to establish than wetter sites; good natural regeneration can occur on some sites after exposing mineral soils; and back-up sites are needed to adjust to flooding situations which may prevent scheduled tree plantings. These findings have been incorporated into project management prescriptions. ",2014-07-01,2019-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tim,Schlagenhaft,"The National Audubon Society","2000 W.

","In FY 14 DNR will monitor the implementation of sustainable forest management guidelines and water quality BMPs on 80 – 100 timber harvest sites across 4 forested watersheds. Distribution of timber harvest and other forest changes will also be identified in these watersheds. The combined information along with specific watershed characteristics will be used to identify water quality risk factors within target watersheds and strategies to reduce those risks. Outreach programs will then be developed to work with forest landowners managers and loggers to implement strategies. Specific outcomes include: -Establishment of a protocol for identifying forest change at the watershed level that can also be applied statewide. -Identify the distribution of timber harvest and forest change in four watersheds including Mississippi Headwaters Rum River North Lake Superior and South Lake Superior. -Monitor the implementation of forest management guidelines and water quality BMPs through on-site investigation on a total of 80-100 sites across these 4 watersheds. -Progress in development of a protocol for identifying level of risk to water quality due to timber harvesting frequency and distribution level of BMP implementation and additional watershed characteristics Outreach programs based on above data will be developed in FY15.","In FY14 DNR foresters identified the distribution of timber harvest and forest change in four watersheds: Mississippi Headwaters Rum River Lake Superior South and Lake Superior North. 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. Contract work was delayed due to length of time required to get contract approvals. DNR is also developing a protocol for identifying level of risk to water quality due to timber harvesting frequency and distribution level of BMP implementation and additional watershed characteristics. The primary progress on this task was hiring a Research Analysis Specialist whose responsibilities will be focused development of this protocol. The hiring process was completed in early FY15 and significant progress will be made on this protocol in the coming year. Outreach development in FY14 included curriculum and video development for erosion control workshops to be held in the fall of 2014 and help creating a user-friendly field guide focused on forestry water quality BMPs which will be completed in FY15.",,,,41296,,,0.1,,,"The Minnesota DNR and the Minnesota Forest Resources Council work with forest landowners, managers and loggers to implement a set of voluntary sustainable forest management guidelines that include water quality best management practices (BMPs) to ensure sustainable habitat, clean water, and productive forest soils, all contributing to healthy watersheds. This project will monitor the implementation of these forest management guidelines and BMPs on forested watersheds in MN. Additionally, this project will identify timber harvest frequency and distribution as well as significant change to forest area including conversion of forests to other land uses, large fires, and blowdown events. An evaluation of the guideline implementation rates, watershed characteristics, and the frequency and distribution of forest change will be used to identify risks to water quality as well as strategies to reduce these risks, with the goal of maintaining high quality forested watersheds in MN. Outreach programs will be developed for forest landowners, managers and loggers throughout the target watersheds aimed at mitigating these risks such as improved implementation of specific BMPs. ","Forested watersheds in MN generally produce an abundance of high quality water. Much of our forested landscape is managed as productive forest land providing timber products as well recreational opportunities and abundant wildlife. Sustainable timber harvesting in combination with application of voluntary water quality BMP's has helped to maintain water quality in Minnesota's managed forest lands. However, risks to water quality in these landscapes still remain, with rates of BMP implementation, harvesting patterns, and watershed characteristics influencing the potential for impacts to occur at any given time or place.

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"".",,,,,,,,"City of Saint Paul, Dept of Parks and Recreation","Local/Regional Government","PROJECT OVERVIEW Outdoor classrooms provide students and community members with an opportunity to have hands-on experiences learning about the environment and about core subjects like science, math, and social studies using nature as the base context. This appropriation will help the city of St Paul develop an outdoor classroom at Como Regional Park that will provide environmental education, historical interpretation, and habitat for native wildlife in an inner-city community where environmental learning opportunities are rare. The development plan calls for control of invasive species for the 17 acre area, gravel pathways and signs to help visitors travel and interpret the site, and outdoor study areas featuring coniferous forest, oak savanna, tall-grass prairie, sedge meadow, transitional woodland, and propagation gardens for native plants. Site planners will work to establish the area as a MN DNR School Forest. PROJECT OVERVIEW Trends amongst youth are showing decreasing interest in the nature world and declining involvement in outdoor recreation. Some attribute these changes to increased usage of computers and other technology that compete for the attention of young people. Through this appropriation, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is partnering with several organizations to build on this potential contributing factor as being part of a possible solution by expanding a successfully piloted environmental education program that uses digital photography as a bridge between technology and outdoor experiences. Outdoor nature photography workshops for at least 1,000 teachers and naturalists are being conducted throughout the state that provide guidance on how to use outdoor digital photography to enhance student learning on classroom subjects including math, science, geography, arts, and language arts. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The City of Saint Paul developed a 17.65 acre outdoor classroom in Como Regional Park to provide environmental education, historical interpretation, and habitat for native wildlife in an inner-city community where environmental learning opportunities are rare. The woodland is located within five miles of over 75 public and private schools. To date, the Como Woodland Outdoor Classroom has been utilized by 2,103 students and educators. It has become the School Forest for Great River School and Crossroads Elementary School through the MN DNR's School Forest Program. The Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund's investment in the Como Woodland Outdoor Classroom has resulted in the development of outdoor study areas featuring coniferous woodland, oak savanna, tallgrass prairie, shortgrass prairie, transitional woodland, and terrace forest plant communities. Additionally, a propagation garden area has been constructed within the Classroom that will serve as a native plant demonstration garden for the public and will be utilized by students to grow native plants for the Classroom. ENRTF funds were also utilized to install 2,525 feet of ADA accessible gravel trails within the Classroom. Funds were used to install four entry signs at each of the major entrances to the Como Woodland Outdoor Classroom. 27 numbered, interpretative posts were installed at key locations throughout the site. The City of Saint Paul has received $17,000 from the Minnesota Historical Society and is in the final stages of developing a guide book to the cultural and natural history of the site, referencing these numbered posts. When published, the guide book will be an invaluable resource for educators wishing to bring students to the Como Woodland Outdoor Classroom. Community volunteers were engaged throughout the restoration process. 2,005 volunteers participated in restoration activities, including planting, invasive species removal, and trail construction.PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Our advisory committee, the Como Woodland Advisory Committee, has set up a website dedicated to the classroom: http://www.comowoodland.org/.. Progress about our project has been shared with the general public through our blog (http://restoresaintpaul.blogspot.com/.) and our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/saintpaulnaturalresources). Community volunteer events taking place in the classroom are highlighted on the City's website (http://www.stpaul.gov/index.aspx?NID=1043).

Up to $15,000 to Dakota County is for establishing a monitoring and enforcement fund as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17. Lands acquired or lands with easements acquired with this appropriation may not be used for emergency haying and grazing in response to federal or state disaster declarations. Conservation grazing under a management plan that is already being implemented may continue. A list of proposed land acquisitions and restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"Restored 696 acres, protected 14 acres in easement, enhanced 251 acres ",,480700,"Dakota County ",1190000,,,2.0,"Dakota County","Local/Regional Government","During this grant funding timeline, this project only protected one 14-acre, permanent natural area conservation easement; but was able to restore and enhance way more than the anticipated 178 acres and 157 acres, respectively, of wildlife habitat, by restoring a total of 696 acres and enhancing 251 acres prior to the funding deadline. ",,"Through the Dakota County Land Conservation Program, the County has been protecting high-quality natural areas for wildlife habitat and improved water quality, outside its regional park system, since 2003. As with many conservation acquisition efforts during the term of this grant, modifications were made to accommodate evolving circumstances. As a result, Dakota County acquired only one conservation easement that protected 14 acres of: wetlands (8.4 acres); a small portion of Chub Creek (145 feet); and 5.5 acres of cropland restored to natural vegetation. The County's voluntary program can be unpredictable. An application round is held each year to accept submittals for potential conservation easement projects. Project Prioritization Criteria are used to score and rank project applications.  Some projects move through the process to closing, and some stall-out or are withdrawn for a variety of reasons.  It's strange that only project was completed during the acquisition phase of this grant; which is why in future grants, the County extended the window of time to complete acquisitions, because sometimes it just takes more time to get to the closing. An extended acquisition timeframe will provide greater flexibility in completing projects. Regarding restoration efforts, the County successfully restored 696 acres, involving 15 parcels. The County requires not only Natural Resource Management Plans (NRMPs) for each natural area easement, but requires that landowners sign a Management Agreement (MA) that outlines restoration and maintenance activities, who is responsible for the work, and how each activity will be funded, using cost estimates from accepted contractor proposals. Restoration work involved enhancement of 251 acres of parcels that include 7 miles of shoreline. Restoration activities included: restoring agricultural land to natural vegetation; removing of invasive species, like buckthorn; establishing test areas to determine the most effective way(s) to remove invasive species; and forest and prairie seeding to re-establish or enhance native species diversity. Significant habitat restoration and enhancement occurred at Whitetail Woods-Vermillion Highlands in the central part of Dakota County. The largest, highest quality natural area within the Vermillion River Corridor is Vermillion Highlands. The 437-acre Whitetail Woods-Vermillion Highlands Habitat Project site is owned by Dakota County and is part of a larger landscape of protected lands encompassing more than 4,000 acres, including the adjacent Vermillion River WMA and AMA, and the Vermillion Highlands Research, Recreation and Wildlife Managment Area. This project restored or enhanced the following habitat types at the site: • Prairie: 117 acres restored and 37 acres enhanced • Forest:  113 acres enhanced • Wetlands: 11 acres restored and 101 acres enhanced  This site currently supports populations of Blandings turtle, eagle, sandhill crane, deer, eastern cottontail, wild fur-bearing game (fox, coyote, mink, and beaver), wild turkey, pheasant, wood duck, and other waterfowl. Restoration and enhancement activities anticipate an increase in the populations of these and many other species, which will augment populations on the adjacent WMA and AMA areas. In addition, the project anticipates more diverse populations of non-game species. Baseline populations will be monitored.

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. The symposium was attended by 100 people. The project website has links to recordings of all the symposium talks, as well as links to the MS Access database, species lists from all survey sites, and a photo gallery. We have published one paper (""Community phylogenetic diversity and abiotic site characteristics influence abundance of the invasive plant Rhamnus cathartica L."") in the Journal of Plant Ecology. A second paper based on results from our greenhouse experiment (Native plant diversity and introduced earthworms have contrasting effects on the success of invasive plants"") has been submitted to the peer-reviewed journal Biological Invasions. More papers are in preparation including one focusing on propagule pressure and another that documents the relationship between earthworms and buckthorn abundance.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2013-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Peter,Reich,"U of MN","220f Green Hall, Upper Buford Circle","St. Paul",MN,55108,"(612) 624-4270",preich@umn.edu,,"University of Minnesota ",,"Le Sueur, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Nicollet, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pine, Ramsey, Rice, Roseau, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, St. Louis, Steele, Todd, Wabasha, Wadena, Waseca, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/healthy-forests-resist-invasion,,,,

The Minnesota Zoo and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources are using this appropriation to conduct efforts aimed at preventing the extirpation and possible extinction of these butterfly species in Minnesota. Efforts will include expansion of both a butterfly research and conservation breeding program and ongoing butterfly survey and monitoring programs. Because of the ecological role of butterflies as pollinators and a food source for wildlife, analysis should also reveal important information about the greater prairie ecosystem and guide actions to be taken to protect it.",,http://www.lccmr.leg.mn/projects/2014/work_plans/2014_05j2.pdf,2014-07-01,2017-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Robert,Dana,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Rd, Box 32","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5086",robert.dana@state.mn.us,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Dodge, Douglas, Grant, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Marshall, McLeod, Murray, Nobles, Norman, Pipestone, Polk, Rock, Roseau, Sibley, Stearns, Swift, Traverse, Yellow Medicine",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/imperiled-prairie-butterfly-conservation-research-and-breeding-program-2,,,,

Contact","MHM's short and intermediate term goals for this project were exceeded in every measurable way. MHM's primary goal for the Lake Minnetonka Multiple Property Documentation Form (LMMPDF) Project was to produce a detailed and useable document that will allow maritime historians and underwater/nautical archaeologists to prioritize and type submerged cultural resources identified in Lake Minnetonka. Additionally, the second goal of the LMMPDF Project was to produce a National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) From for the Wayzata Bay Wreck located on the bottom of Lake Minnetonka. MHM completed the draft versions of these documents and submitted them to National Register Archaeologist David Mather of the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for his review in early June 2015. When the review of the draft documents is complete, MHM will work with David to produce final versions of these documents that will be presented to the proper committees for approval at the State and Federal levels. MHM has gone through this process in the past, with the Andy Gibson Wreck Site NRHP nomination. The fieldwork for that nomination took place between 2008-2010, the report was completed in 2011, and the nomination was successful in 2012. MHM a proven ability to stick with this process to its conclusion, as will be the case with the LMMPDF and Wayzata Bay Wreck NRHP. The measurable outputs of this project are two versions of the LMMPDF - one for the general public that has been uploaded to the Internet Archive that contains images throughout and one to be submitted by the SHPO to the National Parks Service for review, in their required format. Other measurable outputs of this project are two versions of the Wayzata Bay Wreck NRHP - one for the general public that has been uploaded to the Internet Archive that contains images throughout and one to be submitted by the SHPO to the National Parks Service for review, in their required format. MHM's production (output) of these four documents will achieve several positive outcomes for the people of Minnesota. The amount of knowledge that will be gained by the readers of these documents, particularly when it comes to the diversity, importance, and significance of Lake Minnetonka to our shared history, will be measurable to some extent in consideration of data collected on the number of times the reports have been accessed on the internet. Further, informational discussions will take place on MHM's FaceBook page and in public venues that stress the legalities of protecting submerged cultural resources and education about the details and histories of the underwater and maritime sites identified on the bottom of Lake Minnetonka. Most of these goals and outcomes will be accomplished in the long term as MHM continues to work in Lake Minnetonka and inform the public through publications and programs, activities the organization has been participating in for the last 10 years. Lastly, the two most significant outcomes of the LMMPDF Project will be acceptance of the MPDF and NRHP by the NPS so that they become part of Minnesota's Maritime Historical and Nautical Archaeological legacy.",,,"Available upon request.

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,,,,

A total of 90 acres were enhanced (exceeding the goal of 70 acres) through woody invasive species management, including forestry mowing, multiple herbicide treatments and native woodland grass and sedge seeding. These efforts dramatically transformed this site, which initially had such a dense sub-canopy of buckthorn that it prevented the regeneration of most other shrubs and trees.

A total of 90 acres of forest were enhanced (exceeding the goal by 20 acres) through woody invasive species management, including forestry mowing, herbicide applications and prescribed burning.   •  Pond Dakota Mission Park & Minnesota River Valley (City of Bloomington property) - This project along the Minnesota River in Hennepin County concluded in the spring of 2018 after crews completed a selective thinning of the forest canopy and removal of exotic tree and shrub species (buckthorn and honeysuckle).  Large material was hauled out of the valley while smaller material was piled and burned.  Over the course of the project, 22 acres were enhanced.   •  Terrace Oak Park - This forest enhancement project in Dakota County is complete and deliverables were met. A total of 19 acres of forest were enhanced through woody invasive species management, including forestry mowing and multiple herbicide treatments.   •  Trout Brook Nature Preserve - This prairie enhancement project in the Trout Brook Greenway in St. Paul was completed at the end of September 2017 and deliverables were met. 30 prairie acres were enhanced through woody invasive species removal, prairie establishment maintenance, woodland tree and shrub planting, and prairie pollinator nursery plot plantings.   The Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) added 32.4 acres to the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge through two high-priority fee title acquisitions. Both parcels are adjacent to the Refuge and a DNR Wildlife Management Area that is managed by the USFWS.   These acquisitions protected significant oak savanna, remnant prairie, oak basswood forest and seasonal ephemeral wetlands from residential development. An initial BioBlitz in 2018 identified more than 200 species, including the endangered Henslow’s Sparrow, Bloodroot, Pasqueflower, Kittentail (a state threatened species), Buffalo Bean, Bergamot and Common, Whorled and Green Milkweeds. Bur Oaks with wide branching limbs are indicative of historic oak savanna.   The OHF grant of $600,000 was leveraged with (1) $679,863 in other, private funds to complete the 20.56-acre acquisition and (2) $449,345 in other, private funds to acquire the 11.83-acre parcel. Total leverage was $1,129,208.   Habitat restoration and enhancement will include removal of invasive woody species, seeding the former building sites and prescribed fire. After restoration, the property will be transferred to the USFWS and opened to the public for hunting and other wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities.

In early 2018, the landowner approached MLT and Washington County with renewed interest but backed away again from the project. All of the funding through this grant to MLT was earmarked for this high-priority project. With the project not being finalized, we were unable to secure any deliverables for the grant and returned the majority of funding to the State.   The Trust for Public Land (TPL) was unable to spend most of this appropriation, as the owners of the prospective 194-acre addition to Bayport WMA unexpectedly changed their minds and signed a contract to sell the land to a developer. $20,000 in DNR Land Acquisition Costs was released to the DNR for their appraisal and administrative costs related to this project.

A list of proposed land restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"Enhanced 118 acres ",,507400,"Federal, MNTU, City of Duluth ",1900000,,,0.75,"MN Trout Unlimited","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Minnesota Trout Unlimited enhanced in-stream and riparian habitat for trout and other wildlife along coldwater streams located on public lands and Aquatic Management Area easements across the state.  We completed 12 separate projects encompassing 118 acres and 9.3 miles of stream habitat.  Leveraging other funding and efficiently contracting projects allowed us to increase the scope of some projects and adjust to changing conditions.  We enhanced more acres of habitat and more stream length than originally proposed.     ",,"Using FY2015 funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund (“OHF”), Minnesota Trout Unlimited (MNTU) completed twelve projects enhancing fish habitat in and along the following public waters (in these counties):   Spring Valley Creek (Fillmore) Vermillion River (Dakota) East Indian Creek (Wabasha) Lynch Creek (Fillmore) Trout Run Creek (Fillmore) Blackhoof River (Carlton) Coffee Creek (St. Louis) Kadunce River (Cook) Little Devil Track River (Cook) Stewart River (Lake) Straight River (Becker) We also completed design work on a Chester Creek project in Duluth, MN.  These projects were completed used methods similar to those used on projects completed by MNTU chapters in the past several years and also incorporated new research to improve project designs and fish and wildlife benefits.    The specific methods used on each stream varied depending upon the distinct natural resource characteristics of each watershed and ecological region, the limiting factors identified for each stream, and the variations in the type and magnitude of poor land uses practices within each watershed.  Methods were tailored accordingly, using the best available science, in close consultation with resource professionals within the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR).  Purposes:  Each project was designed and completed using techniques selected to accomplish one or more of the following purposes:  (a) increase or maintain adult trout abundance; (b) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream; (c) reconnect streams to their floodplains to reduce negative resource impacts from severe flooding; (d) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms; (e) increase habitat and biodiversity for both invertebrates and other non-game species; (f) be long lasting with minimal maintenance required; (g) improve angler access and participation; and (h) protect productive trout waters from invasive species. Habitat enhancement methods:  Methods used on each project included one or more of the following techniques: (1) sloping back stream banks to both remove accumulated sediments eroded from uplands areas and better reconnect the stream to its floodplain; (2) removing undesirable woody vegetation (invasive box elder, buckthorn, etc.) from riparian corridors to enable removal of accumulated sediments, reduce competition with desirable plant and grass species, and allow beneficial energy inputs (sunlight) to reach the streams; (3) stabilizing eroding stream banks using vegetation and/or rock; (4) selectively installing overhead and other in-stream cover for trout; (5) installing soil erosion prevention measures; (6) mulching and seeding exposed stream banks (including with native prairie plant species where appropriate and feasible); (7) improving or maintaining stream access roads and stream crossings to reduce erosion; (8) fencing grassy riparian corridors, including in such a way as to facilitate managed grazing, in order to prevent damage from over grazing; (9) placing large logs in northern forested streams to restore cover logs removed a half century or more ago; and (10) in northern forested watersheds with little cold groundwater, planting desirable trees in riparian areas to provide shade for the stream channel, help cool the water, and provide a source of future cover logs. Agricultural area example:  Many streams in the agricultural areas of southern and central Minnesota have been negatively impacted by many decades of poor land management practices.  The projects in southeast Minnesota used the following approach to address this: Erosion has led to wider, shallower and warmer streams, as well as excessive stream side sediments which regularly erode, covering food production and trout reproduction areas.  In many cases shallow rooted invasive trees have taken over the riparian corridors, out competing native vegetation which better secures soils, and reducing energy inputs to the stream ecosystem.  To remedy this, a typical enhancement project will involve several steps.  First, invasive trees are removed from the riparian zone and steep, eroding banks are graded by machinery to remove excess sediments deposited here from upland areas.  Importantly, this reconnects the stream to its floodplain.  Since many of these agricultural watersheds still experience periodic severe flooding, select portions of the stream banks are then reinforced with indigenous rock.  In lower gradient watersheds, or watersheds where flows are more stable, little or no rock is used.  After enhancement work is completed the streams flow faster and become deeper, keeping them cooler and providing natural overhead cover through depth and the scouring of sediments deposited by decades of erosion. Second, overhead cover habitat is created.  Bank degradation and the removal of native prairie or hardwoods have dramatically decreased protective overhead cover in the riparian zone.  Two methods are used to remedy this situation:  increasing the stream’s depth, which alone provides natural cover to trout, and installing overhead cover structures in select stream banks.  Wooden structures or tree trunks are often installed into banks in hydraulically suitable locations and reinforced with rock as a way to restore or recreate the undercut banks which had existed before settlement and agricultural land use altered the more stable flows which had gradually created and maintained them.    Finally, vegetation is reestablished in the re-graded riparian corridor to further stabilize banks and act as buffer strips to improve water quality.  Depending upon the specific site conditions, landowner cooperation, and agricultural use, native prairie grasses may be planted along the stream corridors, although often mixed with fast sprouting annual grains to anchor soils the first year.  2019 flooding demonstrated that, due to the unique soils in southeast valley floors, indigenous rock often must be added at the toes of the stream banks.   Taken together, these actions directly enhance physical habitat, and typically increase overall trout abundance, population structure, the number of larger trout, and levels of successful natural reproduction.  In addition to the benefits to anglers of increased trout habitat and trout abundance, project benefits extending well downstream include reduced erosion and sedimentation, cooler water temperatures, improved water quality and numerous benefits to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife populations.

It is estimated that Minnesota currently has about 200 million trees that would be susceptible to mountain pine beetle if it should become established here and loss of those trees would threaten wildlife habitat, water quality protection, and recreation. Researchers at the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture are using this appropriation to survey state locations for the presence of mountain pine beetle and to characterize the risk posed by the insect to Minnesota pine species. If detected early enough isolated populations of mountain pine beetle may be possible to control and a better understanding of how Minnesota’s particular pine species might react to the insect would guide future management response strategies.",,http://www.lccmr.leg.mn/projects/2014/work_plans/2014_04e2.pdf,2014-07-01,2017-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Mark,Abrahamson,"Minnesota Department of Agriculture","625 Robert St N","St. Paul",MN,55108,"(651) 201-6505",mark.abrahamson@state.mn.us,,"Minnesota Department of Agriculture",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Carlton, Cass, Chisago, Clearwater, Cook, Crow Wing, Fillmore, Houston, Hubbard, Isanti, Itasca, Kanabec, Kittson, Koochiching, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pine, Polk, Ramsey, Roseau, Sherburne, St. Louis, Stearns, Todd, Wabasha, Wadena, Washington, Winona",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/mountain-pine-beetle-invasive-threat-minnesotas-pines-2,,,,

North St. Paul is using the term Living Streets to describe a new type of street that will eventually replace most of the city's existing streets. Living streets are narrower and have less pavement than existing streets. Reducing the width of existing streets reduces construction costs and assessments to residents. It allows room for the installation of rainwater gardens to treat stormwater. Where there is a need, bike trails and sidewalks may be installed. Unlike existing streets that are only designed for cars, living streets are designed with rainwater gardens and street-side trees to remove pollutants from stormwater before the water enters area lakes. Narrower streets and street-side trees also slow traffic, creating a safe environment for everyone. Bike trails and sidewalks make it easy for all residents to exercise and connect with neighbors. The Living Streets approach will result in dramatic reductions in stormwater runoff volume and nutrient loading for downstream water resources. The demonstration project will provide a local example of the street design intended to be used throughout the street replacement program in North St. Paul over the next 30 years.

protect, restore and enhance 2,769 acres, primarily brushland, in northeastern Minnesota.  Habitat will be added to the WMA system and enhanced on existing public lands for species in greatest conservation need, outdoor recreation, and environmental benefits.","Problem and Scope:Until the 1880s, most of Minnesota was inhabited by sharp-tailed grouse where suitable open and brushland habitat, such as prairies, savannas, sedge meadows and open bogs, occurred.  This indigenous grouse was once one of Minnesota’s most abundant game birds, with over 100,000 harvested annually in the 1940’s.  Loss, degradation and fragmentation of open and brushland habitat within Minnesota due to natural succession and conversion to other land uses (cropland and tree plantations) has lead to a long term decline in this unique grouse’s population (estimated harvest of 16,800 in 2010), causing its listing as a species in greatest conservation need.  Today its remaining range in northern Minnesota, which is less than one-third of its historic range, is in jeopardy of additional fragmentation and degradation.      In east central Minnesota, research results have shown that genetic diversity of the sharp-tailed grouse population may be declining due to increasing isolation of subpopulations.  In nearby Wisconsin, genetic diversity has declined so greatly that Wisconsin DNR has translocated sharp-tailed grouse to create a genetic infusion to increase the likelihood of population persistence.  Increasing the amount of protected brushland habitat in northeastern Minnesota will be critical to the sustainability of the local sharp-tailed grouse population and gene exchange between Minnesota and Wisconsin populations.        Specific habitat that will be affected and how actions will directly restore, enhance, and/or protect them:Specific habitats to be affected will include up to 2,769 acres of openland, brushland, cropland and forest habitat.  Acquisition of the habitats and their transfer to MDNR for management as state WMA ,will protect them.  Natural habitats will include wet meadow, sedge meadow, shrub wetland, bog, grassland, and aspen and northern hardwoods forest.  They will be enhanced with prescribed burning, mowing, shearing, timber harvest, and possibly grazing, biomass harvest and occasional haying.  Other land includes hay, pasture and crop land that will be restored to open and brushland habitat through establishment of native vegetation, prescribed burning and natural succession. Multiple benefits: Multiple benefits of the above protection, enhancement and restoration actions will include increased plant and animal diversity, carbon sequestration, water retention and filtration, opportunities for biomass harvest, access to public lands for recreation, increases eco-tourism opportunities, economic benefits, and secure habitat for sharp-tailed grouse and other open and brushland species in greatest conservation need.  Wildlife species that will benefit: In addition to sharp-tailed grouse, several other species that use or depend upon open and brushland habitats are also in decline, listed as species in greatest conservation need, and will benefit from this project, including bobolinks, loggerhead shrikes, short-eared owls, yellow rails, eastern meadowlarks, American bittern, northern harrier, golden-winged warblers, Henslow’s sparrow, Le Conte’s sparrow, Nelson’s sharp-tailed sparrow, and American woodcock.  Six of these species are state listed as endangered, threatened or special concern.  Game species that will benefit include white-tailed deer, waterfowl (mallards, blue-winged teal, Canada geese, and more species during migration), wild turkey, American woodcock, common snipe, ruffed grouse, cottontail rabbit, snowshoe hare, fox, raccoon, and bobcat.  Many nongame species such as the Eastern bluebird, American kestrel, brown thrasher, gray catbird, common yellowthroat, sora rail, sedge wren, spring peeper and sandhill crane will benefit.     Urgency and opportunity:  If not acquired while the opportunities exist (i.e., willing sellers and funding opportunities), the chance to protect these priority tracts permanently from land practices incompatible as open and brushland wildlife habitat, and from fragmentation, parcelization and development may be lost.  Incompatible land uses, such as building sites, tree plantings, and uncontrolled natural succession, on a tract not only negatively impacts the tract directly, but also surrounding habitat by fragmenting the open character of the land and impacting area-sensitive wildlife species, such as sharp-tailed grouse that  are adapted to large open vistas.    How priorities were set / Parcel selection and scoring process:For consideration of protection and enhancement efforts by the partnership, open and brushland tracts must be located within or at the edge of an ECS landtype association identified as a priority open landscape through DNR’s SFRMP landscape planning process.  Further criteria to prioritize which tracts are most critical include a ranking system based upon county location, distance to active sharp-tailed grouse lek, tract size, and distance to protected brushland.  A sharp-tailed grouse habitat use model (attached) is being used to target brushland habitat for protection, restoration and enhancement.    Science-based strategic planning and evaluation: This proposal is based on science-based strategic planning and evaluation.   Biological planning, conservation design, delivery, monitoring and research, and adjustments in strategies as needed are used to maintain an adaptive approach. Sharp-tailed grouse leks (dancing grounds) are the essential hubs of subpopulations. Nesting and brooding rearing occur in suitable habitat within approximately a two-mile radius of leks.  All but one of the parcels proposed for protection have active leks either located on them or within ¾ mile away.  All tracts will be critical to sustaining nesting and brood rearing habitat for subpopulations of sharp-tailed grouse.  Research by Stanley Temple in Wisconsin suggests that suitable habitat patches of 4000 ha (roughly 10,000 acres, 15½ sq. miles, or a 2.2 mile radius circle) are needed for a sharp-tailed grouse population to survive.  A pilot study in Aitkin County was conducted in 2009 to examine habitat selection, nest success and survival of sharp-tailed grouse.  Data from this study and a two-year study currently underway will provide addition information for adaptive management. Annual spring surveys of sharp-tailed grouse leks allow for monitoring of local populations and the effect of habitat protection and enhancement and other land management activities on them.       Level of stakeholder opposition and involvement:No stakeholder opposition to proposed acquisitions has been encountered.  Proposals to protect land and manage them as public conservation lands are locally-driven by conservation groups, hunters, conservation agency staff, and willing sellers due to the multiple benefits such land protection and management can provide.  Local government has been or will be contacted and their support sought.",,2014-07-01,2019-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Ward,Julien,"Minnesota Sharp-tailed Grouse Society","644 - 107th Lane NW ","Coon Rapids",MN,55448,"((763)754) 8361-",wjulien@peoplepc.com,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Carlton, Kanabec, Pine, St. Louis","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/northeastern-minnesota-sharp-tailed-grouse-habitat-partnership,,,,

","The Northern tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge was established to preserve, restore and manage a portion of the remaining critical northern tallgrass prairie habitat and associated habitats at widespread locations throughout the western Minnesota and northwestern Iowa historic range. Only 5 percent of the original tallgrass prairie remains for preservation consideration throughout the entire historic tallgrass prairie range. Native prairie declines of 99.9% and 99.6% have occurred in Iowa and Minnesota, respectively. Grassland dependent bird species have shown steeper, more consistent, and geographically more widespread declines than any other group of North American birds. The number of acres purchased annually has been limited due to funding shortfalls since the establishment of this refuge. The current land acquisition budget cannot keep up with landowner interest? in this program. This funding will allow us to better meet refuge goals and objectives to protect this vanishing habitat.

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.

There is a need to bridge the information gap between researchers and the public to help improve environmental education about the river. The Water Resources Center at Minnesota State University - Mankato is using this appropriation to develop educational materials and a multimedia virtual field trip that showcase, in an engaging format, what natural resource experts have learned about this unique area of our state. The materials and virtual field trip will be available on the internet and at informational kiosks placed at the Treaty Site History Center near St Peter, the Regional River History Center in New Ulm, the Ney Nature Center near Henderson and the Clean Up the River Environment (CURE) Office in Montevideo. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Considerable public funding and effort has gone into better understanding and restoring the Minnesota River. Research about the river is housed in an array of scientific publications not easily accessible for the public. This project helps to bridge the information gap between researchers and the public and to generally improve environmental education about the river. The project's goal is to increase public awareness about the river's health by using new media techniques to engage students and the public. Major results included 1) developing and delivering the ""Ask an Expert about the Minnesota River"" website and 2) performing educational outreach. This project developed a multi-media virtual field trip with accompanying educational materials to showcase what scientists are learning about the Minnesota River. Citizens have a unique opportunity to learn directly from natural resource experts about the current state of the Minnesota River. Video clips of interviews and related information are available online on the Minnesota River Basin Data Center website: http://mrbdc.mnsu.edu/learn. Online Educational Website - Ask an Expert about the Minnesota River Video clips of scientist and citizen experts answering questions about the river's health are the central feature of the website enriched by accompanying handouts, and graphics. Specifically, the major features of the website include:171 video clips of experts answering questions;27 handouts with background information developed to enrich each theme;9 panoramic virtual tours and 20 slideshows;5 educator's guides and 7 accompanying PowerPoint presentations on prairies, wetlands, agriculture, fish, and mussels.Educational outreach and learning stations Four computer kiosks (learning stations) were installed at key educational centers across the basin - specifically Treaty Site History Center in St. Peter, MN; Regional River History Center in New Ulm, MN; Ney Nature Center in Henderson, MN; and Clean Up the River Environment (CURE) office in Montevideo, MN - likely reaching 4,000-8,000 people in the upcoming year. Open houses at the four educational centers and other events directly reached approximately 349 people during the project period. Four school classroom presentations reached approximately 371 students. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The broad dissemination goals for the project are to share data with the public, students and teachers through both traditional and nontraditional outreach methods. The dissemination of this project proceeded at several levels. All the project data is available on the web in a user-friendly format. Computer kiosks (learning stations) highlighting the project were developed and installed in four key river and history centers across the basin. We also conducted outreach to three schools and four educational centers that included presentations and open houses. We have also used social media resources such as Facebook and YouTube to disseminate information about the project. We worked collaboratively with a wide range of state and local agencies (MPCA, MDNR, Department of Agriculture, etc.) and citizen organizations (CURE, Ney Nature Center, Nicollet County Historical Society) to develop and publicize the project. Project staff have spoken about the project to local and state officials and staff, nonprofit organizations, teachers and students, and citizens. The project has received attention at scientific meetings (both poster session in 2011 and presentation in 2012 at the Minnesota Water Resources Conference) and educational training (DNR Naturalists). The project team plans to continue outreach to schools and putting on public events to promote the project and further raise public awareness about the Minnesota River.",,"Final Report",2010-07-01,2012-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Kimberly,Musser,"MN State University - Mankato","184 Trafton Science Center S",Mankato,MN,56001,"(507) 389-5492",kimberly.musser@mnsu.edu,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Stearns, Steele, Stevens, Swift, Traverse, Waseca, Watonwan, Yellow Medicine",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/online-field-trip-minnesota-river,,,,

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

The RFP, Program Manual, and all grant agreements incorporated appropriate principles and criteria from the L-SOHC’s 2010 Call for Funding Requests and associated legislation.Applications were accepted electronically, with grants selected for funding twice a year. Any ungranted funds from the first cycle were available for use in a following cycle.Applications were submitted electronically using CPL’s Online Grant Application System (OLGA). All project sites were mapped using OLGA’s mapping tool. OLGA accepted applications beginning in August, 2010 until the deadline for the first round of grants in mid-September, 2010. The application system did not accept applications during the review process. OLGA was re-activated in mid-February, 2011 to accept applications for a second round of grants.CPL Grant Program Staff reviewed applications to make sure they were complete and met grant program requirements. Technical Review Committee(s), selected by the Commissioner of Natural Resources reviewed and scored applications based on criteria established by the L-SOHC, MN State Legislature and DNR. These committees included representatives from DNR, BWSR, the University of MN, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and other appropriate members from both government and non-profit organizations. A final ranking committee made up of the Chief Financial Officer, and Directors of the DNR Divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Ecological Resources/Waters, and Forestry recommended projects and funding levels to the Commissioner of Natural Resources. The Commissioner made the final decision on the projects funded and funding levels.Every effort was made to evenly distribute the selected grants by geographic location, activity, and funding level, with an objective of granting 50% of the funds to projects above $125,000, and 50% of the funds to projects below $125,000.CPL Grant Program staff work with grantees to ensure financial reviews, grant agreements, and any other necessary paperwork are completed.

A final report was required by all grantees 30 days after the project was complete.CPL Grant Program staff compiled grantee reports and submitted an annual accomplishment report to the L-SOHC by February 1 and August 1 of each year. This report contained information on the number of agreements made, amount of reimbursement paid to grantees, accomplishments by grantees, number and status of remaining open agreements, and administrative costs. Accomplishment information was also posted on L-SOHC and DNR websites.",2010-07-01,2013-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Jessica,Lee,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road, Box #20 ","Saint Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5233",jessica.lee@state.mn.us,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Becker, Carver, Clay, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Freeborn, Grant, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Koochiching, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Le Sueur, Lyon, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mower, Nicollet, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Polk, Pope, Ramsey, Redwood, Sibley, Steele, Stevens, Swift, Swift","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/outdoor-heritage-conservation-partners-grant-program-fy-2011,,,,

Participants were asked by Climb Theater to complete brief written evaluations after each session. In those evaluations, participants said if not for this opportunity it would have been unlikely that they would have taken an improv class. Cost, transportation and interest were the barriers they reported to be most significant. 2: Improv proved to be an effective modality for youth awaiting adoption and parents contemplating adopting to interact with each other. Climb Theater requested written evaluations from participants after each session. In retrospect, that format was probably not the best for garnering thoughtful feedback from teens.

In talking with legal representatives, MSU,M and PAM staff agreed with the attorneys: suggestions that a MOU, rather than the :partnership agreement: identified in the grant application, more accurately reflected the desired working relationship. The successful outcome resulted from MSU,M and PAM leadership having worked together informally over the years; during the grant period holding many discussions, some facilitated; and timely, thoughtful work of the facilitator, lawyers, and MSU,M and PAM staff. Indicator 2, short-term progress indicator: Generate 15 ideas of possible curriculum changes to further develop and vet in Year Two. Grant work exceeded the target. Defining :curriculum: as the totality of student experience, grant work generated 27 suggestions/recommendations: one course alteration, four conceptual courses, five challenges to consider, six best practices for department administration and organization, seven student engagement ideas, and four community engagement ideas. See uploaded Action Plan, Objective 3 for discussion of the suggestions/recommendations. The successful outcome resulted from amending MSU,M staffing to allow an off-duty faculty member to conduct a site visit and write curriculum suggestions/recommendations based on that visit and four other site visits. Indicator 3, short-term progress indicator: Include two departments from MSU,M in a partnership agreement with PAM. Grant work demonstrated progress toward the target. In the future, other short term work may result in a second department joining the first department, Urban and Regional Studies Institute, in signing the Memorandum of Understanding (a type of partnership agreement) drafted during the grant period.

See uploaded Action Plan, Objective 4 for the Memorandum of Understanding draft. MSU invited faculty from the Nonprofit Leadership program to contribute to the discussion. Future phases of this work will continue to include this department, and may expand to include others as well. The successful outcome to date resulted from discussions to develop the MOU. As partnership work continues, additional departments may be interested in signing the MOU. Indicator 4, intermediate progress indicator: Add or change content to 3 to 5 existing courses which better serve the needs of public servants in relation to their communities: old buildings. As noted under indicator 2, MSU,M staff suggested alteration to one existing course to improve the curriculum. See uploaded Action Plan, Objective 3 for discussion of the suggestion/recommendation.

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.

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,,,,

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.

Sealing of these wells will prevent surface water from flowing into deep aquifers directly. Through this grant the RCD will provide cost share to homeowners to help in the cost of sealing their abandoned/unused wells.

The outcomes from this workshop are important to the materials, processes, and product necessary in my art.

Materials: The accompanying conference is advertised as the largest bead consumer market in the world. I will learn about the materials that will best work with my art and have a place to purchase them. Processes: I will visit with other beaders and learn from their experiences and beadwork. The beadwork in various exhibitions at this conference will be inspiring. Product: My art will immediately show the results of this workshop. For example I am trying to make beaded shapes as elements in my designs and need one-on-one guidance how to make them. As a result my beaded shapes will look more like the images in my imagination. I punch holes in my copper shapes for threading beads. I will learn what threading materials work best with the sharp hard edges of copper.

Were any new opportunities for collaborations with other artists identified? Reflect upon the presentation and reception of the work during this trip.

Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grants process. The Minnesota Historical Society shall administer these funds using established grants mechanisms, and with assistance from the advisory committee created herein.",,,,2180,,,,,,"Center for Hmong Studies",," An interpretive exhibit, ""Hmong History Through Textile"", was created to show the relationship between Hmong history and the changing styles of traditional clothing and the ""story cloth"". Paj ntaub (flower cloth) is a form of textile artwork used to decorate women's skirts, men's collars and story cloths. The design of tradtional Hmong clothing identifies its wearer by familial, political, cultural and geographical connections. After the Vietnam War, thousands of Hmong were displaced. Pre-war story cloths had geometric designs. Post-war women in refugee camps designed explicit depictions of political turmoil and real-life experiences. Eventually, there was a market outside of the Hmong community for these story cloths and the depictions shifted to folk tales. The initial research for the exhibit was conducted by a professional exhibit development consultant. This consultant reviewed the literature, consulted with private collectors and museums and took a survey of institutions having Hmong artifacts, exhibits and/or relevant information.   Fifty seven artifacts to be used in the exhibit were cataloged and the information put in a spreadsheet by an intern. The exhibit was then designed and the mounts and  labels created for the artifact display.                                                                                                                                   The exhibit runs from September 15, 2011-January 15, 2012 at the Center for Hmong Studies at Concordia University.

Evaluation and Outcome Plans. These RIM easements are a part of a comprehensive public-private partnership to establish and restore permanent conservation easements on riparian buffers to keep water on the land in order to decrease sediment, pollutant and nutrient transport, reduce hydrologic impacts to surface waters and increase infiltration for groundwater recharge. RIM easements are selected to meet local identified water quality goals within the larger scope of Minnesota's clean water efforts. The long-term evaluation of clean water fund projects will be monitored as part of the state's intensive watershed monitoring strategy. RIM easements are subject to ongoing inspection to ensure compliance for the duration of the easement in accordance with established guidelines. ",,,,,,,,,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources","State Government"," This program is a part of a comprehensive clean water strategy to prevent sediment and nutrients from entering our lakes, rivers, and streams; enhance fish and wildlife habitat; protect groundwater and wetlands. Specifically the Riparian Buffer Easement Program targets creating buffers on riparian lands adjacent to public waters, except wetlands. Through the Reinvest in Minnesota Program (RIM) and in partnership with Soil and Water Conservation Districts and private landowners, permanent conservation easements are purchased and buffers established. In 1986, the Reinvest in Minnesota Resources Act was enacted to restore certain marginal and environmental sensitive agricultural land to protect soil and water quality and support fish and wildlife habitat. Utilizing the RIM conservation easement program, conservation easements on riparian lands adjacent to public waters, are purchased. Lands that were targeted were new or existing USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts with cropping history. Participating landowners receive a payment to retire land in agricultural production and to establish permanent buffers of native vegetation that must be at least 50 feet where possible and no more than 100 feet.Buffer strips of native vegetation will be established on the above easement acres, all of which are adjacent to public waters. The program is targeted to critical CRP acres so these areas would be permanently protected instead of enrolled in short-term easements. These buffers slow and prevent sediment from entering lakes, rivers and streams, reduce hydrologic impacts to surface waters and increase infiltration for groundwater recharge. Minnesota currently has just over 200,000 acres of Conservation Reserve Program in buffer practices at various stages of their 10-15 year contracts, some soon to expire. The buffer initiative compliments other programs, both existing and yet to be developed, over the next 25 years. A statewide sign up began Dec. 1, 2009.

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 OVERVIEWThe Soudan Iron Mine near Ely, Minnesota is no longer an active mine and is now part of a state park, as well as the home to a state-of-the-art physics laboratory at the bottom of the mine. The mine has also recently been discovered to contain an extreme environment in the form of an ancient and very salty brine bubbling up from deep below the Earth's surface through holes drilled when the mine was active. Strange microorganisms - part of an ecosystem never before characterized by science - have been found living in the brine. Scientists from the University of Minnesota will use this appropriation to:Study this unique ecosystem and its organisms;Examine the potential of using the microorganisms for applications in medicine, energy production, and other areas;Develop a program to educate mine visitors about the brine ecosystem and its organisms.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The Soudan Iron Mine near Ely, MN is home to an extreme environment where microorganisms are thriving 2300 feet below the surface in an ancient, salty brine. Though mining operations have been closed for almost 50 years, the mine is now a State Park managed by Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources. Visitors can tour the mine, learning about the history of mining at Soudan and can also tour the state-of-the-art physics laboratory built at the bottom of the mine. Just a few hundred feet away from the physics laboratory, bubbling up from holes drilled in the last days of iron mining, is strange water - an incredibly salty brine that lacks any oxygen gas - and strange microorganisms (bacteria and other single-celled microbes) living in the water. Our work has resulted in the characterization of the level 27 brine with respect to its chemical makeup, the rate that the brine mixes with surface water, cultured and uncultured microbial communities living in the brine, and speciation of minerals found in the brine channel. We have also specifically cultured about two dozen microorganisms from the mine that produce potent anti-fungal compounds, several of which have been shown to have activity against fungal pathogens. We have also isolated several novel species of iron oxidizing and iron reducing bacteria, which we continue to characterize. Finally, we developed an interactive touchscreen display and presentation about subsurface microbiology and geochemistry, specifically highlighting our work from this project. The goal of this touchscreen display is to both educate citizens of Minnesota broadly about subsurface microbiology and highlight some of the most exciting results from our project in a way that is broadly accessible to non-scientists. Findings from this project formed the basis for a follow-up project begun in 2013 - ""Harnessing Soudan Mine Microbes: Bioremediation, Bioenergy, and Biocontrol"" - that is to exploring potential applications of using the microorganisms living in Soudan Iron Mine for removing metals from mine waters, producing biofuels, and developing a biocontrol for White-Nose Syndrome, which is decimating bat populations around the country. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Project results have been disseminated through presentations made by students and investigators supported on this project. Co-Investigator Prof. Brandy Toner has presented research from our project at an international meeting in 2011 (Goldschmidt Conference, Prague, Czech Republic) and at a national meeting in 2012 (American Geophysical Union, San Francisco, CA). Prof. Jeff Gralnick presented some of the work supported by this project at the TEDxUMN 2012 event, students working on this project gave several poster presentations at national and local meetings (2 presentations in 2012, 4 presentations in 2013). Two scientific publications are currently in preparation (first authors Lindsey Briscoe from the Toner Lab and Benjamin Bonis from the Gralnick Lab) and one has been published in the open access journal of the American Society of Microbiology mBio (Summers, ZM, JA Gralnick and DR Bond. 2013. mBio. Cultivation of an obligate Fe(II)-oxidizing lithoautotrophic bacterium using electrodes. Jan 29;4(1)e00420-12.). Our project was also featured by several media outlets including the Northland's Newscenter, WCCO Channel 4 in the Twin Cities, MoBio's blog, and the University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences. Our specific outreach component for this project was to purchase, design and implement an interactive touch screen display for the Visitor's Center at the Soudan Underground Mine State Park. We purchased the equipment (computer, 42 inch touch screen display, mounting bracket, security cables) and have finished the first presentation featuring work from this project. The installation will take place before the mine reopens for visitors for the 2014 season.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2013-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Jeffrey,Gralnick,"U of MN","1479 Gortner Ave","St. Paul",MN,55108,"(612) 626-6496",gralnick@umn.edu,"Analysis/Interpretation, Assessment/Evaluation, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Research","University of Minnesota ",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/science-and-innovation-soudan-underground-mine-state-park,,,,

This would be the fourth volume in the Poetic Strokes series – previous contests took place in 1999-2001 and had ceased due to limited funding. 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. Bringing Spanish Poetry to Life in SE Minnesota Bringing Spanish Poetry to Life in SE Minnesota brought the Deborah Elias Danza Española Company (St. Paul, MN) to five communities in southeastern Minnesota. The program provided both classroom lecture/demonstrations and public performances of “The Moon’s Desire.” Both of these activities focused on acquainting the audience with poet Federico García Lorca and Spanish poetry in general as well as Spanish music and dance. Throughout the course of the program, 12 partners assisted in the delivery of performances. The schools not only provided students and classroom time, the Spanish classes studied poetry and traditional dance weeks prior to the presentations. The public libraries assisted in promotion for the public performances with displays of relevant library material to attract attention. Other organizations either hosted the public performance and/or assisted with additional promotion and program preparation. The 20 classroom presentations were attended by 586 students. The four public performances had a total of 283 attendees. Combined, there were 869 audience members for this program. All survey respondents said there was an increase in their awareness of Lorca and of the flamenco dancing style. The public performances yielded a desire to learn more of Spanish poetry and the students said they learned more of the language and culture of Spain. Amusingly, one student at LaCrescent found ways around her schedule to attend the program in three different classes.

",,"Total Number of Programs Held:98 Total Attendance:31,757 Total Number of Partnerships:140 In-Kind Staff and Partnership Contributions: $154,985 Program Highlights Poetic Strokes The Poetic Strokes contest called for local poets to submit an original piece to be considered for publication in the regional anthology, Poetic Strokes. This would be the fourth volume in the Poetic Strokes series – previous contests took place in 1999-2001 and had ceased due to limited funding. 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. Bringing Spanish Poetry to Life in SE Minnesota Bringing Spanish Poetry to Life in SE Minnesota brought the Deborah Elias Danza Española Company (St. Paul, MN) to five communities in southeastern Minnesota. The program provided both classroom lecture/demonstrations and public performances of “The Moon’s Desire.” Both of these activities focused on acquainting the audience with poet Federico García Lorca and Spanish poetry in general as well as Spanish music and dance. Throughout the course of the program, 12 partners assisted in the delivery of performances. The schools not only provided students and classroom time, the Spanish classes studied poetry and traditional dance weeks prior to the presentations. The public libraries assisted in promotion for the public performances with displays of relevant library material to attract attention. Other organizations either hosted the public performance and/or assisted with additional promotion and program preparation. The 20 classroom presentations were attended by 586 students. The four public performances had a total of 283 attendees. Combined, there were 869 audience members for this program. All survey respondents said there was an increase in their awareness of Lorca and of the flamenco dancing style. The public performances yielded a desire to learn more of Spanish poetry and the students said they learned more of the language and culture of Spain. Amusingly, one student at LaCrescent found ways around her schedule to attend the program in three different classes.

10013418,"Steele County Great War Centennial and Federated Inventory Program",2015,94816,"MN Laws 2013 Chaper 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 5 History Partnerships","$2,000,000 the first year and $2,000,000 the second year are for partnerships involving multiple organizations, which may include the Minnesota Historical Society, to preserve and enhance access to Minnesota's history and cultural heritage in all regions of the state.","Available upon request. Contact:grants@mnhs.org","We can approach our metrics by considering our to-date performance on; (1) short term, (2) intermediate and (3) long term goals. To an extent the goals set forth for this project reflect our continued involvement with the interpretive partners. However, there is a great deal of mutual benefit from continued involvement with the township governments as they are the caretakers of our official rural heritage. 1.We set three short term goals; (a) a federated collections inventory, (b) visibility and (c) capacity. a.The inventory is already proving valuable to several of the organizations. The sPs and OHSM are planning Legacy Grants to process portions of their collection. The inventory, along with minimal information from our experience, tells them nearly exactly how much labor the project will require. We were also able to use the inventory to locate numerous materials essential to completing both the exhibition and programming of this project. Additional opportunities have also been gleaned through dialogue. b.To date this project has yielded two feature newspaper stories, a story in an area magazine and reports in the newsletters of the partners. This has cross pollinated and expanded our constituencies, which benefits all partners. We anticipate this will magnify as we are now in the construction phase of the exhibition and firming up the planning for a selection of the recommended community events. With the exhibition deployed at six locations throughout the county, the visibility and visitation for all involved is certain to continue to increase. c.The project has increased the capacity of many of the interpretive partners. This has particularly been true for the smaller organizations that are dependent exclusively on volunteers : having access to paid professionals. Through our partnership we have assisted with numerous projects and planning meetings. Capacity for the SCHS should have probably been considered an intermediate or long term goal, however. While capacity has already been increased, it is probable that our involvement with the partners will continue to grow access to a much greater pool of talent. 2.We set two intermediate goals; (a) collections strategy and (b) sharing knowledge, skills and resources. a.The inventory has allowed the SCHS to begin more complete analysis of collections that may be deaccessioned. We are however waiting to attend the spring session of MAHLM which is hosting a presentation on deaccessioning before we begin casting off portions of our collection. For other partners, discussion of collections strategy has become an analog to review overall function of the group. This growth has just begun and is exciting for us. b.This benefit has largely been enjoyed by the smaller partners who have gained access to professional staff to assist with their projects or advise on planning. And this arrangement furthers the SCHS mission. By assisting these organizations we are directly impacting the preservation of Steele County History. Additionally, the SCHS anticipates that this will pay dividends in the long term transition : connecting us with more people : allowing greater partnership : connecting us with more people. 3.We set one long term goal, the building of enduring relationships. Long term goals should reflect consistent and continued effort. In this case we have defined success based on continued meetings/aid after the project ends. While we cannot predict the future, we are in a place for success. We are currently working directly with several of the organizations on a monthly basis. These are organizations we previously talked to, maybe, annually. With regards to our township partners, we will continue to attend the annual township association meeting as well as attending one meeting for each township annually. Additionally, we hold one collections workshop each year and the townships will receive an invitation, gratis. If this formula is followed, we will achieve our goal and will stay plugged into the heartbeat of rural Steele County.",,,"Available upon request, grants@mnhs.org",94816,,"Bev Falteysek, Kaye Fransen, Jerry Ganfield, Joanne Giga, Mike Jensen, Kirby Knutson, Patty Jessop, Jerry Lewison, Renee Lowery, Linda Shaw, Paul Swenson, Brad Vettrus, David Wavrin, Diane Wilson, Marilyn Witzel",0.26,"Steele County Historical Society","Non-Profit Business/Entity","To form a partnership in order to provide services to, and help coordinate preservation of historic resources for, the various historical organizations around Steele County.",,"Partners: Steele County Historical Society, Minnesota State Public School Orphanage Museum, Owatonna High School Museum, Little Theater of Owatonna, Ellendale Area Heritage Society, Medford Historical League This partnership of Steele County history organizations will commemorate the centennial of the entrance of the United States into the Great War (World War I).

Normal lenses do not allow perspective control and can alter the shape and direction objects appear when they are placed close to the edge of the frame. The focal length of the lens I would like to purchase is one that most of my photography is created with. Using this lens will help me add a true representation of what I would like to capture, and the quality of my prints in terms of sharpness will also improve over my current abilities. My measurable outcome will be instantly noticeable for me when I use this wide angle lens for any composition I choose and can control the natural distortion that can happen on the outside edges of a framed scene. When using a precision piece of equipment, great clarity in the image itself is possible. This will become apparent when I make my enlargement prints.I would be able to physically see the effects of this lens while I am working on making a photograph. During composition, I would be in control of perspective. By making sure I am able to accurately represent to my taste the scene I am photographing, my artwork will become even more my own. By comparing images from different lenses, I would see the difference in the images by the shape changes that can occur when using a standard lens versus the tilt/shift I would like to purchase. My goal is always to see my finished images in print, and I prefer to do enlargements. By enlarging a file during digital printing, focus and clarity become the main concerns for me. Traditional lenses can have problems with focus when objects are both very close and very far. The tilt/shift lens allows me to also control my focus plane, meaning I can more easily keep everything in my photograph in focus. This will result in a more pleasing enlargement print.","By reviewing the photographs I have created using the equipment purchased I was able to determine the lens has had a drastic impact on my photography.

The equipment that we have used in the past has always been a collaboration of equipment we individually own. Although our equipment does work, it only allows us to utilize the bare minimum of not only what is possible through the program we use to make music, but also our musical abilities. Because we have such outdated equipment, we can't use the many new features our digital music program has to offer. Also, due to the low quality of our equipment, many technical difficulties happen while performing that only makes the experience for the public less enjoyable. Through the acquisition of new equipment, technical difficulties would be almost completely absent, and our live performances would enhance greatly through the learning and utilization of newer techniques almost immediately. This would instantly give the public a better experience of our musical abilities. We are constantly practicing and evaluating ourselves as musicians. Our biggest evaluation of ourselves comes through encouraging and pushing each other as musicians and comments from the public. Through the many hours of research we've done on what is possible with fully functional equipment, there are over twenty new techniques we could learn and utilize for live performances and recording. The measurable outcomes associated with ourselves learning these new techniques would be evaluated through comments from the public, other musicians, and our fans. These comments would be important in both a qualitative and quantitative format. This would be our biggest indicator of the positive impact our new equipment has made both on the public and ourselves.","Measurable outcomes include: amount of performances using equipment, amount of musical projects recorded with equipment, amount of time spent practicing with equipment.",,1378,"Other, local or private",1960,,,,"The Crunchy Bunch",Individual,"Technology/Equipment Grant for Individual Artist",,"Seeking to invest in more reliable equipment for our performances.

Minnesota has more than 680 designated trout streams that represent a valuable natural resource having high economic, sport, and habitat importance. However, over the long term this resource is under threat from climate change, which will likely increase stream temperatures and could detrimentally impact trout behavior, reproduction success, and food sources, particularly the cold-adapted aquatic insects that are essential in winter diets of trout. This appropriation is enabling University of Minnesota's Department of Entomology to study the health of trout streams in southeastern Minnesota and how changes in stream temperatures could impact the diets and growth of trout populations. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Trout streams in southeastern Minnesota differ markedly in brown trout abundance and growth during winter. Our project objectives were to better understand stream thermal regimes, fish feeding, and fish growth patterns between November and March, so habitat management strategies can be designed to maximize trout production. Prior to this study there was very little detailed knowledge of the winter diets of trout, and virtually no knowledge of the kinds and quantitative abundances of aquatic insects growing during winter. To achieve project objectives, we assessed trout lengths and mass two or three times per winter in 36 streams (12 streams/year for three years) and determined the types of aquatic invertebrates eaten by the trout, the abundances of these dietary organisms in the streams, and the corresponding patterns of trout growth. Our findings show trout are most abundant in streams where groundwater (springs and seeps) inputs keep water temperatures significantly warmer and ice-free in winter. These thermal conditions promote high abundance or emergence of aquatic insects specifically adapted for emergence and reproduction in winter, even when air temperatures are substantially below freezing. Some species that we discovered have never been described and are new to science. We developed predictive models relating air temperatures to water temperatures in areas buffered by groundwater. The models also demonstrate linkages between groundwater input and (1) the corresponding aquatic insect composition and their abundances, (2) the trout diets during winter and (3) trout growth patterns as a function of types of aquatic insects eaten. Based on our predictive models we are able to recommend conditions under which in-stream habitat management efforts can be better spatially focused to maximize trout growth and abundance. This information is being communicated to Trout Unlimited and the MN Department of Natural Resources to help inform their programs to manage trout streams. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Our results have been presented at local, state, regional, national and international scientific meetings and at local and state conservation planning sessions. Staff of the MN DNR assisted with much of our field work and have participated in interpreting and writing summaries and drafts of manuscripts for peer review. Consequently, they are very familiar with our findings. In addition, we are communicating our results to regional Trout Unlimited members, and hope to be able to discuss how our findings can help guide the in-stream habitat improvement programs. Two theses have been completed, and three additional graduate students will use portions of our findings as sections for their Ph.D. dissertations. One undergraduate worked on a class activity in Spanish to help serve as an ""in-reach"" effort to inform undergraduates in areas such as humanities and arts of our research. One newspaper article was written, and we have put videos of our field work on-line for public viewing via our Facebook sites.

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

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

The video is being offered to newspapers throughout not only Minnesota but also in North Dakota and South Dakota for them to use with their staffs, interns and to share with their community groups (such as Lions, Rotary, etc.) In addition, a number of newspapers are also donating copies to their local museums to enhance their static displays on newspapers/letterpress. Plans are also to offer DVDs to museums across the state, at a nominal cost. The Minnesota Newspaper Foundation is also exploring the possibility of making it available to High School Journalism - and possibly English - educators to share with their students.  The Minnesota Newspaper Foundation  has successfully captured on film the unique history of the letterpress machines in action and the stories of their operators to bring to life the legacy of newspapers in Minnesota.   Five minute sample video: ",,"To document on film newspaper production and printing equipment operated by skilled volunteers.

A restoration and enhancement plan and a list of proposed land restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"Enhanced 150 acres  ",,160000,"MPRB General Fund ",530500,,,3.36,"Minneapolis Park Board","Local/Regional Government","$530,500 of the allocated $600,000 was used to enhance 150 acres of Wirth Park habitat. This project included habitat enhancement of woodlands and wetlands involving invasive species removal and planting of native species. This project benefits animal species including the pileated woodpecker and the threatened Blanding’s turtle. Primary outcomes include better quality plant communities, reduced fragmentation, and higher functioning wetlands. ",,"Theodore Wirth Regional Park was established more than 100 years ago to protect natural resources. Wirth's total 750 acres consist of wetland, woodland, savanna, shoreline and lake habitats. These habitats provide for a variety of wildlife including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, pollinating insects, fish, and migratory birds within a fully developed urban metro area.  The Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary, established in 1907 as a public wildflower garden to view Minnesota native plants and as a sanctuary for birds, is found in the southern portion of the park. A  tamarack bog, a wetland plant community that is rare for the southern part of the State, is also found in the southern portion of the park within the project area. The tamarack bog and the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary provide unique outdoor experiences for urban dwellers. Migratory birds use Wirth Park as a stopover on their migratory route the Mississippi flyway, just three miles to the east. Recently Wirth Park and Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Regional Park were designated an Important Bird Area by Audubon International for this reason.  When Wirth Park was established more than 100 years ago the land was not impacted by non-native invasive plants. Times have changed and Wirth park's oak forest is dominated by common buckthorn. Wetland areas as well have dense stands of both common and glossy buckthorn. Activities funded by the Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) included removal and control of invasive species in forest and wetland habitats and enhancement plantings with native plant species.  Since 2005, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board's (MPRB) Citizen Advisory Committees have consistently listed natural resource enhancements as top priorities for Wirth park and are a key component of the Wirth Park Master Plan.  Contracted work for the grant occurred from 2015-2016 and included saw cutting and forestry mowing of woody invasive species. Control of buckthorn in the oak forest and wetland areas consisted of cutting down large mature buckthorn with a chain or brush saw and treating the stump with herbicide. Due to the density of mature buckthorn in certain areas, the resulting brush resulted in large quantities of cut brush littering the landscape, making these areas impossible to access.  In these situations the brush was chipped and left in place. Brush chipping allows for better access into the area for future control of invasive species and enhancement plantings.   In forested areas where there was low density of large mature buckthorn, forestry mowing was done through contracted services with a forestry brush mower.  Where there were steeper slopes that a forestry mower couldn't safely operate, a brush saw was used. In 2017, the MPRB  tried for the first time goat browsing to control invasive species through contracted services. The goat browsing occurred for three consecutive years (2017-2019) with one annual browsing occurring during the summer (June or July) in two locations in the oak forest.  Forestry mowing, brush sawing and goat browsing all served to control the seeding of woody invasive species. Oriental bittersweet has become an increasingly prevalent non-native invasive species in many park areas.  Oriental bittersweet was first found in Wirth Park by MPRB staff in 2013 and has been reported to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture through eddmaps.org.  It is found in the OHF project area and was part of invasive species control for this project. Control of mature Oriental bittersweet stems, where vines were entangled in the tree canopy, consisted of cutting the stem and treating the stump with an herbicide. Monitoring of the area occurred and any seedlings that sprouted were treated with herbicide to prevent maturation. The wetland areas to the south of Glenwood Avenue are a unique natural resource that are part of a groundwater system which once provided water for the Glenwood Inglewood spring water plant.  There is open water and seepage in this area throughout the  seasons, making work in this area difficult.  Common and glossy buckthorn are prevalent invasive species in this area as well as purple loosestrife. Purple loosestrife control through biological controls has been in place in Wirth park since the 1990s and is working well to control the plant in both the Glenwood wetlands and the wetland edges of Birch pond. Buckthorn removal occurred in the Glenwood wetlands during the winter and early spring months when the ground was more frozen. Buckthorn in these areas was hand cut and treated with an aquatic approved herbicide.  As much brush as possible was chipped and left onsite. Record snowfalls during the winter of 2018-19 and record rainfall in 2019 made this area very difficult to work in. The OHF project received assistance from the Conservation Corps Youth Outdoors (CCMI YO) program. CCMI YO adult and youth crews worked on invasive species control and planting enhancements from 2017 until the close of the grant in June 2019.  Adult crews hand cut mature buckthorn from woodland and wetland areas. The youth program participants helped by hand pulling invasive species and piling brush for later chipping.  Youth program participants also seeded in prairie grasses into areas that will be maintained as oak savanna.   ",2014-07-01,2020-01-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Cliff,"Swenson, PLA","Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board","2117 West River Road N ",Minneapolis,MN,55411,"(612) 230-6466",cswenson@minneapolisparks.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Hennepin,"Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/wirth-park-habitat-enhancements,,,,

The Implementation Plan for the Wirth Lake TMDL includes modifying the outlet structure to prevent flow from the creek to the lake during flood periods. Based on an analysis of historical data, the modification of the Wirth Lake outlet will achieve reductions in phosphorus sufficient to meet water quality goals.The modifications include replacing the existing bulkhead in the outlet structure with a fabricated steel lift gate. The lift gate would be operated with an electric motor and controls that would operate based on water levels in the creek. The gate would close during periods when water levels in the creek would result in backflows to Wirth Lake.The estimated cost of the steel lift gate is $80,000 and the cost of the controls is estimated to be $70,000.
