Over the course of the appropriation, we acquired 11 parcels for a total of 1,484.05 acres which exceeded our total acre goal of 1,220 acres by 264.05 acres.  Breaking down acres by ecological section we acquired 876 acres in the metro, 152 acres in the forest/prairie, and 456 acres in the prairie.  We have a balance of $52,798 that will be returned to the Fund despite exceeding our acre goals. In total, we under spent on our budget, over delivered on acre goals, and over delivered on match leverage received while using less personnel costs than proposed. ",,"The pressures from development, industry, and agriculture continue to mount on wildlife habitat within the farmland regions of Minnesota.  In fact, despite our collective investments in conservation, it is believed that many of the agricultural counties in Minnesota are continuing to experience a net loss of wildlife habitat.  This unfortunate reality is currently being exacerbated by conversion of lands expiring out of CRP.  Now, more than ever, is the time to accelerate our investments in permanently protected high quality public habitat complexes that will protect, maintain, and increase Minnesota’s wildlife populations.  In addition, being able to provide public areas for Minnesotans to hunt, trap, fish and otherwise recreate in the outdoors are urgent needs and is fundamental to ensure Minnesota’s outdoor heritage and appreciation of the outdoors is passed on to future generations. To help slow and reverse the loss of habitat and declining wildlife populations, Pheasants Forever (PF) and our partners have protected (fee acquisition from willing sellers) 1,484.05 acres of high priority grassland (native prairie if available), wetland, and wildlife habitat as state Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) throughout the pheasant range of Minnesota.  Striving to build landscape level habitat complexes that will protect and sustain wildlife populations, many of the potential projects are additions to existing WMAs or WPAs, many of which were originally acquired in partnership with MNDNR, local PF chapters, and conservation partners. Projects were developed and selected in conjunction with local and regional DNR staff.  All projects will meet standards and requirements for inclusion into the WMA system and DNR Commissioner approval will be received for any project funded under this proposal.  In addition to meeting the minimum WMA standards, additional criteria were used to develop the potential project list including: Does the parcel contain habitat restoration potential that will result in an increase in wildlife populations? Does the parcel build upon existing investments in public and private land habitat (landscape scale significance)? Does the parcel contain significant natural communities or will it protect or buffer significant natural communities? Does the parcel have the potential and focus for habitat protection and restoration in the future? Does the parcel provide multiple benefits (recreation, access, water control, water quality, lakeshore, local community support etc.)? All acquired lands will meet the minimum initial development standards for WMAs.  In addition, providing high quality habitat and keeping future management concerns in mind, all acquisitions will be restored and/or enhanced to as high quality as practicable, with the belief that quality and comprehensive restorations utilizing native species result in lower management costs.  Acquired croplands will be permanently retired and restored to diverse grasslands and wetlands to the fullest extent.  Enhancement work may include undesirable woody vegetation removal, water control structure installation, inter-seeding to increase diversity and structure, managed grazing, invasive species control, or any other activity that improves the diversity and health of the prairie-wetland habitat complex.  Pheasants Forever’s network of 76 Minnesota chapters and 26,000 members have been actively involved in protecting and restoring lands in partnership with the Minnesota DNR for 27 years and will continue to be a priority.  WMA’s are an integral component to the comprehensive conservation strategy within the prairie region of the state.  The WMAs within this proposal will not only protect, increase, and sustain wildlife habitat and populations; they will provide access and recreational opportunities, including hunting, to ALL Minnesotans, so fundamentally important to our outdoor heritage.  ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Eran,Sandquist,"Pheasants Forever","410 Lincoln Ave S.","South Haven",MN,55386,763-242-1273,esandquist@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Brown, Carver, Cottonwood, Jackson, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Martin, McLeod, Mower, Murray, Pipestone, Renville, Stearns, Stevens","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerating-wildlife-management-area-program-phase-5,,,, 20699,"Accelerating the Waterfowl Production Area Program, Phase 5",2014,6830000,"ML 2013, Ch. 137, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 4(b)","$6,830,000 in the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources for an agreement with Pheasants Forever to acquire land in fee to be designated and managed as waterfowl production areas in Minnesota, in cooperation with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.

Over the course of the appropriation, we acquired 14 parcels for a total of 1,240.79 acres which exceeded our total acre goal of 1,230 acres by 10.79 acres.  Breaking down acres by ecological section we acquired 160 acres in the forest/prairie and 1,080.79 acres in the prairie.  We have a balance that will be returned to the Fund despite exceeding our acre goals. 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 (USFWS) and their partners have been employing this strategy for over 50-years with the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program (SWAP). This acceleration program acquired and restored 205.77 acres of wetland and 1,035.02 acres of grassland habitats which are now 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) has acquired these 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 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 notified 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.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Eran ",Sandquist,"Pheasants Forever","410 Lincoln Ave","South Haven",MN,55382,763-242-1273,esandquist@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Blue Earth, Clay, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Mahnomen, Murray, Rice, Stearns, Wright","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerating-waterfowl-production-area-program-phase-5,,,, 20716,"Accelerated Wetland and Shallow Lake Enhancement",2014,1790000,"ML 2013, Ch. 137, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 4(f)","$1,790,000 in the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources to enhance and restore shallow lakes, including $210,000 for an agreement with Ducks Unlimited to help implement restorations and enhancements.

With this specific appropriation, the DNR completed work on 6 valuable habitat projects: - Completion of a fish barrier and structure to enhance 10,000 of Swan Lake.  Ducks Unlimited (DU) designed and oversaw construction of this project.   Available funding also allowed for additional work on the outlet channel to facilitate water movement. - Construction of a water control structure and dike renovation for Pool 1 of Roseau River Wildlife Area enhanced 1,150 acres of wetland habitat. - Hartford WMA had a water control structure replaced and dike renovated to bring back water to 20 acres of wetland. - 166 acres of wetland are being enhanced through the replacement of two water control structures and dike renovation at Ereaux WMA in Morrison County. - Mille Lacs WMA is undergoing extensive work to replace failed water control structures and renovate associated dikes. This work involves funding from two OHF appropriation.  Half of the completed wetland habitat enhancement work - 2,475 - will be accounted for in this final report.  The remaining 2,475 acres will be reported in the ML14 OHF appropriation final report. - The State Line Lake project, in southern Freeborn County, involved construction at the shallow lake outlet and a rotenone treatment to remove unwanted fish.  Ducks Unlimited completed the construction and reported all the project acres in their final report for the DU appropriation that included funding for that portion of the project.  The rotenone treatment was completed with funding from this DNR appropriation.  NOTE: This final report will not report acres for State Line Lake, as they have already been reported by DU.  Also, State Line Lake became the first project to use the large pump purchased by DU and provided to the DNR.  Pictures are attached to this final report.

",,,,,,,,,,"Shell Rock River Watershed District","Local/Regional Government","The Albert Lea Lake Management project replaced the previous Albert Lea Lake fix-crest dam with a 3-in-1 structure that included a rock riffle dam, a lake level management structure, and an electric fish barrier. The benefits from this project include improved aquatic and waterfowl habitat, invasive species management, and improved desirable fish populations.","The Shell Rock River Watershed District (SRRWD) encompasses 246-square miles in Freeborn County. The District includes 11 lakes that drain to the Shell Rock River, which flows into the Cedar River. Among the District’s lakes are Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake, located within the City of Albert Lea. These lakes are central to Albert Lea’s tourism industry and its identity.The previous Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, was in need of repair. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Project replaced the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels. A lake level management structure was also constructed, as well as an electric fish barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake.The project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity for years to come. Specific benefits are outlined below.1. Rock-Arch Water-Level Control: The SRRWD replaced the old fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches to provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake. The upper-most rock arch is controlling the normal water level with the help of metal sheeting. There are two more rock arches behind the first, totaling 3 rock arches. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: The installation of the structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas. The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system.3.  Electric fish barrier:  An electric fish barrier was installed and is used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat.Design and engineering of the project started in late 2013. Contracts and associated agreements for the dam were made in early 2014. The order of operations for the construction of the project includes:•    Installation of the cofferdam•    Construction of the water diversion channel•    Removal of the old dam and bridge•    Installation of the metal sheeting that holds the lake level•    Placement of the first rock arch along the sheeting•    Installation of the footings for the concrete work•    Concrete work for the fish barrier•    Concrete work for the draw down structure•    Finalize/seal all concrete•    Placement of remaining rock arches•    Removal of the cofferdam and water diversion channel•    Installation and fine tuning of the fish barrier componentThe main construction of the projects where completed in the spring of 2015. At the end of 2015, some calibrations of the electric components were needed on the electric fish barrier. After the ice melt in the spring of 2016, those changes were made to fine tune the barrier. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Structure is now fully complete. The outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier worked in harmonization as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource.   The existing Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, are in need of repair.The proposed project would replace the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels and allow fish passage (see concept drawing). A lake level management structure would also be constructed, as well as an electric barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake. This project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity. It has been identified as a high priority in the SRRWD Management Plan, developed with public participation, and subject to public review and approval by the SRRWD Board. Specific benefits are outlined below. 1.  Rock-Arch Water-Level Control and Fish Passage: Replacing the existing fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches will provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake, with the upper-most rock arch controlling the normal water level. The arches will also provide fish passage, allowing northern pike to move upstream from the Shell Rock River to spawn in the lake. Northern Pike typically spawn in March and April, while carp spawning/movement typically does not start until May. A fish passage—in combination with an electric fish barrier activated in May to preclude carp—will increase the population of Northern Pike, natural predators of carp. Albert Lea Lake populations of Northern Pike and Bluegill (also a carp egg predator) are currently below Minnesota DNR norms for similar lakes. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: Installation of a structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas. The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system. 3.  Electric fish barrier: An electric fish barrier will be used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat. Asian Carp multiply rapidly and are voracious eaters, depleting food resources. The leaping ability of the Silver Carp also poses a danger to boaters and skiers. According to a 2010 news story in the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Asian carp have migrated past the 5-in-1 Dam in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, moving up the Cedar River to Black Hawk County—where the Cedar and the Shell Rock River join. The distance from this point to Albert Lea Lake is only about 100 miles. While there is not general agreement about the threat posed by Asian carp in lake waters, if this does become a concern the barrier could be used year-round and an alternative fish management plan developed. The SRRWD has a proven track record of success with fish barriers. The fish barriers upstream of Albert Lea Lake—at Wedge Creek and White Lake (partially funded by 2009 Outdoor Heritage Funds) and Mud Lake—have improved habitat and water clarity in the upstream areas. Improved habitat is demonstrated by increased sightings of aquatic fur bearers and waterfowl, with 15 waterfowl species sighted during the fall migration. Improvements in water clarity are demonstrated by secchi disk readings on Fountain Lake (connected to these water bodies), which were the best on record in 2010. The proposed outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier will work as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource. The strategy of carp/rough fish control and exclusion is known to be effective.

The benefits from this project include improved aquatic and waterfowl habitat, invasive species management, and improved desirable fish populations.","The Shell Rock River Watershed District (SRRWD) encompasses 246-square miles in Freeborn County. The District includes 11 lakes that drain to the Shell Rock River, which flows into the Cedar River. Among the District’s lakes are Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake, located within the City of Albert Lea. These lakes are central to Albert Lea’s tourism industry and its identity.The previous Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, was in need of repair. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Project replaced the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels. A lake level management structure was also constructed, as well as an electric fish barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake.The project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity for years to come. Specific benefits are outlined below.1. Rock-Arch Water-Level Control: The SRRWD replaced the old fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches to provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake. The upper-most rock arch is controlling the normal water level with the help of metal sheeting. There are two more rock arches behind the first, totaling 3 rock arches. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: The installation of the structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas. The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system.3.  Electric fish barrier:  An electric fish barrier was installed and is used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat.Design and engineering of the project started in late 2013. Contracts and associated agreements for the dam were made in early 2014. The order of operations for the construction of the project includes:•    Installation of the cofferdam•    Construction of the water diversion channel•    Removal of the old dam and bridge•    Installation of the metal sheeting that holds the lake level•    Placement of the first rock arch along the sheeting•    Installation of the footings for the concrete work•    Concrete work for the fish barrier•    Concrete work for the draw down structure•    Finalize/seal all concrete•    Placement of remaining rock arches•    Removal of the cofferdam and water diversion channel•    Installation and fine tuning of the fish barrier componentThe main construction of the projects where completed in the spring of 2015. At the end of 2015, some calibrations of the electric components were needed on the electric fish barrier. After the ice melt in the spring of 2016, those changes were made to fine tune the barrier. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Structure is now fully complete. The outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier worked in harmonization as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource.   The existing Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, are in need of repair.The proposed project would replace the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels and allow fish passage (see concept drawing). A lake level management structure would also be constructed, as well as an electric barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake. This project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity. It has been identified as a high priority in the SRRWD Management Plan, developed with public participation, and subject to public review and approval by the SRRWD Board. Specific benefits are outlined below. 1.  Rock-Arch Water-Level Control and Fish Passage: Replacing the existing fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches will provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake, with the upper-most rock arch controlling the normal water level. The arches will also provide fish passage, allowing northern pike to move upstream from the Shell Rock River to spawn in the lake. Northern Pike typically spawn in March and April, while carp spawning/movement typically does not start until May. A fish passage—in combination with an electric fish barrier activated in May to preclude carp—will increase the population of Northern Pike, natural predators of carp. Albert Lea Lake populations of Northern Pike and Bluegill (also a carp egg predator) are currently below Minnesota DNR norms for similar lakes. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: Installation of a structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas. The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system. 3.  Electric fish barrier: An electric fish barrier will be used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat. Asian Carp multiply rapidly and are voracious eaters, depleting food resources. The leaping ability of the Silver Carp also poses a danger to boaters and skiers. According to a 2010 news story in the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Asian carp have migrated past the 5-in-1 Dam in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, moving up the Cedar River to Black Hawk County—where the Cedar and the Shell Rock River join. The distance from this point to Albert Lea Lake is only about 100 miles. While there is not general agreement about the threat posed by Asian carp in lake waters, if this does become a concern the barrier could be used year-round and an alternative fish management plan developed. The SRRWD has a proven track record of success with fish barriers. The fish barriers upstream of Albert Lea Lake—at Wedge Creek and White Lake (partially funded by 2009 Outdoor Heritage Funds) and Mud Lake—have improved habitat and water clarity in the upstream areas. Improved habitat is demonstrated by increased sightings of aquatic fur bearers and waterfowl, with 15 waterfowl species sighted during the fall migration. Improvements in water clarity are demonstrated by secchi disk readings on Fountain Lake (connected to these water bodies), which were the best on record in 2010. The proposed outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier will work as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource. The strategy of carp/rough fish control and exclusion is known to be effective.

Staff also completed the planned integrated data input system allowing cooperators and remotely deployed staff to enter data online. We refined the website making it easier for the public to access data and see recently collected raw data within two days of downloading from network wells. Data processing was also streamlined to provide approved and final data sooner than previous years. DNR staff continued efforts to develop a groundwater model for Little Rock Creek and involved an external technical advisory committee in the process. Staff investigated water supply issues near the City of LaSalle related to cumulative impacts from expanded crop irrigation and reviewed cumulative pumping impacts to the Union Creek watershed. The latter effort helped guide permitting decisions and identify groundwater monitoring sites. DNR staff participated on an interagency water data governance team which developed two proposals to improve data governance and sharing among agencies.

To measure them we will complete the following activities: Dakota Wicohan Arts Coordinator will maintain program records of all arts activities; The 20 middle school youth will share what they’ve learned in focus groups and circles led by Dakota Wicohan staff and the consulting artists; The 5-10 high school apprentices will write reflections of their experiences for publication in our newsletter; The families and audience members will assess their experience in the guest book at each public showcase. The assessment team will monitor the arts residencies. Our participants play the most important role in the evaluation. We are using indigenous evaluation methods to identify the sense of belonging and our new youth leadership project for middle school youth. Results will be used to improve our future arts programing at Dakota Wicohan.

We also hope that our high school apprentices continue to develop their interest in the arts for sustainability in revitalizing the arts in our community. We hope to learn how connecting rural Native youth to contemporary art forms sparks an ongoing interest in the arts. We hope to learn how to model to families ways to support their youth’s interest in the arts. We also hope our organization better learns how to operate arts activities and to support Dakota artists.","The Dakota Star Stories Project met its three intended outcomes, engaging slightly fewer youth apprentices than projected, but reaching many more audience members through more PR channels than projected. It was interesting to see the development of skill between the first and the second videos made by the youth. We are pleased with their growth and confidence as artists.

We will identify barriers to participation in high quality art activities, describe our tools to overcome the barriers, and include a written survey to assess. The barriers to citizens in our region include the following: distance, access, cost, quality, isolation, time, and feeling not invited/not involved. Our tools to combat these complex and real issues are the following: Distance—hold workshop where people live and make it possible and reasonable to attend and return home at night or stay overnight (60 mile radius). Access—advertise to a varied group of potential participants including using local newspapers, local radio stations, Minnesota Public Radio (aimed at a different level of literacy), on-line regional writing groups, previous participants (past 3 years), direct invitations, Facebook, Big Stone Arts website, and Big Stone Art Council one on one invitations. Registration will be on-line, phone, and snail mail to accommodate the comfort level of potential participants. Quality—we have two high quality presenters who will address writers at the level of ability they designate. Students will have access to both presenters at the final presentation on Sunday as well as at the informal dinner on Saturday evening and the free public reading on Friday evening. Cost—charge a very reasonable fee for 1.5 days of instruction and guided practice as well as 3 meals, 2 light breakfasts, and two coffee breaks. Provide discounted rate for traditional student age (22 and younger) and senior citizen age (65). Isolation—build relationships at all the events with special emphasis on how do we continue to stay connected and write and share writing? We plan to organize scheduled gatherings during the year and make available participants emails and phone numbers to the group if they choose to engage in that exchange. Survey as a tool to empower participants—we will ask for anonymous input as well as suggestions for future workshops and ask for new volunteers to step forward to continue to keep the annual writer's workshop a reality.","There was 80-100% agreement that the instructors and their topics were thorough and useful and appropriate. 50% indicated need for space that was warmer and less noisy, and 100% liked the beautiful setting. 15 participants said they would help with the next workshop. 1 person asked for more scholarships next year. The distance from Ortonville ranged from 0-140 miles with several at 20 miles and 90 miles. There were many excellent ideas suggested for future workshops. One of the participants wrote the following on his survey: The workshop achieved the sense of community that it has consistently over the past 4 years. That really matters.

Questions we might ask include: What is your response to hearing these songs? What do they bring to mind? Why are these songs important? How might they help you?

This allowed us immediate feedback from everyone in attendance and was extremely useful and uplifting to know that this project was having a positive impact on people in our communities. Those who took the time to respond to the CD evaluation survey believed it to be of great value and benefit. For example, one treatment center believed that using the CD to help ground one of their Native American female clients in her culture helped to alleviate her cravings, triggers, and stress. Libraries in Madison, Dawson, and Minneota felt the project would give their patrons an introduction to music they had not heard before and that it would open doors to understanding and appreciation of Dakota culture.

By thinking of the types of lines they will learn an approach to the challenge of putting marks on their paper to represent something that they see and know but that they may not have attempted to draw before. Opposite concepts that the preschool teachers have previously taught during the year will be included (ex above/below, up/down, big/small, far/near, in/out) in the drawings then the children will identify the parts of their drawings that illustrate this. A drawing of a turtle character from the preschool social emotional curriculum will support teachers work with the children and motivate children to try a familiar fun subject. The children will have experienced an effective problem-solving technique of breaking down a large project into smaller pieces so the task does not seem as daunting. This will happen at every stage as we look at smaller parts of the drawing to see how the lines were made, and see that thinking of it as little bits at a time will calm worries they may have that the drawing may be too hard. Success will be evident in the completion of each drawing, as children will be able to point to straight lines, curved lines, etc., as well as things that are opposites that were included in their work (inside/outside, above/below etc.). Their work creating drawings that closely resemble the animal and surroundings will also be a strong measure of their success learning the concepts presented. Each teacher will have her unique input for other concepts to be included in the four drawing lessons which will match her particular class curriculum plan.Pairing drawing with the different curriculum areas naturally lends itself to survey and observation of the children's work to determine if learning has taken place. There will be many samples of student work that will point to a successful project and goals met. The children will be asked to show the things they have drawn that are opposites: above/below, inside/outside, etc. the primary focus of their drawings. They will be able to describe their choices of appropriate additions to the drawings and why they were chosen and drawn. They will choose their two favorite pieces of work to exhibit at a Student Art Gallery, and they will be able to tell why the pieces are their favorites, and to point to specific areas and describe what is important about them. This will also give the students a chance to talk about their work to their parents, as it is important to them when they have their work displayed in a careful manner, as grown up artwork would be also. Another impact of this residency will be that the 5 Early Childhood Family Education Preschool teachers will learn from Mary Ellen the resident artist, how to teach preschool children how to draw in developmentally appropriate ways using the methods Mary Ellen presents with children. See supporting material pdf of child showing his drawing from spring 2013 TARP drawing lesson where you can see how he drew the arm of the animal inside the body shape and another arm outside; also the panda subject matches the class' focus on a field trip to a Zen Shorts play, hearing the Zen Shorts stories read in class previously, using bamboo blocks, seeing panda and bamboo pictures in the classroom, and watching a panda cam live video of pandas etc. This shows how the drawing lessons can accomplish the goals planned by extending and enriching the teacher planned curriculum.","All children were taught drawing concepts that included ""lines: thick and thin, angled, dots and circles,"" positions of ""above, below, next to,"" they had 4 drawing lessons and drew animals based on their preschool field trips or social emotional curriculum ex sheep from the farm or ""Twiggles the turtle"" then had an art gallery for families and friends where they exhibited their ""best"" drawing.

Both residencies address Minnesota standards of education in both the arts and other content areas. By doing this we hope to reinforce and enhance the understanding of both content areas. The goal of Layl McDill's residency is to combine her unique art form with concepts from science, social studies and math. By using creativity, problem solving and math concepts, 3rd grade students will create physical representations of the animals that they are learning about in science. For the fourth grade, social studies standards will be addressed and students will use communication, creativity, and problem solving to create physical representations of state birds from the states that students are learning about. The residency will be considered successful if the following criteria are met: 1. Students are able to use and incorporate polymer clay, armatures, color mixing and millefiore/caning techniques to make a 3-dimensional form. 2. Students are able to successfully create unique 3-dimensional representations of predator and prey animals and state birds. 3. Students are able to talk about their use of elements and principals of art to represent the unique qualities of their animals or birds. We will also know that we have achieved our goals by documenting the end products from each residency with photographs. The sculptures that each child creates will demonstrate pride and show that they participated in the artistic processes of learning new information and skills, planning, decision making, production, and evaluation of their artwork. To further evaluate the process, we will distribute a survey to instructors to evaluate the success of the residency in teaching the state objectives and creating excitement for learning. Community performances and art shows will also provide feedback by participation from parents, showing excitement for the arts and their child's experience. Surveys will specifically address the following statements. Teachers: 1. Interest in the arts. 2. Excitement for learning core classroom objectives. 3. Reinforcement and enhanced comprehension of both art and core content area learning. 4. Achievement of above state objectives. 5. Overall quality of the residency. Parents: 1.

Overall quality of the residency.","One measurable outcome was the huge increase in students that have now had exposure to another actual working artist from our state.

Each of these residency addresses Minnesota standards of education in both the Arts and other content areas. By doing this we hope to reinforce and enhance the understanding of both content areas. Ross Sutter: The dulcimer project will incorporate the language arts, math, science social studies and media arts by accomplishing the following: 1. Perform at least three tunes on the one-stringed dulcimer alone and/or in a group. 2. Read and write tunes for the dulcimer using a system of notation (tablature). 3. Improvise and/or compose a tune to play on the dulcimer. 4. Demonstrate understanding of the cultural and historical context of the Appalachian (mountain) dulcimer, including songs. 5. Identify parts of the dulcimer. 6. Students will understand how math and science are involved in the functioning of stringed instruments. 7. Students will understand ways to change pitch, volume and timbre on a stringed instrument. 8. Students will measure accurately. 9. Use and convert fractions with accuracy. We will know that we have achieved our goals by documenting the end products from each residency with photographs. The map boxes and dulcimer that each child creates will demonstrate pride and show that they participated in the process. To evaluate the process, we will distribute a survey to instructors to evaluate the success of the residency in teaching the state objectives and creating excitement for learning. Community performances and art shows will also provide feedback by participation from parents, showing excitement for the arts and their child's experience. Surveys will specifically address the following statements. Teachers: 1. Interest in the arts. 2. Excitement for learning core classroom objectives. 3. Reinforcement and enhanced comprehension of both art and core content area learning. 4. Achievement of above state objectives. 5. Overall quality of the residency. Parents: 1. Interest and excitement for the arts. 2. Involvement in residency and community event. 3. General excitement for going to school during residency. 4.

Though some segments of these systems have been studied either by the county or their respective watershed districts, to date there has not been a comprehensive inventory of their resource conditions or assessment of their conservation needs. Phase 1 of this project will create a mobile GIS-based ditch inventory system and database. Phase 2 will utilize the mobile database to conduct on the ground surveys of current conditions of six Becker County Ditches. Phase 3 will incorporate survey data and LiDAR-based GIS assessments of the contributing area(s) of each reach to 1) determine the status of compliance with buffer strip requirements and the 50-ft.

The county is located in the Blue Earth, LeSueur, Watonwan and Middle Minnesota watersheds where there is a high density of impaired waters. 8 lakes and 37 reaches on 19 streams within the county are on the MPCA 2012 Impaired Waters List as being impaired for aquatic recreation or aquatic life because of turbidity, excess nutrients or bacteria. Using sophisticated GIS analysis techniques with LiDAR data, soils and land-use data, the project will assess the probability of erosion on the landscape. In addition to analyzing for erosive potential, the project will also use the LiDAR data to determine ideal locations to store runoff on the landscape, done through a process called the Compound Topographic Index, or Wetness Index. By assessing the ability to store water along with the erosive potential of the landscape, BMP implementation locations can be determined which provide benefits for both water quality and water storage. This will give resource managers the ability to replace existing volunteer approaches with targeted outreach efforts using a systematic approach at any scale the user specifies such as field, ditch-shed or watershed.

",,"The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase III program acquired 496 acres of high-quality wetland, remnant Big Woods forest, and shoreline habitat for fish, game and wildlife in the Cannon River watershed located within Rice County. Protection of four large complexes - Koester Prairie (Prairie Creek WMA), Circle Lake (Circle Lake WMA), Erin Township (Big Woods Heritage WMA), and Wells Township (Sunktokeca WMA) provide new opportunities for public hunting, fishing, and wildlife observation. Located just south of the Twin Cities metro in an area that has seen development pressure due to the close proximity of the Twin Cities, I-35 and the Upper Cannon Lakes, the Cannon River watershed has already suffered fragmentation and habitat loss. Historically inhabited by Big Woods, the landscape is now dominated by agricultural fields and, to a lesser extent, development. Agricultural practices and shoreline development are also the major contributors to the impaired status of stretches of the Cannon River and its associated lakes and streams. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase III program was designed to address the following problems: degradation and loss of quality and diversity of habitat in the prairie section of the State, degradation of water quality in the Cannon River Watershed; and lack of available public lands for hunting and angling opportunities, especially within an hour's drive for over half of the state's population. The Phase III program is a part of a multi-year conservation effort, focusing on the Cannon River watershed, that includes acquisition, protection, and restoration of core parcels of land that will contribute to a large complex of restored prairies, grasslands, wetlands, lakeshore, and river shoreline. The Phase III acquisitions were prioritized toward protecting existing large wetland/upland complexes, rare communities (Big Woods forest, oak savanna, tamarack swamp), and shallow lakes. In addition, landowner willingness to sell and the threat of conversion were also taken into consideration. Protection of these lands provides critical habitat for game species, including migratory waterfowl (mallards, canvasback, wood ducks, hooded mergansers, pintails, lesser scaup), upland birds (dove, turkey, pheasant, and woodcock), white tail deer, and fish (northern pike, black crappies, bluegills, bullheads and walleye). Protection will also provide access for a diversity of recreational experiences including duck, pheasant, turkey and deer hunting, lake fishing, and wildlife observation. In addition, restoration work conducted by the MN DNR has been focused on the degraded portions of the lands acquired and has included restoration of agricultural fields near wetlands and lakes back to native habitat. Four acquisitions were completed with Phase III funding: 1. Koester Prairie (Prairie Creek WMA)  (Rice County) The Trust for Public Land acquired Koester Prairie and conveyed this 460 acre property to the DNR on December 20, 2013 to be managed as a new Wildlife Management Area. This property contains approximately 327 acres of rolling grassland, prairie, and oak savanna that are associated with Prairie Creek and its tributaries and that directly buffer approximately 133 acres of rare and highly significant native prairie. Over forty native upland prairie species have been documented here as well as a number of sedge meadow and wet prairie species. The dry oak savanna found on the property is also extremely rare, with only 13 occurrences of this type documented in the state. The site is known to locals as being the biggest and best birding area in the county. Bird Species in Greatest Conservation Need utilizing this site include: Swainson’s Hawk, Upland Sandpiper, Red-headed Woodpecker, Grasshopper Sparrow, and Bobolink.  The Trust for Public Land purchased this property for a total of $1,885,000 using $1,032,507 from Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Phase II (ML 2012 OHF; allocated acreage 200), and also $652,493 in funds from Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Phase III (ML 2013 OHF; allocated acreage 127), and RIM funding of $200,000 (133 acres). 2.

The CCWMO will target three geographic areas that have demonstrated strong community involvement, effective partner relationships, and support for the goal of improving water quality of locally impaired waters or regionally significant water body. The first targeted area is around the East Creek Chain of Lakes in the City of Chaska, the second is located around Benton Lake in the City of Cologne, and the third within the City of Waconia protecting Lake Waconia, the third largest lake in the Twin Cities metro area and a regionally significant resource. Our goal for these funds is the installation of 6 to 8 projects that aim to reduce the amount of impervious surfaces or provide treatment for previously untreated areas through the use of Low Impact Development Best Management Practices. These practices include, but are not limited to, porous pavement, stormwater re-use, rain gardens, sand-iron filter trenches, bio-swales, and bio-filtration.

The purpose of subwatershed assessments is to improve water quality, increase groundwater recharge and reduce runoff volumes. These goals are achieved by identifying opportunities in the subwatersheds most contributing to the degradation of the high priority water bodies and developing designs for Best Management Practices (BMPs) that treat stormwater runoff. Using a similar protocol, the Chisago Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is working on a Rural Subwatershed assessment to determine a list of identified practices in the rural portions of the Chisago Lakes Watershed. This assessment will have a list of top practices including: gully stabilizations, waterways, buffer strips and feedlot improvements.

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

A Technical Advisory Committee, comprised of subject matter experts, provides input on projects to ensure they produce relevant and useful information for a diverse group of stakeholders.   ","Goals of the Research Program Identify underlying processes that affect water quality Evaluate the effectiveness of agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) Develop technologies to target BMPs to critical areas of the landscape  Research priorities are developed with input from multiple stakeholders including agricultural groups, state agencies, and researchers.   ","Supported 40 research projects (8 active projects, 32 completed) 16 of the supported research projects evaluate practices to reduce nitrate losses. Practices include emerging technologies such as nitrification inhibitors and optical sensing tools, perennial and vegetative cover for water quality benefits or treatment of agricultural drainage systems. 12 different organizations have been awarded research contracts through the program Researchers have used initial results from CWF supported research to leverage over $10 million of additional research funding.

Clear Lake is identified as a priority lake within the Rice Creek Watershed District's (RCWD) Watershed Management Plan and does not meet the nutrient goals established by the RCWD. Mid-summer algae blooms are common and occasionally severe enough to impact recreation. This project will significantly reduce the stormwater phosphorus load coming from the City's central business district and the State Highway 61 corridor to Clear Lake, decreasing the frequency and magnitude of algae blooms. The subwatershed surrounding this area does not currently receive treatment and was identified as a phosphorous loading hot spot in recent studies including the Clear Lake Diagnostic Study and Management Plan. This project is timely because it coincides with the major redevelopment of land owned and operated by the City of Forest Lake. Construction of the City of Forest Lake Public Safety and City Hall site work is planned for the spring of 2014. The Clear Lake Water Quality Treatment Project will treat stormwater above and beyond what is required by the RCWD rules. By constructing them in concert, this water quality project will be exceedingly efficient in terms of cost per unit of phosphorous removed. The Clear Lake Water Quality Treatment Project will remove 38 to 83 pounds annually or 27%-60% of the 140 pound total phosphorous reduction goal for Clear Lake.

The District began assessing church sites for retrofit opportunities in 2013 and will continue this effort in 2014. Church congregations have been receptive to partnering with the watershed district. Commercial and school property owners, however, are often harder to access, and can also be harder to motivate into partnerships that result in implementation of stormwater management Best Management Practices (BMPs). This grant will assist the District in identifying and assessing commercial retail centers and strip malls in high priority drainage areas for retrofit opportunities that will assist the District in meeting stormwater volume and nutrient reduction goals. This project will not only identify promising sites for retrofit BMPs on commercial sites with large impervious areas, but involve a series of conversations with commercial property owners about the potential for partnering on project implementation, now and in the future. An important part of this project involves interaction with commercial property owners to introduce the District and its goals, determine their willingness to partner with the District, identify barriers to installation and maintenance of stormwater BMPs, identify ways to reduce or eliminate barriers, and to generally lay the groundwork for the District to effectively work with commercial property owners into the future.",,,2014-03-06,2016-12-31,"Clean Water Fund","In Progress",,,Paige,Ahlborg,"Ramsey-Washington Metro WD",,,,,651-792-7964,paige.ahlborg@rwmwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Ramsey, Washington",,"Mississippi River - Twin Cities",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/commercial-site-assessment-bmp-retrofit,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",NO 21224,"Community Arts Schools and Conservatories",2014,11627,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Education","The Center for Irish Music proposes to expand its arts learning opportunities for students in the areas of early childhood education, music ensembles, camps, and non-music learning opportunities.

It seeks to increase its audience base, to strengthen its board and organizational structures, to improve and launch a fund-raising initiative, and to continue growing artistically. An award of Community Arts Support funds from the Central Minnesota Arts Board would help Great River Chorale achieve the following specific, measurable outcomes in the 2014-15 concert season: participation in two performances of choral-orchestral music as the principal choral partner of the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra; a collaborative holiday concert with two area youth choirs and guest instrumentalists; a collaborative concert with members of a regional dance company in a spring concert; presentation of an outreach concert for members of a central Minnesota community that may not otherwise have access to Great River Chorale's regular season programming; a fall 2014 professional recording and CD production project to promote awareness of Great River Chorale through radio airplay and sales to the public; increased and improved member and community participation in fundraising efforts; heightened public awareness of Great River Chorale through improved use of social, for profit, and public media outlets; implementation of an email marketing service to create a newsletter and to improve communications with members, former members, patrons, donors, advertisers, and supporters; to purchase a data maintenance software program; to recruit skilled singers and attract audiences from central Minnesota through continued programming of high quality music of varying styles and genres from different eras and cultures, and by providing a satisfying artistic experience of the highest caliber.We will evaluate the broad community success of Great River Chorale’s two public concert productions for the coming season by measuring the following: income generated from multiple sources (tickets sales, concert sponsorship, grant awards, program advertisements sales, Great River Chorale holiday albums sales); media coverage from multiple sources (articles, interviews and radio airplay); and verbal and written feedback from our patrons and collaborative participants. Individual revenue areas will be reviewed and compared to data from the previous three seasons to determine if there was an increase in ticket sales, corporate sponsorships, program ad sales, and holiday album sales, and thus an increase in community engagement. A similar comparison will evaluate whether media coverage is increasing, thereby increasing recognition and enhancing the ensemble’s reputation. Great River Chorale will continue to explore and refine data capturing methods in order to increase measurable data collected from our patrons, members, donors, collaborative partners and the larger community. This will include physical surveys, electronic surveys, personal interviews, and direct requests through e-newsletters and the Great River Chorale website. As we move forward in our plans for growth, we will review all available data periodically in order to make informed decisions for our future. In addition, Great River Chorale will continue to review constructive, qualitative feedback from our patrons and artistic collaborators in order to provide a narrative for our data that demonstrates the merit of our programming in terms of quality of musical performance. The proposed professional recording project and CD production is intended to increase revenue through sales to the public and recognition through track selection for radio airplay. Analysis of CD sale revenue and media coverage will measure the success of this endeavor. The success of Great River Chorale’s additional fund raising efforts will be measured through increased member participation in fundraising campaigns, an increase in individual, corporate and member donations, increased advertising sales, and an increase in donations on Minnesota’s Give to the Max Day 2014. Efforts to improve communications with our community will be measured through analytics provided by an email marketing service, social networks, and public media outlets where applicable. The purchase of a software program designed for nonprofit organizations will provide improvement in data management. Success will be measured in time saved by a significant simplification of processes for data projects (freeing up more time for other goals) and a decrease in returned mail.","Two fine collaborative concerts and one outreach concert were produced.

The expanded audience for these concerts plus the nursing home concerts and high school outreach concerts should reach multiple demographics--elderly, who enjoy our concerts because the concerts stir fond memories, as well as their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who may be exposed to wind ensemble music for the first time and hopefully creating memories to pass on to future generations. We have also been attracting people of non-European heritage to concerts, and hope to expand the race and ethnic origins of our patrons as well. Having celebrated the 125th Anniversary of the Saint Cloud Municipal Band two years ago, we hope to continue to cultivate and expand community pride, which can be measured via attendance estimates as well as positive survey results. We strive for an average of 95% participation of musicians willing to play concerts, which demonstrates the enthusiasm that our musicians feel for the repertoire as well as for the conductor.To measure audience satisfaction, we include surveys in the programs provided at the Paramount, and pass them out during summer concerts and the nursing home concerts. Survey questions ask for zip codes to help estimate the market area of our patrons. We also ask musical preferences, success of marketing strategies, Contingency Valuation questions to try to determine the value the patrons place on the concert, as well as their potential ability to pay. The difference in these figures generally shows that the patron values the concert at a greater amount than they are willing or able to pay for the tickets, and this suggests that our music is indeed a local public good, and that tax funds are well spent to support this activity. Finally we ask demographics such as age and gender as well as comments. With such surveys, we can do cross-tabulations and using Chi-Square tests and other nonparametric statistical analyses, we can determine if there are statistically significant differences between the audience demographics and answers to the other questions. We not only take attendance at each practice and concert, but informally, we experience the excitement and buzz at the recital hall as the numbers of musicians staying after the concerts to chat with audience members expands.","Fiscal Year 2014 goals were to expand our audiences and to demonstrate performers' enthusiasm for our repertoire and conductor. Surveys of attendees suggested we met these goals. We notice audiences of non-white concert goers, young attendees, and families. Solid retention rate of performers for each concert, as well as feedback from surveys suggest enthusiasm for the repertoire and conductor.

We will evaluate the success of this festival by singer attendance, participation in sectionals and group rehearsals (both directors and singers), size of audience and ticket sales at the end-of-festival concert, and using online and paper formats to survey festival participants. We can continue to evaluate our two ensembles by the number of registered auditions. As our current singers have positive experiences while being a part of the Youth Chorale, they are ambassadors to others in their schools, all while promoting an interest in Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota. Middle School and High School directors will receive updated audition materials to distribute to their choral programs. Our new promotional video will be distributed with these packets and will also be used for Development purposes such as for a speaker’s bureau and when meeting with potential private and corporate sponsors. We can evaluate the effectiveness of this video by the number of new sponsors. Singers have expressed an interest in more outreach opportunities during the season. These outreach sessions will give the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Board and Staff and idea of what our singers would like to do in the community, from singing at local nursing homes to collecting food for the local food shelf. The Board and Staff will discuss what options are viable and proceed with making connections based on singers’ viewpoints. Evaluation of this process will include interviewing singers beforehand, surveying them afterwards, and observing whether our goal for outreach and more visibility elicits more collaborations and/or gain audience recognition. The Artistic Staff will establish a clear structure for the Student Leadership Team that meets regularly, is sustainable, and assists in organizational development. Increased interaction and shared experiences between all members of varied singing abilities will take place. The primary focus of the Student Leadership Team is to assist the conductors in making sure that their peers (singers) are satisfied with how the choir is functioning, as well as making sure that the choirs are operating cohesively. At the end of the season, we expect an increase in the number of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota singers who wish to be a part of the Student Leadership Team. By adding a student intern to the office staff, the Executive Director will be able to focus on larger responsibilities that require more time. Also, the student intern can take on some concert preparation responsibilities like mailings or concert set-up, freeing up the Executive Director to spend more time getting volunteers settled or even greeting concert patrons without having to be spread thin at the events.

However, the short-term goal of obtaining a written report and discussion with the trustees was met. Further meetings with the finance committee and the Church Council were by necessity postponed, though the intent of continually reassessing the already existing preservation plans already underway (including sealing the structure for water damage) was proposed and agreed to by the Trustees.

This appropriation is being used by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to provide the infrastructure needed to support conservation grazing on 10,000 acres of targeted wildlife management areas to demonstrate that grazing can be effectively and cost-efficiently implemented to improve grassland habitat quality and ecological integrity in Minnesota.",,http://www.lccmr.leg.mn/projects/2013/work_plans/2013_04i.pdf,2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Hoch,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Rd","St. Paul",MN,55045,"(651) 259-5230",greg.hoch@state.mn.us,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Chippewa, Clay, Douglas, Faribault, Grant, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Mahnomen, Norman, Otter Tail, Polk, Pope, Redwood, Stearns, Stevens, Traverse, Wilkin",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/conservation-grazing-improve-wildlife-habitat-wildlife-management-areas,,,, 22033,"Conservation Education",2014,1464226,"Laws of 2013, Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subd. 9",,,"Close Encounters145,200 people attended a Close Encounter in 2013.2,340 scheduled Close Encounter programs took place in 2013.

CPL Program Staff develop a Request for Proposal/Program Manual incorporating LSOHC  priorities, solicit applications, work with applicants to submit scorable applications, oversee grant selection, prepare/execute grant documents, review expenditure documentation, ensure financial integrity, make payments, monitor grant work, assist recipients with closing out agreements, and prepare required reports.   Applicants describe: location of work, activity type and habitat; benefit to habitat, fish, game and wildlife; and duration of benefits.  Acquisition projects: applicants describe parcel selection process.   CPL staff complies with the Department of Administration-Office of Grants Management policies.  Stakeholders involved in this program are applicants, reviewers, land managers.  No opposition is known.  Application Process A Request for Proposal/Program Manual was posted on the CPL website in August, 2013.  Document contains all grant program information. Applications are submitted using CPL’s Online Grant Application System (OLGA).  Applicants use OLGA’s mapping tool to map project sites.  Applications accepted beginning in August, 2013, until round one deadline in mid-September, 2013.  Applications requesting grants up to $25,000 or Preapproved Project Grants have a shorter application form. The application system will accept Preapproved Project Grant applications year-round.  Examples of Preapproved Projects and criteria for each will be on the website. Grants over or under $25,000 were selected for funding once.  Preapproved (ECP) Project Grants were awarded 4 times during the year. DNR were able to make additional awards under this announcement, consistent with DNR and OHF policy and guidance, if additional funding became available or if a grantee could not complete a project as planned.  Grant Selection Process CPL Grant Program Staff review applications for completeness.  Technical Review Committee(s), selected by the Commissioner of Natural Resources, evaluate applications based on criteria listed below.  A final score is given to all applications. Committee(s) include representatives from DNR, BWSR, the University of MN, state universities or private colleges, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, or other appropriate members from government, non-profit and business organizations.  A final ranking committee of Directors of the DNR Divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Ecological Resources/Waters, and Forestry consider TRC, Division and Regional DNR comments, and recommend projects/funding levels to the Commissioner.  Preapproved Project Grants are reviewed by CPL staff, using criteria established for each type of project, and make recommendations. The Commissioner makes final decisions.  CPL Grant Program staff work with grantees to complete financial reviews, grant agreements, and other paperwork.  Work may not begin until grant is executed. Application Criteria Applications is evaluated on these criteria:         Amount of habitat restored, enhanced, or protected Local support        Degree of collaboration        Urgency        Multiple benefits        Habitat benefits        Consistency with current conservation science        Adjacent to protected lands        Full funding of project       Budget/ cost effectiveness       Public access for hunting/fishing       Use of native plant materials       Applicants’ capacity to successfully complete, sustain work Project Reviews and Reporting Grantees submit annual accomplishment reports on forms provided by CPL staff, based on L-SOHC report forms.  Reports account for the use of grant/match funds, and outcomes in measures of wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat restored, enhanced, and protected.  The report must include an evaluation of these results.  A final report is required by all grantees 30 days after project completion.  CPL Grant staff submits accomplishment reports to L-SOHC as required.   CPL Administration Budget Grant administration costs total $366,000, include salary/fringe for grants staff, direct and necessary costs, travel, supplies, and expense.  An internal Service Level Agreement (SLA) is developed with DNR’s Management Information Systems to update/manage the online grant application system.  DNR Land Acquisition Costs Applicants are required to budget for DNR Land Acquisition costs that are necessary to support the land acquisition process for parcels to be conveyed to the DNR.  These costs are billed to awarded grants on a professional services basis. DNR Technical Support The Division of Fish and Wildlife provides ongoing technical guidance, helping applicants prepare grant proposals and meet requirements for working on state lands.  Project development and oversight is provided by area managers and additional guidance is provided for land acquisitions.   Grantee Payment Grantees are paid on reimbursement or “for services rendered” basis, meaning payment is made to the grantee after work has been performed or materials purchased, but before the vendor is paid by the grantee.  Grantees provide proof that work is completed or a purchase made to receive payment.  Proof that the vendor was paid must be submitted to CPL staff before additional grant payments are made.  Reasonable amounts may be advanced to projects to accommodate cash flow needs, match federal share, or for acquisitions.  Advances must be specified in final grant agreement.  Partial payments are allowed.  Funds are built into grants for required Legacy logo signage and forms of acknowledgement/notification including, but not limited to, local news advertisements announcing completion of grantees' projects. Since the creation of the CPL program, grantees have restored, protected or enhanced nearly 9982 acres of habitat in Minnesota.

It is also one of its most threatened. In order to preserve this important component of Minnesota’s natural heritage, the Minnesota Land Trust implemented Phase 2 of its Critical Shoreland Habitat Protection Program to protect important lakeshore and stream-side habitat. This project built on the success of Phase 1 of this program and helped fulfill the goals of the DNR’s Aquatic Management Area program, the State Conservation and Preservation Plan, and many other state priorities. In this second phase of the program, the Minnesota Land Trust concentrated its activity on important aquatic resources and associated forest habitat within northeast Minnesota, including DNR-designated high priority trout streams along the North Shore, sensitive shoreline along the deep-water border lakes and other high-quality aquatic habitats in the region. The Land Trust protected more than five miles of threatened shoreline habitat by acquiring conservation easements from willing landowners that permanently protected a rich mosaic of naturally vegetated shoreline, forest habitat and wetlands on approximately 911 acres. The program targeted projects that help fill gaps in existing public ownership, contain the highest-quality habitat, and provide the greatest leverage to the state. The Land Trust accepted three fully donated easements, negotiated bargain sale purchases for three easements and purchased one easement at the full appraised value. Total leverage from donated value of the easements is placed at $948,500, all in excess of what was proposed. This value was substantiated in 5 easements through appraisal; in the remaining two (full value donations) where we don not have appraisals, an estimate of value (62% of assessed land value) was attained through a comparison of appraised fee value to easement value, and adjusted to account for deviation between appraised and assessed land value across two years of Land Trust activity. The development and disturbance of the state’s remaining sensitive shoreland habitat continues to be a threat identified in many of the State’s resource protection plans. Investigations conducted by the DNR and others indicate that the shoreland zone—from high ground through the water’s edge and into the shallow submerged areas—is one of the most biologically diverse and important habitat types for a variety of wildlife species, including fish and waterfowl. Because so much shoreline habitat is on private land, it is also one of Minnesota’s most threatened resources due to the intensity of shoreline development and non-compatible management. Fortunately, private landowners in northeast Minnesota have proven to be ready and willing to grant conservation easements on exceptional shoreline habitat, thus providing high-leverage, immediately-tangible protection for these diminishing habitat types. Outreach efforts from this and the previous phase of this program have generated a robust and growing pool of interested landowners seeking assistance in voluntary private land conservation through permanent easements. It is important to note that the Phase 3 of this program received funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund to continue to build on the successes of earlier phases and to secure and additional 1,000 acres of natural shoreline, forest habitat and wetlands in northeastern Minnesota.",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Wayne,Ostlie,"Minnesota Land Trust","2356 University Ave W, Suite 240","St. Paul",MN,55114,651-917-6292,wostlie@mnland.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"St. Louis, Lake, Carlton","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/critical-shoreland-habitat-protection-program-phase-2,,,, 28023,"St. Croix River Escarpment Gully Stabilization Implementation Program",2014,117000,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Regular Session chapter 137","Projects and Practices 2014","An estimated reduction of 52 lbs/yr TP (.2%) and 152 tons/yr TSS is anticipated.","This project resulted in estimated reductions of 222 lb. of phosphorus per year, 131 tons of sediment per year, and 143 fewer tons of soil lost annually.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations","With this grant award, Dakota Wicohan will strengthen the Minnesota community’s capacity to reclaim and revitalize the Dakota language by nurturing the language skills of 15 Dakota language leaders.

Another notable acquisition was that of a 109-acre easement on a portion of the Grannis property in Inver Grove Heights, which when added to the original 17-acre easement, totals 126 acres that includes the southernmost and highest quality lake of the Marcott Lakes Chain. Additionally, when combined with the adjacent 103-acre Lindberg easement, provides a total protected area of 229 acres in Inver Grove Heights. As is typical for a voluntary land protection program, landowners don't always move forward with their projects for a variety of reasons; and eight projects that staff worked on were either withdrawn by the landowner, or the County completed them with Outdoor Heritage funding from another grant. Dakota County also completed a significant amount of restoration work within a variety of habitats, totaling 392 acres.  Restoration work was completed in areas including: the new Hampton Woods WMA; on the Grannis easement; and at three locations along the Vermillion River, among other locations.  This restoration work is ongoing. Dakota County's commitment to land conservation is reflected in one of four County Board Strategic Plan Goals: A healthy environment with quality natural areas. This commitment is recognized through annual County Board support (e.g., funding and staff resources) for land conservation programs, other environmental health and protection programs and initiatives, as well as the County Board's commitment to not only establish regional parks and County park preserves, but its commitment to restoring habitat within its park system. Through this commitment, County Land Conservation staff work with confidence and were able to achieve greater grant match support than anticipated, providing County grant-match funding and in-kind staff time totaling $732,300, $444,300 more than the original estimate of $288,000.  The extended length of time afforded to expend grant funding, per Section 2.1 of the grant agreement contributed greatly to this level of County grant-match. ",,"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 four conservation easements that protected 212 acres of: wetlands (5 acres); Forest/Woodland (49 acres); Grasslands (24 acres); Cultivated land that was restored to natural vegetation (100 acres); Habitat (12 acres); and Open Water (22 acres). 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 by the landowner for a variety of reasons. The common, uncertain nature of a voluntary conservation program 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. The County also successfully completed three natural area fee title acquisitions totaling 197 acres, establishing the first protected land within the new Hampton Woods Wildlife Management Area in Hampton and Castle Rock townships.  This historic woodland has stood for centuries and was used by settlers as a woodlot as surrounding areas were cultivated.  The County transferred ownership and management of the 197 acres of land to the Minnesota DNR.  More acquisitions are planned, with subsequent ownership transfer to the DNR within this new WMA. Regarding restoration efforts, the County successfully restored 390 acres, involving 16 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 parcels that include over 1 mile of shoreline. Restoration activities included: restoring agricultural land to natural vegetation; removing 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.  The parcels restored supports populations of eagles, sandhill cranes, deer, eastern cottontail, wild fur-bearing game (fox, coyote, mink, and beaver), wild turkey, pheasant, wood duck, and other waterfowl. Restoration activities anticipate an increase in the populations of these and many other species, which will augment populations on the adjacent land. In addition, these restoration efforts anticipate more diverse populations of non-game species. Baseline populations will be monitored into the future.

The SRWD is currently developing a systemic approach to address all of the public drainage ditches on a schedule, creating better maintenance and repair schedules. As part of this systematic approach, the SRWD has a need for a standardized information management system for drainage activities. A database will allow for organization of information with standard document naming, efficient and timely updates to the information, public access to records and up-to-date tracking of drainage system proceedings including inspection status. Using the database, the SRWD will be able to schedule required drainage buffer inspections, track violations and determine follow-up procedures in a timely manner.

Individual project details are listed below. - Solid Bottom Creek: This project addressed a steep, eroding stream bank along 500 feet of a designated trout stream.  The stream bank was a primary source of sedimentation within the stream, and likely contributed to a delta that is forming at the outlet of the stream in Elbow Lake.  Construction was completed in the spring of 2016, relocating the stream away from the tall eroding bank, stabilizing the toe of that bank by installing toe-wood structures, and enhancing pool habitat for trout that are stocked into the stream. - Whisky Creek: OHF funding from DNR was combined with a CPL grant to the City of Barnesville to fund the project.  Bids for the work came in under projected costs, which allowed the City to also remove another dam within city limits on Whisky Creek that was underneath a railroad bridge.  Work has been completed in 2015 on the modification of the dam at Blue Eagle Lake and the removal of the dam underneath the railroad bridge. This project restored fish passage to 31 miles of upstream habitat. -Minnesota River at Granite Falls: Construction of a riffle in the Minnesota River at Granite Falls was completed in December 2017. The project modified the remnants of an old dam made of rock into a riffle, enhancing spawning habitat that will be used by numerous fish species including lake sturgeon, walleye, and sauger. -Red Sand Lake outlet: The outlet structure on Red Sand Lake was modified to allow fish passage, with construction completed in June of 2018. The former drop structure within a culvert was replaced by a larger culvert with an arch-rapids upstream and downstream, and with natural substrate within the culvert. Fish passage between White Sand Lake, which lies downstream, Red Sand Lake, and wetlands in between will benefit Red Sand Lake, especially in the occasional year that it experiences a partial fish-kill due to low oxygen conditions. -South Branch Root River: This project was funded by the ML2013 and ML2014 DNR Aquatic Habitat appropriation. A 450 foot reach of the river was experiencing severe erosion, with the streambank losing over 10 feet per year. A riffle was constructed at the upstream end of the reach to direct flow, and a bankfull bench was constructed along the eroding bank using toe wood to enhance stability and fish habitat. The bench was vegetated with a native seed mix and willow live stakes. Construction was completed in August of 2018, with ML2013 funds only used for work completed prior to July 1, 2018. -Turtle River: DNR partnered with the US Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Beltrami County to replaced an undersized culvert that blocked fish passage. The project opened up 13,000 acres of lake and wetland habitat and 30 miles of river that was formerly inaccessible to fish downstream of the project. -Mississippi River at Weaver Bottoms: Former deepwater habitat in Goose Lake, a former floodplain lake on the Mississippi River had been filled with silt over several decades. This project dredged 9 acres back into deepwater habitat, and was completed in the fall of 2017. Dredge spoils from project excavation were stockpiled on land for drying and eventual spreading and revegetation on private land. The deepwater habitat is becoming rare on the river due to sedimentation, and is critical for over-wintering habitat for bluegill, crappies, and other fish species. This project was split between the ML2012 and ML2013 DNR Aquatic Habitat appropriations, and accomplished acres split proportional to the total cost contributed by each. -Middle Fork Zumbro River/Lake Shady: This appropriation funded a portion (along with the DNR's ML2013 Aquatic Habitat) of the restoration of the Middle Fork of the Zumbro River through a former impoundment known as Lake Shady. The dam had washed out in a 2011 flood, leaving behind an eroding mud flat that threatened to harm downstream reaches as it eroded, and contained poor habitat in the channels that had cut through the mud. The former dam site's grade was stabilized by creating a rapids of stable rock material, and within the former reservoir new stream channels with appropriate dimensions were constructed. Habitat in the new channels was restored to include woody material as well as rocky riffles. Re-vegetation of the surrounding reservoir sediments with native plant species will provide quality riparian and upland habitat as well. The project was completed in partnership with Olmsted County ($125,736), the city of Oronco ($83,824) and DNR Dam Safety bonding funds ($1,000,000) all contributing funding. An additional $236,540 of in-kind staff time was contributed by Olmsted County.  In addition to the 147 acres of habitat restored, the project opened up access to 119 miles of stream. Accomplished acres are split between the two OHF appropriations proportional to funds contributed. -Middle Branch Whitewater River: Construction began on this project in September of 2016. At that time, the new channel and floodplain were shaped prior to the end of the construction season. However, this project has run into issues with design that have prevented its completion to date. An outside consultant has been hired by DNR to provide a final design, with a new construction period in the summer of 2019 to complete the project. DNR received approval for an amendment that added this project to our ML2015 Aquatic Habitat appropriation, which will be used to pay for the remaining design and construction of this project. -Aquatic Management Area enhancement: Enhancement work on 39 different AMAs such as prescribed burns, riparian plantings, and invasive species control were done on 1440 acres of habitat. Locations were in all four LSOHC planning regions. This work was made possible by the four AMA habitat positions funded by this appropriation. AMA staff assessed habitat needs at 106 AMAs, and developed management guidance that identifies enhancement needs for those parcels. In addition to the 39 projects done using this appropriation, AMA staff were involved with 106 other Outdoor Heritage-funded AMA enhancement projects, and provided guidance for 23 similar projects being lead by external partners who were using OHF money. -Stream Habitat Specialist positions: Two specialists were hired to coordinate statewide stream habitat worked that was funded by OHF. These positions were responsible for both DNR projects, and assisting partner organizations with their projects. These positions upped the capacity for DNR to undertake multiple larger stream habitat projects, and to increase the quality of projects being done by partners. During the life of this appropriation, specialists participated in the design and construction oversight of 23 DNR stream projects, and provided assistance to over a dozen local partners on over 50 stream habitat projects funded by various OHF appropriations.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brian,Nerbonne,"Mn Dept of Natural Resources","500 Lafayette Road ","Saint Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5205,brian.nerbonne@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Cass, Chippewa, Clay, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Fillmore, Hubbard, Itasca, Jackson, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Martin, Meeker, Morrison, Otter Tail, Polk, Renville, Rice, Rock, St. Louis, Wabasha, Winona","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-aquatic-habitat-phase-v,,,, 20694,"DNR Wildlife Management Area, Scientific and Natural Area and Native Prairie Bank Easement Acquisition",2014,4783400,"ML 2013, Ch. 137, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 2(c )","$4,940,000 in the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources to acquire land in fee for wildlife management purposes under Minnesota Statutes, section 86A.05, subdivision 8; acquire land in fee for scientific and natural area purposes under Minnesota Statutes, section 86A.05, subdivision 5; and acquire native prairie bank easements under Minnesota Statutes, section 84.96.

The prescribed burn on Benderberg WMA triggered an excellent response in the native wet prairie remnant.  It was largely an after-thought at this was former pasture, but the presence of fire really benefitted the native plant community.  There was even some hand- harvest opportunity for species like wood lily.  Without the roving crew and the MarshTracker, an Rx burn on this site would not have been possible.  This was the first time much of this ground had seen a fire in over 4 decades.  The plan is to periodically maintain this WMA with fire going forward and to maintain/enhance the wet prairie community that so wonderfully responded to it the first time around. These funds were used to complete more than 50 acres of woody control projects on the Lake Bronson and Two Rivers Aspen Parkland Scientific and Natural Areas.  These projects were part of an ongoing multi-year strategy to combat the encroachment of woody vegetation into high quality native prairies.  In addition to setting back encroaching willows and aspen, the Lake Bronson SNA project appeared to have positive impacts on the sites population of western prairie fringed orchids (a Federally threatened species) as the second highest number of orchids ever recorded on the site were counted the spring following the project.   One untold stories is the cooperation between conservation agencies and NGOs in Minnesota.  In some states, feds don’t like the state, and the NGOs fight among themselves.  In Minnesota, we all get along really well.  This is evidenced in partnership efforts that developed the Prairie Plan and Pheasant Plan.  One early fear with OHF is that this would cause these groups to start bickering over the resource.  In fact, the exact opposite has happened.  It has pulled us together and increased cooperation.  One example of that is our collective seed harvest and grassland restoration efforts.  In at least two areas, most notably Detroit Lakes and the Glacial Lakes area, multiple agencies/NGOs are coordinating their seed harvest and restoration efforts.    Partners are looking 1 to 3 years ahead on restoration efforts.  Seed production is best on burned sites.  Partners are determining what units and what soil types they want to restore each year.  Then they find native tracts or high diversity restorations with similar soil types.  These sites are prioritized for burning in the spring.   Once the site is burned, partners again work together to harvest and store the seed in the fall.  The seed is then distributed to the DNR, USFWS, TNC or other partners.  The seed is spread on the sites in the late winter or early spring.  In some cases, agency/NGO staff are harvesting the seed.  In other cases, they work with local contractors to harvest the seed.   Harvesting local seed is both cost-effective and when harvesting native tracts ensures we, collectively, are using a diverse mix of local ecotype seed.   Again, the OHF has helped developed new partnerships and projects that would not have happened or that would have happened at a much smaller scale with these critical funds.   Because this is a programmatic appropriation, it’s difficult to assign a dollar amount to a specific project.  Because of this and the large number of projects, we simply assigned dollars to projects proportional to acres completed in that project.  In the same way, we proportionally assigned dollars to personnel based on FTEs.     ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Hoch,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Road ","St Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5230,greg.hoch@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue, Grant, Houston, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Marshall, Martin, Nobles, Norman, Otter Tail, Polk, Pope, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Roseau, Sibley, Stevens, Swift, Traverse, Wabasha, Winona, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-grassland-phase-5,,,, 28730,"Documenting TOUCH: A groundbreaking program developed in Minnesota that changed the way people everywhere talk about and deal with child sexual abuse",2014,23850,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.",,,,,,23850,,"Robert Alama, Willie Bridges, Barbara Brin, Dr. Mark Bisignani, Anthony Bohaty, Amy Kramer Brenegen, , James W.

Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.","The goal of this project is to increase Ojibwe language and cultural proficiency in two apprentices and fluency in two masters while also increasing positive language imaging in the community over the course of an 18-month period. The intent it to partner with the Economic Development Language Preservation Group and Red Lake Head Start to integrate Master/Apprentice teams into the Head Start program. Another goal is to support Head Start objectives of child development and school readiness through integration of Ojibwe language objectives",2014-01-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,"Elizabeth ",Strong,"Red Lake Band of Chippewa","PO Box 588","Red Lake",Minnesota,56671,,,,"Minnesota Indian Affairs Council",,,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/endazhi-ojibwemonotaadiying,,,, 28719,"End-o-Line Railroad Park & Museum Inventory Grant",2014,27612,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.",,,,,,27612,,"John Giese, Gerald Magnus, Bob Moline, James Jens, David Thiner",0.75,"Murray County","Local/Regional Government","To begin the inventory of collections at the End-O-Line Railroad Park based on recommendations from a Museum Assessment Program evaluation.",,,2014-01-01,2015-04-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Anita,Gaul,"Murray County","2500 28th Street, PO Box 57",Slayton,MN,56172,507-763-3708,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Murray,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/end-o-line-railroad-park-museum-inventory-grant,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

Youth were placed into beginner or intermediate groups based on their Ojibwe language knowledge. The Ojibwe Language class schedule for both age groups for the 28 Ojibwe language sessions was planned for the remainder of the academic year. The First Language Project curriculum was developed, including power point presentations, visual and written handouts, and interactive games. An Attendance, Participation and Understanding tracking system was developed by the First Language Project Coordinator. The 7-12 yr old group attended 31 sessions during the academic school years and the teen group attended 28 sessions during the academic school year. Ojibwe lessons took place daily during ten weeks of two summer sessions. Forty-two youth ages 7-12 participated in summer programs. The First Language Project testing is broken up into three categories of scoring beginning is 13-19 points, intermediate is 20-43 points and dvanced is 44-77 points. Results from the school year: The Project Coordinator tried to start testing the youth close to the end of the school year in case some of the youth started dropping out. Eleven teens tested all togehter, their overall average test score was 42. Five teens tested in the advanced range, four teens tested in the intermediate range and two teens tested in the beginning stage. Twenty-six 7-12 year olds tested all together, their overall test score was 39. Ten 7-12 tested in the advanced range, eleven 7-12 tested in the intermediate range and three tested in the beginning range. Overall we thought these are great numbers, considering that we had a fair amouont of youth turnover resulting in new youth joining the program after the start. Results from the summer program: The second year students in the first summer session and both first and second year students inthe second summer session all had satisfactory evaluation scores. The scores for the second year students from the first session ranged from 34 as the lowest score, 47 the average score and 60 bieng the highest score out of a total of 77 points.

Without timely intervention,the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery. These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.","The Division of Indian Work’s First Language Project will service youth who attend Minneapolis Public Schools. The goal of this grant is that American Indian youth, ages 7-17 will increase their knowledge and practice of conversational Dakota language. Additionally, the goal is that these students will continue to study the language after the grant cycle is over. Measurement of these goals will be determined through periodic testing of the Dakota language acquisition.

",,,,1926000,,,4.55,BWSR,"State Government","This pilot project tested the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of acquiring grassland conservation easements and protected 459 acres of critical and threatened grassland habitat, through one MLT easement and two BWSR-RIM easements.  Through partner coordination among BWSR, MLT, TCF and local SWCD's, this proposal contributed to implementation of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. ",,"A Conservation Legacy in Jeopardy Native grasslands are the most threatened ecosystem in Minnesota.  The LSOHC defined Prairie Section has suffered the greatest habitat loss of any of the five sections examined by the Council. Furthermore, only a third of the remaining habitat in the Prairie Section is permanently protected. To compound the problem, in the next five years approximately 800,000 acres of Minnesota’s conservation lands enrolled in the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) will expire. Unless action is taken to continue protection of these lands by using a combination of conservation programs, many will likely be converted to cropland, eliminating most of the wildlife habitat and associated ecosystem benefits. This project piloted new and innovative approaches to securing conservation easements to permanently protect large assemblages of critical grassland habitat.  The need for this private lands approach in the Prairie Section is essential because ownership patterns in this landscape include many private landowners with smaller parcels that require custom-tailored conservation solutions. These solutions often involve crafting easements that assure conservation of the grasslands while also working with the landowner to make the management of the grasslands profitable and therefore, sustainable.   Lands targeted for protection through this pilot met the following criteria: Near or within the Core Areas identified in the Prairie Plan. Within approximately two miles of permanently protected land. Establishing connections to permanently protected land wherever possible. Within approximately five miles of a viable producer with a proven track record of managing grasslands with livestock and willing to own land protected by a permanent easement mandating grassland conservation management methods and practices. Low production cropland. Once these priority grassland complexes had been identified, the project partners tested three important protection elements in order to determine how to best implement a cost-effective grasslands program at a larger scale:  First, landowners within these identified complexes were offered a menu of land protection options to assess what is of greatest interest or application in this landscape.   One of the options included a model in which a non-profit partner, The Conservation Fund (TCF), would use its revolving fund to acquire land in fee from a landowner not interested in maintaining their land as a working grassland. TCF would hold ownership until funds are available to sell a conservation easement to an easement holder such as Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) or the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR).  Once the easement is in place, TCF would subsequently sell the underlying fee, now reduced in value by the conservation easement, to a pre-identified local producer.   This approach allows TCF to act quickly to acquire land that would otherwise be sold and converted to row crops. The value of the easement, and the value of the land sold to the local producer, will be determined by an appraisal.    Outcome - This option was investigated, but unfortunately due to a number of factors was not chosen by any landowners. Another option was for the landowner to sell a conservation easement directly to the BWSR or the MLT.  All easement acquisition funds were allocated to BWSR.  Once specific easements and their respective holders were identified, BWSR allocated the funds necessary to MLT to complete their acquisition through a State approved contract.  Outcome - One MLT easement was recorded on 284 acres in Pope County. Two RIM easements were recorded for 45.8 acres in Chippewa County and 129.5 acres in Murray County. The second element being tested was how to best implement grasslands protection in a private, working landscape. This included developing conservation easements and management plans that protect the important grassland and prairie habitats while simultaneously providing the agricultural producers with residual economic value through restricted grazing or haying. This is a critical issue for the ultimate success of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. Outcome - BWSR, MLT, and TCF worked together to develop a grazing plan template and for the MLT secured easement a conservation grazing plan was developed and is being implemented that allows a level of utilization of the grassland while prioritizing wildlife habitat.  Finally, this pilot project also explored how BWSR and non-profit partners can most cost effectively value and secure these unique conservation easements. This included an evaluation of all of the costs, potential leverage of federal programs, timing and landowner interest in the easements’ value to bring a program to scale.  Outcome - Valuations of easement payments to landowners between the RIM program and individual appraisals show general agreement in compensation.   This pilot project worked with local producers who were interested in promoting conservation compatible agriculture and who are interested in conservation easements that allow them to remain competitive in today’s climate of escalating agricultural land prices. This approach allowed state conservation funds to potentially leverage current or future federal funding via the Farm & Ranchland Protection Program, Grassland Reserve Program, or CRP. Due primarily to unavailability of federal funds non were utilized on the three secured easements. Management costs for maintaining grassland habitat will be largely borne by the local producer as part of their operation rather than be a continuous financial burden on the government. Finally, this approach also keeps land on the local tax rolls and helps to promote a diversified local economy. As an attachment to this final report is a seven page document that goes into detail on each of the points being piloted with this project.   The conclusions of this project included: 1.    BWSR’s RIM program is high volume, one size fits all.  While MLT/TCF are lower volume but can be flexible when necessary.   2.    At an individual easement level combining State government and non-profit (MLT and TCF for example) programs was not shown to be needed and did not provide benefits beyond what each entities programs could offer individually. While it is extremely valuable to have both program options operating within the same geography and acting in complementary fashions, they are different enough that combining them into one program did not create an advantage. 3.    It is important that a landowner have options that include both government and non-government easement programs so they can decide which works best for them. 4.    Valuations of easement payments to landowners between the RIM program and individual appraisals show general agreement in compensation.      5.    BWSR and MLT/TCF are able to utilize RIM or other funds from various appropriations to secure an easement.  For example, the Chippewa site would not have been permanently protected if BWSR was not able to utilize both OHF and Bonding funding.  This demonstrates how public and private entities can combine funding sources to enhance their effectiveness and why coordination of public and private programs is important.  6.    This pilot delivered a very successful working grassland habitat protection project as one of its outcomes, which included a model or template conservation grazing plan. MLT will monitor this property 2x per year to ensure compliance with the conservation easement terms.  7.    Landowner interest will fluctuate with commodity prices and land values making the timing of appropriations important to get right.  8.    Conservation easements satisfy only a portion of the landowner’s overall goals for their properties and must work in concert with the other uses and needs of private landowners.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tim," Koehler","Board of Water and Soil Resources","520 Lafayette Road North ","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-296-6745,tim.koehler@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,,"Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/grasslands-future,,,, 14421,"Grassroots Indigenous Multi Media",2014,37523,"M.L. 2013, Chp. 137, Art. 4, Sec. 2, Sub. 10 (b) ","$550,000 the first year and $550,000 the second year are for grants for programs that preserve Dakota and Ojibwe Indian languages and to foster educational programs in Dakota and Ojibwe languages.","The goal for the year is to create a web-based resource and a booklet that gathers, digitizes, organizes, and describes many of the curriculum materials and resources that are currently available.

","Minnesota’s most enduring languages are in danger of disappearing. Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe -- will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. ",,,,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Dr. Mary ",Hermes,"Grassroots Indigenous Multimedia","150 Pillsbury Drive",Minneapolis,MN,55455,"715 558 6236",mhermes@d.umn.edu,,"Minnesota Indian Affairs Council",,,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/grassroots-indigenous-multi-media,,,, 21059,"Great River Regional Library Legacy Grant SFY 2014 - SFY 2015",2014,250097,"Laws of Minnesota for 2013 Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 4","These amounts are appropriated to the commissioner of education for grants to the 12 Minnesota regional library systems to provide educational opportunities in the arts, history, literary arts, and cultural heritage of Minnesota.

In the mid-1990s, the Shaft House and Miners Dry House were renovated. Again the 6.5-acre area was later abandoned and subject to vandalism. Greenstone was granted a contract with the City in 2011 to manage the mine site and became aware of how little was known by the public of the historical significance of Ely mines. The signage and core are to help fill that gap with the goal of making the public aware and proud of iron ore mining’s importance to the city and its growth and how that impacted the building of America and two world wars.

Program planners developed new programs at Historic Fort Snelling, Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post and the Charles A. Lindbergh Historic Site. Evaluation results showed that 81% of program guests surveyed felt that these programs increased their knowledge of Minnesota history, places and culture. 71% of guests responded that these programs increased their personal connection to history. A new training program, ""Conversation as Interpretation,"" was developed to train staff for these new programs to make experiences more conversational and engaging, while preparing them to be more comfortable in discussing sensitive subject matter. The Alexander Ramsey House continued implementation of its popular new programs. The innovative programs include monthly History Happy Hours; a Ramsey After Dark series, where the secrets of Victorian life are exposed; Ramsey Time Capsule family days, including parlor games and other hands-on activities for children; and History Chef cooking classes, where participants use Ramsey family recipes to create authentic Victorian dishes in the Ramsey House kitchen. Program development areas also expanded to other areas of the state. Historic Forestville developed and implemented a new special event, Civil War Encampment Days of '63. As part of the commemoration of the Battle of Gettysburg's sesquicentennial, this experience included a recreated Civil War military camp, fire muskets, and special presentation of the Gettysburg Address by a costumed interpreter portraying Abraham Lincoln. At the Oliver Kelley Farm, program staff began the next stage of program development as part of an overall capitol project to improve and enhance the experience. MNHS collaborated with the Nicollet County Historical Society and Gustavus Adolphus College to create a new exhibit and trail signs for the Lac qui Parle Mission Historic Site. Students enrolled in a fall 2013 Public History course, taught by Gustavus' Dr. Sujay Rao and then-NCHS director Ben Leonard, explored museum careers while they researched, wrote and created a new exhibit. The productive partnership did more than just replace the over-30-year-old site interpretation. Several students went on to take a spring semester course offered by MNHS' Chris Taylor, and two completed summer internships at the Minnesota History Center. Several more are now contemplating graduate school or careers in the field.",,,2013-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,MNHS,Legacy,"Minnesota Historical Society","345 Kellogg Blvd. W","Saint Paul",MN,55102,651-259-3105,,"Capital Development/Rehabilitation","Minnesota Historical Society",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/historic-sites-revitalization-0,,,, 28558,"Historic Preservation Training at the 2013 Preserve Minnesota Conference",2014,6624,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.","The short-term targets were achieved through both the presentation of the awards and attendance of the 2013 Preserve Minnesota Conference.

Without timely intervention,the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery. These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.","This project provides Ojibwe language and culture classes to students in grades k-12.

MHM's primary goal for the Lake Minnetonka Nautical Archaeology 2 (LMNA-2) Project, a Phase 1 archaeological reconnaissance surveyer, was to examine specific wrecks and anomalies recognized through a sonar survey and determine their significance as submerged cultural resources. Of the 24 anomalies investigated, 11 were cultural resources and 13 were not. Of these, 1 wreck was understood to be a wreck but her identity as a capsized pontoon boat was confirmed, 9 new wrecks were confirmed, 4 wrecks were designated as archaeological sites-including 1 wreck discovered in MHM's LMNA-1 Project earlier in 2013-and 2 maritime cultural resources were identified. Of these two resources, 1 of them was designated as an archaeological site. All the resources were rudimentarily documented for future study and where appropriate, for possible designations as nautical archaeological sites in the future. One significant outcome is the ability to keep re-prioritizing the remaining nearly 100 anomalies left to investigate on the bottom of Lake Minnetonka. Based on the negative results produced from diving on Anomalies 3, 102, and 103 during the LMNA-1 Project, and Anomalies 10 and 58 during this project specifically, MHM now has new short, intermediate, and long-term priorities for future diving in the lake. This knowledge also extends to anomalies located in Lake Waconia and White Bear Lake. The goal of educating volunteer divers on proper search techniques was exceeded-the amount of data collected during the diving, the great attitudes of MHM's volunteers about the sites investigated, and the eagerness to investigate more anomalies to learn about them is very rewarding. MHM's attempts to educate the general public through social and professional media have also met with great success. In Minnesota, MHM sought the input of an online historic Crestliner boat forum in an attempt to determine the make of a wreck. In doing so, the forum members learned about the importance of keeping submerged cultural resources unspoiled and about the impressive maritime history of Minnesota that MHM in continually uncovering. MHM also went national to consult with a large group of wooden boat restorers and enthusiasts on the Century Boat Club forum with great results; 1 wreck's make and model was determined and the group steered MHM in the correct direction on another wreck. Both of those wrecks are now recognized numbered archaeological sites with the Office of the State Archaeologist. MHM exceeded expectations and produced great results from this project due to sound fieldwork planning, the solid methodology employed during the fieldwork, the previous systematic methodology employed during the remote sensing surveys that provided good data, and knowledge gained from the LMNA-1 Project. Additionally, MHM's vetting of volunteer divers - choosing only ethical people instead of the other 20 divers who express interest in diving for the wrong (treasure hunting) reasons, led to a great fieldwork environment. Basically, MHM did sound nautical and maritime archaeology, and strong maritime historical research that produced trustworthy data for analysis and future use. MHM's information about the sites located and documented has not always been met with favor by a small minority of the local recreational diving community. In the past they have expressed hostility toward MHM's efforts at site documentation and conservation; it was our hope that this group has begun to recognize the importance of site integrity and preservation. Throughout the LMNA-2 Project, MHM has not received one negative comment on social media or on an often monitored online SCUBA forum. MHM considers this progress, but the attitudes towards site conservation may not have changed; the looters might just be keeping quiet about their activities and opinions. It is an on-going issue. Through the free and easily accessible LMNA-2 Project report-dowloadable from the Internet Archive through various sources, including MHM's web site and Facebook page-it is hoped the divers prone to looting will read the report and recognize the need for preservation and documentation, not illegal destruction. Lastly, MHM was pleased to learn through a volunteer that Minnesota Historical Society Director Steve Elliott referenced MHM and its work as a leader in Nautical Archaeology in Minnesota during his keynote address at the 2013 Gales of November Conference in Duluth.

FIBI surveys sample the entire fish community, including non-game species which are often more sensitive to watershed and shoreline disturbance. In addition to FIBIs, DNR developed coldwater water quality standards for hundreds of lakes that support habitat for coldwater fishes, many of which are in decline. The FIBI and coldwater standards are used to help the MPCA assess the health of lakes and identify those lakes that may be impacted by nutrients or habitat degradation. The DNR participates in the MPCA watershed assessment process, using biological assessment data and interpretation to identify lakes as impaired or meeting standards, and to identify lakes of exceptional biological quality. We also use the biological assessment data to provide an analysis of the stressors contributing to lake impairments. ","Water pollution in lakes has traditionally been identified using water chemistry or water clarity samples, which give a brief snapshot in time for a limited number of pollutants. Biological standards are a measure of the biological community. They reflect changes to a lake over several years and respond to additional stressors beyond those measured by traditional water chemistry sampling methods. For example, the absence of certain indicator species suggests stress factors that might need further study, such as degraded shoreline habitat or connectivity problems. Together, the biological and chemical assessments provide important information to guide planning and restoration for clean water projects in watersheds.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations","Grant money awarded will be used to hire a local Elder Language Expert who will conduct semi-weekly language tables.

We’ve also taken to having feedback jars at most of our events where participants can drop a penny into a jar indicating their appreciation (or not) of an event. We change the titles with events, but basically we’re trying to find out some basic feedback. Did they love it/should we bring them back? Was it simply a decent night out?

My goal is to bring together digital photographs, graphic artist, and the printer. To help complete a published book called ''Folk Art Fish Decoys'' by Jay McEvers ''A Photo History''. To use personal photographs, put them in well arranged digital files, and deliver them to the layout artist in digital folders according to category and chapters. To write my story, write good descriptions, and to work with the graphic designer and be helpful with the tone and direction of the layout. To make the best book possible using the resources available to me.Bringing my personal photographs together and presenting them in a reference book is a new experience for me. I like carving and I like being recognized for my craftsmanship and for my works. I have the many photos, and having the greater community see what I have carved over the years is the greatest reward for me. To know how well the book is received by others, I’ll put an insert in each of the two hundred books. The insert will state that This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Lake Region Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund. With permission, I will include the LRAC logo. In the insert, I’ll ask my readers, What do you think? I’ll provide my email address and personal address and encourage their responses.","Because I usually sell the books one at a time, I learn some of the reactions to the book firsthand, so the best assessment tool is using comments made about the book. The feedback given on the book through verbal, or written comments has been positive. People like the book. “It’s a very inspiring book.” Several people were happy to spot their decoys in the book. The photographs were meant to show my style, craftsmanship, experience, and dedication and I believe I succeeded: Comment by postcards: “It’s an honor to get a grant like this.” “Just wish the book was longer! Loved it!” “Please have the Troll send me another copy.” Comment made by email: “got the book a few days ago and love it! It was a great idea and I am very glad to have it, just wanted you to know.

To feature Pope County as a viable venue for plein air artists because of its variety of landscape including prairie, lakes, agricultural lands, and interesting historical buildings, 2. To offer children an opportunity to learn and paint plein air in their community, 3. To provide the community with a high quality art show and opportunity to purchase art with Pope County sites as subjects, 4. To build an appreciation of plein air painting by exposing community residents to a high quality arts experience that is personally relevant to them.I, and The Copper Street Brass Quintet, will provide an evaluation of the residency in three ways: 1) in-class responses from the students, 2) exit surveys after the evening performance for the audience in attendance, and 3) online surveys for school faculty/staff, parents, students, and community members upon the residency’s culmination. I have worked with The Copper Street Brass Quintet to develop and utilize a feedback survey that we will print (and post online) to measure overall reaction to the project and to solicit ideas for improvement. The Copper Street Brass Quintet stays in the classroom and on stage after each performance and invites conversation from students and/or audience members. This informal audience feedback is an immediate reflection of their effectiveness on stage. This is also an opportunity to hear from parents and receive their perspective on The Copper Street Brass Quintet’s impact on their child. In the context of a short-term, two-day residency, there are several indicators that The Copper Street Brass Quintet will monitor and stay attuned to evaluate the success of the residency. They include: 1. Students who are engaged - asking questions, participating in activities, and volunteering to play. This is a strong indicator that kids are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. 2. Improved instrumental playing - band members will be more in tune, play together better, and use proper warm-ups prior to ensemble playing. 3. Concert attendance and crowd interaction with The Copper Street Brass Quintet at their evening performance.","The results were improved sound quality and performance techniques in my brass sections and higher level thinking in regard to how they participate/perform in an ensemble.

We will use the online stop count tools to estimate this. We will also walk through the museum occasionally to observe peoples' interaction with the stops. In the first few months, we will reposition any stop signs which visitors seem not to notice, to increase their visibility. To measure the success of our advertising, our greeters will ask some of the visitors whether they were familiar with the tour stop feature of our museum before arriving. We will ask for feedback from our greeters, to learn how most visitors respond to the introduction to OnCell, and whether we can improve the messaging. Visitors can leave audio comments for us on the OnCell system, which we will monitor to gauge satisfaction and note any need for improvement. Finally, we will have a one question paper exit survey asking how much the OnCell tour stops added to their visit, and a space for written comments, either positive or critical. While we won't be able to collect a survey from each person who used OnCell, we hope to collect surveys from about 10% of those users, approximately 300 per year. It would be very difficult to measure an increase in number of visitors solely due to our having the OnCell program, because of normal year-to-year fluctuations.

There were about 500 total cell phone call and mobile access visits from 270 people. Most were from Minnesota residents. We will have approximately the same size audience annually. 2. Visitor audio feedback: Some visitors provided more information about artifacts, showing that they were engaged. We received positive comments through audio feedback, too. The gist of them is that they enjoyed the experience, valued it, found the pieces concise and pleasant to listen to. 3.

I will distribute a questionnaire asking for feedback about the film. Questions that will be helpful for me are TECHNICAL 1) Is all the AUDIO clear and intelligible? COMPOSITION 2) Does the film hold together? EDITORIAL 3) Are there places where more or less information would be helpful? Those answers will give me a measure of the films effectiveness and also allow me to make adjustments for the final edit.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service enhanced 700 acres of wetland and bottomland forest habitat on the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge’s (Refuge) Root River Tract in Houston County. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) restored 112.7 acres of bluff prairie in Houston County; 8 acres of deep water habitat in Goose Lake (navigation pool 5 of the Mississippi River) and enhanced 200 acres of secondary channel and backwater lake habitat in North and Sturgeon Lakes (navigation pool 3 of the Mississippi River). ",,"Root River Tract (RRT):  Project planning and design included site elevation surveys, development of hydrologic models and analysis of restoration alternatives.  Recommended features to restore hydrologic connectivity included: removal of existing water control structures, installation of ditch plugs and breaching of existing low level levees and dikes.   A public informational meeting to seek input on a preliminary project plan was held and feedback from that meeting used to refine project alternatives.   A draft Environmental Assessment (EA) which evaluated four alternatives for restoring/enhancing the RRT was completed and released for a 30-day public comment period in September 2015.  A public meeting to discuss the proposed project and draft EA was held in October 2015.  Responses to comments received were provided in the final EA.  A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the preferred alternative was signed by the Regional Director, Region 3 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in January 2015.   Restoring natural topography and drainage patterns required removal of existing dikes/levees; construction of ditch plugs using fill materials excavated from existing dikes/levees; removal of existing water control structures; and filling of an existing fish pond with materials excavated from existing dikes/levees.  Plans and specifications for completing this work were developed and local, State and Federal permits were acquired.  Work was accomplished through a combination of contracts and skilled hired labor workers in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.  Heavy equipment (track trucks, backhoes, skid steers, etc.) was used to accomplish the work.  Large rainfall events in the watershed of the Root River created several floods in 2016 which affected project completion.  In September 2016, flooding on the Root River resulted in a levee breach that brought large amounts of floodwater from the Root  into the project area.  While this flooding delayed completion of some of the project features, it created a unique opportunity to observe how the project would function under flood conditions.  As a result of first-hand, on-site observations of flood waters entering and exiting the project site, project features were modified to enhance the overall hydrologic function of the project. In 2017, installation of low water crossings at locations where trials/roads traveling through the project area crossed restored river channels, oxbows and sloughs, finishing ditch plugs, native seeding, forest enhancement (planting of hard mast trees and flood plain species) and final grading of the project was completed.  Wet conditions and high Mississippi and Root River levels delayed completion of final project features in 2017.   The original goal for wetland and forest enhancement was to restore or enhance 700 acres.  That goal was achieved on time and under budget.  Approximately $299,612 was expended on the Root River project.  The cost of this project component was estimated at $450,000.   Bluff Prairie Restoration:  Bluff prairies, also known as “goat prairies” are a unique and rare habitat in southeastern Minnesota.  Goat prairies are found typically on south or west facing slopes.  Many if not most of these prairies are negatively affected by the invasion of tree species, in particular, red cedar trees.  Removal of red cedar trees as well as other trees from these prairies enhances light penetration to the vegetative layer under the trees and invigorates dormant/shaded prairie plants and seeds.  Restoring a natural fire regime through controlled burning on these sites further enhances prairie development.  Selection of prairies for restoration was based on public ownership and/or willingness of private landowners to have worked completed on their property.  Work was accomplished by contract to businesses familiar with goat prairie restoration techniques.  The original goal for bluff prairie restoration under this grant was to restore 70 acres.  The final bluff prairie acreage restored was 112.7 acres on 8 sites.  This project component was completed, on time, on budget ($150,000 spent) and exceeded the project acreage objective. Pool 3 (North and Sturgeon Lakes) – Pool 5 (Goose Lake):  This project component initially involved multiple habitat restoration/enhancement objectives using established large river restoration techniques such as water level management, channel modifications, island building and dredging. A “cost-share partnership agreement” between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Minnesota DNR was needed to fully execute the project, however, the federally funded portion of the project was placed in deferment until the language associated with partnership agreement and future project management could be amended to satisfy legal requirements. Based on these challenges, an amendment to the accomplishment plan for Pool 3 was approved on July 10, 2015 which reduced the dollar amount of leverage expected from the Federal Government and the potential scope of the project. An additional amendment was submitted and approved in March 2016 which added Goose Lake (Pool 5) as a project site and defined that portion of the Pool 3 project to only include a channel modification at the Brewer Lake inlet. Approximately $500,000 Federal dollars were leveraged and spent on planning and development of preliminary project specifications and Environmental Assessment (EA) for the larger project. Products from this planning effort were used to develop final plans and specs and to obtain the necessary permits for the LSOH funded channel modification project.  In 2016, 8 acres of Goose Lake was dredged to a depth of 7 feet to restore fisheries habitat. Backwater habitats are declining as a result of sedimentation. Dredging to restore depth in backwaters benefits many aquatic species by providing habitat suited for overwintering.  Permits were secured and a contract for the channel modification project at Brewer Lake inlet was awarded in April 2017. Placement of a rock channel liner and shoreline protection was performed from barge mounted heavy equipment. Construction was completed in the spring of 2018. Pre-project monitoring of habitat conditions, fish populations and freshwater mussel populations was completed before construction. The project has achieved the desired outcome of reducing Mississippi River flows and sedimentation rates in Brewer Lake, Buffalo Slough and Sturgeon Lake. The physical and biological response expected would improve aquatic habitat conditions for fish and mussels and protection of floodplain forest communities for a variety of bird and mammal species.  ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tim,Yager,"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service","51 E. 4th Street",Winona,MN,55987,507-494-6219,timothy_yager@fws.gov,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Dakota, Goodhue, Houston","Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/lower-mississippi-river-habitat-partnership,,,, 27954,"Lower Minnesota River Watershed Targeted BMP Installations in Tributary and Near Channel Stream Watersheds, Scott County",2014,126400,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Regular Session chapter 137","Projects and Practices 2014","This project will result in an estimated 26% reduction in total phosphorus.","This project resulted in an estimated annual reduction of 487.3 lbs of phosphorus, 487.3 tons of sediment, 718.9 tons per year of soil loss.","achieved proposed outcomes",151609,"LOCAL LEVERAGED FUNDS",126400,,,,"Scott SWCD","Local/Regional Government","This project will reduce sediment and nutrient loading to the main stem and local tributaries of the Lower Minnesota River (LMR) by providing cost share for practices that treat ravine headcut and channel erosion, streambank/shoreline erosion, ephemeral gully erosion, and direct-discharging open inlet drainage systems.

The fee title acquisition partners (MVT and TPL) were unable to complete the major acquisition they pursued together for the MN Valley National Wildlife Refuge due to landowner change of mind. The OHF grant funds spent were leveraged almost 1:1 with $800,350 in other, mostly non-state funds. ",,"Metro Big Rivers partners’ Phase 4 accomplishments, process and methods are described below. Additional information, photos and site maps are provided in attachments about each project accomplished. Friends of Mississippi River (FMR) enhanced forest and prairie habitat on 54 acres in Dakota and Washington Counties. These sites are situated within the Mississippi River corridor and provide important habitat for a variety of wildlife. Over 320 species of birds use the corridor for spring and fall migration, and need stopover sites like these two natural areas for refueling. In addition, with populations of pollinator species declining, there is need to  increase the quality and quantity of pollinator-friendly habitat, even with small habitat patches, to prevent further declines. These sites are also near or adjacent to other protected natural areas, adding important benefits of habitat linkages for wildlife. FMR’s work included $31,400 in leverage funds and in-kind support from local partners and high school students to complete the following activities: ·       Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park - FMR enhanced 35 acres of oak forest, 3 acres of remnant bluff prairie, and 1 acre of prairie at this natural area in Cottage Grove. Activities included forestry mowing and hand-cutting invasive woody vegetation, foliar treatments for re-sprouting stems, broadcasting native seed and conducting prescribed burns.  ·       Vermillion Linear Park - FMR enhanced 6 acres of riparian forest and 9 acres of prairie at this natural area on the Vermillion River in Hastings. Activities included hand-cutting invasive woody vegetation across the entire project area, foliar treatments for re-sprouting woody stems and herbaceous invasives, broadcasting native seed, and planting native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and sedges. Additional prairie-specific activities included grassland prep (sprays, burn, tilling, and harrowing), native seeding, mowing, spot treatments and a prescribed burn.  Great River Greening (GRG) exceeded its original goals by restoring and enhancing 76 acres total in Anoka and Ramsey Counties (66 acres were proposed). Leverage funds of $131,950 helped GRG restore 32 acres of prairie, enhance another 5 acres prairie and enhance 39 acres forest, as follows:    ·       Martins Meadows - GRG enhanced 39 acres of forest habitat on this City of Andover Open Space site situated  on the Rum River (29 acres were proposed).  Activities included removal of woody invasives (common buckthorn, honeysuckle, amur maple), tree thinning, woody encroachment removal, mowing, seeding and planting.  The improved habitat will benefit Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), including red-shouldered hawk, blanding’s turtle and gopher snake, all of which have documented occurrences just up and down stream of the site. ·       Trout Brook Nature Sanctuary (Trillium Nature Preserve) - This former rail yard on St Paul’s east side was transformed through a major restoration effort into a new naturalized area that reflects its original state.  Over the course of the project, 32 acres were restored to prairie and an additional 5 prairie acres were enhanced through woody invasives removal.  Activities included mowing, herbicide application, tree thinning, tree planting and prairie seeding. The restoration of this site presented unique challenges because removal of contaminated soil required use of heavy equipment, thereby compacting the soils and requiring additional seeding preparation work to establish vegetation. The nature sanctuary is a refuge for wildlife in an otherwise urban complex.  It also offers residents who are otherwise underserved in this part of St Paul access to natural space and wildlife. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) exceeded its goals by closing on two perpetual conservation easements within the St. Croix River corridor in Washington County. In total, 131 acres of high-quality habitat were protected by permanent easement under MBR 4, surpassing the 120-acre goal. MLT leveraged $637,000 in donated value across both easement acquisitions, a 2:1 ratio relative to acquisition funding provided by the OHF grant. The two properties protected under permanent conservation easements are:   ·       Old Mill Stream (Kingston) -- This 44-acre easement protects high-quality wetlands, forest and grasslands along 5,920 feet of Old Mill Stream, a state-designated trout stream in Washington County with a viable population of brook trout. The easement is abutted by William O’Brien State Park on three sides. Approximately 22 acres of the property are characterized as a Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance by the DNR due to the presence of rare species and moderate quality natural communities, which provides key habitat for a variety of Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), including red-shouldered hawk, northern long-eared bat and least weasel.  This property is located within the Audubon Society’s St. Croix Bluffs Important Bird Area (IBA), which functions as a vital migratory corridor. In particular, it is important nesting grounds for great blue heron and bald eagle. ·       St. Croix River (Docksteader Trust) -- This 87-acre easement protects high-quality mesic hardwood forest along the bluffs of the St. Croix River Valley in Washington County.  The protected property is directly adjacent to a scenic easement held by the National Park Service, which is part of a connected corridor of scenic easements extending 11 miles along the St. Croix River north of Stillwater.  The protected property lies within an Important Bird Area (IBA) of global importance identified by the Audubon Society, and provides important habitat for a variety of Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN).   Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) & Trust for Public Land (TPL): MVT and TPL were unable to acquire a large, high-priority property in Hennepin County for the Upgrala Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Unfortunately, negotiations that were moving forward ended when a member of the landowner group (a hunting club) changed their mind about selling. Club rules required two-thirds of shareholders to agree to the sale and did not allow the property to be divided. Consequently, MVT and TPL did not expend funds from this appropriation.   ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Deborah,Loon,"MN Valley Trust (Metro Big Rivers)","3815 East American Boulevard ",Bloomington,MN,55425,"(612) 801-1935",DebLoon@comcast.net,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Washington","Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/metro-big-rivers-phase-4,,,, 3613,"Metro Area Groundwater Monitoring",2021,,N/A,,"This appropriation has now ended.

Trout Run Creek (Winona). 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 grasses and forbes are planted along the stream corridors, although often mixed with fast sprouting annual grains to anchor soils the first year.  Unusual conditions in 2019 caused severe flooding in southeast MN which demonstrated that, due to the unique soils in southeast valley floors, more indigenous rock was needed on the toes of the stream banks on some projects.  These changes were made where needed, while staying within original budget.     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.   ",2013-07-01,2020-03-03,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Lenczewski,"Minnesota Trout Unlimited","P O Box 845 ",Chanhassen,MN,55317,"(612) 670-1629",jlenczewski@comcast.net,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Carlton, Cook, Dakota, Fillmore, Lake, Olmsted, St. Louis, Winona","Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-trout-unlimited-coldwater-fish-habitat-enhancement-restoration,,,, 20706,"Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Acquisition of Property Surrounding Lake Tamarack",2014,1000000,"ML 2013, Ch. 137, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 5(e)","$1,000,000 in the first year is to the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota to acquire land in fee surrounding Lake Tamarack in Carver County to be added to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

The Clean Water Fund and OHF were be used in cooperation to secure priority buffers permanently. Five hundred and thirty three acres of enhanced wildlife and water quality buffers were protected with OHF dollars and a total of 1,208 acres were protected from all sources of funding.   ",,"The Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council provided a recommendation to fund the first two phases of RIM Buffers, which secured 2932 acres of permanently established buffers that will continue to provide critical water quality improvements and improved nesting habitat. The complettion of Phase III brings the total of permanently protected buffers for wildlife and water quality to 3465 acres. This partnership program permanently added grassland habitat and reduced fragmentation by combining the efforts of the Outdoor Heritage Fund, Clean Water Fund, and bonding to secure buffers adjacent to public waters. Building upon the 100-foot RIM buffers funded through the Clean Water Fund, we added an additional buffer width (up to NRCS 393 standard for CRP buffers) to make clean water buffers more attractive and productive for wildlife. This program contributed toward the development of new habitat complexes and enhancement of existing habitats by expanding the size of narrow corridors and connecting them to large, permanently protected grasslands, wetlands, and shallow lakes. Furthermore, these wildlife buffers were targeted for landscapes with existing permanently protected habitat to accelerate progress toward achieving minimum thresholds of grass habitat required by waterfowl and other Species of Greatest Conservation Need. Many Species of Greatest Conservation Need benefit from large habitat patches and some require a minimum threshold of grassland habitat within a landscape.  Buffers are commonly viewed as simply a water quality practice, but buffers have notable positive impacts on wildlife due their unique upland and riverine habitat interaction. Not only are upland grasslands protected or restored, but detrimental impacts to stream-reliant biota is reduced. Many species of amphibians, such as southern MN's Northern Cricket Frog (endangered) rely on aquatic habitat during the breeding season and then spend most of their lives in upland habitat.  A scoring mechanism was employed to fund high quality wildlife buffer enhancements and target these funds. Buffers for wildlife under this program were prioritized based upon their ability to enhance public land habitats (e.g., WPA’s or WMA’s), protect expiring CRP lands, add key nesting cover to wetland/upland complexes, provide maximum water quality benefits, and enhance shallow lakes.  Criteria used to evaluate and prioritize buffers funded under this program include:  does buffer build upon a Clean Water Fund Buffer, proximity to other permanently protected habitat, buffers within a designated shallow lake watershed, proximity to lands open to public hunting, plant diversity, overall size, and type of water resource being buffered.  An open RIM Buffers application process for landowners was used.  This effort builds upon the momentum established for RIM Buffer enrollments supported by the Outdoor Heritage Fund and Clean Water Fund in the previous two funding cycles.   RIM Buffers Program delivery was supported by Minnesota's Farm Bill Assistance Partnership which includes Minnesota BWSR, USDA - Natural Resources Conservation Service, Minnesota DNR, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Pheasants Forever, and numerous local partners.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tabor,Hoek,"BWSR & Pheasants Forever","1400 E.

The certification program has also partnered with industry leaders including Land O’ Lakes Inc., Hormel Foods, and Central Farm Service to promote the program and enroll additional acreage. Farmers and landowners who treat all risks to water quality on their operation are certified and are deemed to be in compliance with any new water quality laws or rules for 10 years. Certification gives farmers and the public greater certainty about regulatory standards and assures the public that Minnesota’s farmers are doing their part to protect water quality.

Through its innovative and nationally recognized process of identifying and mitigating agricultural risks to water quality, the MAWQCP delivers on-farm conservation that helps protect and restore Minnesota’s lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater. The MAWQCP is a national demonstration project that is operated as a federal-state partnership between the State of Minnesota, the United States Department of Agriculture, and Minnesota’s 88 soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs). The certification program has also partnered with industry leaders including Land O’ Lakes Inc., Hormel Foods, and Central Farm Service to promote the program and enroll additional acreage. Farmers and landowners who treat all risks to water quality on their operation are certified and are deemed to be in compliance with any new water quality laws or rules for 10 years. Certification gives farmers and the public greater certainty about regulatory standards and assures the public that Minnesota’s farmers are doing their part to protect water quality.

",,,,,,"See Fiscal Year 2014",,"Minnesota Department of Agriculture","State Government","Minnesota Water Research Digital Library Water Research Inventory Database The Minnesota Water Research Digital Library (MnWRL) is a user-friendly, searchable inventory of water research relevant to Minnesota. It includes both peer-reviewed articles as well as white papers and reports. The Library provides 'one-stop' access to all types of water research. The Minnesota Water Research Digital Library is now fully functional and available online. Currently it is populated with over 3,100 diverse scientific research articles and project reports. Clean Water funds will be used to continue populating and managing the database in partnership with other state agencies and organizations. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) will provide support and training for partner organizations and conduct intensive outreach to Minnesota's water research communities as well as the general public. What is the status of the project? In 2018, changes were made to the MnWRL website to enhance the user experience with a wide range of search and filter tools. Visitors can browse by categories, find recently added or featured items, and do an advanced search using document descriptors and full document text.  ","This project established a centralized digital library of articles on water research in or relevant to Minnesota. The digital library gives water resource professionals, researchers, funders and the public quick access to a wealth of information that was previously scattered or hard to find. Users are able to search for literature on a wide range of water topics and submit water research reports to be shared with others.   MnWRL increases research accessibility and coordination and ensures full utilization of decades of water research that supports Minnesota’s groundwater and surface water assessment, protection and restoration activities. Organizing information about research projects in a single place will make it easier to find results and coordinate research efforts. ","In 2011, a project advisory committee was formed. This committee provided input on questions regarding the scope of material to be included and the types of searchable attributes in the Digital Library. During 2011, a high-level design was completed, including a data model and more than 100 draft screens (windows) for data entry, public searches, and database reporting and maintenance. In 2012, the data model was refined and the highest priority screens were developed. A preliminary, non-public version of the Water Research Digital Library was tested in the fall. In 2013, the Digital Library was populated with a ""starter-set"" of articles. In the spring of 2014, MnWRL was made available online. An ongoing program of comprehensive, targeted outreach efforts will ensure that water planners, landowners, researchers, and citizens throughout Minnesota know about this resource. While the project to establish the Digital Library concluded in 2014, the MDA and partner organizations will continue to build, maintain and improve it overtime. In 2016, MnWRL staff at MDA developed a partnership agreement template, met with potential state agency and academic partners, and secured a partnership internally with the Pesticide and Fertilizer Management Division for curation and entry of publications and data. In 2014 a Steering Team representing diverse organizations and stakeholders was organized to provide guidance on planning and operations of MnWRL. The Steering Team continues to meet quarterly to discuss work plans, promotion, partnership policies, and scope policies.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.","The project goals of this organization include engaging young children and their families in strengthening their cultural wellness through language acquisition and revitalization of cultural parenting/rearing practices while also preparing the family to be good advocates for their whole child’s needs.

The project is a continuation and expansion of work completed and underway by two other past Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund supported projects on determining the cause for the increasing mortality.",,http://www.lccmr.leg.mn/projects/2013/work_plans/2013_04g.pdf,2013-07-01,2016-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund","In Progress",,,Ron,Moen,"U of MN - Duluth NRRI","5013 Miller Trunk Hwy",Duluth,MN,55811,"(218) 788-2694",rmoen@d.umn.edu,,"University of Minnesota ",,"Cook, Koochiching, Lake, St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/moose-habitat-restoration-northeastern-minnesota,,,, 20691,"MN Moose Habitat Collaborative Phase II",2014,2000000,"ML 2013, Ch. 137, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 3(f)","$2,000,000 in the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources for an agreement with the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association to restore and enhance public forest lands in the northern forest region for moose habitat purposes.

",,"The Minnesota Moose Collaborative has implemented a variety of habitat enhancement treatments across the core of moose range in Northeast Minnesota on County, State, Federal, and Tribal lands since 2013.  Improving moose browse calls for treatments that regenerate preferred brush and tree species.  In some places this happens through natural or human disturbance.  Natural disturbances like wildfires provide excellent moose browse according to biologists.  Most logging on uplands results in some regeneration of moose browse.  However, there are tens of thousands of acres in moose range that will not see a natural browse regenerating event like fire or do not have enough volume of merchantable wood to make an economical timber sale.  In these areas the collaborative used bulldozers, brush saw crews, and prescribed fires to shear, cut, and burn the old decadent brush and stimulate re-growth that is more palatable, nutritious, and easy to reach for moose.   Cover for hiding from predators and protection from the elements is another part of the habitat equation.  Research has shown that moose prefer forests with mixed conifer and deciduous trees.  The pre-settlement forest in Northeast MN was 70% conifers and 30% deciduous trees.  Today that ratio is completely reversed with 70% deciduous and only 30% conifers. Improving cover habitat for moose means restoring conifers on the landscape.  The Minnesota Moose Habitat Collaborative has planted close to 3 million trees including white spruce, white pine, jack pine, and white cedar.  The pine and cedar must be protected from browsing by deer and hare using budcaps or tree shelters.  By the third year after planting, the seedlings need to be released from competition from surrounding trees and brush.  The collaborative accomplished this “release” with brush saws which both helps the trees get established and produces another flush of future moose browse. A look at plat books for counties in Northeast Minnesota quickly emphasizes the need for inter-agency partnerships to produce habitat results at a meaningful scale.  The ownership pattern looks like a patchwork quilt of County, Federal, and State lands (private as well but funds for this project are limited to public lands).   There is not an acre that gets worked on without some level of collaboration and cooperation between partner staff.  The first cut at site selection was made by looking at forest inventory data and local knowledge of potential project areas.  With time and experience, collaborative partners have refined the search for good moose habitat projects and added and dropped stands as field visits were conducted.   Proposals for specific work plans at each site are shared with wildlife biologists for their approval as beneficial to moose.  Partners decided who will manage the bidding and contracting, order necessary supplies, supervise the work, complete the documentation needed for invoicing, track the specifics of what was done at each site, and summarize accomplishments for grant reporting and other communication about the project as a whole.  As the grant recipient, MDHA is ultimately responsible for the finances and reporting to the Lessard Sams Outdoor Heritage Council.  But, the work it takes to produce results involves many of the partnering agencies.  The variety of combinations of roles and responsibilities between staff from MDHA, the Superior National Forest, Lake County Forestry, DNR, The Nature Conservancy, and the 1854 Treaty Authority that play out in completing the work is impressive.  For example, Lake County Forestry may identify a potential project on lands they manage,  a Forest Service biologist may review and approve it as a good moose project,  the 1854 Treaty Authority might collect pre-treatment data that is being used to track effectiveness,  The Nature Conservancy may order the trees and line up the planting crew, Lake County supervises the work, The Nature Conservancy again handles the documentation and site specific data and finally MDHA pays the contractor’s invoice and then requests reimbursement in the form of State managed grant funds. Field sampling and aerial surveys conducted by the 1854 Treaty Authority, U of M's Natural Resources Research Institute, the Fond Du Lac Band, and other agency and tribal biologists are showing that moose are preferentially using the sites that were treated through this project.

Unless conservation practices that include erosion control and buffers along the county's surface waters are implemented, it is likely that soil loss through water erosion will increase. By using models to target high risk erosion lands, the Mower Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has determined that between 49,000 and 62,000 acres in the county have the potential of eroding greater than the tolerable level.

Elm Creek flows into the Blue Earth River, which flows into the Minnesota River. Elm Creek is currently listed as impaired for fish bioassessments, turbidity, and fecal coliform. The four projects will use site specific techniques and state of the art channel design. These projects include the addition of log and rock vanes as well as tree revetments and willow cuttings when needed. Instead of using rock riprap, this project will only place a minimal amount of rock at the toe of the slope for stability. The vanes reduce the velocity and energy during peak flows and redirect the current toward the center of the channel, which in turn reduces flooding, streambank erosion, and helps reduce phosphorus carrying sediment. One of the projects will redirect a small area from its current channel, which is straight and erosive, to a lengthier, meandering channel. These 4 projects will serve as a model for future projects because of the ideal locations and the vulnerable conditions of these sites.

Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves.  As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.

Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves.  As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations. ","Niigaane Ojibwemowin Immersion School is responding to a need for Ojibwe culture-based education. Niigaane employs teams of culture-based education alignment specialists, curriculum writers and teachers to focus on and deliver relevant content in classrooms. The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe is also committed through direct funding of the school and fluent elder teachers spend weekly time in the classroom. Outreach activities are performed such as students presenting at the Minnesota Indigenous Language Symposium using their Indigenous language.

The Gun Lake parcel purchased in this appropriation illustrates how we are working together to protect only strategic habitat critical to improving sharp-tailed grouse populations.  All acquired acres are within the northern forest region.  We have a balance of $24,300 that will be returned to the Fund.","   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 10,000 in 2009), 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, preliminary 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 (allelic diversity and heterozygosity) has declined so greatly that Wisconsin DNR has translocated sharp-tailed grouse to create a genetic infusion to increase the likelihood that populations will persist.  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 1,732 acres of openland, brushland, and forest habitat (879 acres wetland and 844 acres upland - hayland, pasture and forest).  Acquisition of the habitats and their transfer to MDNR for management under the 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 to maintain open and brushland landscape.  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, and spring peeper will benefit, as well as the sandhill crane which is expanding its range.             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 nearly-completed sharp-tailed grouse habitat use model (attached) will soon be ready for targeting brushland habitat for protection, restoration and enhancement efforts.      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.  Opportunities to protect and connect suitable patches of this size are dwindling due to development, parcelization and other landscape change pressures.         A pilot study in Aitkin County was conducted in spring/summer 2009 as part of a planned long term study to examine habitat selection, nest success and survival of sharp-tailed grouse.  Data from this study and the long term study to begin spring 2013 will provide addition information to improve and keep management adaptive.     Annual spring surveys of sharp-tailed grouse leks allow for monitoring of local populations and the effect that habitat protection and enhancement and other land management activities have 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.","Working in close collaboration with partners, Pheasants Forever acquired 396 acres of strategic habitat that builds onto existing protected lands and/or develops corridors for wildlife. All land acquired has been enrolled into the state Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Program and will be protected and managed in perpetuity by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. We have worked together with federal, state and local partners when acquiring both parcels which will now be celebrated as new WMAs. These new WMAs not only provides access and recreational opportunities for all Minnesotans, but helps address a strong need to provide more secure nesting and brood rearing habitat for sharp-tailed grouse near existing leks. The offer to the landowner was based on fair market values and appraisals. The acquired parcel helps address a backlog of willing sellers which is now helping slow the loss, degradation, and fragmentation of habitat in Minnesota. Parcels were identified jointly with the MN DNR, ranked, and prioritized on habitat goals and feasibility. Pheasants Forever's methods are formed around the principle of accelerating the Wildlife Production Area program in MN by targeting only the best available habitat with willing sellers. We utilize local partner expertise to focus on building a system of interconnected wildlife complexes that create habitat mosaics. We also utilize the latest geospatial layers to help determine factors such as: habitat restoration potential, landscape scale significance, presence of rare features and native habitat, and how these acquisitions fit into other priorities for our partners. This proposal was amended to reduce our acre goal which was proposed in the June 2013 Council meeting and approved by the council. We came to the council in June to reduce the obligated acres from the original proposal because of the importance of this parcel and the fact that it costs more per acre than anticipated. The council approved these changes because of this parcels wildlife value which includes multiple sharp-tail leks, water mitigation credits, a DNR history of grouse viewing blinds. Gun Lake WMA is a complex of 762 acres of contiguous habitat. All parcels acquired have been or will be restored and/or enhanced to as a high quality as practicable. All agricultural row crops on these parcels have been or will be 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. Scattered invasive tree removal and prescribed fire were used where appropriate to enhance existing grassland habitat after protection.",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Eran,Sandquist,"Pheasants Forever","410 Lincoln Avenue South","South Haven",MN,55382,320-236-7755,esandquist@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Aitkin,"Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/northeastern-minnesota-sharp-tailed-grouse-habitat-partnerhip-phase-iv,,,, 28997,"NorthfieldHistorical: A Digital Nexus for Partners in History",2014,67616,"Session Law Reference: Laws of Minnesota 2013, Regular Session, chater 137, article 4, section 2, subdivision 5, b. 3.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations","This grant money will be used to implement and train on the new scope and sequence model for preschool-early childhood (K-3) for Ojibwe language instruction.

Place-based electronic data and reports will be easily accessible for use by internal and external stakeholders for a variety of management purposes in communities throughout Minnesota. ","Minnesota's natural resources are facing increasing pressure from intensive land uses like agriculture and urban development. Many activities, such as taking groundwater or surface water for irrigation, industry, or community domestic uses, require permits under Minnesota Law. Permits for water use, as well as for alterations to shorelines and watercourses (public waters work) and dam safety, help the state ensure the sustainable long term use of Minnesota's water resources. In 2011, The Minnesota Legislature passed and the governor signed House File 1 and Governor's Executive Order 11-04, directing state agencies to accelerate and simplify permitting processes. The web-based permitting system will allow for a more efficient and effective permitting process and provide a more positive experience for stakeholders by reducing the amount of time required to submit permit applications; enabling cost-effective and timely communication with applicants regarding the completeness and status of their application; and allowing applicants to pay permit and water use fees online.

It is critical that customers have a positive user experience with the online system and a decision was made to defer public release in order to ensure functionality ease-of-use and DNR staff comfort in using the internal side of the new system before rolling out to the public. The additional time has also enabled minor fixes and incorporation of staff-recommended enhancements.",,,,195327,41669,,1.0,,,"This project will establish a web-based permitting system to capture essential water appropriation information. The system will include an online permit application process for water use and other permits. The online system will streamline the permitting process for applicants and significantly reduce staff time correcting and managing permit applications and water use reports that are incomplete or have incorrectly calculated permit fees. The use of technology in the application and reporting process will also eliminate staff time needed to enter data and scan and route documents. Place-based electronic data and reports will be easily accessible for use by internal and external stakeholders for a variety of management purposes in communities throughout Minnesota. ","Minnesota's natural resources are facing increasing pressure from intensive land uses like agriculture and urban development. Many activities, such as taking groundwater or surface water for irrigation, industry, or community domestic uses, require permits under Minnesota Law. Permits for water use, as well as for alterations to shorelines and watercourses (public waters work) and dam safety, help the state ensure the sustainable long term use of Minnesota's water resources. In 2011, The Minnesota Legislature passed and the governor signed House File 1 and Governor's Executive Order 11-04, directing state agencies to accelerate and simplify permitting processes. The web-based permitting system will allow for a more efficient and effective permitting process and provide a more positive experience for stakeholders by reducing the amount of time required to submit permit applications; enabling cost-effective and timely communication with applicants regarding the completeness and status of their application; and allowing applicants to pay permit and water use fees online.

We will conduct exit polls at events to gain insight into how the performances were received and what their future needs are. We would hope that 75-90% of the respondents liked the events and indicate that they will return for future events. The arts thrive in southwest Minnesota. The Little Theatre goals fit into this strategic outcome. Our goal for our organization is to utilize our theater throughout the year for a wide variety of artistic endeavors. We would like to have in place a dynamic calendar that includes a combination of community theater, musical performances, an annual film festival and children’s workshops. Our theater will be a space for local artists to perform as well as a space for touring artists to bring their talents to our community. In addition, we want to collaborate with other regional theaters to make it possible for nationally touring acts to come to rural Minnesota. In the future, greater collaboration with the local school district’s drama and speech departments will create a more vibrant atmosphere for creativity. We believe that this fits nicely into Southwest Minnesota Arts Council's Strategic Outcomes by increasing the availability of musical and performance arts in the region. An investment in the theatre is also an investment in the future of the local arts scene, as its partnership with the school will give local students a vital opportunity to develop as performers.We will evaluate our goals by attendance, and exit interviews at events.","Our concert series had an average attendance of 68 people.

By end of 2015 there will be 4 classes per month for adults, 2 per week for youth. The need for after school classes is clear, there is no other organization in Hutchinson that can fulfill this. Adults have asked for a variety of classes. Goal to maintain a cohesive cadre of instructors who have a wide variety of artistic interest and expertise. The Arts are interwoven into every facet of community life. The arts thrive in southwest Minnesota. People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. The Hutchinson Center for the Arts becomes a cornerstone establishment for the Arts Plaza, providing a communal gathering space for all to enjoy a variety of arts experiences. By increasing the visibility and viability of the Partner Organizations, we help provide arts driven opportunities to the community. The arts are seen as adding vibrancy to the fabric of a town known for its manufacturing. The increased interest in classes, attendance at exhibits and performances indicate the community is embracing the arts more and more, the Hutchinson Center for the Arts has been a critical component of this. By serving as a hub for the arts, the message about arts opportunities in Hutchinson has been disseminated more effectively. Partner Organizations are thriving and seeing increased attendance at their events and classes. Establishment of classes for youth and adults has provided much needed outlets for those not involved in sports. There is currently no other organization that provides this. Being able to expand on this will infuse the arts more deeply into the community. Continuing to strengthen the Hutchinson Center for the Arts will increase art awareness in southwest Minnesota.Goals will be measured by reaching mile stones listed above. Policies and procedures manual will be completed and distributed to all board members. Committees will be functioning and reporting to the board.

Electronic newsletter sent on a monthly basis, ability to communicate with donor and Founder's Club members. Communication is at least once per month. Class schedule has been set and followed, new classes being offered and researched. Youth program well established, offering a curriculum based art experience.

Additionally, we would like to pay her for 63 hours of discretionary time which included attendance at evening meetings and work done at concerts after hours. Another goal is to save $360 per month on rental expense which will help our general fund balance which is precariously low. Assuming we receive this grant, one of our goals would be to expand our education programming as follows: -outreach offerings by 3 each year (3 in 2013) to 6 and then to 9. (presentations at sites other than the Center to show examples, tell about offerings, informational; -Class offerings by 3 each year (1 in 2013) to 4 and then 7 (watercolor, photography, etc.); -Event programs by 3 each year (an artist's presentation that lasts about 2 hours; for example: Poetry with Florence Dacey, Mary Lou Peterson drama presentation, improve program); -Studio Night - an evening, hopefully bi monthly in which one to three artists are on site to practice their art and share their expertise with attendees in a hands-on atmosphere. In order to expand, we need to be able to pay the artists and keep the registration fees free or very low. Also, because our Center is small, some events/classes will need to be held in other venues which charge a rental fee. Art supplies are often needed for classes, so we need fund for those. The arts thrive in southwest Minnesota; we believe that the arts thrive in southwest Minnesota, not only because of our organization, but because of the other offerings in the area such as The Southwest Minnesota Orchestra, the High School music, theater, and speech departments, Prairie Dance Alliance, Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, Music and Theater departments at Southwest Minnesota State University. Our goals will help continue and achieve this outcome because of our continued programing in the areas of exhibits, concerts, noon arts events and our gift shop. If we receive this operating grant, we will be able to expand our education program to include more classes and special events, such as poetry reading. It will also help us to reach more people through expanded publicity, updated website, timely newsletters, and better record-keeping due to the increase in time and salary for the Coordinator. Having extra funding for rent will help us reach our goal of becoming more financially stable, the funding for chairs will help us reach our goal of helping our volunteers be more comfortable!We will use numerical data regarding payroll to track salary expense, time worked (log), and workman's comp expense. For education, we will use numerical data to track programs offered (special events, outreach, classes), comparing offerings to offerings in the past two years. For rent assistance goal, we will also have computer data which indicates payments for rent. We will be able to see if the extra money we have helps us to meet expenses and have a stronger balance at the end of each month. The extra money will not be earmarked for a targeted expense, but, rather, to improve our bottom line. Our computer data will indicate money spent on new chairs.","Our outcomes were evaluated by numbers of classes, outreach events and special events that we offered. We achieved our main goal of providing more hours and higher salary to our coordinator. This achievement, in turn, allowed for more programming assistance.

Our goals will support our continued presence and contribution to both the arts community and the town of Milan. Milan is a very small town whose identity has become interwoven with Milan Village Arts School, which reflects that the arts are woven into our community. Milan has repeatedly demonstrated that the arts are vital to the town’s health by supporting the school financially, by cooperating with us for public works and events, and by valuing arts in other activities and forms outside of Milan Village Arts School. It is hard to separate Milan and the arts since Milan Village Arts School is such a key part of what continues to animate the town. As the school and the town of Milan continue to thrive, they continue to contribute to the health of arts in southwest Minnesota in general. We need to work on expanding our student base, primarily by overcoming the barriers that keep people of different ages (mostly older students attend classes, we need to reach out to a younger audience) and different ethnicities (we have a large Latino and Micronesian community in Milan). We would like to dedicate more energy to including these different populations in the future.Our goals are very concrete and measurable, with numbers related to board members, volunteers, web presence and the creation of new evaluation tools. We currently distribute an evaluation after each class, but not after the spoon gathering or various studio sessions. We would like to update the current class evaluations, have a clearer invitation for feedback and class requests on the website, and develop more comprehensive evaluations for our other events and demonstrations. These evaluations will be included in our final reports, as well as synthesized information collected from them. The upcoming board retreat will provide a clearer plan and calendar for evaluative activities.","1. The growth of both classes and the growth of student numbers: This was down a little last year due to the basement project. The school was largely out of commission from July - October while construction was underway. 2. The growth of students and classes in the school’s youth programs: While small in number the classes are growing with a number of instructors interested in developing youth classes. John Larson and Kirstin Lindstrom’s classes have been quite popular and have filled when held. The number of Youth members is steadily growing. 3. The expansion and growth of artist studios: Along with the framing, weaving and silver studios, the school is presently developing a carving studio. The studios continue to prosper, develop and attract students. The Open Carving Night studio was recently opened with plans to develop a ceramics studio in the future. 4. The development of a comprehensive updated website: This is still in progress. A new website is being developed on Squarespace. 5. The development of a student art store: In progress. 6. The development of improved marketing through a greater online presence and a Minneapolis satellite school: In progress. Classes will be trialed in the St. Paul school in 2016. 7. Greater revenue and a larger operating budget: The budget for 2014 is much larger than usual due to the funding raised for the basement and the consequent capital expenses. The overall budget will decrease, but is expected to be higher than previous years. The current Schedule year from October 1- September will be the best sales year the school has had with total sales around $40,000. 8.

The first phase of this, probably taking the better part of the first year, perhaps longer to realize will be to get our educational outreach arranged. We would like to have our Kids’ Art Club attended by at least ten students at each session. We would like to hold an average of one adult class or workshop per month and have a minimum of six students enrolled in each one. Another goal is to have our new, themed exhibits at the Barn Theatre continue to grow. We had twenty-five entries by fourteen artists for our first one and we would like to keep the level of participation at least that high, preferably higher, for all future exhibits. It is our hope that because of our work people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities will participate in the arts in the greater Willmar area. By offering arts activities for children we will expose these students to a variety of art forms at an early age. The Barn has an active children’s theatre program so adding a visual art component is the logical next step. By offering adult art instruction, we will make it possible for more people to experiment with art forms or improve skills they are interested in. We plan to offer different levels of instructions so more people will participate. And finally, it is our hope that because of the location of the art center, in downtown Willmar, we will eventually be able to reach out to the immigrant community. Many of the artists we send into the classrooms for the Artist in the Schools program report that the minority children are often the most enthusiastic about art. Hopefully we can get some of them to attend the Kids’ Art Clubs and perhaps eventually reach out to other family members.We have always had artists, food vendors, performers, and demonstrators at Celebrate Art! Celebrate Coffee! fill out an evaluation at the end of the festival. We compile the information we receive on those and review it at the follow-up meeting. Visitors to Studio Hop can pick up a prize card to be stamped at all the studios they visit to qualify them for one of two gift certificates. We have a brief survey on the back that they fill out. We ask how they heard about the Hop and similar questions. We use this information to help us evaluate if our promotional materials are effective. We also have a follow-up meeting with all the artists and make notes on their experience. We have a guest book at the exhibits and Board members attend the receptions and pick up comments from attendees. We will have the instructors record the kids’ responses to the Art Club after each session. We will periodically ask the parents to fill out a survey recording how their child benefited and suggestions for future sessions. All participants in the adult art classes will be asked to fill out a survey. We will ask how they heard about the class, their rating of the instruction, and suggestions for future classes.","We were extremely pleased by the results of all our evaluations. Both Studio Hop and Celebrate Art! Celebrate Coffee! were ranked very highly by all the responders. The students' responses to the classes were also very positive. The themed, invitational exhibits at the Barn have been extremely popular with never fewer than 15 entries, usually more.

Having a building to call home will bring sustainability to our program and help our programs thrive. We believe that many of our small communities love art but lack capacity or expertise to have art at the level they would like to have in their communities. Goal two: Work with another community in the area to maximize our resources and make programs/activities accessible beyond the city limits of Granite Falls. We want to take what we have learned and help other struggling communities in the hopes to ignite an energy that will help their program become more sustainable because if more of the communities around us have greater capacity then it is our hope to work together to increase the overall experience for everyone through shared resources. Goal three: Increase our attendance of the summer arts programs by 10% each summer for the next two years. We will work to increase affordability, access and diversity for our summer programs and it is our goal to bring those people into other aspects of our program and in doing so it will grow our program.For goal one – it will be a financial number and easy to measure. For goal two – it will be working with at least one other community and we will develop a rubric with questions to determine if the activities were made possible by the partnership for all organizations involved. It will also have a component for the artists involved to comment on how the partnership impacted their experience as well. For goal three: there will be a comparison of numbers from 2013 forward. We will look at demographics and create a rubric on continued participant engagement. Periodically throughout the year, participants will be contacted to determine how their experience in the summer workshop has or has not kept them engaged with Granite Area Arts Council. In the event the participants have not remained engaged, we will look at the reasons for to determine if appropriate adjustments may be made to improve our program.","Our goal 1 to retire debt: We were able to retire $3,600 of our debt. Goal 2 to work with another community to maximize our resources: Granite Area Arts Council partnered with Friends of the Arts in Renville to schedule a musical performance with Willson and McKee, unfortunately the concert had to be cancelled due to a blizzard. Goal 3 to increase attendance of summer arts program by 10%: We had cement sculpture class, garbage can theatre, earring class, vocal workshop, guitar class, adult ceramics, kids art camp, creative journaling, and photography boot camp. While we had to cancel a few of the classes due to enrollment, we were able to offer a broader and more diverse array and overall attendance was up 46% (from 21 to 46 attendees).

",,"Pelican Lake, located in eastern Wright County within ½ hour of the Twin Cities metro area is a shallow lake known statewide for its waterfowl production, migration, habitat, and hunting opportunities and is a state-designated wildlife lakes in Minnesota. This shallow lake basin has no natural watercourse inlets or outlets. Since the late 1950s and particularly, since the late 1970s, Pelican Lake has experienced a decline in water quality and a loss of the extent and quality of aquatic plant communities that once supported wetland wildlife habitat. This decline in water quality and loss of plant communities is associated with high lake levels and watershed land uses that increase water runoff. Agricultural land uses such as tiling and ditching within the Pelican Lake watershed have altered the natural hydrology and contributed to the decline in water quality. High water levels in Pelican Lake have contributed to persistent and increased rough and game fish populations, as well as a shift from rooted aquatic plants (macrophytes) to algae-dominated (plankton) communities. Increased turbidity due to re-suspension of bottom sediments and algae has resulted in the absence of rooted macrophytes from large areas of the lake.  These macrophytes, when present, moderate wave action, stabilize bottom sediments, uptake nutrients, and provide habitat for invertebrates. These factors have resulted in Pelican Lake changing over time from a “clear water state” to a “turbid state"" and caused negative effects on lake productivity for waterfowl and shorebirds that historically used Pelican Lake as a migration stopover destination. The loss of important food sources associated with diverse macrophyte and invertebrate communities was the primary factor associated with declining use of the lake by waterfowl and shorebirds. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) cooperated with Ducks Unlimited to install the significant infrastructure needed to enhance Pelican Lake through managed drawdowns. In 2012, Ducks Unlimited completed bioengineering designs and preliminary construction plans for the Pelican Lake project and oversaw all subsequent construction.  The project focused on the construction of a variable crest outlet weir and pump lift station which would allow for the gradual dewatering of the basin through an outlet (also developed as part of this project). The outlet was completed in 2014 and was followed by construction of a stoplog weir structure.  A pump station was constructed at the existing edge of the eastern-most bay of Pelican Lake. A 24-inch intake pipe was installed from this point for 900 feet into the lake The intake pipe involved placement of a structure within the lakebed to support the intake pipe at the proper elevation. The pump allows lower drawdowns than are possible with the weir structure alone.   The water level management that this project makes possible is guided by the Pelican Lake Management Plan (2012), which details habitat objectives for the lake and defines triggers that determine what and when management actions are taken.  Pelican Lake is currently in the middle of a multi-year drawdown. The DNR plans to develop a parking lot and lake access point in 2019 to give hunters and visitors better access to Pelican Lake.   ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ricky,Lien,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources","500 Lafayette Rd Box 20","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5227",ricky.lien@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Wright,"Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/pelican-lake-enhancement,,,, 28668,"Permanent Exhibition Research and Planning",2014,9990,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.",,,,,,9990,,"Don Anderson, Nancy Azzam, Crystal Boyd, John Colwell, Betty Crews, Jim Hera, Kenneth Huber, Nancy Kochendorfer, Linda Loomis, Rudi Martignacco, Peggy Nelson, DeDe Scanlon",,"Golden Valley Historical Society","Non-Profit Business/Entity","To hire a consultant to research potential themes for upcoming permanent exhibits at Golden Valley Historical Society.",,,2014-03-01,2015-03-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Crystal,Boyd,"Golden Valley Historical Society","7800 Golden Valley Road","Golden Valley",MN,55427,612-247-5283,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/permanent-exhibition-research-and-planning,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

We will continue to implement subsequent Phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. ",,"1. Scope of work: With the requested funding, and with other funds leveraged by this money and brought by other partners, the following actions and outcomes were acheived. Phase 4 built upon the success of the MN Prairie Recovery Project Phases 1-3 by continuing and expanding enhancement work in 4 focal areas and protection in 5 areas. Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments. 1,707 acres of existing and restorable grassland, prairie pothole wetland complex, and savanna were permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as defined in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Lands are held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to LSOHC requirements. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been, and will continue to be, implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), via interactions through Local Technical Teams. An internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs and property tax obligations. Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, and/or cropping) are held in this account and help offset property taxes. 440 acres of cropland and former foodplots were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Contracting preference was given to local producers and contractors for provision of seed and establishment of prairies to promote creation of local conservation-oriented businesses. 37,567 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (“protected conservation lands”) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire (75 projects totalling 27,997 acres), removal of woody vegetation (95 projects for 3,725 acres), control of exotic species (84 projects - 5,821 acres), and inter-seeding of degraded grasslands (4 projects - 24 acres). Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC. On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or US Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and USFWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and other activities related to prairie conservation in the focus areas.  Contracts were let to provide a high level of enhancement activities to new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities greatly improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing local jobs through CCM and businesses. Activities included removal of undesirable woody vegetation, identification and treatment of invasive species infestations, removal of abandoned fences and/or other structures, and related restoration/enhancement activities. To ensure goals and outcomes are consistently achieved across all 4 project areas, the project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. Significant marketing and media outreach was conducted by the Conservancy to highlight the goals and accomplishments of the project to local and statewide constituents, as well as elected officials. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/minnesota/policy/minnesota-prairie-recovery-project.xml Temporary seasonal crews were employed by the Conservancy to provide additional capacity for public land management during critical periods like spring burn season. These crews helped create flexibility for enhancement projects and maximized the ability of specialized skilled personnel like burn bosses to increase the number of acres annually enhanced. 2. How priorities were set: Prioritization and prioritization criteria vary with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with MN County Biological Survey prairie “focus areas” and TNC portfolio areas. Each of the 4 project geographies directly correlate to core areas identified in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Because this project is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by respective coordinating groups. criteria for each of these tactics include: a. Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding. A more robust listing of selection criteria can be provided upon request. b. Restoration: feasibility/likelihood of success, location, cost, availability of seed, and availability of restoration technical assistance, proximity to other habitats, and their ability to buffer or increase the conservation value of other protected lands. c. Enhancement: urgency/time since last enhancement, feasibility of success, accessibility, availability of enhancement technical assistance, cost, proximity to other habitats and partnership benefits. 3. Urgency and opportunity of this proposal: Only about 1% of Minnesota’s original native prairie still remains (about 235,000 acres of an original 1.8 million), and the remnants are still being destroyed and degraded. Less than half of those 235,000 acres are currently protected from conversion, and management capacity is unable to address needs on protected lands. Additionally, more than 90% of the original prairie pothole wetlands in the western part of the state have also been lost. These losses threaten the viability of Minnesota’s prairie/wetland wildlife and recreational opportunities that depend upon them. Further, huge strides that have been made in supplementing habitat with the Conservation Reserve Program are in imminent danger of being lost as contracts expire. Conservationists have a narrow window of opportunity to protect remaining native grasslands, wetlands and other habitats, restore and protect supplemental grasslands and wetlands, and accelerate enhancement efforts to ensure these habitats are providing optimal value to animals and people.  4. Stakeholder involvement: This Phase continues an initiative begun with OHF funding in 2010. We have worked very closely with conservation interests in developing and maintaining this initiative and will continue close collaboration among partners. Via past and ongoing projects, we are also coordinating with other stakeholders (e.g., cattlemen’s associations, Land Stewardship Project, county boards), and will continue to seek opportunities to expand that coordination.  Planning This project implements strategies identified in at least 6 plans, as identified below. 1. The 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan (Plan) identifies three distinct strategies and opportunities for targeting protection, restoration, and enhancement of Minnesota’s prairie and grassland systems. The plan recommends work in “Core Areas” defined as large landscapes that retain some features of functioning prairie systems. Using MN County Biological Survey data and USFWS Habitat Assessment, Populations and Evaluation Team (HAPET) 2. MN Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan. The strategic framework of this plan has 5 elements in its “Habitat” section: integrated planning, critical land protection, land and water restoration and protection, (identification of) sustainable practices, and (provision of) economic incentives for sustainable practices. Further, while the plan does not go into great detail with respect to prairie conservation, it clearly states that “protection of priority land habitats” is a vital practice, and prairies clearly fall here.  The Plan identifies 36 distinct prairie core areas across the western third of the state. Collectively these core landscapes contain 71% of the state’s remaining native prairie. All 4 of the project focus areas directly correlate with one or more of these core areas. 3. Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild and Rare. The primary objective identified in the MN DNR’s plan is to “stabilize and increase populations of “species in greatest conservation need (SGCN)”. In the prairie regions of Minnesota, strategies to achieve this goal include: a. Support incentives that avoid conversion of grasslands into row crops where SGCN occur. b. Use mowing, cutting woody vegetation, prescribed fire, or careful use of herbicides to prevent the invasion of grasslands by trees and shrubs. c. Lengthen the cutting rotations for hay; avoid early-season mowing. d. Use light to moderate, rotational grazing programs to benefit SGCN e. Prevent fragmentation of grassland habitat. f. Avoid soil compaction in areas occupied by mammal SGCN. g. Increase native plant species components. h. Control spread of invasive species to adjacent native-dominated sites. This project proposes to address all but item “f” above. 4. The Nature Conservancy’s Northern Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregional Plan (1998). This plan identifies key conservation targets, geographic emphasis areas, threats to native plant and animal communities, and key strategies to mitigate these threats. The proposal is a solid step in the implementation of this plan. Also, as a step-down from the NTP Ecoregion Plan, the Chapter has completed local level planning (Conservation Action Planning) for smaller geographic units that correspond with the focus areas. Goals within these focus areas are very explicit in identifying conservation targets and actions and are consistent with the activities contained in this proposal. 5. DNR’s Pheasant Plan. This proposal is in full support of the Pheasant Plan goal to add 1.5 million acres of undisturbed grassland to the state by 2025. 6. DNR’s Waterfowl Plan. This proposal is in full support of the state Long-range Duck Recovery Plan to add 2 million acres of habitat to the state by 2025. It also utilizes establishment of complexes, as per the plan, to achieve multiple conservation synergies and benefits. This plan helps fulfill multiple priorities specified by the LSOHC “Prairie Section Vision”, including permanent protection of existing prairies and wetlands, restoration of prairie and wetland habitats, building grassland/wetland complexes in blocks sufficient to increase migratory breeding bird success, enhancement of public lands for game species and other species of conservation need, and protection of watersheds of shallow lakes. Specifically, this proposal addresses “Prairie Section Strategies” 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 directly.

This event will provide an opportunity for residents of Big Lake and many surrounding communities, including all age groups, to get engaged with their neighbors, outdoors, parks and lakes. It will provide an opportunity to not only listen to the great artists, but also to sing and dance. This will be such a fantastic event for families to come out and enjoy together, no matter what financial constraints may exist in a struggling economy. At the end of the season it will be very rewarding to hear from the local communities that this was a wonderful event which brought many families, neighbors and communities together, and they can’t wait to attend next year. Artists will perform at Lakeside Park in Big Lake, Minnesota. This park provides a great atmosphere and will create long-lasting memories. Lakeside Park will provide a stage for the artists to perform on, many mature trees to provide shade and a woodsy atmosphere, picnic tables, grills, shelters, a large grassy area to set up chairs and blankets for people to view the stage, and a large grassy area for audience participation and dancing. Lakeside Park also provides a park where the grass is mowed and always kept green by irrigation, contains permanent restrooms with hot and cold water, a beautifully maintained swimming beach, boat launch and beach area where boats passing by can pull up to shore and listen to the music. Lakeside Park has a large parking area that can park up to 500 vehicles, food stands, and Farmers Market. The outcome of this event has already been successful in 2013. In the spring of 2013 a group of individuals and the City of Big Lake volunteered their time and organized the first Music in the Park event for the summer of 2013. All the costs to hire the musicians to perform were paid for by donations solicited by the volunteers. The first Music in the Park was held Thursday, June 6, 2013 and every Thursday evening thereafter, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. through August 29, 2013 (excluding the 4th of July, 2013). Up through the last performance on August 29, 2013, the feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive and participation has been very successful. Adults, children, and a group of local disabled adults all have been singing and dancing to the music. There even have been visitors from out of the United States enjoying Music in the Park. On average, approximately 600 people each Thursday evening have enjoyed this Music in the Park event in 2013. To experience and see firsthand how the surrounding community has come together at all of these musical performances is very gratifying and is a clear indicator that it is very important that this Music in the Park event must continue. Additionally, as this Music in the Park continues, this will eventually lead into other opportunities for other artisans to display their crafts, i.e. paintings, drawings, pottery, carvings, weavings, etc. In working together, the City of Big Lake and Legacy Foundation of Big Lake want to continue to provide an opportunity for artists and musicians to perform in Big Lake. It is difficult for local businesses to continue their generosity with donations to this Music in the Park event. This is why funding assistance is critical to keep this extremely successful event continuing into the future.Music in the Park will be evaluated by conducting a vehicle count at each performance. We are able to conduct a vehicle count as there is only one entrance/exit to Lakeside Park. Also a head count will be conducted at each performance. In addition to the head count, Legacy Foundation of Big Lake and the City of Big Lake will have a Facebook page for the audience to comment. The City of Big Lake also has a website where people can leave their comments.

With GLORIA, Great River Chorale will seek the following quantitative outcomes: An increase in audience members who are experiencing Great River Chorale and our annual holiday concert for the first time. An increase in audience members primarily attending to see Great River Chorale perform (not a collaborating group) due to broader marketing efforts and publicity, and a break with the traditional collaborating group. An increase in community support for Great River Chorale, evident through program ad sales and concert sponsorships. A minimum of 350 attendees at the new, one time only concert in the new location with the different format (due to the change in traditional collaborative partners).A questionnaire/survey designed to capture feedback about concert programming will be provided to audience members in the concert program. An incentive may be proposed in order to increase participation in the survey. We are keenly interested in knowing how audience members find out about our concerts, so we will ask them to note where they read or heard about GLORIA. We will ask if the experience was affordable compared to other cultural offerings in the area. In addition to the questionnaire, Great River Chorale members will be asked to report the verbal feedback they receive from participants and audience members. We expect to hear whether the audience found the content engaging and inspiring, whether they enjoyed singing along with the carols, and whether they found the addition of brass ensemble, percussion and organ to be a draw to the concert in addition to the sing-alongs, choirs, and narrations. GRC and Cantabile performers will be asked for feedback about their personal artistic growth and the merit of the experience through an electronic questionnaire. All of the directors involved will be interviewed concerning the effectiveness of the collaboration and the artistic and technical growth of their choirs. All of the above measures will be combined into a concert success summary that will be discussed with the artistic director and the board of directors as part of the planning for our next collaborative event. Quantitative evaluations will be based on feedback from survey participants. We have implemented a ticket coding system that allows us to accurately record and divide our attendees into Adult, Senior, Student/Child or Comp tickets. We will use this to gauge our audience, and compare this to last year’s attendance. We anticipate a shuffle of our traditional audience make-up due to the following factors: The concert will be performed ONE DAY ONLY (traditionally 2 days), in a new location, and without our traditional collaborative partner (Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, who will produce their own holiday concert this year). In addition, we are enjoying recent broad community exposure through Classical MPR’s Regional Spotlight, where our recordings were selected four times this past year for airplay. We are also arming our board and membership with the tools they need to go out and sell ad space in our concert program, get concert sponsorships, and sell tickets in advance of the performance. We anticipate that this increase in exposure around the community and our proactive approach to increasing community interest in our group will build a large audience for this concert regardless of the change of location, number of performances, and collaborative partner. We expect a minimum of 350 but hope to far surpass that number. The audience survey questions will ask for specific feedback regarding the new elements of the concert production and our publicity efforts. Great River Chorale members will be asked for specific feedback regarding their participation in publicity and ad sales for the performance in addition to questions about the format and artistic merit.",,,5800,"Other, local or private",9845,,,,"Great River Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Project Grant",,"Great River Chorale presents Gloria, a celebration of the holidays with vibrant singing by Great River Chorale and the Cantabile Girls’ Choir, brass, percussion, and organ accompaniment, meaningful narrations and sing-alongs.

For this particular project, our outcome is to create awareness surrounding Women's Issues by producing a show starring nine actresses, each delivering monologues dealing with unique issues in their lives. We have partnered with the Saint Cloud State University Women's Center to continue the conversation after the curtain falls be hosting a series of round table discussions with local women advocates and experts ranging from resources on campus, through Anna Marie's shelter in the community, and other experts in women's issues. So by inviting the audience to participate in these discussions, we will measure round table participation, total show attendance, and follow-up contact to both Pioneer Place and The Women's Center. Additionally, through cross-promotions, on-site displays and literature, and an event geared at bringing awareness to women's issues, we intend to use this production as a catalyst to spread the word about our local resources - especially as they pertain to the Women's Center - while entertaining our audiences with an amazing production. Personnel from that organization will be on hand for each of the performances and will be given an area to share their information, add attendees to their mailing lists, and share general information regarding the Center. The success of this component of the event will be measured through increased attendance at Women's Center programming, amount of literature distributed, and the number of additions to their mailing and email lists throughout the run of the show. Finally, we will conduct a survey with our audiences to ask them how this experience fulfilled their expectations, what they learned through the production, and whether they think bringing shows like this to Central Minnesota are beneficial for raising awareness to our local resources as well as the entertainment value.There are a number of resources available to use to use in the evaluation process of this production. First, in regards to attendance, we have the technology in our box office software to identify the audience that participated through many demographics including age, income, and location. This data is important to evaluate whether or not we are reaching beyond our traditional season ticket base and reaching a wider audience. Secondly, a survey will be conducted on each performance night. This survey will gather other useful information regarding why people attended this particular production, did we meet their expectations, what was learned as a result of this theatre experience, and how has this outing increased their knowledge regarding our local resources, in particular, the Women's Center. Finally, by partnering with the Saint Cloud State University Women's Center, we want to increase awareness in both the wider community and the Saint Cloud State University community for both Women's Issues, and how theatre can be such a useful tool in stimulating those conversations. By using successful cross-promotions between the Center and Pioneer Place Theatre Company, we hope to raise a leval of awareness surrounding these resources.

Lakeside Park has a large parking area that can park up to 500 vehicles, food stands, and Farmers Market. The outcome of this event has already been successful in 2013. In the spring of 2013 a group of individuals and the City of Big Lake volunteered their time and organized the first Music in the Park event for the summer of 2013. All the costs to hire the musicians to perform were paid for by donations solicited by the volunteers. The first Music in the Park was held Thursday, June 6, 2013 and every Thursday evening thereafter, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. through August 29, 2013 (excluding the 4th of July, 2013). Up through the last performance on August 29, 2013, the feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive and participation has been very successful. Adults, children, and a group of local disabled adults all have been singing and dancing to the music. There even have been visitors from out of the United States enjoying Music in the Park. On average, approximately 600 people each Thursday evening have enjoyed this Music in the Park event in 2013. To experience and see firsthand how the surrounding community has come together at all of these musical performances is very gratifying and is a clear indicator that it is very important that this Music in the Park event must continue. Additionally, as this Music in the Park continues, this will eventually lead into other opportunities for other artisans to display their crafts, i.e. paintings, drawings, pottery, carvings, weavings, etc. In working together, the City of Big Lake and Legacy Foundation of Big Lake want to continue to provide an opportunity for artists and musicians to perform in Big Lake. It is difficult for local businesses to continue their generosity with donations to this Music in the Park event. This is why funding assistance is critical to keep this extremely successful event continuing into the future.Music in the Park will be evaluated by conducting a vehicle count at each performance. We are able to conduct a vehicle count as there is only one entrance/exit to Lakeside Park. Also a head count will be conducted at each performance. In addition to the head count, Legacy Foundation of Big Lake and the City of Big Lake will have a Facebook page for the audience to comment. The City of Big Lake also has a website where people can leave their comments. Audience engagement will be measured informally by audience response.","Music in the Park was evaluated by conducting a vehicle count at each performances, as there is only one entrance/exit to Lakeside Park.

For the Pat Hazell writing residency activity, one major outcome will be that participants are able to use creative writing as a way to help give voice to their stories using writing genres of their choice (humor, creative fiction, nonfiction, etc.). It is not the intent to use this session as a way of fleshing out stories of war, but using the experience and learned skills as ways of encouraging participants to begin truthful writing and artistic expression. Given the output from the Pat Hazell workshop in February, veterans may opt to have their own selections from the writing workshop read aloud by company members of Griffin Theater, which will take place in April. Following the writing session, a feedback session with the staff will be held, as well as a train-the-trainer session with Pat Hazell. The therapists of the VA will also have an expanded skillset in creative writing techniques following the training activities, which will help them implement new writing therapy programs at the VA into the future. Since this is an area of arts therapy without trained staff at the VA, Saint John’s University designed this session with the intent of laying a foundation for sustainability of creative writing and performance. Saint John’s University staff members expect that these activities will also strengthen the relationship with our residency partner, which in turn will facilitate future activities.Saint John’s University is working with residency partner, Saint Cloud VA, to outline specific desired outcomes. Following the residency activities, Saint John’s University will gather feedback responses from workshop facilitators to find out if the activities met the intended goals and/or expectations for each group of veterans served. These will be narrative responses, giving partners a chance to provide more meaningful feedback. Saint John’s University has also set up post-activity meetings between Saint John’s University staff and VA facilitators to discuss outcomes of the residencies and goals for future partnerships. The easiest and most often used measure of success will, of course, be attendance numbers at residency activities and at the public performance. Saint John’s University will track ticket sales and participation numbers at residency events as well as survey the public performance audience to find out if this performance attracted new audiences to each performance as anticipated and if each performance was successful at changing attitudes and/or perceptions of the particular genre.","Saint John’s University presented 3 performances and 9 residency activities with Pat Hazell of the Wonder Bread Years, Take 6, and Griffin Theatre Company’s Letters Home.

This concept has led to some incredible partnerships for this concert--the collaboration of the 34th Infantry Division Red Bull Army Band and the Stearns History Museum. This will be a rare opportunity for Great River Chorale to perform with our own state national guardsmen and women. We expect this will be a powerful experience for all performers and make for an exceptional experience for the audience. The concert experience will be augmented by photographs and historical information in our concert program printed with permission from the Stearns History Museum. Thoughtfully selected with the help of museum staff, these photos and related historical information will depict the St Cloud area during World War II and resident servicemen and their families from that time period. This will provide context for performers and audience members about that era—we will gaze through this window at the pride, the struggles and sacrifices of central Minnesotans who served during World War II and the families they left back home. The power of music will transport our audience back to the 1940’s through thoughtfully chosen World War II era popular songs performed by both choirs and the band. Randall Thompson’s The Testament of Freedom, a beautiful setting of patriotic texts written by Thomas Jefferson will be performed as the concert finale. This musical tribute will at once provide a great artistic challenge for all performers involved, and, as it will be performed en masse with both choirs and the army band, have a profound impact on the audience in the context of this concert. We will also include a medley of all the branches of the military’s songs and recognize veterans from each branch throughout the performance. We expect that the theme of this concert and the popular location (the historic Paramount Theatre in downtown St Cloud) will draw a large audience and many first time attendees to a Great River Chorale concert. We also expect that the theme of the performance will attract veterans and families of veterans. We are already experiencing an increase in community support through the participation of the Stearns History Museum and the 34th Infantry Division Red Bull Army Band, but expect community support to continue through the acquisition of a concert sponsor and concert program ad sales. Great River chorale will underwrite 20 tickets to this concert to be distributed to veterans and their families through the Saint Cloud VA Medical Center. Great River Chorale will also perform an outreach concert at the Saint Cloud VA Medical Center Chapel the week after the performance at the paramount. We know this will be truly appreciated by patients and staff while being a great opportunity for Great River Chorale members to give back to the community through our music. Quantitative outcomes: We expect at least 400 attendees at this concert, but hope that more will attend. We expect at least half of our attendees to be veterans or family members of veterans. We anticipate acquiring at least one sponsor for this concert. Due to the popular location and what we believe to be an attractive theme for the concert, we expect to attract several first time attendees to a Great River Chorale concert. We expect to sell at least 500 dollars of advertising space in our program for this concert.A questionnaire/survey designed to capture feedback about concert programming and our audience will be provided to audience members in the concert program. In addition to the questionnaire, Great River Chorale members will be asked to report the verbal feedback they receive from participants and audience members after the concert. Through these methods we will identify the proportion of veterans and family members of veterans at the concert and the general age breakdown of our audience. We expect to hear whether the audience found the content to be an appropriate musical tribute for the commemoration of D-Day. We will ask whether they felt that the addition of non-musical content in the concert program (historical information and photos) served to give them a better picture and transport them back to a bygone era. We are interested in knowing whether the audience appreciates the addition of non-choral elements in the concert, both the Red Bull band and the program content, and whether they think Great River Chorale should continue to include this variety in our programming. Great River Chorale performers will be asked for feedback about their personal artistic growth and the merit of the experiences of the large performance at the Paramount Theatre and the outreach concert at the VA Medical center. This will be done through an electronic questionnaire. All of the directors involved will be interviewed concerning the effectiveness of the collaboration. We will review ticket sales breakdowns and advertising sales breakdowns to verify that we have met or exceeded our goals. All of the information mentioned above will be compiled into a concert success summary that will be discussed with the artistic director and the board of directors as part of the planning for our next collaborative event.","Great River Chorale presented Salute to Freedom, a concert commemorating the 70th anniversary of D-Day. The experience extended beyond musical performances with an augmented concert program booklet and an exhibit of original WWII artifacts.

There are three specific outcomes of this artistic event series. 1. The first is community awareness and engagement. Sartell has grown from a community of less than 5,500 in 1990 to over 16,000 today, but it has not kept up with trying to make sure all of these new community members have ways to engage with each other and really come together as a community. These concerts will celebrate the addition of the new community park which is the first large outdoor group gathering place in Sartell. The goal is to have 1100 people (1000 adults and 100 youth) attend the series. 2. The second outcome is the collaboration of community members to bring art to the forefront in Sartell. There are several excellent artistic groups in the community but their tendency is to present to their own clearly defined audience. The Music in Pinecone Central Park will bring together many different arts and non-arts organizations to provide engaging and entertaining events which can lead to other community activities. 3. The third designed outcome is the fostering of at least 12 area artists. This community activity and celebration will provide special opportunities for the chosen artists to expose their talents and to earn material support for their endeavors.There are several identified outcome measurements that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the music series: specific attendance counts will be completed for each performance (outcome 1), a listing will be compiled of all volunteers and community groups providing support for the series (outcome 2), listing of exact artists performing (outcome 3), surveys of audience (outcome 1), surveys of volunteers, sponsors and donors (outcome 2), surveys of artists (outcome 3), sample video audience surveys (outcome 1), organizing committee review (outcomes 1,2,3).","Community Awareness and Engagement - attendance numbers did not reach our goal, but community engagement was met as measured by feedback of those in attendance. Collaboration on arts - this outcome was met as measured by the thousands of dollars from the individual and business donors and the partnership between the City and Pinecone Central Park Association.

Title of lands acquired is held by Cass County in fee. ",,"Central MN, especially areas in Cass County from Brainerd/Baxter to Walker, has and will continue to see some of the fastest human population growth in MN. This growth has lead to increased demands from use of this area, its natural resources and related public land base that need to support this growth. Development of these private industrial parcels has resulted in the loss of Jack Pine barrens in the landscape of southern Cass County. Industrial forest tracts held by Potlatch are currently being sold to private developers. These lands often provide access to existing public lands for resource management, are inholdings in otherwise unfragmented landscapes, create contiguous wildlife corridors, and protect larger blocks of land especially useful for stand level management of habitat. Key industrial forest tracts (i.e. inholdings in large public land tracts, management access issues) are being considered or currently being offered for sale by a large industrial forest owner (Potlatch Corp) in this area. Depressed market conditions and a willingness by this industrial forest owner to sell at this time is an opportunity that should be addressed now since it is narrow and may close at any time. The strategy was to acquire land that completes existing habitat corridors. The land acquired has existing forest access roads that have been used for management access for years. The sale of these lands to private individuals has already resulted in the loss of access for resource management on public lands and conversion from forest to agricultural use. The acquired lands were not being pursued for convenience of management. The acquired parcels play a key role in future management plans of the Jack Pine Barrens including the role of fire as a management tool. The loss of these parcels to private ownership would have resulted in lost access and possibly loss of forest land. Management of adjacent public lands would have been limited to frozen ground conditions. This would have eliminated management tools such as site preparation of Jack Pine plantings and aerial seeding as well as prescribed burns for Jack Pine regeneration. This type of management requires year round access. The acquired lands provide year round management access to existing public lands in the Jack Pine barrens landscape. The acquisition of these lands provided permanent year round access for forest management as well as protecting habitat in and around the surrounding areas. The Cass County Forest Resource Management Plan directs the County to acquire land of this nature whenever possible to protect our management access. The Cass County Comprehensive plan requires no new loss of acres of public land and local unit of government input on all purchases and land sales. This project met the requirements of both plans and required stakeholders input as part of the project. The local units of government with private industrial lands to be purchased have provided written consent for the purchase of each parcel.

Freenotes are perfect for musical beginners and experts alike. The sculptural elegance and flowing lines are a fine addition to either a sophisticated landscape or urban outdoor setting. Our broad color palette offers options to awaken the senses with bright primaries, or neutrals that blend subtly into any environment. A Freenotes collection delivers engaging interactive art to complement a wide variety of outdoor settings. They are working sculptures and true percussion instruments. Freenotes allure draws in children and adults alike, to play and to enjoy, creating a full sensory experience. Outcomes for the successful completion of this public art project include increased use of Sturges Park, increased use of the Music Trail, and a great understanding and appreciation of music as an art form.The Rotary Club of Buffalo boasts 70 very active members all committed to service to our community. A weekly tally book will be created and kept with Buffalo Rotary's supplies at Huikko's Event Center (Buffalo, Minnesota). Rotarians will volunteer and sign up for one week and, within that week, visit the Music Trail a minimum of two times. Each visit must be at least 15 minutes long and consist of one weekday and one weekend day. Each Wednesday the Rotarian who volunteered to observe the Music Trail for the prior week will document the date, time, and duration of their visits, as well as the number of people observed using the instruments. There will be room for anecdotal notations as well. In addition, any Rotarian passing by Sturges Park and seeing the Music Trail in use will be encouraged to note the date, time, and number of people observed in the register. Buffalo Rotarians will also be asked to volunteer to tally participants during a minimum of two concerts in the park, the Fishing Klinic for Kids, the Buffalo Triathlon, and prior to the Buffalo Days fireworks. Particular attention will also be paid to the age of the participants, and use of the instruments by any individuals with special needs. A community-wide survey, including participation of different outdoor activities and the Music Path, would be used in August 2015 to determine the use and effectiveness to the community and surrounding neighborhood.","Visual enjoyment of the beautiful instruments as well as musical enjoyment of the wonderful sounds that they make.

This project will protect Lake McCarrons and the Villa Park Wetland System (VPWS) by reducing runoff volumes and the pollutants associated with urban stormwater such as Total Phosphorus (TP), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), heavy metals, and petroleum products among others. Lake McCarrons is currently unimpaired, though excess phosphorus loading threatens water quality, aquatic health, and recreational use. The VPWS drains 753 acres to the northwest of Lake McCarrons. Despite previous phosphorus load reduction efforts, CRWD monitoring data indicates VPWS continues to export phosphorus to Lake McCarrons. The Villa Park Wetland Management Plan recommendations a two phase approach for reducing phosphorus loading from the Villa Park subwatershed. The first recommended action to dredge the wetland cells was completed by CRWD in September 2013. This project will implement the next phase, to reduce volume and pollutant loading to the wetland through Best Management Practices (BMPs), such as bio-retention basins or infiltration systems. In addition to volume reduction through infiltration, the system will be designed to store and reuse a portion of the runoff to irrigate the softball field. Up to 1.3 million gallons of potable water use will be eliminated by providing a storage tank to satisfy the estimated 4 acre-feet irrigation demand over the growing season. Once the reuse tank is full, excess water will then be directed to the infiltration area, eliminating the need to install real time controls to draw the tank down and provide storage prior to a rain event.",,,2014-03-06,2016-12-31,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Forrest,Kelley,"Capitol Region WD","1410 Energy Park Drive, Suite 4","St Paul",MN,55108,651-644-8888,forrest@capitolregionwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,Ramsey,,"Mississippi River - Twin Cities",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/reduce-reuse-revitalize-upper-villa-park-volume-reduction-and-stormwater-reuse-project,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",NO 3211,"Renewal and Rehabilitation of State Park and Recreation Areas",2024,8632257,"M.L. 2023 Regular Session Ch. 40 Art. 3 Sec. 3(a)(3)","$28,572,000 the first year and $25,524,000 the second year are for state parks, recreation areas, and trails to: (1) connect people to the outdoors; (2) acquire land and create opportunities; (3) maintain existing holdings; and (4) improve cooperation by coordinating with partners to implement the 25-year long-range parks and trails legacy plan.

It is a priority for Stearns County to implement projects that have positive impacts on this resource. In a preliminary analysis, a subwatershed area adjacent to Rice Lake was prioritized using already developed modeling information dating back to 2005. With the Rice Lake TMDL implementation plan ongoing, this area is a target for restoration projects and a place to have measurable results. The Stearns County Environmental Services Department (ESD) and Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), through the Comprehensive Water Management Plan, developed a Pollutant Loading Model (PLM) in 2005 for riparian lot development. The PLM determines the amount of sediment and phosphorus discharged from each particular riparian lot into the adjacent lake or river, and also determines the size of Best Management Practice (BMP) needed to mitigate for development. The PLM has calculated pollution inputs and associated BMPs that will mitigate for impervious surface impacts. With the PLM information already in place, and targeted implementation, Rice Lake water quality will improve as part of the TMDL restoration efforts.

Up to $100,000 is for establishing a monitoring and enforcement fund, as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17. A list of proposed acquisitions and permanent conservation easements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"Protected 143 acres (in fee with state PILT liability), protected 526 acres (in easement), and enhanced 396 acres for a total of 1065 acres ",,36400,"TNC, Private Source ",1644600,,,1.15,"The Nature Conservancy/MN Land Trust","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Nature Conservancy acquired in fee 3 properties that added 143 acres to the RJ Doer Memorial Hardwood Forest. The Minnesota Land Trust protected 3 properties with perpetual easements totaling 526 acres. The Nature Conservancy enhanced 396 acres of high priority habitat (bluff prairie and oak savanna) on existing state forest and Scientific and Natural Area lands, and an additional 35 acres on new fee acquisitions.  ",,"This program identified three primary goals: 1) expand the amount of protected land—both public and private—in strategic locations based on existing protected lands and high-quality habitat; 2) maximize the quality of this protected habitat through well-executed restoration and enhancement projects; and 3) increase public access to these unique habitats in this area of the state with relatively little public lands. Using funding provided by this appropriation, we advanced those goals by acquiring fee ownership of key additions to State Forest units, completing conservation easements over private lands with significant biodiversity, and taking on the most difficult initial phase to invasive brush control to restore important bluff prairie and savanna habitat.  Priorities for this program were informed by biodiversity data from the MN Biological Survey (MBS) along with a comprehensive, multi-partner watershed protection plan, the Root River Watershed Landscape Stewardship Plan (LSP). The LSP identified areas where program work would have the most impact for multiple benefits. MBS data identified areas with the greatest significance for biodiversity. From there, local knowledge of TNC and MLT staff, along with our DNR partners guided us to the most important opportunities in the program area.  In this Root River program, MLT strategically concentrated its land protection activities on high priority upland habitats, including bluff prairies, forests, savanna and high quality trout streams. MLT targeted private lands that helped fill gaps in existing protected land framework, contained the highest-quality habitat, and provided the greatest leverage to the state. The Land Trust sought donated easement value in these areas whenever possible but purchased easements that help complete key complexes as necessary. In subsequent grants in Southeast Minnesota, MLT transitioned to a competitive, market-based approach to identifying and securing conservation easements. Opportunities for fee acquisition under this appropriation became limited when the SNA program reversed a previous verbal agreement to accept a large property, the Rollie Tract (now 7 Springs WMA). The SNA program decided after funds had been awarded that the amount of restoration need on the property was not an appropriate fit for their program. The Rollie tract and associated restoration projects have since been completed in partnership with DNR Division of Wildlife using subsequent appropriations from LSOHC. SNA’s decision not to accept new acquisitions left State Forests as the only allowable partner for protection in fee under this appropriation, and it proved difficult to find enough opportunities that met with Division of Forestry’s priorities to utilize the funding leftover from the 7 Springs tract.  Original restoration and enhancement goals included acres that were intended to be acquired during this appropriation, including the 7 Springs Acquisition. When this appropriation was unable to be used on that site, TNC shifted focus away from restoration and towards enhancement projects. Resources were redirected towards much needed enhancement work on bluff prairies threatened by brush and red-cedar encroachment. These habitat types are critical components of the diversity of the region, and are at risk of being overrun by invasive buckthorn and honeysuckle and native red-cedar that have become aggressive in the absence of fire.  These sites were selected based on their positions within larger habitat complexes. TNC prioritized work in areas with several larger bluff prairie sites in proximity to each other with known timber rattlesnake dens, a Species in Greatest Conservation Need. Targeted sites can be maintained as part of a larger habitat complex, with prescribed fire utilized on a landscape scale to manage fire-dependent oak woodlands as well as the prairie and savanna sites. This creates diverse connected habitat that provides the full suite of habitat types used by rare herpetofauna and birds, as well as popular games species like deer and turkey. These connected complexes are also easier to manage at a landscape scale in a disturbance dependent landscape like Southeast MN. In partnership with DNR Forestry, as well as staff from DNR’s non-game program, TNC used a variety of methods to control invading brush and release the native prairie communities. On the most severe sites, contractor or CCM crews cut brush by hand, and burned the slash on site. This is difficult work on steep terrain, and was only conducted during the winter season to minimize the potential for rattlesnake encounters. The difficulty and cost of this work emphasize the need for treating sites before brush encroachment gets too severe, and also to follow up on recently cleared slopes to maximize its effectiveness. Prescribed grazing using goats has proven cost-effective on sites to treat new brush growth, giving grasses and forbs the opportunity to re-colonize areas where thick brush has been removed. On flatter areas, forestry mowers were used to treat undesirable woody vegetation over larger areas to return savanna conditions and facilitate the return of prescribed fire management.

Analysis of the watershed land use indicates that large impervious sites are typically commercial properties (primarily retail), churches, and schools. The District began assessing church sites for retrofit opportunities in 2013 and will continue this effort in 2014. Church congregations tend to be receptive to partnering with watershed districts. Commercial and school property owners, however, are often harder to access, and can also be harder to motivate into partnerships that result in implementation of stormwater management Best Management Practices (BMPs). This project will assist the District in identifying and assessing school sites for retrofit opportunities that will increase the District's ability to meet stormwater volume and nutrient reduction goals. This project will not only identify promising sites for retrofit BMPs on school sites throughout the District, but involve a series of conversations with school administrators about the potential for partnering on project implementation, now and into the future. An important part of this project involves interaction with both public and private schools to introduce the District and its goals, determine the schools' willingness to partner with the District, identify barriers to installation and maintenance of stormwater BMPs, identify ways to reduce or eliminate barriers, and to generally lay the groundwork for the District to effectively work with schools into the future.",,,2014-03-06,2016-12-31,"Clean Water Fund","In Progress",,,Paige,Ahlborg,"Ramsey-Washington Metro WD",,,,,651-792-7964,paige.ahlborg@rwmwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Ramsey, Washington",,"Mississippi River - Twin Cities",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/school-site-assessment-bmp-rettrofit,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",NO 26214,"School Arts Project",2014,1645,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 3"," ACHF Arts Education","Introduce and expose young student to quality theatre and visual art.Pre and post evaluation by students, teachers and chaperones.","Successful arts education project.

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

Of the seven stream locations, two are part of the High Island Creek Watershed, while the remaining five are part of the Rush River Watershed. The lone lake, Lake Washington, falls within the Bevens Creek Watershed. Both the High Island Creek and Rush River watersheds were part of earlier implementation projects, reaching back to the late 1990s, to reduce the amount of nutrients and pollutants from entering into their waterways. Water quality concerns include high levels of total suspended solids, total phosphorus, and nitrate/nitrite-N (NO2+NO3+N). Recently, both watersheds have sought to address the amount of fecal coliform bacteria currently found in the streams and rivers through separate grant programs. Both the High Creek and Rush River have sections listed on 303d Impaired Waters list, as does J.D. 1A (one of the proposed project monitoring locations).

Professor Ahmed Samatar from Macalester College has been guiding the process and consulting with the Minnesota Historical Society. Professor Samatar is a world-renowned international studies professor, specializing in Somali studies. Macalester students are also assisting with the project as paid interns. The interviewers for this project are Ahmed Ismail Yusuf, author of ""Somalis in Minnesota,"" published in 2012 by MNHS Press, and Ibrahim Hirsi, a journalist for MinnPost. Yusuf completed 24 interviews in FY14 and FY15 with men and women representing a broad cross-section of the Somali community in the Twin Cities, including a Somali language expert, a chef, a librarian, healthcare professionals, politicians, academics, journalists, and community activists. In August 2014, Hirsi began conducting interviews with Somalis in outstate and suburban Minnesota. He completed 20 interviews with individuals in Rochester, St. Cloud, Mankato, Fargo-Moorhead, Owatonna, Rosemount, Shakopee, and Eden Prairie. Additional interviews with women who have made a significant impact on the Minnesota Somali community are currently in the planning stage for FY16. When complete, the interviews will be published as books for the MNHS library and education departments for use as primary sources. The interviews will also be added to the MNHS online collection of oral histories (http://collections.mnhs.org/voicesofmn/), and as material on the ""Becoming Minnesotan"" site (http://education.mnhs.org/immigration/), which uses oral history excerpts to help educate students on immigration.

Appropriations from the Clean Water Fund are also used to provide grants to public water supply systems to help them implement their source water protection plans.   ","Source water is untreated water from streams, rivers, lakes, or underground aquifers that is used to provide public drinking water for human consumption.  In Minnesota, the public water systems that use groundwater provide drinking water to 2.9 million Minnesotans.  Some water treatment is necessary and community public water suppliers treat most drinking water before it enters the home.  However, the cost of treatment and the risk to public health can be reduced by protecting source water from contamination.  Benefits of this approach may include: Reducing the need for new wells and related costs Reducing the need for costly water treatment Protecting our drinking water from potential contaminants of emerging concern Source Water Protection (Wellhead Protection) planning is the mechanism used to identify the vulnerabilities of source water, inventory potential contaminants to the aquifers, and develop strategies to manage and mitigate risk.

These communities have community or individual straight pipes which are discharging raw sewage directly into the environment, surfacing sewage, or have sewage contaminating groundwater. Working closely with county staff and local elected officials, two staff will provide a wide range of technical assistance to help these small communities follow the many steps needed to upgrade their sewage treatment systems. These steps include forming community task forces, studying the large number of sewage treatment system options, applying for and pursuing funding, forming sewer districts, preparing ordinances, and developing operation and management plans. With the assistance provided by this project, a goal of six communities will construct new community sewage treatment systems, which will eliminate approximately 152,550 gallons of untreated sewage per day from entering the Lower Mississippi River and Cedar River Basins (55 million gallons per year).

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is using this appropriation to fund the acquisition of approximately 245 acres to add to the state park and trail system, which includes: 50 acres for Great River Bluffs State Park in Winona County; 115 acres for Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area in Crow County; and 80 acres for the Mill Towns State Trail in Rice County",,http://www.lccmr.leg.mn/projects/2013/work_plans/2013_04a.pdf,2013-07-01,2016-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Jennifer,Christie,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Rd","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5579",jennifer.christie@state.mn.us,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Crow Wing, Kandiyohi, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Wabasha",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/state-parks-and-state-trails-land-acquisition,,,, 19380,"Statewide Sediment Network",2012,200000,,,,,,81824,Federal,,,,1.01,"United States Geological Survey (USGS)","Federal Government","The Statewide Sediment Network was established to measure the levels of suspended sediment concentrations and particle size distributions at eight sites across Minnesota to evaluate the amount of sediment carried by rivers.

As of October 2022, the MDA has cumulatively engaged >18,000 ag producers, crop advisors and Local Government Units at >450 education and outreach events. Implemented 677 Nutrient Management Initiative field trials in 2015-2021 Worked with an average of 98 farmers and 27 crop advisers each year on nutrient management trials The MDA maintains 20 active edge-of-field water quality monitoring stations around the state. Edge of Field data has been used for a variety of computer simulation and model calibrations including PTMApp, Adapt-N, SWAT, and the Runoff Risk Advisory Tool. Data are used to support the State’s Watershed Approach and referenced in numerous WRAPs reports. Data from Discovery Farms Minnesota, the Root River Field to Stream Partnership, the Clay County Drainage Site and Red River Valley Drainage Water Management have all been shared with local, state and national partners. Data has been used in peer-reviewed journal articles, large meta-analysis and to engage local farmers and discuss the effectiveness of conservation practices. The Root River Field to Stream Partnership (RRFSP) has helped identify critical areas and worked with farmers to implement conservation practices. This project has helped install and support: Over 105,000 feet of grassed waterways 15 new water and sediment control basins and catchment ponds Rehabilitation of an outdated flood control structure Planting of 370 acres of cover crops Feedlot improvements include an increase in manure storage to reduce manure applications on frozen soil, moving milk house wastewater systems, and abandonment of a feedlot in a high-risk location The highest runoff risk field in one of the study areas (80 acres) was enrolled into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). An additional 50 acres was enrolled in other areas. Over 50% of the highest priority conservation practices were addressed by the end of 2017, about 70% addressed as of end of 2022. $1.8 million in state and federal conservation funds were distributed across three watersheds over a five-year period (60% on vegetative & structural practices, 40% on feedlot & manure waste improvements) In the glacial till headwaters watershed, 64% of the High Risk Area has been treated (after 2021), prior to 2018 only 8% of the High Risk Area had been treated. The RRFSP has leveraged Clean Water Fund dollars with over $5 million in private, state, and federal dollars to support conservation efforts. If CWF dollars from other agencies is excluded, over $3.5 million has been leveraged.                                                                                                                                                                               The Red River Valley Drainage Water Management Project (RRV DWM) is evaluating drainage water management on operating farms as a practice to mitigate flooding and add water quality and quantity benefits. The project has shown that:  Controlled drainage is a viable option in the lake bottom landscape of the Red River Basin During 2017-2020, controlled drainage reduced nitrate-N losses by 22% and reduced drainage volume by over 13% compared to conventional subsurface drainage During 2018-2020, a saturated buffer had capacity to treat 92% of the drainage water from an 11-acre research field and removed over 76% of the nitrate in the drainage water (including water through the bypass) Since 2015, nearly 3,500 people have been engaged in RRV DWM outreach presentations, and field days/events. (Overall: 49 presentations, 19 field days/events, 4 poster displays, 2 trade journal articles, 3 publications/reports, 2 data requests) The RRV DWM has leveraged Clean Water Fund dollars with over $1 million in private, Local Government Unit and federal dollars to support drainage research and outreach.

This includes knowing baseline habitat conditions, observing long-term changes to the baseline, and developing models that can forecast the risks posed and expected impacts of various stressors. In 2009 the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) began an ambitious long-term monitoring effort of 24 “sentinel” lakes throughout the state specifically identified to represent the breath of basic conditions (e.g., water chemistry, habitat conditions, fishery types, surrounding ecosystem types) present in Minnesota’s most common aquatic environments.

Of the amount appropriated to the Board of Water and Soil Resources, $49,900 is for a grant to the Morrison County Soil and Water Conservation District and up to $33,600 is for establishing a monitoring and enforcement fund, as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17.

",,4088000,"ACUB ",3048000,,,,"BWSR; DNR","State Government","Fourteen permanent RIM Easements on 766 acres of high quality, riparian and forested habitat  have been recorded and will provide lasting wildlife habitat. Attempts were made to acquire three tracts in fee title that would have relied on this funding.  The owner of one tract rejected an offer of the certified appraised value.  Acquisition attempts on the other two tracts were discontinued when it became apparent that the planned use of the land as DNR Wildlife Management Area would be incompatible with local government plans for future municipal growth. Dollars budget for fee title acquisition will be returned to the Outdoor Heritage Fund. Over the life of the ACUB program the Department of Defense has contributed over $30M towards easement acquisition. For this particular phase over $4M in federal funding was leveraged making a fed:state ratio of 2.7:1.  ",,"The purpose of this initiative was to protect fish, migratory birds, big game, and oak habitat along the Crow Wing, Gull, Nokasippi, and Mississippi Rivers via fee title acquisitions and conservation easements. These river corridors are also very vulnerable to habitat degradation due to the potential for development. The Camp Ripley military training center is located immediately adjacent to the confluence of the Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers. Camp Ripley contains 19 miles of Mississippi River frontage and 8 miles of Crow Wing River frontage that provide habitat for many species including 45 Species of Greatest Conservation Need. This project will build upon existing Camp Ripley partnership success with the Army Compatible Use Buffer program (ACUB). This federal program provides funds to protect adjacent lands from encroaching development and in the process protects the training center, water quality and wildlife habitat. As of this writing the ACUB program has protected over 25,000 acres through conservation easements and fee title including 204 RIM easements totaling over 22,000 acres. In 2013 alone BWSR received $4,088,000 in from National Guard Bureau and Department of Army ACUB funds for easement acquisition. As of this writing, over the life of the ACUB program, over $33,000,000 in from National Guard Bureau and Department of Army funds have been directed to BWSR for easement acquisition.       This project utilized Camp Ripley’s partnerships with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR),The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Morrison Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to solicit applications and to score and rank applications.The partnership uses a variety of methods to generate landowner interest and solicit applications including; mailings, open houses, direct contact with landowners and special Camp Ripley events. Applications are sorted into agricultural easements (Non-OHF) and riparian and forested lands easements (OHF). They are then scored and ranked against a GIS based system that ranks parcels based upon a number of factors including habitat quality and proximity to Camp Ripley. Applications are then funded in priority order from appropriate funding sources until all funds are used up. The application process is continuous and there is generally a considerable backlog of interested landowners at any specific point in time. Once a funding decision has been made Morrison SWCD and BWSR work together to accomplish the standard RIM easement acquisition process and the easement becomes part of the RIM portfolio.  Although there were no fee title projects that came to fruition during this appropriation the general process is that DNR, with the support of partners, negotiates directly with landowners that are in the approved boundaries for Wildlife Management Areas. Standard DNR fee title acquisition processes are followed.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.","The purpose of this grant is to expand the American Indian Studies curriculum offerings to include greater language practice and introduce theories of language development and revitalization to support more college students to fluency in language and culture. Develop advanced Ojibwe language curriculum to allow intermediate Anishinaabe speakers to become more advanced and fluent in the language at UMM. Support a pre-doctoral level fellow to develop curriculum and begin to offer Beginning Dakota I and II at UMM. Create a structure to support the development of leaders within the higher education academy who are grounded in Dakota and Anishinaabe values and prepared to lead college-level language revitalization efforts in partnership with the area tribal communities.

Their destruction and deterioration threaten the high quality of life in Ramsey County and could require expensive restoration and remediation practices to repair. The Ramsey Conservation District used GIS technology and modeling systems to identify the most cost-effective catchments to install Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce Total Phosphorus (TP) levels in nutrient-impaired Wakefield Lake.

The DNR River Ecologist will continue comparing GIS to field classifications of stream types and valley types. When the work is done it will be written up in a technical paper. Once the methods have been accepted as statistically valid staff will work on using the new method to create a GIS layer of stream classifications. The initial GIS layer for stream and valley classifications will likely be limited by location of stream comparison reaches (field and GIS) with plans to expand this layer statewide in the future. ","In FY16 Minnesota Information Technology (MNIT) staff at the DNR continued stewardship of Minnesota’s watershed boundary and LiDAR (light detection and ranging) data holdings. Ongoing LiDAR data management and coordination continued in support of data accessibility for Minnesota. Staff collaborated with the Minnesota Board of Water & Soil Resources (BWSR) toward systematic statewide hydro-modification of LiDAR digital elevation models (DEMs). Hydro-modified DEMs are needed to run models that help local governments prioritize and target watershed management projects. Four technical papers were written and five projects were developed in support of this work including a study to compare the results of different degrees degree of hydro-modification. All of this information will help BWSR support data development for local governments engaged in the One Watershed One Plan (1W1P) program. Other key work included continued collaboration with the US Geological Survey along Minnesota’s northern boundary to harmonize US and Canadian watershed datasets. This partnership has led to better information for watershed modeling and targeting of locations for best management practices. In FY16 the DNR river ecologist rebuilt a previously developed geographic information system (GIS) tool to help staff classify stream valley types. The new version enables staff to incorporate regionally specific data which will make the tool work better across Minnesota’s many varying landscapes. Improvements were also made in the processing speed and ease of use of the tool. Staff also began work to ensure the tool is statistically valid and began writing a technical paper about the tool.",,,,231928,,,2.0,,,"This project delineates and maps watersheds (drainage areas) of lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands for the state of Minnesota and provides watershed maps in digital form for use in geographic information systems.

This program exceeded by 862 acres the amount proposed for the grant. Total leverage through donated easements by landowners is estimated at $1,209,700, all in excess of that proposed.",,"Of all of Minnesota’s wildlife habitat types, wetlands and shallow lakes provide the essential backbone for the survival of waterfowl and other important wildlife species. In fact, more than 50% of the amphibians and birds listed in Minnesota’s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy as species in greatest conservation need (SGCN) use wetlands during their life cycle.  Most of the plans developed to protect Minnesota’s wildlife—including Minnesota’s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy, the Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan, Minnesota Prairie Plan and the Long Range Duck Recovery Plan—cite the protection and restoration the state’s remaining wetlands as one of the top priorities to achieve the State’s conservation goals.  Moreover, these plans cite the use of conservation easements on private lands as one of the primary strategies to protect important wetland and shallow lake habitat. In this first phase of its Wetland Habitat Protection Program, the Land Trust concentrated its activities toward protecting through conservation easements the important wetland and associated upland habitats within its Edge of the Prairie Critical Landscape. This landscape, which extends from Meeker County northwest to Becker County, is located at the edge of the once vast prairies of western Minnesota as they transition to the woods and forests that dominate the eastern portion of the State.  The prairie pothole lakes and associated wetlands within this landscape form the backbone of one of the continent’s most important flyways for migratory waterfowl. Through this grant, the Land Trust protected 1,962 acres of high priority wetland and associated upland habitats and nearly 15 miles of shoreland along lakes, streams and rivers by acquiring conservation easements from willing landowners. This exceeded the proposed target output by 862 acres. The program targeted projects that helped fill gaps in existing public ownership, contained the highest-quality habitat, and provided the greatest leverage to the state. The Land Trust accepted three fully donated easements, negotiated bargain sale purchases for an additional ten easements, and purchased one at full appraised value. Total leverage from donated value of the easements is placed at $1,209,705, all in excess of that proposed. This value was substantiated in all fourteen easements through appraisals. The success of the program in producing high levels of donated value was due in part to both the high levels of interest among landowners in participating in the program, and the use of a novel ranking system and market-based approach for purchasing conservation easements. This market-based approach was developed through the Land Trust's work with St. John’s University in the Avon Hills.  Under this system, potential parcels for easement purchase were prioritized based on their value to wetland protection, proximity to other protected parcels, MCBS data and other appropriate criteria while allowing targeted landowners to select the price necessary for them to protect their property with an easement. Those properties with the best ratio of environmental benefits to easement cost became the highest priority for acquisition.  Through this grant, the Land Trust has significantly built on its past 15 years of conservation impact in protecting important wetland complexes in this landscape. This work continues through Phase 2 of this program, with funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund to continue our work in building on the successes of this initial phase, and to secure an additional 750 acres of wetland habitat in west-central Minnesota.

Total expenditure was $1,355,000 which was 17% lower than originally budgeted. No fee-title land acquisition opportunities on wild rice lakes that fit within DNR and other government agency land plans were available during this time period thus DU did not expend any of the $100,000 budgeted for fee-title acquisition. Instead the program focused on RIM easements.  ","    ","The second phase of Wild Rice Shoreland Protection was intended to protect additional wild rice shoreland and continue the success of Phase I. BWSR, DU, DNR, SWCDs and other partners (see below) worked closely together to continue protection of vulnerable and ecologically valuable wild rice lake shorelands and grow the program which has led to subsequent phases III-V with Phase VI proposed for ML19 funding. Wild rice shoreland encompasses a complex of shallow lakes, rivers, and shallow bays of deeper lakes that support rice and provide some of the most important habitat for wetland-dependent wildlife species in Minnesota. Wild rice habitat is especially important to Minnesota’s migrating and breeding waterfowl and provides Minnesotans with unique recreation opportunities: hunting waterfowl and harvesting the rice itself for food.  Historically, wild rice occurred throughout Minnesota and extended into northern Iowa. Wild rice has since been extirpated from most of its southern range due to human impacts. Today, the heart of the states wild rice acreage falls within this project work area comprised of eight counties Aitkin, Carlton, Cass, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, St. Louis, and Wadena. These counties also account for 70% of harvesting trips for state licensed harvesters. This wild rice shoreland complex exists primarily in the state's Forest Section and remains intact with good water quality, but it is subject to intense development pressure that, if allowed, will degrade the resource. Recent well-documented population and development trends pose a serious threat to wild rice habitat in the Northern Forest Section. This population and development boom has reduced the availability of developable shoreline on recreational lakes, resulting in shallow lakes, rivers, and shallow bays containing wild rice being increasingly targeted for shoreline development. Shallow lakes and rivers in the forest are very susceptible to the impacts of shoreline development. The scoring and ranking process placed a strong emphasis on protecting the most vulnerable shorelines that were offered. Tracts were selected based on the degree they help permanently protect all the land around a given wild rice water body. Through the work of six SWCD offices, BWSR acquired 26  RIM shoreland easements from wild rice lake and river shoreline landowners. The BWSR/SWCD easements were acquired using the standard RIM process. Future monitoring and enforcement will be conducted via the standard RIM monitoring process. Although no fee-title acquisitions were completed during this phase the work of the partners paid off in subsequent phases as groundwork from this phase resulted in fee-title acquisition in Phase 3.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Dan,Steward,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources","1601 Minnesota Drive ",Brainerd,MN,56401,"(218) 828-2598",dan.steward@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Aitkin, Carlton, Cass, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, St. Louis, Wadena","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/wild-rice-shoreland-protection,,,, 28022,"Wild Rice River Restoration Project",2014,100938,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Regular Session chapter 137","Projects and Practices 2014","Calculation based on TMDL plan","This project resulted in estimated reductions of 1,425 lb. of phosphorus per year, 929 tons of sediment per year, and 926 fewer tons of soil lost annually.

ABC completed habitat enhancement projects with 10 MN Department of Natural Resources Area Wildlife Offices and Forestry Departments, 6 MN County Land Departments, 2 USFWS National Wildlife Refuges, the Chippewa National Forest, and the Red Lake Band of Chippewa. Projects were completed in 12 MN counties.",,"Using Minnesota Outdoor Heritage Fund dollars allocated in this grant, ABC created it's Minnesota Public Lands Program to focus on completing targeted young forest and brushland (also termed early successional) habitat projects on County, State, Federal, and Tribal lands with the assistance of associated public agencies. These enhancement projects were implemented using science-based Golden-winged Warbler Best Management Practices to create breeding habitat for the golden-winged warbler, American woodcock, and associated species in deciduous forests of northern MN. Habitat treatments concentrated on non-commercial habitat types, the majority of which fell in lowland or upland brush stands dominated by alder, willow, and hazel within or adjacent to deciduous forest stands. Brush stands that were treated contained a mix of scattered and clumped hardwood tree species that were retained as residual structure along with scattered brush clumps. Early successional habitat project sites that have reached the stage where they require cutting treatments contain very old and dense brush dominated by upland and lowland brush species measuring 1-5” diameter per stem in dense clumps that may contain 10+ stems at the base of the clump and often stand 10-20ft tall within a deciduous forest matrix. In the absence of natural disturbance such as low severity fire, these sites have become dominated by a closed canopy of brush species due to their extensive size and age (see attached pretreatment images), resulting in a greatly reduced component of understory forb species and also a reduced component of seedling and sapling tree regeneration. These closed brush canopies limit or remove the ability of ground nesting avian species such as the golden-winged warbler to occupy these sites for the purposes of nesting and brood rearing. On each project site, this brush component was thinned and, when present, all singly spaced or patches of mature tree species were retained onsite to provide residual structural diversity. Most project sites were located in non-commercial brushland/forest interfaces, though a small number of projects were completed in forested covertypes to create habitat openings and multi-aged stands. The latter sites were completed using similar methodology as those described in brushland habitats in terms of the design of the project site and the retention of residual internal vegetation. Once complete, project sites have also been identified as producing high quality habitat for a suite of additional non-game and game species including ruffed grouse, sedge wren, veery, Nashville warbler, chestnut-sided warbler, rose-breasted grosbeak, bobcat, snowshoe hare, white-tailed deer, and elk (where they occur on the landscape). A great deal of initial effort went into the process of finding new public lands partners who had the need within their management jurisdictions to complete the habitat enhancement projects described above. However, it quickly became apparent that public lands agencies indeed had a tremendous interest and willingness to complete habitat projects of this type and the number of project partners has grown every year since the inception this program. On multiple occasions and with a variety of different area natural resource managers (esp. within state and federal agencies) it was expressed that they had projects in deciduous forest brushland habitats that they had not had the funding to complete in many years. As such, it became apparent that ABC (with the assistance of the MN OHF) was filling a needed role within the state. The ABC public lands manager worked with these public agency in every phase of the project planning and implementation process. It is important to note that ABC has partnered with Cornell University Lab of Ornothology and Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Research Institute to complete songbird and American woodcock monitoring on sites completed using this grant. These results will help identify post treatment site conditions that maximized the benefit to our target species and associated avian species. Through this monitoring, it is our hope to continue to refine our management techniques to continue to provide the best management possible on completed project sites. The greatest challenge of this program was the level of knowledge needed by all partner natural resources managers concerning target post treatment habitat conditions and an equal need to convey those management objectives to the associated contractors. As such, a very understated aspect of this project was the need to educate a wide array project partners. Often similar work that was completed in these habitat types before the creation of this program focused on cutting most of the brush on any given project site. This usually meant that most saplings of any tree species were also cut with very little internal structure remaining. What makes this program unique is the project design focus to retain diverse internal structure in the form of scattered trees, clumps, and legacy patches that results in post treatment conditions that benefits a wider range of young forest species and allows the interior of larger sites (>10 acres) to be occupied by a higher density of avian species requiring this dynamic structure as well as openings on the forest floor for nesting and brood rearing. With projects with various partner agencies often separated by hundreds of miles, high quality natural resource managers and contractors that I could work with directly on the ground and would assist overseeing projects when I needed to visit other sites across the state was crucial to the success of this project. Thankfully, the foresters and biologists from partner agencies and the contractors ABC has now worked with over the past 4 years accepted the challenge and the associated learning curve and have become very proficient at interpreting the often unique ecological and biological features of our project sites as they relate to the implementation of the BMPs. With their help, ABC continues to identify and complete 500-1000 acres of early successional habitat each year given sufficient winter cutting conditions. An additional challenge associated with the implementation of habitat projects located in lowland covertypes that require frozen ground conditions for cutting equipment to be used safely, was the extremely warm winters experienced by northern Minnesota over the past two years. Winters with high average temperatures and warm periods rising above freezing can limit the depth of ground frost on certain sites. This can be exacerbated when warm temperatures are followed by deep snows that provide insulation to the ground and reduce the ability of the ground to freeze once the temperature again falls below 32 degrees. During the winter project season, ABC and our agency partners were very diligent to assess frost depth to make sure that cutting equipment used on those sites did not risk damaging the soil resource. When it was not sufficiently frozen, projects were delayed until the frost depth became safe for project operations.

These grasslands that wildlife depends on provide both habitat as well as a number of ecosystem services.  This ecosystem has the potential to remove and store tons of carbon dioxide per acre per year, mitigating climate change.  Grasslands also store water, reducing erosion and downstream flooding.   The wildflowers in these areas provide habitat for a diversity of pollinators that can pollinate nearby agricultural lands.The goal of this project is to rehabilitate the mown, dysfunctional parking lot berms at the Zoo site to represent one of the three biomes that covered pre-settlement Minnesota; encourage Zoo guests to interact with the Prairie; and educate visitors about this unique ecosystem.",,"Program at a Glance: Zoo Site Habitat and Landscape Projects: •BioDiscovery Project •Prairie Restoration ",,,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Mary,Robison,"Minnesota Zoological Garden","13000 Zoo Boulevard","Apple Valley",MN,55124,9524319469,mary.robison@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Zoological Board","BioDiscovery Project, Prairie Restoration ",,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/zoo-site-habitat-and-landscape,,,, 23895,"Zumbro River Watershed Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) Modeling Phase 2",2014,75027,,,"1.
