The inventory will include the minimum data required in the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources ?Stream Crossing Basic Assessment Form? to be consistent with inventory work being done statewide and in other CWF grant projects such as the Lake County culvert inventory. Additional attributes will be collected as requested by collaborating groups. Data will be available through the Minnesota Geospatial Commons and through a web-based map on the county website. Surveys will be completed by SWCD staff and partnering agencies in a strategic fashion to efficiently collect data. A culvert inventory is critical to understanding where problematic culverts are located throughout the watershed, the impacts they are having to water resources and which culverts have the highest priority for replacement. While the watersheds in northeast Minnesota contain some of the least-polluted waters in the state, development and climate change pose an increased threat to aquatic resources if culverts are not installed, retrofitted, or replaced properly. Stream crossings represent points where the natural environment intersects the built environment. Incorrectly sized and placed culverts have a multitude of negative environmental and structural impacts including road erosion, unsafe road crossings, catastrophic failures during heavy rain events, back watering, scour pools, barriers to aquatic organisms, erosion and sedimentation into waterways, and degraded aquatic habitats. The data provided by this inventory is needed to inform decisions on culvert replacement and prioritization by considering the impacts to water quality, stream stability, aquatic organism habitat and passage, road stability, and public safety. This inventory will accelerate the implementation of on-the-ground water quality projects as local agencies will have the data and they need for a prioritized method of culvert replacement to begin.

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

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

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

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

We enhanced shoreline habitat on 524 acres of riparian land, and instream habitat on 3.1 miles of trout streams and 0.5 miles of warmwater rivers. ",,"Final Report: http://www.lsohc.leg.mn/FY2012/accomp_plan/5a.pdf Protection of streams through conservation easements was enabled by the hiring of two easement specialists to work on acquisition. One position was funded through OHF, while the other leveraged funds from a Great Lakes Restoration grant. These positions contacted riparian landowners in targeted locations we prioritized for additional easement protection. We chose to target streams with high-quality habitat and fish populations, and along those streams we prioritized parcels that were adjacent to existing easements or protected public land, as well as landowners who owned parcels with longer lengths of stream. We also prioritized parcels with important features such as springs that are important to maintaining the cold water required by trout. All easements also needed to be accessible to the angling public, either from a public road, adjacent easement, or access path. Contacts with landowners were very fruitful; we found more potential parcels that we had money available for easements. This allowed us to prioritize the best parcels for easement purchase based on our criteria, but also created a list of potential parcels for acquisition using other funding sources, including OHF rounds from future years. We protected a total of 21.3 miles of trout streams using easements. One lakeshore parcel was also protected via conservation easement using this appropriation. The landowners (a scout camp) wanted the parcel protected, but also wanted to continue their passive use of the parcel. A conservation easement was a better tool than fee title acquisition in this case, which allowed us to protect 200 acres along 1.3 miles of lakeshore. The total amount of lake and stream shore acres protected by easements was just short of our goal (585 vs. 609), but we believe in the case of lake and stream riparian protection the length of shoreline is the more important measure. Fee title acquisition protected a total of 7.4 miles of lakeshore (504 acres) under this appropriation. We selected parcels for acquisition where the ratio of lakeshore to total acres was high in order to maximize riparian area protected, and where we protected critical and sensitive habitat such as emergent vegetation and natural shorelines that are critical for aquatic fish and wildlife. We were able to exceed our goal for acres protected in fee (504 vs. 427), in part due to over $550,000 in landowner donations of value that leveraged OHF money. We completed four stream habitat projects: two were on trout streams (Eagle and Rush Creeks), and two were on a warmwater rivers (Buffalo and Pomme de Terre Rivers). Eagle Creek had been degraded by years of cattle grazing, along with numerous beaver dams that had created a wide, shallow stream uninhabited by trout, unlike downstream reaches with better habitat. Using a combination of coir logs, rootwads and other woody debris, and grading and revegetating of the streambanks, the stream was narrowed to less than half of its former width. This created a much deeper stream channel with better habitat for fish, as well as the ability for the stream to better move the over-abundance of sand that comprised the stream bottom. Trout are now found in the restored half-mile of stream. The local watershed district contributed matching funds that helped to complete the project. Rush Creek habitat work has enhanced 2.5 miles of this trout stream. Steep eroding banks have been graded back, creating a floodplain that reduces the erosive energy of the stream during high water. Habitat structures of wood and rock have been placed in strategic locations on outside bends, providing stability to streambanks as well as cover for fish. All riparian areas have been seeded with a native mix of deep-rooted prairie grasses and forbs, providing enhanced stability for streambanks and habitat for terrestrial wildlife. Restoration of a reach of the Buffalo River was done on property owned by the City of Hawley. A formerly straightened reach of the river, the stream had eroding banks and lacked diverse depths, velocities, and cover required by most fish species. 2,700 feet of new meandering stream channel was constructed to restore the stream to a more natural condition, and outside bends were stabilized with woody material buried into the banks which not only provides stability while planted native vegetation becomes established, but also provides habitat for fish and aquatic insects. Enhancement work on the Pomme de Terre River was done on a relatively small area, but was critical to habitat in that reach. Due to bank erosion, the stream was in the process of cutting around a riffle that controls the grade of the streambed in that reach. That could have eventually lead to a downcutting of the stream channel that would have sent tons of sediment downstream. Instead, the streambank was stabilized using rootwads, and additional gravel and cobbles were added to the riffle to enhance its stability, as well as local habitat.",2011-07-20,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brian,Nerbonne,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5205,brian.nerbonne@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Blue Earth, Cass, Chisago, Clay, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Houston, Hubbard, Itasca, Kandiyohi, Lake, Morrison, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Redwood, Rice, Scott, St. Louis, Swift, Wabasha, Winona","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-aquatic-management-area-habitat-program-phase-3,,,,

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

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

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

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

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and their partners have been employing this strategy for over 50 years through the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program (SWAP). Additionally, hunting and fishing stakeholders are very interested in increasing public access.

","Loss of wetland and grassland habitat has contributed tot he decline of native populations of flora and fauna, negatively impacted water quality, groundwater recharge and natural flood cycles. To reverse this trend, PF works to permanently protect and restore these wetland-grassland complexes. This eighth phase of the WMA acceleration program acquired and restored a total of 1,182.25 acres of grasslands and wetland habitat as permanently protected WMA's. Due to our ability to partner with other conservation groups and agencies such as the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, we are able to bring leverage to the program and far exceed the goals of this phase. Pheasants Forever and MN DNR staff collaborated to generate a list of parcels with landowners who had the desire to sell. The parcel's ecological impact was evaluated using landscape level planning tools such USFWS Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET), The MN Prairie Conservation Plan and The Pheasant Action Plan among others. By utilizing these tools, we were able to focus efforts in areas where acquisitions and restorations will make the greatest impact on the landscape and thus these additional acres of WMA are very beneficial to wildlife and public recreation.

All acquisitions will occur within the prairie, prairie/forest transition, and metro planning regions. These areas have seen the greatest decline in upland and wetland habitats.","Pressures from development, industry, and agriculture continue to mount on wildlife habitat within the farmland regions of Minnesota. Despite our collective investments in conservation, many of the agricultural counties in Minnesota are continuing to experience a net loss of wildlife habitat. This unfortunate reality is exacerbated by the conversion of lands expiring out of CRP. In the next five years, Minnesota's agricultural landscape is set to experience a loss of 549,185 acres due to expiration out of CRP. In 2018 alone MN will lose 201,294 acres of CRP that are set to expire. This equates to roughly a 20% loss of our grassland habitat necessary for pheasants, ducks, and the suite of grassland species that call Minnesota home. Now, more than ever, is the time to accelerate our investments in permanently protected high-quality habitat complexes that will protect, sustain, and increase Minnesota’s wildlife populations. Providing public habitat for Minnesotans to hunt, trap, fish and otherwise recreate in the outdoors are urgent needs for Minnesota's growing citizenry. Access to the outdoors is fundamental to ensuring Minnesota’s outdoor heritage is passed on to future generations.PF and our partners will protect (fee acquisition from willing sellers) 1,073 acres of high priority grassland (native prairie if available), wetland, and wildlife habitat as WMAs throughout the pheasant range of Minnesota. PF is striving to protect strategic tracts that build landscape level habitat complexes. Many of the potential projects are additions to existing WMAs 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 are 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, wellhead protection, riparian protection, local community support, etc.)? 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.

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

The Board will continue to embrace edgy play choices artistically and financially. Measuring acting growth is subjective, but the Players will attempt it using criteria of extended physical fluidity and versatility, greater vocal variety and improved timing. We always do an after action discussion with designers and crews to get their evaluations of the production's outcomes. For this show we'll also ask that a questionnaire be returned to the producer. At our regular Q and As, we'll ask pointed raise-your-hands questions about the audience's reaction to the play as parable, the effect of costumes and acting style, and are they likely to attend more edgy plays. Our Board reviews the play's impact artistically and financially. We measure audience size, attendees' zipcodes, profit/loss.","Many of the outcomes are only measurable subjectively, so the director used the opinions of several knowledgeable theatre people in the crews and from the audience, as well as her own; written surveys, and pointed audience responses to questions asked after three of the shows.

They worked at it before the costumes arrived, but flourished once they were comfortable in them and saw what they looked like in them. DESIGNERS: Two of the ""designers"" (set and music director) had their visions fulfilled fairly well, as a result of knowing what the costumed look of the show would be. Certainly they grew in their art by seeing what worked and what did not as set pieces were built and incidental music and songs were integrated into the show. AUDIENCES: Some told us outright that the broad acting style took a few minutes to get used to, but then they appreciated that the ""clowning"", as one person called it, really fit to make the Fascists look foolish. There was no question about the power of the final moment, when the Ui/Hitler character does the Nazi salute, and the rest of the cast of 17 shouts, ""Heil."" It looked like 1930s Chicago/Germany. The house was silent for five long seconds before the blackout. We said that audiences would continue to appreciate our ""edgy"" plays, and they raised their hands to say they would. BOARD: They too stand and behind and support well-produced ""edgy"" plays for our community theatre group. And most objectively: Our audiences grew in size for each dress rehearsal and performance. After bills were paid, we had $1,200 to add to the match for our next production's grant application. And while we were, unfortunately, unable to get volunteers to capture zip codes, everyone working on the show (especially front of house), said that lots of new people attended.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",6131,"Other,local or private",8283,300,"Marcie Lindgren, Patricia Feld, Karen Ferlaak, Sandra LeBlanc-Boland, Kathy Champoux, John Hanson, Kim Powell, Dan King, Lynn Nachbar, Paul Kraska, Larry Salmela",,"Edge Center for the Arts","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project Grant",,"Costume rental for a production of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.

Also, parking volunteers will work together to get a real audience count including counting adults and kids (under 18) separately. 2 and 3) Measuring visitor experience including awareness of pottery types and techniques: Our Survey Administrator is responsible for going around the festival to capture feedback. We created a quick worksheet to capture the responses and then every few hours the volunteer adds all the answers into the electronic survey for easy tabulation and analysis. 4) Measuring impact on exhibiting potters: Over the last three years, we gathered real sales and experience results from all participating artists. We will be able to use this data as a reference point to ensure that participating potters have increased sales year-over-year. 5) Diversify and Build Funding: In 2017, we held our first ever Preview Party to engage individual supporters, artists, sponsors, and funders in a dedicated fundraiser to further diversify and strengthen our funding sources. We plan to hold another one in 2018. We'll also strive to identify new institutional and corporate funding sources.","Measuring attendance: We handed out more than 2,100 stickers. Our 2018 audience engagement survey showed that 36% come from the Hutchinson and surrounding area (including Litchfield and Dassel), 24% came from the Twin Cities Metro Area, 7% came from Western Suburbs of the Twin Cities, 27% came from other areas of Minnesota and the remaining 6% came from out of state. Measuring visitor experience: According to our evaluation tool, the number one reason (36%) that people came to the festival was because they were invited by a friend. And the quality of the art came in second at 34%. When asked what they enjoyed most about the festival 68% says the pottery and meeting the artists, 7% said location, 17% said that they liked the interactive opportunities like the kid’s tent, the Olympics, and the demonstrations. And another 7% couldn't choose and like ""everything."" When it came to improvements, 56% said they had nothing they would change, the other suggestions were to provide more food options (16%) and more shade (8%). Other ideas shared included adding more interactive opportunities, paving the road, adding more potters, and having some sort of music. This was our third year collecting demographics. Key numbers of those surveyed were: 65% female compared to 70% female in 2017, 97% of were older than 18, and 96% of those surveyed were Caucasian. One note, we've noticed that our survey administrator plays a key role in who they interview. In 2018 we had intended to have two survey administrators on both days, unfortunately, due to illness we only had one survey administrator on Sunday, the shorter day. We still believe that the age and background of the administrator plays a role in demographics. In 2019, we intend to make some changes to the survey tool to encourage a larger variety of people to participate. Measuring impact on exhibiting potters: We were also able to survey the artists and find out their average sales, their personal impressions, and we were able to determine if they’d return. Of the potters in attendance in 2018, 94% say they plan to reapply in 2019 and if selected would attend (primary reasons for not returning include scheduling conflicts and distance from home), this was an increase from 91% in 2018. 87% of the artists also reported that the event met or exceeded their expectations. This year's average sales were $1,704 for a total of $53,000 in direct artist revenue, a 7% increase over 2017. The potters’ feedback is that this is one of their favorite events of the year because most traditional art shows don’t draw pottery focused audiences and tend to not foster opportunities for the potters to collaborate and share techniques. One of the feedback themes was how many new attendees there were and how they thought that the advertising was getting better each year.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",7729,"Other,local or private",12729,,"Betsy Price, Mandy Baldry, Morgan Baum, Kerry Brooks, Ernest Miller, Nate Saunders",,"Minnesota Pottery Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"2018 Minnesota Pottery Festival.",2018-05-15,2018-10-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Betsy,Price,"Minnesota Pottery Festival","17614 240th St",Hutchinson,MN,55350,"(320) 587-2599 ",info@mnpotteryfestival.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"McLeod, Meeker, Sibley, Renville, Kandiyohi, Wright, Carver, Hennepin, Scott, Nicollet",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-182,"Cheri Buzzeo: theatre, arts admin; Mary Gillespie: visual art, chamber; Dusan Milanovic, theatre; Kaia Nowatzki: visual art; Tom Wirt: visual art, arts/community boards; Brett Lehman: music, SMAC Board; Janet Olney: visual art, arts admin, SMAC Board.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Pam Blake: retired art educator, visual artist, Tyler Arts Council, Lincoln County Art Fair, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.

Cultural Awareness: awareness of cultural ritual and moirees (including clothing), communication, storytelling structure. Community: number of new participants, geographical radius of community member involvement, number of attendees of school shows and public performances. Student performance Ability: the director will utilize analytic rubrics for vocal projection/diction/ensemble work converted into easily comprehensible questions for the students to rate their ability at the beginning, mid-rehearsal and final performance. These assessments will be built into the rehearsal process. Understanding of story structure and physicality will be measured utilizing a simple checklist and will be embedded into rehearsal. Cultural Awareness: students will take a pre and post-survey on the cultural aspects of the play to measure growth in awareness and knowledge.

In addition, GMP is in the process of identifying the best app to track volunteer hours which will collect geographic statistics as well.

The teacher provides the mechanical technique and fosters an environment where the child's individual spirit is free to express and develop itself. Setting up a rubric will help see visible signs of attempting each step. At the end of the program in May, we will ask the parents to evaluate if they believe their students' test scores in school have been elevated and if they believe the art classes helped improve their overall test scores in all subjects.The artistic goal of the project is to introduce participants to new art forms and increase their level of proficiency in the subject. Participants should enjoy the arts experience and leave the class feeling that they have a greater understanding of the art discipline. To evaluate success in meeting this goal, Hutchinson Center for the Arts will ask students to fill out exit surveys at the end of each class to gauge effectiveness of the class, determine future needs for arts education, and provide direction for future programs.","The Hutchinson Center for the Arts had just moved into its larger facility in the fall of 2012, with a new Executive Director. This was the first educational program for her, and for our new space. We learned so many things about how to run a weekly program like this. Administration and communication challenges with these young teenagers was overcome by using more Facebook messaging and text messaging. Our instructors found new tricks for how to hold the attention of our students in our large open-floor space. We had to position walls to make sure that they would not be distracted when someone would come into the gallery space or if the phone would ring. We learned that soothing music while the students worked on a project would help drowned out some of the background distractions. Outside of admin logistics we found that these young people would attend other programs at The Center, greatly increasing the impact on our organization. Our monthly Open Mic Night has grown in middle school age attendees, and we credit that to these after school art lessons. We know that the impact of having weekly young people creating and learning different art forms allowed for other visitors and participants of The Center to see the potential of our young organization. Each time someone would comment on a piece that might be out drying, they were constantly astounded that we had such a program happening...we know that we are making a difference, and growing our arts community. As we previously stated, we know that the impact of having weekly young people creating and learning different art forms allowed for other visitors and participants of The Center to see the potential of our young organization. Each time someone would walk past The Center and would see the young people in class, they would ask about other opportunities that we have available. This word or mouth marketing was and is huge for us. We know that The Center can fill a hole that exists in arts opportunities for our young people.

They will expand their knowledge of MN artists and art methodologies. Becoming more familiar with the artists and their processes will aid in expanding audience understanding of others' experiences and expand capacity for empathy. Experiencing the process of education and meeting artists will inspire future engagement in the arts. The Exhibition Series is also important to artists as it allows them to increase their professional visibility, reach new audiences, and create new work. It is vital for artists within our region specifically, as there are few opportunities for them to showcase their work locally. Interactive surveys at the exhibit ask viewers to select from several response choices that are representative of their experience of the exhibit and venue. Anecdotal feedback is also recorded in the exhibition guest log which invites guests to sign their name and leave feedback. Artists who exhibited are also given an anonymous online survey to leave feedback about their experience working with the gallery and whether or not this was beneficial in their career in terms of making new work, increasing their professional visibility, and reaching new audiences. Success is measured by a 15% increase in reception attendance and viewership over the previous year as well as a majority of positive feedback from audience members and artists.","This project has become a very popular addition to our community's annual celebration.

We look forward to making new friends for the opera with one of the most recognizable and accessible operas in the repertoire.This is the first collaboration of this type for Lyric Opera of the North. We will be working closely with the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra to assess the project from its very beginning to the end. We will meet regularly with the executive director and music director from the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra, for continuous evaluation. After the project is completed, Lyric Opera of the North will gather its Board of Directors and the General Artistic Directors to discuss the project. This evaluation, along with patron and artist feedback help us measure our outcomes.

The survey will also cover how they heard about the performance and if they are currently affiliated with any of the four art and history organizations involved. Future programming partnerships between the art and history organizations will also be recorded as an achievement of our goals.

While seeing the trajectory of this goal will take time, verbal feedback from residency event participants suggested there was a diverse and experimental nature to the artist's process. Grand Marais Art Colony's reputation for hosting a quality residency is growing as applicants are now coming from beyond Minnesota. c) Grand Marais Art Colony has created a successful programmatic model for the late winter season as artists continue to apply and come. 2.

Communication with Grand Marais Art Colony staff rated 4, as did Grand Marais Art Colony’s welcoming atmosphere, accommodations, preparedness of the studios and the overall experience. The open studios and engagement projects were rated at a 3 by two artists, allowing Grand Marais Art Colony to reconsider how they can be improved upon. 3. Through verbal evaluations Grand Marais Art Colony learned that having a contemporary art gallery nearby is a huge draw for contemporary artists looking for residency experiences. Grand Marais Art Colony also learned that its residency is most geared toward artists with some residency background as it is highly self-defined. 4. Grand Marais Art Colony hosted a total of 75 participants to community engagement projects.

The festival also presented films produced from the Arrowhead region and from around the world, engaged with cultures unlike our own and to revisited cultures from which audiences have been previously disconnected. The 2016 Duluth Superior Film Festival achieved its stated outcomes to increase attendance at all events, provide greater access to larger audience, gain higher profile press coverage, and create year-round financial stability. Quantitative proof of these statements through measurement of a 20% attendance increase from 2015 proving increased attendance, the provision of priority access seating to approximately 120 members of Native American community via partnership with the American Indian Community Housing Organization, realized increased publicity and press profile on a regional, state and national level, and accounting practices which demonstrate that Duluth Superior Film Festival remains debt free and has applied for 501c3 status. Quantitative proof is evidenced through an exceptionally high ballot survey return rate of 40% with overall score of enjoyment at 3.78 out of 4. This is also proven with the significant accomplishment of obtaining the Minnesota premiere screenings of two of the highest profile film productions the state has seen in years. These screenings took place in Cook’s The Comet Theater, thereby also increasing Duluth Superior Film Festival’s profile in the Iron Range area. This qualitative analysis of the festival and Duluth Superior Film Festival's significant accomplishments has now given the festival the reputation with visitors, filmmakers, producers and industry professionals as the state’s best film festival.",,20663,"Other, local or private",24013,,"Richard Hansen, Riki McManus, Ryan Kern, Dan Schneidkraut, Trey Wodele",0.00,"The Duluth Superior Film Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project Grant",,"The 2016 Duluth Superior Film Festival",2016-04-29,2016-08-08,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Richard,Hansen,"Duluth Superior Film Festival","1734 Columbus Ave",Duluth,MN,55803,"(612) 227-8015 ",richard@ds-ff.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Lake, Cook, Koochiching, Itasca, Aitkin, Carlton, Pine",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-grant-119,"Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of the Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior.","Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of The Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music, University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter.",,2

There is nothing else similar to it in our region, and we have developed a strong sense of community through the event. The lineup of state, regional, and local performers (with a renewed focus on MN talent) will bring a high-quality arts experience to the Hutchinson community that wouldn't otherwise be available to the public. This exposure helps to broaden the community and the region's appreciation of music deeply connected to our area's heritage, and brings an educational opportunity to all ages through observation and interaction. In order to gauge our success, we hold on-site evaluations by our intern; online surveys to fans, performers and volunteers; study financial results; and do extension debriefing sessions with all of our committees and Board.","We had nearly 700 people in attendance. The students were very engaged and excited to learn from keynote speaker Kevin Horner, a comedian and ventriloquist. 23 more artists held breakout sessions. We asked participants questions during the conference, and we also observed presenter/student interactions, listened to student questions, and watched students working on their projects. Presenters also provided feedback on student interaction, student comments, etc. All of this demonstrated that students learned new art techniques and had an increased awareness of art forms and careers in the arts.

It is our goal that by meeting the artists and learning about their work and processes, future engagement in the arts will grow for our audience. Becoming more familiar with the artists and their processes will aid in expanding audience understanding of others' experiences and expand capacity for empathy. The exhibition series is also important to artists as it allows them to increase their professional visibility, reach new audiences, and create new work. It is vital for artists within our region specifically, as there are few opportunities for them to showcase their work locally. Artist workshops not only promote the artist but also the HCA, and provide valuable arts education to the community. We evaluate and measure the success of this program by counting gallery visitors, tracking the number of views for the recorded program on YouTube, and conducting surveys. Interactive surveys at the exhibit ask viewers to select from several response choices that are representative of their experience of the exhibit and venue. Anecdotal feedback is also recorded in the exhibition guest log which invites guests to sign their name and leave feedback. Artists who exhibited are also given an anonymous online survey to leave feedback about their experience working with the gallery and whether or not this was beneficial in their career in terms of making new work, increasing their professional visibility, and reaching new audiences.","This programming was beneficial to our community as it provided access to arts and culture within close proximity.

I have several years of experience firing other people’s kilns, I think that it is time that I move into my own kiln firing. By building this kiln I can make a wider variety of work, not only in the type of firing but also in size. This kiln will allow me to go to a wider range of firing temperatures along with taking my maximum size of 22"" in height to more than four 1/2 feet in height. While my electric kiln is designed to reach temperatures as high as cone 10, it is not very friendly on the kiln. Using this kiln will allow me to fire in a reduced atmosphere. This kiln will also allow me to fire larger loads at a time. Firing with propane is also more economical that the current rates of electricity. First goal is to get the kiln built. This will be simply measured by the kiln being built. Second goal is to be sure that it works. This will be measured by firing a bisque firing, a cone six reduction firing, and finally a cone ten reduction firing. Once a successful firing has happened we will measure the capacity of the kiln compared to my current Skutt KM 1027 electric kiln. The goal here is to reduce the amount of times that I have to glaze fire in a given time period, while measuring this I will also determine if the cost of firing a propane kiln is more affordable than an electric kiln.

Recently, the opportunity arose in which to record this 12-song project live at the church in Hovland Minnesota, with the help of several local people including Bill Beckstrand, Pat Flack, Al Oikari, and several others who would be recorded live as a choir. Treepreacher is a spiritual but non-religious cohesive group of songs that has not been released before because I felt the need for special circumstances to arise before endeavoring to officially record and release it. I now have such an opportunity. My goal is that this project would benefit all who take part in recording it, with the outcome that those who hear the recording are inspired to believe that the power of community working live together is one of the greatest assets we possess. The prospective Treepreacher project would be reproduced starting with 1000 CD's. These CDs would be given away for promotion and sold at gigs. Selected songs from the project would be performed live on local radio. The measure of success would include CD sales, but more importantly be measured by the project's influence on creating music art that incorporates diversity of community as its strength. In this case, that includes taking a project that arose in a songwriter's mind (myself) and adding to that the ideas of others. In this case, Pat Flack heard a rough copy of the project, and it inspired him to suggest recording it in a local church that had great sound capabilities, as well as making use of a choir and other assets of that church, such as organ and piano. Upon hearing of the project, Al Oikari, along with Pat, myself, and Bill Beckstrand, visited the church and assessed its great recording capabilities and conceived a recording plan. Employing local people in the choir fulfills needs on some of the songs as well as providing community participation. Our conception is that this energy will translate very well to prospective listeners of the live recording, whether it be on CD or radio. In today's world, this sort of approach is sorely needed and can offset some of the negativity arising from politics in today's world, some of the self-centeredness so prevalent today.","1000 units of this CD are currently in production at Copycats media based in the twin cities. Project progress was waylaid by the illness of (producer) Al Oikari's mother, requiring full time care while recuperating in her home this past summer. Al Oikari was the only available caregiver, resulting in the progress of this project being pushed back several months. Public release of the Treepreacher CD and related events have been moved from JulyAugust to OctNov. I realize that this fact has limited the numbers o people affected by the project to this point.

Writing, photography and audio recording are the intended media forms. Each Day of class will be written according to my first-person account describing the progression of my abilities as a woodworker and traditional craftsman. After the conclusion of the project, one extended segment of the Deep North Podcast will consist of class audio and my personal monologue describing the course of study.","As I stated in my original grant proposal, my experience in this particular class at North House Folk School would be documented in a daily blog format and I would also be giving a personal account of the experience via audio recording and a published podcast episode.

The very act of presenting this piece will signify achievement, as I have never before written for dance-theater. Professional review, audience feedback, and debriefing with my collaborators will help me further evaluate my artistic growth. 2: This project will allow more Minnesotans the opportunity to see unique dance-theater work through at least three public performances in July 2013. We will have achieved this outcome if even one person attends our public performances who hasn't seen dance-theater before. We will gather information about our audiences through post-performance surveys and conversations.","I achieved major growth in my practice as a playwright through this project; my understanding of best practices for collaboration and new ways text can function in performance were vastly expanded. Evidence of this learning can be found in the successful public premiere of my work at the Southern Theater this past July. Comments in audience surveys were some of the most compelling indicators that my personal artistic growth rippled out to create a meaningful experience for viewers; many responses specifically mentioned the text and its unique interplay with the movement, using words like powerful, mesmerizing, thought-provoking, and transformative. In reviews and in conversations afterwards, many viewers said that the piece was unlike anything they had ever seen; and in debriefing with my collaborators, we agree the work is very distinct from anything any of us had ever made. These observations affirm to me that I succeeded in pushing my writing into new territory. 2: In my application, I noted that I would have achieved this outcome if even one person attended the public performances who hadn’t seen dance-theater before. In the audience surveys I collected (which were completed and returned by approximately 30% of attendees), five people reported that they had never seen dance-theater prior to this performance. Over half of the respondents (53%) said that they have only occasionally attended contemporary dance-theater. Many of these respondents also included comments about how they found the performance moving, intellectually engaging, and unlike anything they had ever seen. The respondents were 88% Minnesota residents. 81% of these Minnesota respondents are based in Hennepin county, while nearly 20% traveled from five other counties to see the work.",,,,10000,,,0.00,"Rachel H.

This outcome will be measured by reaching new audiences and providing a positive experience for the musicians/composers.

The two winning composers from the competition proved to be invaluable supporters for this project bringing in a high number of new audience members to me (measured by audience survey responses) and also helping me add two performance stops on the tour. The success of this competition has also led quite a large number of other local composers to approach me about writing music for me to perform. The commissioned work was also highly successful. This commission has resulted in a piece of music that I am confident will become a staple in the repertoire for voice and guitar. Audiences consistently picked this piece as their favorite from the concerts, and the success of working with the composer on the commission has opened up future performance opportunities for me. 2: I successfully produced eleven concerts and two workshops related to this project, partnering with a number of new organizations as well as groups already in my network. I learned quite a bit about co-producing concerts with arts organizations that will be invaluable for producing future performances. The success of this project in reaching new audiences surpassed all of my expectations as I was able to produce or co-produce eleven concerts and two workshops as part of the project instead of the planned four concerts. As a result of the higher number of events, I was able to reach approximately 450 audience members, of which approximately 80% had never attended one of my performances before, 68% had little to no previous exposure to chamber music, and 98% stated on audience surveys that they were interested in attending a future concert of mine.

I will also attend two workshops that will enhance my technical skill and overall artistic directions. As I dedicate time to creative development, I will see a notable improvement in my work. Having the ability to focus on design elements and how to work with materials in new ways will give my portfolio pieces a distinct artistic voice. The portfolio pieces I create will show my skill as an artist, and portray my work in a professional and cohesive way.

The purchase of new tools and a camera will make it easier for me to do my work well, and document it properly.","Throughout this project, I spent the designated amount of time per month working on improving my skill set. Through repetition, skill building exercises, and having focused time set aside, I was able to create 8 new pieces to become a part of my portfolio that show the best aspects of my work.

Secondly, on a more personal level, I want individual readers to be touched by a story that encourages them to bring out the magic within them. Although magic in the novel is literal, it serves as a metaphor for those parts of ourselves?be it our personalities, talents, creativity, or identities?that make us who we are but can feel hard to accept or can even be discouraged by society. I want my readers to feel empowered to accept their whole selves, and by accepting their true selves to help make a better world. I will consider this project a success if I share this work with the world and attract a devoted group of readers who want to become further immersed in this world and other things I might create, be that sequels, spinoffs, games, or multimedia experiences based on the book. While not everything is about numbers, I am hoping to impact tens of thousands of people with this story. Additionally, I'll consider this project a success if it helps readers feel less alone in their identities and more able to embrace who they are and have the courage to share that with the world.",,,36000,"Other,local or private",37000,,,,"Rachel Poynter",Individual,"Artist Access Grant",,"I am the North, a fantasy fiction novel inspired by northern Minnesota",2022-08-01,2023-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Rachel,Poynter,"Rachel Poynter",,,MN,,"(715) 523-0121",northernwordspress@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,Cook,,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/artist-access-grant-49,"Liz Engelman: Board, Dance, Theater, Arts Administrator, Laren Faherty: textile artist; Adam McCaley painter, muralist; Kelly Schamberger visual artist","Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Emily Swanson: arts administrator at Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community; Kris Nelson: artist, teacher; Roxann Berglund: musician; Bill Payne: Professor of Theater at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Sam Zimmerman: visual artist, teacher; Liz Engelman: dramaturg, founder and director of Tofte Lake Center; Jessica Peterson: essayist, playwright, co-founder of Yellow Tree Theater; Erin Cain: University of Minnesota-Duluth Student Liaison",,2

How can we measure winning hearts and minds' Most people experience my work through social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook), my web site (chuckumentary.com), collaborations with non-profits like Friends of the Boundary Waters, or via traditional media coverage. When I post each set of photos from April through November 2023, and with a live-streamed event in December 2023 summarizing the entire project, I will encourage folks to donate to Save the Boundary Waters and share their actions. Ultimately I'm asking people to go beyond just admiring the beauty of a photo, to taking action to protect the environment depicted in the photo. Social media offers some quantitative measures of impact - number of likes, retweets, and comments. What people say and comment, either publicly or to me privately, offers a qualitative measure of how my photographs have impacted them. Since I will be posting a set of 3 photographs every month for this project, my hope is that awareness and impact will build over time - especially at the project's conclusion. Likewise, getting coverage from TV, radio, and newspapers will be a measure of success because it shows that my work resonates with a wide audience. I'd love to be able to track specific donations to Friends of the Boundary Waters as a result of this project, but don't yet know if that will be possible. However I am asking people who are moved by this project to share what action they're taking - whether it's a donation, or writing a letter to the editor, or simply including a donation link if they share one of my photos.

I will measure the participant’s knowledge and skills gained by using pre and post-Clay Club surveys. Outcomes will also be measured by asking specific questions related to the project goals. Are participants engaged with creating? Did they complete the entire process? Did participants use what they are learning to grow and create more work? Are participants able to connect the ceramic process to other areas of their life, for example, problem solving, persistence, critical thinking and self-awareness? Are challenges being resolved in a positive way? Are participants having positive interactions with others (including adults)?","The primary goal of Clay Club was to provide an opportunity for engaged learning in the ceramic arts. A secondary goal was for participants to build connections with each other, including adults, in a positive environment focused on the creative process. I measured the knowledge gained by using prepost surveys. Very few participants had much previous experience in ceramics and all participants gained knowledge according to my observations and the prepost survey data. To determine the educational success I also relied on observations. Participants were engaged, most (98%) completed the entire process and used what they learned to create more work. Many were able to connect the ceramic process to other areas of their life, especially observable was the self-expression of the older group. I observed participants having positive interactions with each other and the adults. I observed the participants gain confidence and a sense of belonging to a group.","achieved most of the proposed outcomes",870,"Other,local or private",5870,,,0.00,"Melissa R.

We can talk with participants and ask questions about their experience to determine if goals are being met. We also analyze unsolicited feedback-thank you letters, phone calls, and posts on social media often provide a lot of information about a powerful concert experience. Many people post about their first visit to the Symphony and tag us so that we can see it.","The Director of Operations designed and disseminated the surveys at the performance with the help of two volunteers. They tabulated and shared findings with the board of directors at the following board meeting. This information was highly useful because we learned that, even for a ""specialty"" program, our core patron base prefers afternoon performances. Moving forward, we know to program in the afternoons, even for special events.","Achieved Proposed Outcomes",15810,"Other,local or private",22810,,"Shannon Beal, Elaine Buhs, Jerry Crest, Kim Ernest, Thea Groth, Marcia Jagodzinske, Sue Keithahn, Kenny Klooster, Paul Lawton, Kimberly McGuire, Joe Smentek, Joe Sullivan, Scott Weilage",0.00,"Mankato Symphony Orchestra Association, Inc.

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

We will evaluate the project with student and instructor evaluations and ask for written feedback from members of the public that attend the events. We will track the attendance of all the students and their interest in participating in the second series of classes. We will consider the project a success if we fill the classes and students choose to participate in the second series of classes building on their skills. Participation in the student shows, displaying their work and demonstrating stained glass techniques indicates success. A willingness to continue their connection with the Folk School, attending events and/or volunteering will also be considered a measure of success.","A goal was to provide more learning opportunities for young people and adults with fewer financial resources. We partnered with the Northern Lights Clubhouse which serves adults recovering from and living with mental illness, working with participants to reduce isolation and improve overall health and wellbeing.

We also looked to increase the practice of stained glass in the community! The Ely Public Library recently installed 8 stained glass windows done by local artists, so interest was piqued.

The main vehicle the DDAC has used to increase visibility has been the Downtown Duluth Arts Walk. Our immediate goals are to continue to work to make the Walk into a known event, one that is accessible and inclusive and brings cultural value to our city and neighborhood. Measurable outcomes for this year of funding include: a 25% increase in attendance at Arts Walk events; a significant increase in engagement through our social media platforms and development of website/blog to provide deeper insight into our arts community; increases in visitor traffic to member locations during non-Arts Walk times; successful coordination, partnership and relationship building between our members, Downtown artists, and artists outside our organizational network; and outreach to the people in our neighborhood, the Arrowhead region, and visitors to the region. We hope to track our growth in a number of ways. First, monthly surveys of our members, comparing visitor traffic during Arts Walk events, and comparing their monthly visitor traffic during non Arts Walk times. Second, through tracking and comparing quarterly analytics data provided by social media platforms and our website. Third, by hosting listening/feedback sessions with community and business leaders throughout the year to see where we are on track or if we need to adjust to meet our goals. The DDAC is a nimble, responsive organization, with respectful and open channels of communication between member groups. It is a value we hold dear and continue to foster. Through bonds created over the last year between our membership, we are able to respond to needs for change in proactive and efficient ways. An example, is moving our Arts Walks to a quarterly schedule, to better meet the planning needs of our members and to make each Walk a better event for our larger community.","An interesting effect of the Arts Walk moving virtual was an expanded audience made possible by the ease of online interaction, less barriers related to people's discomfort attending unfamiliar social events and physical distance, as well as the multimedia nature the virtual Arts Walks. We promoted the work of our member venues in Downtown Duluth but acknowledged the importance of collaboration with those in greater Duluth and beyond during a mutually challenging and at times heartbreaking year. We experienced an increase in virtual participation and were able to build social media presence, but the goal of more foot traffic in the downtown venues was affected by pandemic safety precautions. We remain committed to developing our website as a local arts archive as we embark on another year.

Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations tour to communities and regions they haven’t previously visited.","1. Through the grant, five Minnesota ceramic artists were able to bring their artistry and work to five communities and over 2,500 individuals around the state. Because of the interest expressed, we added a fifth site to the tour. Attendance at these sites was significant with attendees traveling some distance to take part. By using both the video presentation and the presence of a noted ceramics artist, the public was able to see the depth and breadth of the ceramics tradition in Minnesota as well as experience firsthand the work of the artist. In the returned surveys, 70% of attendees at one opening indicated that they were introduced to new artists. 74% would like to see additional ceramics exhibits at the venues used by the tour. 2. Evaluation was carried out through an evaluation/survey instrument presented at each of the gallery openings/receptions/demonstrations. Evaluations consisted of a series of eleven questions designed to gather information on from participants on their interaction with ceramic art and their perception of the event and exhibit. Participants were asked to fill out the evaluation and return. Surveys were collected and data compiled by the Anoka Ramsey Community College Research Department. 2: 1. The ceramic artists on tour had an opportunity to visit locations and share background on their work where they would not normally be able to visit. Ceramics artists, while sharing a rich tradition in Minnesota, do not generally have the resources to cover the expenses of touring to different parts of the state. Additionally, the artists had an opportunity to meet with the public and share on a more personal level their vision and work. This included an exhibition, opening reception and gallery talk and demonstrations in each of the locations. The tour broadened the understanding of ceramics artistry and exposed a greater part of the state to this tradition. 62% of attendees responding to surveys from three of the openings stated that the information at the workshop was completely new to them. 2.

We had audience members fill out surveys at the end of the show, we had surveys for the presenters to give feedback, and surveys for Margo to assess the presenters. Evaluation of Diggity Dog Days with surveys distributed at each of the six shows. I had 96 respondents out of a total audience of 153 for the six shows. One of the hopes I had in presenting my puppet show was to expose more people to the art of puppetry. 34% of the respondents had never seen puppetry before, 51% had occasionally seen puppet shows and 9% had seen puppetry often. Though I did not ask directly whether people who had not seen puppetry would attend another show, I gleaned from their subjective comments that they enjoyed the show. (i.e.: “wonderful, just wonderful”; “I was really caught up in the movement.”; “It was excellent.”) As it turned out, half of the people who had seen puppetry “often” attended the show in Grand Marais where there is a strong interest in the art of puppetry. I performed the show in four very different venues; I asked the question, “Did attending this production foster a deeper connection for you with your community?” The results were that 54% responded yes, 8% responded no, and 37% were unsure or left the space blank. At the two most grass roots venues, Dream Acres Farm and Betsy’s Studio: What’s Upstairs, 65% and 75% respectively responded positively about the sense of community fostered. The Playground in Duluth, 45% responded positively, and in New York Mills 40% responded positively. As far as the response of my presenters, it was very positive, and I was told that I would be welcome to come back at Dream Acres and New York Mills. 2: Margo McCreary toured to four locations where she has never performed before. She performed a total of six shows and with the help of Marya Hart, offered six workshops one of which did not happen for lack of participants.

I envision that this understanding will empower the participants as creative problem solvers as well as gaining an understanding of how creativity and creative work surround us in our lives. Participants will build connections with each other (including helpful adults) in a positive environment focused on the creative process. It is prudent to prepare for a distance learning model as a back up plan. If this becomes the situation, I am prepared to have virtual Clay Club via video chats and have discussed delivering and picking up materials along with school materials; I have received support for that idea. To determine the educational success of Clay Club I will rely primarily on observations of anticipated outcomes and I will also ask questions of the participants related to the outcomes. I will take notes and track individual progress with the intention of best supporting each participant. Using tools like these questions will be helpful to document progress as well as to monitor and adjust: 1) Are they engaged with creating? 2) Did they complete the process' 3) Did they use what they learned from their first piece to grow and create more work? 4) Are they able to connect the ceramic process to other areas of their life?

By combining this result with the data showing the majority of audience heard of the performance from family members, we can surmise that we may have opportunities to gain participants and audience members from the surrounding area.

This grant allowed the Bach Society to create jobs for seven musicians and created the opportunity to introduce the Bach Society to the St. Peter community. One assessment tool used measured the size of the audience and the number of people willing to give the Bach Society their contact information. The audience of 92 was significantly below what was projected based on our partner's projections. 23% of the audience signed up for our traditional mail list and 35% of the audience signed up for our email list. We hoped for a larger percentage of participants to enter into our contact base, but at the same time, these people expressed an interest in connecting with our organization. 2: Another assessment tool is the input from the musicians. They were unanimously positive in their assessment of the touring experience. They were enthusiastic about the project and the audience reaction. Disappointment was expressed in the size of the audience, signaling the need that more be done to capture the imagination and attention of the community to which we tour. Through informal conversations with audience members and staff of Gustavus Adolphus, we learned that this was a very positive musical experience. Audience members were enthusiastic about the music and the musicians. The staff at Gustavus expressed the desire to have us back.

To artistically embrace and expound ideas of metamorphosis (changing form) to connect concepts of season turn, natural life cycles, transformations, and restoration of our environment. To create greater accessibility to, participation in, and awareness of sustainable art making and artistic exhibits with responsible, economic and creative reuse/repurpose of materials. To demonstrate art as an effective learning tool for learning and integrating beauty, science, culture, geography and history for all ages and backgrounds, especially in West Duluth. To have fun! Photographs and video footage will visually document the interactive creative fun and learning. Children's art will be publicly displayed along with their comments (with permission) at the museum and also in the Downtown Depot starting November 1st for Duluth All Souls Night, November 6th. Adult feedback can be easily posted on related Facebook pages and websites. Exit surveys and comment cards will be available onsite and online. The museum as always accurately tracks demographics and attendance numbers. We will see visibly more milkweed, butterflies and awareness as a result of community connections made between children and monarch artists and educators.","The Duluth Children's Museum and I successfully cultivated creativity and deepened knowledge of the arts for children, youth, and adults by engaging them in arts experiences and activities with clearly articulated learning objectives. These included learning about the arts, learning about life through the arts, and learning about the role the arts play in most aspects of daily life. Activities presented participants with opportunities to experience and learn about art through direct contact with an artist, by public performance/presentations, and taking part in other arts learning appropriate activities.

2160,"Ballast Water Sampling Method Development and Treatment Technology",2010,300000,"M.L. 2009, Chp. 143, Sec. 2, Subd. 06a","$300,000 is from the trust fund and $66,000 is from the Great Lakes protection account to the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency in cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources to conduct monitoring for aquatic invasive species in ballast water discharges to Minnesota waters of Lake Superior and to test the effectiveness of ballast water treatment systems.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,66000,"Great Lakes Protection Account",,,,,MPCA,"State Government","Project Overview Ballast water - water carried in tanks on ships to help provide stability and aid steering - is likely the single greatest source for introduction of non-native and invasive aquatic species. Ballast water is collected in one body of water and discharged into another body of water, usually large distances apart. Options exist for treating ballast water prior to discharge in order to prevent these introductions, but they have not been tested in freshwater environments such as the Great Lakes. Through this appropriation, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and Northeast Midwest Institute are cooperating to conduct monitoring for aquatic invasive species in ballast water discharge in Lake Superior, test the effectiveness of ballast water treatment options in a freshwater environment, and accelerate installation of treatment options that prove effective. Overall Project Outcome and Results Safe and effective ballast water treatment (BWT) is the best way to prevent ship-mediated introductions of invasive species in the Great Lakes. However, knowing whether a proposed BWT works in freshwater, and whether it is used properly by a ship is a difficult challenge for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and other regulators. BWTs with International Maritime Organization (IMO) approval have never been tested in natural fresh water, and there are no agreed methods for monitoring ballast discharge from ships. This project assisted the MPCA through accomplishing a) IMO-consistent freshwater validations of two promising BWTs at the Great Ships Initiative (GSI) freshwater testing facility, and 2) design, installation and demonstration of a credible and feasible ballast discharge sampling method for Great Lakes ships. The IMO-approved PureBallast system (AlfaLaval), performed well in tests overseas, but did not function effectively in the GSI test, likely due to clogging by freshwater filamentous algae (see http://www.nemw.org/GSI/GSI-LB-F-A-2.pdf). This outcome informs MPCA that IMO-approval does not by itself assure freshwater effectiveness. The other BWT tested, a lye-based system aimed at US lakers, performed better (see http://www.nemw.org/GSI/GSI-LB-F-A-3.pdf), warranting refinement and shipboard testing. The project's ship sampling system proved a) applicable to the Great Lakes fleet, as demonstrated by project installation plans for 10 ships; b) cost-effective, as demonstrated by installations on 5 ships; and c) feasible, as demonstrated by sampling exercises on 2 ships. A detailed guidebook (see http://www.nemw.org/GSI/ballastDischargeMonitoringGuidebook.pdf) equips MPCA with the project method. All sample ports are permanent installations. The remaining four installations and seven tests will take place in 2012 using Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration funds. GSI will collect and analyze data on live organisms in ballast water discharge sampled in 2011 and 2012, and will post outcomes on the GSI website (http://www.greatshipsinitiative.org) and forward them to the MPCA. Project Results Use and Dissemination Final reports on ballast treatment tests performed pursuant to this grant, and the guidebook developed for ship discharge sampling, have been posted on the GSI public website (www.greatshipsinitiative.org). The project forwarded final reports on ballast treatment performance tests to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Science Advisory Board which reported to the USEPA and the USCG on availability of ballast treatment technology in 2011. NEMWI presented the sampling method developed through this project to an international gathering of ballast discharge researchers and regulators (Global R&D Forum and Exhibition on Ballast Water Management in a session on ballast treatment testing and compliance monitoring in Istanbul Turkey in the fall of 2011), and will submit the guidebook as a manuscript for the conference proceedings.

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

I have a track record of exhibiting successfully, including at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum.","I printed, had framed and exhibited over 40 photographs. Exhibition venues included: Mill City Museum, Minneapolis, MN; CHARAC Art Center, Hayward, WI; Weiss Library, Hayward, WI; The Phipps Center for the Arts, Hudson, WI; Minnesota Marine Art Museum, Winona, MN; Stillwater Public Library, Stillwater, MN; Judd Street Exchange, Marine on St. Croix, MN; Watershed Gallery within National Eagle Center, Wabasha, MN; Grand Marais Art Colony, Grand Marais, MN, will show at White Bear Lake Art Center, WBL, MN summer 2019. In addition, I put on two photography workshops, and did dozens of programs based upon this work throughout the St. Croix Watershed. Segments of the work were also shown on Twin Cities Public Television as part of their pledge drive. I did many interviews on TV, radio and newspapers, with major coverage in Minneapolis Star Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer Press.

I will then begin a year-long process of layout/graphic design, and editing for print preparation. As a member of a diverse seaside community, and part of a successful family-owned restaurant, I have spent the last ten years writing cookbooks. These cookbooks are unique, in that they speak not only to the culinary culture of the Pie Place Cafe', but chronicle the history of Grand Marais, and the life of it's colorful folk. This third cookbook will continue the story of Grand Marais, it's rich and diverse history, and the people who make this community what it is. The stories that are included in these pages are ones that have been gathered during twenty years as a restaurant family. They speak to all aspects of the human condition; joy, sorrow, triumph, courage, and the spirit that built a thriving community of people who know the value of friendship and love. I will be working with my editor, Konnie LeMay, in a mentorship capacity as she assists me in taking my writing to greater levels of creative expression in this project. Unlike my previous cookbooks, this volume will be 90 percent narrative/story with a small sampling of basic home cooking techniques/recipes pulled from the early culinary/indigenous heritage of the area. This book will continue the story of the individuals whose lives have inspired and changed me. Narrative will continue the history of Grand Marais as well. Outcome will be measured by a completed manuscript, to will include narrative/stories (65-70 short-essay format), photographs for each narrative/story, ""lead-ins"" and recipes, as well as potential layout design. In addition, I will be actively engaged in contacting each person about whom I am writing to obtain photographs for inclusion into the body of the narrative. This includes contact with the Minnesota Historical Society to obtain archival photos, which they have been most generous to contribute in the past. I will be researching early culinary traditions and recipes as they pertain to my theme ""Back to the Table."" Test kitchen work is required to ensure that recipes can be easily and successfully executed by the home cook. In addition, I will prepare, stage, and photograph all food included in the centerpiece of the manuscript.

The success of the public album release party will be measured by attendance and CD sales. We define success as having at 70 or more people attending the event and selling at least 30 CDs at the album release party. The marketing campaign will be measured by communicating our new CD and album release party to the Duluth News Tribune, the Northland Reader, KUMD, the Current, and Facebook.

The primary goal of this project is to select photography prints within a consistent theme and style and have my first solo photography exhibition. The exhibition consists of three 24x30-inch framed prints and eight 11x14-inch framed prints with five additional framed prints to maintain the hanging format of the exhibit as framed prints sell. The goal is to have 50 backed and bagged 13x19-inch prints and 200 8x10-inch backed and bagged prints on the floor held in folding canvas print racks. The measurable outcome is completing the prints and readying them for the exhibit and hanging them according to my computer mockups of the show. 2. The secondary goal is to have my photography seen by approximately 10,000 people. The measurable outcome is the number of people who see the exhibit. 3. The third goal is to sell approximately twenty prints. The measurable outcome is the amount of sales. The primary way that I'll evaluate this project is manifold: 1. The primary goal will be achieved after I print, frame and bag the artwork and then hang the show according to my mockup within a consistent theme and style. I'll be able to visually measure the goal when on the wall by comparing it to my mockup. I'll be able to measure the outcome by counting the number of prints that I was able to print, bag and frame. 2. Cedar Coffee Company and Spokengear will determine the total number of visitors that have seen the exhibit. 3. Total number of prints sold will measure whether my third goal was achieved.","In the grant application, I had three goals and three ways to measure the outcomes of those goals. 1. When I hung the show, it matched my mockup and had a consistent theme and style with one variation. Due to lack of additional storage at the shop, we hung the backup prints in addition what the mockup showed. It resulted in a more impactful display. I beat my goal of printing and backing 50 13x19-inch prints by doing 100 13x19-inch prints. I hit my goal of printing 200 8x10-inch prints. 2. Cedar Coffee Company and Spokengear determined that 10,516 people saw the exhibit. This is based on transaction totals during the show and estimating that there were 1.5 people per transaction. My goal was to have the exhibit seen by approximately 10,000 people. 3. I sold 40 prints during the show for a total of $2,006.25. After taking there consignment fee out, I received $1605.

I will finish this novel begun several years ago, giving voice to the main character who has lived with me, polishing the manuscript to be ready for publication.

I’ll present my work in a public reading to an audience of regional fiction writers, inviting them to present their work as well, to celebrate and recognize this literary community as we consider how to contribute our voices and our energy.

This objective will be successfully met when the instruments are complete and on display. Additionally, I have two secondary goals that supplement and result from my primary goal: 1) improve craftsmanship as a builder; 2) develop a reputation as a local banjo maker. An improvement in my craftsmanship will be measured by successfully incorporating inlay and decorative wood techniques that I have not previously attempted that will improve the overall aesthetic and tone of the banjos. The foundations of a local reputation commence as I interact with area banjo players who happen to see and play the instruments created in this project. I will have two completed banjos for sale and on display in Duluth no later than September 30, 2016. I have built previous banjos in one month. With improved access to supplies and more efficient tools, construction of two banjos in three months is reasonable. To ensure timeliness of completion, I have established the following benchmarks corresponding with the building process: 1) Necks and fingerboard completed by August 1. 2) Pots completed by August 15. 3) Finishing and hardware installation completed by September 1. 4) Banjos setup, tuned and delivered by September 15. Quantification of improved craftsmanship will begin with a review of project notes, recordings and photos of my previous banjos. I will be focusing especially on improving my skills in decorative wood and inlay techniques. Peghead and fingerboard inlay work will occur in the first phase to allow time to rebuild or improve inlay and decorative work. Once these two methods are successful and incorporated into the completed banjos, I will consider my skills improved and the goal met. A local reputation takes years of collaboration to develop. To evaluate the progress towards this goal I have established long and short-term measures. A short-term measure will be communication with at least one area banjo player who has seen and played my project instruments within the first month of display I hope to achieve my long-term outcome of collaborating with and building a banjo for at least one local musician within one year.","Completed two banjos incorporating decorative wood and inlay techniques.",,1140,"Other, local or private",3000,,,0.00,"Ben Cogger",Individual,"Career Development Grant ",,"Made in Duluth banjos.

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

These forests are near the southern edge of their geographic range. With a warmer climate the health and productivity of these forests may be jeopardized by increased stresses such as heat, drought, fires, storms, and insect pests resulting in a much different forest ecosystem for northern Minnesota in the future. Scientists at the University of Minnesota's Department of Forest Resources are using this appropriation to evaluate how these forests are poised to respond to these changes and obtain the necessary data to guide forest management and planning efforts, such as determining practices that will help fend off threats from invasive species. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project addressed the stewardship of forests in Minnesota's most renowned and iconic natural area - the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) - under a changing climate. Forests of the BWCAW are at the very southern edge of the boreal forest biome (cold adapted forests of spruce, fir, pine, birch and aspen), with temperate forest species (primarily red maple) from the south, as well as exotic invasive species poised to invade in a warming climate. The purpose of the study was to map these species and temperatures across the BWCAW to gain insight into change that may occur in the BWCAW as the climate warms. For this purpose, PhD student David Chaffin placed 106 temperature sensors across the landscape, which measured temperature hourly for two years, accompanied by 106 plots on which all tree species abundances were measured. Also, 100 transects totaling nearly 16 miles in length were placed across the landscape to sample for the presence of temperate tree species and invasive species. Results show that European earthworms are a common invasive group of species; about 70%, and 33% of the forests within the BWCAW are at minimal and high stages of invasion, respectively. Earthworm invasion is related to distances from campsites, portage trails and motorized lakes, but not to temperature. Summer (June, July and August) daily maximum temperatures show a west (warm) to east (cool) gradient of about 12-13 degrees F across the BWCAW. Red maple abundance was positively related to summer temperature, being highest in the west. The main synthesis from all of the data collected during the project is that boreal conifers like black spruce, balsam fir, and jack pine may find a cool-temperature refuge and persist in the eastern BWCAW, even in a very warm future climate, but would be co-dominant with expanding red maple populations. Earthworms will continue to expand and facilitate these changes in tree species composition.

A list of proposed restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.",,"Enhanced 347 acres of habitats ",,,"n/a ",2080000,,,.70,"MN Trout Unlimited","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Minnesota Trout Unlimited enhanced in-stream and riparian fish and wildlife habitat in and along coldwater streams and lakes located on public lands and Aquatic Management Areas.  We originally proposed 11 projects, yet completed 13 projects. Contracting efficiencies and leveraging of other funding allowed us to add three more habitat enhancement projects in northeast Minnesota and to lengthen others.  One small budget project was dropped when a partner changed the scope from 144 acres to less than 15 and proposed costs outweighed the potential benefit. Despite dropping that project we finished with 89% of the proposed acres being achieved (347 acres completed versus 388 acres proposed).",,"The projects completed with Fy2013 funding 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 fish habitat enhancement 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. MNTU tailored each project 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) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream; (b) reconnect streams to their floodplains to reduce negative resource impacts from severe flooding; (c) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms; (d) maintain or increase adult trout abundance; (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; (h) improve lake productivity for trout species; and (i) protect productive trout waters from undesirable 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 and help cool the water. 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 streamside 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 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 are often installed into banks in hydraulically suitable locations and reinforced with rock as a way to restore or recreate the undercut banks which had existed before settlement and agricultural land use altered the more stable flows which had gradually created and maintained them. Finally, vegetation is reestablished in the re-graded riparian corridor to further stabilize banks and act as buffer strips to improve water quality. Depending upon the specific site conditions, landowner cooperation, and agricultural use, native prairie grasses may be planted along the stream corridors, although often mixed with fast sprouting annual grains to anchor soils the first year. 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.

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

Staff complies with Office of Grants Management policies. The CPL program has 3 annual grant cycles- Traditional, Metro, and Expedited Conservation Projects (ECP). The Traditional and Metro cycles had one grant round beginning August 2017. Projects under $25,000 will have a simplified application. The ECP grant cycle had two rounds of funding. CPL staff reviewed applications for completeness. Technical Review Committees, comprised of habitat experts across the state and approved by the DNR Commissioner, reviewed and scored Traditional and Metro applications based on evaluation criteria (see attached). The DNR Directors of Fish and Wildlife, Eco Waters, and Forestry reviewed the committee?s recommendations and provide a final ranking to the Commissioner. Funding decisions were made by the Commissioner?s office. ECP grants are reviewed by CPL staff and DNR habitat experts using established criteria. The Director of Fish and Wildlife made final funding decisions for ECP. Grantees were required to submit annual and final accomplishment reports. Grantees were paid on a reimbursement or ?for services rendered? basis, meaning payment is made to the grantee after work has been performed. Proof that the vendor was paid must be submitted to staff before additional payments are made. Funds were advanced for acquisitions to accommodate cash flow needs.

",,"The CPL program fulfills MS 97a.056 Subd. 3a, directing LSOHC to establish a conservation partner’s grant program encouraging/supporting local conservation efforts. $8,660,000 was available for grants. Of this amount, up to $2,660,000 was used for projects in the 7-county metro area and in cities with a population of 50,000 people or greater. This is a stand-alone program, but depends on support/technical advice from public land managers and habitat and acquisition specialists. Grant activities included enhancement, restoration and protection of forests, wetlands, prairies, and habitat for fish, game, or wildlife in Minnesota. A 10% match from non-state sources is required for all grants, and may be in- kind or cash. Applicants described the project, location, activity, habitat, benefit, etc. For acquisition projects, applicants described the parcel selection process. CPL Staff developed an RFP incorporating LSOHC priorities. Staff worked with applicants to submit applications, oversaw grant selection, prepared/executed grant documents, reviewed expenditures, approved payments/reports, monitored work, and assisted recipients with close-out. Staff complies with Office of Grants Management policies. The CPL program has 3 annual grant cycles- Traditional, Metro, and Expedited Conservation Projects (ECP). The Traditional and Metro cycles had one grant round beginning August 2017. Projects under $25,000 will have a simplified application. The ECP grant cycle had two rounds of funding. CPL staff reviewed applications for completeness. Technical Review Committees, comprised of habitat experts across the state and approved by the DNR Commissioner, reviewed and scored Traditional and Metro applications based on evaluation criteria (see attached). The DNR Directors of Fish and Wildlife, Eco Waters, and Forestry reviewed the committee’s recommendations and provide a final ranking to the Commissioner. Funding decisions were made by the Commissioner’s office. ECP grants are reviewed by CPL staff and DNR habitat experts using established criteria. The Director of Fish and Wildlife made final funding decisions for ECP. Grantees were required to submit annual and final accomplishment reports. Grantees were paid on a reimbursement or “for services rendered” basis, meaning payment is made to the grantee after work has been performed. Proof that the vendor was paid must be submitted to staff before additional payments are made. Funds were advanced for acquisitions to accommodate cash flow needs. CPL Administration Budget: Administration costs of $101,300 include salary/fringe, direct support services, travel, supplies, outreach, ongoing application system/database maintenance, and other professional services.

A 10% match from non-state sources is required for all grants. CPL staff develop a Request for Proposal and Program Manual incorporating LSOHC priorities, solicit applications, work with applicants to submit scorable applications, oversee grant selection, prepare/execute grant documents, review expenditure documentation, ensure financial integrity, make payments, monitor grant work, assist recipients with closing out agreements, and prepare required reports. CPL staff complies with the Department of Administration- Office of Grants Management policies. Application process:  A Request for Proposal/Program Manual was posted on the CPL website in August 2015. Document contains all grant program information.  Applications are submitted on the online grant application system. Applicants use the mapping tool in the application to map project sites. Applications are accepted until September 2015 for round 1 of all grant cycles. Expedited Conservation Project (ECP) applications and applications for less than $25,000 have a shorter application form. The application system accepts ECP applications until funding runs out, but is designed for 5 rounds of applications. Traditional (statewide) applications were accepted once, Metro applications were accepted twice, and ECP applications were accepted three times.  Grant Selection Process:  Cpl Grant Program Staff review applications for completeness. Technical Review Committees, selected by the Commissioner of Natural Resources, evaluate applications based on criteria below. A final score is given to all applications. Committees include representatives from the DNR, BWSR, UMN, USFWS, USFS, counties, and other local government and non-profit organizations. A final ranking committee of Directors of the DNR Divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Ecological Resources/Waters, and Forestry consider the technical review committee, division and regional DNR comments, and recommend projects and funding to the Commissioner. ECP grants are reviewed by CPL staff, using criteria established for each type of project, and make recommendations. Division of Fish and Wildlife leadership make final decisions. CPL Grant Program Staff work with grantees to complete financial reviews, grant agreements, and other paperwork. Work may not begin until grant contract is executed. Applications are evaluated on these criteria:  Amount of habitat restored, enhanced, or protected Local Support Degree of collaboration Urgency Multiple benefits Consistency with current conservation science Adjacent to protected lands Full funding of project Budget/cost effectiveness Public access for hunting and fishing Use of native plant materials Applicants' capacity to successfully complete and sustain work Project Reviews and Reporting:  Grantees submit annual accomplishment reports on forms provided by CPL staff, based on LSOHC report forms. Reports account for the use of grant and match funds, and outcomes in measures of wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat restored, enhanced, and protected. The report must include an evaluation of these results. A final report is required by all grantees 30 days after project completion.

The program collects information on the geology of Minnesota to create maps and reports depicting the characteristics and pollution sensitivity of Minnesota's ground-water resources. County Geologic Atlases are used in planning and environmental protection efforts at all levels of government and by businesses to ensure sound planning, management, and protection of land and water resources. This appropriation will: Support completion of geologic atlases for Todd, Carlton, McLeod, Carver, Benton and Chisago counties; Initiate geologic atlases for Anoka and Wright counties; Make collected data available in a digital format; Investigate the recharge and physical characteristics of the Mt. Simon Aquifer - the deepest bedrock aquifer of south central Minnesota and the Twin Cities metro area, which supplies all or some of the water needs of over one million Minnesotans. Work will be conducted in McLeod, Wright, Sherburne, and Isanti counties. PART 2: MN Department of Natural Resources Overall Project Outcome and Results Most data collected for the Mt. Simon - Hinckley aquifer Phase 2 study were derived from 16 wells installed at 10 locations to depths of 100 to 695 feet in McLeod, Wright, Hennepin, Sherburne, Anoka, and Isanti counties. In the Phase 2 area chemical residence time indicators from the Mt. Simon aquifer indicate groundwater ages less than approximately 1,000 years in eastern Wright and Sherburne counties and northern Isanti County. These relatively young groundwater ages are consistent with water level and stratigraphic information that indicate both direct and indirect connection of surface water to the Mt. Simon- Hinckley aquifer through localized focused recharge. This project has shown that the most critical recharge area for the Mt. Simon-Hinckley aquifer and Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area water supply includes portions of Wright, Sherburne, and Isanti counties. Protection of this region from water pollution should be a high priority for all levels of government. Continued monitoring of wells installed for this investigation will create a long term record that can be used to interpret changes in local and regional water supply due to water use or climate changes. The County Geologic Atlas, Part B, portion of this project supported the completion of three and the initiation of six Part B atlases in the County Geologic Atlas series that the DNR prepares in collaboration with the Minnesota Geological Survey. Each Part B atlas provides groundwater maps, data describing aquifer properties and use, analytical results of groundwater chemistry sampling including age-dating samples, and interpretation of pollution sensitivity. All of these maps and data are used to meet many environmental information and protection needs, including resource protection planning, water resource management, water appropriation permitting, contamination mitigation, education, among others. The Todd, Carlton, and Benton Part B atlases were completed and the Carver, McLeod, Chisago, Blue Earth, Nicollet, and Sibley Part B atlases were initiated.   Project Results Use and Dissemination The reports from this project have been available on the DNR website since the summer of 2012. The Mt. Simon project was presented as a poster at the Midwest Groundwater Association meeting in Minneapolis in October 2012. We are currently producing a short (15 minute) video highlighting some of the results of the project for presentation at future meetings and for general viewing on the internet. In addition, a summary of the project will be submitted to the Minnesota Groundwater Association for inclusion in the quarterly newsletter. The well log and well construction information is currently available in the project report and the Minnesota Department of Health County Well Index (http://mdh-agua.health.state.mn.us/cwi/cwiViewer.htm). The wells have become part of the DNR observation well network. Water level data is currently available at: http://climate.umn.edu/ground_water_level/. Publication of Part B atlas reports include preparation and printing of the County Geologic Atlases, Part B, and delivery of printed reports to the county; preparation and delivery of Part B materials to MGS for inclusion in a DVD version of each completed project that incorporates geographic information system (GIS) files, database files, pdfs, and additional digital products. When each atlas Part B is completed a training workshop for the county and local users is held to explain the results and how the maps, data, and other information can be used to assist local water resource programs. To reach other users and audiences program staff contributed newsletter articles and presented talks and posters at conferences.

A list of proposed conservation easement acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. The accomplishment plan must include an easement stewardship plan.",,"Protect 30,700 of shoreline and 1,330 acres of habitat",,,,816000,,,,"Minnesota Land Trust","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The natural shoreline around Minnesota's celebrated lakes and rivers comprises one of the most biologically important systems in the state for fish, game and wildlife. It is also one of the most threatened. In order to preserve this important component of Minnesota's natural heritage, the Minnesota Land Trust proposes to implement the a Critical Shoreline Habitat Protection Program. This program will protect essential lakeshore and stream-side habitat and help fulfill the goals of the DNR's Aquatic Management Area program, the State Conservation and Preservation Plan and many others. In this phase of the program, the Minnesota Land Trust will strategically concentrate its activity on important aquatic resources within northeast Minnesota's Arrowhead region, including DNR-designated high priority trout streams and lakes. The Land Trust will protect more than 50,000 feet of threatened shoreline habitat by acquiring 9-12 conservation easements which will permanently protect a rich mosaic of naturally vegetated shoreline, forest habitat and wetlands on more than 1,000 acres. The program will target projects which will help fill the gaps in existing public ownership, contain the highest-quality habitat, and provide the greatest leverage to the state. The Arrowhead region is prioritized in this phase of the program because it has immensely important shoreline habitat and aquatic resources for fish, game and wildlife (including the highest concentration of trout streams in the state) and because it has a high concentration of landowners interested in placing conservation easements on their properties. ","The problem being addressed by this program is one identified in most state and local conservation plans, including the Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan: the development and disturbance of the state's remaining sensitive shoreline habitat. Science conducted by the DNR and others indicate that the shoreline 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 landscapes due to the intensity of lakeshore development. This opportunity being addressed is one of having multiple landowners in the Arrowhead region who are ready and willing to grant conservation easements on exceptional shoreline habitat, thus providing high-leverage, immediately-tangible protection on these diminishing habitat types. The lull in the real-estate market has given many landowners an opportunity to reflect on the future of their lands, thus providing a narrow window of time to invest in these shoreline protection projects at a fraction of the cost of full fair market acquisition. In addition, another benefit of this project is that while it is focused on the habitat benefits of the shoreline, more than 1,000 acres of family forest and substantial acres of wetlands will be protected, thus providing additional conservation benefits for the state's modest investment. These conservation easements secured under this program will be perpetual and drafted to further prevent the fragmentation and destruction of exisiting habitat. These easements will ensure that the sensitive shoreline habitat under easement will remain ecologically viable and productive for fish, game and wildlife. The conservation easements acquired will prohibit land use and development that negatively impacts the important habitat values and will require habitat management plans to ensure that long-term management will maximize the benefits of the shoreline and associated forested uplands. Furthermore, the Land Trust will seek opportunities to work with the landowners and other organizations to conduct restoration activities and secure angler access if appropriate. The budget outlined below covers expenses necessary to complete the goals of the program, including funding for personnel to negotiate and manage the conservation easement transactions; funding for a limited number of easements acquisitions; project-related expenses such as title work, mapping and appraisals; conservation easement stewardship funding for monitoring and defending the easements, and a very small amount of funding for travel. It is anticipated that this funding will be very highly leveraged through the landowner donations of conservation easements and the Minnesota Land Trusts' own fundraising efforts. To date more than 40 families have confirmed their desire to work with the Land Trust on protecting their properties and related shoreline habitat within the target areas.These 40+ potential properties represent more than 130,000 linear feet (25 miles) of shoreline habitat and more than 4,600 acres of forest land. These projects include the following targeted lakes and rivers: 1) 2 properties on DNR high-priority trout lakes, including Kemo and Moosehorn lakes; 2) 25 properties on signature Border Lakes, including Lake Vermillion, Burntside Lake and Rainy Lake; 3) 8 on North Shore trout streams such as the Knife, French, Flute Reed and Stewart Rivers; 4) 3 on Lake Superior; and 5) the remainder on other important water bodies in the region. Under this program, the Land Trust will prioritize these existing potential projects and seek additional opportunities for the protection of high-quality shoreline habitat. It is anticipated that the projects will be completed in FY 2011 and FY 2012, with the highest priority projects moving forward as soon as possible upon funding. Finally, with the assistance of stewardship funding, the Land Trust will monitor its easements annually and enforce them as necessary into the future. As part of its long-term stewardship obligations, the Land Trust will work to educate the landowners to use best management practices for their shoreline and connect the landowners with other partners such as the DNR, Trout Unlimited or others who may be able to improve the habitat quality. The Minnesota Land Trust will also work with these partners in identifying other potential projects which would have multiple public benefits.

Landowners donated $2,100,500 in easement value through this grant, greatly leveraging by 131% the $1,609,000 in grant funding provided by the Outdoor Heritage Fund. The amount of shoreland protected exceeded that proposed for the grant by 299%. ",,"The natural shoreline around Minnesota’s celebrated lakes and rivers comprises one of the most biologically important systems in the state for fish, game and wildlife. It is also one of its most threatened. In order to preserve this important component of Minnesota’s natural heritage, the Minnesota Land Trust proposed to implement Phase 3 of its Critical Shoreland Habitat Protection Program to protect important lakeshore and stream-side habitat in northeast Minnesota. Building on the success of Phases 1 and 2 of this program, this grant 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 third phase of the program, the Minnesota Land Trust strategically 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 proposed to protect 2.5 miles of threatened shoreline habitat by acquiring conservation easements from willing landowners to permanently protect a rich mosaic of naturally vegetated shoreline, forest habitat and wetlands on approximately 1,000 acres. The program targeted projects that would help complete gaps in existing public ownership, contain the highest-quality habitat, and provide the greatest leverage to the state.  The Land Trust sought donated easements in these areas whenever possible but also purchased easements to complete key complexes. Key outcomes from this project included: 1) healthy populations of trout and other fish species, waterfowl, and other species in greatest conservation need; 2) maintaining water quality of aquatic resources; 3) increased participation of private landowners in habitat projects; and 4) enhancement of prior state and local investments made in shoreland and forest conservation in the region.  Through this grant, the Land Trust protected 39,415 feet (7.46 miles) of critical shoreland habitat, exceeding the primary protection deliverable by 299%. We fell short on our target acres, achieving 64% of our secondary protection goal. In addition, the Land Trust exceeded its leverage goals by 131%, realizing $2,100,500 in landowner donations of easement value. Seven conservation easements were procured through this grant, as described in brief below and in larger context as uploaded project sheets: 1. Ann Lake (Killeen) - The 132-acre project protects nearly 1 mile of shoreland on Ann and Link lakes, and wetlands and mesic hardwood forests on rolling terrain between them. The property extends to the floodplain of the West Fork of the Prairie River, and borders George Washington State Forest on two sides. 2. Burntside Lake (YMCA 1) - This scenic property is located on the North Arm of Burntside Lake.  Burntside Lake is a gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and the area contains much of the same rugged character and scenery of that iconic wilderness.  This densely-forested property rises over 100-feet from the shoreline of Burntside Lake to a high ridgeline overlooking the lake. The property forms an important linkage with Burntside State Forest to the east and an additional Minnesota Land Trust conservation easement to the north.   3. Burntstde Lake (YMCA 2) - This unique project protects three forested islands in the North Arm of Burntside Lake near Ely.  Islands in Burntside Lake face significant development pressure from lakeside cabins that can impact scenery and negatively affect water quality. 4. King Lake (Guckenberg) - King Lake contains extensive stands of wild rice, one of Minnesota’s most important cultural and economic native plant species.  This conservation easement protects over 1.5 miles of shoreland on Kookoosh Lake and perennial streams that are tributary to it, in addition to the adjacent rice stands. The easement protects bogs, mesic forests, and wet meadows. Several parcels of state-owned property managed by St. Louis County as well as a public stream access easement associated with Spring Creek Aquatic Management Area are adjacent to the property.  5. Lake Superior (Johannson) - Lake Superior’s North Shore is one of Minnesota’s most iconic cultural and ecological resources, but also one of its most vulnerable. This property protects over 2,300 feet of craggy Lake Superior shoreline approximately two and a half miles south of the City of Two Harbors.  The property is located within a site of high biodiversity significance and the South-Central North Shore Important Bird Area.  6. Snake River (Giles) - Situated on a bend of the Snake River in northeastern Kanabec County, this 66-acre property protects scenic hardwood forests and over 2,000 feet of undeveloped shoreline along the Snake River. The river is popular with recreationists and is notable for its remote and wild character, and its diverse freshwater mussel and fish populations.  This property provides outstanding habitat connectivity, bordering the Snake River State Forest to its north.  These state forest lands form the core of a larger area of protected private and public lands along the Snake River that now totals close to 10,000 acres.  7. Tucker Lake (Johannson) - This spectacular property protects a scenic lake adjacent to the iconic Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in Cook County.  Located on the south edge of Tucker Lake, the property features over 2 miles of rugged shoreline characterized by craggy cliffs and bedrock outcrops.  Boreal forest and low-lying wetlands cover much of the property, which is located within a site of high biodiversity significance.  ",2015-07-01,2020-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Wayne,Ostlie,"Minnesota Land Trust","2356 University Avenue West Suite 240","St. Paul",MN,55114,651-917-6292,wostlie@mnland.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Carlton, Cook, Itasca, Kanabec, Koochiching, Lake, St. Louis","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/critical-shoreland-protection-program-phase-iii-1,,,,

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

Accomplishments are based on $5,000 per acre average and should be considered a minimum estimate. ","Approximately 470 acres of wildlife habitat will be protected through fee title acquisition and development as Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs, 350 acres) and Scientific & Natural Areas (SNAs, 120 acres).

WMAs protect lands and waters which have a high potential for wildlife production and develop and manage these lands and waters for public hunting, fishing and trapping, and for other compatible outdoor recreational uses such as wildlife watching and hiking. While highly successful, the current WMA system does not meet all present and future needs for wildlife habitat, wildlife population management, hunter access, and wildlife related recreation. This is notably true in the Prairie Ecological planning section where public ownership in many counties is 2 percent or less. DNR Section of Wildlife uses a GIS-based tool to identify the highest priority tracts for potential WMA acquisitions. This quantitative approach scores and ranks acquisition proposals based on a set of weighted criteria and creates a standardized method for evaluating proposed acquisitions on a statewide level.Criteria and weights are periodically reviewed and adapted to changing conditions and priorities. This ensures that funds are used to acquire available lands consistent with the statutory purpose of WMAs. The WMA acquisition program is guided by the 2002 Citizens' Committee report developed with a diverse group of eleven major stakeholder groups. Potential acquisition opportunities from willing sellers are coordinated with stakeholders and partners to eliminate duplication and identify concerns and support. Coordinating with partners has been successful to ensure we are working cooperatively and on priority parcels. Scientific & Natural Areas. The SNA Program will increase public hunting and fishing opportunities while protecting sites with outstanding natural values. Protection is targeted at high priority areas identified in the SNA Strategic Land Protection Plan with emphasis on prairie core areas identified in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan.

Priority is given to sites of high and outstanding biodiversity significance by the Minnesota Biological Survey, high quality native plant communities and habitat for endangered and threatened species. Larger parcels which adjoin other conservation lands, improve habitat management, are under imminent threat and are partially donated are also rated highly.Properties acquired through this appropriation require County Board of Commissioners’ written approval in the county of acquisition, will be designated as WMA or SNA through a Commissioner's Designation Order, brought up to minimum DNR standards, and listed on the DNR website.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We will accomplish strategic and targeted enhancements through contractors to conduct activities which support healthy, diverse and resilient habitats. Activities may include: 1) control invasive species 2) assist with oak regeneration through seeding and tree planting 3) firebreak development and maintenance as well as prescribed burns in fire-dependent forests, brushlands and wetlands 4) remove trees, mow and shear brush 5) maintain/restore open lands and brushland habitats 6) regenerate forests through site preparation, seed procurement/harvest, seeding, and planting 7) plant trees to reforest and restore habitats, add conifer to the landscape, provide thermal cover, diversify forests, and address ash stand management 8) restore floodplain and savanna forest habitat with tree planting, burning and mowing DNR managers collaborate with other State, Federal, County agencies and many conservation organizations to take a landscape view of forests and manage across administrative units. For example, DNR managers are working together with USFS managers to maintain and enhance rock outcrops that provide spring forage and mast for a variety of wildlife. This request seeks funding to restore and enhance habitat on public lands open to hunting, primarily but not limited to, WMA, AMA, SNA and State Forests. Strategic and targeted work will be accomplished through the added capacity of contractors hired to conduct activities that support healthy, diverse and resilient habitats.",,2024-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Ted,Dick,DNR,"1201 East Highway 2 ","Grand Rapids",MN,55744-3296,218-328-8869,ted.dick@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Cass, Chisago, Crow Wing, Fillmore, Goodhue, Hubbard, Itasca, Kittson, Koochiching, Lake, Le Sueur, Marshall, Meeker, Morrison, Olmsted, Pennington, Sibley, St. Louis, Todd, Wabasha, Wadena, Waseca, Washington, Winona","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-forest-enhancement-and-restoration-phase-4,,,,

",,"Prairie habitats once covered one-third of the state but presently less than 2% remain. Native prairie, other grasslands that provides habitat for wildlife, and wetlands are key components of functional prairie landscapes that have the capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions. While these appropriation only added 838 acres of grassland acres to the state through restoration, these funds enhanced a much larger area. Put another way, we restored and enhanced 24.3 square miles with these funds. That would be a strip of grassland habitat that would equate to a quarter mile wide stretching from Moorhead to Alexandria. None of this work was targeted at a specific species of wildlife. We used that approach that diverse productive habitats benefit a wide variety of both game and non-game wildlife species as well as any threatened or endangered species. In our restorations, we use very diverse seed mixes. This is obviously beneficial for pollinators. However, all those insects also create a food base for a large number of wildlife species. The structural diversity all those plant species create in the habitat allow every species to find an ideal niche in the grass as well as accommodates different life history stages of wildlife.","A total of 15,577 acres were affected: 838 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 14,739 in Enhance.",,,3632700,198500,,13,DNR,"State Government","We restored and enhanced a total of 15,577 grassland acres with 239 projects on Wildlife Management Areas, Scientific and Natural Areas, and Native Prairie Bank easements.","We select projects using a number of criteria and reviews to make sure the DNR were spending these funds in the best and most productive ways.

Brome conversion 6 Interseeding 60 Grassland restoration 838 Prescribed Fire 10,550 Herbaceous Invasive Control 346 Goat Browsing - woody removal 71 Woody Removal 3,492 TOTAL 15,577 This appropriation involved the Southwest Roving Crews. These Crews allow the DNR to be very flexible. While they have a list of projects to work on, they can also respond fairly quickly if there's an enhancement opportunity shows up. For instance, a short dry period in a part of the state may allow them to conduct a late summer prescribed fire which was not in any of the original work plans. Roving Crews have begun experimenting with different burn seasons. The DNR and partners continue to host field days each summer to learn about management practices such as prescribed fire, conservation grazing, etc. We also regularly review the scientific literature to make sure we are applying the most up to date techniques in our management. We were also able to continue our experimenting with goat browsing in the SE to control buckthorn. SNA staff will monitor these sites over the coming years. This may provide a way to reduce chemical use and integrate some new and emerging agricultural practices, goats, into habitat management for the benefit of wildlife and the agricultural economy. The DNR has traditionally focused on game species such as pheasants. However, there is more and more interest in pollinators and biodiversity. Fortunately, just about every study out there shows that management and restoration for pollinators and songbirds often creates the best habitat for game species. Diverse, healthy, productive habitat is good for a wide range of species. These projects can also increase the amount of carbon absorbed and stored by the plants and soils on these sites. All of these projects, directly or indirectly, fit within the state's Climate Action Framework and other climate related activities. As we continue to use these funds, costs for projects will probably increase. In the early years of these funds, we completed a number of simpler or easier projects, the low-hanging fruit. Now we are left with the larger and more challenging projects. In our budget table, we prorated our budget for individual projects by the acres accomplished.

Individual project details are outlined below.Hallock Riffles - Construction of the project was finished in fall 2021. A total of 2 riffles were installed to stabilize the grade near the Hallock Dam project. Forty-three fish species will benefit from riffle habitat that is important for spawning. Funding was split between M16 and ML17. Mound Creek Dam Removal and Channel Restoration - Construction of the project was completed at the end of 2019. After a dam failure in 2016, the Mound Creek dam was removed and replaced with a rock arch rapids. Additionally, the reservoir was restored to a naturally flowing river with a connected floodplain. This is critical habitat for Topeka Shiner and 27 other species of other fish that will benefit not only from passage upstream but from 4200 feet of restored high quality river channel. This project is within the Blue Mounds State Park and is an easily visible example for the public to see the type of restoration efforts going on in the State of Minnesota. Fredenberg Culverts - Construction finished in spring 2022. Two undersized culverts were identified on Fredenberg Creek as barriers to fish passage. The culverts were replaced to improve fish passage and restore more natural sediment transport. Twenty species of fish have benefited from added passage in the watershed by accessing additional, high-quality habitat. Project partners included the Cook County SWCD. Matching funds for the project included $100,000 from Save our Great Lakes grant and $20,000 from Cliffs Foundation.Hockamin Culverts - Construction on the first Hockamin culvert was completed in 2022; construction on the second culvert is anticipated for 2023. Two undersized culverts were identified as fish barriers on Hockamin Creek. Improving fish passage at the culverts will open up 23 miles of stream for 26 species of fish including brook trout. This project was done in partnership with the Lake County SWCD. Matching funds were provided by Save Our Great Lakes $337,318 and Crystal Bay Township $10,000 Carlos Dam Modification - The Lake Carlos project finished construction at the end of 2020. After the dam failed multiple times, a rock arch rapids design was implemented to allow fish passage at the site. There are 38 species of fish that benefit from passage at this site. This project reconnected about 3 miles of stream and 4407 acres of lake habitat. The Glacial Lake Partnership contributed $30,000 towards the project.

Black ash trees grow and thrive in swamps and occupy a unique wet niche where few other tree species grow. As a result, EAB impacts on black ash swamps will likely be extreme, resulting in dramatic changes in native plant communities and increasing the potential for invasion by exotic plant species. This project will increase our understanding of the ecological and hydrological impacts of EAB through the establishment of a network of research sites in black ash forests in Minnesota.

As of now all of the classes and festivals have been cancelled and the galleries and gift shops are uncertain about when they will re-open and whether the tourist economy will pick up enough to keep them in business. My artistic and financial plans for this upcoming year have changed drastically, and living through this pandemic is impacting the direction of my artistic expression. My goal here is to focus on a project that will strengthen my skills in green woodworking and express my gratitude for the local ecosystem and the harvesting knowledge that has been passed down through generations. I will use the traditional food storage containers of my Scandinavian ancestors to celebrate the traditional foods of this place, thereby blending cultures and ideas and honoring the importance of food to our communities. Throughout my artistic career I have received numerous grants and have been part of a two-year residency program. These experiences have taught me about the importance of budgeting and spending money wisely, carrying a project through to completion and reporting on the project. Last spring, I applied to hold an exhibition of artistic brooms, dustpans, wooden bowls and shrink boxes at Johnson Heritage post-Art Gallery in Grand Marias, and my acceptance for a show in January of 2020 gave me the opportunity to create a vision and follow through to create something truly unique and well-received. My pure passion about this particular project is another confidence-builder. I am concerned about the security of the world's food systems, which makes this project, and its messages, a priority.I will know that I have succeeded with this project when I create the six shrink boxes and push my skill level through learning new methods for carving and painting. My success will also be measured through the donation of the three containers to North House Folk School. Throughout the project I will journal about the personal impacts this work and the ideas of food security in our local communities brings about in me. Furthermore, I will post-photos and thoughts to social media throughout this project and then track public response to the work through feedback on the social media platforms and the comments section on my website.","My main goal was to use the traditional food storage containers of my Scandinavian ancestors to celebrate the traditional foods of this place, thereby blending cultures and ideas and honoring the importance of food to our communities.

The provided funding for this project would allow me to further expand upon my current focus on painting my own stories, to branch out and begin to visually capture the regional stories of those communities along Minnesota's North Shore. I am absolutely confident in my completion of this project within the proposed timeline as I have already been in communication and confirmed exhibition support from galleries in two of the three listed counties. I have identified and planned with an Ojibwe author was has agreed to provide translation support for me as I work to complete this project. In addition, I have been in contact with two local businesses who have agreed to set aside various resources (time, supplies, staff support) beginning in September through December 2020. Once I have been notified of grant award, I will develop a planning timeline in order for me to monitor my progress in completion the project proposal. The timeline will be broken into the following five categories, 1. research activities and selection of historical figure which includes the drafting of essays, 2. compositional planning, sketching, and completion of the five pieces, 3. archival scanning and image services, 4. framing of completed pieces, and 5. exhibition planning and delivery to partnering galleries/exhibition spaces. I will establish a detailed monthly and weekly progress goal record to ensure that I am completing the activities within the five outlined categories.","The grant funding allowed for me to complete five portraits of five notable Ojibwe Minnesota selected through community virtual feedback.

George Borga, and 5, Sam Zimmerman, Sr. During my research in creating these paintings, I met with tribal members, descendants of the selected figures, enrolled in Ojibwe language classes to aid in my research and conversations leading to a better understanding in which to approach each of the selected figures.","Achieved Most of the Proposed Outcomes",,,2000,,,,"Samuel J.

Each video will have a runtime of around 8 to 10 minutes. The funding requested in this grant will help pay for my time to produce the videos. From previous videos, I've found that they take about one day to shoot assuming the conditions are good and one day to edit each 8 to 10 minute video. That's a significant time to invest in a project without knowing whether or not it will provide a return on investment. During each video, I'm also creating landscape photography. Because I plan on using the grant funding to pay for my time to make the videos and the photos I make while filming, the money will be used directly to meet the state goal of sustaining artists and arts. I've completed ARAC grants consistently and on time in the past, and I will do so again. Additionally, the number of videos I'm planning on producing is only a slight increase from those that I've made in the past. I'll know whether or not I succeed based on the number of videos I produce and if they have an 8 to 10 minute runtime. Additionally, each new video that I've posted on YouTube typically sees at least 200 views in the first week after I release the video. I'll be monitoring the videos to hit that. My stretch goal for this project is to increase the number of views that each video receives in the first week by 5% each video.","The artistic goal of this project was to produce five videos about winter photography. The topics were to be instructional topics and additional topics chosen by social media feedback. I achieved those goals with a range of topics. My fans enjoyed the vlog-style adventures more than the videos devoted specifically to instruction, so that's what I've been producing since the project ended. In addition to producing videos, I also produced landscape photography images when recording. The videos generated 2,082 first week watches for a total of 153.1 hours of total watch time.

It will allow me to carry on with my music, sell product and have new work to perform. My fans always comment they like it when I sing the music of the more famous artists/performers, however, we prefer your original music. I am thrilled to be inspired again to create new music and appreciate the opportunity to be paid for my musical work. The grant makes it possible for me to continue my profession which has been so generous to me it'd be a huge shift to find another line of employment especially at my age one that could cover all my financial responsibilities and way too late in life to switch carriers.

Production refers to studio time, engineering, recording, editing, and mixing of all music tracks needed to best honor the artistic vision of this project.

I can only say that I hope I have provided that confidence.My audiences have regularly informed me of how they feel about my recordings in the past, and that feedback has been remarkably positive. This feedback is what has kept me going during the difficult times my decades of recording and performing. However, the first assessment will come from myself and the producer, Al Oikari; if the work excites and inspires us, as we listen form the standpoint of a person dealing with today's issues, that will be the first evidence of success in being true to the artistic vision. The second assessment would be after the fact, when I hear from audiences how the music and its message has affected them. If it has helped them to make sense of the current world situation, and has increased their inspiration for togetherness, and if it has enhanced their feeling of hope and healing, then i will truly know that it has been successful.","The artistic goals of Seventh Arrow were achieved first with dialogue between myself and the other performers. Relating stories to them about how each song was inspired, as well as its intent, was key to drawing out needed emotions in performances, whether vocally, or by instrument. Performers generally rehearsed their parts at home, due to Covid, then would perform them when the next recording session could be scheduled. It was an inspiring process, the most challenging part being to find session time between myriad Covid and health caused complications. This pace felt very right for the times we were living through. The artistic goals have been achieved quite well. Though we do not yet have final mixes, this is precisely because we are not compromising the artistic goals.

I can also ?fill? each shape with a color that corresponds to the colors of plexiglass I have available to see a mock-up of what the finished piece will look like. The 1/4 colored plexi shapes are cut and then cemented to a large piece of clear plexiglass. The piece will be framed and suspended so that light from the back will show through.

I scan and manually trace the drawings and then choose the colors instead of using the colors from the color separation. The digital colors were much different than the the actual colors of the drawing because the computer uses an RGB color model. I would have ended up choosing them manually anyway.

Ballast water is collected in one body of water and discharged into another body of water, usually large distances apart. At least one new invasive species is found in the Great Lakes every year, with Lake Superior being particularly at risk. Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey will test methods of decontaminating ballast water on board a working ship with an emphasis on techniques that can be used in emergencies such as a grounded ship. Overall Project Outcome and Results This project was part of Phase III of an overall effort to produce an Emergency Response Guide to Handling Ballast Water to Control Non-Indigenous Species. Phase I ($25,000) was funded by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and resulted in a study plan entitled ""Mixing Biocides into Ships' Ballast Water: Efficiency of Novel Methods."" Phase II ($185,000) was funded by the Great Lakes Fisheries Trust and studied in-line injection, bulk dye dosing, perforated hose dosing, and passive mixing methods, such as ship's motion. Similar to Phase II, this effort (Phase III) prepared ballast tank mixing and sampling equipment, field work on a working ship to trial promising ballast mixing methods, and analysis/report. The active methods being studied in Phase III are venturi eductors and air lifts. The outcome will be the incorporation of these methods (if determined to be effective and practical) into a best practices guide for treating the ballast water of ships either: Arriving in port with high risk ballast water, Leaving a port that contains ballast known to be high risk for the destination port, or Grounded and laden with high risk, untreated ballast water. Project Results Use and Dissemination Preliminary information from Result 1 and Result 2 activities were shared at the May 18, 2010 Great Lakes Ballast Water Collaborative meeting in Montreal, QC and at the June 1, 2010 Lake Superior Binational Program - Invasive Species Workshop in Duluth, MN.

Projects were then ranked based on priorities including, T&E species, Conservation Plan Focus Areas (e.g. the MN Prairie Plan), size of the complex area, water quality benefits, and overall cost to complete. Once projects were selected for funding, Pheasants Forever restoration staff worked closely with area managers in order to develop restoration/enhancement plans. Once those plans were developed they were written into a statement of work that was sent to numerous contractors in order to solicit competitive bids following PF's procurement policy. Once a contractor has been awarded the contract, PF and agency staff monitored the restoration/enhancement work to ensure it was completed adequately. Pheasants Forever had proposed to enhance 7,800 acres of uplands and restore 45 acres of wetlands. We did fall short of our upland goal by enhancing 7,275 acres, as we gave priority to wetland restoration projects. This, however, caused us to far exceed our goal and restore 952 wetland acres, thus over-achieving our total acre goal by 382 acres.

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

PF does this by working with agency partners to develop restoration and enhancement plans and hiring local, private contractors to complete work. Examples of habitat improvements include restoring wetlands, removing invasive trees, conducting conservation grazing, and seeding grasslands with high-diversity native seed mixes.","Grassland-wetland ecosystems require regular disturbance to preserve their functionality and quality to positively impact fish, wildlife, and the public. Lack of disturbance on native and restored prairies has resulted in degraded habitats characterized by low plant diversity, presence of non-native or invasive species, and the spread of voluntary trees into open prairie. Wetlands embedded in these grasslands require restoration to achieve their fullest functionality, or have structures that need repair. The Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (MPCP) identifies restoration and enhancement as two strategies to combat these issues. In accordance with this plan, Pheasants Forever has created the Enhanced Public Lands - Grasslands program to restore and enhance grassland and wetland habitats on existing WMAs, WPAs, and NWRs (many of which were purchased in sub-optimal conditions) in the prairie, forest/prairie transition, and metro regions. Pheasants Forever will utilize a previously developed Request for Proposals (RFP) and process to evaluate projects submitted by agency partners.

Mowing will be used as needed to manage annual weed pressure to ensure establishment. 3) Prescribed burning: This is the primary tool for managing grassland habitat as it is cost effective, increases vigor by removing built up litter, and sets back invasive woody species. 4) Conservation Grazing: This is an important enhancement tool for sites that are difficult to conduct prescribed fires or need to target specific enhancement needs (e.g. cool season grass suppression, tree invasion, etc.). Permanent infrastructure with a lifespan of 30+ years will be installed to conduct conservation grazing plans written to benefit wildlife. 5) Tree Removal: Research has shown that invasive trees are detrimental to prairie/grassland wildlife and thus will be removed with this proposal. These trees reduce nesting success by providing perches for aerial predators, dens for mammalian predators, and increases predator efficiency by creating habitat edges and fragmenting habitat. Predators are highly effective at predating both nests and nesting birds, especially in fragmented low quality habitat. Restoring or enhancing habitat to its highest function in these areas will not only greatly benefit fish and wildlife populations, but also reduce future management costs (by creating robust, better self-regulating ecosystems), and improve the enjoyment of the area by the public.",,2024-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Becca,Kludt,"Pheasants Forever, Inc.","547 5th St SW ",Perham,MN,56573,218-220-5391,bkludt@pheasantsforever.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Becker, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Grant, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, Martin, Meeker, Mower, Murray, Norman, Otter Tail, Pipestone, Pope, Redwood, Renville, Rock, Sibley, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Washington, Watonwan, Wright, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/enhanced-public-land-grasslands-phase-vii,,,,

The proposed project will aid in more day-to-day attendance by reinvigorating the organization and inspiring the creative atmosphere. This will generate a genuine excitement in its members further reinforcing their consistent attendance. Our second goal is to inspire greater year-to-year retention. Given the improved quality of the instruments, students will be motivated to return year after year to such an attractive program. Finally, we would like to continue instilling pride in our members. With new equipment, students will have a greater sense of pride in their program, allowing all involved to generate more and more passion that can be harnessed to move the program forward. Firstly, we will again this year be using an intake survey that will help us identify the strengths and concerns of students and their parents. This survey will address the programs as a whole. Secondly, we'll be keeping a grid of student attendance and keep an eye on our trends. As we've written, our program has been expanding, and we expect it to continue to do so. Day-to-day attendance has been somewhat inconsistent. Though this is largely because our students are very involved in their school's athletic and fine arts programs, as well as other community organizations. While we are happy to be flexible for these situations, we still intend to keep record of attendances and address other issues that may be contributing to attendance losses.","Since receipt, front ensemble absences decreased from an average of 2 to 0-1 per day. As a result, the program was able to develop quicker without having to account for constant absences. Anecdotally, Phoenix Drumline was named Minnesota Percussion Association’s Independent A Class Champions for the second year in a row. They also competed and placed 17th at Winter Guard International’s Championships in Dayton, Ohio.

There may even be cases where the projector supplements a theatre production. Once the films have been scheduled and viewed, follow-up discussion will take place to determine the tastes and interests that best appeal to our local audiences. These decisions will also be based on audience surveys, which may include a provided paper form and/or an online survey such as Survey Monkey. Depending on results, we may add more viewings to the original schedule and offer a wider range of topics.","The independent film, Neither Wolf Nor Dog was a sellout success (254).

A primary concern about harvesting forest biomass to generate renewable energy is the long-term impacts these harvests will have on soil nutrients and long-term ecosystem production, such as forest growth, carbon storage, and wildlife habitat. With this appropriation, scientists at the University of Minnesota's Department of Forest Resources are evaluating the ecological impacts of forest biomass harvesting in northern Minnesota. Results from this effort will be used by the energy industry and forestry professionals in both the public and private sector to guide long-term management that maximizes harvesting without negatively impacting forest productivity and ecological integrity.

A primary concern about harvesting forest biomass to generate renewable energy is the long-term impacts these harvests will have on soil nutrients and long-term ecosystem productivity, particularly in forests growing on nutrient poor soils. This project was designed to increase our understanding of the ecological impacts of biomass harvesting through establishment of a network of research sites in forests on nutrient poor soils. Treatments representing various levels of biomass removal and live-tree retention were implemented at four large-scale (80 acre) research sites in Becker, Hubbard, and Wadena Counties and were used to evaluate the importance of post-harvest slash and live-tree retention in maintaining the resilience and sustainability of jack pine forests under different biomass harvesting regimes. Treatments included current site-level guidelines for slash retention to allow for evaluations of the effectiveness of this practice at reducing impacts on long-term soil nutrients and forest vegetation. Field measurements from these sites were used to model the long-term effects of repeated biomass removals on ecosystem productivity. Results from this project indicate that there is no difference in post-harvest slash levels between areas in which slash was retained to meet current site-level guidelines and in places in which whole trees were harvested (i.e., no slash deliberately retained). The overall levels of slash retention in these areas were half those found after similar treatments in aspen-dominated forests on nutrient rich sites, highlighting the potential for greater nutrient depletion following biomass harvesting on nutrient poor sites and suggest a need for refinement of site-level guidelines to increase retention levels for nutrient poor soils. Long-term field data and model results indicate that biomass harvests that retain less than 40% of available residues may result in lower soil carbon stocks after several harvest rotations. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< The results of this project have been shared on numerous occasions with resource professionals, policy makers, citizens, and scientists over the past three years in efforts to inform forest conservation decisions regarding biomass harvesting impacts.

It became apparent that the region creates few opportunities for children to engage in self-directed learning experiences in social settings; in particular, opportunities that create access to arts, culture, and heritage. This is still true today. Relying on organizations in the Twin Cities to provide arts access and arts education in hard to reach rural communities is not sustainable and will not achieve significant reach to these under-served communities. The Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota presents a unique opportunity to significantly increase, sustain, and grow access to informal learning for a large portion of greater Minnesota. As a growing regional resource, CMSM is committed to working toward the Legacy Fund goals of actively creating opportunities for all Minnesotans to get directly connected to the diverse arts, culture, and heritage of Minnesota. Legacy Funding presents an opportunity to overcome barriers of access. CMSM's proposal makes the most of these opportunities by engaging the public, and those with the most barriers to participation, in the exhibit development process; and by connecting more families to Minnesota's arts, culture, and heritage.","The Greater Mankato family population is booming, and according to the last census, overall population has increased 21%. However, the population of many rural counties in our region is shrinking. Since its founding through the passion of early childhood specialists in 2006, CMSM has been a community resource dedicated to taking a well thought out approach to developing learning experiences with the involvement of children, families, and folks throughout the community. From the volunteer developed initial traveling exhibits, to the community made TapeScape featured in Exhibit Files, to the development of an innovative Learning Experience Master Plan, CMSM has been built on community engagement. Involved decision makers include CMSM's board of directors, steering committee, learning experience advisory committee, access and outreach committee, City Center Partnership, Greater Mankato Area United Way, staff, consultants, and many others. An environmental scan, feasibility study, case studies, surveys, and evaluations have all concluded that informal learning experiences, especially those fostering creativity, are needed in southern Minnesota.

Furthermore, the Fiber Arts Guild added new members, reactivated three old ones and made valuable new contacts with other rag rug enthusiasts and groups. 2: We asked participants if they had ever attended a seminar/class about rag rug weaving prior to this event and found that this event was unique to our region. Many had not attended any folk arts event prior to our event. We also asked participants which level they considered themselves to be at artistically. We also measured how many participants would be interested in further classes/seminars. A high number (over 85 %) indicated they were.

","DNR completed intensive field monitoring on 75 timber harvest sites in ten targeted watersheds in northern and central Minnesota. Sampling was conducted proportionately to the number of timber harvests in each ownership class (County, Federal, Industry, NIPF, State, Tribal). We monitored water quality best management practice (BMP) and other sustainable forest management implementation. Lower private landowner participation and increased contracting costs resulted in a smaller than anticipated sample this year.

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

For example some partial harvesting is difficult to distinguish from wind damage. Also time sequence is required to detect difference between forest harvesting and some land conversions such as pasturing. In the four target watersheds foresters monitored 34 sites for implementation of forest management guidelines and water quality best management practices. About 1/3 of the sites planned for monitoring in FY14 were completed; the remainder will be completed by Sept 31 2014.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2013, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,,,,,"U of MN","Public College/University","PROJECT OVERVIEW Invasive plants cause considerable ecological and economic damage in Minnesota and their control is often difficult to achieve in a long-term cost-effective manner. Although not immune from invasion, healthy forests may be somewhat resistant to invasion; therefore management aimed at maintaining, restoring, or enhancing key forest characteristics might be a useful strategy for slowing forest invasion. Scientists from the University of Minnesota's Department of Forest Resources will use this appropriation to study 80 different forest sites in order to determine the links between forest attributes and plant invasion. Findings will be used to make recommendations for how to best manage forests to resist invasive species. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The primary project goal was to identify forest characteristics effective as deterrents to invasive plants. Healthy forests are likely more resistant to invaders, so management to enhance these key characteristics might slow the spread of invaders. Invasive plants sometimes form dense thickets that affect recreation and wildlife and exclude native plant species. To determine how various site characteristics affected the abundance of common buckthorn and other invaders, we surveyed plant diversity in 67 sites in central and southern Minnesota. At each site, we measured environmental characteristics to simultaneously account for other factors that might influence invasibility. Buckthorn was most abundant in sites with sparse leaf litter, where seed availability was high, and where native plant diversity was low. Both a greenhouse experiment and a second field study indicated that introduced earthworms also benefit germinating invasive plants by eliminating leaf litter. We propose the idea of ""preventive environmental care"" that, like preventative medicine, manages forests to maintain ""wellness"". Although not a panacea for reducing invasion, it is worth considering given the challenges of controlling established invasive species. We suggest managers enhance the competitive challenge to invaders by increasing the diversity of native species by seeding natives and/or reducing the density of white-tailed deer, a species that severely impacts native forest plants. Furthermore, timber harvests should be limited to the winter season and trail maintenance should be done in a way that limits disturbance. This will help maintain intact native understory plants and litter layers, important deterrents to invasive plant establishment. However, none of these approaches are likely to be successful without a strong effort to control landscape level seed availability. Collaborative management with neighboring landowners is crucial to any effort that hopes to reduce invasibility. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION To summarize results from the project and provide guidelines for management, we prepared a pamphlet that included all aspects of the research, as it pertains to the invasion of buckthorn. The pamphlet also provides suggestions for pre-invasion management to reduce invasibility, the main focus of the ""Healthy Forests"" research project. We distributed the pamphlet to all participants at a symposium held on August 14, 2013. The pamphlet is available as a pdf from the project website, http://forestecology.cfans.umn.edu/Research/Buckthorn/index.htm. We presented talks at the Upper Midwest Invasive Species conference (a regional meeting focused on invasive species) and the Ecological Society of America conference (an international conference focusing on all aspects of ecology) in 2012 and 2013. The talks focused on measuring propagule pressure, the greenhouse study, the relationship between earthworm and buckthorn buckthorn, and the effects of native species diversity on buckthorn abundance. On August 14, we hosted a symposium on the St. Paul campus that brought together managers, researchers, and private landowners to share the latest information on invasive plants in Minnesota forests. In addition to talks based on this LCCMR project, other speakers presented information about buckthorn invasion on the prairie-forest border in west central Minnesota, garlic mustard (another common plant invader in Minnesota's forests) as a driver of species invasion, management of buckthorn from a forester's perspective, and management efforts to control other common invasive plants. The symposium was attended by 100 people. The project website has links to recordings of all the symposium talks, as well as links to the MS Access database, species lists from all survey sites, and a photo gallery. We have published one paper (""Community phylogenetic diversity and abiotic site characteristics influence abundance of the invasive plant Rhamnus cathartica L."") in the Journal of Plant Ecology. A second paper based on results from our greenhouse experiment (Native plant diversity and introduced earthworms have contrasting effects on the success of invasive plants"") has been submitted to the peer-reviewed journal Biological Invasions. More papers are in preparation including one focusing on propagule pressure and another that documents the relationship between earthworms and buckthorn abundance.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2013-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Peter,Reich,"U of MN","220f Green Hall, Upper Buford Circle","St. Paul",MN,55108,"(612) 624-4270",preich@umn.edu,,"University of Minnesota ",,"Le Sueur, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Nicollet, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pine, Ramsey, Rice, Roseau, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, St. Louis, Steele, Todd, Wabasha, Wadena, Waseca, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/healthy-forests-resist-invasion,,,,

Recently observed increases in mortality rates amongst some moose in northeastern Minnesota have led to concern that the population there may be starting a decline like that seen in the northwestern part of the state, where moose populations fell from over 4,000 to fewer than 100 in less than 20 years. Researchers from the Natural Resources Research Institute at the University of Minnesota - Duluth, are using this appropriation to determine what factors may be responsible for increases in moose mortality rates in northeastern Minnesota in order to determine if it is possible to slow or prevent significant, long-term decline in the moose population there. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Moose are one of Minnesota's most prized wildlife species. In less than 20 years moose in northwestern Minnesota declined from over 4,000 to fewer than 100. The northeastern Minnesota moose population, which had over 7,000 moose until 2009, is in the middle of what appears to be a similar decline. Higher mortality in radiocollared moose is correlated with warmer temperatures. We used satellite collars to track moose in northeastern Minnesota and collected GPS locations day and night 365 days a year. Over 2 million moose locations and activity data were obtained. Specific habitats needed by moose were identified using the satellite collars. Spatial distribution and availability of habitat types has guided identification of specific sites for enhancement, protection, or acquisition. Habitat guidelines and recommendations help private and public land managers provide the best possible habitat for moose. The project was part of a coordinated effort involving many resource management agencies to determine if it is possible to slow or prevent a decline in the northeastern MN moose population. Public outreach and education was accomplished with a website that provides information on moose in Minnesota and allowed the public to report almost 2,000 moose sightings. The Minnesota Zoo developed an on-site informational kiosk about Minnesota moose and zoo educators developed a curriculum for teacher workshops to be held both at the zoo and at the Boulder Lake Environmental Learning Center near Duluth. We gave over 70 moose presentations during the project, and continue to give presentations now. The project combined research and education to increase public understanding of Minnesota moose now and in the future. Results and data from this project are still being used in current projects. We expect that there will be at least 2 more M.S. theses, 5 peer-reviewed publications, and additional NRRI Technical Reports developed from the data collected in this project that will be used to improve moose management. We also continue to work with the MN DNR adult and calf moose mortality projects using data and expertise obtained during this moose research project, and we have an ongoing collaboration with the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley with a deer-moose parasite project and a moose-wolf predation project. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The project has had relatively wide dissemination, both in formal settings and in working with DNR and other resource management agencies to implement recommendations arising from the project. We gave over 70 presentations to the public about this project. We also developed a moose website that is used extensively by both biologists and the public. We will continue to update this website in the future. In addition, because of the interest in moose, the project has received attention from the media, with newspaper and magazine articles, and radio and television interviews. Among the media outlets are the Duluth News Tribune, Minneapolis Star Tribune, and St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch, local TV stations, Minnesota Public Radio, Duluth News Tribune, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Los Angeles Times, BBC in Ontario and Newfoundland, Sweden Public Radio, Toronto Star, and others. Although not limited to this project, Moen was also asked by the DNR to present on the current status of moose in Minnesota at the 2014 Roundtable, and also gave testimony to the Environment and Natural Resources Policy Committee on February 25, 2014. Finally, there are several peer-reviewed publications, theses, and technical reports that have arisen from work conducted on this project. Some of these publications are currently being peer-reviewed.

A pristine place to get-away, recharge and commune with nature. The art and crafts of the area reflect that. They are, predominantly, folk arts and plein air painting. With this show, I want to raise the awareness of the vitality of sculpture. To present a show of disparate approaches to sculpture. This Eden is in peril, from invasive species, warmer wetter weather and a disregard of multinational organizations who have their own agenda. We are probably facing environmental catastrophe, a sense of apocalyptic anxiety looms on the horizon of ""Arcadia"". I will focus on this evolving dynamic through sculpture in bronze and wood. This is a singular moment in the history of the world. My work will address some of those issues with bronze and wooden voices. I have an informed and unique vision, which though sometimes provocative, many people relate to. My goal is for my work to be visceral and to evoke a sense of otherness, compassion and even a bit of humor. To come to terms with these times and events with as much clarity and honesty as I can muster. I will assess measurable outcomes through monitoring my social media pages the comments left at the Gallery. I have been sculpting for over 35 years and have been in many group shows and mounted three solo exhibitions. Each of the solo exhibitions encompassed a couple years of planning and making. I have also completed several commissions on my own and in concert with other artists. My experience is that I work within budget and complete projects on time. I know budgets and time-management. For nine years, I managed multiple overlapping campaigns and budgets when I worked as Community Development Co-ordinator for the AIDS Committee of Thunder Bay. Attendees will be invited to leave their thoughts and reactions to the show. Record of attendance numbers. This is a very astute art community, I am looking forward to their comments and the conversations I have with viewers when I am present. The show is also scheduled to coincide with the Fisherman's Picnic, the first week end in August, which will bring many more people through the doors of the Gallery. The annual Picnic is the most popular event of the year. So beyond the numerical tallies, I will solicit reactions from the attendees with comment cards to rate the show (1 to 10) and record any thoughts or reactions. This idea just occurred to me. I will think more carefully of the questions which will bring forth the information: like how do people relate to sculpture in this very screen oriented culture, how do they see it, feel it, are they engaged?)","From ""Flotsam and Jetsam"" to ""The Wreck of Time: a Covid Exhibit"" was a short impromptu step.

I live here and I am a jazz guitarist… not a typical Indian I am. It’s a small and intimate community. Most Native American artists and musicians here are unwilling to take their art and music beyond the reservation. I have been a source of inspiration to artists here wanting to do something considered to be “non-native.” My success gives strength to those who want to move beyond in performing arts and visual arts. I am also the son of another artist, George Morrison, who lived here in his later life and was an inspiration to native artists because he created art that pushed the boundaries of what was considered to be “Indian Art.” He showed others it was ok to move beyond their culture yet remain firmly rooted in who they were and even strengthen their roots. I feel I am following in my father’s footsteps by pushing the boundaries with jazz guitar. I am a jazz guitar player who happens to be Indian. It will be exciting to bring my CD beyond the rez to Duluth, the Twin Cities and the North Shore and when it is noted that I am Native and live on the reservation it will have quite an impact. I think it brings part of the reservation to them and perhaps sparks interest in Grand Portage and native culture. My goal is to further my career with an original CD which will serve as a prime example of my music using my own voice and being recognized as such. It will illustrate my style as a composer and player. This will present opportunities for larger venues, tours, CDs and other musical endeavors. Two aspects are to be evaluated: composition and record quality. Composition. I want to write songs that flow and tell a story using elements of music and performance. Songs that are to be expressive and lyrical. Conversational. I will use the basic jazz toolbox of harmony, rhythm and melody and the advanced guitar skills I’ve gained. Originality is key. I want people to know it’s me. Recording. The goal is to capture the tone of my guitar as I played it. The recording is to be warm not muddy, clear not tinny, punchy and not overbearing. The mix is to be well balanced and sound good on all types of systems. I have knowledge of jazz composition, skills in guitar and experience in recording tech together with equipment required to complete such a task. I have kept track of hours worked on projects so I know how much time I need to complete this task. Existing studio: •acoustically isolated sound booth •high-end mic preamp, compressor (Warm Audio wa-73, wa-76) •2 new mics (Sennheiser e906, MXL R144 Ribbon) •new recording software (Propellerhead Reason 10.5) This is extremely exciting because I can faithfully capture the sound of my guitar as I want it. And tone is EVERYTHING to a guitarist. I like a warm, rich and full sound for jazz. I use an Eastman AR905CE guitar through a Mamba 10” Wedge Amp. I have Polytone and Mesa amps, a Strat, Taylor and Ibanez JS-2450 for different styles and sounds. I recently completed three successful projects in my new studio: 1) 8 tracks for my new Musical Impressions (sample) 2) two music tracks for a radio show 3) promo CD for the band Rox ‘n Soul I will distribute a demo CD of the finished songs to be screened in its entirety. It’s a success when I have a professionally recorded CD of well written jazz tunes suitable to promote and distribute which will prompt interest and a warm response from peers, critics and listeners alike. Composition evaluation: I will ask peers to critique my writing asking about structure, harmony, originality, etc. and all the goals I stated in the previous section that I want to achieve. I will listen to their comments and make changes until satisfied. Recording evaluation: Peers and professionals will listen for the qualities stated above on different sound systems (home, tv, car, etc.). This indicates how it will sound across systems.","This CD is a good example of my writing, playing and recording. It is evaluated in these three areas together with the overall sound. It illustrates the ability to produce professional level recordings suited for release. Concerning the writing of the songs. Harmonically they are well structured and show in-depth knowledge of jazz harmony. The chords are standard jazz chords like E13b9sus andCmaj7#5 are used in strategic places without taking away from the ""easy listening"" experience. The tunes modulate at key moments and to unexpected keys presenting what I call ""a magical moment"" to the listener. The melodies are written straight from the mind without visualizing the guitar fretboard. This freed me from any ""rules"" that bind my mind to a melody. Later when rehearsing, some changes were made to the chord progression and/or melody to better suit the melodic phrasing on the guitar. Live recording of an amp (vs direct to console) was achieved better than expected with the new ribbon mic.","Achieved Proposed Outcomes",,,4000,,,,"Briand M.

Not many people with whom I have spoken are aware of the history and culture surrounding arborglyphs. I will further have the opportunity to speak of the ethics of arborglyphs versus ?tree graffiti? and the impacts that these practices have on culture, wilderness experiences and tree health. Furthermore, I believe that my community is comprised not only of the people which whom I interact but also the earth, water, plants and animals that are around me. I view this project as an opportunity for me to be in collaboration with the saplings I carve, etch and wrap in various ways. This project will connect me more deeply to this community and will make me a more responsible member of this wider community since I do not want my art form to impact my surroundings negatively. Through this project I will bring an art form that has been practiced by indigenous and immigrant cultures worldwide into a new conceptual landscape and continue to explore ways to stand out in a growing field of broom artists. I will develop a unique style of embellishments for my broom handles and I will also create a platform for conversations about arborglyphs versus ?tree graffiti? and the ethics surrounding these practices. Measurable outcomes for this process will consist of the number of handles I create through the use of these arborglyph techniques and other methods for influencing the growth form of the saplings, as well as the income from sales of these brooms. I will track the number of educational brochures distributed as well as opportunities for conversations about arborglyphs. Throughout my artistic career I have received a few grants and have been part of a two-year residency program. These experiences have taught me about the importance of spending money wisely, carrying a project through to completion and reporting on the project. Last spring, I applied to hold an exhibition of artistic brooms and dustpans at Johnson Heritage post-Art Gallery in Grand Marias, and my acceptance for a show in January of 2020 gave me the opportunity to create a vision and follow through to create something truly unique and well-received. My pure interest and excitement about this particular project is another confidence-builder. I have envisioned these ideas for a long time and I am ready to make this a priority.To understand whether this project was a success, I will track the number of broom handles successfully created through the processes of using arborglyphs and other unique forms as compared to the number of attempts. I will track my time invested into this project and the number of sales and resulting income from this new style of broom. I will also track public response to the work through tracking feedback in person, through social media and through the comments section on my website. If I can deem this work a success this year, I plan to submit one of these brooms to a competition held next year at the national broom makers gathering, which will allow me a further gauge of the success of this project.","My artistic goals for this project we comprised of three parts, all of which I accomplished. Firstly, I learned about and used methods for creating arborglyphs on saplings. Arborglyphs are comprised of images, patterns or words carved into the bark of living trees, which then heal over leaving a scar on the surface. This project allowed me to experiment with combination of carving methods, species and patterns that achieve my goals. Secondly, I explored methods for influencing the growth patterns of living saplings in ways to create visually compelling broom handles. I worked towards this goal by finding suitable, long lasting materials with which to wrap saplings to create spiraled broom handles. My third objective was to create an educational brochure about the cultural history and ethics of arborglyphs to be distributed with each broom I sell that features this process and allowed me to use this project as a platform of discussion on history and ethics.","Achieved Proposed Outcomes",,,2900,,,,"Marybeth Garmoe",Individual,"Individual Artist Project Grant (INDIVIDUALS ONLY)",,"I will create unique artistic sapling broom handles through exploring the use of arborglyphs and methods for influencing the shape of saplings' growth.

Because July and August are the heart of the summer tourism season, not only will my community include local Cook County residents, but it will also include an extended community of visitors to the North Shore. The three week exhibition is open to the public, free of charge. The advertising is provided by the Gallery, Visit Cook County, which includes social and print media. My contact with Visit Cook County records indicated that 1,000,000 to 1,300,000 visitors travel the North Shore each Summer. Specifically, JHP Gallery averages 200 people during July and August Exhibition Openings, and 1000 gallery visitors per week during the summer. ( Note: I used the JHP statistics to answer the number of audience benefiting question below) My community also benefits by engaging with sculpture not typically exhibited in Cook County. Having transplanted here three years ago, I have yet to exhibit a personal body of work. While I have connected with the North Shore community members through teaching at the Art Colony, partnering on public art initiatives, and taking on local welding fabrication jobs, I have not had the opportunity to express my internal voice of sculpture to the community. I want to accomplish the expansion of my studio practice to include a body of work that emerges from personal curiosity rather than relying solely on public art commissions.

With Grand Portage having the most impact of the six reservation in Minnesota from colonization and coercive assimilation policies, much of the community is at a significant lost in terms of cultural identity. I hope my work will inspire all people that the Ojibway culture is still alive. I hope that people understand the importance of art and that stories of history and culture can be visually told through art. One of the fist and foremost accomplishments I think any artist can do with their art, has be in the value of expressing love to one's self. I believe my art is a continually act and expression of self love. Art is healing for me and my community. The loss of culture for Native People is generational. Many native people don't even know why there is internalized oppression on the reservation and why the alcohol and drug addiction rate is so high. Science, education and history tells us that all Native People suffer from inter-generational trauma due to the loss of culture and disconnection to their environment. As a surviving addict, I use my art to express my emotions in healthy way. I hope to inspire younger people that there is another way of life and that there is healthy way express your emotions. Hope this art project helps to teach non-native people that native people are still here and that their culture is alive. I'm confident I can complete this project because Ive had it in mind for sometime. I actually drew out the working sketch two years ago and have more then enough wood on hand to complete the Job. Most of my projects to date have been out of pocket projects, meaning I haven't had any out side funding throughout the process of completing them. The reason I do art isn't for the money, it is for the love of creating something meaningful, telling a story and sharing with family, friends and community. I plan on doing this project with or with outside funding, it would just take me longer to complete with out any help. Also, I am place where my life where a career in art could actually be a real possibility. So I am self motivated in becoming a professional artist, I want to be able to make a living doing what I love. Also, I have great deal of encouragement from family and friends that inspire me in being successful. I think I'll know if my work is successful when it finds a home.

In this project, I feel it is important to hear the voices of both communities. Minneapolis, dramatically affected by the killing of George Floyd and civil unrest and Grand Marais, a place removed, yet affected by the many challenges of 2020. There have been consistent weekly gatherings in Grand Marais in support of Black Lives Matter, an important gathering of support during a time of covid isolation. It has been an unprecedented challenging year in so many ways, beginning with George Floyd's killing, Covid, political divide, the election, climate change etc. I hope that these murals may be a place for people to contemplate the last year, consider our past, our present and what we wish for the future. Through the felting of these symbols, which is a quiet meditative process of unique transformation, people may breathe a sigh of relief, feel togetherness and be lightened with a sense of hope and possibility. The murals are a medium to consider the three words: HEALING, DREAMING, BUILDING and how it relates to them. I hope everyone involved will experience the joyful transformation of making something beautiful with wool. I also hope people feel free to express themselves, be heard and come together to create a project of healing and hope. The process of the project is as important as the goal of three powerfully visual murals. I wish to offer a creative way to process the psychological and physical challenges of 2020 by bringing people together to make a tangible, visual story through colorful wool. The many small symbolic felted items made by many, will be fused together through cooperative felting action, creating a beautiful expression of challenge and hope. Participation in the felting workshops from a variety of ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, rural and urban, would be a measure of success. My goal of at least 100 symbols created by 100 people and 3 felted murals is the tangible success. Personally I wish to empower others to create something positive of beauty and hope. I am always thrilled to share the magic of wool felting with others and provide an uncommon art medium to people of all ages and backgrounds. Through facilitating community murals I have experienced the joy of bringing people together, giving them the tools and opportunity to create something larger than one person can accomplish. I am infatuated with the excitement of creative, community projects. I am an enthusiastic, welcoming teacher and artist that has 15 years experience teaching people of all ages and skills. I create an environment of safe creativity where people can express themselves. In the final months of my artist residency at North House Folk School, I am focusing my attention and effort to organize and facilitate the Felted Murals as my final project because I wish to share my love of wool with others, and I'd like to bring people together through art during a time of so many challenges and isolation. I am fortunate to have a workspace and the support of North House Folk School for this project through July 2021. Community Participation is the best sign of a successful project. 1. Six community workshops within Grand Marais and Minneapolis, creating at least 100 symbols for the three murals. It is the process of sharing the wonder of felting wool with others, while allowing them to contemplate the last year, move forward and create something larger and more meaningful than what can be done alone. 2. Providing an environment that brings people together through creative, thoughtful play with wool. Sharing the tangible process of transforming wool through community agitation and effort is a poignant analogy for our times. It is only through patience and extreme effort that wool fibers bond together permanently to create something that is durable and not easily destroyed, by fire, water, wind. 3. Three murals that are beautifully e","There were community goals and personal goals and both were achieved. The most important community goals were to create a space for people to gather, be creative, take time to contemplate and create something visually stunning and enduring that will beautify a public space. Personally, I experienced that community organizing, using wool as the medium and attractor, is not only possible, but wonderfully adaptable and accessible for people of all ages and abilities. I now have experience working large and in community, allowing me to create more opportunities like this. As a self employed artist, learning how to use social media/Facebook/Instagram to communicate and engage others was an important part of this project. I became comfortable using social media to bring people together and accomplish an ambitious project.","Achieved Proposed Outcomes",,"Other,local or private",,,,,"Elise M.

It happens all the time and even online with those who wanted to travel to my Log Cabin Concert in Grand Marais but couldn't travel there...however they were able to come virtually this past year...I had no idea how satisfying and fun it would be to LIVESTREAM. By inviting now them to participate more fully in this unique way, by watching the LIVESTREAM-outcomes of the tunes I created, will provide an place to connect on a deeper level. So that it involves my broader sense of community and an opportunity during a time of stress, disappointments and frustrations experienced during this pandemic. A recent quote I found on my YouTube station from YouTube user: Kevina Redwine, about me, ""He is beyond a part of nature and beauty...when I'm upset I put his music on a loop...I find comfort in this song and artist."" I will enhance/increase overall audience involvement so that rather than just listening/commenting moving to actual participation from those who send in their ideas via the survey/emails. My audiences will enjoy sharing their ideas. I compose/learn/arrange/record and present 5 new songs using ideas/phrases from my audiences. I will present two LIVESTREAMS specifically for proposing - presenting the outcome of my project Song Sketches. I will expand my audiences via those who share my project via my online streams. I am curious now and will enjoy the new musical challenges, communications and presentations...and enjoy watching for the response from my audiences who had an opportunity to connect more with the music and also seek downloads for the new music. I am excited to find a project which offers me a unique way to enhance participation from my audience other than just listening, commenting and perhaps sending notes. I've successfully completed previous grants for ARAC, MSAB and McKnight funding since the mid-90s. I've never even missed a performance in 50 years ever, until the pandemic hit and then only if they were cancelled. I have also successfully completed my previous commissions as evidenced by the work samples 1A-C. I consider myself a professional and following through is of utmost importance to me. I also have a full time manager/spouse who facilitates: keeping me on target assisting with all timeline details, budgets, marketing, communication etc. I present my LIVESTREAM Song Sketches proposal in April 2021 as well as complete and present (via LIVESTREAM on 4/23/22) my 5 songs created via the ideas received from my audience. Through these streams I track the numbers of online and overall streaming participants as well as the numbers of online comments and those responding to the survey-thought some will text, email, use mail, call me due to some lack of experience with technology. My Facebook Pro Group (Michael Monroe Music) members will increase from 4.kk and I will receive 500 favorable/fun comments and at least 10 shares or more during my online streams. I'll receive mail, email, texts and orders for my previous CDs and requests for the new Song Sketches compositions via downloads. I update my website/Facebook Page accordingly. My followup ARAC evaluation will report my level of satisfaction with my project which I will complete by 5/20/22.","I was able to increase/enhance participation with my audience and they with me. 33 fans sent their ideas as 'song sketches,' though many went beyond my 2 sentence limit. Some sent entire life stories and 2 wrote lyrics for a completed song! I composed/learned/arranged/recorded the 5 new songs using ideas/phrases from my audiences. I used one person's entire 'limerick lyrics' with only a few changes, so it is co-written with an audience member! I performed via LIVESTREAM on May 1, 2022, 2 weeks after 5/23, the originally planned date, as 2 venues hired me including an MPR/Lakeville Arts Center that very weekend! It also took longer to review, write, arrange and learn the tunes so I could perform them LIVE. I also only streamed x 1 as the weather improved and we only had 40 on the initial stream, but with great comments (See below) about the new songs I wrote.

First of all, anytime artists reach out to collaborate with each other (such as the Little Knife Sanctuary Residency with Patricia Canelake and Frank Sander)? a?new community springs up, expands, and benefits those in the immediate area. The subject of this work provides a new perspective in paying homage to the ships of the Great Lakes, and has a broad reaching impact to the entire Great Lakes region In addition, by making a short film on the process of printing, provides others with the opportunity to expand their printmaking skills. Sharing the completed work by engaging the ? community in an opening reception to see the art provides an invitation? to people who might not otherwise be involved in viewing fine art on a regular basis.? Finally, having this project showcased on MPR's podcast ?Art Hounds? furnishes the chance for a broader audience to know the region, the art of printmaking, and the artist. GOAL STATEMENT MEASURABLE OUTCOME Collaboration with regional artists. Receive critique, input, ideas from Patricia Canelake and Frank Sanders daily from 8/31-9/5 Development of a new art community in the Knife River area Invite 5 regional artists to observe printmaking from 8/31-9/5 Development of appreciation for the Great Lakes/Lake Superior Observe Lake Superior and ship arrival and departures for 6 days Provide a new artistic representation Great Lakes/Lake Superior 20 prints created 8/31-9/3 Increase awareness of printmaking as an artistic process Videotape developed of Andy Ness at work 9/1-9/4 Increase awareness of the Little Knife Sanctuary Residency Open House held 9/5/21 with 25 in attendance; Event publicized via print and media Provide opportunity for area residents to view art Alice Walker said, ?artists are messengers who's responsibility is to unite the world?.

Not only are brooms functional objects in our everyday lives, but they can be intricate artistic pieces that can be displayed while not in use. Through highlighting the tactile experience of sweeping, and other ?housework? for that matter, my community will become more aware of the deeper connection between what is typically thought of as a mundane action and the ritualistic and meditative nature of cleaning out physical and emotional debris. The brooms in this series are fully intended to be used, but they are also intended to initiate conversations about daily interactions with everyday items in the home and encourage my community to fill life with art in unexpected ways.Through this project I will blend a variety of craft forms, including leatherworking, beading, knitting, and ropework, into my main focus area of broom making, thereby bringing broom making into a new conceptual landscape while continuing to explore ways to stand out in a growing field of broom artists. My goal for this work is to expand the awareness of the tactile nature of sweeping and to introduce artistic concepts into the conversation about housework. Measurable outcomes for this process will consist of the number of methods for creating unique broom handles through the use of these various techniques, as well as the income from sales of these brooms. I will track the number of gallery visitors and opportunities for conversations about the tactile experience of sweeping, both in person and through social media. Throughout my artistic career I have received numerous grants and have been part of a two-year residency program. These experiences have taught me the importance of spending money wisely, carrying a project through to completion and reporting on the project. In 2019, I applied to hold an exhibition of artistic brooms and dustpans at Johnson Heritage Post Art Gallery in Grand Marias, and my acceptance for a show in January of 2020 gave me the opportunity to create a vision and follow through to create something truly unique and well-received. I received an ARAC grant in 2020 to start a long-term project exploring methods for influencing the shape of saplings' growth while still alive, to create unique broom handles. Though the project period has long past, I am still exploring these methods because of my deep personal interest. My pure excitement about this project is another confidence-builder. I have been crafting these ideas in my mind for a long time and will make this a priority.To understand whether this project was a success, I will track the number of broom handles successfully created through the various methods I am envisioning, as compared to the number of attempts. I will track my time invested into this project and the number of sales and resulting income from these new styles of sweeping brooms. I will also track public response to the work through tracking feedback in person, through social media and through the comments section on my website.

Art that honors something so inherent to a community as its own natural environment is poised to draw residents and visitors into more of what makes Northern Minnesota special, unique, and worth spending time in and supporting. My focus on nature's striking landscapes in and around the wilderness surrounding the Gunflint Trail further supports aspects of wilderness protection, eco-tourism supporting local lodges, resorts, outfitters, and the many businesses operating in and around the wilderness, increased social awareness of environmental sustainability efforts, a more collective wilderness ethos, and simply attracting more people to spend more time in nature and the many physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health benefits that come along with it. ; My goals for this exhibit are to produce a more extensive body of work that represents my favorite aspects of the natural world in Northern Minnesota, grow in my style and skill in the area of blended color work, discover ways to produce large pieces with increased efficiency and scale, learn which aspects and themes resonate most with the general public, and increase awareness of myself as an artist. While creating needle felting art fills my own soul and I enjoy taking on private commissions, I also desire to pursue commercially selling my art and hope to be profitable in that endeavor. Having a solo exhibit in such a prominent, renowned and popular historical landmark will provide the perfect opportunity to test and assess each of these goals. I have committed my participation to Split Rock Lighthouse, and I will honor that, regardless of whether or not I receive this grant. The grant will significantly relieve the burden on my finances.

Last fall, I finished eight commissioned pieces on time and as planned. I am diligent, detailed, and organized, thriving in planning and completing tasks. I've planned and prioritized the exhibit pieces, mocked up wall layouts, and have many materials on hand. I am already ahead of schedule, having completed six smaller pieces in nine days. ; I plan to measure the outcomes of the above goals by the number of pieces finished and included in the exhibit, the number of and total area covered by unique color blends incorporated into each piece, the amount of time each piece requires to create, which pieces at what sizes and in what themes sell during the exhibit, including the quantity and price points, and the amount of exposure I gain through social media followers, post shares, news pieces, and any follow-on exhibit invitations.",,,16750,"Other,local or private",19750,,,,"Kristine Kieper",Individual,"Individual Artist Project",,"Split Rock Lighthouse -- I have been selected as the Split Rock Lighthouse Photography and Art at the Rock exhibit featured artist for the month of October 2024.

Minnesota has a long history of handweaving, all the way from woven cedar mats of the Ojibwe people to linens from Scandinavian immigrants of the 1800s. While some people are familiar with handwoven work, we are losing what Glenn Adamson calls our ?material intelligence? - an understanding of the objects around us and how they're made. This work will reintroduce handwoven work to people in a new context with a fine art focus. These naturally dyed works will also educate the MN community about natural dye plants, and the color that exists in the plants around us. Seeing the range of hues available from plants we see every day will connect Minnesotans to their natural landscape. Finally, these works will create space to process the ephemeral as a community and connect to the life cycles ever present in our world. These works will be visually beautiful, with a depth of color and atmosphere created through the dye plants and the exposure to light. If the light is a powerful force for deterioration, how do these rugs sit in between finish and decomposition? Knowing they are made with all natural materials, how long will they last in this form? I hope this prompts people to think about the items in their life and what the life cycle of objects is, or should be.1.) Exploring how light can be used as a tool in woven and dyed work. I am aiming to use sunlight as a tool to fade and recolor certain areas of the weaving, and to make decisions responsively and intuitively as the designs are revealed. The sunlight deteriorates the color and the physical object, and with the artist's control, can be utilized as a way to create aesthetically pleasing compositional elements. 2.) To Include a more conceptual and process-driven component in my handweaving practice to create objects of beauty and inquiry. This project aims to create conversation around the ephemeral quality of an object and to observe how multiple phases can coexist at once. Creating these rugs depends strongly on process, from harvesting materials and dyeing yarn, to working with light and weather patterns. In the end, the artful display of these rugs' mutation brings awareness to the life cycles and seasonality of the natural world and the objects in our lives. I have over 6 years of weaving experience, and experience running a small business in production and commissions. I have woven a variety of rugs over the years and have learned techniques for weaving strong, durable, and well-designed rugs. Most of the rugs I have woven are weft-faced rugs, a dense rug that packs down the weft so that the warp is not exposed. I am confident that I can produce high quality weft-faced rugs, with the introduction of naturally dyed yarns. I have been naturally dyeing for over a year now, becoming comfortable and confident in understanding different fibers, scouring, mordanting, creating dye baths, and working with assists. Dyeing this quantity of yarn will be an area of growth for me, one that I have build a solid foundation to execute. Lastly, I have created several fine arts shows in the past, and feel confident in hanging and displaying my work, and the effort that goes into creating a cohesive body of work and displaying it well.1.) Exploring light as a tool: I will know I am successful if I am able to use these techniques of fading to create rugs with depth and atmosphere on the relatively flat plane of the weft-faced rug. I want the rugs to look and feel different than a work that is simply woven. 2.) Including more conceptual and process driven: This work will take shape over a year, and will be the longest and most process-driven work that I've ever created. I hope to make discoveries both on and off the loom, and create space for these pieces to evolve within this full process. I look forward to having a show and giving an artist talk about these works, and to engage in conversation with community members around the ephemeral nature of most everything around us.",,,350,"Other,local or private",4350,,,,"Christine A.

The elements I will be able to create with this project are intended to remain at Grand Portage as display and education items and so they will retain their usefulness long after I am able to personally demonstrate and tell their stories.; I will accomplish comparative miniature versions of historical costume art, suitable for interactive presentation, teaching, and exhibit. During this project, I will create 3 posable, 1/4 size cloth figurines, fully clothed in appropriate, historically accurate, culturally and socially appropriate, and removable clothing and accessories. After I create these figures, including under-, inner-, and outer-clothing, shoes, hats, and accessories, I will transport and demonstrate them at at least two venues and one public art gallery. In this process, I will improve my costume creation techniques, gain experience with new mediums and processes, and expand the reach of my art. I have a track record of successful project completion. I have been previously funded by ARAC to start this project, and successfully completed more than planned, on budget and within schedule. I possess all of the necessary skills to create fully realized and appropriately historical North American clothing, including such esoteric techniques as tape weaving and whip gathering. I am motivated to share my knowledge and examples of historical dress, and generally spend at least 3 days a week for 6 months of the year volunteering at historical facilities to share this knowledge.; Successful completion of this project will involves the concrete goals of completion and demonstration of the proposed work. In addition, I will consider the work successful if the audiences to the presentation (especially the children) are interested in the work and come away with increased knowledge and excitement about the art of dress and the historical evolution of class and social markers in everyday clothing in North America. To measure the first goal (project completion) is simple: did I make and demonstrate 3 figurines' To measure the second goal, that of engaging my audience, I will devise a small questionnaire to determine whether participants to demonstrations benefitted, and will report those results in my final project report.",,,2500,"Other,local or private",5500,,,,"Robin R.

I have proposed teaching a ceramic surface decoration class and hope that the more I'm able to hone my skills and process through the help of these grant funds that I am able to then show students how they can use these techniques in their own work. I have also noticed that there is a strong interest in botanical related classes and art work in this area. ; My goal is to complete at least 20 different useable screen prints of at least 10 different plant specimens. Many plant specimens will not make for successful and usable screen prints, so the freedom of experimentation will be useful in accomplishing my goal of 20 useable screen prints. With these 20 useable screen prints I would then create a full collection of work. I am an experienced ceramicist having studied the medium in college, and have taken numerous online classes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic with nationally and internationally know ceramicists to further increase my skills, knowledge, and understanding of ceramic materials and techniques. I have the utmost confidence that I am able to complete this project as it is within my skillset, aligns with my artistic vision, and is doable for me within the timeline that I have outlined above. This project has been one that I have been contemplating often for the past 2 years and have been slowly figuring out how to make it come to life. I believe the main component that has held me back has been the lack of finances to have the freedom to explore, experiment, and do research to complete this project. Therefore, having the funds to support me in this endeavor will be significant for me. ; 1) That I have successfully made at least 20 different usable screen prints to utilize in my decoration process. 2) That I am successfully utilizing my screen prints in my ceramic decoration process. 3) That I am confident enough in this process to teach a class on ceramic screen prints and surface decoration. 4) That my work is selling at in person shows.",,,2900,"Other,local or private",5900,,,,"Adrea D.

10029158,"Individual Artist Project Grant",2023,4000,,"ACHF Arts Access","An important part of my project proposal is to display the series of prints within Cook County for the general public to enjoy. Communities benefit from seeing their own landscape and culture reflected in artwork. Upon viewing this series, community members will see Lake Superior interpreted in new ways. The display will be open to the general public. While I do not have specific details firmed up for the display, I feel confident that I can find a venue within the timeline allotted as I personally know the local gallery managers and other small businesses with display space, including Johnson Heritage Post, Grand Marais Art Colony, Fika Coffee, Superior Creamery, Dappled Fern, etc. Furthermore, I believe my community will benefit from an investment in a new generation of fine artists. I am fortunate to live in a community that highly values art and artists. However, I am one of few fine artists my age in Cook County. I am also one of even fewer active printmakers in the area. By receiving this grant, I would bring new work into my community that represents a younger generation of local artists and has the potential to inspire other young artists to pursue art careers. My main objective with this project is to work toward abstraction in a new series of eight woodcut prints. Within this objective, I have multiple supporting goals: 1. Each print will be a limited edition reductive woodcut print 2. Four prints will be inspired by the water of Lake Superior 3. Four prints will be inspired by the sky above Lake Superior 4. Each print will focus on the colors, textures, and patterns of the water/sky without any other recognizable imagery (i.e. trees, shoreline, horizon will be absent) My measurable outcomes include: 1. Completing a series of eight limited edition prints based on the objectives above 2. Sharing the process of creating the series on social media 3. Displaying the series in Cook County for the general public to view 4. Sharing a reflection about the series on my website I am proud of the fact that I have built a successful art business over the past four years - which has included a pandemic and the birth of two children. In that time frame, I have successfully managed both an online shop and wholesale shop, prepared for three exhibits*, and created approximately 100 new woodcut prints. With limited childcare, our family needs to be strategic to designate enough studio time for me to work. I have become adept at predicting how much time a project will take and allocating the necessary time to make it happen. When I look back on all that I have accomplished, it speaks highly of my organization, drive, ability, and the support systems I have in place. *a solo exhibit at Johnson Heritage Post in April 2020 (which was canceled one week before opening), a rescheduled solo exhibit at Johnson Heritage Post in April 2021, and a featured artist exhibit at MacRostie Art Center in May 2022My first measure of success is straightforward: completing the eight woodcut prints as described in the above question. Beyond that, I will measure my success as follows: -Posting process photos/videos on social media a minimum of eight times throughout the project -Displaying the series somewhere in Cook County where residents and tourists can access the artwork for free -Completing a written and visual reflection that is posted to my website for people to see and learn about my project",,,4450,"Other,local or private",8450,,,,"Nan E.

We track all project expenses to adhere to and compare with our original project budget. We tally the number of screens attending, and the number of participants attending, both in the group settings on-site at our collaborator venues, and individuals and families joining from their homes and care facilities. We want to find out: - How many people learn something about their cultural heritage and identity as a result of participating. - How many people learn something about the cultural heritage and identity of others as a result of participation. In addition, we want to find out if this project improves health and wellbeing measures. We are near completion of a 2-year Bader Philanthropies supported NE Wisconsin Community Connection Jam webcast project that is a collaboration with Lawrence University Conservatory of Music, Fox Valley Memory Project and University of Wisconsin Whitewater evaluators. It is a 2-way interactive participatory Zoom-delivered arts and health/creative aging webcast. It is intended to evaluate the efficacy of the webcast, partnered with in-person sessions, to address social isolation among older adults. As with the Wisconsin project, we want to find out in this new project if participation results in: - Positive mood - Feelings of being valued by other people - Feelings of being connected with other people - Feelings that they moved their bodies enough - Feelings that they were able to express themselves - Feelings that they were able to forgot about their worries Our Minnesota webcast, upon which this proposed project will be modeled and is expanded, is called the Kairos Alive! Kairos Clubhouse?. It is an engaging and inspiring research-based 2-way TV showthat's a mix of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Reading Rainbow, Soul Train, Science Friday and Live From Lincoln Center for all ages/abilities. (See example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOkOTpTLoLo) With high quality music, adapted dance and movement, stories, and arts/health research learning, it makes creative connections between isolated people; inspires enjoyment, while promoting intercultural understanding. It's for all-abilities older adults to participate with family and friends, and is a place and practice for community healing. People join webcasts in group settings via large screen TVs with webcams, or via home computers. To date, six research studies have been based on Kairos Alive!'s work. In Therese Wengler's Master's Thesis (St. Catherine University), The Importance of a Creative Arts Program for Senior Housing Residents,published in 2015 from her research on our Dancing Heart? program for elders, qualitative results revealed six main themes: 1. Novel and engaging group artistic experience provides opportunity to test and overcome limits 2. Feelings of trust, acceptance, and comfort within the group support self-expression 3. Transformative creative experience in expressing true self, trying new things, and imagining endless possibilities 4. The program was experienced as energizing and fun, generating a positive outlook on life 5. Music and dance fostered mutual knowledge, emotional connection to one's own heritage, and cultural understanding 6. The program resulted in increased social interactions and a stronger feeling of community Multiple studies have found that dance reduces social isolation: increasing the percentage of activities that Parkinson's patients participated in; the act of moving together to a shared rhythm has been proposed to promote increased feelings of community; dancing and singing promote release of endorphins which have been theorized to promote social bonding. My daughter and I had so much fun! Hoping to join again next week! - Dancing Heart? Live Webcast Participant I came a 70-year-old and left a 50-year-old! - Kairos Alive! program participant At the last Kairos [2-way webcast] session on TV one of our men participating who is deaf was unable to hear the music, but he was able to ?see' the music. After the session, I was thrilled to watch him dancing out of the room and down the hall. With music and dance, you don't have to understand a [verbal] language to participate. - Jennifer Rutschke, Assistant Executive Director at Ebenezer Park Apartments, Minneapolis, where 10 languages are spoken in her building.","As of March 9th, we've mounted nine 2-way interactive webcasts of music, song, dance and story participation with older adults and their associated intergenerational family and community members. This is a little over half way through our planned sequence of fifteen webcasts. The project has been going to plan, with slight variations. Our original plan was to start with 4 individual webcasts, one each with Centro, Walker West, Open Circle and the two DACs in Cass and Lake Counties. Then, we planned to bring this group together for the remaining 11 sessions, opening it up to include organizations statewide for the last 6 of the 15 total webcasts. We did both a webcast and an in-person session (2 different sessions) with Walker West's Amazing Grace Choir, and an individual webcast session with Northern Cass Cty DAC. We are working with Centro Wise Elders on a presentation to share with the larger group. To date, we have not been able to attract Open Circle to the webcast. However, our longtime collaborator Ecumen Prairie Lodge Senior Living in Brooklyn Center has joined the webcasts, and with whom we will have individual session. There will be formal sharing originally included in our project design that will happen toward the end of the series when Ecumen, Centro, Bemidji and Walker will share. Because we had numerous groups waiting for us to begin our webcast season in Jan, we decided to to include more outstate organizations earlier in the project and we are thrilled at the positive response (see testimonials below). Starting the statewide outreach right away at the beginning of the project gave us more time for the audience to grow while integrating our original core organizations (minus Open Circle). We're very excited that we are doing this! Audience has expanded quickly and dramatically among organizations who serve people with developmental disabilities statewide. We went from 32 people on 8 screens at project start to 136 people on 24 screens last week. We expect these numbers to grow. Participant organizations now are in Bemidji, Walker, Worthington, Brainerd, Aitkin, Northome, Two Harbors, Sebeka, Benson, Morris, Rochester, Winona, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Waite Park, and Apple Valley. More plan to join. It is thrilling to serve this large audience every week, and to see it grow from our outreach efforts! Sometimes older staff members resist web streaming and engaging with technology, but the younger staff members easily embrace it. We plan further outreach to Open Circle to encourage participation in the remaining part of the series. As you can see in the testimonials, we've been thrilled by the positive reception to our explorations and celebrations of cultural heritage and community identity. Kairos Teaching Artist Vladimir Garrido-Biagetti consistently brings his Chilean Spanish/Indigenous song and dance into our sessions as an inspiration and foil for discussion and participation. Vlad sings in Spanish and provides translations. His mother/son duo Ina-Yukka led a Chilean carnival celebration in the Clubhouse. Performance poet/spoken word artist Joe Davis will be on the webcast in March. He was recently featured on Cathy Wurzer's Minnesota Now radio show. His infectious and inclusive performances enfranchise and encourage both African-American communities and all of us. As planned, we expect to involve guest artist Kevin Washington in the remaining part of the series. Teaching Artists Maria Genn' and Parker Genn' lead movement and song participations, including 'chair dancing' and other adapted forms so everyone can participate no matter their age or ability. Musician/composer/arranger Thomas Johnson explores sources and performs music and song from popular, Broadway, blues, world, jazz, folk and classical traditions. In all shows, participants are encouraged to volunteer favorite music suggestions that are included on the spot or in later shows. Song and dance participations are framed within cultural meanings, with an invitation to intercultural understanding and celebration via the universality of psychology. Love is love. Lonesome is lonesome. Friend is friend. We value the culture of people with developmental disabilities, and attempt to recognize and serve this community with dignity and respect. And, we find ourselves inspired by their creative contributions to music, movement and group songwriting based in their personal lives and interests. As with all of our work, this is not just performance for a passive audience. The audience participants are introduced to dance moves and song lyrics that they can move and sing to WITH us. And, cultural and historical contexts for the dance and music are introduced that give dignity and respect to their sources, gently reference the historical pain of colliding cultures from which the dance and music arises, and invites all into the dance as beloved and respected creative collaborators seeking connection and meaning.; At of the end of our webcast season on June 15th, we had mounted the original grant-specified seventeen 2-way interactive webcasts of music, song, dance and story participation with older adults and their associated intergenerational family and community members. The original plan was to do 15, but we requested permission in our interim report to reallocate funds to support 2 additional webcasts. Then, we used additional Minnesota State Arts Board funding to bring the total webcasts to 25. The audience developed with the Humanities Council funding was included in these additional webcasts. The project went to plan, with slight variations. Our original plan was to start with 4 individual webcasts, one each with Centro, Walker West, Open Circle and the two DACs in Cass and Lake Counties. Then, we planned to bring this group together for the remaining 11 sessions, opening it up to include organizations statewide for the last 6 of the original planned 15 total webcasts. We did both a webcast and an in-person session (2 different sessions) with Walker West's Amazing Grace Choir, and an individual webcast session with Northern Cass Cty DAC. As described in our interim report, we were not been able to attract Open Circle to the webcast, as planned. However, our longtime collaborator Ecumen Prairie Lodge Senior Living in Brooklyn Center joined the group webcasts, plus we conducted an individual webcast session with them. Because we had numerous groups waiting for us to begin our webcast season in January, we decided to include more outstate organizations earlier in the project and we are thrilled at the positive response (see testimonials below). Starting the statewide outreach right away at the beginning of the project gave us more time for the audience to grow while integrating our original core organizations (minus Open Circle). We're very excited that we did this! Audience expanded dramatically among organizations who serve people with developmental disabilities statewide. We went from 32 people on 8 screens at project start to 175 people on 25 screens at our peak. Participant organizations were from Bemidji, Walker, Worthington, Brainerd, Aitkin, Northome, Two Harbors, Sebeka, Benson, Morris, Rochester, Winona, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Waite Park, Princeton, Preston, Rochester, Arlington, Wabasha, Ada, East Grand Forks, Walker, Two Harbors, Windom, Worthington, St. James, Willmar, Floodwood, Eden Prairie, Brooklyn Center, and Apple Valley. It was thrilling to serve this large audience every week, see it grow from our outreach efforts, and see how positively they responded to our intercultural content! Sometimes older staff members resisted web streaming and engaging with technology, but the younger staff members easily embraced it. As you can see in the testimonials, we've been thrilled by the positive reception to our explorations and celebrations of cultural heritage and community identity. Kairos Teaching Artist Vladimir Garrido-Biagetti consistently brought his Chilean Spanish/Indigenous song and dance into our sessions as an inspiration and foil for discussion and participation. Vlad sang in Spanish and provided translations. His mother/son duo Ina-Yukka led a Chilean carnival celebration in the Clubhouse. Performance poet/spoken word artist Joe Davis joined in March. He was recently featured on Cathy Wurzer's Minnesota Now radio show. His infectious and inclusive performances enfranchise and encourage both African-American communities and all of us. Ace jazz percussionist Kevin Washington, whose group headlines the Twin Cities Jazz Fest, joined us in early May. Teaching Artists Maria Genn' and Parker Genn' led movement and song participations, including 'chair dancing' and other adapted forms so everyone could participate no matter their age or ability. Musician/composer/arranger Thomas Johnson explored sources and performed music and song from popular, Broadway, blues, world, jazz, folk and classical traditions. In all shows, participants were encouraged to volunteer favorite music suggestions that were included on the spot or in later shows. Song and dance participations were framed within cultural meanings, with an invitation to intercultural understanding and celebration via the universality of psychology. Love is love. Lonesome is lonesome. Friend is friend. We value the culture of people with developmental disabilities, and attempted to recognize and serve this community with dignity and respect. And, we found ourselves inspired by their creative contributions to music, movement and group songwriting based in their personal lives and interests. As with all of our work, this was not just performance for a passive audience. The audience participants were introduced to dance moves and song lyrics that they could move and sing to WITH us. And, cultural and historical contexts for the dance and music were introduced that gave dignity and respect to their sources, gently referenced the historical pain of colliding cultures from which the dance and music arose, and invited all into the dance as beloved and respected creative collaborators seeking connection and meaning. Voluntary pre- and post-surveys were administered with participants to gather evaluation data.",,,"N/A - Additional funding from Minnesota State Arts Board, $636.52",49933,,"Gary Oftedahl, MD (Chair) Leni de Mik, PhD Nicholas Chew Brenna Galvin Joan Semmer Melanie Broida Maria Genn'; Gary Oftedahl, MD (Chair) Leni de Mik, PhD Nicholas Chew Brenna Galvin Joan Semmer Melanie Broida Maria Genn'",,"Kairos Alive!",,"The Kairos Alive!

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

Modeling of the current culvert condition suggests the current bankfull velocities to prohibit fish passage, which would present a fish barrier. To fully restore fish passage, the project proposes to fully restore the Little Devil Track River back to its natural habitat with various features to meet aforementioned habitat: Low flow refugia, High flow refugia, Spawning habitat, Rearing habitat, and Invertebrate habitat",,,2291400,"county levy and state and federal",3000000,,,3,"Cook County","Local/Regional Government","The project will restore and protect cold-water streams for natural occurring brook trout, a sensitive, and semi-rare species, by removing an undersized culvert. The structure is a fish barrier and is creating bank erosion. The project is part of a watershed project identified in local planning efforts and through collaboration with local partners. Installing a bridge and instream geomorphology will restore fish habitat, improve stream connectivity, provide cold water refuge upstream and in tributaries, improve climate resiliency, reduce sediment loading, eliminate the current ""thumb over the firehose"" effect in the river, and allow for future stream habitat work.","Northeast Minnesota contains many pristine lakes and rivers which support robust populations of wild brook trout and other sensitive or semi-rare aquatic organisms. Brook trout are significant to aquatic ecosystems, recreational fishing, and an indicator of healthy watersheds. Ecological functions of streams are diminished by roads, development, and impairments that degrade the aquatic ecosystem leading to reductions in brook trout populations. Tributaries provide critical services by providing thermal refugia to brook trout populations. Little Devil Track River (LDTR) is a tributary to Devil Track River, a tributary to Lake Superior. The in-place culvert was identified as a high priority to be replaced for fish passage, being undersized, and having structural issues. The culvert has a scour pool and a drop outlet. Cook County has determined the culvert will be replaced with a bridge to improve native brook trout habitat, build for climate resiliency with increased precipitation events, and aid in maintaining and improving water quality. Cook County and Cook County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), with input from the local MN DNR Fisheries, agree an open bottom structure will be the most beneficial for the water quality and aquatic habitat. Wild Brook Trout have been identified as the primary species in the river. Secondary species in LDTR include slimy sculpin and some sensitive macro-invertebrates indicating a high-water quality biological resource such as rihithrogena, epeorus, and rychacophila. The current culvert is impeding fish passage, pinching the river since it is not at bankfull width, and does not have natural bottom substrate to accommodate natural aquatic passage. Because it is pinching the river at this location, it is causing an increase in velocity of stream flow, like holding your thumb over a firehose. The velocity is creating shear stress on downstream banks, causing bank erosion and contributing to sediment loading in the river. The project is part of a multi-phase project to restore areas where necessary throughout the LDTR corridor and watershed for the benefit of aquatic habitat and water quality. Cook County is working to restore the area back to a natural state, meeting the river's bankfull and flood prone width. Instream geomoprhology has been completed to ensure the new stream bottom will provide the correct roughness runs and pools for Brook Trout habitat and spawning. Cook County will provide the following habitat benefits: low flow refugia, high flow refugia, spawning habitat, searing habitat, and invertebrate habitat. To accomplish these habitat benefits, different options are being explored such as: spawning gravels, mid-channel boulder clusters to create pocket water areas, cross vanes with small plunge pools, and woody debris. In addition to this instream work, with separate funding, Cook County SWCD will be working on stabilizing the banks downstream using natural channel design. Their project will also be a continuation of this project and instream fish habitat work along with floodplain work, riparian revegetation, reestablishment of shade trees and stream bank stabilization.

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

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

The shallow lakes and large marshes that remain now serve as the core of Minnesota’s remaining waterfowl habitat complexes, and are often those basins that were too deep to drain. These remaining wetlands now receive excessive water and nutrient runoff from a highly altered and intensively drained landscape, and are easily accessed by invasive fish such as common carp. As a result, many basins are now turbid and degraded due to high, stable water levels that allow carp and other invasive fish to proliferate and aquatic ecology to stagnate. The results is a lack of aquatic plants and invertebrates required to sustain migrating and breeding waterfowl, especially those species that rely on aquatic foods exclusively such as diving ducks.As a result, ducks migrating through Minnesota on their way north to breed in spring find sparse aquatic food resources, much to their detriment further north, and also again in the fall when their passage through Minnesota appears briefer each year. Those waterfowl that remain here to breed find poor brood-rearing habitat, as shallow lakes and marshes have a paucity of high quality wetland habitat with abundant aquatic plants and invertebrate food resources on which young ducks rely. These factors have contributed to a decline in Minnesota’s diverse waterfowl resources and, unfortunately, a decline in Minnesota’s rich waterfowling traditions.To remedy this situation, Ducks Unlimited’s “Living Lakes Initiative” assists the Minnesota DNR, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and other conservation partners to enhance and restore Minnesota’s shallow lakes and wetlands. This grant supported Phase 2 of Ducks Unlimited's biological and engineering work to design and construct water control structures and fish barriers. DU biologists worked closely with Minnesota DNR Shallow Lakes Program biologists to assess wetland conditions and identify possible management solutions. DU biologists and engineers surveyed, designed, and constructed the water control infrastructure necessary for state and federal agency staff to actively manage water levels. Funding in this request also supported ongoing shallow lake technical assistance from DU biologists and engineers to assess, survey, and design future projects for implementation under future OHF appropriations.Most enhancement work occured in the Prairie Region by design, as that is where waterfowl are in most need of habitat improvements.  Structures are used by agency managers to simulate natural temporary drought cycles in shallow lakes and wetlands that rejuvenate the aquatic ecological process that produces abundant aquatic plants and invertebrates. These structures last for 30 or more years and are generally use by agency staff every 5-7 years to conduct periodic temporary draw-downs that are key to enhancing and maintaining highly productive wetlands. Importantly, DU also restored smaller wetlands on public and other protected land near shallow lakes. Shallow lakes were selected for enhancement by DNR and FWS managers, and generally enjoy strong support from the public for improvement. The Minnesota DNR holds public meetings to share information on the current condition and management plan for shallow lakes designated for wildlife management purposes.PlanningEvery statewide conservation plan recognizes the need for improving and protecting Minnesota’s shallow lakes and associated wetlands for optimal wildlife habitat. The Minnesota DNR’s Duck Recovery Plan is the most specific, calling for the active management of 1,800 shallow lakes and adding 64,000 restored wetlands to Minnesota’s landscape. DU’s Living Lakes Initiative supports this plan through a goal of improving 300 Minnesota shallow lakes in 10 years. Shallow lakes and wetlands are identified as critical habitat for several “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” listed in Minnesota’s “Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild & Rare: An Action Plan for Minnesota Wildlife”, including lesser scaup, northern pintail, and trumpeter swan.Importantly, Ducks Unlimited’s Living Lakes Initiative directly address Minnesota’s Statewide Conservation & Preservation Plan Habitat Recommendations #4 and #5 on pages 78 and 80, respectively, which calls for the restoration and protection of shallow lakes (page 78) and the restoration of land, wetlands, and watersheds (page 80). This program addresses the LSOHC priorities of wetland and shallow lake restoration and enhancement in the Prairie and Forest-Prairie Transition sections. Finally, the North American Waterfowl Management Plan’s Prairie Pothole Joint Venture prioritizes the restoration and management of wetlands and shallow lakes through goals and objectives for improved brood-rearing and migration habitat for ducks. Many of the shallow lakes and wetlands prioritized for enhancement by DU are located within wetland habitat complexes identified by the US Fish & Wildlife Service’s Strategic Habitat Conservation model and are high priority basins for both Service and Minnesota DNR field managers. DU shallow lake and wetland enhancement work is performed in close coordination and collaboration with either the Minnesota DNR or U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and these agencies assume all future management and operation responsibilities for water control structures designed and installed by DU.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road",Alexandria,MN,56308,"(320) 762-9916",jschneider@ducks.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Cottonwood, Freeborn, Grant, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lincoln, Lyon, McLeod, Murray, Otter Tail, Sibley, Stearns, Wadena, Wright","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/living-shallow-lakes-and-wetlands-initiative-phase-2,,,,

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

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

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,,,,

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

FMR restored prairie and forest habitat at 7 sites located on our near the Mississippi River and its important tributaries. Many of the sites occurred within the Mississippi River flyway, the metro conservation corridors, and the high potential zone for the rusty patched bumblebee. These restoration and enhancement projects provided critical habitat for resident and migrant birds (including many SGCNs surveyed post-restoration), native pollinators, and mammals. Post-restoration surveys also documented increases in pollinator abundance and diversity. GRG also worked on public conservation lands at 7 sites to improve habitat values for wildlife and SGCN, including birds using the Mississippi River migratory corridor and pollinators. Work restored and enhanced riverine, forest, oak savanna, prairie, and wetland habitat. MLT protected 4 properties with high-quality habitat, 3 within Washington County ""Top 10"" priority conservation corridors. These properties fell within Sites of Biodiversity Significance, were located along and provided protection to state-designated trout streams or were selected for other important factors. In addition, MLT restored and enhanced 70 acres of habitat along Valley Creek in Washington County - a Washington County ""Top 10"" priority conservation corridor and heritage brook trout stream - and near Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. These land protection and R/E activities provided habitat for a large number of SGCN. MVT restored and enhanced lands on the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and Wetland Management District, which had been protected for their ability to provide high biodiversity and connectivity, and to provide habitat for SGCN. The work restored wetlands and enhanced previously-restored agricultural fields and degraded habitats to high-quality prairie, wetlands, oak savanna and oak basswood forest.","A total of 1,723 acres were affected: 50 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 207 in Easements, 1,466 in Enhance.",2007000,"City of Cottage Grove, Dakota County, South Washington Watershed District, Cities of Fridley and Mendota Heights, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, GRG Funders, Hastings High School, FMR, City of Hastings, City of Cottage Grove, Tecla Karpen Fund, Landowner donation of easement value, Washington County, MN Valley Trust, Conservation Partners of America, NEEF Grant, SPAAR, South Washington Watershed District and USFWS",3837000,74800,,2.32,"MVNWR Trust, FMR, GRG, MLT","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Metro Big Rivers successfully completed work with the Phase 9 / ML2019 OHF appropriation, exceeding acreage goals by 55% and completing work on 1,723 acres (goal was 1,115 acres).

Project sites were Settler's Island, Camel's Hump Park and Open Space, Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park, Gores Pool WMA, Vermillion River Linear Park, Hastings River Flats, and Hastings Sand Coulee SNA. Work at all sites went according to plan. Deliverables were ahead of schedule or on time. Repeated drought years slowed some seed germination and establishment and necessitated subsequent watering of tree and shrub plantings. Volunteers, CCMI crews, and project partners were instrumental in helping navigate those challenges. Great River Greening (GRG) restored and enhanced 211 acres across 7 project sites, exceeding acreage goals. Project sites were Trout Brook - Afton (Phase III), Lebanon Regional Park (Phase III), Lilydale Bluffs, Springbrook Nature Center (Phase III), Minnehaha Creek Big Woods, Minnehaha Creek Floodplain Meadow Buffer, and Valley Park. All proposed work was accomplished. Covid pandemic, inflation and droughts impacted progress but were overcome. Inflation associated with supplies was felt and, in some cases, resulted going with smaller plant stock or rethinking species lists in seed mixes. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) protected 4 properties through conservation easement totaling 207 acres (195 acres proposed): -Keystone Woods (Haas) - a 69-acre property within one of Washington County's ""Top Ten"" priority conservation corridors. A Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance, the property comprises oak-red maple woodland, northern mixed cattail marsh, and willow-dogwood shrub swamp native plant communities. -Saint Croix River (SMM) - 129-acres in Washington County protecting a Site of High Biodiversity Significance along the St. Croix River, with rich hardwood forest, tamarack swamp, rich fen, mixed hardwood swamp, floodplain forest, restored prairie, wetlands, a boiling sand spring, and a cold-water stream that supports brook trout. -Sand Creek (Norris) - an 84-acre donated easement in Scott County protecting sugar maple-basswood-bitternut hickory forest, southern mesic hardwood forest, and 1,500 feet shoreline along a stream tributary to Sand Creek and the Minnesota River. -Valley Creek (Berggren) - 18-acres in Washington County protecting forested hills, floodplain, ponds, and shoreline on Valley Creek, a state-designated trout stream. MLT completed 2 enhancement projects over 70 acres on properties protected by MLT conservation easements: -Valley Creek (Johnson) - 15 acres of oak woodland were enhanced on property adjacent to the St. Croix River and Valley Creek (a heritage brook trout stream) in Washington County. -Hunter Lake (Jannusch) - 55 acres of oak savanna were enhanced on property near Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) and US Fish and Wildlife Service teamed up to restore 23 acres and enhance 877 acres over 12 sites on the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and Wetland Management District (323 acres proposed). Methods included invasive species removal and treatment, seeding, mowing, prescribed burns, and wetland restoration.

Trout streams are a relatively scarce resource. Increasing threats to them require accelerating habitat work to reduce the backlog of degraded stream reaches, improve riparian forests to improve stream flows and temperatures, and buffer streams from larger, more frequent rainfall and flood events. Outcomes will be maximized by improving the connectivity of habitat and fish and wildlife populations. Timely maintenance of old projects will ensure habitat outcomes continue for many years.","Only six percent of Minnesota's streams support any trout, and many have degraded habitat which severely limits their productivity. Even where riparian corridors protect streams from future harm, past habitat degradation cannot be reversed without active enhancement or restoration. Minnesota Trout Unlimited (?MNTU?) will directly enhance or restore degraded habitat on priority streams with existing protections under the Aquatic Management Area system or other public ownership. We propose to enhance habitat in and along these public waters (in these counties) as funding permits: 1. Keene Creek (St. Louis); 2. Split Rock River (Lake); 3. Baptism River (Lake); 4. Cook County Trout Stream (Cook); 5. Southeast MN streams (maintenance in numerous counties); 6. Mill Creek (Fillmore); 7. Gilbert Creek (Wabasha); and 8. Metro and outstate streams (statewide). Reduced funding from our original request means several projects will not be implemented unless significant contracting efficiencies or leveraged funding stretches Outdoor Heritage Fund dollars. We propose to focus initially on the Split Rock River, Keene Creek (design and permitting only), Gilbert Creek, and smaller maintenance and vegetation management projects. Work on the other streams will be done if we leverage significant funding. Individual project descriptions are provided in an attachment. Goals and scope of work: The goals of projects are to increase the carrying capacity and trout population of the stream, increase angling access and participation, improve water quality, and provide other benefits to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife. Each project will accomplish one or more of these objectives: (a) increase adult trout abundance, (b) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream, (c) reconnect the stream to its floodplains to reduce negative impacts from severe flooding, (d) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms, (e) increase habitat for invertebrates and non-game species, (f) improve connectivity of habitat along aquatic and riparian (terrestrial) corridors, (g) improve riparian forest health and function, (h) improve angler access and participation, and (i) protect productive trout waters from invasive species. The scope of work and methods utilized vary by project site conditions and are discussed in the individual project descriptions provided in the attachment. How priorities were set: MNTU focuses habitat enhancement and restoration efforts on those watersheds likely to continue to support viable, fishable populations of naturally reproducing trout and steelhead fifty years and more from now. Work is done only where degraded habitat is a limiting factor for a quality, sustainable fishery. Priority locations are determined using MNTU members' knowledge of watersheds, MNDNR management plans and surveys, other habitat and conservation planning efforts, consultations with MNDNR professionals, and science-based criteria. All things being equal, we consider the potential to draw new anglers outdoors, increase public awareness, engage landowners in conservation, foster partnerships, and increase public support for OHF projects.

Exceeding our 5% goal on both accounts.

Frequently the audience commented on the quality of the work and this was reflected in artist sales averaging between $2,500-$3,000 vs $2,000 in 2011 (25% increase).

Due to 2011 festival success with Minnesota State Arts Board support, our artists spread the word about our festival to other artists. That coupled with the work we did last year and this year to reach out to new artists, both professional and emerging, we had a 38% increase in new applicants to the festival (exceeding our 5% goal). This increase allowed us to be more selective in the jurying process. Although we had fewer booths in 2012 (72 vs. 76) we still had more artists (89 vs. 85) and the quality of the work increased, creating an even better festival with more artistic variety. 2. We compared the number of applicants between 2011 and 2012. We hosted seven services/activities to achieve our goal of increasing artists. Success was determined by the number of activity participants who later participated in the festival (16 artists used one or more of these services and then participated in festival). Also, we surveyed artists to find out how they heard about the festival. 2: 1. We achieved our goals of financial stability and service to broader audiences. Without funding, we cannot cover the festival administrative and marketing costs. With Minnesota State Arts Board support, we were able to cover 100% of expenses allowing us to implement, expand outreach and promote our festival, thereby fulfilling our second goal of serving broader audiences (in terms of artists and attendance). Festival applications increased 38% and attendance grew 20%. On both accounts we exceeded our goal of 5% growth. 2. For artist growth we compared applicant #s from last year to this year. We surveyed artists on how they heard about the festival, 47% said word of mouth,"" 17% said ""Art Colony"" and 10% said advertising. For audience evaluation, we did an hourly count of attendees.

If contracting efficiencies or leveraged funding permits us to we will extend project lengths or work on additional streams. Individual project descriptions and other detail is provided in an attachment. Goals and scope of work. The goals of projects are to increase the carrying capacity and trout population of the stream, increase angling access and participation, improve water quality and provide other benefits to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife. Each project will accomplish one or more of these objectives: (a) increase adult trout abundance, (b) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream, (c) reconnect the stream to its floodplains to reduce negative impacts from severe flooding, (d) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms, (e) increase habitat for invertebrates and non-game species, (f) improve connectivity of habitat along aquatic and riparian (terrestrial) corridors, (g) improve riparian forests as appropriate, (h) improve angler access and participation, and (i) protect productive trout waters from invasive species. The scope of work and methods utilized vary by project and are discussed in the individual project descriptions provided in the attachment. How priorities were set. MNTU focuses on those watersheds likely to continue to support viable, fishable populations of naturally reproducing trout and steelhead fifty years and more from now. Work is done only where degraded habitat is a limiting factor for a quality, sustainable fishery. Priority locations are determined using MNTU members' knowledge of watersheds, MNDNR management plans and surveys, other habitat and conservation planning efforts, consultations with MNDNR professionals, and science based criteria. All things being equal, we consider the potential to draw new anglers outdoors, increase public awareness, engage landowners in conservation, foster partnerships, and increase public support for OHF projects. Stakeholder support. We continue receiving strong support from landowners, rural communities, and local civic and sporting organizations. We will continue gathering local input and developing partnerships in the planning and implementation stages. Landowners typically become very enthusiastic partners.

Leveraging other funding and efficiently contracting projects allowed us to add habitat projects and adjust to changing conditions.  ",,"Using FY2014 funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund (“OHF”), Minnesota Trout Unlimited (MNTU) completed sixteen projects enhancing fish habitat in and along the following public waters (in these counties): 1. Spruce Creek (Cook); 2. Split Rock River (Lake); 3. Miller Creek (St. Louis); 4. Coffee Creek (St. Louis); 5. Garvin Brook (Winona); 6. Trout Brook (Dakota); 7. Blackhoof River (Carlton); 8.

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,,,,

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

A list of proposed restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.",,"Enhanced 2,049 acres of forest ",,77200,"USFWS ",914100,,,.60,"Minnesota Deer Hunters Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Minnesota Moose Collaborative (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.  Moose browse has been improved through treatments that regenerate preferred brush and tree species. The Collaborative has also planted over two million trees including white spruce, white pine, jack pine, and white cedar.",,"Improving moose browse calls for treatments that regenerate preferred brush and tree species. In some places, this happens naturally. The area burned by the 2011 Pagami Creek fire is an example of this and is providing some 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 Minnesota 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 Collaborative has planted over two 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. This “release” is completed 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 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 was not an acre that was 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 were shared with wildlife biologists for their approval as beneficial to moose. Partners decided who would 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 played out in completing the work was 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.Early sampling and aerial surveys conducted by the 1854 Treaty Authority, U of M’s Natural Resources Research Institute, and other agency and tribal biologists are showing that moose are preferentially using the sites that were treated.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jenny,Foley,"Minnesota Deer Hunters Association","460 Peterson Road","Grand Rapids",MN,55744,218-327-1103,kimn@mndeerhunters.com,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Cook, Lake, St. Louis","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-moose-habitat-collaborative,,,,

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

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

A list of proposed land restoration and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"11,466 Forest acres Enhanced ",,45700,"Partners, MDHA ",1920700,,,0.35,"MN Deer Hunters Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Minnesota Deer Hunters Association (MDHA), in collaboration with county, state, federal, tribal, university and non-governmental organizational (NGO) partners, seeks to continue the successful work of the Moose Habitat Collaborative (Collaborative) by improving nearly 10,000 acres of foraging habitat for moose in northeast Minnesota. The project builds on the Collaborative’s previous efforts to enhance forest habitat by increasing stand complexity and production while maintaining thermal components of the landscape with variable enhancement methods. Partial and intermediate harvests will increase the occurrence of early successional forest patches, providing abundant quality foraging opportunities and enhancing landscape-level habitat heterogeneity. ",,"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 over 4 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 collaborativeaccomplished 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. There is not an acre that gets worked on without some level of collaboration and cooperation between partner staff. 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. 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.",2018-07-01,2021-12-27,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Craig,Engwall,"MN Deer Hunters Association","460 Peterson Road ","Grand Rapids",MN,55744,"(218) 327-1103",craig.engwall@mndeerhunters.com,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Cook, Lake, St. Louis","Northern Forest",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-moose-habitat-collaborative-phase-iii,,,,

Some habitats have declined substantially, including long-lived-conifers, young-forest, and large-patch habitats. These habitats are critical for numerous game and non-game species of concern. This project seeks to protect 3,445 acres of intact forest habitat through conservation easements and enhance 11,555 acres of degraded forests. The enhancements will increase long-lived conifers, young forest gaps, riparian forest complexity, and patch-size diversity. By acting today, we can improve the connectivity, health, and resilience of our forests for all the benefits they provide.","In northern Minnesota, vast expanses of forest are now in poor condition with diminished value for wildlife. Large tracts of private lands remain vulnerable to development. Long-lived conifers and diverse young forest habitats have declined. Threats such as invasive species, a warming climate, fragmentation, and habitat loss pose great challenges for forest and wildlife managers. Over time, forest health issues tend to become more difficult and expensive to reverse. Significant investments in Minnesota's forests are urgently needed now to improve forest health for wildlife, clean water, cultural values, and local economies. Goals of this project are to: -Protect large tracts of contiguous forest through conservation easements -Enhance forest productivity in degraded stands to benefit wildlife -Enhance riparian forests to improve water quality and fish habitat -Enhance tree species, age-class, and patch size diversity to improve habitat and increase forest resilience Phase I of the project built on a long history of enhancement and protection partnerships in northern Minnesota. Prior to Phase I, TNC led over 12,000 acres of enhancements and worked with partners to conserve over 300,000 acres of forests with conservation easements. Since Phase I of this project began in 2019, we completed 2100 enhancement acres and will exceed enhancement goals by the closing date in 2022. Phase II seeks to enhance 11,555 acres and will add an easement component that will protect 3,445 acres. Enhancements will include: -Site preparation including shearing, brush cutting, and removal of trees damaged by spruce budworm -Tree planting and tending -Coordinating across multiple landowners to maintain or increase young and mature forest patch size -Prescribed burning -Black Ash stand diversification We used a collaborative approach to identify enhancement sites across DNR, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, US Forest Service, and Beltrami, Lake, and St. Louis County lands, and we will seek additional landowner partners. Advisory partners include the American Bird Conservancy, the 1854 Treaty Authority, The Minnesota Land Trust, and the Ruffed Grouse Society. We also partner with groups including the Arrowhead, North Shore, and Manitou collaboratives and Minnesota Forest Resource Council Landscape Committees. Conservation easements will be acquired from willing sellers. In collaboration with the MN DNR Forests for the Future Program and Minnesota Land Trust, we are purposefully keeping options open to match the top landowners and properties to the conservation easement option that works best for them. We will work closely with MN DNR and MLT to prioritize properties for outreach, rank opportunities, and find the best conservation easement solution on a property-by-property basis (DNR, MLT, or TNC). Properties will be prioritized based on factors including tract size, Minnesota Biological Survey data, aquatic features, contribution to larger complexes of protected forest land, forest condition, and relevance to the Resilient and Connected Network data (developed by TNC scientists and partners). We seek to conserve the largest and most important gaps in the Resilient and Connected Network.

We propose to protect 3.75 miles of trout streams, including approximately 75 acres with permanent conservation easements on private land. Protected lands will be designated as Aquatic Management Areas (AMA's) administered by the Minnesota DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife.","Trout fishing in Minnesota is enjoyed by thousands of anglers. The MNDNR Section of Fisheries administers a conservation easement program that has strong stakeholder support, and protects the habitat that is the foundation of our successful trout management program. Over 90% of our conservation easements protect trout streams. In addition to protecting the riparian corridor of trout streams, easements provide access for the angling public, and also provide access for restoration and enhancement projects. We propose a programmatic approach to achieve prioritized aquatic habitat protection for trout streams across Minnesota. Most trout streams are found in Southeast and Northeast Minnesota, but conservation opportunities in other areas of the state will be evaluated by scoring and ranking candidate parcels as they become available. We propose to protect 3.75 miles of trout streams and approximately 75 acres with permanent conservation easements on private land. Protected lands will be designated as Aquatic Management Areas (AMA's) administered by the Minnesota DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife. The dollar value of trout stream conservation easements is set by formula described in M.S.84.0272 subd. 2. The formula uses the length of stream being placed under easement and the area of the easement footprint. The length of the stream easement in feet (length is measured in GIS from a current aerial photo) is multiplied by $5 per foot. The area of the easement foot print is also measured in GIS. The area in acres is multiplied by the average per acre estimated market value of Agricultural, Rural Vacant, and Managed Forest Land within the township where the easement lies. Estimated market value and total acres by land type for every township in the state are supplied by the Department of Revenue and revised annually. So, easement price is calculated as (feet of stream under easement x $5) + (acres of easement foot print x average market value/acre within that township). Dollar estimates in this proposal are based on current estimated market value, and are subject to change. Scoring and ranking candidate parcels for trout stream conservation easement acquisition is based on multiple criteria as described in the proposal attachment. Criteria include fishery quality, rare natural features and other ecological attributes, potential to link with existing easements to increase protected corridors, and the need for access to conduct habitat restoration and enhancement projects with potential to improve the fishery. Please refer to the attachments for details. The current parcel list is based on parcels meeting a minimum scoring threshold and with landowners expressing an interest in selling an easement. The proposal includes the cost of easements, professional services to complete the transactions, and a deposit to the Easement Stewardship Account to cover future costs of stewardship.

Over the past two decades Minnesota's moose population has dramatically fallen, from an estimated 8,840 in 2006 to this year's (2020) estimate of 3,150. Due to a growing public concern and state listing in 2013, the following actions have been undertaken to date: - the Minnesota Legislature directed the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to establish a Moose Advisory Committee (MAC; August 2009 report). - primarily based on MAC report recommendations, the DNR completed a Minnesota Moose Research and Management Plan (Moose Plan; December 2011). The strategic vision for this plan is: ""Moose have intrinsic value and are recognized for their importance to Minnesota. To the greatest extent possible, moose shall be managed for ecological sustainability, hunting, and viewing opportunities."" This plan includes objectives for research, high quality habitat, social science considerations, and dissemination and use of plan information. - to address research objectives, significant efforts/projects have been undertaken to date: an adult moose mortality study (2013-16), moose calf mortality study (2013-17), and a winter nutrition study (2016-2020). - to address habitat objectives, significant habitat management efforts have been accomplished through the Moose Habitat Collaborative and related LSOHC Moose Habitat Collaborative grants they have received for Phase I (2,049 acres, $914,100 in grant funds), Phase II (5,164 acres, $1,996,400 grant funds), as well as currently funded Phase III (proposed 10,000 affected acres, $1,938,000 in grant funds). Due to the success of Moose Habitat Collaborative Phase I-III grants, Collaborative partners would like to build on this success through a FY22 LSOHC grant which will target another ~8,000 acres to enhance/affect at a grant request of ~$1,809,000.

A list of proposed land restoration and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.

",,115300,"TNC, MDHA, USFS ",1996400,100100,,1.15,"MN Deer Hunters Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Minnesota Moose Habitat Collaborative enhanced approximately 7349 acres of moose habitat in northern forests of Northeastern Minnesota within Cook, Lake and St. Louis counties on county, state, and federal land. ",,"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.

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

Play participants are involved in play selection each year and are asked to complete a questionnaire following each production. The questions include: ?What went well?? ?What were the gaps?? and ?What could be done differently?? The completed questionnaires are then discussed by the BOD to determine appropriate action. Each season?s offerings are selected through a process of assessing projected interest, performance space availability, cost and income potential, and artistic merit. The Playhouse uses participant numbers, participant and public comments, ticket sales and class registration numbers to evaluate each season?s success. The participation levels ebb and flow over the course of years, and attention must be paid to their current status. Creating a welcoming yet challenging environment has historically resulted in regularly returning participants and a regular influx of new participants. The involvement of the community in play selection and class offerings helps create community ownership and secure ongoing participation and commitmentThe Grand Marais Playhouse adopted a statement that it was a safe place. It is safe for everyone to be who they are regardless of race, class, religion, country of origin, immigration status, (dis)ability, age, gender identity or sexual orientation. The Playhouse has included community members from all areas of the community in its productions. Participation fees are kept as low as possible or are by donation. No one is turned away due to inability to pay for educational events. Scholarships are available to assist as needed. The majority of rehearsals and performances are held in the Arrowhead Center for the Arts, which is fully accessible and meets ADA compliance. Differently abled community members have participated in many Playhouse productions. The youth productions are expanded as necessary, to include all who choose to participate. During the pandemic, the may mean double productions, or multiple casting variations. The Playhouse offers two reduced-ticket-priced shows for each production. On the first Friday of each production, the Playhouse offers a ""Buy One, Get One Free"" deal if the audience member brings a donation for the local food shelf. The second reduced-price event is the first Sunday matinee of each production: a ""pay what you can"" day for all tickets.","The Grand Marais Playhouse adapted to the effects the pandemic had on community theater by increasing its theatrical learning. In 2021 the Playhouse held three Summer camps of two-week duration resulting in performances. The June and July camps held indoor performances for limited audiences and the August camp performed outside for the community. Instead of producing the annual community youth play that attracts a large number of participants, the Playhouse offered after-school classes that divided the age groups into smaller groups. Mondays were for grades 3-5, Tuesdays, Gr. 5-8, Wednesdays Grades 6-12-technical theater, and Thursdays Grades 3-8 performance poetry. The Playhouse had 35 participants in the summer camp series and 35 participants in the after-school program. Similar numbers to the large scale productions of the past. The Fall afterschool end of class performances were canceled due to a surge in covid cases.","Achieved Proposed Outcomes",,,,,"Jane Gellner, Gordon Engstrom, Sandi Furlow, Steve Byers, Jan Healy, Courtney Quiafe",,"Grand Marais Playhouse","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support Grant",,"Funds will be used to support the implementation of increased theatrical educational programing.",2020-12-31,2022-04-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Susan,Hennessy,"Grand Marais Playhouse","PO Box 996","Grand Marais",MN,55604-0996,"(218) 387-1284x 2",sue@grandmaraisplayhouse.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Minnesota State Arts Board",,Cook,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-grant-49,"Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner; Daniel Oyinloye: musician, videographer; Kris Nelson: artist, teacher; Bill Payne: Professor of Theater at the University of Minnesota-Duluth","Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Tammy Mattonen: visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner; Emily Swanson: arts administrator at Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community; Daniel Oyinloye: musician, videographer; Kris Nelson: artist, teacher; Roxann Berglund: musician; Bill Payne: Professor of Theater at the University of Minnesota-Duluth",,2

So, increasingly, we began featuring more artists from other regions, states, and countries?music that our constituents can?t otherwise hear here. We saw in surveys and heard in conversations with our constituents that people had a hunger to learn about other cultures through music, so we upped the cultural diversity of what we were offering. Also, as we evaluated our educational projects and saw what a strong positive response they received and need there was for them, we increasingly added educational programming to each season, building it into projects whenever possible. NSMA's Director and Board evaluate the programming we offer via assessment of event attendance, financial outcome, audience and participant feedback, and our overall financial picture at the end of each fiscal year. We review our ?hits? and ""misses"" and adjust the following year?s programming accordingly. In 2013 we overhauled our mission and purpose to better fit our community?s needs. Since then, we have continued adjusting the programming we offer using these same per-project and ?big picture? evaluation strategies. In 2018-19, we worked extensively in committee on a new communications and operations plan in order to more efficiently and effectively meet our project and mission goals, based on ongoing and ?big picture? evaluations. This plan included a revamping of the duties of our Director and Board of Directors, vehicles for communication (marketing methods and strategies, member and community outreach methods), and an annual calendar of work activities. Our organizational goals are specifically designed to meet the needs of a broad public audience in an approachable and accessible way by: providing a wide array of musical genres from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds; being a principal channel for musical arts performance and education in Cook County; offering interactive programs and workshops tailored to meet the needs of child and adult learners; providing opportunities for personal and interactive participation in music; and seeking accomplished local, regional, national, and international musicians to perform and teach here. We know that our services and programming provide a benefit to Minnesota through the numbers of people we serve every season -- both locals and visitors from all over the state; through constituent feedback we receive from event surveys and conversations; and through the fact that in a very small community like ours we have been able to continue our mission for 35 years, due to very strong public interest and support.","In 2021, we contracted with a local web designer who designed us a new website that is much more streamlined and on which we can sell tickets directly. A big improvement! Thanks to administrative support from the grant, we were able to present a large number of live virtual educational music outreach programs for classrooms in Cook County schools for grades K-12, so we were successfully able to address this goal proposed in our application. These programs were a terrific success and so appreciated by teachers and students at a time when they were so needed.","Achieved Proposed Outcomes",,,,,"Chel Anderson, Wayne Russ, Tracey Cullen, Greg Tofte, Cheryl Larsen, Carl Solander, Rovena Claxton",,"North Shore Music Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support Grant",,"Funds will be used to assist with administration, and establishing an interactive online platform.",2020-12-31,2022-04-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Kate,Fitzgerald,"North Shore Music Association","PO Box 1376","Grand Marais",MN,55604-1376,"(218) 387-1272",music@boreal.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Minnesota State Arts Board",,Cook,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-grant-53,"Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner; Daniel Oyinloye: musician, videographer; Kris Nelson: artist, teacher; Bill Payne: Professor of Theater at the University of Minnesota-Duluth","Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Tammy Mattonen: visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner; Emily Swanson: arts administrator at Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community; Daniel Oyinloye: musician, videographer; Kris Nelson: artist, teacher; Roxann Berglund: musician; Bill Payne: Professor of Theater at the University of Minnesota-Duluth",,2

Website tracking - A brand new format began running in Aug. with event listings, pictures and other pertinent information. Fatcow statistics reports show a gradual increase beginning in Aug, from 271 unique visitors and 313 visits to Dec. stats of 1233 and 1561. Total visitors were 5472. Facebook and Instagram tracking - NA Eventbrite - twelve unique event announcements were sent to Mailchimp subscribers Mailchimp - the first of 30 campaigns started in Jan. 2019 sending event email annoucements to NC's 400 subscribers Additionally, while evaluative data collection is still underway, we are learning that: Written surveys are easier for presenters to complete than program attendees. All artist presenters completed feedback forms. Positive feedback was provided in all but one instance in which constructive comments were provided to how to improve Nordic Center's interface with artists. This feedback resulted in significant procedural changes in terms of communication and venue planning. Focus group participation is good, but could be better through improved timing and programming interest. While the conversation yielded good information and ideas, the advisory council on 10262019 and the member meeting on 3252019 were attended by fewer participants than we expected. Perhaps attendance would be better if connected to a specific and particularly attractive program. We are also learning that with improved program structures and increasing constituent participation in programming, the workload experienced by the all volunteer board is growing as attested to by the gathering of in-kind hours, a system of measure not previously used at the Nordic Center.

In particular, NLMF needs a person with local relationships who can dedicate time to Public Relations; liaising with the Board of Directors, especially on fundraising initiatives; liaising local and Metro press to place stories, and reviews of completed performances; in helping to develop and disseminate recruitment materials; in helping to contract free-lance orchestra musicians in a timely manner; to maintain data of the Young Artists Program applicants; and to begin School scheduling during the off-season in preparation for the arrival of all participants.

She, Mr. Zubich and Veda Zuponcic will meet before the end of the season to evaluate the quality of the concert and library events, including venues and performance quality, as well as transportation, scheduling conflicts and attendance. EVALUATION: We need to limit the number of of children's concerts so that the students aren't on the road so much. Those libraries that sufficiently market our events will get first priority: Virginia, Ely and Gilbert. OUTCOME: Board evaluates the finances each season in its October Board Meeting, using figures provided by the Treasurer, Matt Uhan, and Business Manager Kathy Ortler.

The success of the Little Theatre benefits an underserved rural community, bringing to it a variety of quality entertainment. The theatrical community, seasoned and novice, will benefit from performing opportunities. Local businesses will benefit from the number of potential customers we bring to town. Non-profits will benefit by having a facility to use to educate and enrich the community. New entertainment projects will have a space to showcase their venue. The greatest benefit will be to the general public, they will have a full year of quality entertainment options. Our goals are clearly defined with specific numbers, so it will be easy to determine if we have met our goal. We will be continuing to keep attendance records to clearly chart our progress. Measuring our patron's satisfaction will be evidenced in repeat attendance and if they join our membership once the program is established. Success will also be determined by the number of people served, and by our ability to meet our expenses and continue to make the necessary improvements to the facility.","Goals stated in the grant application: The funds will be used for wages for a part-time employee to carry out the tasks necessary to accomplish these 4 goals: increasing the volunteers, expanding our venue, attracting a loyal patron bases and maximizing our advertising dollars; and we have to reach these goals to stay in existence. INCREASE VOLUNTEERS: Recruit general volunteers: Laurel has secured a small pool of volunteers to sell tickets, concessions, and seat the public. Recruit major and alternate skilled production support: The skill required for these positions makes recruiting harder. Laurel is an actress, so she has contact with a wide range of people possessing these skills. Changes in our lighting technology is making the process more difficult, but this is an ongoing process. Add to our solid actor pool & create an engaging network to keep them informed of upcoming productions: Laurel is utilizing her actor network and media skills updating Facebook regularly. EXPAND THE VENUE: Expand the number of quality productions to 6 per year: We had 6 scheduled but had to drop one when we couldn’t get it cast. We also learned that with the unpredictable Minnesota weather it is financially wiser to limit our productions to summer months and scale it back. Continue to offer at least 6 concerts per year in 2018: We had 8 concerts. Expand educational and enrichment programming to 2 per year: This we did not accomplish. Expand the number of Story Show events and classic movies to 2 each: This was accomplished. Expand business support by featuring at least one style show per year: We had a production planned during the dates that the business owner requested. ATTRACT A LOYAL PATRON BASE: Increase our average audience size in the winter months from 35 to 50: Due to stormy weather our attendance remained at the 30-35 mark for productions: Concerts in the winter months ranged from 75-145. We have decided to omit winter productions. Increase our average summer audience from 70 to 100 by 2019: Summer production attendance was also down, averaging 40-50 per night. Summer concerts averaged 80. Establish a membership program by 2019: We are still working on ideas for this. MAXIMIZE ADVERTISING DOLLARS: Planning our season at least 6 to 9 months in advance so we can capitalize on free advertising in area visitor's guides: The productions were listed in the 2018 and 2019 visitor’s guides.

In FY 2011, we saw a 20% increase in net book sales and a 375% increase in e-book sales. We supported authors by increasing advance payments by 80%. We enhanced digital content by redesigning our Web site and offering an e-book library of over fifty titles. We established a new staff position, content manager, to manage digital content. Prominent awards included a Minnesota Book Award for Vestments"" by John Reimringer, and an American Book Award for ""Extra Indians"" by Eric Gansworth.

Expressed interest in seeing American Swedish Institute use the arts to engage its target audiences is not only collected in these exit interviews, it is supported by qualitative research conducted through select focus groups in fiscal year 2013. 2: Increase arts programming and the number of Minnesota artists involved by utilizing the new gallery and the new crafts studio and workshop in the Nelson Cultural Center. The National Association of Neighborhoods hosted their annual meeting in Minneapolis and American Swedish Institute was identified as a case study for how a cultural and arts organization is co-creating programs to meet needs in the community, acknowledged in a keynote address by our local councilman. Other key neighborhood organizations, such as Children's Hospital (medical industry), Lutheran Social Services (social service industry), and Ebenezer (housing services for seniors) have identified arts programming at American Swedish Institute as an asset to partner with to achieve their goals and missions.","In fiscal year 2013, American Swedish Institute worked with 21% greater overall number of artists from fiscal year 2012. For that same time period, American Swedish Institute experienced a 203% increase in the number of artist contact hours with the public. 80,472 visitors engaged with artwork created by Minnesota artists, an increase of 181% over fiscal year 2012. For each of the major exhibitions hosted in fiscal year 2013, Minnesota artists have been the avenue for American Swedish Institute to grow new audience and connect regional interest in its international exhibitions. By strategically incorporating practicing Minnesota artists, American Swedish Institute is being viewed within its community and across the state as an important arts incubator and facilitator. Fiscal year 2013 saw a major transformation from a member-based heritage organization to a vibrant contemporary arts and cultural organization using a broader portfolio of delivery mechanisms (residencies, musical performances, theatre, and participatory exhibition experiences) to engage its diverse audiences. 2: American Swedish Institute has built a reputation as a cultural and arts anchor for the Phillips West Neighborhood of Minneapolis and continues to build more sustained and new relationships with key organizations in its community. In fiscal year 2013, American Swedish Institute used the visual and literary arts to expand programming at three neighborhood schools, growing its participation by more than 50% over fiscal year 2012 with added classrooms and afterschool programming. American Swedish Institute partnered with a media arts unit at a local high school to grow Story Swap, a cross-cultural educational project for new immigrants. American Swedish Institute is building on a survey of neighborhood cultural and educational organizations conducted in fiscal year 2012, providing an opportunity to clarify needs from these organizations in order to act on those needs in the future.",,2490470,Other,2533890,8300,"Christine Albertsson, Rev Rodney Anderson, Carline Bengtsson, Helen Bergren, Martin Bertilsson, Terri Carlson, Ellen Ann-Kristin de Verdier, Dean Erickson, Jamal Hashi, Tony Hofstede, Joe Hognander, Beth Lundquist Jones, Alexander Kallebo, Truett Lawson, Ingrid Mattsson, Randy Monson, Thomas Franklin Nelson, Lena Norrman, Gerald Sjogren, Roland B T Thorstensson, Veronika Torarp",,"American Swedish Institute","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Christy,Stolpestad,"American Swedish Institute","2600 Park Ave",Minneapolis,MN,55407,"(612) 870-3354 ",christys@asimn.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Washington, Isanti, Anoka, Chisago, Scott, Rice, Dakota, Goodhue, Wabasha, Steele, Ramsey, Sherburne, Wright, McLeod, Cook, Itasca, Carlton, Pine, St. Louis, Olmsted, Mower, Blue Earth, Le Sueur, Clay, Otter Tail, Kittson, Polk, Cass, Wilkin",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-146,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

American Craft Council held several other successful educational events throughout the year including needle felting, facinator making, and a raku firing. During the three day Saint Paul show, American Craft Council hosted demonstrations of five different types of craft. These events provide working artists the opportunity to demonstrate their craft in an open, studio-style format, allowing show attendees the opportunity to see the creative process.

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

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

With possible increased revenue, we will create funds of 10% of those amounts to help greater Minnesota cover travel/program fees, and to provide cost reductions to underserved audiences. We know we expanded our commitment to public service and public benefit. We exceeded our goal by 8,967 people and reached 128,967 Minnesotans with high quality arts programming. Our programming was defined as high quality by actor/University of Minnesota professor Barbara Kingsley who said, I was surprised by the level of engagement in the audience while watching 'A Deeper Look.' The young audience was riveted. I attribute this to the high level of proficiency on the part of the acting company. Michael Booth also praised CLIMB's original works saying, I was impressed by the artfulness and the message of the play, 'Lockdown.' We did a significant portion of our work in greater Minnesota and in rural Minnesota, and worked with over 800 students with special needs in addition to 815 seniors. We track this data in a spreadsheet that is completed after each residency/performance. This data helps us know the number of people served, as well as statistical data like location and number of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. We tracked the savings given to greater Minnesota schools by subtracting their actual travel cost from the original quote given for that school.","To ensure the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life, we provided programs that meet constituent needs. To do this we achieved our stated goals as follows: 1) maintained our repertory except Claudia and Huggertree; 2) brought in Yellow Troll's Treasure and The Dreaded Kneejerk from past repertoire; 3) wrote and produced a new environmental play called Space Baby, a new library play called The Gift, and two Booster Bits (now Interplays) on empathy; 4) created a training video for Anoka Hennepin School's human resources department, and did a live presentation for all their kindergarten teachers; 5) provided actors workshops on operatives, biomechanics, stage combat, unarmed stage combat, and auditioning; 6) created a corps of theatre practitioners (Michael Booth, Barbara Kingsley, James Williams, Mark Rosenwinkel, and Terry Lynn Carlson); 7) ensured actors observe each other's work at least once. 2: In order to ensure people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts, we continued to expand our commitment to public service and public benefit. To do this we: 1) reached 128,967 Minnesotans as of July 15, 2013 exceeding our goal by 8,967 people; 2) served 19% of Minnesota's cities and towns, falling short of our goal by 3% due to two anticipated grants not being funded; 3) scheduled 39% of our Minnesota programming in rural communities and 33% of our Minnesota programming in greater Minnesota; 4) created a special program to help save greater Minnesota schools money, but since it required partnering with another school participation was limited. However, to keep with our commitment of making travel affordable to greater Minnesota schools, our outreach team created tours that saved schools in greater Minnesota 39% on travel costs; 5) created a new program for elders with cognitive/physical disabilities and provided 79 days of programming to 815 seniors; 6) partnered with twelve organizations to do customized residencies for people with special needs.",,888168,Other,927687,7929,"Jim Gambone, Representative Joseph Atkins, Bonnie Matson, James Olney, Bill Partlan, Milan Mockovak, Peg Wetli",1.49,"CLIMB Theatre, Inc.

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

Play participants are involved in play selection each year and are asked to complete a questionnaire following each production. The questions include: ?What went well?? ?What were the gaps'? and ?What could be done differently?? The completed questionnaires are then discussed by the BOD to determine appropriate action. Each season's offerings are selected through a process of assessing projected community interest, performance space availability, cost and income potential, and artistic merit. The Playhouse uses participant numbers, participant and public comments, ticket sales and class registration numbers to evaluate each season's success. The participation levels ebb and flow over the course of years, and attention must be paid to their current status. Creating a welcoming yet challenging environment has historically resulted in regularly returning participants and a regular influx of new participants. The involvement of the community in play selections helps create community ownership and secure ongoing participation and commitment.The Grand Marais Playhouse adopted a statement that it was a Brave Space.

For example, for many years we presented a old-time country showcase called the Grand Marais Old Opry, which was very popular and well-attended. It was one of the best audience-turnout events we had ever presented, and it sold out our auditorium each year for three years. The last two years we presented it, however, we found that numbers dwindled. There was no longer the high interest in this style of music in our community, so we put the project on ice. When the pandemic started, we sent out a survey to our membership base, local schools, and the wider community, asking what kind of programming they would most like to see us present, given that we could not safely offer our regular in-person performances and educational outreach. The overwhelming response was a desire for us to focus on virtual programs in the schools, so that's what we did. Feedback in the form of audience surveys and oral feedback from attendees at our events inform us with each individual project how well the programming we have offered has been received. Attendance numbers at concerts and educational outreach events also reflect level of interest for each event. At our monthly meetings we carefully assess all these factors in evaluating whether or not each program has met constituent needs. When planning every new season's offerings we reflect back on the previous season, incorporating feedback and numbers from each event, as well as feedback member and community surveys we have sent out, inquiring what kind of programming constituents would like us to offer. For educational outreach programming in the schools, our director asks educators directly what kind of programming they would like for their classroom. For example, tailoring the project to fit a theme or focus of study, such as ""the science of sound"" or ""musical geography,"" or learning about the music of a specific culture. All of our events are family friendly and open to the public of all ages. In order to reach the broadest array of constituents available, we advertise through multiple outlets, including newspaper stories and ads, radio spots, posters, our website and local arts and activity blogs, and social media. Concert-audience and outreach-participant survey feedback shows us that our events are attended by a wide array of ages -- from preschoolers through highschoolers for our community outreach and in-school programming, to people of all ages, including a large number of senior citizens at our outreach and concert events. Because Cook County is a remote rural community, our population is underserved with performing arts programming due to our distance from urban centers. Therefore, NSMA plays an important role to bringing eclectic, high-quality musical performance and education programming to our area. Some examples of recent audience feedback that reflects how we benefit our area of MN include: ?Wonderful musicianship. I appreciated the international flavor and diverse genres, and the blending of them.? ?I enjoyed the skilled musicianship, energy, and positive attitude of performers. I also loved learning about musical heritage of South America.? ?A vibrant, relaxed, and heart-filled performance. Gorgeous original and traditional jazz.

Attendance numbers and ticket sales, the easiest to evaluate, were tracked through ticketing software. Festival attendance reached the highest levels ever. Year-round attendance was stable. Audience surveys were provided to every attendee upon entrance to a film; survey results were compiled and analyzed and indicated a diversification of our audiences in terms of background, ethnicity, age, and financial status, and indicated a high level of audience satisfaction with and interest in our programming.

We will measure our continued success toward this goal through increased attendance and earned and contributed income, audience polls, word-of-mouth, and collaborative participation. We will also focus on providing access for new international and immigrant populations through geographically-focused series and festivals, increased partnerships and collaborations, and we will expand Minnesota made programming and exhibition in support of Minnesota artists.

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

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

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

Sample media response includes: (Doubt's AP) But of this there is no doubt: The opera, with a libretto by Shanley and music by Douglas J. Cuomo, makes for a gripping 2 1/2 hours of theater. The work had its world premiere Saturday night in a production by Minnesota Opera, which commissioned it, and the enthusiastic audience at the Ordway Center responded with a standing ovation for the cast and creative team; (Turandot's Star Tribune) Minnesota Opera's sumptuous new Turandot, which opened Saturday at the Ordway Center in St Paul, is a meticulous and gratifying realization of one of opera's most problematic scores and a fitting capstone for an extraordinary 50th season. 2: Leverage the opera company's artistry, resources and expertise to benefit the students of Minnesota. Outcomes: Have a meaningful music education presence in classrooms across the state. Give talented young Minnesotan singers the training and support to pursue a college degree in music. Day to day assessment included meetings with the Teaching Artist and individual educators to discuss progress towards goals and objectives, successes and challenges. Demonstrations of student learning based on create, perform and respond concepts were documented. Measures for written assessment included tracking the number and demographics of student/teacher participants; artist/student/teacher contact hours; graduation standards met via demonstrations of learning and lesson plans/other materials used; goals and objectives reflecting planning; daily progress towards objectives; evidence of arts integration into broader curriculum; and activities engaging students in creating, performing, and responding to arts.

We offer the following as evidence we accomplished our goals with respect to the Ridgedale location: We rotated art work through 14 display vitrines in the common areas an average of two times each. Our shop is open seven days a week with extended hours during the holidays. Artwork by more than 100 regional artists includes painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, fiber, ceramics, glass, woodworking, and jewelry.

Family programming elements will be integrated into each of our three major events to expand family involvement from our local community. At each of our major events, surveys are distributed to event attendees as a means of public evaluation. Standard written student and instructor evaluations are part of every course on campus. Regular conversations between instructors, staff, and volunteers explore life in the classroom every day.

Our lead staff rotate in the role of campus host directly connecting with students and gaining honest, direct feedback. Whether during the student welcome on their first day, in the school bookstore, or at the weekly student pizza bake, students are encouraged to share their ideas so that staff may work to improve courses for future participants. 2: North House Folk School will build momentum for its year-round coursework to nurture the thriving arts community on Minnesota's North Shore. Enrollment in catalog courses will increase, generating 6% growth in earned tuition revenue. Public outreach regarding our educational mission will increase membership and annual giving support by 10%.

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

As we offer more programming, our expenses go up. To combat this, we need to find ways to generate more revenue and reduce unnecessary spending. In 2012-2013, we will operate on a balanced budget and meet all budgeted areas by fiscal year’s end. We evaluated this goal by carefully breaking down each budget area with our board of directors, and we used applicable expense reports, receipts, and statements to compare projections to actual totals. We will use this information as we prepare future budgets to make sure our projections are as close to actual figures as we can get them, and we will meet regularly to adjust and refine numbers, as needed, to ensure we are operating in balance. 2: We will expand and build new audiences for quality arts programming in our regional community. Because we believe the arts to be a part of who we are and a defining characteristic of our community, we want to extend an invitation to all persons to take part in an event at our center. To that end, we will increase the size of our patron database to over 14,000 by the end of 2012-2013. We have dedicated software which we use to monitor, track and report all patron activity, donations, attendance, etc., and we used this software to document and evaluate the increase in our overall patron records.","Most areas of our budget came out as expected, but we had a serious decline in ticket sales from the previous year and did not meet budgeted projections in that area. A rash of inclement weather in our busiest part of the year (December-March) caused our projected ticket sales for marquee events to come up short. Because of this, we ended up about $50,000 off our estimated level. We have diligently reevaluated all sales projection techniques and will use this information to create much closer projections for next year's ticket sales. 2: We achieved this goal, with our patron database now at 14,065. We feel this is a reflection of our increased outreach to areas on the outskirts of our direct community, and also a testament to the programming that we are presenting. While ticket sales were lower than anticipated, our extension of free/reduced fee tickets this year helped to introduce many new people to the arts in our area. We feel that this increase will help us create and sustain stronger ticket sales in the future, and believe we are building a stronger base of patrons who will become paying customers in the seasons to come.",,796812,Other,826068,,"Kirk Adams, Gene Baker, Ben Edwards, Jean Goad, Louise Koglin-Fideldy, Dan Margo, Barbara McDonald, Scott Larson, Laurie Passard, Tom Peltier, John Schroeder, Cathy Shields, Michael Thursby, Donna Vennie",,"Reif Arts Council AKA Reif Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,David,Marty,"Reif Arts Council AKA Reif Center","720 NW Conifer Dr","Grand Rapids",MN,55744-2475,"(218) 327-5780 ",david@reifcenter.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Itasca, Beltrami, Hubbard, Cass, Aitkin, Lake of the Woods, Koochiching, St. Louis, Lake, Cook",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-254,"Lawrence Adams: Principal, LarsonAllen, LLP.; Jonathan Carter: Solutions development manager, General Mills.; Ellen Copperud: Board member, Southwest Minnesota Arts and Humanities Council.; Kenna Cottman Sarge: Artistic director, Voice of Culture Drum and Dance.

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

One thing that our Operations Support funding has allowed us to do is keep better track of our impact in the community. We now have an established baseline for theater usage based upon 2014 and 2015 numbers. We have used these numbers to set realistic and achievable goals for 2016-2017.

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

Increased use of ACCs website, digital resources, and social media was also reviewed. 2: Through artistic excellence, unique and engaging programming, and organizational fiscal stability, ACC provides economic opportunities for artists and quality experiences for the entire Minnesota community. Direct feedback from show participants, including new emerging artists, is used to evaluate ACC programming.

In addition, we produced a virtual Summer Arts Walk, paying stipends to local artists/ musicians, galleries and arts groups to create and share videos of the work they were creating.

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

The successful outcome resulted from MSU,M and PAM leadership having worked together informally over the years; during the grant period holding many discussions, some facilitated; and timely, thoughtful work of the facilitator, lawyers, and MSU,M and PAM staff. Indicator 2, short-term progress indicator: Generate 15 ideas of possible curriculum changes to further develop and vet in Year Two. Grant work exceeded the target.

In addition, PF restore an additional 1,500 acres of grassland habitat on permanently protected lands (WPA's or WMA's).","Working with 76 local chapters and 26,000 members across the state of Minnesota, PF will acquire 1,100 acres of public land (WMA's or WPA's) to enhance grassland and prairie habitat and provide public recreations opportunities for the citizens of Minnesota. All projects are additions to existing WMA's or WPA's or have a direct connection to resources in the public trust (e.g. designated wildlife lakeshore). Purchase will be from willing sellers. Priority will be placed on remnant native prairie and tracts that provide significant grassland habitat protection and restoration. PF has currently identified 19 active projects consisting of 2,300 acres in eleven counties. ? Less than 1% of Minnesota's native prairie remains, and grassland habitat losses are cited as the primary reason for population declines of breeding waterfowl, grassland birds, and other wildlife species. In this proposal, PF (with many partners assisting & in cooperation with the long-term stewards of the land - either DNR or USFWS) will acquire and permanently protect 1,100 acres of grasslands. In addition, PF will restore 1,500 acres of grassland habitat (much of this will be initial restoration on the acreage acquired within this proposal). All projects are building upon past investments in public or private land habitat conservation and seek to build functional habitat complexes for Minnesota's suite of grassland wildlife. Most of the work will involve restoring marginal croplands to grasslands with at least 15 species of grasses and forbs chosen to fit individual sites. Restoration activities include but are not limited to site preparation, herbicide application, seed purchase, planting, clipping. Wetland restoration is also considered part of our prairie system and will be considered under this proposal. ? Pheasants Forever will work with guidance provided by L-SOHC to properly expend & acquire grassland habitats.","Accomplishment Plan: http://www.lsohc.leg.mn/FY2010/accomp_plan/2c.pdfWorking with numerous partners throughout the state of Minnesota, Pheasants Forever acquired 1,051 acres of land from willing sellers throughout Southern Minnesota. These lands have been enrolled into the state Wildlife Management Area (WMA) System and will be protected and managed in perpetuity by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. In addition, these newly acquired WMAs will provide public access and recreational opportunities for ALL Minnesotans, so fundamentally important to our outdoor heritage.More specifically, a total of 5 parcels were acquired within Brown, Goodhue, Lyon, Pipestone, and Watonwan Counties. A total of 7 landowners were presented with offers and PF was successful in securing 5 of those parcels (71% success rate). Offers to landowners were based on appraised values and seemed to be competitive with the market at the time. Most projects were closed early in the project period, and therefore the agricultural land boom of 2012 seemed to have little affect on our ability to secure parcels. Parcels were identified in conjunction with DNR wildlife professionals and based on criteria in addition to minimum WMA standards that included: habitat restoration potential, landscape scale significance, presence of significant natural communities, future expansion potential, and multiple benefit analysis.In total, $2,969,300 of Outdoor Heritage Funds were matched with $862,500 of non-state funding to complete this work. Striving to build upon past investments in wildlife habitat conservation and landscape level habitat complexes that protect and sustain wildlife populations, 4 of the 5 parcels are additions to existing WMAs or are adjacent to existing permanently protected lands. All parcels acquired have been restored and/or enhanced to as a high quality as practicable. All agricultural row crops on these parcels have been restored to native grassland/wetland complexes. The grasslands were restored using a broadcast or drill seeded method with a diverse mix of native grasses and forb species. 15 acres of native prairie have been protected and all parcels have been opened for public use. In addition, 66 acres of grassland enhancements were completed on an existing WMA in Chippewa County. These restored and permanently protected acres will provide critical habitat for breeding/migrating waterfowl as reproductive and winter habitat for grassland game and non game species.",2009-07-01,2012-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Joe,Pavelko,"Pheasants Forever","7975 Acorn Circle ",Victoria,None,55386,6125323800,jpavelko@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Benton, Brown, Chippewa, Freeborn, Goodhue, Lincoln, Lyon, McLeod, Mower, Nobles, Pipestone, Redwood, Rock, Scott, Sibley, Stearns, Stevens, Stevens","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/prairie-heritage-fund-acquisition-and-restoration,,,,

","Healthy populations of endangered, threatened, and special concern species as well as more common species - Shorelands are protected from development and fragmentation This program will permanently protect 216 acres of the most biologically outstanding shoreland in northern Minnesota and approximately 0.5 miles of undeveloped shoreline.

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

Of this amount, up to $240,000 is to establish a monitoring and enforcement fund as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17. A list of proposed conservation easement acquisitions, restorations, and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.","Increased availability and improved condition of riparian forests and other habitat corridors - This program will permanently protect approximately 600 acres of strategic northern forest region habitats and approximately 1.4 miles of undeveloped shoreline. Measure: Acres and feet of shoreline protected",,,500000,"Private Landowners",3341000,54000,,0.53,MLT,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","The magnitude, timing, and frequency of flow are key attributes governing the structure of native fish and aquatic communities. Through targeted protection projects, the Minnesota Land Trust will conserve these attributes and ensure resiliency of priority coldwater tributaries to Lake Superior. The Land Trust will protect 600 acres and 1.4 miles of shoreline by targeting high quality, priority parcels that will protect habitats for coldwater species such as trout and cisco, but also provide habitat for a number of wildlife species such as American woodcock and golden-winged warbler.","Lake Superior and its tributaries in Minnesota have some of the most important cold-water trout habitat in the State, supporting native brook trout and naturalized populations of salmon, steelhead, and brown trout. This coldwater fishery is vulnerable to climate and landcover change as it is mostly surface water fed. Combined, these factors may result in water temperature increases and flow regime changes that threaten support of cold-water fish species such as trout and salmon. Protection of shaded shorelines and headwaters wetlands within these tributary streams and rivers are critical for maintaining the coldwater resources and flow regimes that support this fishery. The magnitude, timing, frequency of flow are key attributes governing the structure of native fish and aquatic communities. For example, along the North Shore, stream discharge and water temperature are the major signals influencing the timing of the juvenile steelhead migration. Significant alterations to natural patterns of hydrology impact the suitability of those systems for native aquatic biodiversity. The Ecological Limits of Hydrologic Alteration (ELOHA) 2016 study assessed management criteria to sustain healthy aquatic ecosystems in a changing climate. This study found that the combination of climate change and land use changes can be expected to result in increased intensity of storm events, increased runoff and increased erosion, which will in turn drive a series of cascading impacts to streams, including higher temperatures, reduced dissolved oxygen, increased primary production rates, and increased biological oxygen demand. These changes will negatively impact fish and other organisms in the stream. Similar impacts are expected in deep, cold lakes that support trout, cisco and other coldwater species. The ELOHA study recommends management actions that focus on protecting baseflows. This includes: 1) Protection of wetlands, vernal pools and floodplains that slowly release water into the system; 2) Management and maintenance of riparian zones, forest cover/shade and 3) Promotion and restoration of connectivity. We propose to strategically procure conservation easements within high-quality watersheds. We will work in line with the methodology developed by the ELOHA program to identify priority watersheds and target properties to protect both water temperature as well as flow regimes. Conservation easements secured under this program will be perpetual and drafted to prevent the fragmentation and destruction of existing habitat. These easements will ensure that the sensitive shoreline and headwaters habitat will remain ecologically viable and productive for fish, game and wildlife by prohibiting land uses that negatively impact the important habitat values and requiring habitat management plans to maximize the benefits of shoreland and associated forested uplands. Outcomes from this project include: 1) healthy populations of trout and other fish species, and other Species in Greatest Conservation Need; 2) maintenance of water quality within targeted aquatic resources; and 3) increased participation of private landowners in natural habitat protection projects. Phase 1 funding has been largely committed to existing projects. We desire to build upon the momentum being created through our first grant and further elevate protection of these critical resources.",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Wayne,Ostlie,"Minnesota Land Trust","2356 University Avenue W Suite 240","St. Paul",MN,55114,651-917-6292,wostlie@mnland.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Cook, Lake, St. Louis","Northern Forest",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/protecting-coldwater-fisheries-minnesotas-north-shore-phase-2,,,,

I harvest and process all of the pieces and parts straight from the natural landscape around me, working largely with tools - steel, wood, bone, and antler - that I have made. For me the process is an inseparable part of the art. It has been my hope for many years to continue to further that exploration, to create my works from the very beginnings, and to reflect that process in the finished art. My goal in taking these classes is to gain the knowledge to continue to develop this process by starting from the very beginning - to dig the iron ore, smelt it into steel, and then turn that steel into the art I make and the tools I use. The outcomes of these workshops is measured by me having understood the history and methodology of the iron smelting process, then turning raw iron into steel, and then turning that steel into art as well as tools I use to continue with my art. The workshops aim to teach the history, theory, and practice of iron smelting and steel production. For me, the methods to measure outcomes will be my understanding of the history of the practice, my ability to undertake it on my own after the workshops, and by having created something usable at the end of the week. Judging by the competence, experience, and accolades of the instructors teaching the workshops, I have high confidence that I will be able to achieve my goals.","Completed a four day workshop with instructor Wayne Potratz, ""Viking Era Smelting,"" and a three day workshop with instructor Robert Burns, ""From Bloom to Bar.""

Purchased amp. 2.) Played through amp with three different guitars: Gibson L5, Fender Stratocaster and Wilcox Atlantis. Since the amp is intended for jazz it has a clean (and pure) sound and is perfect for use with the Gibson L5 archtop guitar. The Rivera amp brings outs the warm jazz sound of the L5. The Strat sounds clean and twangy for playing country music and smooth for soft (70s) rock and folk/rock.

Approximately 200 volunteers make Julebyen possible. The number of volunteers has grown every year. Attendance is another yardstick of success of Julebyen In 2013, its inaugural years, approximately 700 people attended. This number doubled in 2014 and doubled again in 2015 to 3,000 over Julebyen weekend. We measure outcomes by increase in: (1) attendance (Julebyen has doubled its festival goers yearly since its inaugural in 2013. Estimated attendance in 2015 was 3,000. (2) number of volunteers - 190 in 2015, (3) by increases in commercial sponsors and partners; most recently the North Shore Scenic Railroad donates a train to bring festival-goers from Duluth and return (4) media coverage (in 2015, Norwegian National Broadcasting sent a reporter and videographer from Norway to report on the Knife River Julebyen. The five minute feature that followed was aired to more than 3.5 million Norwegians in news broadcasts (5) in the growth of its outreach program to underserved children from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Duluth and Superior. The privately-funded outreach pays the train fares and meal expenses for children to attend Julebyen. In 2015, 39 children with chaperones were able to experience a family-centered Christmas experience at no cost that featured games, craft making workshop where children can make a holiday gift, a treasure hunt, skating, sliding, storytelling. Key to the growth of Julebyen is (1) our ability to attract and retain more volunteers and (2) continued support from outside partners to keep Julebyen free to the public. The support we request is to help cover the cost of entertainment, which has been selected to enhance and tie to the theme of Julebyen.","Attendance increased from an estimated 3,000 in 2015 to estimated 3,500 - 4,500 in 2016. The increase can be attributed to, in part, extending the festival to three days. Train ridership between those traveling to Julebyen and return from Duluth, and two Troll Train trips, increased from 149 riders in 2015 to more than 400 in 2016.

The outcome of this goal is to add a new dimension and material, beading, to create art representative of the mysticism I experience deep in the woods of the Superior National Forest. The new art will immediately be exhibited in my local gallery and other local and regional exhibitions. The outcomes from this workshop are important to the materials, processes, and product necessary in my art. Materials: The fundamental nature of this workshop will teach me to improve techniques of peyote and brickwork stitches to create shapes and imagery. Materials: The accompanying conference is advertised as the largest bead consumer market in the world. I will learn about the materials that will best work with my art and have a place to purchase them. Processes: I will visit with other beaders and learn from their experiences and beadwork. The beadwork in various exhibitions at this conference will be inspiring. Product: My art will immediately show the results of this workshop. For example I am trying to make beaded shapes as elements in my designs and need one-on-one guidance how to make them. As a result my beaded shapes will look more like the images in my imagination. I punch holes in my copper shapes for threading beads. I will learn what threading materials work best with the sharp hard edges of copper. Upon my return I will immediately be able to produce art for the Kess Gallery, the juried July 2015 Greenstone Art Show and Sale, and the fall and winter art shows in Ely and in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. I will be able to use these work samples to apply for larger grants with Arrowhead Regional Arts Council and the Minnesota State Arts Board.","The instructor, Judy Walker, was an excellent instructor, providing handouts, and one and one instruction in the major stitches of peyote, brick, square, herringbone stitches. I can readily use these stitches in my beadwork. The class reviewed all the materials used in beadwork and the Marketplace at the Bead and Button Conference provided the vendors for purchase of the materials. Working with the manufacturers at the Conference allowed for more personal instruction. The other workshop participants, exhibitions, and casual conversations provided professional input and examples of bead work suitable for my own work, and well as inspiration for exploration of new ideas.",,1407,"Other, local or private",1600,,,,"Pamela J.

Over the course of 2015, we will build towards an average of at least two performance art activities per week in the atrium, and they will highlight a diverse array of artistic forms - from poetry to music to spoken word to storytelling. We will spend at least $9,500 paying artists to perform in the atrium, many of which will play our piano. We will also try to measure the number of audience members who listen to the piano. This is easier to do when the piano is used in the performance theater because of ticket sales. When it's being played in the atrium, which is generally a non-ticketed area, we'll have to make our best estimations based on feedback from staff, head counts, etc. We will track the number of artists who use the piano, starting immediately after grant proceeds are received. This will include events anywhere in our building. Tracking of audience members will be harder as the atrium space is a transient space and not something that we generally sell tickets for. But we can track the times the piano is used in the atrium, performance theaters, and throughout the building, and approximate the number of audience members who heard a performance.","Funds were used to purchase a baby grand piano to facilitate artistic experiences in the atrium and performance theater.

The project targeted wetlands and prairies, two of the three most important habitats used by the Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Of the nearly 1200 known wildlife species in Minnesota, 292 species, or approximately one-fourth, are at risk because they are rare; their populations are declining due to loss of habitat. SGCN in the RIM Wetlands area include the Five-lined Skink, Blanding's Turtle, Two-spotted Skipper, Northern Pintail, American Black Duck, Grasshopper Sparrow, Upland Sandpiper, Sedge Wren, Dickcissel, and Western Grebe. In addition to the SGCN, the threatened or endangered species nclude the Dakota Skipper and Poweshiek Skipperling. Diverse vegetation, access to a water resource, and protection from pesticides are also important to Minnesota's native pollinator species. BWSR's native vegetation guidelines and pollinator initiative protect native pollinators. Complexes and corridors targeted through RIM Wetlands provide areas that are safe from pesticides and natural passageways for pollinators. Targeted pollinator species include the Monarch Butterfly and solitary bee species including Leafcutter Bees, Mason Bees, and Yellow-faced Bees. Prairie wetlands are important for migratory waterfowl. Although the North American Prairie Pothole region contains only about 10% of the waterfowl nesting habitat on the continent, it produces 70% of all North American waterfowl. The loss of Minnesota?s prairie and wetland habitat has led to the decline of many wildlife and plant species. RIM Wetlands has protected and restored this habitat over many years and continues to do this important work using CREP.","A total of 4,369 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 4,369 in Easements, 0 in Enhance.",22847200,USDA-FSA,13339300,,,1.65,BWSR,"State Government","Under the CREP partnership with USDA, 71 easements were recorded on a total of 4,365 acres to restore previously drained wetlands and adjacent uplands. The easements were accomplished with local implementation done by SWCD, NRCS and FSA staff within the 54 county CREP area and leveraged federal funds for both landowner payments and cost share for conservation practice installation.","The sites enrolled were generally drained and farmed wetlands and associated upland habitat. These sites offered limited ecological benefits. Through a combination of a scoring and ranking process and eligibility screening, each application was evaluated, with the applications that provided the greatest habitat and environmental benefits after restoration and protection being selected for funding. RIM Wetlands Phase 7 protected and restored wetlands and adjacent upland area to prairie via the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). The project area consisted of the 54 counties within the CREP area with 4,365 acres of permanently protected and restored wetlands and uplands on 71 easements. These acres provide a healthy and plentiful supply of habitat for fish, game, and wildlife, especially for waterfowl and upland birds. CREP utilizes both a 15-year CRP contract and a permanent RIM easement. RIM Wetlands Phase 7 was a local-state-federal partnership delivered locally by Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) and BWSR. In addition, the CREP partnership is possible through collaboration among many local, state and federal partners including the USDA-Farm Service Agency (FSA), USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Pheasants Forever (PF), the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR), Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and over 70 supporting organizations and agencies. BWSR staff coordinate with Federal partners on the overall CREP process and program oversight. In addition, BWSR Staff are also responsible for easement acquisition. Local staff promote CRP contracts and RIM easements, assist with easement processing and provide key essential technical assistance and project management services. Some highlights of the easements funded through this project include: The largest easement funded in this project, 73-03-20-01 in Stearns County, included 9 wetland basins on over 100 acres and approximately 250 acres of prairie and forest as well as a portion of Kolling Creek. The landowner donated approximately 50 acres to the easement area. Easement 56-01-17-01-W, in Otter Tail, was the first wetland application enrolled in this CREP. The total easement area is 84.6 acres, 25.8 donated by the landowner. The landowners remaining adjacent property (534 acres) are protected via easements with Minnesota Land Trust.

The total acreage from both CWF and OHF sources for recorded easements is 2,793.2 acres. Only the OHF acres are being reported in this final report to be consistent with the approved accomplishment plan.","The sites enrolled were generally farmed sites adjacent to a sensitive water feature or drained and farmed floodplain wetlands and associated upland habitat. Expiring Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts were also enrolled. These sites originally offered limited ecological benefits. Through a combination of a scoring and ranking process and eligibility screening, each application was evaluated, with the applications that provided the greatest habitat and environmental benefits after restoration and protection being selected for funding. Factors considered during site selection included: linear corridor connectivity, length and width of the filter strip, adjacency to a public water, size of the site offered for enrollment, additional wildlife benefits, highly erodible land or partially highly erodible land, threatened and endangered species, and addressing water quality concerns. MN Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) is a voluntary, federal-state funded natural resource conservation program that uses a science based approach to target environmentally sensitive land in 54 Counties in southern and western Minnesota. This is accomplished through permanent protection by establishing conservation practices via payments to farmers and agricultural landowners. Landowners enrolled in the federally-funded CRP for 14-15 years; CRP is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture-Farm Service Agency (USDA-FSA). It uses agricultural land for conservation benefits, rather than farming or ranching; The same land was also enrolled into a state-funded perpetual conservation easement through the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Reserve program, administered by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Private ownership continues and the land is permanently restored and enhanced for conservation benefits. The RIM payment rates were consistent throughout most (2018 - 2022) of this appropriation but CRP annual rental rates fluctuated, so the state's contribution to the overall easement cost varied in reaction to the CRP rate. Note that one easement (64-18-18-01) listed on the parcel list was split into two easements as a result of an ownership split but is still reported as one easement in the parcel list; accounting for the difference of one easement in the text compared to the parcel list. The largest easement funded in this project was a floodplain easement in Rock county (67-05-19-01). The total easement was 181.9 acres (91.0 acres funded with this project) and protects portions of both sides of Champepadan Creek and its floodplain areas.

Our work began on November 28 at an initial meeting to consider ideas for the performance. Members of the public joined the core artists in designing and creating the shadow puppets, as well as participating in rehearsals and performing the show. Workshops took place every evening for eight days prior to the show. Our show was titled ""Be Thankful for What You Got"". The primary component of our story line derived from an anecdote shared at our initial meeting. Our musical director described how an industrious Red Squirrel had packed the air intake pipe for her wood stove with pine cones. The production and final event took place on the campus of North House Folk School in Grand Marais. The performance featured 18 puppeteers and musicians, and was attended by approximately 150 audience members, despite a bitter cold wind chill.","Achieved Proposed Outcomes",,"Other,local or private",,,"Jim Ouray, Betsy Bowen, Jennifer Schulz, Peter Henrikson, Fritz Bogott.",0.00,"Good Harbor Hill Players","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Rural and Community Art Project Grant",,"Good Harbor Hill Players 2021 Winter Solstice Shadow Puppet Show - A series of public workshops culminating in a public performance, with live music and puppetry, of relevance and significance to our community.",2021-11-20,2022-02-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Barb,LaVigne,"Good Harbor Hill Players","PO Box 68","Grand Marais",MN,55604,"(218) 387-2137",blavigne@boreal.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Minnesota State Arts Board",,Cook,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rural-and-community-art-project-grant-87,"Mary McReynolds: Executive Director, Lyric Center for the Arts; Roxann Berglund: musician; Tammy Mattonen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Bill Payne: Professor of Theater at the University of Minnesota-Duluth","Tara Makinen: former-Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Tammy Mattonen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner; Emily Swanson: arts administrator at Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community; Kris Nelson: artist, teacher; Roxann Berglund: musician; Bill Payne: Professor of Theater at the University of Minnesota-Duluth",,2

Goal 2: Cook County triples in size in the summer months, directly overlapping with this construction project. Show visitors signage that is surprising and drives curiosity and delight, in order to cause a mental reset for them within a physical space that will inevitably be more stressful to navigate. Goal 3: The signage and engaging encounters people have with them will remind visitors in particular, that although Cook County is a vacation destination, it is also a community that many people call home and live in all year round. I.e. produce empathetic action. The project success will be assessed in the following ways: 1. The subcommittee and lead artist will educate downtown businesses about the project and its goals, and then following up in the fall of 2021 to survey business owners. Narrative and written data will be collected. The director of the Chamber of Commerce is on the subcommittee and information will be disseminated through him to the business coalition. 2. Those who participate in generating narratives in response to various questions about DETOUR and WAITING, will also be invited to provide written and/or verbal feedback. 3. There will be documentation through various community partners collecting qualitative data, including the visitors bureau and other arts partners. And a final debrief and evaluation will happen with the city public works department and the county engineer.","One of the main directives of the Cook County Creative Economy Collaborative (CEC) is to help address community issues through creative and artistic means. Our three project goals centered around addressing the major highway reconstruction project in downtown Grand Marais. We were able to, in an interesting and fun way, acknowledge the encumbrance and frustration that can come with physical detours. And we were able to provide those passing by the detour signs with a way to step back and engage with narratives that described other life detours, thus connecting the viewer with their own life experiences and creating a new mental space.

A list of proposed land restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.",,"A statewide review of Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) found that wetlands are one of the three habitat types (along with prairies and rivers) most used by these species. The almost 5,000 acres of wetland enhancement will provide wetland management actions identified to support SGCN, including reversal of wetland degradation and control of invasives. In the Minnesota County Biological Survey description of the marsh community, special attention is given to two issues faced in Minnesota marshes - stable high water levels that reduce species diversity, often to a point at which a monotypic system evolves, and the ""invasion of marshes by the non-native species narrow-leaved cattail"" and its hybrids. Both of these issues were directly addressed by the major cattail control activities involving the Roving Habitat Crew, along with water level management that will now be possible through because of newly installed wetland infrastructure projects.","A total of 8,359 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 8,359 in Enhance.",,,3033700,228400,,9,DNR,"State Government","Funding through this appropriation enhanced 8,359 acres of wetland habitat. Included in this work were six infrastructure projects that enhanced 871 acres and a Douglas County wetland restoration was done in cooperation with Pheasants Forever. Wetland management actions by the Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew enhanced almost 7,500 wetland acres through work on prescribed burns, herbicide applications, and removal of woody vegetation. Survey and design work in Rice County gathered information for possible future construction. The Wetland Management Program was initiated through this appropriation and Shallow Lakes Program staff continued their valuable assessments and habitat project work.","ML19 Accelerated Shallow Lake and Wetlands Enhancements Phase 11 accomplishments include engineering and construction of individual projects, a stand-alone engineering project, specific wetland enhancement actions by the Roving Habitat Crew, and Wetland Management Program and Shallow Lakes Program assessment and project work. Engineering and Construction Projects - Projects were undertaken to provide shallow lake and wetland enhancement totaling 871 acres through the engineering and construction of water control structures and other infrastructure at six project sites. The DNR cooperated with Pheasants Forever in restoring a Douglas County wetland. No acres are being reported by the DNR for this restoration, as Pheasants Forever will report them. Stand-alone Engineering: Shallow lake and wetland projects can be complex and require detailed surveys and engineering. Stand-alone engineering projects provide the initial work to guide future construction, establish detailed cost estimates, and identify potential issues. One project in Rice County had this work done through this appropriation. Work is already underway to use this information to move ahead with construction. Management Actions: Active management of shallow lakes and wetlands to enhance habitat involves a number of activities that promote management of vegetation (removal of undesirable vegetation or promoting desired vegetation), management of water levels to promote a desired condition, or removal of detrimental fish species. Nine projects totaling almost 7,500 acres were conducted and involved prescribed burning of wetlands, removal of woody vegetation, and herbicide applications. Roving Habitat Crews: Roving Habitat Crews are teams of highly trained staff who are equipped to perform habitat enhancement projects on public lands. Funding from this appropriation was provided to the Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew to enable it to perform wetland enhancement activities through the addition of two roving crew members and their associated costs for three fiscal years. Typical wetland enhancement activities undertaken by Roving Habitat Crews include prescribed burns of wetlands, removal of invasive species and trees, and support of shallow lake drawdowns. Of special note, Roving Habitat Crews provide the critical ground support staff for aerial cattail spraying. The Roving Habitat Crew supported by this appropriation was active in this work and the resulting acres will be reported in the Final Report for the appropriation that funded the helicopters and herbicide costs. This work would not be possible but for the critical role played by the Roving Habitat crews. Wetland Management Program/Shallow Lakes Program: The Wetland Management and Shallow Lakes Programs are single-focused programs that perform habitat assessments to identify wetlands and shallow lakes with poor habitat and in need of management, identify type of management possible, then implement management. Finally, follow up assessments are done to evaluate management success and formulate adaptive management strategies. These specialists also work with NGOs to implement management. These efforts on wetlands and shallow lakes requires both expertise in permitting and on-the-ground implementation and could not be done without these specialized staff.",,2019-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ricky,Lien,"Minnesota DNR","500 Layette ","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5227,ricky.lien@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Douglas, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, Lyon, Mahnomen, Martin, Norman, Polk, Rice, Roseau, Sibley, St. Louis","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/shallow-lakes-and-wetlands-enhancements-phase-11,,,,

While I have participated in markets and juried art shows in Duluth before, this longer-term display of my work will be an important opportunity to share my work with more people outside of the small town I reside in. Thus my overall goal for this show is to create a collection of excellent, well-made, beautiful tapestry weavings that will represent my work well to a new audience. Beyond sharing my own work with this audience, I also hope to expose more people to the art of modern tapestry in general, particularly its accessibility, novelty, and the exciting creative and artistic possibilities it holds. The specific outcomes I will achieve are: - Complete the agreed upon number of artworks (15) - Deliver them by the date agreed upon with the gallery (April 1) - As part of the show, create a small display about how tapestries are made, to educate the visiting public about the process of tapestry weaving I will be successful if I complete the agreed upon number of weavings (15) by April 1, install them in the Enger Lofts Building in Duluth as agreed with the gallery manager, and complete a small educational display about tapestry weaving to be shown with the work itself.

This appropriation represents a continuing effort to complete the mapping. The soil surveys must be done on a cost-share basis with local and federal funds.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,4193600,,,,,,BWSR,"State Government","The Minnesota Soil Survey is an ongoing effort by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) that is systematically collecting and mapping data pertaining to soil types and other soil properties in each county of the state. Soils data is used by governments, farmers, and other businesses for a number of purposes from protection and restoration of soil, water, wetlands, and habitats to agricultural soil management to building construction. This appropriation will accelerate the mapping and digitization of soil surveys for Crow Wing, Pine, Koochiching, Lake, Cook, and Saint Louis counties. Overall Project Outcome and Results Accurate soils information is essential for evaluating the potential for land to support development, crop and forest production, and for identifying the most suitable locations for conservation practices and other land uses. Readily accessible local soil information is critical to informing conservation decisions and provides a foundation for sustainable land use planning. The soil survey is the mechanism for how this basic natural resource information is made available to land use authorities and landowners to make the best land use decisions. In the ongoing, multi-year project to map, classify, interpret, and Web-publish an inventory of the soils of Minnesota, this two-year phase of the project focused on accelerating the completion of a Statewide soil survey, increase soil mapping in targeted areas, and enhancing soils data through increased sample collection, availability and interpretation. Specifically: 330,000 acres mapped in Crow Wing County; 32,000 acres mapped in Pine County; 85,000 acres mapped in Koochiching County; 80,000 acres mapped in the Crane Lake subset of St. Louis County; 219,000 acres mapped in Lake County; 114,000 acres mapped in Cook County; Data from 1,000 soil samples (some dating back to the 1970's) were interpreted for the first time and incorporated into Soil Surveys for many Minnesota counties; Land use effects on soil carbon were determined on 122 sites in 14 counties throughout the State; this data can be used to develop soil carbon management guidance.   The soil survey project was extremely successful and many of the mapping goals were exceeded. Mapping surpassed initial acreage goals in both Crow Wing, Lake, Cook and Pine Counties, and the soil surveys for Koochiching and St. Louis Counties were completed 1 year ahead of schedule. A report detailing the results of re-analysis of lab samples from the 1970's highlighting land use impacts on soil carbon is available below and on BWSR's State Soil Office website. Project Results Use and Dissemination The Soil Survey project funded by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund is highlighted as a BWSR feature project on the Agency's home page. All the data, mapping information, and interpretations are available on the Web Soil Survey as a user-friendly, GIS-based application. Web Soil Survey provides soil data and information produced by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. It is operated by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and provides access to the largest natural resource information system in the world.   Project Publication: Historical C Project Report on land use impacts on soil carbon ",,"Final Report ",2009-07-01,2011-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,"Greg ",Larson,"Board of Water and Soil Resources","520 Lafayette Rd N","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-297-7029,greg.a.larson@state.mn.us,"Analysis/Interpretation, Digitization/Online Information Access, Inventory, Mapping","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Cook, Crow Wing, Isanti, Koochiching, Lake, Pine",,"Cottonwood River",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/soil-survey,,,,

These types of systems rely on materials such as wood and grasses sourced from the surrounding area as fuel sources for local energy production. However, many questions still remain about how to effectively and sustainably implement these types of community bioenergy systems. Dovetail Partners is piloting an effort with the City of Ely and Cook County to develop the information and tools necessary for communities to assess the viability of these types of energy systems based on the resources available within their own regions. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project helps guide development of sustainable community-scale forest bioenergy programs in Northeast Minnesota and provides examples from the region to assist communities statewide considering similar projects. Locally produced, community-based renewable energy systems hold significant promise for increasing energy security, reducing carbon emissions, and contributing to local economies. The goals of this project were to develop and share information and tools that address key questions about the viability of community bioenergy systems. During the first phase, existing models and planning tools were adapted to evaluate feasibility, impacts, and management needs for community-scale and other small bioenergy applications being proposed in Ely and Cook County. During the second phase of the project, the information and tools developed in Ely and Cook County were shared with communities, land managers, policymakers, investors, and others interested in the long-term prospects and viability of locally produced bioenergy. The results of the project indicate that there are abundant potential biomass supplies that could meet the needs of the community-scaled biomass energy projects being considered. The financial analysis illustrates that a number of the projects being considered have reasonable potential payback periods and other positive indications of financial feasibility. The environmental review reports summarize major considerations that were identified in interviews with local stakeholders and provide information about the mitigations that are in place to manage risk (e.g., Minnesota""s use of biomass harvesting guidelines, third-party forest certification and ecological monitoring). At this time, the community of Ely is considering options for moving forward with a biomass system or systems that could serve the community college, hospital, school and/or other facilities. The community of Grand Marais has completed additional engineering analysis for a potential district heating system that could serve a number of public buildings and private businesses that represent the major potential customers for the system. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< The study team has prepared and made publicly available the final reports and fact sheets from the project that address the estimates of available fuel supplies for biomass facilities in Ely and Cook County and evaluations of potential environmental impacts and available mitigations. An additional report, ""Community-Driven Biomass Energy Opportunities - A Northern Minnesota Case Study"" has been prepared and made publicly available. The report highlights the findings from the projects and also describes the approach and community-driven structure of the project, conclusions and recommendations that can assist other communities facing similar questions and decisions about renewable energy. The fact sheets, complete reports and the executive summary report are available at the project website (http://www.dovetailinc.org/content/lccmr-supporting-community-driven-sustainable-bioenergy-projects).

I plan on capturing 40 three- to five-star Milky Way shots with each lens within the first year of owning them. With the 20mm, I'll capture shots with detailed foregrounds. With the 35mm, I'll capture pictures of the galactic core. I currently have a Milky Way presentation that I give to Milky Way Photography students and that is available for photography clubs. The missing component is how to photograph the galactic core and how to use fast lenses to capture both the Milky Way and a visible foreground. I will use the lenses to add four slides on each subject to my Milky Way presentation. Because my measurable outcomes are based on numbers, the method of evaluating the outcomes will be to see if I achieve those numbers. For the goal of taking 40 three- to five-star images, I'll count the number of images at the end of the year.

During a typical Milky Way outing, I capture 2 to 3 three- to five-star images. Typically, I make it to 2 to 3 locations a night.

I will instantly be able to assess whether they enable me to utilize techniques with longer exposures. Those photographs will include elements such as smooth water surfaces, soft flowing water, improved balance of light and tone. Many photographs will convey a story or emotion and will draw viewers in for a closer look and more in-depth experience and emotional connection with the art.

The chief metric for success is the production of CD quality music. Music that has more than just two tracks of guitar but has multiple tracks including drums, bass, vocals, keys and horns. Many instruments I could use are achieved by software synthesizers or soft synths. Soft synths are implemented in software and are highly CPU intensive. Drums, keyboard sounds and horns are some of these. Using additional soft synths each contained in separate tracks and that is part of a single song (or project file) presents too much load on my current computer and can't be done. This is a limitation. Step 1 Configuration: Choose a computer compatible with existing audio hardware and software. PC will meet Cakewalk Sonar X3 hardware compatibility and maximize processor and memory requirements with given monetary constraints. Step 2 Installation and Migration: Install audio drivers for new operating system. Configure secondary disk for optimal audio recording. Install Cakewalk Sonar X3 and aux programs. Copy existing audio files, project templates and project files. Step 3 Testing: a) remix and master an existing project and listen to results. b) do recording of short songs from scratch. c) tweak configuration. Repeat a-c until satisfied using Cakewalk tech support to resolve any issues. Step 4 Full Project: Produce an original song utilizing all tools and multiple tracks which will include the following elements: MIDI input, software synthesizers, audio recording, effects, mixing and mastering.","I ordered the computer direct from Hewett-Packard and received it.

I plan to exhibit the work created with Arrowhead Regional Arts Council funding there in the early summer (May/June) of 2017. I anticipate bigger work being created here in the future. Though having recent exhibitions in Hawaii, Kansas City and Spokane, my current list of upcoming shows has dwindled. However, this is usually the best time for many artists to make work and apply for future shows. Applications for the McKnight Artist Fellowship and several Twin Cities galleries will be a focus over the next year. I can respond in my final report to the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council about my search for exhibitions pending funding.","Larger wall installations with the help of new computer.

The additional skill and capacity created will allow us to fully execute and implement the marketing plan created by Zeitgeist Arts and Steam Creative. By the end of the first year of this position, Zeitgeist Arts will have done the administrative legwork and be positioned to fully engage with the community via all available media and marketing means. In the long term, this will result in increased revenue across our cafe, cinema and theater venues. This increased revenue will provide the funds to sustain the Communications Coordinator position, as well as sustain and grow our organization. It will also result in a benefit for the artistic community as we will have the ability to increase programming, increase the audience for those pieces of programming and provide more and more ways for artists to showcase their work, and be paid for their work. The marketing plan designed by Zeitgeist Arts and Steam Creative (and attached to this application) provides a detailed, organized and measurable roadmap for the Communications Coordinator to follow. Via regular meetings with the Creative Director and other key management staff, priorities will be assigned, goals will be met, and progress will be made. Our goal over the first 8 to 12 months is to accomplish 75% or more of this marketing plan, and have a maintenance and expansion model in place to sustain the communications work we've done and expand on it. To measure our long term goal of increased revenue and programming capacity for area artists, we will review and evaluate box office receipts, and compare them with similar events from previous years.

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

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

ABC project coordinators work hand-in-hand with partners to manage project implementation. ABC also uses GIS to track completed work via GPS units and satellite imagery, allowing us to assess final completed acres with the highest degree of accuracy possible. Project work is also evaluated by project coordinators that mange ongoing project operations and visit completed sites to confirm that they fall within the post treatment conditions defined in the project management plan. Protected, restored, and enhanced nesting and migratory habitat for waterfowl, upland birds, and species of greatest conservation need - The majority of work will be completed in the Northern Forest Region, with an undetermined percentage of project acres falling within the Forest-Prairie Transition Region. In Phases I-III, a number of sites were located at the border of these two regions and in Phase IV this is likely to continue with some habitat projects and prescribed fire units also falling in the Forest-Prairie region.

This work also benefits a suite of associated deciduous and mixed forest habitat species within a diverse, contiguous landscape-level forest matrix. Through Phases I-III, ABC completed 9,204 acres of high-quality early successional habitat projects. Phase IV will continue habitat treatments on an additional 4,360+ acres in Phase IV, while expanding project work to include additional bird species, including, but not limited to, Red-headed Woodpecker and Sharp-tailed Grouse.","In Young Forest Conservation Phases I-III (2013-present), American Bird Conservancy (ABC) completed 9,204 acres of breeding habitat projects for the Golden-winged Warbler (GWWA), American Woodcock (AMWO), Ruffed Grouse (RUGR), and associated early successional forest and brushland species. To achieve this, ABC worked collaboratively with County, Tribal, State, Federal, and NGO partners. In Phase IV, ABC will continue to use science-based best management practices (BMPs) to implement projects on permanently protected lands, creating 4,360+ acres of habitat over five years. In Phase IV, ABC will continue to prioritize projects in early successional deciduous forest habitats, and expand to include additional complimentary treatments in mixed forest covertypes to benefit young forest cohorts such as White-throated Sparrow, Veery, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak. ABC will also complete a limited number of projects in adjacent brushland and oak savanna habitats to benefit Red-headed Woodpecker (RHWO) and Sharp-tailed Grouse (STGR). Projects will be completed using science-based best management practices within consensus focal regions. From 2015-2018, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology finished a program to monitor species response on Phase I-II project sites. Monitors evaluated point locations within ABC-managed sites, observing a positive effect on GWWA and AMWO occupancy, resulting in >90% relative occupancy on shrubland data points of managed sites in Minnesota by year three. GWWA density nearly doubled and AMWO density increased to 1 male/4.84 acres. Cutting projects emulate natural disturbance by reducing the density of woody vegetation (mostly brush) in non-commercial stands to create nesting, brood rearing, and browsing habitat. Mature trees and patchy, woody structure are retained to create site-level structural diversity to maintain perches for male GWWAs to claim territory and attract females, while providing nesting and forage for associated wildlife species. Prescribed fire projects may be implemented in disturbance dependent habitats within established burn units with approved burn plans in forest, oak savanna, and shrubland habitats. Treatments will be completed on sites that have become overgrown with brush species that reduce ecological heterogeneity and limit the habitat's viability to meet life-cycle needs of a suite of migratory and resident bird species. The loss or degradation of these habitat types and transition zones greatly reduces the capacity of these areas to support robust wildlife populations. Planting projects will focus on creating young forest habitat, expanding forest contiguity, and increasing habitat connectivity. Focal areas include, but are not limited to, DNR Wildlife Management Areas, Audubon Minnesota Important Bird Areas, and focal management regions for at-risk bird species. Treatment of invasive species or woody encroachment via herbicide application may be implemented if complimentary to other projects described herein. Treatments will utilize guidance provided by the Minnesota Management Plan for Invasive Species, written by the Minnesota Invasive Species Advisory Council. ABC provides technical and project management assistance to partners for all project phases, while engaging in cooperative forums, outreach, and continuing education associated with forest habitat.
