All acquisitions will occur in the prairie, prairie/forest transition, or metro regions. ","The loss of grassland and wetland habitats in Minnesota is well documented. In the agricultural region of Minnesota over 90% of our wetlands and 99% our prairie grasslands have been converted for other uses. This proposal aims to slow or reverse this downward trend by strategically acquiring and restoring previously converted wetland and grassland habitats to be permanently protected as WPAs. 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). This eleventh phase of the WPA acceleration program builds upon past work of the USFWS SWAP as well as the previous ten phases of this effort by strategically acquiring 1,003 acres (241 acres of wetlands and 762 acres of grassland habitat) for the benefit of upland species and recreational opportunities of the public. Strategic properties will be identified by using landscape level planning tools [e.g. Thunderstorm Maps produced by the USFWS’s Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET)]. Based on HAPET evaluation strategies, modeling predictions can be made on the numbers of nesting waterfowl, grassland nesting birds, and other wildlife the acres impacted by this grant application can produce. In addition to wildlife benefits, the lands acquired and restored through this grant will provide improved water quality, groundwater recharge, and flood abatement benefits. These strategies are well tested and are supported by the greater conservation community in Minnesota. Hunting and fishing stakeholders are very interested in increasing 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 USFWS and PF will notify counties prior to the acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the USFWS will make a one-time payment (called a Trust Fund payment) to the county where the property is located. In addition, the USFWS will make annual refuge revenue sharing payments for all fee lands within the respective counties.Additional funding for restoration and development 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. All wetlands, on the properties acquired, will be restored by either surface ditch “plugs"", breaking sub-surface tile lines, or other best practices for wetland restoration. Grasslands will be restored by planting site-appropriate native grasses and forbs following known best practices for the establishment. Grassland restoration on individual tracts may take three to five years, involving one to two years of post-acquisition farming to prepare the site for seeding (e.g. weed management issues, chemical carryover, other site-specific issues).

The measure of success will be the number of functioning prairie wetland complexes that provide adequate wetland and grassland acres within a landscape.

These ""working land"" conservation easements allow delayed haying and grazing while protecting restored wetlands and prairie grasslands for nesting ducks, pheasants, and other wildlife. By restoring and protecting grassland and wetland habitat while allowing for continued landowner use of these working private lands, USFWS habitat easements fill an important prairie landscape conservation niche that complements other more restrictive easements and fee-title public lands, and buffers existing habitats.","Ducks Unlimited (DU) and Pheasants Forever (PF) will purchase, record, and transfer wildlife habitat conservation easements to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) for long-term perpetual monitoring and enforcement in west-central Minnesota using federally-approved USFWS habitat conservation easement language and federal payment rates. DU and PF will restore drained wetlands and cropland back to prairie grassland. DU will purchase and hold easements through it's Wetlands America Trust (WAT), DU's supporting land-holding fiduciary organization, of which DU is the sole corporate member. By purchasing easements and restoring grasslands and wetlands for USFWS with OHF support, DU and PF will effectively accelerate the rate at which USFWS can protect grassland and wetlands in key focus landscapes in which there are also many state and federal wildlife lands owned and managed in fee-title, and other lands protected by more restrictive conservation easements. These are some of the most productive landscapes in the state for breeding waterfowl and other prairie wildlife including pheasants, and these private working land conservation easements complement other federal, state, and private conservation easement options available to landowners. USFWS habitat conservation easements not only include protection measures that prevent wetland/prairie conversion and land development/subdivision, but importantly, they also secure rights to restore wetlands and prairie grassland where feasible too - which is the primary purpose of this OHF easement program. DU/PF will help USFWS conduct landowner outreach, prioritize offers of federally-approved easement payments, and conduct landowner negotiations, boundary survey, environmental review, title review, and other legal tasks, and purchase the easement for USFWS. DU/PF will protect prairie and wetlands via easements we purchase (and restore where needed), record, and transfer to USFWS. DU/PF will also use OHF grant funds to restore additional prairie and wetland acres on land eased directly by USFWS as leverage. DU/PF will restore eased lands in partnership with the USFWS with technical guidance from their private lands biologists. DU engineers will survey/design larger complex wetland restorations, and manage restoration contracts to private earth-moving firms. USFWS ""Habitat Easements"" have been used here for over two decades, and are designed to provide a habitat protection conservation tool to complement public lands habitat complexes such as federal Waterfowl Production Areas and state Wildlife Management Areas, by keeping privately owned restored grassland and wetland habitat intact and on county tax rolls while allowing for working use of the land. These easements provide landowners with the option of either delayed haying (after July 15) or both grazing and delayed haying, which results in adequate habitat for wetland and upland nesting birds and a working land use option that appeals to some private landowners. Importantly, these working land easements also help manage plant succession on their land, which is critical to preventing the encroachment of volunteer trees and invasive plant species. Well-managed grazing, delayed haying, and USFWS prescribed fire also benefits those grassland bird species that prefer more open prairie habitats, such as northern pintail, marbled godwit, snipe, and many other prairie species.",,2021-07-01,2025-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road ",Alexandria,MN,56308,3207629916,jschneider@ducks.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Douglas, Grant, Kandiyohi, Meeker, Otter Tail, Pope, Swift","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerating-usfws-habitat-conservation-easement-program-phase-iii,,,,

Currently over 90% of wetland and 99% of grassland habitats have been converted to other uses. This proposal works to slow this decline by acquiring and restoring previously converted wetland and grassland habitat as permanently protected WPA's. 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. This thirteenth phase of the WPA acceleration program provides public access and builds upon past work of the USFWS SWAP as well as the previous twelve phases of this effort. Properties will be identified by using landscape level planning tools such as USFWS' Duck Breeding Density Maps, as well as MN DNR natural heritage data and numerous state level conservation plans. In addition to wildlife benefits, the lands acquired and restored through this grant will provide improved water quality, groundwater recharge, and flood abatement benefits. These strategies are well tested and are supported by the greater conservation community in Minnesota. To address concerns related to county tax revenues due to acquiring public land, the USFWS and PF will notify counties prior to the acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the USFWS will make a one-time payment (called a Trust Fund payment) to the county where the property is located. In addition, the USFWS will make annual refuge revenue sharing payments for all fee lands within the respective counties. All wetlands, on the properties acquired, will be restored by either surface ditch ?plugs,"" breaking sub-surface tile lines, or other best practices for wetland restoration. Grasslands will be restored by planting site-appropriate native grasses and forbs following known best practices for the establishment. Grassland restoration on individual tracts may take three to five years, involving one to two years of post-acquisition farming to prepare the site for seeding (e.g. weed management issues, chemical carryover, other site-specific issues).

These structures will provide the Minnesota DNR and US Fish & Wildlife Service with water level control capability to conduct temporary, periodic draw-downs that will improve wetland habitat quality. DU will also engineer two or more additional shallow lake improvement projects for future implementation 2010 and 2011. As approved by the Council, DU will also use up to $400,000 in grant funding to secure permanent conservation easement(s) on 180 acres on one or more shallow lake to protect shoreland and help buffer basins important to waterfowl.","Shallow lakes and large wetlands throughout Minnesota have become degraded due to high, stable water levels, altered natural hydrology, lack of natural fish winterkill, and invasive animal and plant species. Through our Living Lakes Initiative, DU provides wetland bio-engineering assistance to help the Minnesota DNR and US Fish & Wildlife Service structurally improve shallow lakes outlets and enhance the habitat quality of wetlands throughout Minnesota. DU will implement 8 shallow lake projects previously engineered that will enhance nearly 6,000 acres of wetland habitat, and will complete final engineering plans of several additional projects for future implementation. The implementation of these 8 projects constitute the immediate backlog of complex shallow lake and large wetland water control structure and/or fish barrier projects previously engineered by DU for DNR and the Service. Structures will be constructed by private contractors hired by DU in fall 2009 (throughout competitive bid process) on public land or on private land under permanent easement with DNR or the Service, and structures will be subsequently used in 2010 by state or federal land management staff to conduct temporary draw-downs to improve shallow lake ecology and habitat for waterfowl and other migratory birds by reducing invasive fish and rejuvenating aquatic plants and invertebrates. DU staff will provide final engineering and construction management oversight throughout the construction process, and will solicit competitive bids and award construction contracts to private firms to implement the projects. Basins will be slowly reflooded in 2011 or 2012 once aquatic plants become reestablished. This periodic, temporary water level ""draw-down"" management process simulates natural drought conditions that are vital to rejuvenating aquatic ecology in wetlands, and is routinely used by DNR and the Service. Support from private landowners and other stakeholders such as local sportsmen groups is secured in advance of project implementation through the DNR's wildlife lake designation process and lake management plan development process.    This grant will also fund DU bio-engineering staff that will assess turbid shallow lakes and develop new engineering plans for additional projects that can be implemented in the future. This will include all aspects of engineering (survey, design, plans and specifications), assisting state and federal agencies in assessing basins and securing structure or flowage easements from private landowners, permits, and assisting the legal ""wildlife lake"" designation process required to allow active water level management of additional shallow lakes. Funds to construct these additional shallow lake projects engineered through this grant will be subsequently requested from the LOHC in the future.   Du will also use up to $400,000 in grant funds to secure permanent conservation easements on 180 acres along a managed shallow lake to protect it's shoreland, including making 80 acres of restored prairie habitat now in CRP permanent. These easements will be held and annually monitored by DU. Long-term conservation easement stewardship funding will be provided by these grant funds, through donation from the private landowner to ensure future monitoring and management of lands protected under permanent easement.  Conservation easements will protect sensitive shallow lake shoreland buffers, and limit future development and subdivision activities that can disrupt shallow lakes and complicate shallow lake water level management by agencies.","Final Report",2009-07-01,2012-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road ",Alexandria,None,56308,3207629916,jschneider@ducks.org,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Douglas, Faribault, Grant, Lac qui Parle, Murray, Stearns, Stearns",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-shallow-lake-restorations-and-enhancements,,,,

Partners were highly successful at securing parcels as evidenced with a 86% acquisition completion rate (12 out of 14 projects closed) because appraisal values were competitive due to the fact most transactions were completed before the agricultural market boom in 2012. All of the acquired parcels are additions onto existing permanently protected wildlife habitat complexes creating an even larger benefit to waterfowl and the myriad of wildlife species that depend on these wetland / grassland habitats.

Wetlands restorations of various types, including seasonal wetlands, were restored by breaking drain tile lines, filling drainage ditches, constructing earthen dams, and installing water control structures. Invasive tree removal work was completed on many of these newly acquired lands and all agricultural fields restored to grasslands were restored using a broadcast or drill seeded method with a diverse mix of native grasses and forb species.

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

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.

These projects are good examples of the benefits of OHF. Low diversity grasslands provide some habitat for wildlife. These funds allow us to enhance and improve these habitats, going above and beyond what we could do without these funds. By far our most effective management tool is prescribed fire and we were able to burn over 48,000 acres, just over 75 square miles, with these funds.Our acre estimate is probably a low number, especially for woody removal. Trees in grasslands affect both the immediate area as well as the surrounding area. Generally we remove trees to increase nest success in the surrounding areas. While we may only record one acre of tree removal, we’re enhancing nest success for an entire WMA.This was the fourth appropriation for the DNR's programmatic Grassland Enhancement efforts. The primary focus for the Wildlife Section of this appropriation was the use of two Roving Crews, in Region One (located in Polk County) and Region 3 (located in Dakota County). Roving Crews are self-contained habitat enhancement programs. One hundred percent of their time is dedicated to habitat enhancement. In addition, we worked with local contractors to do additional habitat work on WMAs and SNAs.Division of Ecological and Water Resource staff funded on this appropriation did a variety of tasks, including writing contracts for woody removal projects and prescribed burns, firebreak installation, prescribed burn planning and execution, prairie reconstruction, and smaller invasive removal projects. CCM crews were contracted for many projects to add additional abilities. Specifically noteworthy, southern region EWR hires a CCM crew for several weeks in the spring each year to build support into the DNR burn crew (there would not be enough staff for a crew without CCM).In addition to these data, we also provide the following narratives showing the outputs and outcomes of several of the projects on the parcel list.The Cuka WMA project involved the removal of scattered invasive volunteer trees from 130 acres of native and restored prairie. A DNR survey on June 11, 2013 revealed the presence of at least 508 individual clusters of Small White Lady Slipper orchids. The orchid is abundant on Cuka WMA and this tree removal was management that is a direct positive for the preservation of this species. The removal of predator perches and den trees was one objective that appears to have been successfully met based upon the pheasant production that has been observed on this unit in recent years. One hunter has harvested a 2 bird limit on every pheasant opener for the last four years.A large portion of Benson WMA was already a quality restored grassland and wetland complex when acquired, but had thousands of trees covering the WMA. Without treatment, the site would have soon lost its open nature and grassland wildlife. The site includes a very high quality remnant prairie that we use to harvest local ecotype seed for nearby WMA restorations.Two Rivers Aspen Parkland SNA is a 1400 acre high quality brush prairie that was being invaded by aspen. This transition can be devastating to many wildlife species, particularly sharp tailed grouse as they tend to abandon these areas once they transition. After the prescribed burn and woody removal projects, there was a significant increase in sharp tailed grouse observations.Sweetwater WMA has two tracts totaling 430 acres. These tracts are part of a contiguous complex of public lands, including roughly 1,000 acres of Waterfowl Production Areas and 500 acres of WMA in the heart of Lac qui Parle County – an area with a rich history of waterfowl and upland bird hunting. The tree removal work on Sweetwater WMA compliments ongoing habitat acquisitions, restorations and enhancements being done in this area through partnerships among USFWS, MNDNR, TNC, PF and DU.Cooperative Farming Agreement fields totaling nineteen acres on four WMAs in the south Metro were retired. The fields were planted to a diverse mix native grasses and forbs. This will benefit pollinators as well as providing additional nesting cover. These WMAs are relatively close to the Metro Area, proving both wildlife habitat as well as hunting and other recreational opportunities for Twin Cities residents.Because this is a programmatic appropriation, it’s difficult to assign a dollar amount to a specific project.

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,,,,

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

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

DU and PF will restore drained wetlands and cropland back to prairie grassland, and enhance existing habitats. USFWS currently has robust Migratory Bird Conservation Fund (MBCF) budgets to purchase habitat conservation easements, but these funds cannot be used to restore or enhance lands protected. By restoring grasslands and wetlands for USFWS with OHF support, DU and PF will effectively accelerate the rate at which USFWS can protect grassland and wetlands in key focus landscapes in which there are also many state and federal wildlife lands owned and managed in fee-title, and other lands protected by more restrictive conservation easements. These are some of the most productive landscapes in the state for breeding waterfowl and other prairie wildlife including pheasants, and these private working land conservation easements complement other federal, state, and private conservation easement options available to landowners. USFWS habitat conservation easements not only include protection measures that prevent wetland/prairie conversion and land development/subdivision, but importantly, they also secure rights to restore wetlands and prairie grassland where feasible too - which is the primary purpose of this OHF easement program. DU and PF will restore and enhance private lands eased by USFWS in partnership with the USFWS with technical guidance from their private lands biologists and using private contractors to seed native prairie grass, remove trees, and restore wetlands. DU engineers will survey/design larger complex wetland restorations, and manage restoration contracts to private earth-moving firms. Importantly, as some of these ""working private land"" easements allow managed livestock grazing, some restoration and enhancement work will include paying contractors to remove old fences and install new fences to facilitate managed rotational grazing systems that protect grassland and wetlands habitats while improving wildlife habitat cover by limiting trees and invasive plants and providing landowners with the opportunity to actively manage/maintain their land. USFWS ""Habitat Easements"" have been purchased here for over three decades, and are designed as a habitat protection conservation tool to complement public lands habitat complexes such as federal Waterfowl Production Areas and state Wildlife Management Areas, by keeping privately owned restored grassland and wetland habitat intact and on county tax rolls while allowing for working use of the land. These easements provide landowners with the option of either delayed haying (after July 15) or both grazing and delayed haying, which results in adequate habitat for wetland and upland nesting birds and a working land use option that appeals to some private landowners. Importantly, these working land easements also help manage plant succession on their land, which is critical to prevent the encroachment of volunteer trees and invasive plant species.

Easement acquisition focused on Minnesota Prairie Plan identified landscapes and targeted high-quality prairies that provide valuable wildlife habitat. ","The loss of native prairie and associated grassland habitat is arguably the greatest conservation challenge facing western and southern Minnesota. This appropriation aimed to protect 415 acres of native prairie and supporting habitat by accelerating the enrollment of Native Prairie Bank easements. Ultimately, 402 acres was protected through this appropriation, just shy of the originally 415-acre goal. Acceleration, such as this, is necessary to address the loss of native prairie and associated grasslands. Today, only about 1.3% of Minnesota's original 18 million acres of prairie remains. The few remaining acres of native prairie once were thought of as unsuitable for crop production, however with advancements in technology and equipment, in addition to growing competition for tillable acres, this is no longer the case. Unfortunately, grassland-to-cropland conversion is not the only impact to native prairie, significant degradation and loss is also occurring due to property development, aggregate extraction, and lack of prairie-oriented management. If the current trajectory of grassland and prairie loss continues it will be devastating to grassland dependent wildlife populations. Recognizing that protecting grassland and wetland habitat is one of the most critical conservation challenges facing Minnesota, over a dozen leading conservation organizations have developed a road map for moving forward - the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. This plan calls for several outcomes, one being the protection of all remaining native prairie, largely through conservation easements. One of the primary easement tools for native prairie protection in Minnesota is the DNR administered Native Prairie Bank easement. Native Prairie Bank was established by the 1987 legislature to protect private native prairie lands by authorizing the state to acquire conservation easements from willing landowners. Native Prairie Bank targets the protection of native prairie tracts but can also include adjoining lands as buffers and additional habitat. Eligible tracts were to be located within priority landscapes identified in the Minnesota Prairie Plan and prioritized based on several evaluation factors including: 1) Size and quality of habitat, focusing on diverse native prairie communities that have been identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey 2) The occurrence of rare species, or suitability habitat for rare species 3) Lands that are part of a larger habitat complex Ultimately, 7 parcels for a total of 402 acres were perpetually protected through this appropriation via Native Prairie Bank Easements. These now protected native prairies are unique natural resources that consist of thousands of different organisms, plants, animals, bacteria, and soil fungi. Their complex interactions provide the food, water and shelter required by many of Minnesota?s rare, threatened, and endangered species. These prairies house a wide variety of pollinator species, some of which often cannot survive in other habitats, including prairie restorations.

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.

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.

We can provide high-quality entertainment and musical education to our community members, many of whom might not be able to see and hear, in person, this quality of music and performance in different genres. Another goal is to play our part in instilling the arts into our community and the public life of our region. The New London Music Festival has become a yearly tradition where people can come to enjoy the day and experience the rich, live-music tradition of our region and our country. We feel that this is very much in tune with a civic goal of the city of New London: to make the arts an everyday part of community life. We have consciously attempted, over the past several years, to involve even more local businesses and organizations with the festival, whether in sponsorships, donations in kind, or as part of the group of vendors who provide food for the festival. We want to make the Festival, as much as possible, a completely local event celebrating the arts in New London. We have continued to have success in the past two years and will continue to pursue our goal of increasing the number of attendees between the ages of 25-50, who have been historically under-represented in our audiences. Each year the Festival Committee reviews survey forms, which are given to each attendee. Attendees are given an incentive to return the forms by the award of a cash door prize given to a randomly selected person who has filled out and returned a survey form. The results of this survey tell us a lot about the demographics of our audience, what they liked and disliked about the music and the artists, and what we can do better for next year. We also closely review attendance based on ticket sales and monitor comments left on our Facebook site, Website, and New London Music Festival e-mail. The comments are very useful as they help give us a sense of what genres of music are interesting and valuable to our audience and what new areas we might explore. A committee meeting is held following the Festival day each year to read, analyze, and discuss the results and plan for the coming year. We measure our success in terms of total attendance (although we need to factor in local weather conditions on Festival day), attendance increases within the 25-50 age group we have targeted to build up and increases in survey approval ratings from year to year, as well as specific comments made by our attendees.","96% of survey respondents rated the musical artists and variety/quality of the music as ?excellent"" or ?good."" When asked about the cost of tickets for this day of music, 72% said that the ticket cost was ?just right"" and 17% rated the ticket cost as ?a bargain"". We hoped to achieve an attendance level (tickets sold) of 275 people. We fell short of this goal as we sold 169 tickets. With promotional tickets counted in, our total was 210. With the pressure on local businesses to support myriad local causes and projects, only those projects that are perceived to be important to the community receive support. This year over 30 local businesses provided the festival with monetary or in-kind support.","Achieved some of the proposed outcomes",8709,"Other,local or private",14709,,"Steve Slominski, Mark Crellin, Rosemary Bentson, Abigail Duly, Bill Gossman, Bethany Lactorin, Mateo Mackbee",0.00,"New London Music Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"2019 New London Music Festival.",2019-02-15,2019-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Steve,Slominski,"New London Music Festival","PO Box 35","New London",MN,56273,"(320) 295-1615",newlondonmusicfestival@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Anoka, Chippewa, Douglas, Hennepin, Hubbard, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, Lyon, Meeker, Olmsted, Ramsey, Redwood, Renville, Scott, Stearns, Stevens, Swift, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-216,"Anne Dybsetter: visual art, writing; John Ginocchio: music, education; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Jane Nygaard: arts advocate; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University associate director for Access Opportunity Success program, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Tom Wirt: visual art.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women’s Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University 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; Scott Wessels: theater actor, director, writing, media, communications, board member for Green Earth Players; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, 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.","Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, Nicole DeBoer (507) 537-1471",1

We have added more members to the finance team to help with face-to-face contact, email, and letters. We are establishing a plan to go after larger sponsors for the festival, stages, and beer tent. 3) We are excited to build on the new knowledge and plans that we have received from Hunter-Sage. The increased spending in marketing will translate into increased attendance.","While we did not meet our goal of raising attendance to 3000, we found that our past calculations were not as accurate as we thought, but our new abilities to track through Square will give us better measurable results going forward. We developed stronger fundraising skills, both in the ask and broadening our reach to fans/volunteers as well as a wider reach into our community. Our total donations this year increased by 19% over 2018 and our In-Kind Donations increased by 27% over 2018. We developed a clear, consistent marketing message. We had an excellent experience working with a consultant. She went back through our history and developed a plan to give us a consistent message that was unique to RiverSong. She was able to identify areas that needed to be built up, inconsistencies in our message, graphics feedback, and marketing plans.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",112890,"Other,local or private",119890,,"Richie Kuttner, Carol Stark, Katy Hiltner, Betsy Price, Amber Erickson, Josh Campbell, Ronny Wilson, Angie Kuttner, Sue Ann Gabrelchik, Valerie Mackenthun, Pat May",0.00,"RiverSong Music Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"RiverSong Music Festival 2019.",2019-02-15,2019-11-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Betsy,Price,"RiverSong Music Festival","PO Box 667",Hutchinson,MN,55350,"(320) 587-7278",betsyprice446@yahoo.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"McLeod, Meeker, Sibley, Wright, Nicollet, Kandiyohi, Redwood, Stearns, Anoka, Ramsey, Hennepin, Washington, Scott, Dakota, Le Sueur, Renville, Cass, Cass, Todd, Douglas, Pope, Swift, Chippewa, Carver, Scott, Dakota, St. Louis, Wadena, Pine, Chisago",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-219,"Anne Dybsetter: visual art, writing; John Ginocchio: music, education; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Jane Nygaard: arts advocate; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University associate director for Access Opportunity Success program, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Tom Wirt: visual art.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women’s Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University 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; Scott Wessels: theater actor, director, writing, media, communications, board member for Green Earth Players; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2

Our project shows a way for artists, teachers and organizations to come together the help our children become more engaged, creative leaders in the society that will become theirs. We can bring together organizational elements that would normally not connect in their own pursuit of goals. This approach benefits both the Bonanza Education Center and the Big Stone Arts Council to effectively carry out their missions while instilling the high quality arts and environmental awareness into the community and public life in our region. In relation to the project goals, we will be collecting data, both numerically and anecdotally to measure the connectivity and outcomes with samplings of people served.

The Process; i.e. Daily content, roles of organizers, facilitators' volunteers, and activities. The Product; i.e. Creative work done by students and impact on audiences. The post-Project; i.e. Continued interaction, replication and continued education.","Post-test responses showed that half of respondents to our survey named art-related activities as their favorite thing. We included underserved youth and students from diverse cultural backgrounds.

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

We will know we succeeded based on the overall number of people who attend this show at the Pipestone Performing Arts Center a specifically how many students attend who also attended the master class. Bringing young community members to the Pipestone Performing Arts Center will show that we have achieved this goal. We will document this by counting attendance as we always do and specifically tracking the number of students and using a survey the night of the show to find out how many students who attended the master class attend the show and asking them how likely they are to attend future performances at the Pipestone Performing Arts Center, either as a performer or an audience member.","We sold 177 adult tickets and eighteen student tickets for a total of 195 tickets sold.

My current practice and teacher tend to be more sporadic than routine so having a schedule and a teacher that knows where to push and challenge students would be a great experience for me. If granted this opportunity, I would be challenged a lot with self discipline but excited to see the amount of growth I could have with such a driven and musically gifted teacher. Another goal would be to make time to practice: I could make myself a goal that I have no screen time or books (I am a bookwork) 5-6 days a week until I have put it the 30-45 minutes of practice time on the piano. I would be able to see myself grow as a pianist by my level of ability at the end of lessons with Mrs. Gilles. I could also record myself at the beginning of summer and then compare my playing at the end of the summer. I would imagine my playing would be more advanced with the amount of time needed for practice as well as weekly lessons. I have several music books that are too challenging for me right now, so I also could try them again after I have had more practice and teaching with Mrs. Gilles.","I was introduced to scratchboard, which I have never done before. Michele showed me how to try different tools to create a variety of textures. I learned how to play with the contrasting light and shadows. With the watercolor I was able to work on the details and quick sketches. We worked with a limited color palette to create various hues for painting and using shadows. At the conclusion of my time with Michele, I feel I have grown more confident with both mediums. I intend to continue creating these types of artwork and look forward to applying these skills over the summer, working on some nature scenes or landscapes working from life; this time of the year is especially lovely to be outside and see the many inspirations around us.","Achieved proposed outcomes",202,,702,,,0.00,"Name of minor withheld due to MN Statutes 2018, section 3.303.10",Individual,"Art Study Opportunity for Youth",,"Megan Gilles Music Study",2022-05-30,2022-10-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,,,"Name of minor withheld due to MN Statutes 2018, section 3.303.10",,,MN,,,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Kandiyohi, Douglas",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-study-opportunity-youth-27,"Bobbie Alsgaard-Lien, visual art, education; Justin Condelli, music, theater, education; Reggie Gorter, music, theater, education; Michele Huggins, visual art, SMAC board; Alison Nelson, theater, music, SMAC board; Zachary Ploeger, music","Cheryl Avenel-Navara: education, Worthington Public Arts Commission chair, SW MN Opportunity council; Justin Beck, chair of Hutchinson Public Arts Commission, president of Hutchinson Center for the Arts, photography, music; Judy Beckman: vocal music, Big Stone Arts Council, Big Stone County Historical Society, Big Stone Lake Area Chamber of Commerce CEO; Cheri Buzzeo: theater, music, The Barn Theatre administration, Willmar Main St participant; Jessica Welu: writing, music, SW Regional Development Commission; Anna Johannsen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women's Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor/director/teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician, Hinterland Art Crawl board; Shawn Kinsinger: theater director, actor, musician, Palace Theatre executive director, Green Earth Players vice president, Luverne Street Music board member, Luverne High School Theater artistic director; Darlene Kotelnicki: theater, city council, library board.

I can measure my success by my audience numbers, which have grown significantly, and by the success of the three business skills workshops I taught to rural west-central Minnesotans. 2: Through the grant-supported work I did this year, I have developed a stronger presence as a Minnesotan artist via my website, Facebook page, twitter feed, guest blog posts, and the availability of my music. The artistic work of myself as a Minnesota artist and the ten Minnesota musicians I collaborated with on my recordings and videos were made more accessible to the public. I can evaluate this outcome by near 10,000 interactions new listeners had with me and my music over the course of the last year.

While SASS hasn't sold yet, I've received some positive feedback and not enough consistent criticism to edit the draft.

Both of these projects have received positive responses from editors--3 of which want to see more of my stories. All 3 stories are currently with editors. 2: 1. I expanded my online presence by creating an author web site, an author page on Facebook, and partaking in a group blog that writes about children's books (Worddisco). I spoke at a Children's Literature Network breakfast where I networked with teachers and librarians. I was a visiting author for twelve elementary schools in Minnesota, which allowed me to improve my presentations. 2. I have 240 fans for my author page on Facebook.

Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations tour to communities and regions they haven’t previously visited.","The main outcome was exposing more Minnesotans to contemporary music through live performances. We achieved this by presenting four concerts throughout Minnesota with support from those communities. In order to evaluate this outcome, audience members were given short surveys to fill out during and after the performances. From this survey, we were able to see that most audience members found out about our performances from the local newspaper and emails and newsletters from the presenting partners. When asked if they would attend another performance by Ensemble 61, the response was overwhelmingly favorable. Ensemble 61 toured to Alexandria, Glenwood, Fergus Falls and New York Mills. Regional arts council websites were used to identify communities in greater Minnesota that have a history of supporting the arts and that might be interested in hosting a performance by Ensemble 61. Previous professional contacts from Alexandria were also used to arrange for that performance. In order to engage the audience in each community, members of Ensemble 61 gave a pre-concert talk about the music being performed. We also talked about the music during the performance itself for those who were unable to attend the pre-concert talk. In addition, members of Ensemble 61 made themselves available at the intermission and after the performances to interact directly with audience members and to answer any questions or converse about the performance. It was apparent from the survey that the pre-concert talk was overwhelmingly helpful to the audience members’ concert experience. The pre-concert talks helped to demystify some of the music being performed. 2: Ensemble 61 was able to perform in four communities in Greater Minnesota which we have not performed in prior to this tour. Our intended outcome was to perform and explain contemporary music to new audiences. We achieved this outcome by presenting the four concerts and by engaging the audience members in preconcert talks, which helped demystify some of the music being performed. We evaluated the success of this outcome through the surveys which were handed out to audience members. When asked if they felt the pre-concert talk was helpful, the response was overwhelmingly positive. Presenting partners were chosen from communities in greater Minnesota that have a history of supporting the arts and that might be interested in hosting a performance by Ensemble 61. Erik Barsness, co-director and percussionist of Ensemble 61, selected the specific communities based on communications with the regional arts council staff members and by consulting their websites.

More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations.","Arts Tour Minnesota funding provided resources for 16 Minnesota artists to share their talents with 1108 residents in nine counties across the state. Mixed Blood's goal was to tour six productions for 18 performances in Minnesota to promote pluralism throughout the region, serve vulnerable Minnesotans, and provoke discussion about cultural competence. This year, the theatre produced four total touring shows. Legacy funding provided for 19 performances of these plays in communities across the state. Ken LaZebnik’s Theory of Mind was selected for its sensitive, yet unsentimental portrait of a young adult on the autism spectrum. Warren C. Bowels’ African America was selected for its value to Minnesotans and for its exploration connectivity and celebration of one’s heritage. Bowels’ Dr. King’s Dream was selected for its historical significance and popularity with patrons. Syl Jones’ Daughters of Africa was included in the tour for its exuberant, music-driven celebration of African-American women’s triumphs and accomplishments. Director of Touring, Charlie Moore, has built an extensive network of Minnesota community organizations, educational institutions, theatres, civic centers, and cultural centers with which to partner. Presenting locations were selected by their need and interest and included Minnesota West Community and Technical College in Worthington, Gustavus Adolphus College in St Peter, Historic Holmes Theater in Detroit Lakes, Vermillion Community College in Ely, Alexandria Technical College in Alexandria, Central Square Cultural and Civic Center in Glenwood, Pequana Playhouse in Baudette, A Center for the Arts in Fergus Falls, Regional Cultural Center in New York Mills, Delano High School in Delano, and Battle Lake High School in Battle Lake. A tour package including dramaturgical and promotional materials was provided to hosts of touring shows, in an effort for artists to best communicate with the audience how art serves a social and historical purpose. Each community contact was asked to provide Mixed Blood with their promotional strategies. Most often, organizers engaged audiences via on-site signage, posters, newspaper columns, social media and newsletters. Public performances were often held for adults in towns where students experienced the same plays in school. This was done to give families the opportunity to see the same plays, linking arts to whole communities. 2: Mixed Blood brought plays to venerable, culturally isolated Minnesota communities who have not previously had access to these specific tour offerings. Public performance organizers and audiences were surveyed at each Arts Tour performance to assess their objective and subjective perspectives. 35% of respondents had never been to an arts activity at the performance site, meaning they were exposed to Minnesota art in a new, local location for the first time. All organizers rated the tour's performances and their interactions with Mixed Blood personnel as very good or excellent. These plays are an extension of the Educational Touring program that brings inclusive, challenging plays to schools around the greater Midwest. Artistic Director Jack Rueler selects plays according to their ability to be accessible to many, while portraying stories that may not typically be shown on the stage. Theatre staff works with community hosts to create promotional and dramaturgical tools to engage target communities. Actors answer audience post-performance questions about the plays or about their methods as actors.

Every individual that participated in a Master Class was eligible to receive a complimentary concert ticket. Post-Concert Meet and Greet sessions were held whereby all of the musicians chatted with the audience members about the music on the program and answered any questions pertaining to the audience's concert experience. 2: Rose Ensemble artists were able to perform and provide Master Classes in cities not previously visited by our group: Ely; Hibbing; Staples; Little Falls; and Detroit Lakes. This represents an expansion of our previous touring through the addition of five cities not previously visited by our artists. Silver Bay was also a new addition to the annual tour, although we had previously visited that city for other residency activities.

Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations tour to communities and regions they haven’t previously visited. More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations.","Zeitgeist presented our production, For the Birds by Victor Zupanc and Kevin Kling, in four Minnesota communities throughout Minnesota. For the Birds was developed by Zeitgeist, Kling, and Zupanc in 2010 and has been the main vehicle through which we introduce our work to greater Minnesota audiences ever since. In each community we visited through this project, we encountered audiences a bit familiar with Kling but very unfamiliar with the work of Victor Zupanc and Zeitgeist. In each community, our production was an artistic success and increased the visibility of all of our artists. We evaluated the artistic success of our production based on the feedback of our artists, discussions with our presenters, and feedback from our audience members. Our artistic team gathered this feedback from discussions with presenters and audience members after each performance. For the Birds toured to Menahga (Menahga High School), Park Rapids (Calvary Lutheran Church), Alexandria (Theatre L’Homme Dieu), and Owatonna (Owatonna Arts Center). Created with the small community presenter in mind, For the Birds is highly accessible to a wide range of audience members and is technically hassle-free for venues to present. Plus, with the inclusion of Kevin Kling as our featured performer, For the Birds is easy to promote to audiences. For the Birds is the most accessible new music show that Zeitgeist has developed, and we have been using it to introduce our work to small communities throughout Minnesota. We selected each community because we had not had the opportunity to perform in each before and are seeking to develop audiences throughout Minnesota. With regard to engaging audiences, we worked with each of our presenting organizations to create awareness of For the Birds within the community. In each community, posters were displayed throughout the business district and local papers or radio stations featured interviews with our artists. These measures worked very well. One of the advantages of presenting in a small community is that media is accessible to the community and creating awareness for local happenings is manageable and relatively inexpensive. After each performance, Zeitgeist and our artists were available to discuss the work and answer questions. Audiences were receptive and engaged and we note that several from each performance either signed up for our email list or our Facebook page. 2: Through this project, Zeitgeist visited four communities that we had not visited previously. In doing so, we were hoping to begin building connections with audiences in each community and strengthen our relationship with each presenter. Our goal was to visit each community with an accessible and attractive production that would attract audiences and be easy for our presenters to present and promote. Each of our presenters has indicated that they would have Zeitgeist back again, and we even have nascent plans to develop new programming with one of them. As to audiences, discussions with audience members after each show indicated that they found the show delightful and deeply meaningful and that they would look forward to another visit by Zeitgeist to their community. At each location, several audience members did sign up for our mailing list or Facebook page. More remarkably, we’ve had audience members that first encountered us on this For the Birds tour attend Zeitgeist events at Studio Z in St Paul. We weren’t anticipating that positive outcome. On the other hand, we were hoping to attract more audience members on our first trip to each of these communities. While some of this shortfall was because we made a change in our project that placed us in smaller communities, we still had hoped for 25%-35% more people in each location with the exception of Alexandria. In each community, the presenter had a great deal of input into what our activities would entail. We were available for outreach activities, and each venue elected to include a post-concert discussion and reception as part of their activities. In Alexandria, we were able to make this a formal question and answer affair, but in the other communities, this interaction was more informal.",,4671,"Other, local or private",21731,2350,"Heather Barringer, Jeff Gram, Brett Wartchow, Philip Blackburn, Craig Sinard, Pat OÆKeefe, Carleton Macy, Carrie Henneman Shaw, Zachary Crockett",0.13,Zeitgeist,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Tour Minnesota ",,"Zeitgeist will tour For the Birds, a new work for chamber ensemble and narration, with music by Victor Zupanc and text by Kevin Kling, to two communities in Minnesota.",2012-04-01,2013-03-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Heather,Barringer,Zeitgeist,"275 E 4th St Ste 200","St Paul",MN,55101-1628,"(651) 755-1600 ",heather@zeitgeistnewmusic.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Wadena, Hubbard, Steele, Douglas",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-tour-minnesota-142,"Daniel Adolphson: Director of Program Engagement, COMPAS.; Timothy Cassidy: Metal sculptor.; Larry Fredlund: Board member, Isanti County Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment.; Lawrence Gorrell: Program director, Master of Arts in Human Development and Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management, St Mary's University.; Jeanne Kosfeld: Creative director, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

At least 15% of attendees will identify themselves as having a non-arts background who attend the event with strong interest in addressing community challenges through art and helping arts organizations reach underserved communities more effectively. 2: Identify real and perceived barriers affecting participation in rural arts activities, and share or develop innovative, organic models which address these barriers. At least 85% of all participants will feel capable of implementing at least one goal in increasing access to the arts in rural communities. One year after the Summit, at least five projects will be identified as having been catalyzed at this event.","Our first outcome was to expand partnership capacity between artists, arts organizations, and community development groups in rural Minnesota. We evaluated this outcome based on the breakdown of participants' backgrounds, since a wide variety of community development sectors represented in addition to artists and arts organizations would be an indicator of fulfilling this goal. Specifically, our goal was that at least 15% of attendees would identify themselves as having a non-arts background. After analyzing the organizations represented in registration forms, approximately 77 individuals, or 25% of our audience represented sectors outside of the arts, including university extension programs, historic preservation and museums, elected officials, food coops and farms, public health organizations, libraries, city staff, planning and development commissions, Minnesota Initiative Foundations, bicycle alliances, chambers of commerce, environmental groups and nonprofit resource organizations. Our second outcome was that the Regional Arts Council Summit would provide a place in which real and perceived barriers affecting participation in rural arts activities would be addressed. In our evaluation form given at the end of the Summit, we asked participants to a) list ideas or projects that they were planning on pursuing following the Summit and b) indicate their confidence level on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being not very confident and 5 being very confident. 80% of respondents ranked their confidence at a level of 4 and 5.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2013, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Work Plan"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Work Plan"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,,,,,"U of MN","Public College/University","PROJECT OVERVIEW Near-shore areas of lakes are critical to the health of lake ecosystems because they contain a majority of the vegetation and are generally the spawning areas for fish. Increases in the rate and extent of shoreline development - including docks, boatlifts, and other structures - and disturbance from recreational activity may be having cumulative detrimental impacts on these ecosystems. However, there is a lack of scientific knowledge about these impacts and that has been hindering lake managers in their ability to guide landowners toward better practices. Researchers from the University of Minnesota and the U.S. Geological Survey are using this appropriation to study the cumulative impacts of shoreline development on aquatic habitat, water quality, and fish populations in order to develop a tool that can be used to help guide sustainable near-shore development. Approximately 100 lakes in Aitkin, Becker, Cass, Crow Wing, Douglas, Hubbard, Morrison, Otter Tail and Todd counties will be used in the study. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The littoral zone contains all of the vegetation within a lake and is critical to the physical and biological integrity of lakes. Aquatic macrophytes and coarse woody structure provide refuge, foraging area, and spawning substrate for many fish species. The goal of this study was to evaluate shoreline development by measuring a number of variables that reflect human activity, including terrestrial vegetation, physical alterations, and in-lake structures. Previous studies have found reductions in abundance of aquatic vegetation and coarse woody structure; however, few studies have quantified the specific influence of docks on aquatic habitat structure. Coarse woody structure and three measures of macrophyte abundance increased with distance to the nearest dock structure. Presence of coarse woody structure and emergent species were significantly and negatively related to lake-wide dock density. We intensively investigated effects of lakeshore development on nearshore habitat across 11 northern Minnesota lakes using the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Score Your Shore (SYS) survey to assess development intensity. Developed sites (a residence and dock present) had lower macrophyte species richness, emergent, and floating-leaf macrophytes and coarse woody structure than undeveloped sites (no residence, no dock). SYS score was a significant factor in models of most macrophyte community variables, supporting the hypothesis that site-scale development intensity is related to littoral vegetation. A fish Index of Biological Integrity decreased as the density of docks increased for the 11 intensively studied lakes. Development density across 29 lakes and 114 lakes were also examined, but less intensively. Effects of development in these less intensively studied lakes were less apparent for most lake macrophyte and fish community variables than for the intensively studied lakes. These findings suggest that riparian management on residential lots and reduced removal of aquatic macrophytes and coarse woody structure could improve fish habitat at both local and lake-wide scales of development. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The project was conducted in conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and several meetings to disseminate our findings took place with Jacquelyn Bacigalupi, the Lake IBI Coordinator with MNDNR and colleagues. Additionally multiple conference presentations were given and two Master's theses resulted from the work on this project.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2012-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Bruce,Vondracek,"U of MN","1980 Folwell Ave","St. Paul",MN,55108,"(612) 624-8748",bvondrac@umn.edu,,"University of Minnesota ",,"Aitkin, Becker, Cass, Crow Wing, Douglas, Hubbard, Morrison, Otter Tail, Todd",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/assessing-cumulative-impacts-shoreline-development,,,,

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,,,,

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,,,,

An additional 78 linear feet of storage shelving was added. Previously the collections area was disorganized, with no archival materials being used to care for and protect artifacts. The shelving was old display shelves from a retail store with not enough linear feet to accommodate their current storage needs. As a result, much of the collection in the storage area sat on the floor.  During the installation of the shelving, a museum patron who heard what the museum was doing donated metal flat file storage cabinets to the museum. Volunteers and the collections assistant moved the bulk of the small fishing lures and tackle to these drawers after they had been lined with polyethylene foam. The drawers were also used for large archives such as maps and large prints, with layers of archive-safe tissue in between. Objects are now stored in archive-safe materials and containers, which will extend their lifespan for future generations to learn from and enjoy. Artifacts that had previously been stored in an unsafe manner, both for the object and for staff, are now more securely stored on shelving or in containers. And catalog records for the location have been updated so that in the future, objects are readily found and accessed, broadening their use for research or display.   ",2022-07-01,2023-07-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Kaci,Johnson,"Minnesota Lakes Maritime Society","205 3rd Avenue W, PO Box 1216",Alexandria,MN,56308,3207591114,kaci@legacyofthelakes.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Douglas,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/collections-storage-updates,"Visit https://www.mnhs.org/preservation/legacy-grants/advisory-committee ","Visit https://www.mnhs.org/about/leadership ",,

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.

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.

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

A 10% match from non-state sources is required for all grants. CPL Program Staff solicited applications and worked with applicants to submit applications, oversaw the grant selection process, prepared and executed grant documents, reviewed expenditure documentation, made reimbursement payments, monitored grant work, assisted recipients with closing out their agreements, and prepared reports as required by LSOHC. Applicants describe the location of the work (county and ecological subsection), activity type, and habitat in their application. They also describe how their actions will benefit habitat and fish, game and wildlife. For acquisition projects, applicants describe their parcel selection process. Funds for projects under this appropriation were available until June 30, 2016. In administering this program, the DNR complied with the Department of Administration - Office of Grants Management policies. Stakeholders were involved in this proposal as applicants or reviewers (if no conflict of interest exists). There is no known stakeholder opposition to this program. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was posted on the CPL website in August, 2012. This document contained grant program information, application requirements and scoring criteria, grant reporting requirements, and state agency contacts. A list of ECP Projects and criteria for each was developed by conservation biologists so grant applicants could easily apply and receive funding for commonly-accepted restoration and enhancement conservation projects. The RFP and grant agreements incorporated appropriate principles and criteria from LSOHC’s FY13 Call for Funding Requests and associated legislation. Simplified application processes were in place for applicants requesting up to $25,000 or ECP grants. Grants were selected for funding once in the full for the Traditional cycle, and ECP applications were approved continuously throughout the year by CPL staff. CPL 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 established criteria. These committees included representatives from DNR, BWSR, the University of MN, state universities or private colleges, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and other appropriate members from government, non-profit organizations, and private businesses. A final ranking committee made up of the Directors of the DNR Divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Ecological Resources/Waters, and Forestry considered TRC, Division and Regional DNR comments, and recommended projects and funding levels to the Commissioner of Natural Resources. The Commissioner made the final decisions on all projects funded and funding levels. Efforts were made to evenly distribute the selected grants by geographic location and activity. CPL staff worked with grantees to ensure financial reviews, grant agreements, and any other necessary paperwork was completed. Grantees submitted annual accomplishment reports, accounting 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 also included an evaluation of these results. A final report was required by all grantees. CPL staff submitted accomplishment reports to LSOHC. Accomplishment information was also posted on the CPL website. Grant administration costs were billed using actual costs. These costs included salary and fringe for grants staff, direct support services, travel, supplies, and expense. An internal Service Level Agreement (SLA) was developed with DNR’s Management Information Systems to update and manage the online grant application system. (This budget item is included in the Contracts line in the attached Budget Table.) Applicants were required to budget for DNR Land Acquisition costs that are necessary to support the land acquisition process for parcels to be conveyed to the DNR. The Division of Fish and Wildlife staff provided ongoing technical guidance. This technical guidance helped applicants prepare grant proposals, and helped grantees meet requirements for working on state lands. Additional technical guidance was provided for land acquisitions, program planning and management, accounting and grantee payment. Grantees were paid on a reimbursement or “for services rendered” basis. Grantees must provide proof that the work was completed or a purchase made in order to receive payment.

Properly sealing these wells is one of the most important things landowners can do to protect our groundwater.

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

This proposal will enhance and restore grasslands on parcels that are permanently protected and most open to public hunting, including DNR WMAs, SNAs, AMAs, Native Prairie Bank (NPB) easements, State Forests, as well as federal WPAs and NWRs.","In many farmland counties less than five percent of the area is in public wildlife lands, often much less. We continue to lose about 200 acres of native prairie per year. While Minnesota does have acres enrolled in CRP as well as state programs such as RIM and CREP, there is still very little grassland left in many counties of the state. As such, we need to make sure the remaining grasslands, especially those open to public recreation are as diverse and productive as possible. These lands provide wildlife habitat as well as Wildlife and pollinator populations are a fraction of what they were even a decade ago. Water quality, especially nitrate contamination, is a human health and wildlife issue. Restoring and enhancing grasslands are one of the most effective ways to improve all of these issues. Grassland and wetland restoration and enhancement, carefully guided by planning, is one of the best ways to address many of these issues. This programmatic request seeks funding to enhance grassland habitat on permanently protected grasslands and prairies, most of which are open to public hunting. Without periodic management to simulate historical disturbance patterns, grassland lose diversity and productivity. Invasive species may increase and woody vegetation will encroach into the grasslands, changing their very character and the species that inhabit the area. The activities listed in this proposal will use BMPs for grassland enhancement and diverse local ecotype seed mixes for restoration.

Native prairie, other grasslands that provides habitat for wildlife, and wetlands are key components of functional prairie landscapes that have the capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions. While these appropriation only added 2,085 acres of grassland acres to the state through restoration, these funds enhanced a much larger area. Put in another fashion, we restored and enhanced 69.5 square miles with these funds. That's an area 8.3 by 8.3 miles in area. None of this work was targeted at a specific species of wildlife. We used that approach that diverse productive habitats benefit a wide variety of both game and non-game wildlife species as well as any threatened or endangered species. In our restorations, we use very diverse seed mixes. This is obviously beneficial for pollinators. However, all those insects also create a food base for a large number of wildlife species. The structural diversity all those plant species create in the habitat allow every species to find an ideal niche in the grass as well as accomodates different life history stages of wildlife.","A total of 40,539 acres were affected: 1,191 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 39,348 in Enhance.",,,3586000,190400,,7.5,DNR,"State Government","We restored and enhanced a total of 40,539 grassland acres with 446 activities on Wildlife Management Areas, Scientific and Natural Areas, Native Prairie Bank easements, Waterfowl Production Areas, and National Wildlife Refuges.","We select projects using a number of criteria and reviews to make sure the DNR and our federal partners, the USFWS, were spending these funds in the best and most productive ways.

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. 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.

This programmatic request will build on the DNR's history of enhancing and restoring grasslands, embedded wetlands, and savannas to increase wildlife populations. The Prairie Plan, Pheasant Plan, and Wildlife Action Plan will guide our efforts and ensure we are operating in a strategic and targeted manner. This proposal will enhance and restore grasslands on parcels that are permanently protected and most open to public hunting. These include DNR WMAs, SNAs, AMAs, Native Prairie Bank (NPB) easements, State Forests, as well as federal WPAs and NWRs.","In many farmland counties less than five percent of the area is in public wildlife lands, often much less. Since 2007, Minnesota has lost nearly a million acres of CRP. Last fall, another 203,000 acres expired from the program. Under the new Farm Bill, it's unclear how many of those lost habitat acres the state will recover. Wildlife and pollinator populations are a fraction of what they were even a decade ago. Water quality, especially nitrate contamination, is a human health and wildlife issue. Restoring and enhancing grasslands are one of the most effective ways to improve all of these issues. Because of the losses of grassland and wetland habitat across western Minnesota both historically and in recent years, it is that much more important that the public grasslands in Minnesota are as productive as possible for wildlife and pollinators. This programmatic request seeks funding to enhance grassland habitat on permanently protected grasslands and prairies, most of which are open to public hunting. Without periodic management to simulate historical disturbance patterns, grassland lose diversity and productivity. Invasive species may increase and woody vegetation will encroach into the grasslands, changing their very character and the species that inhabit the area. The activities listed in this proposal will use BMPs for grassland enhancement and diverse local ecotype seed mixes for restoration.

It also funded two stream habitat positions that oversaw the completion of 23 DNR projects and over 50 partner-lead projects funded by various OHF sources. ",,"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,,,,

","   ","Stream projects were prioritized based on the DNR's Stream habitat Priority List, where projects were ranked based on a number of criteria surrounding support and outcomes. This appropriation funded five stream projects, several of which involved external partners. Individual project details are outlined below. Stewart River Restoration: The Stewart River channel restoration project used Natural Channel Design to restore 4,500 of premier trout stream in Northeastern Minnesota. Historic logging and a berm located in the floodplain had significantly impacted the stream. The project was designed and implemented to create trout habitat including deep pools, overhead cover and abundant spawning gravels. The project also removed the confines of the berm and reconnected the stream with the floodplain. A 100 year flood affected the project just a few years after implementation. Some damage was caused, but the objectives of the projects were still met once repairs were made in 2019 using DNR FAW funding. Mission Creek Restoration: DNR partnered with South St. Louis SWCD to compete this project on Mission Creek. The Mission Creek channel restoration project restored 3150 feet of stream near Duluth, Minnesota. This stream was historically altered and had an in-stream trash rack which affected fish passage and the stability of the stream. The 2012 flood caused the stream to blowout around the trash rack resulting in a highly aggraded and unstable stream. The trash rack was removed and the dimension, pattern and profile of the stream was restored. Additionally, 8.4 miles of the stream was reconnected with the removal of the trash rack. During design, a historic native burial site was discovered just downstream of the project site. This slowed down design as we needed to sort through the risks to artifacts and find a tribal inspector to be onsite during construction. In the end we were able to do the project with oversight from the tribe. No artifacts were discovered during construction. Construction finished in June of 2020. North Branch of Whitewater River Restoration: This channel restoration project took place within Whitewater State Park in a location that previously had riprap installed on the bank for stabilization. This riprap failed at least two times so a stream restoration was implemented to better address the issues causing the bank erosion. The project utilized toe-wood sodmat to protect the bank and reshaped the channel dimension, pattern and profile based on a nearby stable reference reach. During construction it was found that the bed and bank material were particularly difficult for toe-wood sodmat installation. A unique technique using a trenching bucket was employed to get the toe-wood sod mat installed correctly. Another impact of the bed and bank materials was that it was difficult to get vegetation established. This project had to have additional work done after the original construction was finished. Due to lack of vegetation, a large flood and being in a flashy watershed, some of the stream features were impacted after the flood. Following the damages, the natural pattern that the river laid out was utilized to improve the overall project. The project was replanted with additional straw protection. Since the adjustments were made, the project has been stable and the vegetation is getting established. Cottonwood River Restoration: DNR partnered with Redwood County to complete this restoration. This project was originally funded to provide fish passage at three dams by modifying the dams to rock arch rapids structures. However during the course of project development, at two of the dam sites, the grantee opted to install riffles along the river corridor to slowly step the river down and to provide more habitat than originally anticipated. Two of the dam sites now have 6-7 riffles and deep pool associated with those riffles. Fish use these pools as is evident by the anglers seen at various riffles. Fish have also been seen passing through the riffles to get upstream. Construction of this project started in February of 2020; that spring construction was put on hold due to high flows and the COVID pandemic. However, as the flows were rising the contractor continued to work. This proved to be an issue when the contractor was unable to finish installing that riffle. As a result, the unfinished structure caused some significant erosion; this lead to additional work at that riffle site for the contractor once flows receded. The COVID- 19 pandemic significantly limited the ability of Department staff to provide construction oversight which would likely have avoided the contractor working in rising flows. Construction of the projects were finished in fall of 2020. Overall the project accomplished the goals of fish passage and has the added benefit of additional habitat along the river corridor. Driftless Area Habitat Enhancement: The DNR's Fisheries Construction crew used this appropriation to purchase rock and equipment rental to enhance 15 acres of stream habitat in the Driftless Area of Minnesota. Shoreline protection accomplished with this appropriation consisted of two fee-title acquisitions, nine trout stream easement acquisitions, and three Forest for the Future conservation easements. The two fee-title acquisitions protected 52 acres and 4,825 feet of undeveloped shoreline . All nine trout stream easement acquisitions were in the SE Forest Ecological Section. Two easement acquisitions were initiated in the Northern Forest Section, but neither was successfully concluded. The nine trout stream easements protect a total of 132 acres and 31,150 feet of stream. The Forest for the Future project prioritized protecting forests in high priority cisco lake watersheds. With this project, one 32 acre easement was purchased in the Kabekona watershed (Hubbard County), 122 acres in the Ten Mile lake watershed (Cass County), and 193 acres in the Pelican watershed in Crow Wing County. Two large easement acquisitions were not completed when the landowners chose not to accept the DNR offer. These acquisitions were scheduled to be completed close to the end of the appropriation availability and we did not have enough time to move on to other parcels. Therefore, we did not meet goals for easement acquisition and funds were returned to the Council.

Native prairie, other grasslands that provides habitat for wildlife, and wetlands are key components of functional prairie landscapes that have the capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions. While these appropriation only added 2,085 acres of grassland acres to the state through restoration, these funds enhanced a much larger area. Put in another fashion, we restored and enhanced 69.5 square miles with these funds. That's an area 8.3 by 8.3 miles in area. None of this work was targeted at a specific species of wildlife. We used that approach that diverse productive habitats benefit a wide variety of both game and non-game wildlife species as well as any threatened or endangered species. In our restorations, we use very diverse seed mixes. This is obviously beneficial for pollinators. However, all those insects also create a food base for a large number of wildlife species. The structural diversity all those plant species create in the habitat allow every species to find an ideal niche in the grass as well as accomodates different life history stages of wildlife.","A total of 44,506 acres were affected: 2,081 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 42,425 in Enhance.",,,3762900,172000,,7.11,DNR,"State Government","We restored 2,081 acres of grassland and enhanced 42,425 acres of grassland for a total of 44,506 acres of wildlife habitat across 329 sites with these funds.","We select projects using a number of criteria and reviews to make sure the DNR was spending these funds in the best and most productive ways. We can summarize our results in the following table. Project Type Acres # Sites Grassland Restoration 2,085 63 Prescribed Fire 36,896 159 Woody removal 4,461 60 interseed / diversity enhancement 500 27 Conservation grazing infrastructure 120 1 Prescribed Browsing-woody control (goats) 299 9 Herbaceous Invasive Control 145 10 Sum 44,506 329 This appropriation involved the Roving Crews. These Crews allow the DNR to be very flexible. While they have a list of projects to work on, they can also respond fairly quickly if there's an enhancement opportunity shows up. For instance, a short dry period in a part of the state may allow them to conduct a late summer prescribed fire which was not in any of the original work plans. Roving Crews have begun experimenting with different burn seasons. Typically, we burn in the spring before the nesting season. However, this can stimulate the warm-season grasses and begin to crowd out forbs, lowering plant diversity. Burning in the late summer, after birds have fledged but with enough time for some late summer regrowth, has shown to increase both plant diversity as well as structural diversity in the habitat. Just as important, it can knock back the dominant grasses such as big bluestem and Indian grass just enough for forbs to express themselves the following year. Although 44,506 acres appears to be a large number, we feel the actual acres benefitted may be much larger. We know nest predation of grassland birds is higher near woody vegetation and some birds just won't nest near woody veg. By removing trees, we are impacting both the footprint of where those trees were but also the surrounding grassland, up to a half mile from the project, where nest success should now be higher. We installed grazing infrastructure on one site and used goats to browse undesirable and invasive woody plants. This will accomplish two goals. FIrst, we will get good habitat work on our public lands. Second, its a way to further develop a working lands approach to land management and incorporate conservation work into the state's agricultural economy. I have personally visited a number of public lands grazing sites in western Minnesota and have always been impressed with what I've seen. Although grazing is a summer activity, I've flushed a number of birds, both pheasants and songbirds, from these areas in the fall. Often the biggest benefit to grazing comes in the first couple years after grazing as the habitat is regrowing. Although there is still much to learn, we have learned a lot in recent years about restoration techniques. We still use several methods for restoring prairie and there's probably no one perfect way of doing it. It's very clear to someone when they are walking through a recent restoration and an older restoration. Even if they can't identify every plant, the diversity people see is striking. The DNR has traditionally focused on game species such as pheasants. However, there is more and more interest in pollinators and biodiversity. Fortunately, just about every study out there shows that management and restoration for pollinators and songbirds often creates the best habitat for game species. Diverse, healthy, productive habitat is good for a wide range of species. These projects can also increase the amount of carbon absorbed and stored by the plants and soils on these sites. As we continue to use these funds, costs for projects will probably increase. In the early years of these funds, we completed a number of simpler or easier projects, the low-hanging fruit. Now we are left with the larger and more challenging projects. While they are good habitat projects, they will probably increase in costs over time. In our budget table, we prorated our budget for individual projects by the acres accomplished. Staff funding was combined into one value.

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

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

This proposal will enhance and restore grasslands on parcels that are permanently protected and most open to public hunting, including DNR WMAs, SNAs, AMAs, Native Prairie Bank (NPB) easements, State Forests, as well as federal WPAs and NWRs.","In many farmland counties less than five percent of the area is in public wildlife lands, often much less. We continue to lose about 200 acres of native prairie per year. While Minnesota does have acres enrolled in CRP as well as state programs such as RIM and CREP, there is still very little grassland left in many counties of the state. As such, we need to make sure the remaining grasslands, especially those open to public recreation are as diverse and productive as possible. These lands provide wildlife habitat as well as Wildlife and pollinator populations are a fraction of what they were even a decade ago. Water quality, especially nitrate contamination, is a human health and wildlife issue. Restoring and enhancing grasslands are one of the most effective ways to improve all of these issues. Grasslands and embedded wetlands are also very good at sequestering and storing carbon, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. Grassland and wetland restoration and enhancement, carefully guided by planning, is one of the best ways to address many of these issues. This programmatic request seeks funding to enhance grassland habitat on permanently protected grasslands and prairies, most of which are open to public hunting. Without periodic management to simulate historical disturbance patterns, grassland lose diversity and productivity. Invasive species may increase and woody vegetation will encroach into the grasslands, changing their very character and the species that inhabit the area.

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

Gorman Creek is a headwaters stream that was historically straightened. As a result, the stream was significantly incised and lacked habitat diversity. This project restored about 2430 feet of Gorman Creek and 2450 feet of the tributary. This project addressed bank and stream bed sources of sediment by applying appropriate dimension, pattern and profile to the mainstream channel. By restoring geomorphic stability of the stream and reconnecting the river with the floodplain, this project enhanced riparian corridors and buffers, improved fish habitat and passage, addressed and reduced bed/bank erosion, and improved water quality. Stony Creek Stream Restoration. The primary purpose of this project was to improve the ecology of the river system by restoring 24,816 feet of a ditched stream to a stable and functioning channel. The project established a natural channel profile, reconnected the stream to the floodplain, and improved riparian habitat by establishing a 340 ft wide vegetated riparian buffer. There are approximately 21 species of fish in the project area that will benefit from improved habitat and water quality.

The language also included two years of funding for the USFWS's Prescribed Fire program. This was our largest grassland request to date and also the appropriation most affected by Covid. We were unable to hire the west-central Roving Crew in a timely fashion due to state hiring freezes. At the same time, the USFWS received IRA funding and returned their second year of funding. While the DNR was able to put most of these dollars to good use, the acre to dollar ratio for fire is usually much higher compared to hiring contractors for tree removal or similar other enhancements. To use up some of the unspent Roving Crew funds, we moved southeast and southwest Roving Crews to this appropriation for one year. While all of this was happening, we were also trying to transition all the Roving Crews to the stand-alone appropriations. Given those issues, we did not reach our anticipated acreage accomplishment.

This project highlights an urban project that was successful in restoring 6100 feet of Miller Creek. This project restored the geomorphic stability of the stream by reconnecting the floodplain and remeandering the stream to a stable channel. This project also enhanced riparian corridors and buffers, improved fish habitat diversity, and addressed the bed and bank erosion. In addition, the project team was able to expand the project to include an important tributary to Miller Creek. This project will provide improved habitat, stability and water quality to the associated tributary and Miller Creek. Funding for the larger overall project of Miller Creek and the tributary has come from various sources USFS ($115,000) and NOAA ($95,000). North Fork of the Zumbro River Stream Restoration: The North form of the Zumbro River was historically dammed near the City of Mazeppa. This damming disconnected the stream and altered the stream channel. This project was successful in restoring 3710 feet of the Zumbro River to a more stable form that is connected to the floodplain. Additionally, this project was able to address the dam remnants that were affecting the river stability, address the high unstable banks and improve instream habitat diversity. This project improved habitat for at least 28 species of fish documented downstream of where the dam was located. Fish will have easier accessibly to 40 miles upstream of the dam location.

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

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. Restoration and enhancement activities include the following: 1) Wetland restoration/enhancement: Tools used to accomplish this include 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 and landscape resiliency in the face of climate change. 2) Upland Enhancement: 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 and are ideal for upland nesting bird production and success of pollinator species. 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.

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.

Clean Water Feedlot Water Quality Management Grant funds are being used to provide financial assistance to landowners with feedlot operations less than 300 animal units in size and located in a riparian area or impaired watershed. A variety of practices are commonly used to reduce the pollution potential from a feedlot site.

The BdSWD will focus on 4 CIPs within the Bois de Sioux River planning regions; WCD Sub-1, WCD 35 and WCD 20 & 25 drainage retrofit projects. Proposed CIP funding will be used for either construction of eligible water quality improvements or project development to further progress towards construction. Structural and non-structural agricultural practices are prioritized to these planning regions and targeted to contributing catchments of these CIPs to maximize effectiveness. Sediment is a priority issue within the Plan. The 10-yr sediment reduction goal for these planning regions is 1,470 tons / year, as estimated by PTMApp. Targeted projects are estimated to reduce 3,725 tons/year of sediment (exceeding the 10-year goal; 12% of the long-term goal). Total phosphorus is also a priority issue within the Plan. The 10-yr total phosphorus reduction goal for these planning regions is 430 pounds / year, as estimated by PTMApp. Targeted projects are estimated to reduce 196 pounds/year of total phosphorus (46% of 10-year goal). Agriculture is the dominant land use in the BdS-Mustinka watershed and soil health is a plan priority. The 10-year soil health goal for these planning regions is to implement soil health management practices on 1,008 acres. This workplan targets management practice adoption on 700 acres.

State Legislature Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 8, (c)","$625,000 each year is for grants to other children’s museums to pay for start-up costs or new exhibit and program development. Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Humanities Center must administer these funds using established grant mechanisms. ","MEASURABLE OUTCOMES OF THE GRCM START-UP PROJECT EXHIBITS OUTCOMES Exhibits Plan: Complete the conceptual exhibit plan begun during the Museum Master Plan process. Move forward towards completion with Schematic and Final Development/Design coordinated with professional and consulting services - architects, exhibit designers and fabricators. The outcome will be fabrication and installation plans. The Legacy funds will be used to initiate the design process for the Great River exhibit which will reflect local history, cultural heritage and art connected to our relationship with the Mississippi River. The other exhibit that will be designed using these funds will be the Bridges to the World marketplace for cultural explorations. LEARNING PARTNERSHIPS OUTCOMES Formal and Higher Education: Move beyond the formative and early planning stages to develop potential collaborative arrangements such as co-staffing, student volunteer placements, shared and aligned curriculum, field trips, college student internships or practicums for future educators, joint training or research opportunities across different disciplines-from child development and education, non-profit management to marketing. PARENT-CHILD LEARNING IN A MUSEUM SETTING OUTCOMES Research: Families participating in GRCM events and activities prior to opening will steadily increase in numbers and in demographic range. Observations of interactions during play and feedback from parents and children will inform museum development of exhibits, programming, and practices. COMMUNITY PARTNERS OUTCOMES Beyond St. Cloud Metro: Implement five outreach events using mobile exhibits and activities to introduce the museum and connect with over 50 families in outlying areas to develop a regional audience. Community Organizations, Clubs, Service Groups: Continue to outreach and introduce the museum through presentations off-site or at the museum - in the community room; explore volunteer activities, develop partnering relationships around mutual community interests, secure donations for program development and scholarships for low income families. City of St. Cloud: Participate with Downtown Council, City of St. Cloud and downtown neighbors in mutually beneficial and collaborative way.   Who or what is expected to change as a result of the grant?   EXPECTED TO CHANGE As an emergent museum, the board, committees and planning groups are looking towards the future, when the GRCM building is completed and exhibits installed. Loads of visitors will come through the doors, and leave with smiling faces. GRCM’s guiding vision, established in the Museum Master Plan, “is a welcoming and flourishing Greater St. Cloud where ALL children look forward to a future that offers expanding opportunities”. Anticipated improvements to quality of community life: St. Cloud businesses will see parents and children coming into the downtown area, giving it more vitality and a reputation for being family-friendly. School districts and private schools in the metro and rural areas will have a new partner. Home schooled children will have a new learning resource. St. Cloud will have a new jewel to go along with the relocated and newly built City Hall and other established, major cultural attractions – Great River Regional Library, St. Cloud Civic Center, Paramount, and Pioneer Theatres. GRCM will open its doors for business, becoming a permanent regional attraction and Central Minnesota cultural resource. Our children will be more knowledgeable, become better adults, and have more FUN and JOY! ","The grant partially funded an Executive Director position & Program staff person to coordinate the following outcomes and expand and support our volunteer board and committees. GRCM hired our first museum staff. An Executive Director was hired in July 2020 and has provided leadership in financial management- establishing a new accounting system, financial policies, guiding a successful audit and securing additional funding. The ED has also directed GRCM’s significant progress in facility renovation and exhibit development and coordinated committee work. A Program & Outreach Manager was hired Feb. 2021 and has developed volunteer policies and training. She has also assisted with visiting exhibits and planned activities for community events, and piloted an onsite camp & field trips. Exhibit Design-Legacy funds supported important progress on two exhibits- Bridges and Great Big River- An exhibits committee was created in late 2019 that developed exhibit concepts, reviewed 12 RFPs and selected the Split Rock Studios/Haizlip/KidZibits team for design, fabrication and installation of exhibits that began work in Feb. 2021. They conducted 6 groups- 2 kick-off sessions and four workshops with community members. They completed Schematic Design I in July and SD II in September. This process involved several different community groups in providing input and feedback to these exhibit proposals. Mobile Exhibits- GRCM sponsored 2 visiting exhibits Storyland and Curious George from the Minnesota Children’s Museum that were supported by Legacy funds. These exhibits welcomed over 1,000 people into the museum building and provided preview experiences for families, early childhood and school programs. These experiences allowed GRCM to gain experience with assembling exhibits and establishing a COVID-safe protocols and cleaning routines for exhibit areas. Office Equipment & Supplies supported staff and volunteer activities in the museum building and at community events.

Highlights from the eight completed projects include:One donated easement over 30 acres in Kandiyohi County that protected over 2,600 feet of natural shoreline along the Middle Fork of the Crow River.A complex of five easements surrounding five lakes in Becker County that protected approximately 474 acres and over 3 miles of undeveloped shoreline. Four of the five easements were donated to the Land Trust.One donated easement in Otter Tail County that protected 48 acres and over 2,900 feet of shoreline along Blanche Lake, immediately adjacent to Glendalough State Park.Another donated easement that protected 145 acres of forest and wetlands in Beltrami County and preserved almost two miles of shoreline along Black Lake and Three Island Lake.Overall, this phase of the grant program protected 269 acres of forest, 183 acres of wetlands, and over 6 miles of undeveloped shoreline.All eight projects met the following selection criteria:Habitat: quality and quantity of existing habitat on site; protects riparian areas and buffers water resourcesContext: proximity and relationship to other protected landsOpportunity: cost-benefit ratio: landowners willingness and readiness to participate nowOther Benefits: meeting multiple objectives, including visual and physical access, forestry goals, water quality, etc.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 funds to its segregated Stewardship and Enforcement Fund for several completed projects.

The Land Trust's work on this project continues to demonstrate the cost effectiveness of working with conservation easements to protect natural and scenic resources along Minnesota's lakes, rivers, and streams, as the cost to the State was well below the cost to purchase land along our increasingly threatened shorelines. This grant continued to generate interest among landowners, and therefore, ongoing funding will be important to sustained success.

Contact:grants@mnhs.org","Short-Term Impact: Byway Alliance is better aware which Byway Discovery Sites descriptions are inadequate. This was reached, and the review has been completed. Intermediate Impact: Communication and collaboration between Byway Alliance members and Dakota communities increases. This impact was reached, and there is a high interest in the byway work from all partners. Intermediate Impact: The public has access to Discovery Site descriptions that offer accurate, culturally sensitive, and significant content, as well as a broader valley-wide history of the Dakota Homeland. This was partially reached. The public does not yet have access to the new Discovery Site descriptions, but we have started the process and hope to finish in the next few months. There is a Dakota homeland story that is completed. Long Term Impact: Collaboration, trust, and partnership efforts between the Byway Alliance and individual Byway partners and the Dakota communities in the Byway increase. Long Term Impact: The public has a greater appreciation for the intrinsic values of the Minnesota River, particularly the historic ones. While we cannot determine the long term impact, we have laid a good foundation for success in our long term goals. We will be able to see this in meeting attendance and website hits in future months. We also believe we will have future projects that will be a result of this partnership. We reached these outcomes because of the open communication and understanding of all the partners in working together. All partners were patient, responsive and engaged. We now have a strong partnership between the Byway members and the Tribal Preservation Officers from both the Upper Sioux Community and the Lower Sioux Community.

Projects will be identified in watershed plans developed through BWSR's One Watershed, One Plan program, in which local governments strategically set priorities for clean water and habitat, target implementation, and set measurable goals. BWSR currently distributes CWF dollars to partnerships with approved plans for water quality projects. By offering a more comprehensive funding package, BWSR aims to incentivize local partnerships to focus on more multi-benefit solutions that use the Legacy funds at their full potential.","A RIM easement program will be established for land protection priorities identified in comprehensive watershed management plans (""watershed plans"") developed through BWSR's One Watershed, One Plan (1W1P) program. Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) dollars will be strategically paired with CWF dollars for implementation that stacks habitat and water quality benefits in priority areas as identified by watershed-based partnerships of local governments. Through the 1W1P program, partnerships of soil and water conservation districts, counties, and watershed districts identify priorities for watershed protection and restoration, set measurable goals, and commit to targeted implementation actions (municipal and tribal governments may also participate in local planning). State agencies (BWSR, DNR, MDA, MDH, MPCA, EQB) are advisors in the planning process and partners in implementation. Watershed plans are comprehensive: they address water quality, water quantity, groundwater, drinking water, habitat, recreation, and more. Once BWSR approves a watershed plan, we grant dollars from the CWF for actions in the plan that address water quality concerns identified in the watershed plan. BWSR's vision is for this water quality funding to be stable and reliable for the life of the Legacy Fund. An important piece of this vision is to streamline the administrative burdens for local governments associated with applying for and reporting on grants while maintaining appropriate oversight of state funds. This allows local governments to spend more time doing what they do best: implementation. A BWSR RIM easement program dedicated for watershed plans would similarly reduce the number of individual proposals submitted to the LSOHC by local governments for implementing their plans. Millions of dollars are spent on projects from both the CWF and the OHF that focus primarily on a singular set of goals: water quality or habitat. Resource professionals and fund managers know that while many of those projects have a primary purpose, they achieve multiple benefits to varying degrees. Managers of both funds have expressed a desire to be more intentional about spending Legacy funds to achieve habitat and water quality simultaneously. Furthermore, the state's current easement programs are limited - either to a specific resource type or focused geographic area. There is tremendous opportunity to do more strategic, multi-benefit work. Through this new RIM program, BWSR would offer a more comprehensive set of funding opportunities, and therefore support more holistic, comprehensive implementation. OHF dollars would allow partnerships to meet land protection goals to maintain and enhance terrestrial and aquatic habitats while simultaneously using CWF money to address water quality in the same sub-watersheds (where needed) with actions like agricultural and urban best management practices, septic system upgrades, well sealing, shoreland restoration, stream stabilization and connectivity fixes, and more. BWSR will establish a scoring and ranking system to evaluate easement requests from partnerships with approved watershed plans (we anticipate at least 30 approved plans by the time funding is available). The scoring and ranking approach will incorporate plan priorities, the degree to which projects are paired with Clean Water Fund dollars, and progress toward measurable goals set by local partnerships.",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Kevin,Roth,BWSR,"110 2nd St S ","Waite Park",MN,56387,651-539-2521,kevin.roth@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Becker, Crow Wing, Douglas, Murray, Nobles","Forest Prairie Transition, Northern Forest, Southeast Forest, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/integrating-habitat-and-clean-water,,,,

This is a strong indicator that kids are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. 2.

They include: 1. Students who are engaged û asking questions, participating in activities, and volunteering to play. This is a strong indicator that kids are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. 2. Improved instrumental playing û band members will be more in tune, play together better, and use proper warm-ups prior to ensemble playing. 3. A successful Capstone performance û a full audience, including students and their parents 4. Concert attendance and crowd interaction with The Copper Street Brass Quintet. The primary form of evaluation is from the students themselves. The Copper Street Brass Quintet utilizes a student feedback survey to measure overall reaction to the program, best and worst portions, and to solicit ideas for improvement.

Additional comments included the desire for mirrors for movement work, and sound-proofing the room. However, one respondent summed up the space thusly: ''Can't wait until the flooring is in! Was great to have a place for the larger group to sprawl out in, and access to the basement bathrooms and board room (where lunch was served) made it very handy.

Have an audience of 260 adults and 170 youth view the ''dancing lights'' production. 4. Make the entire ''dancing lights'' experience multi-generational and family centered.In this first year of the project, we will consider it a success if 25% of visitors (about 3,000 people) listen to at least three stops. We will use the online stop count tools to estimate this. We will also walk through the museum occasionally to observe peoples' interaction with the stops. In the first few months, we will reposition any stop signs which visitors seem not to notice, to increase their visibility. To measure the success of our advertising, our greeters will ask some of the visitors whether they were familiar with the tour stop feature of our museum before arriving. We will ask for feedback from our greeters, to learn how most visitors respond to the introduction to OnCell, and whether we can improve the messaging. Visitors can leave audio comments for us on the OnCell system, which we will monitor to gauge satisfaction and note any need for improvement. Finally, we will have a one question paper exit survey asking how much the OnCell tour stops added to their visit, and a space for written comments, either positive or critical. While we won't be able to collect a survey from each person who used OnCell, we hope to collect surveys from about 10% of those users, approximately 300 per year. It would be very difficult to measure an increase in number of visitors solely due to our having the OnCell program, because of normal year-to-year fluctuations. However, we will note the difference between Fiscal Year 2013 and Fiscal Year 2014 visitors.","1. OnCell's Statistics: This provided the size of the audience given above. There were about 500 total cell phone call and mobile access visits from 270 people. Most were from Minnesota residents. We will have approximately the same size audience annually. 2. Visitor audio feedback: Some visitors provided more information about artifacts, showing that they were engaged. We received positive comments through audio feedback, too. The gist of them is that they enjoyed the experience, valued it, found the pieces concise and pleasant to listen to. 3. Large sign, verbal explanation: The best way to gauge peoples' reaction to the tour stops is when we show them the sign and explain the use of OnCell.

Specifically, it will help me kick off a new chamber music unit for band students by demonstrating what chamber music is during in-class and an evening performance and providing basic skills for young musicians to get started in chamber ensembles of their own. The goals of this residency are to: 1. Provide youth with the skills and tools to take music outside of the classroom and past the printed page. 2. Instill in young people an abiding love of music that results in lifelong engagement on many levels; playing, attending concerts, supporting the arts and teaching. 3. Increase each student’s understanding and skill in music, providing the basic skills to learn another way to perform (chamber music). 4. Provide a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of chamber music techniques. 5. Provide a chance for community members to experience live, professional instrumental music. We will evaluate the residency in three ways: 1) in-class responses and observed engagement from my students, 2) online surveys (hosted by The Copper Street Brass Quintet) for school faculty/staff, parents, students, and community members upon the residency’s culmination and 3) attendance numbers at the evening concert.","Students interacted during the masterclasses by trying new ideas on their instruments.

I will ask participants and performers again how the overall experience has affected them with regard to music making, their connection to Ordway Prairie and how or if they feel any change in their personal connection to nature.","Out of 94 surveys a majority of survey-takers had spent time on the prairie before, were over 60 years old and have lived in a rural area for more than 5 years. The opposite is true for most of the performers. A majority of the performers surveyed didn't reside in rural areas, were under 50 years old and had either never spent time on a prairie before or had once or twice. A majority of all surveyed had travelled 25-49 miles to the performance, said 'yes,' they feel they have a stronger connection to nature, and a new understanding of the land and its history. When comparing resonating artistic elements of the performance there was a close tie between the storytelling and music while the interpreted nature walk itself as the format was what people related to most.",,10701,"Other, local or private",17180,,,0.00,"Bethany Lacktorin",Individual,"Legacy Arts and Cultural Heritage",,"To premiere a new, multidisciplinary, outdoor, site specific performance installation titled, ""My Ocean,"" located at the Ordway Prairie nature preserve.",2016-05-09,2016-09-16,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Bethany,Lacktorin,"Bethany Lacktorin",,,MN,,"(320) 278-3266 ",lkjohanna@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Lake Region Arts Council",,"Pope, Stevens, Douglas",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/legacy-arts-and-cultural-heritage-188,"Eric Abrahamson: Former stage manager at Historic Holmes Theatre, Board Member at Playhouse 412; Susan Kay: Retired Professor of American Studies, Retreat Coordinator at New York Mills Arts Retreat; Gregory DeGier: trumpet player for Central Lakes Symphony Orchestra and various ensembles and pit bands; Amy Ann Mursu: Musician, including piano, clarinet, tuba, and violin; Jim Arvidson: Graduate of the Regional Leadership Institute, community service volunteer; Jeannie Pladsen: Retired Payroll Manger at the University of Minnesota-Morris, community leader; Barbara Lent: Former photography studio, textile artist, owner of a quilting retreat center; Andrew Sletten: drummer, actor, organizer of community arts space and performance venue; Siobhan Bremer: Associate Professor of Theatre at the University of Minnesota-Morris, regional equity actor, director, dancer; Jamie Beyer: marketing and graphic designer; Carolyn Flieder: fiber artist, former quilt shop owner; Stan Goldade: High School math instructor, photographer, ceramicist, sculptor; Erin Gunderson: Library branch Manager in Breckenridge, musician and artist; Carolyn Aarsvold: former Lake Region Arts Council Board member, retired instrumental music teacher.","Eric Abrahamson: Former stage manager at Historic Holmes Theatre, Board Member at Playhouse 412; Susan Kay: Retired Professor of American Studies, Retreat Coordinator at New York Mills Arts Retreat; Gregory DeGier: trumpet player for Central Lakes Symphony Orchestra and various ensembles and pit bands; Amy Ann Mursu: Musician, including piano, clarinet, tuba, and violin; Jim Arvidson: Graduate of the Regional Leadership Institute, community service volunteer; Jeannie Pladsen: Retired Payroll Manger at the University of Minnesota-Morris, community leader; Barbara Lent: Former photography studio, textile artist, owner of a quilting retreat center; Andrew Sletten: drummer, actor, organizer of community arts space and performance venue; Siobhan Bremer: Associate Professor of Theatre at the University of Minnesota-Morris, regional equity actor, director, dancer; Jamie Beyer: marketing and graphic designer; Carolyn Flieder: fiber artist, former quilt shop owner; Stan Goldade: High School math instructor, photographer, ceramicist, sculptor; Erin Gunderson: Library branch Manager in Breckenridge, musician and artist; Carolyn Aarsvold: former Lake Region Arts Council Board member, retired instrumental music teacher.",,2

Through workshops I offer, to connect with area residents and visitors in the vicinity of both Perham, Minnesota and Clitherall, Minnesota, and to facilitate their connection with art, welcoming and nurturing talent. 1. I will measure my goals first by comparing what I know regarding techniques in the use of alcohol inks on Yupo vs. the use of additional surfaces which I learn to utilize via the Art & Soul Retreat. 2. I will measure my goals by being able to incorporate additional art forms into my paintings and assess which are most usable by the frequency with which I use them. 3. A class questionnaire will be utilized at the onset of each workshop I offer in our area to measure the participant's level of experience in art. 4. A class evaluation will be utilized at the close of each workshop I offer in our area to measure the increase in knowledge of art techniques as well as to measure my effectiveness as an instructor that I may grow in my skills to share my knowledge of art and art techniques with others. 5. I will measure my goals by entering juried exhibitions and assessing those in which I am accepted. 6. I will measure my goals by assessing any increase of sales and/or commissioned art.","Most participants came to the workshops with an appreciation of art but very little experience in creating art. In fact, I would estimate approximately 70% felt they were not artists at all but just had found themselves very curious about the medium and how to use it in creating art.

",,"Minnesota has lost approximately 90% of Prairie wetlands, and many wetlands in other parts of the state, to drainage.  The prairie shallow lakes and wetland 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.  However, these remaining wetlands now receive excessive water and nutrient runoff from a highly interconnected, drained landscape through which invasive fish have easy access.  As a result, most of our remaining wetland and shallow lake basins are turbid and degraded due to high, stable water levels in which nutrients collect, carp and other invasive fish proliferate. Natural water level fluctuations no longer occur, fish winterkill events are rare, and aquatic ecology functions stagnate.  The result is a lack of aquatic plants and invertebrates required to sustain migrating and breeding waterfowl and other wetland-dependent birds, especially those species such as diving ducks that exclusively rely on aquatic plant and invertebrate foods within wetlands and shallow lakes to survive. Nongame wildlife such as shorebirds and wading birds suffer too. As a result, ducks migrating through Minnesota on their way north in spring find sparse aquatic food resources, much to their detriment when they stop to breed further north due to the importance of nutrient reserves required for egg laying.  Those waterfowl that remain here to breed encounter poor brood-rearing habitat, as few shallow lakes and marshes here have high quality wetland habitat with abundant aquatic plants and invertebrate food resources on which young ducks rely.  These factors have contributed to a decline in Minnesota’s diverse waterfowl resources and, unfortunately, a decline in Minnesota’s rich waterfowling traditions. To remedy this situation, this grant helped fund the ongoing delivery of Ducks Unlimited's “Living Lakes Initiative” conservation program to provide bio-engineering services to assist the Minnesota DNR, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS), and private landowner partners to enhance, restore, and protect Minnesota’s shallow lakes and wetlands.  This Phase 4 program funded Ducks Unlimited bio-engineering staff that assessed, designed, and constructed water control structures and fish barriers to improve wetlands on public land.  DU biologists worked closely with Minnesota DNR Shallow Lakes Program biologists to assess wetland conditions and identify possible management solutions, and assisted DNR in garnering private landowner and public stakeholder support for project implementation, including permits and easements.  DU surveyed, designed, and constructed the infrastructure necessary to actively manage public water wetland water levels.  This grant also supported ongoing shallow lake technical assistance from DU staff and consultant biologists and engineers to assess, survey, and design future projects for implementation under future OHF appropriations for this ongoing, programmatic conservation initiative once permits and easements are acquired by DNR and FWS. Finally, this grant also paid for DU costs to administer this grant. Most wetland enhancements and restorations occurred in the Prairie Section and supported the state’s Prairie Conservation Plan, along with a couple projects in the Metro and Transition Sections too.  Water control structures will be used by agency managers to simulate natural temporary drought cycles in shallow lakes and wetlands that rejuvenate the aquatic ecological process that produce abundant aquatic plants and invertebrates for waterfowl and other wetland wildlife.  These structures last for 30 or more years and are generally used by agency staff every 5-7 years to conduct periodic temporary draw-downs that are key to enhancing and maintaining highly productive wetlands.  During draw-downs, mudflat conditions will provide critical habitat for migrating shorebirds, and shallow emergent marshes resulting from draw-downs will benefit many wading bird and tern species too. DU may also survey, design and restore smaller wetlands on public and other protected land near shallow lakes when opportunities to do so arise. Shallow lakes were selected for enhancement by DNR and FWS managers in consultation with DU field biologists, and generally enjoy strong support from the public for improvement.  Minnesota DNR held public meetings to share information on current conditions and management plans for shallow lakes designated for wildlife management purposes.  Every 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 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. Ducks Unlimited’s Living Lakes Initiative directly addresses 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).  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 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 FWS and Minnesota DNR wildlife managers.  Shallow lakes and wetlands which undergo temporary water level draw-downs will provide excellent mudflat habitat for shorebirds and excellent shallow water and emergent marsh habitat for non-game wading birds and terns as called for by national and regional shore and wading bird conservation plans, in addition to improving waterfowl habitat.  DU shallow lake and wetland enhancement work is performed in close coordination and collaborative partnership with the Minnesota DNR, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, other government agencies, and private landowners.

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 and 99% of native prairie grasslands around them. This has had a profound negative impact on breeding ducks and other prairie wetland wildlife here. Our remaining shallow lakes and wetlands are often those that were too deep to drain years ago, and now function as the core of Minnesota's remaining waterfowl habitat complexes. Unfortunately, these remaining wetland basins now 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 drainage they received and high, stabilized water levels in which nutrients collect and invasive fish proliferate. This results in stagnated aquatic wetland ecology and productivity, and wetland basins with few aquatic plants and invertebrates for birds to eat. This is especially detrimental to diving ducks and other wetland-dependent species that rely exclusively on aquatic plant and invertebrate foods within wetlands and shallow lakes to survive. These factors have caused a significant decline in Minnesota's once diverse waterfowl population, and as a result, in Minnesota's rich waterfowling traditions. This funding request will support DU staff biologists and engineers who survey, design, and manage construction of shallow lake enhancement and wetland restoration projects to improve public water shallow lakes and restore wetlands and grasslands, primarily in the Prairie Pothole Region of SW Minnesota. Funding will also support ongoing shallow lake technical assistance from DU staff to assess, survey, and design future enhancement and wetland projects for implementation under future OHF appropriations for this program.",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,John,Lindstrom,"Ducks Unlimited","c/o USFWS Litchfield WMD 22274 615th Avenue",Litchfield,MN,55355,3206932849,jlindstrom@ducks.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Brown, Carver, Cottonwood, Douglas, Freeborn, Grant, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Lyon, Marshall, Martin, Meeker, Morrison, Murray, Nobles, Otter Tail, Pope, Redwood, Renville, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Steele, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Watonwan, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/living-shallow-lake-enhancement-wetland-restoration-initiative-phase-viii,,,,

The Project will meet plan goals for water quality and altered hydrology effects by replacing the existing ditch with a 300-foot wide, 260 acre floodplain corridor with a 6.7-mile meandering channel focused on natural channel design. Approximately 30 water quality side inlets will be installed at targeted areas along the corridor to provide additional water quality benefits to the rehabilitated reach. In addition to the stream rehabilitation, the project will provide approximately 34 acres of constructed wetland habitat and 226 acres of native upland buffer areas within the stream channel and associated floodplain areas, permanently protected by the District. The Mustinka River Rehabilitation Project was initially supported by an FY22 BWSR P&P award of $800,000. However, because Minnesota's Flood Hazard Mitigation Program was unable to provide additional funding during FY22, the Project Team split the Mustinka River Rehabilitation Project into Phase 2a and 2b. This strategy facilitated the timely expenditure of committed funds and prevented costly construction delays. The Phase 2a effort is currently constructing the downstream 2.5 miles of the meandering bypass channel. It is scheduled for completion in November 2023. The current proposal seeks funding for Phase 2b, which will construct the remaining 4.2 miles of the meandering bypass channel. Phase 2b is scheduled to begin in the spring and will reach completion by the end of 2024. Crucially, the MN FHM program has now committed $4.4M to the Phase 2b effort in 2024. Overall, the Mustinka River Rehabilitation Project is estimated to reduce sediment loading to the impaired reach of the Mustinka River by 253 tons/yr and phosphorus by 72 lbs/year. This will result in achieving 21% of the overall short-term sediment reduction goal and 19% of the phosphorus reduction goal for the entire Lower Mustinka and Twelvemile Creek planning region as identified in the CWMP. Rehabilitation of this river will meet 35% of the plan goal to stabilize priority reaches to decrease excessive erosion and channel sediment accumulation. This Project meets many goals identified in the CWMP and is one of the largest proposed capital improvement projects listed.

Work will be focused in areas identified as having significant biodiversity by the Minnesota Biological Survey and located in priority areas in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan.","The Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) was established in 2000 to address the loss of America's grasslands and the decline of grassland wildlife. The Refuge was created to permanently preserve and restore a portion of our disappearing tallgrass prairie. The Refuge is authorized to work in the prairie landscapes of western Minnesota and northwestern Iowa. To date, the Refuge has protected more than 12,400 acres. Funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) will allow The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), working in partnership, to significantly accelerate this progress. TNC and USFWS will cooperate on protecting approximately 1,020 acres of native prairie and associated habitat in the 49 Minnesota counties within the Refuge boundary. We expect to protect approximately 408 acres in fee title and approximately 612 acres with permanent habitat easements. This program's work is targeted at protecting high-quality native habitat in areas with existing concentrations of native prairie, wetlands, and protected lands. The lands protected will consist of native prairie and associated habitats including wetlands, streams, coulees, and lakes. Potential acquisitions are reviewed using the following criteria: 1) Is there untilled native prairie on the tract? If not, is it adjacent to untilled native prairie? 2) Is the property in a priority area (core/corridor/complex) identified in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (Prairie Plan)? 3) Is it adjacent to an existing complex of protected land? 4) Was it identified by Minnesota Biological Survey (Biological Survey) or FWS biologists as having concentrations of threatened and endangered species and communities? 5) Is it suitable for public recreation? Because of the nature of parcel ownership, some properties acquired through this program will likely include small areas of converted or degraded habitat needing restoration or enhancement work. Restoration and enhancement will be completed where needed. With this program's focus on native habitat, only a limited amount of cropland restoration has been required. The funds for this work are primarily for enhancement activities such as invasives, tree, and brush removal that prepare these properties for long-term management. Previous OHF support has allowed the partners to make significant progress towards our shared goal of protecting and buffering the remaining native prairie. The first property was acquired in March, 2013. Since then, approximately 6,779 acres have been added to the Refuge with OHF funding. Of these, approximately 4,028 acres (nearly 60%) are classified as untilled native prairie. Additional habitat includes nearly 600 acres of wetlands, nearly 20 miles of stream front, and more than 2.5 miles of lakefront. We have signed agreements with landowners for the protection of approximately 737 additional acres (443 acres of which are native prairie), and are negotiating with landowners on an additional 266 acres. Talks are ongoing with a long list of interested landowners. With additional support from the Outdoor Heritage Fund, this program will continue to make lasting progress towards protecting Minnesota's native prairies and the wildlife that depend on those lands.",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Chris,McGrath,"The Nature Conservancy","1101 West River Parkway Suite 200",Minneapolis,MN,55415,6123310752,c.mcgrath@tnc.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Brown, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Grant, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, Marshall, Martin, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Norman, Otter Tail, Pennington, Pipestone, Polk, Pope, Red Lake, Redwood, Renville, Rock, Roseau, Stearns, Stevens, Swift, Traverse, Wilkin, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/northern-tallgrass-prairie-national-wildlife-refuge-phase-xiii,,,,

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

The board has started its class selection process early this year with the hope of acquiring a new batch of teachers and classes in 2018. Milan Village Arts School prides itself in the quality of its classes and is not intending on adding classes simply to expand offerings. It is important the new classes are a good match for the school, our curriculum, and our students. This takes time. We are also hoping to attract more instructors from our region. Our goal is to add a further ten - fifteen classes by 2019. Goal 2) Originally a one-day event, the Spoon Gathering has now grown into a full week of carving, demonstrations, workshops, presentations and pre-event classes. Every year is a growing challenge. While interest grows, we plan to keep improving the event and make it as successful as possible. Our goal is to keep growing the Spoon Gathering while branding Minnesota as the center of green woodworking in the US. Goal 3) After a year of consolidation and planning, 2019 will be a time to launch new initiatives. Our goal is to implement at least one new major project in 2019. Goal 1) A review of the classes on offer in the 2019 Class Schedule will be the best way of evaluating the growth of classes. Goal 2) We actively seek feedback from event attendees though a feedback form and consultation. There is a lot of energy from a lot of people that contribute to the success of the Spoon Gathering. The interest and support are not waning. In fact, it is growing. Goal 3) Late 2018 and 2019 represent the beginning of a new phase with unlimited growth possibilities for the school. What we implement will be the evaluation.","MVAS has a record number of classes for the 2019 - 2020 teaching year. We expect to teach some 70 - 80 classes for the year ranging from one to five days. Student numbers increase each year and have so for the last ten years. This is reflected in the increased income from tuition. In both 2018 and 2019, the Spoon Gathering reached capacity. In 2020, we will look at expanding from 200 registered carvers to 225. The Dan Fondell Young Artist Scholarship was introduced. A number of young artists ranging from fifteen to 23 have accessed the scholarship. All funding from this initiative comes from donations.","Achieved proposed outcomes",80220,"Other,local or private",89796,,"Jon Roisen, Kirstin Lindstrom, Jill Christie, Scott Wilson, Bob Kempe, Marcy Brekken, Maureen Hark",0.00,"Milan Village Arts School","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"Operating Support Year 2, FY2019.",2019-01-01,2019-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ron,Porep,"Milan Village Arts School","PO Box 230",Milan,MN,56262,"(320) 734-4807",mvas@fedteldirect.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Chippewa, Swift, Lac qui Parle, Kandiyohi, Big Stone, Renville, Meeker, Stearns, Redwood, Lyon, Pope, Yellow Medicine, Stevens, Murray, Pipestone, Grant, Douglas, Otter Tail, Wadena, Traverse, Wilkin, Hennepin, Carver, Dakota, Todd, Rice, Wright, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-1540,"Joyce Aakre: visual art, writing, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Pam Blake: visual art, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Mark Bosveld: theatre, arts administration; Steve Linstrom: writing, museum admin; Anne O’Keefe-Jackson: visual art, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board Board; Liz Rackl: visual art, arts administration; Tom Wirt: visual art, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council 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, South Dakota Arts Educators Association, Southwest Minnesota Weaver’s Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Dan Wahl: writer, visual artist, director, adjunct English instructor SMSU; 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; Reggie Gorter: vocalist, theatre, voice/dance teacher; Dana Conroy: producer/filmmaker; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2

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. Designing paid advertising so it features more than one event: We tried this and our patrons found it confusing.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",54981,"Other,local or private",62318,,"Abigail Duly, Virginia Lief, Joanne Richard, Keith Olson, April Dorry",,"Crow River Players, Inc.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"Operating Support FY18/19.",2018-01-01,2019-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Abigail,Duly,"Crow River Players","PO Box 536","New London",MN,56273,"(320) 212-8287 ",dulya@nls.k12.mn.us,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Kandiyohi, Stearns, Swift, Ramsey, McLeod, Meeker, Pope, Renville, Big Stone, Wright, Hennepin, Benton, Todd, Carver, Sibley, Nicollet, Douglas, Lyon, Scott",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-1341,"Joyce Aakre: Visual Art, Writing, SMAC Board; Pam Blake: Visual Art, SMAC Board; Mark Bosveld: Theatre, Arts Admin; Steve Linstrom: Writing, Museum Admin; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: Visual Art, SMAC Board; Liz Rackl: Visual Art, Arts Admin; Tom Wirt: Visual Art, 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, South Dakota Arts Educators Association, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Dan Wahl: writer, visual artist, director, adjunct English instructor SMSU; 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; Reggie Gorter: vocalist, theatre, voice, dance teacher; Dana Conroy: producer, filmmaker; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2

The school is currently going through a transition with a number of older artists retiring. Replacing them will be a challenge and takes time. The board has started its class selection process early this year with the hope of acquiring a new batch of teachers and classes in 2018. MVAS prides itself in the quality of its classes and is not intending on adding classes simply to expand offerings. It is important the new classes are a good match for the school, our curriculum, and our students. This takes time. We are also hoping to attract more instructors from our region. Our goal is to add a further ten - fifteen classes by 2019. Goal 2) Originally a one day event, the Spoon Gathering has now grown into a full week of carving, demonstrations, workshops, presentations and pre-event classes. Every year is a growing challenge. While interest grows, we plan to keep improving the event and make it as successful as possible. Our goal is to keep growing the Spoon Gathering while branding Minnesota as the center of green woodworking in the US. Goal 3) After a year of consolidation and planning, 2019 will be a time to launch new initiatives. Our goal is to implement at least one new major project in 2019. Goal 1) A review of the classes on offer in the 2019 Class Schedule will be the best way of evaluating the growth of classes. Goal 2) We actively seek feedback from event attendees though a feedback form and consultation. There is a lot of energy from a lot of people that contribute to the success of the Spoon Gathering. The interest and support is not waning. In fact it is growing. Goal 3) Late 2018 and 2019 represent the beginning of a new phase with unlimited growth possibilities for the school. What we implement will be the evaluation.","Goal 1: Some 60 classes will be on offer this year. More importantly the classes are filling well. The only class cancelled to date was a cooking class held 2 weeks after the new schedule launch. That class was rescheduled for later in 2019. Class schedules have been distributed throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul. All Twin Cities classes have filled to date. Goal 2: Previously, the largest number of attendees at the Spoon Gathering was 160. In 2018, there were 205 registered participants. 200 was our theoretical limit based on the facilities and staffing, however the school feels it can handle at least 225 for 2019. Goal 3: The Young Artist Scholarship Fund is up and running. The school has already had 2 successful applicants. One was a 22 year old female college student from St. Paul who has a passion for wood bowl turning and the other was a 15 year old local high school student with a interest in Norwegian knife making. Several of our past young students have taken our classes and now pursuing arts careers. One is currently at college studying art and the another is in Sweden studying metal working at a famous Swedish folk school. MVAS hopes the Young Artist Scholarship Fund will help to facilitate more of these successes. MVAS has never had the budget for wide scale media promotion. The partnership with Pioneer has enabled MVAS to reach a much wider audience. One of our challenges has been that students were not aware the school existed. Once a student takes a class a the school, more often than not they return to take further classes.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",73694,"Other,local or private",83270,,"Jon Roisen, John Larson, Kirstin Lindstrom, Jill Christie, Robin Moore, Jill Blom, Scott Wilson, Bob Kempe, Pauline Pate",,"Milan Village Arts School","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"Operating Support FY18/19.",2018-01-01,2019-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ron,Porep,"Milan Village Arts School","PO Box 230",Milan,MN,56262,"(320) 734-4807 ",mvas@fedteldirect.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Chippewa, Swift, Lac qui Parle, Kandiyohi, Big Stone, Renville, Meeker, Stearns, Redwood, Lyon, Pope, Yellow Medicine, Stevens, Murray, Pipestone, Grant, Douglas, Otter Tail, Wadena, Traverse, Wilkin, Hennepin, Carver, Dakota, Todd, Rice, Wright, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-1346,"Joyce Aakre: Visual Art, Writing, SMAC Board; Pam Blake: Visual Art, SMAC Board; Mark Bosveld: Theatre, Arts Admin; Steve Linstrom: Writing, Museum Admin; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: Visual Art, SMAC Board; Liz Rackl: Visual Art, Arts Admin; Tom Wirt: Visual Art, 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, South Dakota Arts Educators Association, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Dan Wahl: writer, visual artist, director, adjunct English instructor SMSU; 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; Reggie Gorter: vocalist, theatre, voice, dance teacher; Dana Conroy: producer, filmmaker; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2

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. Reach at least 110,000 Minnesotans; serve at least 22% of Minnesota’s cities and towns; assure that 30% of programming is done in greater Minnesota; provide a program that reduces costs to greater Minnesota schools by 25%. 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.

We were able to provide residents in Pipestone and the surrounding area opportunities to experience a variety of arts programming that is offered no where else in this immediate area, including dance, drama, music, storytelling, illusions and other performing arts.

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.

Over $50,000 was raised to purchase the system (Artsopolis.com) and Great River Educational Art Theatre worked with over 70 local groups to enter events and launch the site with a large marketing campaign. In the first year over 25,000 unique visits to the site were recorded. The site is now managed daily by our local Convention and Visitors Bureau with Great River Educational Art Theatre providing oversight as needed. Our Shakespeare Festival brought together 14 local arts groups (and the History Museum and Universities) to all present theater, music, visual art, history, and food/drink around the many works of William Shakespeare. A highlight of the festival was the Great River Educational Art Theatre production of West Side Story and a locally brewed Shakesbeer created by Granite City Brewery.",,887862,Other,911829,,"Bonnie Bologna, Joanne Dorsher, Brady Hughs, Patrick LaLonde, Patricia Dorsher, Pat Thompsen, Sara Erickson, Steve Palmer, Monica Segura-Swartz, Marianne Arnzen, Wendy Hansen",,"Great River Educational Arts Theatre AKA GREAT Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Anita,Hollenhorst,"Great River Educational Arts Theatre AKA GREAT Theatre","919 St Germain St W Ste 3000","St Cloud",MN,56301-3407,"(320) 258-2787 ",AnitaH@greattheatre.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Stearns, Benton, Wright, Sherburne, Meeker, Morrison, Mille Lacs, Anoka, Ramsey, Scott, Carver, Hennepin, Sibley, Renville, Kandiyohi, Pope, Douglas, Todd, Crow Wing, Wadena, Stevens, Swift, Chippewa, Traverse, Wilkin, Sibley, Nicollet",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-188,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

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.

More than 85% of fiscal year 2013 participants will report that their writing improved and that they gained greater knowledge of the creative writing craft. To evaluate participation and artistic development, we employ the use of post-class and post-conference surveys. Students and mentees self-report the answers to questions about the effectiveness of the experience, the knowledge of the teaching artist or mentor, and their personal artistic advancement. Registration information allows us to accurately track student enrollment in on-site and online classes and conferences. Although we meet resistance from constituents, we ask artists and students to self-report demographics. The Loft also recognizes and encourages writers of all levels by offering opportunities focused towards the many stages of artistic development of our constituents. We monitor enrollment by the skill level and genre of our classes. 2: The Loft will support a thriving artistic community by providing earning opportunities for writers. Artists' honoraria will make up at least 20% of the Loft's overall expenses in fiscal year 2013, with approximately $400,000 paid to writers.

Stipends for contracted directors, designers, and other artistic personnel increased by 42%, making our rates more equitable with what is offered in the rest of the seven-county metro area and allowing us to hire highly qualified personnel for every production in our season. We were also able to spend more on supplies and equipment. Based on feedback from the artists involved in the season, many of whom were of a higher caliber than in previous seasons, artistic excellence increased substantially. That same feedback pointed out opportunities for improvement in our production process. This led to changes in our artistic staff and a reorganization that will lay the ground work for future growth and success. 2: Lyric Arts saw no substantial increase in the number of individual attendees from year to year through the expansion of current marketing plans. In the evaluation of our limited success this area, it was noted that while the expansion of marketing plans was easy to implement, refinement of the plans was more difficult to accomplish due to the structure (and the very small size) of our staff. As a result, Lyric Arts has reorganized the administrative staff to create departments for specialists instead of collaboration between generalists.

A newly designed Instructor-In-Residence program in 2013 offers any campus visitors, including families and children, the opportunity to interact with an artist demonstrating live craft. 2: Build momentum for year-round coursework to nurture the thriving arts community on Minnesota's North Shore. Student enrollment in course catalogs and membership support were both at their highest rates ever in 2012. Student enrollment increased from 1,610 students in 2011 to 1,757 in 2012. An increase both in terms of total number of students served (+9%) and total student days (+10%). In the past year off-season programming was more robust than ever. For example, in February 2013, 244 students were on campus, exceeding late summer 2012 enrollment. Whether or not this continues as a growing trend, there has certainly been a shift in the feel on campus as the off season can be even busier than the summer high season. Membership was similarly successful, with a 20% increase in member numbers (from 800 in 2011 to 957 in 2012). Our annual campaign raised $157,138, an increase of 32% from 2011's $119,240.",,676841,Other,700895,19822,"Lou Pignolet, Dave Morris, Rita Plourde, Paul Aslanian, Mary Anderson, Buck Benson, Jean Cochrane, Rob Ilstrup, Scott Kindrick, Jo Ann Krause, Anne McKinsey, Steve Surbaugh, Martha Williams",0.6,"North House Folk School","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Wright,"North House Folk School","PO Box 759 500 W Hwy 61","Grand Marais",MN,55604-0759,"(218) 387-9762 ",gwright@northhouse.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Blue Earth, Brown, Carlton, Carver, Cass, Chisago, Clay, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Hennepin, Houston, Hubbard, Isanti, Itasca, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Koochiching, Lake, Le Sueur, Lyon, Mahnomen, McLeod",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-231,"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.

Goal 1: Improved artistic programming; and performed five concerts in Home Concert Series (Minneapolis, St Paul, and Duluth venues). Measure: Ticket sales measure numbers served; with surveys and feedback to measure audience response to programming. Goal 2: Improved K-12 educational residency initiative. Measure: Student and teacher feedback on survey insures residency is meaningful experience. We used a special evaluation tool to measure success in for standards based curriculum goals.

We anticipate engaging the staff and board in a process to create our new strategic plan in 2012. The Rose Ensemble now has a board with strength in the areas of finance, marketing, development, and educational outreach programming. It took longer during 2012-13 than was expected to recruit new board members; and to insure that they had the necessary skill sets to foster organizational growth. It was decided to place strategic planning on hold until we had a full complement of board members with what we considered to be the necessary skill sets. This meant that we did not meet our second project goal of establishing a new strategic plan. However, in taking our time to recruit key board members, we are now in a much more appropriate position to launch our strategic planning during 2013-14.","2012-13 Season concerts and programs included: Free season opening at Central Lutheran (Minneapolis); Miraculous Mass of Mary's Nativity of Our Lord Catholic (St Paul), Basilica of Saint Mary (Minneapolis), Church of Saint Charles Borromeo (Minneapolis), each with pre-concert presentations; Vamos a Belen's Sacred Heart Music Center (Duluth), Nativity of Our Lord (St Paul), Basilica of Saint Mary (Minneapolis) and Saint Philip the Deacon (Plymouth); Sibyls of the Rhine's Church of the Holy Cross (Minneapolis), Nativity of Our Lord (St Paul), Basilica of Saint Mary (Minneapolis), Sacred Heart Music Center (Duluth) and pre-concert presentations at Nativity and Sacred Heart; and we presented Stile Antico at the Basilica of Saint Mary (Minneapolis). 2: A second goal was creation of our next strategic plan. This process was to occur during 2012-13. As board members retired, recruitment with specific skill sets became our top priority - when up to full strength, strategic planning can proceed. Recruitment took longer than expected, and strategic planning has been moved to fiscal year 2013-14. During 2012-13, we set parameters for accomplishing our mission; translating them into operational plans. Budgeting required staff to develop their own budgets. We chart income and expenses for each area, determining where we grow revenue and clarifying actual costs for programs.

The above outcomes were evaluated quantitatively based on involvement in our outreach programs and number of youth served through performances, workshops, camps, etc. We compared fiscal year 2013 figures with fiscal year 2012 figures, as well as with the three-year average from fiscal year 2010-2012. 2: Offering advanced musical opportunities: The Saint John’s Boys’ Choir seeks to offer the highest quality of choral music education available in the United States to our targeted membership in Central Minnesota. This includes the hiring of exceptional staff who regularly work with the singers; collaborations with professional artists from across the state, country, and world who can offer extraordinary insight and mentorship; and the purchase of music that represents the highest national standards of musical excellence. The artistic quality of the program and repertoire was evaluated qualitatively based on the experience and judgment of our artistic staff, verbal and written feedback of audience members and other professional artists, and standards set forth by the American Choral Directors' Association. The quality of the staff is evaluated every 1-2 years by external reviewers who are renowned artists in the choral field. Quantitative assessment was also used in measuring the number of collaborations and professional artists with whom our choirboys worked during fiscal year 2013. Audience attendance and concert revenue were also used as indicators as to how well the artistic program was serving the community.","The Saint John's Boy's Choir sought to extend arts opportunities to underserved youth through after-school programs, targeted performances, workshops, festivals, and camps. While unable to successfully remount an after-school program, we increased our presence in schools, presenting concerts and workshops for students. We targeted urban schools with socio-economically diverse populations, schools which recently suffered financial cuts to their arts programs, and rural schools with limited opportunities to attend performances. The number of youth served through activities rose significantly this year, and the organization saw increased participation in its two major extra-curricular outreach programs, KidSing (up 12%) and Sing in the Summer (up 161%).

Productions showcasing theatre artists of color were prioritized for 2012 and 2013, leading to the scheduling of Legacy Live (led by Luis Castillo with a company of African American, Latino, and biracial performers) in July 2012 and Sisters! by Jevetta and Jearlyn Steele and featuring a company of the best African American musical theatre artists in the region in June 2013. Similarly, staff hiring is acting affirmatively in its pursuit of seasonal and year-round employees. Marketing efforts to identify, welcome, and invite populations of color will match programmatic efforts. We will assess the number of Minnesota artists (and arts companies) paid to participate as performers, directors, designers, technicians, choreographers, composers, musical directors, musicians, dancers, and educators with an eye on growing that number. 2: The Arts Thrive In Minnesota. In the grant period, 2012-14, Theatre l’Homme Dieu will produce and present the work of eighteen Minnesota professional theatres, performance artists, and performing companies. Theatre l’Homme Dieu is devoted to bringing in the best performances and performers for Lakes Region audiences with the caveat that all companies be from Minnesota and that all artists are paid. Theatre l’Homme Dieu will also brand its facilities and compound to be a place of assembly for people of all ages from throughout Central Minnesota, featuring high school performances, summer theatre and dance classes, and civic meetings, as well as serving as a gathering place for social, fraternal, and professional associations. We will use 2011 statistical data as a guide and track the breadth and diversity of audiences via data base analysis and surveys, in terms of expanded geographic reach, in terms of race and culture, and in terms of age.","During the 2012 season, 53 artists worked at Theatre L'Homme Dieu. All six companies that came to the theatre during that season were Minnesota based companies. In 2013, all six companies will, once again, be Minnesota based companies, and it is anticipated that at least 70 artists, musical directors, musicians, directors, dancers and technicians will be a part of the season, all of whom are based in Minnesota as well. 2: Theatre L'Homme Dieu continues to work on this through the use of surveys. During the 2012 season, productions like Gilligan's Island, the Musical and Legacy Tribute to the King of Pop brought new, younger audiences to the theatre. The latter also brought a more ethnically diverse crowd, drawing audiences not only from the area, but also from the Twin Cities.

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.

Staff also gathered demographic data from visitors and program participants to assess the composition of the audience and identify underserved populations. Utilizing survey data, we identified areas of improvement to programs and services and subsequently implemented improvements. 2: Continue to provide engaging educational programs for our community to participate and expand the reach of our education programs and events both onsite and through outreach partnerships. Our programming is of high-quality, led by Franconia's qualified staff and professional artists. Annually, 50,000+ visitors come to Franconia and thousands participate in our educational programs. Our educational programs and art events are successful and vital to the community. Franconia's hands-on art-making workshops, tours of the exhibition, a symposia series, and free art events are open to people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities. Ensure that artists from diverse backgrounds are represented in the park's exhibition. Maintain accessible facilities and programs. Our educational programming and events will be attended by the widest possible demographic. Our artist constituency will include people of diverse backgrounds.

To accomplish this we would need to recruit 4 to 6 directors, review their productions choices, pick the plays, apply for rights, and schedule the dates. We need to be ready to produce at least 4 productions a year if the school referendum passes, or two productions if it doesn't pass. 2. We want to increase the number of concerts to 15 per year. 3. To increase our attendance to an average of 100 attendees per at theatrical performances and 100 attendees per concerts. We will accomplish this with a variety of offerings of high quality entertainment. 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. Our goals are numerical and we will easily be able to evaluate whether or not we have reached them by keeping track of attendance and participation at events and by comparing 2016-2017 numbers with records from 2014-2015.","1) We put on 3 out of 4 planned productions since the school was delayed in moving out. 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. Concert attendance varied greatly. Well known bands that have a strong Facebook and email following attained the 100 mark. However we booked some lesser known bands and attendance was around 40.

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

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

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts.","Art therapy at the Cancer Care Research Center was increased from 1x -2x per month. Serving on average ten people/month. This allowed patients participating to receive more frequent follow up, care and instruction in the arts. Art therapy is a safe place where the use of arts can be paired with emotional and mental health care. We have created a supportive environment that uses the arts as part of the healing and recovery process in cancer. The arts serve to help patients develop new coping skills that reduce stress and anxiety leading to an improved recovery and future prevention of chronic illness. Because of this change the individual participation was more consistent, deeper relationships were formed and greater progress in healing reported. We used an informal evaluation survey with each patient to assess their experience with the art therapy sessions. 100% of patients surveyed reported a positive experience by participating in the arts and would consider participating in similar experiences in the future. The barriers were identified by our art therapist who provides the direct service to patients. The most consistent barrier we face is to engage the public in participating in the art therapy sessions. Art can be intimidating for some people as they fear not being adequate to complete a project. We are not able to fully mitigate the barriers as these are an ongoing challenge with the public; however we learn new strategies that help us better connect the message we are trying communicate. We have developed a promotional video that we are using on our organizations website and on iPads that can be viewed by patients in the waiting room. The promotional video gives an excellent definition of art therapy and its benefits. It also includes a testimonial by a patient who has benefited from incorporating arts into her life and healing process. We continue to work with Springboard for the Arts, A Center for the Arts, and Mill Street Residence to identify new opportunities for artists to participate in programming through Lake Region Healthcare. These organizations use various artists and have been a great resource to our facility in developing new ideas and connecting to a particular artist for service. Several artists who have helped develop art kits to be used by chemotherapy patients and/or their family members has allowed us to create a pool of artists to be called upon for future projects and services.

The work will be conducted primarily through contracts with local vendors, Conservation Corps of Minnesota or Student Conservation Association crews and by using Nature Conservancy seasonal and permanent staff. Prairie Recovery Biologists, stationed in four landscapes within the Prairie region are responsible for identifying and prioritizing projects in collaboration with agency land managers; selecting vendors and overseeing contracted work; and managing and directing seasonal staff. The Biologists are also responsible for participating in and leading Prairie Plan Local Technical Team efforts to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of grassland conservation program delivery by multiple partners at the landscape scale. Restore - Approximately 100 acres of cropland will be restored to diverse local-ecotype grassland and grassland/wetland complexes. Practices to be implemented include those listed as enhancements above and the restoration of original wetland hydrology. Results to date - Through previous Phases of the Prairie Recovery Program we have protected 7,874 acres of prairies, wetlands, and grasslands, enhanced more than 165,000 acres of permanently protected grasslands and restored approximately 1,900 acres with locally-sourced native seed. All parcels protected directly contributed to the functional integrity of existing habitat complexes. Costs to acquire properties in fee-title have averaged around $2,500 per acre, though land prices have been escalating rapidly. Our enhancement projects have focused on accelerating the implementation of prescribed fire, woody vegetation removal, building the infrastructure for conservation grazing systems and treatment of invasive species. Costs for enhancement and restoration work vary depending on the practices being implemented and have averaged around $125 per acre.

A summary of the data that is collected will be shared with the artistic staff and board of directors and will be used for future planning purposes.""","Specific outcomes achieved as a result of this project include the introduction of music by living Minnesota composers and poetry by living Minnesota poets to audiences and performers who did not previously know these works, the world premieres of two new songs composed for Great River Chorale, and a pre-concert conversation with composer Laura Caviani and poet David Bengtson led by Great River Chorale artistic managing director Mary Kay Geston that explored the origin and inspiration for some of the music and poetry in the concerts. This activity also provided an opportunity for the 30 people in attendance to ask questions and interact with the guest artists. Another outcome of this project is due to advertising in a new radio market (Minnesota Public Radio) in an effort to target an audience interested in classical music. Verbal feedback from several first-time attendees indicated that the MPR advertisements were the single reason they purchased tickets to the concert. Quantitative evaluation of this project was done by counting the number and type of tickets sold, as well as by assessing the manner in which audience members learned about the concerts. Combined ticket sales for both 2015 concerts were 191 seniors, 191 adults, and 42 students, equaling a total of 424 audience members. When buying advance tickets online, purchasers were asked to identify how they learned about the concerts. This data showed that our audience learned about the concerts by (in descending order of frequency) hearing about it from a performer, receiving a seasonal mailer, seeing an online advertisement, reading an article in the Saint Cloud Times, seeing an advertisement in a church newsletter, receiving an email from Great River Chorale, and by word of mouth. Written and verbal feedback from audience members and participating artists provided qualitative feedback and is exemplified in the following comments: ""Wow, your performance yesterday totally exceeded my expectations!"", ""The whole program was so wonderful: seamless transitions between pieces, interesting and varied choice of material, joyous yet professional, too."", ""Thank you for programming and conducting the exceptional Christmas Concerts this weekend."", ""A tenor in our church choir, who is not easily pleased, announced at our rehearsal that his ears were ""happy"" because of the quality of Great River Chorale singing!""",,13673,"Other, local or private",16464,,"Katherine Gardner, Connie Taylor, Dennis Douma, Maureen McCarter, Alex Hennen, Jennifer Pearson Hennen, Mary Geston, Deborah Ferrell",0.00,"Great River Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Project Grant",,"Made in Minnesota: Music of the Season",2015-12-04,2015-12-06,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Mary Kay",Geston,"Great River Chorale","4310 County Rd 137 PO Box 945","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 515-4472 ",greatriverchorale@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, Wright, Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Morrison, Todd, Douglas, Kandiyohi",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-162,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.",,2

So much of the art at Millstream has a connection to nature through its organic origins--whether it's clay for pottery, wool or leather for fiber art, glass, metal or wood.

By providing interesting and relevant art activities on a regular basis, visitors and local community members can engage with artists and new perspectives, leading to an expanded understanding of creativity, difference, and possibility. 2. By creating a making environment that encourages fun, exploration, play, and creativity, participants will try the project and report having fun or trying something they have not tried before with the artist. 3. Artists will feel valued by how we engage them in the ideation of programming, fair compensation, and collaborative processes. To measure these outcomes, we will create a survey for each activity, both digital (provided with a QR code and or IPad mini voting survey) and a playful interactive rock survey that will gather feedback and data and track newcomers and regular visitors to the program. The artist will also complete a closing survey after their project is complete. The artist survey will gather data on the artist's experience as well as offer them an opportunity to share any observations on the participant's experience by noting memorable comments and questions. The artist or the Art Coordinator will tally and track participation with their project, and note return participation as well as any outlier data such as an out-of-state residence or a large group affiliated with another organization such as a school, daycare, biking club, etc. This data will be recorded after each workshop. Other comments and notes will also be compiled including correlating events at Art in Motion, the weather (on a bike trail the weather can greatly affect traffic). The combination of qualitative and quantitative data will help provide a holistic review of the outcomes. The bucket system will have a total of 5 buckets mounted on a board with written directions. A digital survey will be made available on an iPad or with a QR code to scan and take the survey. The 5 buckets can be interacted with colored beans in three colors indicating ?yes,? ?kinda/maybe,? and ?no. The questions will be: was this fun, did you learn or try something new today, and have you been to art on a roll before. The last question will be how old are you and participants can take a piece of candy and write age and where they live on the candy wrapper and place it in the bucket (recycled paper slips will also be provided for this question) for those wishing to save their candy or choose not to eat candy. These survey questions will be written in English, Spanish and Somali. The fifth bucket will hold the beans or rocks. The digital survey will provide more questions for demographic information. The questions are designed to be simple and playful but also allow insight into deeper outcomes like expanded perspectives and creativity. Using candy as an incentive we hope to increase the response rate on the survey from the insignificant 31% response rate from last year. In 2021 our evaluation methods involved a paper dot sheet where participants would answer questions by placing a colored dot in a box corresponding to their experience or leave a short answer. we also had a QR code present that held a digital survey. The paper survey was not that effective when participants were not directed to engage with it. The QR code had very low engagement.

The response did confirm that the artists felt valued through the program by the organization and their monetary stipend.

Reflection and evaluation are central to the work we do at GREAT. We credit the process of asking for and implementing feedback as a major contributor to our growth and continued relevance to our community. Throughout this grant proposal we have included actual quotes from audience members, youth artists, and educators who attended our most recent Youth Artist Project indicating just one of the ways we receive, listen to, and respond to evaluation feedback. We also intentionally seek feedback from the youth artists, asking them to respond/reflect on the process at various points throughout the rehearsal and production period. The project ends with a debrief of youth artists and a debrief session with mentors where we reflect upon the process, our goals and areas for future growth. These surveys and notes from feedback sessions guide our planning, and have directly impacted how we work with youth on this project as we adapt and modify the project every year based on what we have learned.

",,"Audubon and Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) designed the Protecting and Restoring Minnesota's Important Birds Areas Program to provide solutions to declining grassland and waterbird populations due to habitat loss in western Minnesota. This program is unique for several reasons: 1) the emphasis on Important Bird Areas, which are essential to maintaining healthy and diverse bird populations in Minnesota; 2) a commitment to protecting and restoring working grasslands, remnant prairies and threatened wetlands within these IBAs; 3) the utilization of the cost- effective, reverse-bid model of evaluating and paying for conservation easements. In the Tallgrass Aspen Parklands, Audubon utilized a GIS analysis which found that within these IBAs, there are a total of 339,616 acres of private lands. Of those, 105,000 acres (31%) could be considered wildlife habitat worthy of conservation (e.g., wetlands, grasslands or woodlands). More specifically, private lands that are both within an Important Bird Area and a Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan core area total 195,480 acres, of which 51,576 (26%) could be considered of conservation value. It is this 26% of high priority private lands that this project targeted for protection, restoration, and enhancement in the Tallgrass Aspen Parklands. Specific tracts for easements were identified through a targeted application process as part of this Program’s innovative scoring system. The evaluation and payment strategy was based on MLT’s successful Avon Hills and the Wetlands Protection Initiative, which both used a science-based ranking system and reverse-bid model to leverage the State’s investment on these high-value wildlife lands. Audubon and MLT focused restoration/enhancement efforts on IBAs and the Prairie Plan’s priority areas within western and northwestern Minnesota where these efforts would most benefit target species. Restoration/enhancement work occurred on public lands and private lands previously protected by MLT under this grant and existing USFWS conservation easements. Easement lands, although permanently protected, often have a significant need for habitat restoration and enhancement. In addition, program partners restored and enhanced 524 acres of habitat within Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge, as part of the largest tallgrass prairie restoration projects in North America. These acres enabled MLT and Audubon to further increase the value of these respective lands for focal species by targeting priority lands prioritized by the USFWS. Using this model, Audubon Minnesota and MLT protected four properties totaling 485 acres through perpetual conservation easements and restored and enhanced 2,323 acres of habitat on permanently protected public lands and private lands protected through publicly funded conservation easements by the USFWS and MLT. Properties protected through conservation easements under this Program: Skull Lake (Peterson) – Kittson County. 80 acres The property falls within the Kittson-Roseau Aspen Parkland Important Bird Area and within the Aspen Parklands Core Area. The property protects portions of two rare wet prairie native plant communities and is within 3.5 miles of a 7,000+ acre unit of Skull Lake Wildlife Management Area and four miles of The Nature Conservancy’s Wallace C. Dayton Conservation and Wildlife Area. The property supports sharp-tailed grouse and their courtship leks. Skull Lake (Pines Land) – Kittson County. 105 acres The property lies within the Kittson-Roseau Aspen Parkland Important Bird Area and within the Aspen Parklands Core Area. The property is located within a complex of natural habitats that provide habitat for elk, moose, gray wolf and black bear. Skull Lake WMA, which is identified by MBS as being of outstanding biodiversity significance, is located less than two miles to the south of the property. Skull Lake (Paine-Smude) – Kittson County. 160 acres This spectacular property lies within the Kittson-Roseau Aspen Parkland Important Bird Area and within the Aspen Parklands Core Area. The property borders the 7,000+ acre Skull Lake Wildlife Management Area to the north and 230-acres of land owned by The Nature Conservancy to the east. The property consists of five native plant communities, some of which are considered rare or imperiled in Minnesota, including Northwestern Dry- Mesic Oak Woodland, Bur Oak- (Prairie Herb) Woodland and Dry Barrens Prairie (Northern). The property is located within a site of high biodiversity significance, as ranked by Minnesota Biological Survey. Gilchrist Lake (Mulvaney) – Pope County. 140 acres The property lies in close proximity to over 6,000 acres of existing protected lands that are located within five miles of the Property. The wetlands and lakes in this area form the heart of Minnesota’s prairie pothole ‘Duck Factory’ that is of continental significance for waterfowl reproduction. The rolling terrain found on the property con¬tains a mosaic of mesic hardwood forests, a variety of wetlands, and remnant native prairie. It also contains 4,588 acres of undeveloped shoreline on a bay of Gilchrist Lake, a popular recreational lake. A wide variety of wildlife frequents this property, including many species of migra¬tory waterfowl and Species in Greatest Conservation Need. For this Program, MLT: 1) identified, contacted and negotiated with interested landowners; 2) completed four perpetual conservation easements totaling 485 acres; 3) documented property conditions and developed habitat management plans for; 4) dedicated funds for the perpetual monitoring and enforcement of those easements; 5) managed restoration/enhancement of 1,580 acres of private lands protected through publicly funded conservation easements held by MLT and USFWS. Audubon Minnesota: 1) served as Program Manager and local point of contact; 2) assisted with landowner identification and easement site assessments; 3) managed habitat identification and prioritization on the conservation easements; 4) managed the restoration/enhancement of 743 acres of lands which are protected through publicly-funded conservation easements or in public ownership; 5) managed the restoration/enhancement of 524 acres of lands funded through MLT's appropriation through a subcontract from MLT (those acres are attributed to MLT above); and 6) enhanced an additional 48 acres on Minnesota Land Trust easements conserved under this Program which are not included in any deliverable totals since they fall within the already acquired conservation easement.

We three artists are invested in understanding personal development properties of color and its unique mix in various mediums. The objective of this will be to move into a new creative space, fundamental to growth by engaging with other artists. And these visitations will also result in better understanding the art and practice of sharing ideas and experimentation. This will transfer in my art work and quite possibly lend something new to the aesthetics of the region. Exposure of this work will involve exhibition in the 2022 Ortonville June Art Crawl and the upcoming Meander. During the project, my mentors will reference a critique guideline and communicate in person and online to provide feedback on the development of my art work. John White, local artist, current Big Stone Arts Council Board Officer, retired newspaper owner/editor as an outside reviewer will follow the project and provide a summary of its benefits. To document my experience in the project, I will maintain a journal to track progress made and provide a summarization of fulfilling my objectives of artistic and thematic development. Viewers of my exhibitions will be tallied and offered an opportunity to respond to a questionnaire about their perceptions of work exhibited.","I became (hesitantly) comfortable calling myself an artist, learned different ways to use the acrylic paint and came to believe in the therapeutic ability of the entire painting process. I learned the actual mechanics of gathering supplies and the satisfaction of making the myriad decisions to achieve a final satisfactory creation. What was most interesting to me was that many times I thought the creation was complete only to come back to amend it in some way.

This funding will leverage $12.6 million of federal WRP funds for the State of Minnesota and is expected to create and sustain 343 jobs and income to local landowners, businesses and others in the state based on USDA economic estimates. With this level of funding from Outdoor Heritage Funds (OHF) we anticipate the protection and restoration of approximately 5,800 acres of new habitat under the RIM-WRP leveraging project. Since WRP receives annual appropriations from the 2008 Federal Farm Bill, this leveraging opportunity is available for at least the next five years. ","Described as the premier private lands wetland restoration easement program in the nation, the RIM-WRP partnership combines Minnesota's RIM Reserve conservation easement program and the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Wetland Reserve Program (WRP). Combining RIM Reserve and WRP allows OHF to leverage Federal Farm bill conservation dollars to Minnesota. Utilizing both programs results in competitive payment rates to landowners and sharing of the costs associated with perpetual easement acquisition and restoration by both the federal and state programs. In 2008 BWSR and NRCS accepted nearly 300 applications during a limited three week sign-up period for RIM-WRP easements on over 33,000 acres at an estimated cost of over $75 million. The applications were scored and ranked and the top scoring highest priority 98 applications were funded for easement acquisition totaling 9,775 acres. BWSR obligated $15.6 million which leveraged $21.0 million of federal WRP funds to permanently protect and restore these 98 conservation easements. Because of this partnership, Minnesota received almost 20% of the nation's WRP funds in 2008. In spring 2009, the RIM-WRP partnership held its Phase II statewide sign-up. We received over 230 applications from landowners requesting conservation easements on over 19,000 acres at a cost of approximately $70 million. The RIM-WRP partnership scored, ranked and selected the following projects for funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund based on their ability to protect and restore wetland and native grassland wildlife habitat in priority areas in Minnesota. This opportunity was offered statewide but has a priority focus in the ecological provinces of the state that have experienced significant losses of wetland and associated prairies (see map attached). It will be delivered by local NRCS staff, local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) staff and assisted by program staff from both NRCS and the Board of Soil and Water Resources? (BWSR). In addition, Ducks Unlimited contract employees and staff provided by Minnesota Waterfowl Association assist in program delivery. Since the SWCD is responsible for the local delivery of the RIM Reserve program to private landowners on behalf of the State of Minnesota, they are ideally suited to work in concert with their local NRCS staff to efficiently and effectively deliver the RIM-WRP partnership. Once an easement is acquired NRCS is responsible for maintenance, inspection and monitoring during the life of their 30-year WRP easement.

BWSR partners with local SWCDs to carry-out oversight, monitoring and inspection of its conservation easements.Final Summary:In 2008 and 2009 RIM-WRP sign-ups occurred. 100's of applications were generated that far exceeded this appropriation.63 RIM-WRP easements were acquired on 7,276 acres. $6.3 million of RIM funds from OHF were paid directly to landowners which leveraged over $13 million of federal WRP funds. Approximately 2,423 acres of wetlands and 4,853 acres of adjacent uplands have been protected.The RIM-WRP Partnership successfully demonstrated that the State of Minnesota can cooperatively work with a federal partner (NRCS) and through a local delivery system (SWCD, NRCS, DU and MWA) to implement a permanent easement protection program that yielded thousands of acres of permanently protected wildlife habitat. This significant leverage was due to the amount of easement payments, conservation plan payments, and other costs the NRCS contributed to this partnership. The NRCS made the bulk of the easement payment portion through 30-year WRP Easement acquisition, while BWSR paid an additional portion for the Permanent RIM Easement.NRCS paid approximately 75% of the restoration costs for these easements, with RIM picking up the remaining 25%. The use of NRCS Practice Standards, along with BWSR's Native Vegetation Guidelines led to very high diversity mixes being seeded. The level of wetland restoration was dependent on restorable extent that would not impact lands outside the easement area. BWSR & NRCS evaluated restoration extent during our scoring review to ensure restoration was actually feasible, then followed up with site analysis and surveys.Several easements contained CRP contracts, where looming expiration meant a risk of losing habitat that was already in good condition. We estimate that 400 acres contained CRP contracts that were set to expire. Upon execution of the WRP Easement and RIM Easement, CRP contracts were required to be terminated.Unfortunately, $1,141,926 of the original allocation was returned and the narrative below will explain the challenges that caused this to occur. Challenges included:1. A misunderstanding occurred between BWSR and LSOHC staff related to the transferring of one OHF appropriation to a future year appropriation. BWSR was under the false assumption that at the time of the final encumbrance date of the ML 2009 appropriation that we could just roll the balance to the ML 2010 appropriation. Once it was discovered that this was not possible we were already past the encumbrance date for this appropriation and could not make any new encumbrances to utilize the balance of funds.2. The State of Minnesota converted from an old financial system (MAPS) to a new system (SWIFT) during the period that this appropriation was open. This conversion caused a mis-allocation of ML 2009 RIM-WRP funds to ML 2010 RIM-WRP. Once this issue was discovered it was again past the date to make encumbrance changes to the ML 2009 appropriation.3. After the encumbrance deadline for these funds had passed a few landowners canceled their RIM-WRP applications. We were unable to reallocate those funds to additional applications since the encumbrance deadline date had passed.As this was the first appropriation that BWSR received from the OHF many lessons have been learned.One lesson learned with this first year of OHF appropriations was that we had one easement that took an extra long amount of time to be acquired due to a number of title issues. In future appropriations we have moved problem easements to newer appropriations in order to speed up the final reporting time period and allow enough time to get the title cleared.",2009-07-01,2012-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Tim,Koehler,BWSR,"520 Lafayette Road North ","St. Paul",None,55155,"(651) 297-1894",kevin.lines@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Mahnomen, McLeod, Norman, Pennington, Pope, Rice, Steele, Swift, Swift",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/reinvest-minnesota-wetlands-reserve-program-acquisition-and-restoration,,,,

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. This easement is adjacent to a 101.2 acre MN CREP easement funded with ML2016 RIM Buffers Phase VI and less than a tenth of a mile away from a 82.3 acre MN CREP easement funded with ML2017 RIM Buffers Phase VII. These three easements total 365.4 acres of protection along Champepadan Creek. A few other MN CREP and RIM easements are within 2 miles of this area, building on to the habitat complex and corridor connectivity along Champepadan Creek.",,1970-01-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Dusty,Van,BWSR,"520 Lafayette Road North ","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-539-2573,dusty.vanthuyne@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Brown, Carver, Chippewa, Cottonwood, Freeborn, Jackson, Lac qui Parle, Le Sueur, Lyon, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mower, Nicollet, Nobles, Pipestone, Redwood, Renville, Rock, Sibley, Swift, Traverse, Waseca, Watonwan, Wilkin, Wright, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rim-buffers-wildlife-and-water-phase-vi,,,,

Working in coordination with 11 established Prairie Conservation Plan Local Technical Teams (LTTs), and local SWCDs this proposal will enroll 936 RIM acres (approximately 12 easements), focusing on Minnesota Prairie Plan identified landscapes. This proposal focus is on protecting non-crop moderate to high quality remnant prairies and associated buffer that can be improved through habitat management.","In 2021 and 2022 an additional 144,000 acres of the USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) will expire. Minnesota was once a land of 18 million acres of prairie. Today less than two percent remains. The few acres of native remnant prairie that remain were once thought of as too rocky or wet for row crops , but not anymore. If the current trajectory of grassland and prairie loss continues it will be devastating to grassland wildlife populations, including pollinator species. This proposal, working in partnership with Prairie Conservation Plan Local Technical Teams (LTTs) and local SWCD's focuses on protecting current grasslands and buffering native prairie that are within wildlife habitat complexes not covered by other conservation programs. There are programs for native prairie such as MNDNR Native Prairie Bank, Federal Native Tallgrass Prairie (NTP) and programs for cropland, but there are no programs for moderate quality prairies that have the potential for higher quality through protection and management. As Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) and LTTs review these areas for possible enrollment, they may find additional tracts that are native prairie. With this project, some native prairie may be included to square up parcels. In cases where larger tracts are identified, they will contact the DNR's Biological Survey and Native Prairie Bank staff for a more formal botanical survey of the site. The loss of native prairie and grassland habitat is arguably the greatest conservation challenge facing northwest, western and southern Minnesota. This proposal aims to protect 936 acres of prairie and grassland habitat by coordinating and accelerating the enrollment in Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) through private land easements. This level of acceleration is needed to address today's rapid loss of grassland habitat and meet the goals set forth in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan.

DU works with willing seller private landowners adjacent to WMAs that have drained wetlands and converted prairie uplands, and land on shallow lakes in need of protection. DU purchases and holds land title through it's Wetlands America Trust (WAT), DU's supporting land-holding organization, of which DU is the sole corporate member. Our goal is to help restore functioning prairie-wetland habitat complexes and complement other conservation efforts to protect intact native prairie. Our work addresses the habitat goals in Minnesota's Long-range Duck Recovery Plan, Minnesota's Prairie Conservation Plan, and the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. This work is time-sensitive because farmland adjacent to state WMAs is rarely offered for sale for conservation, and tracts are only available for a short time. DU works quickly, and has already spent much of our past OHF appropriations for land acquisition. Ducks Unlimited works closely with the Minnesota DNR Section of Wildlife and partners with Pheasants Forever, other NGO partners, and local sportsmen clubs such as Swan Lake Area Wildlife Association and local conservation leagues to restore lands.

The acquisitions and restorations proposed represents the amount of work DU can accomplish over 4-7 years, is scalable, and benefits game and non-game wildlife species alike - from mallards to monarch butterflies. Because 90% of Minnesota's prairie wetlands have been drained and 99% of prairie uplands converted in Minnesota, acquisition and restoration of prairie and small wetlands is critical - especially for breeding waterfowl in the Prairie Pothole Region of SW Minnesota where DU focuses our efforts. Furthermore, most remaining undrained wetlands here are in poor ecological condition due to massive landscape prairie conversion to cropland and wetland drainage that degrades both wetland condition and habitat function for prairie wildlife. Although many of our remaining prairie wetlands and shallow lakes are contained within state WMAs or federal Waterfowl Production Areas (WPA), these small public land patches rarely provide optimal wildlife habitat due to their fragmented shape and small size. Similarly, most prairie shallow lakes are surrounded by a thin ribbon of uplands that fail to adequately buffer them from surrounding agricultural land runoff. Therefore, acquisition and restoration of drained wetlands and cultivated cropland in close proximity to our public lands will improve and buffer our public shallow lakes and remaining wetlands, and help create functioning prairie-wetland complexes of habitat for breeding ducks and other prairie wildlife.

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.

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.

DU proposes to acquire and restore 550 acres of land containing drained wetlands and land on shallow lakes in SW Minnesota's Prairie Pothole Region for transfer into the Minnesota DNR's state WMA system. This land acquisition and restoration program focuses on restoring cropland with drained wetlands along shallow lakes and adjoining WMAs to help restore prairie wetland habitat complexes for breeding ducks and other wildlife. DNR will help seed uplands, and DU engineers will survey, design, and hire private sector contractors to restore drained wetlands.","This is Phase 11 of Ducks Unlimited's ongoing program to both Acquire and Restore wetlands and prairie on land for sale adjacent to Minnesota DNRs State Wildlife Management Areas (WMA). DU works with willing seller private landowners adjacent to WMAs that have drained wetlands and converted prairie uplands, and land on shallow lakes in need of protection. DU purchases and holds land title through it's Wetlands America Trust (WAT), DU's supporting land-holding fiduciary organization, of which DU is the sole corporate member. Our goal is to help restore functioning prairie-wetland habitat complexes and complement other conservation efforts to protect intact native prairie. Our work addresses the habitat goals in Minnesota's Long-range Duck Recovery Plan, Minnesota's Prairie Conservation Plan, and the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. This work is time-sensitive because farmland adjacent to state WMAs is rarely offered for sale for conservation, and tracts are only available for a short time. DU works quickly, and has already spent most OHF funds for land in past appropriations. DU works in close cooperation with Minnesota DNR Section of Wildlife and coordinates closely with Pheasants Forever, other NGO partners, and local sportsmen clubs such as Swan Lake Area Wildlife Association and local conservation clubs and leagues. Although approval is not requested from county boards for DU land acquisitions, DU communicates frequently with county and township officials to ensure local official awareness of our conservation work, and routinely attends county board meetings to discuss questions. The acquisitions and restorations proposed represents the amount of work DU can accomplish in three to five years, is scalable, and benefits game and non-game wildlife species alike - from mallards to monarch butterflies. Because 90% of Minnesota's prairie wetlands have been drained and 99% of prairie uplands converted in Minnesota, acquisition and restoration of prairie and small wetlands is critical - especially for breeding waterfowl in the Prairie Pothole Region of SW Minnesota where DU focuses our efforts. Furthermore, most remaining undrained wetlands here are in poor ecological condition due to massive landscape prairie conversion to cropland and wetland drainage that degrades both wetland condition and habitat function for prairie wildlife. Although many of our remaining prairie wetlands and shallow lakes are contained within state WMAs or federal Waterfowl Production Areas (WPA), these small public land patches rarely provide optimal wildlife habitat due to their fragmented shape and small size. Similarly, most prairie shallow lakes are surrounded by a thin ribbon of uplands that fail to adequately buffer them from surrounding agricultural land runoff. Therefore, acquisition and restoration of drained wetlands and cultivated cropland in close proximity to our public lands will improve and buffer our public shallow lakes and remaining wetlands, and help create functioning prairie-wetland complexes of habitat for breeding ducks and other prairie wildlife.

The secondary goal of the project is protection of public surface waters and measurable progress towards reduction of nutrient and sediment pollution to impaired watercourses. We will accomplish these goals by the implementation of 1200 new acres of cover crops, 700 new acres of residue and tillage management and 200 new acres of conservation crop rotation annually for three years. We will utilize a targeted approach for contract enrollment by ranking fields within the radius of the Browns Valley DWSMA as highest priority, fields near remaining municipal DWSMAs as second highest priority and fields harvested for silage as lowest priority for interventions. The outcomes of this project will be measurable. The number of landowners contacted, acres of land with BMPs implemented, and the calculated amount of pollution reduction will be quantified and reported. We believe the project will ultimately result in a cultural acceptance and long-term local adoption of soil health practices. We will provide cooperating agricultural producers with the tools and resources they need to sustain implementation of soil health practices beyond the life of contracts. In addition, the project will provide new adopters of soil health BMPs an opportunity to implement practices while reducing risk to family farm operations.

The intent of this effort is to complete a pilot project to a legal ditch system that is in disrepair and use it as an example to educate landowners along other legal ditches on the importance of water quality. This pilot project consists of the construction of berms and side inlet culverts for sediment control along Traverse County Ditch #17 (TCD 17) and its single branch (B1) . This modification, also known as a retrofit, will be completed as a repair under MN Statues 103E.021, Subd. 6 which will ensure these erosion control features become a permanent part of the legal ditch. TCD 17 flows west to east and outlets into Twelve Mile Creek eight miles northeast of Wheaton, MN. Twelve Mile Creek flows north to the Mustinka River which ultimately enters Lake Traverse. Twelve Mile Creek and the Mustinka River have well documented issues regarding the exceedance of TMDL for turbidity, phosphorus, and overall poor biota. TCD 17 has a watershed of approximately 4.5 square miles, the land is used primarily for agricultural production. Berms and intercept culverts along legal ditch systems help to prevent sediment transport at the source and reduce turbidity downstream. The TCD 17 retrofit is aimed to be the first of many legal ditch retrofit projects within the BdSWD . By completing this retrofit it is estimated to reduce sediment loading by 340 tons/year and phosphorus loading by 700 lbs/year while working to restore and protect water resources for public use and public health.

","Wetlands and shallow lakes provide the essential backbone for the survival of waterfowl and other important wildlife species. In fact, more than 50% of Minnesota's Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) use wetlands during their life cycle. Most of the plans developed to protect Minnesota's wildlife including Minnesota's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy, the Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan, and the Long Range Duck Recovery Plan cite the protection and restoration of the state's remaining wetlands as one of the top priorities to achieve the State's conservation goals. Moreover, these plans cite the use of conservation easements on private lands as one of the primary strategies to protect important wetland and shallow lake habitat. Minnesota Land Trust's Wetlands Habitat Protection Program area extends from Meeker County northwest to Becker County, located along a vast glacial moraine system in western Minnesota. This prairie pothole country is the core of Minnesota's duck factory and is central to one of North America's most important flyways for migratory waterfowl. Through Phase 5 of this program, the Land Trust has procured 25 conservation easements protecting 3,296 acres of habitat and 37.5 miles of shoreline.

Phase 6 will continue these accomplishments by restoring or enhancing 870 acres of important prairie and wetland habitats on private lands already protected within the Program area in partnership with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program. The Land Trust will also work with FWS and landowners to develop additional shovel ready R/E projects. In addition, the Land Trust will protect 1,213 acres of new priority wetland and associated upland habitat through conservation easements. The Program will be closely coordinated with other public agencies, non-profit organizations and other stakeholders to ensure this Program meets multi-agency conservation goals. The Land Trust will continue to implement a criteria-based ranking system and market-based approach for purchasing conservation easements.

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

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 and restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.",,"This program addresses LSOHC priorities by protecting and restoring shallow lakes, wetland/grassland complexes, and shoreland that provide critical habitat for Minnesota's wildlife, especially its migratory waterfowl and associated species. Wetlands are essential to the health and diversity of Minnesota's wildlife. This project directly benefited numerous SGCN and other important game/non-game species by minimizing the potential threats to their habitat caused by detrimental agricultural practices, residential or commercial development, or imprudent land management. Wetland habitat complexes were targeted for protection through a ranking system that prioritized projects based on three primary ecological factors: 1) quality of habitat; 2) proximity to other protected lands; and 3) size of the parcel. Five properties totaling 666 acres were protected through conservation easement under this grant, including: Pelican Lake (Pelican River Land Company) - A 165-acre property in Otter Tail County protecting maple-basswood forest, wetlands, and 11,404 feet of shoreline along Fish Lake. The easement was fully donated by the landowner. Minnesota Woman (Peterson) - A 314-acre project in Otter Tail County protecting grasslands, deciduous forest, wetlands, and 19,151 feet of shoreline along the Pelican River and two unnamed lakes. Lake Christina (Johnson) - A 40-acre property in Grant County protecting 39 acres of forest, wetlands, and 2,893 of shoreline along Pelican Lake, a sister lake to Lake Christina, the renowned historic canvasback stopover. The property is within the Lake Crhistina Prairie Core Area of the MN Prairie Plan. Pomme de Terre (Evavold) - A 73-acre property protecting rolling, forested hills, grassland, open water, and 6,699 feet of shoreline along two unnamed lakes. The property is within the Alexandria Moraine-Lake Christina Hills Corridor of the MN Prairie Plan. Rocky Mountain Lake (Rocky Mountain Sportsmen) - A 75-acre project protecting deciduous forest and 9,796 feet of shoreline along Rocky Mountain and Skanning lakes in Pope and Kandiyohi counties. The property lies within the Glacial Lake Prairie Core Area of the MN Prairie Plan. Fourteen properties totaling 954 acres of wetlands/prairie were restored or enhanced under this grant, 13 on USFWS easements and 1 on an MLT easement.","A total of 1,620 acres were affected: 493 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 666 in Easements, 461 in Enhance.",10398200,"Private landowner donation of easement value, USFWS R/E cash match and USFWS Staff In Kind",1724700,59900,,0.54,"Minnesota Land Trust","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Through its Wetland Habitat Protection and Restoration Program - Phase 3 grant, the Minnesota Land Trust protected 666 acres and restored/ enhanced 954 acres of high priority wetland habitat complexes in Minnesota's Prairie and Forest-Prairie Transition areas by securing permanent conservation easements within scientifically prioritized habitat complexes and working with partners in restoration/enhancement. The Land Trust used its market-based landowner bid model to maximize both conservation benefit and financial leverage in conservation easement project selection; over the duration of the grant, landowners donated over $10,300,000 in easement value to the program (4,619% of that proposed).","Wetlands and shallow lakes provide the essential backbone for the survival of waterfowl and other important wildlife species. In fact, more than 50% of Minnesota's Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) use wetlands during their life cycle. Most of the plans developed to protect Minnesota's wildlife - including Minnesota's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy, the Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan, and the Long Range Duck Recovery Plan - cite the protection and restoration of the state's remaining wetlands as one of the top priorities to achieve the State's conservation goals. Moreover, these plans cite the use of conservation easements on private lands as one of the primary strategies to protect important wetland and shallow lake habitat. Minnesota Land Trust's Wetlands Habitat Protection Program area extends from Meeker northwest to Becker County, located along a vast glacial moraine system at the edge of the of western Minnesota. This prairie pothole country is the core of Minnesota's ""duck factory"" and is central to one of North America's most important flyways for migratory waterfowl. Through Phases 1 and 2 of this program, the Land Trust procured 10 conservation easements protecting nearly 1,800 acres of habitat and 70,000 feet of shoreline. Phase 3 will build on these accomplishments by broadening the Program's focus to include - along with wetland protection - habitat restoration and enhancement. Through a partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, the Land Trust restored/enhanced 954 acres of important prairie and wetland habitat on private lands already protected within the Program area. In addition, the Land Trust protect 666 acres of new priority wetland and associated upland habitat through conservation easements. The Program was closely coordinated with other public agencies, non-profit organizations and other stakeholders to ensure this Program meets multi-agency conservation goals. The Land Trust implemented a criteria-based ranking system and market approach for purchasing conservation easements. The Program targeted projects that helped complete gaps in existing public ownership, were of the highest ecological value, and provided the greatest leverage to the state. The Land Trust sought donated easements in these areas whenever possible but also purchased easements that help complete key complexes. To focus our easement protection work, we used the Minnesota Prairie Plan and other data sets/plans to shape our Wetlands Program plan and identify important wetland complexes based on the intersection of high-quality habitat, existing protected areas, and restorable agricultural lands. These complexes included a mosaic of wetland, prairie/grassland, and forest habitats, and at times agricultural land. Outcomes from this project included: 1) healthy wetland habitat complexes and associated populations of waterfowl, upland birds, and SGCN; 2) improved water quality; 3) increased participation of private landowners in habitat conservation projects; and 4) enhancement of prior public investment in wetland and upland habitat protection.",,2018-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,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",,"Big Stone, Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail, Pope","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/wetland-habitat-protection-and-restoration-program-phase-3,,,,

Measuring progress on this outcome proved challenging. Informal conversations with visitors indicated some progress toward this outcome. The race boats rather than the signage initiated the majority for these conversations. Demonstrated articulation of increased understanding of the significance of wood boats and racing came in the form of probing questions from visitors seeking more information. Questions often focused on hull design, how engines operate, advancements in engineering, and the races these boats competed in. These provided insights into the selection of boats for the 2020 exhibit and topics for gallery talks. Intermediate Term: Leadership at the museum begins to properly allocate time, budget, and staff resources to exhibits. This outcome was achieved. This is demonstrated by the museum?s reorganization of financial management tools to more accurately document exhibit expenses and provide a more solid basis for funding future exhibits. The 2020 Exhibits and Education budget is $20,000. The individual hired to fill the Director of Communications and Programs position has her Master?s degree in History with an emphasis in public history and museum studies as well as several years of experience working in museums. Hiring an individual with this educational background and museum experience was a priority for the Board of Directors. The benefits of this hiring decision, along with committee growing exposure to standard museum practices, are being realized in early exhibit planning for the 2020 and subsequent seasons. Long Term: Minnesotans have a better understanding of the history and significance of wooden boats and wooden boat racing association in our history. Visitors have increased trust in our museum as a professional institution and credible source of information. Working in cooperation with the Antique Boat Museum and the Land-o-Lakes Classic Boat Club, Dixie Baby, the race boat in the exhibit on loan from the Antique Boat Museum, was displayed at the Minneapolis Boat Show in January 2020. This collaborative effort exposed hundreds of Minnesotans to the history of race boats and the engineering and technological advancements they embody and the opportunity to visit Legacy of the Lakes Museum to learn more. We anticipate this public exposure and LOLM?s collaboration Land-o-Lakes Club will increase museum attendance in the coming season and beyond. The Land-o-Lakes Boat Club is a multi-state organization that featured the Golden Age Race Boats exhibit in their publication and promoted it through social media.
