This appropriation is enabling the Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources to provide grants to local soil and water conservation districts for employment of technical staff to assist private landowners in implementing conservation programs. This effort is expected to assist with the enrollment, retention, and management of 30,000 private acres of grasslands, wetlands, and forests in federal and state conservation programs, particularly in areas expected to lose enrollments in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project accelerates the implementation of conservation programs on private lands. Numerous programs and funding sources exist or are being developed to implement conservation practices on private lands. This project provides the one on one link with landowners to identify programs and see them to completion. Accelerated staffing was accomplished by contracting with Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) who have a local connection with landowners. Experience has shown this level of service is required as programs are complex and competing land use changes are pulling in the opposite direction. Landowners have no shortage of options in managing their land. Assuring sound conservation practices that benefit water quality and wildlife habitat are part of that plan is a fundamental goal of this project. As Minnesota's agricultural landscape continues to change with even fewer grassland and wetland acres resulting from the expiration of CRP contracts it is ever more important that we slow this progression and work to retain the most critical areas with renewed contracts or easements. This project has paid to directly employ 10 full time equivalent positions within SWCD offices. In addition, this project leverages an added 9 positions funded by other sources from DNR, BWSR and SWCD's. Work affecting more than 54,000ac.was accomplished by this project, greatly exceeding the original goal of 30,000ac. This includes 10,300 acres of riparian protection, 10,000 acres of wetland restoration Projects, 23,100 acres of grassland protection, 11,900 acres of grassland management. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Data is collected on staff time spent, acres impacted and landowners contacted on a quarterly basis and is available to the project partners and participants.

This effort is expected to assist with the enrollment, retention, and management of 30,000 private acres of grasslands, wetlands, and forests in federal and state conservation programs, particularly in areas expected to lose enrollments in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project accelerates the implementation of conservation programs on private lands. Numerous programs and funding sources exist or are being developed to implement conservation practices on private lands. This project provides the one on one link with landowners to identify programs and see them to completion. Accelerated staffing was accomplished by contracting with Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) who have a local connection with landowners. Experience has shown this level of service is required as programs are complex and competing land use changes are pulling in the opposite direction. Landowners have no shortage of options in managing their land. Assuring sound conservation practices that benefit water quality and wildlife habitat are part of that plan is a fundamental goal of this project. As Minnesota's agricultural landscape continues to change with even fewer grassland and wetland acres resulting from the expiration of CRP contracts it is ever more important that we slow this progression and work to retain the most critical areas with renewed contracts or easements. This project has paid to directly employ 10 full time equivalent positions within SWCD offices. In addition, this project leverages an added 9 positions funded by other sources from DNR, BWSR and SWCD's. Work affecting more than 54,000ac.was accomplished by this project, greatly exceeding the original goal of 30,000ac. This includes 10,300 acres of riparian protection, 10,000 acres of wetland restoration Projects, 23,100 acres of grassland protection, 11,900 acres of grassland management.

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

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

Sediment plumes and deltas have formed at the inlets of pools in Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge (Agassiz Pool) and Thief Lake, an important recreational resource in Northwest Minnesota. Radioisotope soil fingerprinting indicates the severity of the sedimentation problem is within Agassiz Pool. It is estimated that 14,900 tons of sediment has been deposited in Agassiz Pool annually, since 1938. The fingerprinting analysis indicates the dominant source of this sediment is erosion of uplands and fields. This project is a collaborative partnership with USDA-NRCS to establish 50 ft. wide native grassed filter strips, grade-stabilization structures, and field windbreaks to prevent or reduce sedimentation problems. This effort will stabilize the soil, slow down water runoff, and filter the water before entering ditches and streams. The goal is to establish 16 miles of grassed filter strips, 5 miles of field windbreaks, and install 25 grade stabilization structures where needed. Targeted areas within the Thief River Watershed have been prioritized through analysis of sub-basin sediment yields generated by a Soil and Water Assessment Tool model of the watershed. The model estimates that these practices can reduce sediment loads by more than 1,500 tons/year.

It is difficult to gauge the extent of the impact our event has on the appreciation of the arts through a purely paper and pencil instrument.

The instrument will ask the respondents to evaluate each of the performers/entertainment on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (outstanding). We will also ask how many performances were attended in an effort to get a better idea of unique attendees.

To promote Jackson as a destination for an enjoyable and well managed annual festival.We look for a variety of criteria in evaluating. First and foremost is public input. All of the participating artists are also encouraged to provide us with feedback. A second criterion is the size and demographics of the audience. A third is how the event turned out financially. We continually seek feedback from all attendees throughout the weekend and in the days following the event. Much of the feedback is one on one between committee members and people they see around the community. Local business people and the sponsoring businesses are also asked what they have heard from their customers.

Also, by hiring eleven actors for the reading, each actor was able to expand their craft through training, rehearsal, and the experience of a public reading. The opportunity gave them a chance to expand their resumes. Also, the actors read in front of a director who was interested in casting for the film roles. 2) My screenplay won the McKnight Award and was part of the Emerging Narrative series in New York City. These awards, combined with the option agreement, are a strong confirmation that I have achieved the goals I established in the grant request. 2: 1. Completing the work, growing my portfolio, putting my work out into the world, all amazing achievements during this process and due to the generosity of this grant. In addition, the public reading helped others Minnesotans to engage in the work. The actors read in front of an audience of more than 40 community members. A brief Q and A after the reading gave the audience members an opportunity to ask questions of both the writer and actors. 2. A headcount was taken of audience members who attended the reading.

In working with these new materials, I needed to make a safer environment for me to work and to keep my residential home studio free from contaminants, keeping my family and neighborhood safe. 2) I evaluated this achievement by first purchasing a air filtration system that filtered out the toxic dust and gas caused by working in steel and stainless steel. This gave me the confidence to work in the confined space of my garage studio. Next, I tested many different types of materials by studying their technical specifications and making macquettes. In this process of making the macquettes, I experimented with many cutting and fabrication techniques to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each material. 2: My biggest artist business achievement was having a Minnesota State Arts Board grant behind me as a way to establish credibility with manufacturers and other businesses. With this grant, I had the right access to engage these businesses in discussions about their materials and the funds to purchase their products. I evaluated my achievement by turning around two requests for information that had been previously rejected into two full tours of the facilities and extensive interviews with the person in charge of the particular products I was researching.

I worked in collaboration with a composer for the first time, Jocelyn Hagen of Minneapolis. I brought in New York City-based dancer Patrick Corbin. We had 4 performances September 28-30, 2012 at the Southern Theater. 2) Not only was it my first time to work with a composer, it was her first time to work with a choreographer. The musicians had never so directly worked with dancers, sharing a stage and dealing with the subsequent tech rehearsals involved. It was eye opening for all concerned; to glimpse the intimate worlds of mediums that coexist in such close proximity and yet are fundamentally different. It was a quartet in terms of choreography, musical composition, dancing and music making. We all learned from one another and garnered a depth of respect in the process. The sense of camaraderie and accomplishment that each of us walked away with surpassed my expectations for the project. 2: 1. I did things like: serve as the liaison from the artists to the production team, arrange performer rehearsal schedules, arrange travel and accommodations, hire a ticketing service, book rehearsal space, create and distribute press releases, hire costumers and establish a common vision, set up fittings, set up interactions with students, lead a photo shoot, organize a preview excerpt toward audience building, set up a post-performance Q and A, set up and participate in interviews for print, podcast and radio, hire and schedule tech staff, contract with the performance venue, create and print programs and appropriately deal with all financial arrangements in terms of taxes. 2.

I took lessons on the Hardanger fiddle, seljefloyte (willow flute), and studied the Kvedar style of singing and attained a basic knowledge and performance skill level.

My chamber music compositions using the Hardanger fiddle and seljefloyte were performed at the Workshop/Performance in addition to a teaching/educational summary of my activities and what I learned. 2: 1. I studied and learned from Minnesota teachers/experts in Hardanger fiddle, seljefloyte, and Kvedar singing. They were very supportive of my project, and helpful with research resources, books and recordings. They watched and participated in the process as did the additional performing artists. The Workshop/Performance allowed the audience to hear both traditional folk music, and the chamber works I composed using Norwegian tunes and instruments, along with a description of my process. 2. The audience was extremely enthusiastic with the introduction of Norwegian folk instruments, the description of my compositional process, and the newly composed works.

In addition to participation in the mentorship, I organized a public reading for youth and families in South Minneapolis. To evaluate this achievement, my mentor and I met five separate times. During each session I took careful notes of his consultation and saved all copies of read drafts with attached comments. I used all the drafts to mark my growth as a writer. I feel great pride for my final draft and was excited and confident to read excerpts from the draft for my public reading event. To evaluate the success of the public reading, I noted how many people attended (23). At the event, my mentor, Matt Burgess, introduced me. He commented on some of my struggles and successes. Following the reading we held a brief Q and A which enabled the audience to ask questions about the process and give feedback on the writing. The Q and A was the best measurement of audience response to the work. 2: The experience of balancing my budget was a first step for me. With the money I budgeted for mentorship, I explored resources for writers, including the Loft Literary Center, I networked and interacted with other artists, including The Equilibrium poets, and I was able to learn from my mentor what steps to take in terms of incorporating myself. My mentor provided me with the foundation on which business savvy is built. In our second session Matt said to me You are a writer now. OWN IT!"" From there I was able to start taking myself seriously. I kept a journal of all my grant related activities. I kept good books, noted every penny I used, and this process gave me ideas about how much things cost and how much I need to get myself going as a business.

Wentling, who came to St Anthony from Pennsylvania in the late 1800's and was the first known person to capture a Squonk.

These included: A) a short film called “firebird / last dream” in collaboration with experimental vocalist / McKnight Composer Fellow Viv Corringham that was chosen for the Duluth Superior Film Festival (June 1, 2012) and the Flyway Film Festival (October 2012). B) The crucible triptych: “iowa 1,” “iowa 2,” and “I remember death, honey for keith haring,” which appeared at the Prøve Gallery in Duluth (August 10-24, 2012). C) The stillness triptych: “white stone / blue sky,” “graffiti angel / still bridge,” and “watches 4 sale: we were ribcages w/o watches” released online. D) various iterations using the infinite film generator that was created for the “graffiti angel” (these were called: “graffiti angel / blue,” “graffiti angel / birdland,” and “graffiti angel / night rain). E) an installation version of the cinematic work called “graffiti angel / infinity part 1” that was shown at the Ochre Ghost Gallery in Duluth (September 9-21, 2012). To evaluate the success of these achievements, at each performance, installation opening and film showing, I made time to talk with audience members. Many of these discussions continued online. People in my community are generous with their feedback and I found these one-on-one conversations to be deeply informative. I made a point of working with other artists that I respect; I was inspired and educated by their creative process. I worked with different local arts venues and benefited by their kind mentorship as I shaped the work to successfully show in their spaces. I conducted informal “show-and-tell” discussions with other artists to gather feedback for specific pieces. 2: I met with a Springboard for the Arts consultant and attended the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture annual conference in Minneapolis. I studied how dancers, visual artists and writers work with time and space. I took a field trip to New York during the Whitney Biennial and the New Museum Triennial and looked at these exhibits and others about town. The Stephen Petronio Company was at the Joyce Theater. I went to one of their performances and was quite moved by the union of sound, movement and abstract narrative. Choreography influenced my still-motion work.

Though the performers learned a lot and gained experience playing new music, the composers themselves really learned the most. There was much discussion between the composers and I about how the harpsichord works best, and what kinds of textures to use. Also, as stated later on, composers listening to the concerts became really excited about the sound possibilities of the harpsichord in their own compositions. I measured the success of this outcome by the liveliness of the discussions that I had with the composers, and the eventual resulting compositions. They were all excellent, and completely different from each other. I also measured success by the number of new composers who expressed interest in writing for the harpsichord in the future. I spoke to at least 4 composers who seemed excited and interested in doing this. 2: More Minnesotans were able to engage in or with the works of Minnesota artists through this project. Again, focusing on the composers, these 4 new works were performed 4 times in concert for this project. Many composers don't get their works performed beyond the premiere, but in addition to the premiere concert, I was able to schedule 3 more performances in collaboration with Zeitgeist (more on this below). Additionally, because of the recording, some of my colleagues will perform these works in the future. Three of the four composers are based in Minnesota, and three of the four musicians are also based in Minnesota.

In doing so, I further developed my writing technique and my range as a poet.

Therefore, the current audience is much smaller than the eventual audience for the work once it begins traveling for display.

Without intending it, I had exposed them to an unfamiliar idiom (Czech, Slovak, and Rusyn folk music) that became a learning experience for each of them on their instruments, with the added challenge of successfully melding that folk music with the American folk styles they are more familiar with. I also learned a great deal about American bluegrass, country, and Americana with the added challenge of arranging Eastern European songs in an American folk idiom. The evaluation is in the musicians' comments to me and in what I hear on the recording—a seamless confluence of styles. 2: For the first time, I self-produced both a solo album and an accompanying CD release party, both of which required tremendous planning, promotion, networking, researching, budgeting, and negotiating. Without working diligently on each of those skills, I could neither have completed the album, nor could the performance have been scheduled in time (the album was released 2 weeks before the grant period ended, with the show shortly thereafter on April 20). The most obvious achievement was in the promotion of both: I had interviews on KFAI's Womenfolk and Fubar Omniverse and on Minnesota Public Radio's Radio Heartland; I had radio play beyond those programs; I included Quick Response codes on my posters to track traffic to my site; at least 2 venues (Cesko-Slovanský Podporující Spolek Hall and Black Dog Café) promoted my work on my behalf; and I used Facebook and social media nearly every day to gain exposure.

All of these activities happened right on schedule, with performances taking place in March 2013 and recording in April 2013.

I am confident that these actions will go a long way to helping me achieve my ultimate goal of establishing myself as a major commissioner of new music for the clarinet. 2: All of the composers I commissioned are Minnesota-based. The concert program contained both the new works and also two other pieces by Minnesota composers. I performed all of these pieces in venues across the state: St Paul, Duluth, and St Cloud. Audiences were able to both hear the pieces and engage with myself and the composers, all of whom were in attendance at each performance. The concerts in Duluth and St Cloud were on university campuses, and at both places I gave talks to the students about working with composers, commissioning new works, and how to go about securing the funding for new commissions. I evaluate these achievements highly for several reasons: First, the concert attendance was high, especially for my first performance in St Paul, where I had around 60 attendees in Studio Z. This is a very respectable audience size for a concert of new music. Secondly, audience feedback was very positive due to the high quality of both the new compositions and my performances.",,5500,"Other, local or private",15500,,,,"Patrick W.

I spoke to several audience members after the event directly engaging with many people about my project.

I've made this evaluation through my own assessment, and also with the help of two writing groups I take part in here in Minneapolis. I'm fortunate to have had the input of the following local writers: Dale Gregory Anderson, Andrew Andestic, Eric Braun, Michelle Freeland, Eric Vrooman, and Robert Voedisch.

This is a great gift to give to an artist because most creative breakthroughs occur through trial and error. When an artist does not have the time to risk failure, her work will eventually become habitual. My “learning opportunities” took place while I was alone in my studio without distraction. I evaluated my achievements based on what I was able to accomplish during the grant period. Because of the State Arts Board grant, I was able to experiment with and begin to develop three distinct bodies of work. In this way the State Arts Board grant not only allowed me to complete work for my proposed exhibition, it also laid the foundation for many future artworks. While the grant period lasted for only one year, the effects of my efforts during that period will inform my work for many years to come. 2: Every time I am given the opportunity to exhibit my work it brings me into contact with new organizations, curators and arts administrators. The exhibition that I had at the Bloomington Theater and Arts Center was no exception. This opportunity brought me into contact with new people and gave me insight into the workings of a public arts organization. Working with the Bloomington Theater and Arts Center informed the way I organize my work and the time devoted to making artwork. I was able to create a cohesive exhibition geared to a new audience without sacrificing the quality of the work. The feedback I received during the exhibition supported the choices that I had to make when choosing work for the show. A public arts organization is, out of necessity, run quite differently than a commercial gallery and this experience will help me in the future as I engage with other similar organizations. This opportunity also expanded my list of contacts among art world professionals and audience members with an interest in my work.",,475,"Other, local or private",8475,,,,"Monica J.

The manuscript has moved from a series of discrete images or impressions to ten chapters, arranged chronologically, and communicated in a consistent narrative voice. My evaluation of the achievement in connected to Part B in that over the course of the year I had both agents and editors ask for the full draft of the manuscript and offer encouraging remarks about the quality of the writing, voice, concept and story. Three agents and two editors who ultimately passed on the memoir (after reading the full draft, but declining for reasons of marketability) encouraged me to resubmit to them in the future, especially if I had a novel. This suggests to me that the revision was successful. 2: Over the course of the year I submitted to 31 agents and 4 editors at small presses. 6 agents asked for the full manuscript. The memoir is still under consideration with two of those agents. Editors who asked for the full included Jeff Shotts at Graywolf, Alexis Rizzuto at Beacon, and Daniel Slager at Milkweed. In addition to these submissions I also conducted informational interviews with writers Todd Boss and Tom Fate and with Penguin editor Carolyn Carlson. I also spent a lot of time on the internet researching appropriate agents, presses, and contests. I've learned a tremendous amount about the process of submitting a manuscript.

I can say with complete confidence that I will be working with clay for the rest of my life.

(An unintended side effect is that I have begun to develop the skills to do this for others, and in the future might perform - rather than pay for - these types of professional services.) I did this by hiring professionals to do it for me and also teach me to do it myself. Additionally, working in clay offers unique opportunities to create multiples and potentially earn money through self-generated sales of one’s work. The clay/ceramic community operates on market models generally quite different from the so-called ‘fine arts’/gallery model. The clay/ceramic community expects and encourages artists to be actively involved in designed and creating work that can be sold. And not necessarily through a prestigious gallery either. Craft shows, sales-out-of-studio, and e-commerce are all considered respectable and encouraged venues.

Working together with an artist-in-residence will encourage students to see art as an integral part of their education and as well positive aspect in their community. In theory, this collaboration experience will result in a greater appreciation for the visual arts in the Becker community as a whole. This community appreciation will ignite through an opportunity to witness and enjoy the artwork with a community artwork unveiling. The public unveiling event would be an optimum time to showcase other student artwork as well- a district art show per se. A measurable outcome of this art show event would be student, parent and public attendance numbers as well as publicity articles in the local paper as well as on our district website and electronic outdoor reader board. This piece of art will be a permanent part of one of our main entrances on the school campus. Although the specific subject matter of the mosaic has yet to be decided, school colors and mascot emblems would be a well-received, community-inspired choice. Visitors to the school will feel a sense of Bulldog Pride"" as the mosaic piece will be prominently displayed.Student goal achievement will be measured based on an evaluation rubric, self-reflection and peer review. Since participation will not be included in a class grade assessment, the rubric and other evaluation tools will be for objective purposes only. Four themes will be highlighted on the rubric: 1) Collaboration, 2) Creativity, 3) Critical Thinking, and 4) Methods/Techniques. Criteria under each theme may include the following: Did the students effectively work with each other in completing the project? Do they understand the values and variations in texture, pattern and contrast? What specific artistic skills did the students take away from this project? In working as a team, what were some of the rewards and some of the challenges? How did the student add to the design process of the piece? Peer critique will also be used in evaluation (""peers"" may include students as well as administrators, community members, the Artist In Residence herself as well as the art teachers involved with the collaboration). This method can lead to refined and evaluated thoughts and can maximize artistic efforts and ideas between individuals. By interpreting othersÆ opinions and thoughts in visual form, students not only realize their own interpretations of beliefs but also of those of other cultural and historical perspectives. Critiquing through an open-ended but guided prompt encourages students to respond with originality but also gain a sense of appreciation for othersÆ work. Reflection and review on this scale can lead to an increase in self-confidence, self-discipline, motivation and persistence.""","Collaboration through art making was the most fundamental goal of this residency.

First in creating the puppets they will be making creatures from many types of material. The follow up in painting them and then actually using them in a parade experience will give the children a chance to see them come to life. The whole experience will be one that will be creative and one that they will remember. The activities that Chris has planned for this residency will lead to the children to create puppets in a creative manner. The puppets will have many facial expressions that the children can combine with other puppets to create many moods. The project is so new for the children that it will be one they will remember for years to come. The arts experience to be gained by the children will not only encourage creativeness but also give the children one of their first experiences of working together toward a common goal of creating puppets. This experience will also be unique for one of our educational partners in which the College of Saint Benedict students who work with the children will have a special learning experience. They will now have a new way to teach art lessons to their future classes. To give them this opportunity to have a hands experience in such a new learning project will be one that will impact their teaching for years to come. This experience will result in these future kindergarten teachers preparing a unit plan for their future classrooms about puppets.Since this is such a hands-on project, the vast majority of the evaluation will be done by observation. The teachers have a number of measurements that are used to make artistic goals. They will have a daily journal of what is taking place with the children. Also, we will ask Chris to keep a log of what he sees the children doing as the puppets evolve. The main assessment for the project will be done by John who is a former teacher and university dean. He will be writing the evaluation report for the project. Also, the principal and art teacher will be involved in assessing the value of the project. As described earlier it will be the daily logs of the teachers who will keep track of how the children are progressing in making the puppets. The main thing we plan to learn from this project is to see how such a unique one can take place at the kindergarten level. We are bringing a new opportunity to these young children for the first time. The teachers are excited to make this happen for the children. We plan to use the results of our evaluation in planning for a project like this in the future for our primary age children. In making this available for the first time to such a young audience at Clearview Elementary we are bringing puppetry alive for 100 children. This has not happened before and thus we are clearly meeting the goal of making art more accessible for Minnesotans. We will measure this outcome by seeing the final result at the public program when the children display their work. But also, we will see what the teachers and Chris say in their journals about the project on a daily basis.","This residency in puppetry proved to be a wonderful experience for the children.

A respect will be gained by their fellow classmates as they will see them in a new light. Instead of being quiet and shy children will come alive in expressing themselves. 5. The foundation for future oral presentations by the children will carry over for many years to come. The field of music for example is just one area when they sing they will have a new way of expressing themselves because Reader's Theater has helped them. 6. Better citizens of the state of Minnesota will be developed by this project.This project will be measured on the evaluations teachers give each child on how their oral reading is presented. Also, we will see how the core classes gain from this experience by asking the children to express in a written format how they see their experiences from this project. Another avenue will be the reading grades the children receive that will tell how what their reading level is. In introducing a new way to look at literature we will be enhancing their confidence to want to go further in their learning.

Through the grant, five Minnesota ceramic artists were able to bring their artistry and work to five communities and over 2,500 individuals around the state. Because of the interest expressed, we added a fifth site to the tour. Attendance at these sites was significant with attendees traveling some distance to take part. By using both the video presentation and the presence of a noted ceramics artist, the public was able to see the depth and breadth of the ceramics tradition in Minnesota as well as experience firsthand the work of the artist. In the returned surveys, 70% of attendees at one opening indicated that they were introduced to new artists. 74% would like to see additional ceramics exhibits at the venues used by the tour. 2. Evaluation was carried out through an evaluation/survey instrument presented at each of the gallery openings/receptions/demonstrations. Evaluations consisted of a series of eleven questions designed to gather information on from participants on their interaction with ceramic art and their perception of the event and exhibit. Participants were asked to fill out the evaluation and return. Surveys were collected and data compiled by the Anoka Ramsey Community College Research Department. 2: 1.

Additionally, the artists had an opportunity to meet with the public and share on a more personal level their vision and work. This included an exhibition, opening reception and gallery talk and demonstrations in each of the locations. The tour broadened the understanding of ceramics artistry and exposed a greater part of the state to this tradition. 62% of attendees responding to surveys from three of the openings stated that the information at the workshop was completely new to them. 2.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts.","ArtStart's ArtLife project achieved two outcomes in this area: 1.) to increase opportunities for underserved adults with disabilities to communicate feelings and ideas through art making experiences: and 2.) to increase the knowledge and skills of ArtStart's visual artists in working with special needs populations. These outcomes were monitored and evaluated through informal observations, a reflection journal kept by artists, pre and post surveys given to staff and artists, as well as planning with Lifeworks staff after each eight week session to refine the next set of classes based on feedback. Note we changed the name of the project to ArtLife. ArtStart selected Lifeworks because they came to us initially to develop an 8-week visual arts program inspired by nature for a group of eight adults with developmental disabilities. The model worked very well and both organizations wanted to deepen the relationship to reach other Lifework adults, hence, the ArtLife project. Some activities and art media worked better than others, as participants had such a wide range of abilities and interests. The key to success for artists was the ability to individualize instruction, be flexible and come prepared with one than one idea or medium. It was made very clear by Lifeworks staff that an artist could not miss a session, as maintaining routine and relationship were essential to the well-being of participants. The most challenging aspect of the entire program was the lack of an adequate art facility at two sites. 2: ArtStart's ArtLife project achieved one outcome in this area which was to celebrate and share each participant's unique artistic expression within the Lifeworks family and the greater community. This outcome was evaluated primarily through observation and documentation of participant art exhibited at each site. In addition, ArtLife participants' art work will be showcased at Lifework's annual gala in late April 2013, which is attended each year by 1,000 participants, families, and funders. We were able to reach an additional 550 adults with developmental disabilities through this program model, as well as 1,000 community members who have/will view the art work produced as a result of this program. The program was developed by the executive director in collaboration with Lifeworks administration. The model rotated a group of 8-12 individuals working with an artist team through an 8-week program that met two times per week. Midstream we changed the model to add two more sites and split up the artists who were initially working in teams. Artists felt comfortable working on their own with the support of Lifeworks staff. This adjustment to the program model helped participants bond with a single artist and provided artists with more ownership of their art program at each site.",,8000,"Other, local or private",72830,8634,"Barara Fleig, Janice Hamilton, Lois Eliason, Rob McParland, and James Terrell",,ArtStart,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Access",,"Partnering with Lifeworks, ArtStart artists will engage adults with developmental disabilities in a multifaceted visual arts program.",2012-03-05,2013-03-04,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Carol,Sirrine,ArtStart,"1459 St Clair Ave","St Paul",MN,55105-2338,"(651) 698-2787 ",carol@artstart.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Dakota, Hennepin",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-access-134,"Charlene Akers: Executive director, Stearns History Museum.; Katherine Dodge: Executive director, Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program.; Joanna Kohler: Owner, Kohler Productions.

The outcome achieved was to expand instructional strategies/learning experiences for educators/students that integrate poetry and visual arts with life sciences. Data gathered through 1) pre-planning meetings with artists and teachers at each school; 2) midpoint reflection meetings to determine changes and/or improvement to the project; and, 3) student interviews, as well as artists and teacher final reflection meetings in which student work was examined and the impact of the project on instructional practice discussed/documented was used to measure achievement of this outcome. In addition, a final survey was administered to all artists, teachers, and other project participants to determine the overall impact of the project on instruction and learning. 2: The second outcome was to deepen each participant's understanding of the relationship between arts, culture, and the environment. With the addition of a workshop by Gwen Westerman, Dakota artist and poet, these three concepts were beautifully brought together. She conducted a half day workshop during the staff development component and also spoke to all 10th grade Edina High School students during the residency on the Dakota Conflict and the importance of the confluence to the Dakota People. Educators, artists, and naturalists at Fort Snelling gained a new appreciation for the significance of place to a culture. School board members in Edina and other teaching staff also gained a similar appreciation of arts integration at the secondary level to inspire and inform the cultural/historical significance of place.

The 2012 program exceeded our goals by serving over 1,100 youth from 14 organizations including community resource centers (Neighborhood House, Transition Plus, Northfield Healthy Communities Initiatives) school-based programs (District 196 Young Scholars, Rahn Elementary Arts and Technology Magnet, HeadStart) homeless shelters (Cornerstone, Lewis House) and programs for new immigrants, English as a Second Language students, and foster families.

Our targeted group for the project was low-income and at-risk youths in Dakota County and the south metro who are in supervised activities with limited enrichment programs and field trips due to the lack of funding. This group was selected based on conversations with youth program providers about their barriers to attending arts programming at Caponi Art Park, and stems from our strategic goal of increasing community outreach and expanding youth programming. Relationships were built by identifying and connecting with organizations that serve the targeted population in Dakota County. 2: Organizations that serve our target population were able to bring over 1,100 underserved youth to the park who have had limited access to arts programming. Without Creative Adventures' financial support, these 14 groups would not have been able to engage in quality arts programming. Organizations that serve our target population face real financial and transportation barriers in scheduling trips to Caponi Art Park and participating in the activities. Perceived barriers included perceptions that art is not designed for children. Our existing partners and others that serve our target population expressed their desire to engage more deeply with the Art Park, but were prevented by these barriers. The strategies designed to address these barriers included providing arts programming free of charge and up to $250 per organization for transportation costs to organizations serving our targeted population.

We evaluated our outcomes by recording attendance at all events and by partnering with Wilder Research to administer post-show surveys to measure the degree to which participants felt welcome and their likelihood to return to Children's Theatre Company. 100% of survey respondents said they would return to Children's Theatre Company. 2: Our target group was Latino families in the Twin Cities area. While the Latino population of the Twin Cities is rapidly growing, Latino families continue to be underrepresented at Children's Theatre Company public performances and in our Theatre Arts Training classes.

Building relationships with members of the Latino community through our events and the work of our Cultural Liaisons also led us to develop additional activities as a result of this grant, including the Theatre Arts Training open house, a Spanish-language phone line, a Spanish-language section of our website, and new translations of production and education materials.",,,,59608,8404,"Lynn Abbott, Tony Abena, Stefanie Adams, Mary Beattie, Ellen Bendel-Stenzel, Michael Blum, Renee Burke, Morgan Burns, Barbara Burwell, Jim Carlson, Peter Carter, Y.

The sign in sheets also helped us evaluate how often the studio gets used during the week when the teaching artists and mentors were not there. 2: We provided art learning classes in Gonvick (Clearwater County) with a minimal fee to help eliminate the barrier of accessibility due to distance and finances. Arts learners attended the classes and studios from our tri-county area (Clearwater, Polk and Beltrami). Classes were provided locally so art learners didn’t have to travel more than 50 miles to a larger town to access art classes because there aren’t any other Art Studios in our area that we know of. Arts learners believe our fees are affordable. Clear Waters Life Center evaluated the degree to which arts learning opportunities are more accessible to Minnesotans by identifying and overcoming the barriers of accessibility due to distance and finances during our first planning team meeting when we set the fees.

15420,"Arts Access",2012,38840,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Arts organizations build relationships with members of, or organizations that serve, groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization. Real or perceived barriers to participation are identified and addressed. More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. We talked to both the youth and the elders about their experience, and they unanimously said they learned a lot about art and about each other and loved every minute of working together.","We worked with teenagers and older adults--together. Older teens have fewer options than younger children, especially during the summer, for participating in the arts. And once older adults' mobility is limited, their art-making opportunities can be severely restricted. During the six-week program, participants learned to create mosaics. Participants made individual mosaics (on items such as picture frames and vases, and as stand-alone panels) and the youth and some older adults completed a stunning group project which will be permanently displayed at Lyngblomsten, where the older adults live. While COMPAS built relationships with the participants, the strongest relationships were built between the youth and the elders. Ten youth (15 to 20 years old) and approximately twenty older adults worked with a COMPAS artist and assistant artist for six weeks. The teens were part of our summer youth employment program. We see a need for teaching up-and-coming artists how to use their talents to make a living, providing older adults opportunities to create meaningful art, and bringing different groups together around making art to start conversations and to spark new ideas and creativity. Making mosaics was a good match. Older adults could start and stop as their energy allowed. It allowed individual creativity and group activity. It provided an easy backdrop for conversation. It could be done by beginners and more advanced artists. Relationships started with getting-to-know-you activities but really grew while people chatted and exchanged stories as they made art. Relationships with the youth were strengthened as we brought in people to work on employment skills and think through career options. 2: By bringing the work site to the older adults' residence, and creating an easy-to-navigate work site layout, we removed many barriers. The work space was set up in a large tent on the grounds of Lyngblomsten so the elders could easily get to the work space. Tables were set up at a height that worked with wheelchairs, and aides brought the elders to and from the tent. One unexpected outcome was how much the teens helped the elders. When an elder didn't have the hand strength to cut a tile for their mosaic, there was always a youth nearby to help. Youth also brought supplies within easy reach of the elders. The work site was also easy for the youth to get to by either bike or bus. One of our favorite sights from the summer was the combination of bike handles and wheelchair handles that populated the work tent. We originally thought Lyngblomsten aides would need to help the elders with more of the project, but in very little time the youth apprentice artists took over helping the elders. This was without asking them, and they all reported that working with the elders was one of the things they enjoyed about the program. Having the work site on Lyngblomsten's grounds worked well to eliminate barriers, perhaps most importantly the barrier of fear. The elders were willing to give it a try because they knew they could easily leave if they did not enjoy it or if they got tired. The familiar location encouraged many of them to try the art form. We even had a few participants who re-engaged in other art forms, such as painting, to create something to put inside a picture frame they had made into a mosaic.",,237,"Other, local or private",39077,8952,"Cheryl Bock, Alan Ruvelson, Mimi Stake, Yvette Trotman, Nasir Raja, Louis Porter, Patricia Rossez, Robert Erickson, Sahar Erickson, Pamela Johnson, Diane Kuhlmann, Therace Risch, Susan Rotilie, Michelle Silverman, Roderic Southall, Irene Suddard.",,"COMPAS, Inc.

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. Each presenting partner helped advertise the performance in their specific community and was consulted on whether or not they felt a pre-concert talk would benefit their audience.

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

Arts learning opportunities are more accessible to Minnesota because barriers to participation have been identified and mitigated. More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities.","This arts integration project succeeded in increasing the quality, quantity and types of arts learning opportunities in Central Minnesota classrooms and increased the number of fourth grade student participants in theater arts. For many students this was there first time acting in front of an audience. Our methods included the number of students participating (through daily attendance) and a count of audience members at the performance; we also utilized a consulting company to create a program matrix and conduct pre-surveys, post-surveys and principal interviews. Two focus groups of students were also conducted. In order to deliver sequential, in-depth theatre arts lessons, the teaching artist spent one hour per day four days per week over a three week period in each classroom with the arts learners. The artist also had a four-hour pre-planning meeting and a four-hour evaluation session, as well as two-hour weekly consultation discussions, with each teacher (individually and in groups). The most effective strategy is utilizing our history of successful collaborations with the school district, teachers and administrators. Building upon this successful 15 year history allowed this program to be conducted during the school day; we are the only local arts group allowed this opportunity. As teaching to the test"" is a large part of current daily work-- allowing a three-week residency into the schedule is an obstacle for many educators. The value and results of this arts residency proved the time was well spent and great learning was happening in the arts for fourth graders. 2: The barrier of cost was identified and eliminated as there was no cost to the participants. Transportation was eliminated as the teaching artist provided the arts learning at the student's school. The teaching artist helped students and teachers gain an appreciation of the arts by creating fun and engaging activities that promote arts learning and self confidence. We utilized a consulting company to create a program matrix and conduct pre-surveys, post-surveys and principal interviews. Two focus groups were also conducted with fourth grade students. The barrier of cost was identified as three of the seven participating schools have student populations with 50% or greater qualifying for free or reduced-priced meals.

Real or perceived barriers to participation are identified and addressed. More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts.","Kulture Klub Collaborative is proud to report on a successful long-term residency with Works Progress that resulted in achieving this outcome. One of the best examples of this outcome was the ongoing conversation between Works Progress, Kulture Klub Collaborative staff, and the Kulture Klub Collaborative Youth Advisory Council. Through this collaboration, professional artists were able to hear directly from homeless youth and vice versa. Members of the Youth Advisory Council and other core participants built relationships over consistent and nearly year-long interactions with Work Progress and their surrounding community. Outside of the core group, Kulture Klub Collaborative did not see a consistency in terms of relationship-building for Works Progress artists, but the program did foster relationships for Kulture Klub Collaborative staff and other homeless youth. The success of these relationships was based on metrics from surveys and conversations with participating youth. The targeted community was youth experiencing homelessness at the Youth Opportunity Center. This is a community that has a long connection to Kulture Klub Collaborative. Homeless youth experience numerous real and perceived barriers to participating in the arts and generally have very few opportunities to engage with artists. Artists like Works Progress who are interested in connecting with this community have many challenges to connecting with this community. In designing the program, Works Progress met with Kulture Klub Collaborative youth to identify themes and curiosities of the potential participants. “We spent a lot of time at the beginning of the project on activities that were designed to help us get to know Kulture Klub Collaborative staff and young people, and tried to let those relationships shape the project. It was great having Sue Pohl and Jeff Hnilicka so involved in the project and planning. Their knowledge of the community of young people we were working with, and their knowledge and experience with youth advocacy work were essential.” 2: Kulture Klub Collaborative was very successful in addressing barriers. From transportation to negotiating child care to trauma, Kulture Klub Collaborative worked diligently to mitigate youth barriers. For example, by having young parents on our Youth Opportunity Center, we were able to have our community directly shape how we addressed barriers. One metric for evaluation of addressing barriers was how many youth accessed support; i.e. bus tokens or child care stipends. To measure qualitative value of our ability to address barriers, Kulture Klub Collaborative did survey evaluations and ongoing conversations. One of the barriers this population faces (and that many young people face regardless of housing status and other economic barriers) is feeling like they are not good at art"" or that art activities are not for them. One of our strategies to address this was to create activities that responded to and built upon the young peoples' interests - for example, their love of particular music or dance forms and genres. We tried to meet them where they are in that interest in the arts, and then looked for ways to build on that interest by providing opportunities for them to try their hand at creating something - without all the pressure of that ""something"" having to be capital ""A"" art. One example of this is the collaborative poetry activity. Rather than asking youth to write poems of their own, we found a way for them to journal their stream of consciousness thoughts and to use that language as the building blocks for new collaborative poems.""",,1540,"Other, local or private",56540,4985,,,"Kulture Klub Collaborative","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Access",,"Kulture Klub Collaborative will invite the artist and design collective, Works Progress, to activate our gallery space during a ten-month residency, to engage youth experiencing homelessness.",2012-04-01,2013-02-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jeff,Hnilicka,"Kulture Klub Collaborative","41 N 12th St",Minneapolis,MN,55403-1325,"(612) 252-1248 ",jeff@kultureklub.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-access-143,"Charlene Akers: Executive director, Stearns History Museum.; Katherine Dodge: Executive director, Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program.; Joanna Kohler: Owner, Kohler Productions.

More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities.","Kulture Klub Collaborative is proud to report that all of our outcomes were achieved. The quantity of arts learning experiences increased through this project without doubt. Seitu Jones offered weekly programs during the fall to create arts learning opportunities for youth experiencing homelessness. Seitu is a nationally recognized artist and educator. For almost all of these young people, they have little to no arts learning experiences within their grasp. Quantitatively, we marked the total number of attendees and frequency. Qualitatively, we were able to mark this with anecdotal responses from young people. The strategy that Kulture Klub Collaborative used to increase learning is consistent programming, rooted in relationship building. By having Seitu, his assistant Adjoa, and Kulture Klub Collaborative staff at every program, there was a regular invitation to homeless youth to participate in the project. In addition to the quantity of arts learning increasing, this program also increased the types of arts learning. Working with Seitu is a hands-on experience, crossing a variety of media - installation, public art, sculpture, painting, and drawing. This was truly a unique learning environment for these young people. 2: There are numerous barriers that homeless youth need addressed. Kulture Klub Collaborative provided bus tokens and vehicle transportation, child care stipends, child-friendly activities, and youth-to-youth outreach. Meals were provided at every activity and core participants received stipends. Success for these strategies was marked quantitatively by how many youth utilized the supports and qualitatively by anecdotal responses in surveys and Youth Advisory Council feedback. The Youth Advisory Council and Licensed Clinical Social Worker's Sue Pohl led the charge of identifying barriers. For Kulture Klub Collaborative youth, there are a myriad of real and perceived barriers - everything from transportation to child care, from not being an artist"" to trying to prioritize artmaking in a busy schedule. Also, for this project, some youth had a barrier of not knowing anything about ""public art"" or the modes that Seitu works in as an artist. As a team, Kulture Klub Collaborative youth, staff, and artists developed ways to address barriers. Some were simple solutions like bus tokens, stipends, and child-care support. Other times, the barriers were addressed with a more relationship-based strategy. Youth got to know Seitu over shared meals and conversations to learn about his artwork. Youth would also build relationships with Kulture Klub Collaborative staff to address mental health, chemical health, or other housing crises. These strategies worked very well, as the staff and artist team had extensive arts learning experience.""",,19,"Other, local or private",22019,3000,,,"Kulture Klub Collaborative","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Kulture Klub Collaborative will work with teaching artist Seitu Jones to develop installation artwork with a community of young people experiencing homelessness.",2012-09-01,2013-01-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jeff,Hnilicka,"Kulture Klub Collaborative","41 N 12th St",Minneapolis,MN,55403-1325,"(612) 252-1248 ",jeff@kultureklub.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-220,"Mary Baier: Educator and administrator, Minnesota Public Schools.

Staff workshop was well attended and residency was reinforced by staff input. Students had hands-on"" work with Dakota artist Fern Cloud, as well as language specialist Teresa Peterson. The field trips to Lower Sioux and Walnut Grove also exposed the students to Dakota history and culture as well as early pioneer life. Students actually made butter and corn bread and had the opportunity to write about what they experienced. They made dolls using the materials used by early pioneers. The days spent with poet, Florence Dacey helped them learn how to write poetry using the skills she taught them. She also taught them how to revise and present their work. 2: Students gained both an understanding of the written word and an appreciation for the culture of the Dakota. This was evaluated by student work, teacher evaluation of student improvement and parent input. Students were given pre and post surveys and these were compared. Students shared their knowledge and understanding in class discussions as well as at the public event. Dakota hide paintings and other art work was displayed complete with artist's statements. Students shared their understanding while hosting the lunch following the art show/ poetry reading. Public was impressed with the depth of understand and composure that the students displayed. We did not anticipate any barriers to this project. Our school is completely accessible and we held our public reading in a very accessible auditorium. We considered that the parent of one student has advanced ALS (Lou Gehrig’s) and needed a large area for her motorized wheelchair. She was able to attend and enjoyed her son's poem.

Traditional classical music concerts are too long for young children, and the format is not conducive to quality time between parents and children, and 3. Traditional concert format produces anxiety in parents about how their child/ren will behave. We addressed these barriers by making concerts free for children and students, making concerts one hour long and creating an environment that is child-friendly (tables set up with coloring activities, snacks provided, doors left open with easy access to hallway and bathrooms), and by programming movements of classical music rather than complete works. We announced at every concert that it is okay for children to make some noise, dance, move around, exclaim at exciting moments, etc. We evaluated if this worked by speaking and handing out surveys to willing parents and children after concerts while they looked more closely at instruments and met musicians. 2: Because of Lyra's Family Concerts and Lyra Youth baroque orchestra, families were able to attend classical music concerts at a very low price, and participate in a very high quality arts experience.

Arts learning opportunities are more accessible to Minnesota because barriers to participation have been identified and mitigated. More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities.","We provided three 30-hour mural-making workshops to youth in three communities in northern Minnesota. We achieved this goal by successfully carrying out the project, as the workshops were a unique opportunity that youth would not otherwise have encountered. The opportunity to work closely with a professional artist and dedicate a significant amount of time to a project of this scale was something that the participants had never experienced before. We conducted initial and final surveys to learn more about each learner's art experience and interests. The response to our final survey about the mural project was overwhelmingly positive -- many expressed surprise at how much they were able to learn and accomplish. Indeed, the community continues to comment on the quality and skill displayed in the murals and is impressed to learn that they were designed and completed by youth. We connected with potential partner organizations to offer our arts learning project through a collaborative organization called Itasca Networks for Youth. This helped us most effectively reach the staff of organizations that we would need to work with to carry out the project. The one challenge we encountered was the turnover in a staff position at one organization that resulted in our previous groundwork being lost and the need to start from scratch with a new staff member to carry out the project. Overall, however, the networking that the collaborative group facilitated was highly valuable and we continue to find benefits to membership in this group. Future efforts to provide arts learning opportunities to youth in the Itasca County area will be enhanced by the partnerships formed by Itasca Networks for Youth. 2: We provided a high quality arts learning project to youth in three communities in northern Minnesota that would not otherwise have the opportunity to engage in a project of this scope and scale. In our initial surveys of the participating youth, we asked about previous experience with the arts including classes in a school setting and any out-of-school classes. Most youth had taken at least one art class in either 7th or 8th grade, but that was most often the extent of their arts learning experience. Few youth had participated in any arts learning outside the classroom setting although all youth taking part in the workshops expressed a desire to learn more about art and expressed satisfaction in the learning they were able to accomplish through the mural project. There are many barriers to rural youth participating in arts activities. Cost is a barrier to many, and transportation is a significant issue for most youth in our geographically large county. In planning the project with our organizational partners, we identified these as the two major barriers to participation and determined that holding the workshops at no cost and in local facilities in each community was the best way to mitigate these barriers. One workshop was held at MacRostie Art Center, which is located in downtown Grand Rapids. To provide the other workshops we worked with the Bovey Coleraine Youth Center for youth in the eastern part of our region and the Leech Lake Boys and Girls Club of Deer River for youth in the western part of our region. Both of these organizations already offered summer programming to youth so we had a built in audience for recruitment, and youth felt familiar with both the facilities and the staff people present.",,2935,"Other, local or private",19935,2700,"Michelle Carlson, Charles Driscoll, Carmen Haugen, Charles Kampen, Amanda Lamppa, Meghan Lougee, Mary Metzger, Shirley Miller, Margaret Morris, Bill Rutherford, Katherine Sedore, Katie Tierney",,"MacRostie Art Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"MacRostie Art Center will connect professional artists to teens in rural communities, to design and create a series of public murals.",2012-04-01,2012-12-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Katie,Marshall,"MacRostie Art Center","405 1st Ave NW PO Box 365","Grand Rapids",MN,55744-2617,"(218) 326-2697 ",katie@macrostieartcenter.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Itasca,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-225,"Mary Baier: Educator and administrator, Minnesota Public Schools.

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. Dr. Patricia Shifferd created surveys, for concertgoers and musicians, to measure the impact of the project. Musicians commented positively on the touring experience. Audiences were very appreciative, In New Ulm and Blue Earth, many people invited the Orchestra to come back in the future. The number of people who attended in Morton was low, but attendees were appreciative. One of the individuals who attended in Morton also came to the New Ulm performance to hear the concert again. Ninety-six percent of survey respondents said they were very likely or likely to attend a future Mankato Symphony Orchestra performance in their community if the opportunity arose again.","This is the second time in recent history that our orchestra has travelled to other locations and the first time that we have been the initiators. The Mankato Symphony Orchestra presented three orchestra concerts in Morton, New Ulm, and Blue Earth, all rural communities that do not have many opportunities to hear live classical music. The concerts were approximately ninety minutes long and included a post-concert question and answer/discussion session. This provided new opportunities to our musicians, who ordinarily perform only in Mankato. One musician response to the value of touring was, “Our performances improved greatly over the couple weeks [that the tour lasted]. It also helped the orchestra become more malleable as an ensemble. We had the opportunity to try things and do things differently for different performances. The repertoire choices were great to play and fit the performance opportunities well.” People who attended the performances were further engaged in a post-concert session where they could ask questions of our music director, flute soloist, and a retired music professor who is a violinist in the orchestra and the author of our program notes. The notes provided basic information about each piece, so the post-concert sessions allowed people to ask all kinds of questions and gain additional information. Orchestral performances are often one-way presentations; the discussion allowed audience members to get to know some of the performers and learn more about the pieces, instruments, and roles. 2: Executive Director Sara Buechmann chose the locations based on feasibility, receptivity, and perceived need. Time and budget constraints prevented us from travelling farther or offering more than three tour performances. Morton offered to host a concert when we were seeking venues for the Dakota Music Tour in 2010. Because it was in the same vicinity as the Upper and Lower Sioux Reservations we visited previously, and because of the Native American music programmed as part of the tour, we hoped to attract some of the same audience. New Ulm was chosen because it is a community that is near Mankato, yet seems disproportionately underserved by the Orchestra. Although several of our musicians come from New Ulm, we do not see a corresponding portion of our audience come from that region. The New Ulm performance was an attempt to reach out to that community. Blue Earth, a rural community with a thriving concert series, had approached us in the past.

More importantly, however, as a center of education, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum and Riverway Learning Community's goals of facilitating learning through visual art was impacted positively. 2) Through frequent meetings, data received from the teachers, program leaders, docents, and parent learners indicated that this program has had a positive impact on Riverway Learning Community students. The Minnesota Marine Art Museum's Curator of Education took notes at these meetings, and we learned some things that will enhance similar future projects including involving teachers in planning processes, including student choice and alone time"" with artworks, and the value of utilizing teaching artists and quality materials. 2: 1) The Minnesota Marine Art Museum achieved greater accessibility, and met its educational mission in a more robust way. Riverway Learning Community met its goals of connecting students with substantial works of art, artists, and resources in their community. These were gained through the program itself, free tickets provided to families of participants, Parent Learner programs at free community events, and exhibitions at the Museum and various other locations. 2) Like all of its evaluation, progress towards its access goals are measured qualitatively and quantitatively.

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

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

Real or perceived barriers to participation are identified and addressed. To evaluate these outcomes, we used informal head counts at each performance, written audience surveys, and personal conversations and communications with partner organizations. These conversations continue through the autumn months as we evaluate the success of this program and how to keep Free Concerts for Seniors viable and attractive to these groups.","The Minnesota Pops Orchestra expanded Free Concerts for Seniors to a new venue in St Paul, Cerenity/Humboldt, and began developing new partnerships with Cerenity and organizations serving the surrounding neighborhood. We also experienced a significant increase in attendance at two of our four Nicollet Island performances, indicating that our mission of serving low-income seniors with disabilities is being met through partnerships with many organizations that serve this population. Free Concerts for Seniors serves low-income seniors with disabilities. This community was selected because the Minnesota Pops Orchestra has a long-standing connection and commitment to these seniors. We have built relationships with many senior activity centers that serve disabled seniors, and each year they ask for more performances. We began offering this series in 1984, and it has expanded as the number of interested seniors has grown. Free Concerts for Seniors is an excellent match for this group, judging from the full houses at every performance at Nicollet Island, high attendance at other venues, enthusiastic applause, and positive comments on surveys as well as at performances. Strategies for relationship-building included e-mail invitations, close contact with Cerenity staff, and responsiveness to feedback from seniors. 2: All six performances were held as planned, and a total of about 2,800 seniors attended. Personal observation indicated the attendance of many with disabilities using walkers or other mobility devices. Attendance was estimated by taking counts at each performance, and transportation barriers were addressed with rental buses and transportation provided by senior activity centers. Three primary barriers to participation were identified: economic, transportation, and physical access. These barriers were identified by the seniors, their group leaders, and organization partners. Strategies have been developed and refined over the years to address them. All performances are free of charge. Four rental buses provided transportation to Nicollet Island, in addition to many buses and vans provided by individual care facilities. Park police assisted with drop-off and pick-up at Nicollet Island. At Elliot Park and Cerenity, performances were held near (or at) the facilities, so audience members could walk, wheelchair, or listen from their rooms or porch. Concerts were held at accessible spaces, and many seniors used wheelchairs and walkers. Volunteers also helped many seniors to their places.

This outcome was evaluated by observing and documenting the events performed by the Minnesota Orchestra and small ensembles of Minnesota Orchestra musicians in Willmar.","The Willmar Common Chords project is a continuation of the multi-year Minnesota Orchestra Common Chords program. This initiative is connecting the Minnesota Orchestra with Greater Minnesota communities for an in-depth planning process culminating in a week of community musical events. Over a week in Willmar, the Minnesota Orchestra had the opportunity to perform three concerts and additional community events that engaged more than 3,000 people with the arts. The artist was the Minnesota Orchestra and several smaller ensembles made up of Orchestra members. Willmar was selected to be one of the initial Common Chords communities based on the community's response to an initial planning inquiry, interest in planning a major event with the Minnesota Orchestra, and the breadth and diversity of their planning team. All activities were free, except for the two evening concert performances, which had a $5 ticket price. The programs and locations were designed to be inclusive of a wide segment of the community. 2: The eighteen-member Willmar Steering Committee consisted of leaders in the arts, school district, local business, and government sectors; and many community volunteers. This broad representation connected the project to many existing groups and events, many of which are not typical presenters of touring arts events. Nearly thirty events throughout the week took place in traditional venues, such as the Willmar Arts and Education Center auditorium, and also in less traditional venues, including the Rice Hospital Garden Court, Becker Farmer’s Market, and the VFW.

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

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. Surveys are provided to hosts and audience members in order to provide communities with the opportunity to evaluate their experiences.",,11818,"Other, local or private",56853,15144,"Ron McKinley, Tabitha Montgomery, Eric Hyde, Molly Bott, Warren Bowles, Deb Bryan, Yolanda Cotterall, Sheila Gore Dennis, Shalini Gupta, K David Hirschey, David Ginter, Nancy Koo, Robert Lunning, Susan P.

The community liaison met with leaders and community members of various community, religious, and arts organizations to begin discussing the important cultural issues for those groups. Those meetings led to community dialogs held to engage people in discussions around arts, culture, access, and barriers to arts participation. Each dialog was rooted in art, beginning with a reading or a performance, and with a diversity of panelists sharing their perspectives on the dialog themes. Dialog discussions were recorded and participants were surveyed as to the relevance of the experience. Survey responses helped shape the subsequent discussions and other community events. Writing workshop participants were surveyed to learn their impressions, experiences, and outcomes. 2: The barrier of cost was addressed in that the events supported by this Access grant were free with a suggested donation. For families with young children, Mizna held an Arabic Story Hour and did a book giveaway. Participants received a book and CD set from a Jordanian publisher of classic Arabic children's songs, beautifully illustrated. The barrier of geography was addressed by holding dialogs, writing workshops, and other events in central locations for the communities, including familiar spaces like library community rooms. All events included modest food and drink for participants free of charge. Also, for people who may have had the perceived barrier that the arts is not for them,"" this program has had an long-lasting result of engaging a number of people who have now returned for various Mizna Access events, and have submitted writing to our literary journal.

The musical performances included many genres including: bluegrass, and British Isles folk music, flash mob dance experience. For nearly all who participated, this was their first flash mob experience. This grant gave us an opportunity to connect with the fair boards, Boys and Girls Club and 4 H, broadening our reach and helping build partnerships for the future. 2) To evaluate we used printed surveys, verbal feedback and for the musical performances a series of questions asked by the performers with hands raised for responses. We were very interested in learning if participants felt the fair was a good venue for arts learning and 93% of the responders said yes. 2: 1. All the organizations involved have asked us to return next year if possible and are anxious to make access to the arts an even higher priority at the 2013 fairs. The arts learners overwhelmingly responded the fair was a good venue for new arts experiences and the fair boards were delighted with the events added to positively expand the fair experience for attendees and add something new to attract more audience. The perceived barrier that arts are not inclusive was overcome with the informal surroundings and all participants responded positively to their experience. 77% of participants responded this was their first experience with a new artform. 2) We used written surveys at the end of each arts learning event to determine acceptance of the art form taught and whether it was a first time experience and if the new skills learned would be used in the future. 95% of the Boys and Girls Club participants responded a 1(being best) and two on a scale of four on how they rated the activity.",,,,22320,1800,"Trisha McCarthy, Elisa Korentayer, Bill Warner, Manley Nichols, John Husband, Amy Sobieski, Vicki Chepulis, Alice Martin, Patrick Kilby, Jerry Mevissen, Nathan Welte, Tammy Olson, Dorothy Eskili, Peder Butenhoff.",0.1,"New York Mills Arts Retreat AKA New York Mills Regional Cultural Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Access",,"New York Mills Regional Cultural Center will provide free and accessible performing arts and arts learning projects to 3,000 low-income residents of rural Minnesota, through the East Otter Tail County Fair and the Wadena County Fair, in July of 2012.",2012-03-05,2012-10-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jamie,Robertson,"New York Mills Arts Retreat AKA New York Mills Regional Cultural Center","24 Main Ave N PO Box 246","New York Mills",MN,56567,"(218) 385-3339 ",jamie@kulcher.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Otter Tail, Wadena",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-access-153,"Abner Arauza: Interim assistant director of intercultural affairs, Concordia College, Moorhead.

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. We evaluated the number of productions, the inclusion of Minnesota artists in our programs, and audience numbers.","The Northern Lights Music Festival toured both chamber music and opera productions to Duluth, Chisholm, Virginia and Ely. Minnesota artists were included in both the chamber music and opera performances, with a payroll or more than $40,000 for freelance players and singers who live on the Iron Range, in the Duluth area, and in the Twin Cities. In Duluth, Duluth musicians were included in the chamber music program: Jeremy Craycraft, percussion professor at the College of Saint Scholastica, and his protégé, Chris Belich, were the percussionists for the Minnesota/United States premiere of Nikolai Kapustin’s Concerto for Two Pianos and Percussion. In Virginia, opera star Yevgeny Shapovalov created a sing-along with the audience. In Ely, Minnesota chamber musicians had an opportunity to perform in a professional venue. The opera chorus included more than thirty Minnesota amateur and professional singers from the region, standing shoulder to shoulder with professional artists from around the world. A pre-opera lecture was provided at every location, attended by more than 300 persons. The increase in audience size at the lectures was immensely important to us, showing that our audiences are eager for more educational programming. 2: Chisholm was a new community to us, and the attendance and interest at every level--civic and musical—was gratifying. We sold 350 tickets in this first effort. The Chisholm auditorium is very large, and we had hoped for a higher number; however, the Chisholm administration informed us that we had the highest attendance in recent memory for an event held in that venue.

Real or perceived barriers to participation are identified and addressed. More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts.","1. This year we succeeded in reaching 615 audience members, which was a 78% capacity. Of those who responded to our surveys, 52% reside outside of the central metro (in a suburb of Minneapolis or St Paul, in Western Wisconsin, or were visiting from another state). 2. We keep very detailed records of each tour through data from the box office and also from surveys filled out by audience members. After the tour, we analyze the data and compare it with previous years to find trends and to find places to make improvements or changes to better serve the audiences and communities served by the tour. We also meet with the garage-hosts, both individually and at a post-tour dinner held at an Off-Leash Area board member's home, where we discuss in detail each hosts experience in gathering an audience, identifying the strengths of their activities, and defining ways to improve for future tours. 3. Our targeted group was audiences in the suburban communities of Minneapolis/St Paul because of their geographic/financial/cultural barriers to access national level performing arts events like ours. 4. We felt our activity was an ideal match, because of a demonstrated interest by this group in our activities, because of the word-of-mouth in these communities from previous tours, and on a practical level because many homes in the suburbs have large garages. 5. Our program is designed so that the tour Hosts are the principal persons who gather their community for the event. We meet individually with each host to discuss and devise a marketing plan to maximize community participation based on each Host's immediate neighborhood, and their own personalities. A new strategy we implemented this year was to develop Co-Hosts, whereby each regular host formally partners with a select few neighbors to share the responsibility of gathering an audience for their event. This worked very well. 2: 1. We overcame our targeted audience's barriers to participation, including geographic, economic, and perceptive barriers. We also created an opportunity for more Minnesotans to participate in the arts, especially those who would not normally participate in a performing arts experience such as ours. 2. We evaluated the extent to which we achieved our outcomes through: one-on-one interactions between cast and the audience after the shows in the intimate and informal setting of the post-performance gatherings; building personal relationships with the garage Hosts and their Co-Hosts; evaluating the detailed audience surveys; and reviewing box office statistics. We also receive a number of unsolicited social media posts, emails, letters, and coverage from the media. 3. The barriers are geographic, economic, and cultural. The barriers were identified initially through audience development and research, through organizational planning to develop a community-based program organic to Off-Leash Area, and were reaffirmed by having conducted the program for the past three years. They are real barriers. 4. Off-Leash Area's Artistic Directors, Board of Directors, the Host, the Administrative Assistant, and cast were involved in devising strategies to eliminate the barriers. 5. Examples: Marketing through social networking and giving Hosts pre-made marketing materials have been successful strategies. Having Pay-What-You-Can,"" or ""Suggested Donation"" entry fees allow more individuals to attend the performances. This year, developing the Co-Host partnerships not only helped reduce the individual Hosts' responsibility of gathering an audience, but also brought more people into the core relationship-building aspect of the program, and brought in more audience.""",,11430,"Other, local or private",31430,2370,"John Munger, Siana Goodwin, Megan Ellingboe, Nina Ebbighausen, Jeffrey Morrison, Jennifer Ilse, Paul Herwig",,"Off-Leash Area: Contemporary Performance Works AKA Off-Leash Area","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Access",,"Off-Leash Area's project continues and expands our Neighborhood Garage Tour program,touring original contemporary performance throughout the metro suburbs with 30 performances in ten communities, reaching approximately 1,000 people.",2012-03-05,2012-11-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paul,Herwig,"Off-Leash Area: Contemporary Performance Works AKA Off-Leash Area","3540 34th Ave S",Minneapolis,MN,55406-2733,"(612) 724-7372 ",offleash@offleasharea.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-access-154,"Abner Arauza: Interim assistant director of intercultural affairs, Concordia College, Moorhead.

Further, the art was presented in conjunction with earth science (wetland ecosystems).

Teachers and education coordinators provided ongoing feedback and participated in a qualitative/quantitative evaluation (results mailed). 2: 1) More than 500 students learned fiber arts through hands-on lessons and learned about world cultures.

This support allowed for free tickets and busing to the matinee, and allowed us to subsidize tickets to the public show ($8 for adults, $4 for students and seniors, and free for kids 12 and under). Response to audience surveys, communications with staff from Bloomington Center for the Arts, and communications with schools and senior groups indicate that we were successful in bringing in audiences that were new to both Ragamala and Bloomington Center for the Arts, reaching local audiences, and bringing in senior citizens--groups that we had identified as having financial/geographical/physical barriers to attending Ragamala's work at our usual downtown venues. Attendee response demonstrated that we were successful in easing perceptual barriers (described below), thereby demonstrating that Ragamala’s work can inspire and move audiences of all ages and backgrounds. 2: 234 people attended the public performance—97 adults, 102 seniors, ten students, and 25 children. Surveys indicate that approximately 50% were seeing Ragamala for the first time. We were particularly delighted at senior attendance, as it was a goal to bring our work to seniors with limited mobility. Attendees at the evening performance included a group of 50 seniors from the SABES Jewish Community Center, and a group of eight seniors (four of whom use wheelchairs) from Saint Gertrude’s in the Garden. A full house of 375 attended the morning matinee—groups from Ridgeview Elementary in Bloomington, Eagle Creek Elementary in Shakopee, Ramalynn Montessori in Bloomington, Creek View Elementary in Edina, and 17 seniors from the SABES Jewish Community Center (a different group from those that attended the evening show).

In Northfield, we performed our signature work “Sacred Earth” at Saint Olaf College, along with a Bharatanatyam class for advanced dance students from the college’s Dance Department and local Division Street Dance school; a folk dance class for college students and community members; a visual art workshop for the college and general community; and a folk dance class offered at the Northfield Senior Wellness Center in partnership with the Northfield Arts Guild.

We evaluated our success through feedback from our partners. Gustavus Dance professor Michele Rusinko wrote, “I heard many, many great things following the performance. I went to the Saint Peter Food Co-op for lunch today, and the manager went out of her way to thank me for helping make it possible.” Al Behrends, Director of Fine Arts, wrote, “The reaction from the [K-12] school audiences was wonderful.

More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities.","On Oct 18–28, 2012, Ragamala hosted master Bharatanatyam dancer/choreographer Alarmel Valli for an 11-day residency with her 4-person orchestra and light designer. Activities included: a public performance at the Cowles Center accompanied by short lectures on the poetry/history of Bharatanatyam and her unique contemporary perspective; a screening of a documentary film about her life, career, and aesthetic followed by a reception/conversation with the audience; and daily classes with Ragamala. Despite being seriously ill with the flu, her activities were highly lauded. Minnesotans got an opportunity to learn about Bharatanatyam, an inside look at Ms. Valli’s singular aesthetic, and insight into the way an ancient form—in a master’s hands—can be contemporary and vital. Ragamala artists got an in-depth learning experience, new skills as performers/teachers, and new insight to pass on to local students. Outcomes were evaluated through written surveys, email/Facebook, and meetings with staff/board. Because of the film element of this project, we made an effort to reach out to film audiences. We sought advice from local documentary filmmaker Caitlin Hammel and, on her recommendation, placed posters/flyers at independent movie theaters (Lagoon, Uptown, Edina, Bell Museum etc.) and film departments at the University of Minnesota and Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and reached out to the Independent Filmmaker Project. Audiences exceeded our expectations and included many new to Ragamala. We had intended to offer a “Bharatanatyam for Dancers” master class by Ms. Valli geared toward Minnesota dancers/choreographers working in other forms of dance. Based on past feedback, in which local artists expressed interest in taking a master class from Ms. Valli, we reached out to dance companies and dance schools via emails and personal phone calls. We invited them to the free class and offered free tickets to the film. Regretfully, due to her illness, Ms. Valli ultimately cancelled the class. 30 dance artists/students took advantage of the free tickets. 2: Attendance at Ms. Valli’s performance was 442. Attendance at the documentary film was 129, with approximately 50 staying for the post-screening reception and conversation. Audiences at both events exceeded expectations. Audience surveys and observation indicated that many were not regular attendees at Ragamala events, demonstrating that we were successful in engaging more Minnesotans. As noted above, in addition to our regular promotional activities (mailings, posters, emails, Facebook), we specifically reached out to documentary film audiences and local dance artists. While we ultimately had to cancel the “Bharatanatyam for Dancers” class, our outreach to local dance companies and schools allowed us to get the word out personally to the dance community about Ms. Valli’s residency, and encourage dance artists to take advantage of the learning opportunities at the Cowles. This project served 577 Minnesotans. Strategies were developed by Ragamala staff/board in consultation with documentary filmmaker Caitlin Hammel and colleagues in the dance field who helped us reach their constituencies. We reached out to Indian American youth, for whom the opportunity to experience the highest quality of their own classical traditions is rare. Our success was cited in the Star Tribune, with a photo of Ms. Valli surrounded by young Indian girls waiting for her autograph: www.startribune.com/printarticle/?id=175431981. We reached out to local community-based Bharatanatyam teachers/amateur performers to plan a “Master Class for Bharatanatyam Dancers.” Local teacher Suchi Sairam offered to host it at her studio. Between her students, Ragamala students, and community dancers, we expected attendance of 30-35.

15561,"Arts Access",2012,20000,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Arts organizations build relationships with members of, or organizations that serve, groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization. Real or perceived barriers to participation are identified and addressed. More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. We track and record all scholarships and tuition in our DanceWorks database and use reports to ensure that we appropriately allotted funds received for dance scholarships, in order to ensure and promote access to the arts. The Reif Center contributed over $10,000 in additional assistance.","By increasing the amount of available dance scholarships, we were able to provide funds to families in need that could not otherwise have afforded to take dance classes at the Reif Center. We created a program where all first-year dancers in our fundamentals program (pre - 1st grade students) danced for free, and this program, combined with providing assistance to families in great financial need in other levels of our dance classes, allowed our program to grow to our strongest number in years. Our targeted community was low-income families in Itasca County and surrounding areas. Our primary consideration for granting scholarships was family income level, and we gave higher scholarships to the lowest income families. Families with dancers in grades two and above that were over a certain income level were not eligible for scholarships. We know that due to issuing a much smaller level of scholarships in the past (and having to turn away many families due to funding limitations) that there is a need for this type of arts programming assistance. Since the dance program is one we have had in place for over twenty years, we already have a solid relationship with our dancers and dance parents, and that made communicating the details of the expanded scholarship program much easier. 2: We know that there is a need for financial support to introduce and assist folks in this area to participate in the arts. With funds from this program, we were able to allow thirty-nine new students a chance to try their first year of dance at no cost, which has had a tremendous local impact. We also assisted forty-five other dancers through full or partial scholarships in upper division classes. The barriers we identified were communicated to us by dance parents in financially challenging situations. We have an open forum each year in which parents gather to communicate their concerns, and increasingly the concern has been not having adequate income to participate in dance classes. We also have a Reif board-led dance committee and a dance parent team that communicate the needs of dance parents to the Reif Center staff. In all cases, financial constraints were always cited, prompting us to pursue a larger scale tuition program to assist dancers at all levels and to fulfill our vision of allowing first-year fundamental students to dance all year at no cost. The strategy we used to eliminate barriers was provided for directly by the Arts Board grant and from our own financial contributions. We feel that this strategy was very successful and led to an increase in overall dance enrollment.",,141498,"Other, local or private",161498,20000,"Kirk Adams, Gene Baker, Ben Edwards, Jean Goad, Louise Koglin-Fideldy, Scott Larson, Dan Margo, Barbara McDonald, Laurie Passard, Tom Peltier, John Schroeder, Cathy Shields, Michael Thursby, Donna Vennie",,"Reif Arts Council AKA Reif Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Access",,"The Reif Center will provide dance scholarships for underprivileged children (K-12) in North Central Minnesota, to facilitate access to the arts for those unable to afford it.",2012-07-01,2012-09-07,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,David,Marty,"Reif Arts Council AKA Reif Center","720 NW Conifer Dr","Grand Rapids",MN,55744-2475,"(218) 327-5780 ",david@reifcenter.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Itasca,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-access-158,"Abner Arauza: Interim assistant director of intercultural affairs, Concordia College, Moorhead.

They include: A. Students who are engaged-asking questions, participating in activities, and volunteering to play. This is a strong indicator that the kids are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. B. Improve instrumental playing - band members will be more in tune, play together better and use proper warm-ups prior to ensemble playing. C. A successful capstone performance - a full audience, including students and their parents. D. Concert attendance and crowd interaction with the Copper Street Brass Quintet.The primary form if 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. This feedback is incorporated into future residency programs. The Copper Street Brass Quintet also stays on stage after each concert and makes a point to invite conversation from audience members. This informal audience feedback is an immediate and important reflection of their effectiveness on stage. In the context of a residency, it is also an opportunity to hear from parents and receive their perspective on the Copper Street Brass Quintet's impact on their child. A successful residency will contribute to providing youth with the skills and tools to take music outside of the classroom and into adulthood, inspiring them to play their instrument, attend more concerts and support the arts as adults. Additionally, it will provide instruction about instrumental technique for brass instruments upon which the band director can draw and cite throughout the school year, furthering the individual band student as well as the junior and senior high bands' overall ability.","I watched how the students paid attention to the group, their participation in the activities and what they continued to do in the days following the residency.

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

Courtney submitted the completed forms to the staff social worker at the Lab, Theresa Pease, who reviewed the progress of each student with Courtney on a regular basis. -Courtney attended weekly staff meetings of the Lab and the Journeys High School where there were opportunities to discuss each student’s daily progress and often Courtney’s work with the student was brought up as a barometer of the student’s general level of engagement for the week. -Courtney had ongoing discussions with staff teachers and social workers regarding her own impact on individual students. -Also, the professional musicians brought in to work with Courtney, Rob Genadek, Tommy Barbarella and Jeff Bailey, were all able to evaluate and provide feedback as to the quality of the arts education that was taking place as they visited the school or met students at the recording studio. The students’ pieces of writing were used as tools to gauge the success of the arts instruction in terms of language and writing development. The recordings themselves served as an evaluation tool in that they marked the culmination of a great deal of work and effort on behalf of the students and the teaching artist. Additional metrics on student attendance and engagement forthcoming: By bringing in a professional musician who is also a licensed teacher we aimed to provide access to songwriting and musical development while strengthening the students’ engagement with all curricula. Our hope was that arts programming could provide the magic backdoor access to a student’s inner abilities that have not yet been tapped in conventional educational situations, thus providing students with new glimpses of their potential as scholars and as contributing citizens. Courtney's background as a classroom teacher was invaluable. Without it, the project would have been difficult. Primary composition lessons were difficult with some students, but an approach from the perspective of songwriting and lyricism yielded better results. 2: 1. The outcome achieved is primarily that High School students at Journeys, a public school for extremely high-risk teens who are perpetually teetering between life on the streets and life in prison, were able to engage in musical collaboration of both an artistic and therapeutic nature with adult music artists yielding a.) a recording that they could be proud of, b.) an increase in their level of engagement with their educational future and c.) a better way of understanding their own emotional behavior. 2. The obvious measure of evaluation in this project was the number of students who were able to complete recordings. By examining shifting enrollment figures at Journeys and noting how many pieces of writing and recordings were made by students working with Courtney, a conclusion about the program’s success can be drawn. The final writings and recordings stand as evidence that students who had an interest did work hard and follow through and succeed at songwriting and recording with the help of an adult teaching artist. 3. For Courtney, there were real and perceived barriers regarding the acceptance of not only her project in the school but her own presence in the school as well. The feeling of having to be open and willing to interact is a constant when one is attempting to assimilate into a community. Add, then, that the community is one where differences of socioeconomics and race are touch-points for misunderstanding and one can easily feel that genuine acceptance may not be achievable. For the students, there were barriers of trust. Sometimes the students took weeks of being mean and disrespectful before they’d finally decide to get serious and begin work. There were also barriers of prior knowledge and cultural identification. Many students hadn’t previously been exposed to music above and beyond their current playlist, music from different cultures, different countries and different times in history. There were enormous barriers of the systems and lack of systems that the students were governed by leading, above all, to high percentages of absenteeism. Transportation, health, suspension due to behavior issues, criminal offenses, etc. Outside the school, there was a great deal of doubt regarding the feasibility of working productively in music with students of this profile. Aligning with partner teachers to strengthen acceptance of artist - Mary Tinucchi and Glo Adjusting timelines to contend with absenteeism - Recording Engineer + Musicians Adjusting curriculum to focus on student’s emotional development and openness - Teaching artist + The Lab Staff Courtney was given the opportunity by Mary Tinucchi to participate as a guest teacher in the ongoing Poetry Pathway lead by Glo, a fellow teacher, during school time several days per week. We worked closely with Glo, who was deeply trusted and admired by the students, to help give the project and Courtney a better image with the students. Glo’s encouragement helped push many students to increase their level of engagement with the program. To counter absenteeism, we were able to call upon the generosity of our recording artist and fellow musicians to accommodate additional recording sessions. The greatest difficulty was teaching the structures of original song composition. Through our struggles with this barrier, however, we learned that the process was beneficial in helping the students take comfort and pride in generating innovative song ideas and sharing their thoughts, emotions and frustrations through their writing. We succeeded in this because we were able to provide caring and attentive adults to be there throughout the process.",,,,35233,,"Jay Peterson, Mark Raderstorf, John Kim, Jessica Conrad, Holly Mu±oz, Jeremy Wang, Ange Wang, Jim Nimmer, Sarah Erkkinen, Venessa Fuentes, Rita Hartke, Justin Hartke, Peter Ireland",0.18,"Rock Star Supply Co.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Using an integrated English language arts and song writing curriculum, a teacher-certified, professional musician will teach 36 high school students with emotional behavioral disorder basic song writing as a medium for self-expression, anger management, a",2012-03-01,2013-02-28,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Emily,Cook,"Rock Star Supply Co.","2388 University Ave W","St Paul",MN,55114,"(612) 616-1848 ",emily@rockstarsupplyco.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-236,"Shari Aronson: Co-founder, Z Puppets Rosenschnoz.; Alison Good: Former commercial artist, educator and administrator; active community volunteer; Zhimin Guan: Professor of art, Minnesota State University Moorhead.; Karla Nweje: Dancer, choreographer, writer, and educator.; Gretchen Pick: Artistic director, Young Dance.

Additionally, of the arts learners who had previous theatre experience, 70% of those experiences occurred at their school, thus this project increased the venues in which youth could have arts learning opportunities. To measure the outcomes, arts learners took a pre-program survey collecting data on the frequency and venue of arts learning experiences before coming to Woodland Hills and arts learning opportunities at Woodland Hills. 2: Before participating in this project, 96% of students had never had an in depth theatre experience and only 38% of students had any experience in theatre. Following the completion of the project, 21% of participants said they would “definitely” participate in theatre outside of Woodland Hills, 32% said they were “interested”, and 42% said they “might” participate.

More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations. We tallied tickets and attendance. In addition, we created a questionnaire about the experience that local performers, venue operators, and audience members completed.","A total of six performers and one production manager toured a site-specific production of The Cherry Orchard to five rural communities in the state of Minnesota. Our goal was to perform six shows in each of the five communities (for a total of thirty shows) with an 80% attendance rate. Due to the popularity of the production, we ended up performing thirty-five shows and surpassed our ticket sale goals by 116 tickets. Many shows were performed for standing room audiences. In addition, we surpassed our workshop participant numbers by twenty-three. Finally, because of the strong caliber of performers that attended the auditions, we increased the number of local performers used in the production from twenty to thirty-one. The five communities chosen were Blue Earth, Worthington, Taylors Falls, Little Falls and Kenyon. These communities were chosen because each contained a publically owned historical home that was built around the time The Cherry Orchard was written and performed. These communities were also chosen because of their high rate of house and farm foreclosures in recent years, a central theme of the play. 2: Our goal was to introduce site-specific work to areas of the state that lack access to unique programming and tend to offer traditional theater productions such as musicals and popular comedies. Our greatest challenge was to fill the venues with audiences, who might be intimidated by productions they were unfamiliar with. By reaching out to community members through newspapers, radio advertisements and interviews, and simply conversing with locals while dining at area restaurants and shopping at stores, we were able to perform our shows and exceed the target audience numbers that we estimated, often times performing to standing-room-only houses. We performed for people who attended from seventy-nine different cities; many drove a long distance to see the show. The community leaders were instrumental to the success of this project. Members in the cast were great resources for providing access to materials to make the production happen. If we were in need of a truck, a prop, publicity assistance, ticket promoters, or costume assistance, the community performers were extremely generous in helping us.

Overall, lessons were more relevant and interesting, the program to improve social skills through drumming was implemented in lower grades, students have more positive outlets to express their views and feelings and parents and families are more involved in their children's education. Though these issues continue to need to be addressed, the arts have begun the work. Many different strategies were used. A classroom artist in residence model was used for much of the work. Smaller groups were put together to work with the artists in concentrated bursts of time. In some occasions the artists performed for the school. The Sheridan staff was trained in dance/writing and African drumming methods. The staff was resistant to training and I see limited evidence of them incorporating arts strategies into their classroom. The music department is an exception. The music teachers have incorporated African drumming into the general music curriculum. Some classroom teachers were resistant to arts residencies. Part of the problem was the amount of time and staff change from when the grant was written to when it was implemented. In the future I will be very careful about which classroom teachers have an artist in residence and do some teaching about how to have the experience work well. 2: Sheridan students were engaged in the arts! The Sheridan art crawl in May 2012 featured many performances and artist/student produced films including two films, Afro-Cuban dance and African drumming performance. The African drumming was ongoing from March 2012 through February 2013. Karla Nweje, dancer in residence picked up in the fall and worked with first, second and third grade classes including a second grade dance literacy integration that culminated in a student performance interspersed between a professional performance. Folk music and dance were sung and performed by kindergartners in the fall. African drumming was integrated into the general music curriculum while developing a permanent African drumming group. Rubrics were developed for some of the middle school arts projects. With the younger children the experiences were assessed through reflection in an arts planner. Almost every student at Sheridan experienced the arts through arts creation, performance and response. Sheridan has a high poverty, highly mobile school population who can feel that arts are for others."" Specific perceived barriers include that the arts are done by other people and have no relevance to the student's survival. The arts staff is not culturally reflective of the students nor do they live in the neighborhood. Seyer Frey and Robin McGaliard Nelson are neighborhood artists. Students can see their work by the school. Sowah Mensah, Karla Nweje and Maya Washington are artists that reflect the racial makeup of the school. Students were able to see artists that look like them and have these artists teach how art is for everyone, including them There ended up being two filmmaking projects-Seyer Frey addressed the filmmaking project from a technical filmmakers point of view, Maya Washington addressed it from an actors and cultural point of view. The students were much more engaged working with Maya. In that case the cultural artist was more effective than the neighborhood artist.""",,,,41946,,"Alberto Monserrate, Jenny Arneson, Richard Mammen, Rebecca Gagnon, Tracine Asberry, Carla Bates, Kim Ellison, Josh Reimnitz, Hussein Samatar",,"Sheridan Arts Magnet","K-12 Education","Arts Learning",,"This project will invigorate arts learning for Sheridan students and teachers through in-depth classroom artist residencies.

The Singers rehearsed and performed side-to-side with students. Evaluation included individual discussions between the two parties which were reported to Artistic Director and tour coordinator. The Singers were available after the concerts for questions and comments. Ticket sellers at Brainerd asked each patron about how they knew about the concert. They collected email addresses increasing our visibility in the area. Artistic and administrative staff members traveled to each location prior to the tour, to meet in person with our partners in each community and do a site visit"" to anticipate any production needs. The Singers worked with choirs in each location, rehearsing ad performing collaboratively. Our project partners were involved with scheduling and identifying space for rehearsals; serving as concert venues; providing limited volunteer support; consulting on the final repertoire choices; and assisting to a limited degree with event publicity. Partner choir members received complimentary tickets to distribute within the community, making use of existing social networks. 2: The Singers organization hopes to build on the musical and educational successes seen in both St Cloud and Brainerd. By teaming with Saint Cloud State University, The Singers presented a solo program while also standing with nearly 300 high school and collegiate singers in an educational outreach setting. Response from the Saint Cloud State University partners was very positive. In Brainerd, The Singers paired with the A Cappella Choir from Brainerd High School, and again this shoulder-to-shoulder experience was overwhelmingly positive. Brian Stubbs, conductor of the Brainerd High School choir claimed it to be one of the most exciting musical collaborations that the students have experienced. These verbal conversations after the events were the primary source of feedback on outcomes and presentations. The partner organizations for this project have been all been active and important supporters of choral music and artistic collaboration within their communities. The Singers' Founder and Artistic Director, Matthew Culloton, is originally from St Cloud and has many acquaintances in the local choral community, which helps to create a successful collaborative program with a lot of local support. Saint Cloud State University is in its fifth year of hosting the ""Big Sing"" festival, and because of this grant, our Artistic Director was able to serve as guest conductor this year, along with The Singers as guest artists. The Brainerd A Cappella Choir is a decades-old institution that has long been recognized as one of the strongest high school-level choral programs in the state.""",,5388,"Other, local or private",26943,4500,"Dean Gesme, Maureen Armstrong, JohnSteinke, Craig Carnahan, Carolyn Collins, Patrick Hipwell, Mary Kirchner, Gary Lehr, Nancy Rotenberry, Cynthia Tambornino, Greta Wicker",1.25,"Singers Minnesota Choral Artists AKA The Singers-Minnesota Choral Artists","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Tour Minnesota ",,"The Singers-Minnesota Choral Artists will work with new community partners in Brainerd and Saint Cloud to offer master classes and collaborative public performances with local student choirs.",2012-06-01,2013-03-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Matthew,Culloton,"Singers Minnesota Choral Artists AKA The Singers-Minnesota Choral Artists","528 Hennepin Ave Ste 303",Minneapolis,MN,55403-1810,"(651) 917-1948 ",office@singersmca.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Stearns, Crow Wing",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-tour-minnesota-138,"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.

Most art teachers are not trained in textile art techniques and don't have access to bring the tools and equipment into their classrooms. For the two groups of students at our partner schools, participation in the residencies offered through this program was the first time they had exposure to fiber art techniques including embroidery, sewing, digital fabric design and dyeing. The six week residency period allowed students the unique opportunity to design every aspect of their finished project. The teaching artist was able to introduce them to digital fabric design, a cutting edge technique in the fiber art field, and teach basic sewing skills and provide access to professional techniques and tools for them to sew garments, wall art and accessories of their own design. 2: Textile Center has partnered previously with Sobriety High school and both students and teachers were enthusiastic about continuing the partnership into another school year. Teachers at Sobriety chose the poetry unit to combine with fiber art because in the past poetry has been very difficult for students to connect with. By adding the art component, the students were able to study poetry from a different perspective and increase both their engagement with the literature as well as the art component. The art teacher at Trio Wolf Creek approached Textile Center as a partner because she wanted to provide her students with a hands-on component to the art classes she was teaching, but lacked the resources and expertise to be able to do so on her own.

We were able to bring six taiko drumming residencies to five schools and one assisted living center. These six residencies brought unique arts learning programming to 1,575 people in the state of Minnesota. To our knowledge, Mu Performing Arts is the only organization in Minnesota offering residencies in the Japanese taiko drumming style known as kumi-daiko. 2. At the end of each residency, an evaluation form is sent to school/partner staff and/or teachers, who are asked to rate the residency and provide comments on positive aspects and suggestions for improvement. In addition, our teaching artists are asked for their feedback to determine areas for improvement and success stories. 3. We contacted seven organizations prior to applying for the grant - six schools and one assisted living facility. Five of the groups were longstanding or strong new partners to our taiko programs, one was a former partner who had not been able to bring Mu Daiko back to their school in recent years, and one was a new partner looking for arts programming. Of these, the five longstanding/strong new partners committed to the project, while the other two were not able to commit due to lack of school staff support. However, we were able to create a new partnership through Project SUCCESS with Northeast Middle School and hope to return again in the future. 2: 1. Real and perceived barriers to arts participation were overcome through this project and 1,575 Minnesotans were exposed to a valuable arts learning experience. 2. Through discussions with residency partners and teaching artist feedback, we identified barriers and evaluated success in mitigating them. 3. Real barriers included special needs (cognitive and physical), barriers, and financial barriers. Perceived barriers included perception vs. reality of what participants were able to accomplish from both partner staff and participants themselves. These were identified by Mu leadership staff, teaching artists, and partner staff such as Project SUCCESS facilitators or teachers. 4. Strategies were developed by Mu leadership staff. Rick Shiomi, Mu's Artistic Director, has over 20 years of experience in the arts and arts learning. Iris Shiraishi has a background in music therapy and over 15 years of experience as a teaching artist. 5.

Arts learning opportunities are more accessible to Minnesota because barriers to participation have been identified and mitigated. Tiger Lion Arts used the following methods/tools to evaluate the program: collaborative meetings with puppet artists, teachers, and In the Heart of the Beast administrative staff, during which successes and suggestions for improvement were discussed; puppet residency surveys, completed by classroom teachers, who worked side by side with the artists; and one survey each, about the puppet and music residencies, completed by all students in grades 3-5. We have received statements from the school principals and music teachers, as well as 175 thank-you letters from kids that refer to various parts of the project. The parades and concert are documented in videos and photographs that reflect the Dragons Project's success.","The Dragons Project was a huge success. It offered students at Green Central Park School and Northport Elementary the unique opportunity to see a musical premiere and then work with artists and musicians who had been involved in creating the show. Individuals from Puppet Farm Arts, In the Heart of the Beast, and the Minnesota Boychoir were among the teaching artists, who also included Dragons director/Tiger Lion Arts executive director Markell Kiefer, composer/musical director Laurie MacGregor, and flutist Julie Johnson. The puppet residencies ended with two school parades directed by Kiefer. A total of 1,018 K-5 and 7th grade students worked with artists to create dragon puppets with recycled materials. The sophistication of the puppets increased with each grade level, and the classroom teachers worked alongside the artists and marched in the parades with their students. Five hundred of these students performed in the May 24 concert. The puppet parades and concert were free and attended by families, friends, and most staff members from each school. With a goal to impact every student, MacGregor presented the project to faculty. She suggested ways to integrate the dragon theme and Jack Prelutsky's book of poems, from which the musical was adapted, into existing curricula, thereby working within the schools' curriculum requirements. English as a Second Language teachers worked with English learners to help them understand Prelutsky's vocabulary. MacGregor worked with the music teachers to align the music residencies with their schedules, and with the principals to fit the puppet residencies into the schools' frameworks. The music residencies resulted in a joint school performance conducted by MacGregor. Five hundred children, accompanied by the show's original Dragons Band, sang the Dragons score. The culminating events, students’ excitement and pride, enthusiastic audience responses, and ensuing feelings of community illustrated the project’s success. In addition, we incorporated the create/perform/respond model, enabling children to understand and appreciate multiple art forms; acquire skills in vocal techniques, performance, and puppet and mask-making; present their artwork and perform music; and reflect on their activities. 2: The barriers to participation were identified by residency designer Laurie MacGregor, Green Central Park and Northport music teachers Corina Miller and Kristin Hiykel, and Northport principal Patrick Smith. The barriers were real and included a lack of funds for special events, transportation, artist residencies, and materials. Strategies to eliminate barriers included fundraising, collaboration, and grantwriting. All worked well: MacGregor organized two fundraisers, with entertainment provided by Dragons collaborators Circus Juventas and the Minnesota Boychoir, and MacGregor wrote four grant applications. Three grant awards and additional funds enabled us to offer the program at no cost to two schools, providing the following: theater tickets; bus transportation with wheelchair accommodation; residencies with six puppet, one theater, and three music artists; art supplies; and the opportunity for children to perform with twelve professional musicians.",,13901,"Other, local or private",62617,5400,"Markell Kiefer, Tyson Forbes Lien, Dianne Lev, Marney Brooks (d.

Each tour included a public performance and community education, outreach and engagement activities. In Bigfork (The Edge Center for the Arts), activities included a public performance, a performance for students, two master classes at the Reif Center in Grand Rapids, and an open community class for all ages. In Red Wing (Sheldon Theatre), activities included a public performance for adults and youth, a master class at Shoreline Dance Studio, a community class for all ages at the YMCA, and a lecture/demonstration at Tower View Alternative High School. In Worthington (Memorial Auditorium), activities included a public performance and two student performances. We measured our success in achieving our intended outcomes by tracking participation and attendance in each tour community, obtaining feedback from service constituents, and collecting evaluation forms. TU Dance toured to Bigfork, Red Wing, and Worthington. We returned to Bigfork for a second year based on the enthusiastic response to our first visit the prior year, and the community's expressed interest in an expanded residency that involved more community engagement. Our strategies included outreach to adults, engaging all local students and area homeschoolers, and classes for students from the nearby community of Grand Rapids at the Reif Performing Arts Center. The Blandin Foundation was a partner for the public performance. The touring project represented TU Dance's first visits to Red Wing and Worthington. Red Wing was selected based on mutual interest, and the Sheldon Theatre's establishment of a new annual dance series. The activities were promoted to the nearby community of Rochester as well, from which the Sheldon Theatre draws some audience. Our strategies to engage the local community included collaboration with the local YMCA, local dance schools such as Shoreline Dance Studio, and Dance Dana and Co. located in nearby Lake City, and Tower View Alternative High School. TU Dance chose to collaborate with Worthington based on the diversity of its population (over 50% people of color) and its initial enthusiasm for hosting our company. Our visit included community outreach through the Nobles County Integration Collaborative, master classes for local students through Katy Williams Prunty's Dance Academy and Prairie Elementary School (among others). Educational activities and outreach efforts coordinated with our host venues/contacts proved to be effective strategies for engaging a broader and more diverse population in these communities beyond public performances. 2: The project introduced TU Dance to the communities of Red Wing and Worthington for the first time, while building on successful engagement of populations in and around Bigfork from the prior year. Most basically, we evaluated the success of achieving this outcome by completing the tours as proposed in the new communities of Red Wing and Worthington. We collected attendance and participation information, and conducted evaluations in each community (including a partner evaluation form and discussions). A total of 1,331 people attended TU Dance public and student performances. (350 in Bigfork, 117 in Red Wing, and 864 in Worthington). More specifically, in Red Wing, we engaged 27 teens in a master class, 14 high school students in a lecture/demonstration, and nine people ages 10-60 in a community class. In Worthington, TU Dance held a public performance engaging 199 audience members, and a student performance with lecture/demonstration for 665 k-12 students and teachers. TU Dance is among ten national roster artists represented by Pentacle Danceworks agency, and Pentacle worked in collaboration with us and the project venue partners to develop the touring activities. Having previously worked with the Edge Center in Bigfork, we were able to develop a solid plan for broader and deeper engagement with that community and populations in nearby Grand Rapids. It is part of the Edge Center's strategic plan to explore touring opportunities with Minnesota performing groups, and specifically to explore reciprocity with other participants from the first round of the ArtsLab program (both Edge Center and TU Dance were among participants). The strategic plan and its priorities were developed by Edge Center staff and board, conveying input gathered from the local community. Edge Center staff leveraged their connections and networks to develop the other community collaborations around TU Dance's visit. The Sheldon Theatre in Red Wing sought TU Dance, among others, to launch a new dance series at their facility. The vision for this series was developed by the Sheldon Theatre's staff and supported by its board. They also were able to leverage their many community connections to develop the activities in and around Red Wing that TU Dance participated in during our visit. The Memorial Auditorium in Worthington was recently renovated, and they sought to bring arts groups representing artists of diverse backgrounds to engage their highly diverse local population. They are working to develop a local audience for dance, but are in the very early stages of doing so. The community and venue face considerable economic challenges that make the effort difficult. However, efforts to engage local youth through schools was successful.",,11724,"Other, local or private",42274,1343,"Toni Pierce-Sands, Uri Sands, Marcia Murray, Leif Anderson, Roderick Ferguson, Priscilla Pierce Goldstein, Zoe Sealy, Kelly Greene Vagts",,"TU Dance","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Tour Minnesota ",,"TU Dance will tour to Red Wing, Worthington, and Bigfork to present public performances and partner with communities to conduct master classes, reach underserved populations,and engage local audiences.",2012-04-01,2013-03-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Abdo,Sayegh,"TU Dance","PO Box 40405","St Paul",MN,55104,"(651) 699-6055 ",Abdo.sayegh@tudance.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Itasca, Goodhue, Nobles, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-tour-minnesota-140,"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.

In addition, our grant activities helped Iraqi American Reconciliation Project connect with new Iraqi families, expanding their community and the individuals they will serve in the future. Iraqi American Reconciliation Project and Veterans Book Project worked together throughout the year, and evaluated this work in various ways. This success was measured through our communication with each other all along. For example, at the end of the workshop activities and before the next phase of promotion, lead Iraqi American Reconciliation Project contact, Luke Wilcox and I met outside the busy, practical interaction we normally have just to keep the project running, and reflected on our work process. We discussed the future, too - ongoing ways Iraqi American Reconciliation Project could sustain the bookmaking and exhibiting. The second way we measure the success of this relationship is through the fact that Iraqi American Reconciliation Project has initiated ongoing projects with Veterans Book Project. Iraqi American Reconciliation Project has written a National Endowment for the Arts grant and several others that include the Veterans Book Project. They want to continue exhibiting the Veterans Book Project books on their own throughout the United States, and also try to take over the workshop to make more books. They have hosted their own Veterans Book Project book reading receptions in addition to the ones described here. They have done radio interviews together with Veterans Book Project authors, and use the Veterans Book Project books for their own fundraising and promotional purposes to show what their organization has done. The books demonstrate the urgency and reasons to support their important work with Iraqi/American reconciliation. 2: We measured by the number of Iraqis who made books. Eleven Iraqi authors total - higher than anticipated, despite very real barriers: Language. Transportation. Safety. Safety comes with anonymity and making their experience public threatens this safety. Time was a barrier, especially for Iraqi authors. The student authors were often responsible for caring for their younger siblings. Adults, too. For two young Iraqi female authors, once into book-making process, we faced cultural and generational barriers where fathers reconsidered allowing their daughters to finish their books. One substantial way we addressed these barriers was taking TIME. Getting to know the authors’ family members. Picking up authors, dropping them off. Haller revised the workshop structure to meet nights, weekends. We often met individually instead of group.

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.

Real or perceived barriers to participation are identified and addressed. More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. We encouraged all audience members to complete surveys; approximately 15% did so. Of those, 14% indicated that this was their first time attending a theater production. Since we had large numbers of community youth attending and most of the surveys were completed by adults, we suspect this is an underrepresentation of first-time or rare theater-goers.","Our biggest success in this area was involving community youth. Many of the ideas in the play came from story circles held with students at RiversEdge Academy and Humboldt High School. Several Humboldt students also attended the play. We held auditions at El Rio Vista Recreation Center, situated between three public housing facilities, and more than fifteen kids who happened to be attending the recreation center that evening auditioned. Of those, five participated as performers. Rehearsals and performance were held in the Neighborhood House facility attached to the recreation center. The audience was mostly community members. We target the diverse communities of the West Side of St Paul and aim for intergenerational participation. We selected the West Side because of its richness of diversity and stories and because many of the artists involved live or work on the West Side. Ninety-eight percent of audience surveys and 100% of community participant surveys indicated that this production fit the West Side,"" and over 90% of audience surveys and over 80% of community participant surveys indicating an ""excellent"" or ""very good"" fit. Additionally, over 90% of community participants rated the overall experience as ""excellent"" or ""very good."" We have built relationships by going to places West Siders already gather (e.g., public housing community meetings, English language and citizenship classes, school rooms) and hosting story circles within the community. This works better than hosting our own gatherings. 2: Adults and youth who had never or rarely participated in or seen live theater participated onstage, back stage, and as part of the audience. Financial barriers to participation were removed. Prior year feedback from community participants identified that even ""pay as you can"" tickets are perceived as a barrier. As a result, we added the strategy of distributing free tickets through community partners. Community partners also identified transportation as a barrier.

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

We conducted 12 sampling campaigns over a 28-month period from 2011 - 2013, a time period that included extremely wet and dry seasons and therefore highly variable water levels. We collected samples from two agricultural drainage ditches, two municipal wastewater treatment plants, four locations in the river (upstream of both treatment plants, between the two plants, at the outfall of the second plant, and downstream of both plants), and from a nearby reference creek site. For collected samples we quantified six antibiotic resistance genes, susceptibility of cultivable bacteria to four antibiotics, and concentrations of six antibiotics. The highest levels of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance were consistently associated with the municipal wastewater treatment plant samples. In addition, tetracycline-resistant bacteria isolated from wastewater treatment plants were found to be much more likely (103 out of 124 isolates) than tetracycline-resistant bacteria isolated from the river (0 out of 148 isolates) to have an integron, a mobile genetic element that can be associated with multiple-antibiotic resistance. These findings suggest human sources are much more significant than agricultural sources for this portion of the Minnesota River. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The students who have been involved in this project have made multiple poster presentations in local venues on their work over the course of the project. In addition, the results have been disseminated via multiple poster and oral presentations at professional conferences. It is also anticipated that manuscripts currently in preparation will result in two peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals.",,"Final Report",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Kristine,Wammer,"University of St Thomas","2115 Summit Ave, OSS 402","St Paul",MN,55105,"(651) 962-5574",khwammer@stthomas.edu,"Analysis/Interpretation, Inventory, Monitoring","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Blue Earth, Le Sueur, Nicollet",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/assessment-minnesota-river-antibiotic-concentrations,,,,

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

In order to allow for more stormwater infiltration, an underground storage chamber was installed in the northern half of the swale and a large pre-treatment basin was installed at the northern end as well. Additional smaller pre-treatment catch basins were installed via curb cuts along the western side of the swale. Compacted soils were removed throughout the entire swale area and it was then regraded. Compost and mulch were installed along with Minnesota native plants. Two pathways were put in place to keep people from trampling the plants (and this seems to be working well). Maintenance is provided by the initial contractor for the first two years and the School District has been extremely helpful and eager to keep this project looking good and functioning well. The City of White Bear Lake has agreed to vacuum out the storage chamber as needed. Thus, this project has been a great cooperative effort and arrangement between VLAWMO, the White Bear Lake School District, and the City of White Bear Lake.

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

Previous funding from a Minnesota Lake Superior Coastal Program grant enabled a landscape architect to complete the shovel-ready designs and construction specifications. Local SWCD engineering staff assisted with the stormwater calculations and the site surveys. This project will provide stormwater treatment to approximately 12.3 acres in the city of Grand Marais that currently drains directly to Lake Superior. Implementing rain gardens as stormwater practices will work towards protecting the water quality of Lake Superior.

Investment efficiency is best evaluated by an independent, expert review panel that uses predominantly qualitative metrics to evaluate the program. The charge of the review panel is to determine if the research supported is relevant, of the highest quality, effective and efficient.Relevance is a measure of how well research supports the mission or purpose of the Clean Water Fund, which is to protect, enhance and restore lakes, rivers, streams, groundwater and drinking water in Minnesota.Quality refers to how research contributes to our understanding and knowledge of water resources in Minnesota. The review panel will evaluate the soundness, accuracy, novelty and reproducibility of the research projects.Effectiveness refers to the usability of research results by various stakeholders such as TMDL and other technical field staff, conservation professionals, and policy-makers.Efficiency refers to the ability to achieve quality, relevance, and effectiveness while minimizing resources devoted to the project in terms of time and money The review panel can also identify emerging issues and determine their place in research priorities. 2) Process efficiency: are the research investments being managed well?Process efficiency uses quantitative measures to track dollars and hours devoted to a project. Process efficiency refers to inputs, outputs, and intermediate outcomes of a research project and overall program.Inputs include agency resources such as funding, facilities, and staff that support research.Outputs are products delivered by a research project such as conclusions, reports, published papers, monitoring data and new techniques developed.Intermediate outcomes provide the review panel tangible metrics of evaluation.

We enhanced 10 more acres of habitat than originally proposed and increased leverage by $121,700 (67%). ",,"The projects completed with Fy2012 funding used methods similar to those used on projects completed by MNTU chapters in the past several years and also incorporated new research to improve project designs and fish and wildlife benefits.   The specific fish habitat enhancement methods used on each stream varied depending upon the distinct natural resource characteristics of each watershed and ecological region, the limiting factors identified for each stream, and the variations in the type and magnitude of poor land uses practices within each watershed.  MNTU tailored each project accordingly, using the best available science, in close consultation with resource professionals within the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (“MNDNR”).    Purposes:  Each project was designed and completed using techniques selected to accomplish one or more of the following purposes:  (a) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream; (b) reconnect streams to their floodplains to reduce negative resource impacts from severe flooding; (c) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms; (d) maintain or increase adult trout abundance; (e) increase habitat and biodiversity for both invertebrates and other non-game species; (f) be long lasting with minimal maintenance required; and (g) improve angler access and participation.   Habitat enhancement methods:  Methods used on each project included one or more of the following techniques: (1) sloping back stream banks to both remove accumulated sediments eroded from uplands areas and better reconnect the stream to its floodplain; (2) removing undesirable woody vegetation (invasive box elder, buckthorn, etc.) from riparian corridors to enable removal of accumulated sediments, reduce competition with desirable plant and grass species, and allow beneficial energy inputs (sunlight) to reach the streams; (3) stabilizing eroding stream banks using vegetation and/or rock; (4) selectively installing overhead and other in-stream cover for trout; (5) installing soil erosion prevention measures; (6) mulching and seeding exposed stream banks (including with native prairie plant species where appropriate and feasible); (7) improving or maintaining stream access roads and stream crossings to reduce erosion; (8) fencing grassy riparian corridors, including in such a way as to facilitate managed grazing, in order to prevent damage from over grazing; (9) placing large logs in northern forested streams to restore cover logs removed a half century or more ago; and (10) in northern forested watersheds with little cold groundwater, planting desirable trees in riparian areas to provide shade for the stream channel and help cool the water. Agricultural area example:  Many streams in the agricultural areas of southern and central Minnesota have been negatively impacted by many decades of poor land management practices.  The projects in southeast Minnesota used the following approach to address this: Erosion has led to wider, shallower and warmer streams, as well as excessive streamside sediments which regularly erode, covering food production and trout reproduction areas.  In many cases shallow rooted invasive trees have taken over the riparian corridors, out competing native vegetation which better secures soils, and reducing energy inputs to the stream ecosystem.  To remedy this, a typical enhancement project will involve several steps.  First, invasive trees are removed from the riparian zone and steep, eroding banks are graded by machinery to remove excess sediments deposited here from upland areas.  Importantly, this reconnects the stream to its floodplain.  Since many of these agricultural watersheds still experience periodic severe flooding, select portions of the stream banks are then reinforced with indigenous rock.  In lower gradient watersheds, or watersheds where flows are more stable, little or no rock is used.  After enhancement work is completed the streams flow faster and become deeper, keeping them cooler and providing natural overhead cover through depth and the scouring of sediments deposited by decades of erosion. Second, overhead cover habitat is created.  Bank degradation and the removal of native prairie have dramatically decreased protective overhead cover in the riparian zone.  Two methods are used to remedy this situation:  increasing the stream’s depth, which alone provides natural cover to trout, and installing overhead cover structures in select stream banks.  Wooden structures are often installed into banks in hydraulically suitable locations and reinforced with rock as a way to restore or recreate the undercut banks which had existed before settlement and agricultural land use altered the more stable flows which had gradually created and maintained them. Finally, vegetation is reestablished in the re-graded riparian corridor to further stabilize banks and act as buffer strips to improve water quality.  Depending upon the specific site conditions, landowner cooperation, and agricultural use, native prairie grasses may be planted along the stream corridors, although often mixed with fast sprouting annual grains to anchor soils the first year.  Taken together, these actions directly enhance physical habitat, and typically increase overall trout abundance, population structure, the number of larger trout, and levels of successful natural reproduction.  In addition to the benefits to anglers of increased trout habitat and trout abundance, project benefits extending well downstream include reduced erosion and sedimentation, cooler water temperatures, improved water quality and numerous benefits to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife populations. The following projects, totaling more than 7.5 miles of stream and 91 acres, were completed with FY2012 funds: 1. Garvin Brook (Winona); 2. Hay Creek (Goodhue); 3. Seven Mile Creek (Nicollet); 4.

A favorite tagline is “lessons in violin, viola, cello and string bass for ages 7-100.” To promote awareness of the arts, Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program initiated a collaboration of nonprofit arts organizations three years ago. Grand Rapids Arts is the result. Its online arts calendar was recently launched. Grand Rapids Arts and Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program will premier Grand Rapids’ version of First Friday on October 7, the Friday before the Common Chords residency. The evening will include the traditional gallery openings with music and entertainment provided by arts organizations. First Fridays will then be a fixture in the community. The goal is to bring an economic boost to the downtown and market Grand Rapids as an arts destination. Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program will continue to work with District 318 Indian Services to recruit its students. The Common Chords residency will include a fry bread/taco feast cultural exchange with parents of Ojibwe students. Hopefully, the evening will make orchestra music more accessible. Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program will continue to collaborate with Itasca Networks for Youth (INFY). INFY is in the process of developing indicators to measure the success of after school programs. This will assist a larger collaboration of the Itasca Area Schools Collaborative and the Blandin Foundation. Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program students and instructors will be a continued presence at the Children’s Fair. The Fair is free, open to all, ADA compliant and attracts thousands of children each year. Children who pass by the booth are handed a violin and cello to keep the beat on one string while they are accompanied by a fiddle tune. Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program is committed to breaking down the barriers to participation in arts learning activities for Minnesotans. Performance measures will be in place to gauge increase of involvement. The following have been practices in the past and will continue: tracking number of students enrolling and dates of enrollments, and conducting year-end student surveys, exit and staff interviews. Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program will implement the following to improve assessment and evaluation: training in Strategic Financial Planning for the executive director and one board member, training in evaluation of youth programs through Itasca Networks for Youth, surveying parents online using Survey Monkey.","Data recorded on First Fridays: five Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program student performances; partnerships formed with seven businesses, one non-arts nonprofit, and four agencies; an average of 152 attendees, based on a count taken at venues at 6:00 p.m. 2.

Develop a music curriculum for area schools and other community partners. Provide continuing professional education for our artist/instructors. The Center for Irish Music is proud its community music school has become an unprecedented new revenue stream for the area’s most accomplished Irish musicians and artists. The growth of the Center for Irish Music over the past six years has provided artistic and financial opportunities for professional, traditional musicians in the community. We have gone from two paid instructors in 2004 to 18 currently. Paying our fine musicians not only the respect they deserve, but the living wage they require to practice and perfect their art is one of the values at the very heart of the Center for Irish Music, and is an outcome we share with the Community Arts Schools and Conservatories program. Ongoing programming is evaluated during instructor meetings held three times per year with feedback presented at monthly board meetings. Programming is also evaluated by examining statistics such as repeat enrollment, attendance at family sessions and larger events, and the number of new students enrolled. General interest in the center is measured by the number of sustaining members, the number of requests to our e-mail distribution and mailing lists, the number and type of media promoting the center, the number of Facebook/My Space friends, and the number of hits on our web site. Finally, the success of programming is measured by its impact on our financial balance sheet. Evaluations with instructors have shown an ongoing interest in participatory decision-making. Instructors play a critical role running CIM and have taken the lead on suggesting changes to the instructor compensation system and class fees. Evaluations from students have indicated a continued strong interest in Irish song classes and CIM has expanded this area of programming both in regular classes and with master workshops. Progress towards meeting our outcomes will be measured by the number of students enrolled in classes, the number of outreach events conducted in the coming years, and in community attendance at our events.","Curriculum for an early childhood class for 2-4 year olds was developed and a new class was offered. This included hiring an additional teacher. Additional funding is needed to finish the component of a professionally recorded and produced CD and book. Additional funding is being sought. Success was measured by the development of a new class and by the enrollment of young students. A music curriculum for area schools and community partners has been developed and has allowed expanded outreach into the community. One new performance was at a community festival in Rochester; another at a Saint Paul Library; and a beginning ensemble performed at a festival in Brainerd.

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

Also, by listening to our season ticket holders, we will see improvements being made to enhance their experience (much like the new seats recently installed, format changes on our programs to allow for larger fonts, time changes in shows based on the needs of our season ticket holders, and many others as they are drawn to our attention). 2) Increased single show revenue. 3) A broad base of artists to choose from as we cast and produce our season. 4) A thriving hospitality industry as it pertains to our show nights. 5) Increase in sponsorship revenue. 6) More community artists involved as we continue to build on collaborations with various organization including other theatre companies, venues, Saint Cloud State University, Saint Benedict's and Saint John's, and musicians.1) SEASON TICKET PATRONS - This is the easiest to measure because our season ticket base is a very vocal group. They enjoy sharing their opinions whether it is through open dialogue on show nights, or through email, they are always eager and ready to challenge our staff. We also survey our season ticket holders annually to gain insight into what we can do better, what they enjoy about Pioneer Place Theatre Company, and how we can improve their theatre experiences. These surveys have proven to be invaluable in our decision-making process. 2) INDIVIDUAL TICKET PURCHASERS - Of course the easiest way to measure this group is through attendance figures and our financial statements. But we like to go a little deeper and in the February slot each year, we insert surveys into our programs for this group to fill out so we can measure their experiences, demographic, reasons for choosing to see particular shows, and most importantly - rate our marketing efforts. We have also gone to an on-line survey through Constant Contact that allows us to reach very specific groups who've attended our shows, thus giving us the opportunity to gain even more insight into this group's experiences. 3) ACTORS/DESIGNERS/MUSICIANS/TECHNCIANS - For actors, the best way to measure our success is through the audition process. For example, when we held auditions for Romeo and Juliet, 88 people attended in hopes of being cast in the show. That is an amazing number to choose a cast from. This is pretty typical when we announce our auditions, so we immediately know that people want to work at Pioneer Place Theatre Company. We also use exit surveys twice a season to gain feedback from the artists on things ranging from facilities to hospitality, and audience engagement to payment structures. These exit surveys are filled with honesty and have really shaped the way we treat and respect our artists. Our brand new artist handbook is a direct result of these surveys. 4) BUSINESS COMMUNITY - This is also a pretty easy one to measure in terms of hospitality feedback. When we have restaurant and hotel owners approaching us saying they had a great night because of a show we were producing, we know it's working for the larger business community. We can also measure our goal of reaching out to the Chamber and CVB by the number of groups we book for shows - especially touring bus groups. And in terms of the larger business community, the measurement of success comes from their willingness to support the work we do both financially through sponsorships. 5) GREATER ARTS COMMUNITY - Collaborations can be measured by simply asking: Are you doing them? We take great pride in our many existing artistic partnerships and this goal will continue as we work with various organizations throughout Central Minnesota on collaborative projects.","Throughout the course of the past year we had many success as well as a few challenges. Our season ticket patron goal was met as we renewed or brought in new members for a total of 422.

One of the key indicators is the level of turnover in our band. In other words, once a student starts with our band, how likely is it that they will return to play more than one year with us? Though we don't have an exact percentage, we know the vast majority of our students play with us multiple seasons and many will play with the band four years or more. We believe this is a definite indication of the value of the experience for these students. If the experience is not meeting their needs or the expectations of their parents, it is unlikely the students would continue in the program.We measure these goals by asking our band members and their parents. We formally and informally ask the members to evaluate the quality of the band's performances and the quality of their individual contributions, seeking their estimates of their growth in instrumental skills, improvisation, musical knowledge, and expectations of themselves as musicians and band members. At the end of the sessions, we periodically ask our students to formally review their band director and the support they received from the Association's program. The students do so by completing anonymous questionnaires. The results of these questionnaires are shared with the Board and the band's director.

We anticipate a schedule of ongoing performances, with perhaps an increased number of performances and collaborations during upcoming seasons to increase our visibility and gain more audience recognition. The number of young singers auditioning for a spot in Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota continues to increase each year. A proposed venture is to eventually add more performing groups, with ideas ranging from a small touring group to travel to area high schools for recruitment purposes, a small chamber group, and an all-womenÆs choir to allow more young women to participate. The latter venture - a WomenÆs Choir - is beginning to take shape, as the Board prepares to perform a search, and eventually hire, a new WomenÆs Choir Director, with an anticipated start date of July, 2012. With the added stability as an organization as a whole, guided by an experienced board, it is clear that the WomenÆs Choir, as well as the other small groups, are all now viable possibilities. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota expects to be able to continue its goal of commissioning a new work each season, thus adding a quality piece of repertoire to the choral world. Expansion of artistic and administrative staff will be continued in future seasons, with the hiring of interns to assist the Artistic Director and Executive Director. This provides additional training to college students anticipating careers in music education and arts management. We will benefit from the financial support of current Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota parents, alumni, the community, and our 100% giving Board of Directors.1.

The soil surveys must be done on a cost-share basis with local and federal funds.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,2875000,,250000,,,3.21,BWSR,"State Government","PROJECT OVERVIEW The Minnesota Soil Survey is an ongoing effort by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) that is systematically collecting and mapping data pertaining to soil types and other soil properties in each county of the state. To date, surveys for nearly all counties in the state have been completed. Soils data is used by governments, farmers, and other businesses for a number of purposes from protection and restoration of soil, water, wetlands, and habitats to agricultural productivity and soil management to building construction. This appropriation will complete the mapping and digitization of soil surveys for Crow Wing, Koochiching, Lake, Cook, and Saint Louis counties. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project, Completion of Statewide Digital Soil Survey, is the last in a series of projects to map and digitize all Minnesota soils. The Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) has supported the completion of a statewide soil survey since 1997. ENRTF's contribution of $3.5 million over 17 years leveraged $13.2 million from project partners including cooperating counties, the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), and the University of Minnesota. Soil surveys contain information essential to the management of natural resources. Soil surveys provide a field-based scientific inventory of soil resources, including soil maps, data about the physical and chemical properties of soils, and information on the potentials and limitations of each soil. Farmers, landowners, builders, county assessors, and natural resource managers depend on soil survey information to conduct business and protect natural resources. This project extended soil maps and data to millions of acres previously lacking comprehensive soil surveys. It is ideal to have 'seamless' soil data coverage regardless of land ownership (county, state, federal, or private). However, gaps exist in soil survey coverage due to these land ownership issues. This project focused on addressing portions of Minnesota with missing digital soils information; e.g., the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, the Superior National Forest, and Crow Wing County. At the end of the final mapping phase (NRCS contributions extend to 2016) Pine County and the Grand Portage Reservation will be the only unmapped areas in Minnesota. NRCS intends to map Pine County in the future, funded entirely by the NRCS. The mapping goal for the ENTRF funds was 400,000 acres. NRCS mapped over 2 million acres using ENTRF dollars and Federal funds. This included 207,546 acres in Crow Wing County; 470,000 in Lake and Cook Counties (outside Superior National Forest boundary); 793,725 acres in Lake, Cook, and St. Louis Counties (inside Superior National Forest boundary); and 600,000 in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

To date, surveys for nearly all counties in the state have been completed. Soils data is used by governments, farmers, and other businesses for a number of purposes from protection and restoration of soil, water, wetlands, and habitats to agricultural productivity and soil management to building construction. This appropriation will complete the mapping and digitization of soil surveys for Crow Wing, Koochiching, Lake, Cook, and Saint Louis counties. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project, Completion of Statewide Digital Soil Survey, is the last in a series of projects to map and digitize all Minnesota soils. The Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) has supported the completion of a statewide soil survey since 1997. ENRTF's contribution of $3.5 million over 17 years leveraged $13.2 million from project partners including cooperating counties, the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), and the University of Minnesota. Soil surveys contain information essential to the management of natural resources. Soil surveys provide a field-based scientific inventory of soil resources, including soil maps, data about the physical and chemical properties of soils, and information on the potentials and limitations of each soil. Farmers, landowners, builders, county assessors, and natural resource managers depend on soil survey information to conduct business and protect natural resources. This project extended soil maps and data to millions of acres previously lacking comprehensive soil surveys. It is ideal to have 'seamless' soil data coverage regardless of land ownership (county, state, federal, or private). However, gaps exist in soil survey coverage due to these land ownership issues. This project focused on addressing portions of Minnesota with missing digital soils information; e.g., the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, the Superior National Forest, and Crow Wing County. At the end of the final mapping phase (NRCS contributions extend to 2016) Pine County and the Grand Portage Reservation will be the only unmapped areas in Minnesota. NRCS intends to map Pine County in the future, funded entirely by the NRCS. The mapping goal for the ENTRF funds was 400,000 acres. NRCS mapped over 2 million acres using ENTRF dollars and Federal funds. This included 207,546 acres in Crow Wing County; 470,000 in Lake and Cook Counties (outside Superior National Forest boundary); 793,725 acres in Lake, Cook, and St. Louis Counties (inside Superior National Forest boundary); and 600,000 in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. All the spatial and tabular data collected during this project will be available on Web Soil Survey: www.websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov.

The winter Intergenerational Weekend took place February 10-12, 2012. Enrollment was a little less that expected (30); the April weekend has the capacity to make up the difference. The participants, almost all first-timers, provided positive feedback about all program components and the level of Dakota spoken was high. A total of five First Speakers were present. The second language development weekend for teachers of Dakota was held March 17 & 18. A core group of repet program staff members joined a few other teachers of Dakota in an enriching session that focused on hands-on learning, including the setting up of a tipi. Unusually nice spring wether contributed to outdoor activities. Given the more activity-focused approach to the weekend, language use, both formal as well as informal increased over the weekend. On the curriculum development front, the program planning and preparation meetings have been invaluable for the staff and significantly contribute to the program quality. Program staffs are documenting their activities as they go, which will greatly assist when combining the comprehensive curriculum later this spring.",,,,,,,,,"Public College/University","The purpose of this grant is to build on what was created with last year’s grant funding by creating a Dakota Language and culture institute.

Runoff contributions from drained lands into these drainage systems contribute pollutants and degrade downstream water quality. Public drainage systems are funded by assessing costs to the lands benefitting from the systems. The current framework upon which these assessments are determined is based on maximizing crop production and does not account for overall water resources impacts, so there is no incentive for landowners to implement conservation practices that reduce runoff contributions to the drainage systems. The Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources is using this appropriation to develop and test an alternative framework for funding public drainage systems that would reduce costs to landowners if they implement conservation strategies that promote infiltration and reduce runoff. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Agricultural drainage provides an essential service to farmers and producers across the Midwest. However, maintenance and improvements of the drainage system are very costly. Landowners are charged via taxation based on the amount of benefits they receive from the drainage system. Currently in Minnesota benefits are determined by professional ditch viewers. Little guidance is provided to them by the drainage code and the process is highly laborious. Benefits are currently assigned per parcel based on discrete benefit classes. Professional judgment is an inherent component of the assessment. The main focus of this project is to investigate potential methods to improve on the current practices. The project was particularly interested in exploring the usefulness of geographic and hydrologic modeling software to automate the process, to objectively identify benefits, and to incorporate conservation practices in assessments. Instead of using the current Minnesota method of discrete benefit classes, the project proposed a new method called the UM method based on drainage volume for each parcel. The UM method does not use professional judgment to assign benefit classes. The method does, however, require an estimate of the surface and subsurface drainage volume for each parcel. Applying these alternative methodologies prior to manual, in field assessments will likely save time and money in the assessment process. Knowledge of the corresponding reductions in drainage depth volume and fraction of benefits per parcel can be utilized as part of the decision making process of applying conservation drainage practices within a watershed.

","Approximately 75 percent of Minnesotans get their water for drinking and other needs from groundwater. A stable, long-term and reliable source of high quality groundwater is an economic benefit to communities. An atlas provides detailed information about an area's groundwater that helps communities find reliable water sources and manage them to maintain availability and quality for generations. Without informed water supply planning, groundwater pumping or land-use changes could impact public water quality and availability and degrade surface waters (wetlands, lakes, rivers, and unique resources such as trout streams and fens).

Drainage DB has the recipe for better data management and is a one stop web-based drainage management portal. Drainage DB allows the county to better manage information and be proactive on responding to drainage and water quality issues. Another advantage is that it allows county auditors and the Drainage Authority instant access to the data, providing more transparency and better-informed decision making. In addition to the Drainage DB, Faribault County SWCD also applied part of the CWF grant toward using advanced GIS techniques to develop a strategic plan for improving water quality through BMP implementation locations in a 117 square mile subwatershed of the East Branch Blue Earth River.

Over one-third of these miles are artificial drainage systems. Artificial drainage systems are necessary to remove excess precipitation and improve the productivity of agricultural land, however they also have a direct effect on the water quality and quantity of receiving waterbodies. With limited resources available to manage these systems, innovative and efficient management tools will play a critical role in targeting improvements for water quality. Faribault County has taken the first step toward improved technology and information access by inventorying and mapping all drainage systems, and making this data GIS accessible. This project will take the next step by creating a web based tool which will also provide an inventory of drainage maintenance needs. This web based tool will replace existing procedures and will allow users to quickly review a history of completed projects and identified priorities.

Most significantly, the two graduate students working on the project responded to the early public reactions to the dictionary, and joined faculty in creating public awareness of the new resource for the Ojibwe language. Also, the PI for the grant, Department of American Indian Studies Chair, Professor Brenda Child, organized a large public event on the U of M campus to formally launch the dictionary, with about one hundred people in attendance. The public launch also involved extensive media interviews, and Child appeared on public television and radio shows, and gave interviews to a number of newpapers, including the Pioneer Press and Star Tribune. The Ojibwe People's Dictionary builds upon the scholarly work of A Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe (Nichols, Nyholm), a book widely used in Ojibwe communities of the United States and Canada. The dictionary will be useful in Ojibwe languages classes, especially those taught at the University of Minneosta's Twin-Cities and Duluth campuses, MNSCU campuses, and tribal colleges.

Founded in 1926 to help disabled veterans recover from World War I, the non-profit, campground relies on donations and volunteers to host most activities that provide relief and recreation. With so many more Guard and Reserve deployments, more veterans and their families are turning to the camp for family fund and recreation while their loved one is deployed and during the transition back to civilian life. The DVRC will use grant funds to construct a bathhouse and shelter building to replace the antiquated and non-accessible communal bathhouse facilities that currently serve over 140 RV and camping sites for veterans and their families. The building will also serve as a storm shelter. The proposed bathhouse and shelter will ensure safe and fully accessible use of these facilities for veterans, disabled veterans, and their families, as well as a multipurpose structure for meetins, children's art, recreation and other facilities. Within the shelter, a Heritage Wall will explain the history of the DVRC. The central location of the shelter, near the camp canteen, will form a courtyard between the two structures and a welcoming entrance to the site.

In 1850 over 100 Swedish immigrants came to America and settled in the area. The Lindstrom Park Board decided on erecting three statutes to honor three immigrants (Per Andersson, Daniel Lindstrom and Erik Norelius) within the City of Lindstrom because of their significant contributions to settling Minnesota and the Chisago Lakes region. However, it was decided to add a female Swedish immigrant to the collection of sculptures and local midwife, Nelly Gustafson, was chosen. The East Central Regional Library Legacy Committee approved the Nelly project in 2012. Nelly was a University trained midwife and served the area for many years and is buried in Fairview Cemetery in Lindstrom. The sculpture will provide dialog amongst its viewers, help to facilitate their understanding of sculpture as an art form and rekindle an interest in Swedish culture and heritage in the regions. The program held by Ian Dudley at the installation ceremony gave the audience an overview of the project along with the sculpture making process. The project was collaboration between many partners including Chisago County, the City of Lindstrom, the Chisago Lakes Library Commission, the Chisago County Historical Society and the Friends of the Chisago County Library. All were committed to making the project a successful one that would honor and educate the community about its Swedish heritage. Comments from those who have seen the sculpture and/or attended the unveiling were pleased that a local artist was chosen to do the sculpture thus supporting both the cultural and economic solidarity of the region. It also served as a continuing education piece as stated by one individual's comments: ""wonderful story, history and tribute to midwifery. Your gift and talent, Mr. Dudley, is amazing. It is interesting and a ""timely"" statue of Nelly because of the recent PBS series called ""The Midwife"". It gave more meaning to the dedication for me to learn about these courageous, pioneering women. I am glad the Chisago Lakes Library has the honor of displaying Nelly. Thank you so much."" Larry Yazzie and the Native Pride Dancers Native American culture is important not only to the East Central Regional Library region but all of Minnesota. Many of our regional counties have a large Native American population, yet many of our library patrons and residents are unaware of their culture and traditions. We invited Larry Yazzie and the Native Pride Dancers to perform workshops at two local schools and perform evening concerts for the general public. In March of 2013 they presented four educational workshops (3 at the Chisago Lakes High School and 1 at the Chisago Lakes Area Library) followed by an evening performance at the Chisago Lakes High School Performing Arts Center with a troupe of 4 dancers which included storytelling, music and dance. A similar program was held at the East Central High School and Performing Arts Center in Finlayson, MN. Eight workshops along with two assemblies were held over a period of two days following by an evening performance. These took place in February 2014. These were both excellent examples of school and library partnerships and collaboration. We were able to bring an educational, cultural and professional program to the schools that they could not manage within their own budget. It allowed students, teachers and the community to have the opportunity to learn about diverse and multicultural people and artists. If they didn't learn anything else, the students learned that there are 565 federally recognized tribes in the U.S. It was the most stated comment on our surveys by the students attending the workshops. The performances truly opened up their ""eyes and their world"" to another culture. The students ""learned more about their history"" and ""more about the removal Act or Relocation Act. The really sad part was the schools and what they did to the children"" or in another student's words, ""how the government screwed them"". One student even admitted to his own prejudices as he stated, ""I learned that despite my apparent prejudices, indigenous traditions are as interesting as the traditions of any other culture"" and ""not all stereotypes are true"". Library Day at the Fair Almost every child remembers going to their local county fair. This legacy project provided us with a unique partnership with the Kanabec County Fair through the Kanabec County Agricultural Society. As the Minnesota State Fair promotes a ""Library Day"" each year, we felt this would be a great opportunity to do a local promotion. On one day during the fair, the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund provided funding for three 45-60 minute shows that included an aerialist, a fire eater and a sideshow act on July 25, 2013. The first show was held in the morning at the Mora Public Library and included a brief history of the circus along with a hands-on workshop. The highlight, however, were the performances in the afternoon at the Kanabec County Fairgrounds which included the more daring and exciting acts (aerialist, fire­ eater, eating light bulbs, and mind reader). Individuals commented that it was ""first rate and versatile"" and ""it was awesome."" Whether you found it fascinating or freaky, it was a unique and rare program and partnership that brought two unlikely entities together.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2014, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,250000,,,5.06,"Dept. of Agriculture","State Government","PROJECT OVERVIEW The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive insect that has been decimating ash trees throughout the Great Lake states and is currently advancing into Minnesota where it threatens the nearly 1 billion ash trees that occur throughout the state - the second most in any state. Loss of these trees would devastate ecosystems throughout Minnesota and have major economic impacts for the forest products industry as well as through the costs associated with treatment, removal, and replacement of lost trees. Biological control - the use of a natural enemy of a species from its native habitat to help with control of that species - is currently the only promising long-term management strategy for EAB. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is using this appropriation to pilot and assess the effectiveness of a biocontrol method for EAB in Minnesota that involves the use of three types of tiny, stingless wasps that are parasitoids of EAB. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS We made great progress with the biological control for emerald ash borer (EAB) in Phase 1 of this project. We simultaneously released wasps that parasitize EAB while we studied them. EAB can kill ash trees quickly (within 6 years). We have responded rapidly to EAB finds so that we might avoid large numbers of EAB over extensive areas, a situation that would be difficult to manage effectively. At the same time, we studied the parasitoid wasps to understand their cold tolerance and dispersal capability. Our studies improved our implementation strategies. Over 127,000 parasitoid wasps were released at 21 sites in the Twin Cities and southeastern Minnesota. Recovery of immature parasitoids in the field demonstrated that these agents are dispersing then finding and parasitizing EAB. We will continue releases in Phase 2. Research efforts demonstrated that the egg parasitoid, Oobius agrili, is the most cold tolerant and the larval parasitoid, Tetrastichus planipennisi, is the least cold tolerant. Therefore, we began releasing T. planipennisi earlier in the season to allow multiple generations to build a population sufficient to withstand anticipated cold induced mortality losses. We learned that T. planipennisi is capable of dispersing almost 5 miles within 24 hours but that most will fly 3/4 miles in 24 hours. Therefore, we began releasing T. planipennisi over a large area at a release site rather than at a central cluster to enable faster T. planipennisi dispersal. Research efforts trained a total of six graduate students, five undergraduate students, and three technicians in whole or in part on these projects. We will continue a study of ash health, EAB, and parasitoid wasps in the Twin Cities area where EAB was first found in 2009. To date, ash mortality within the study area has been substantially lower than anticipated. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Information about this project has been and will continue to be disseminated to the public, land managers and researchers. Media releases (3) and social media were utilized to inform the public of major developments. There were 15 scientific presentations to researchers and land managers. Additional training presentations (24) were given to the public, professional land managers, and tree care professionals at many venues. Outreach at public events (20) helped us to connect with people about our activities. Two research papers on parasitoid cold tolerance were published.

Loss of these trees would devastate ecosystems throughout Minnesota and have major economic impacts for the forest products industry as well as through the costs associated with treatment, removal, and replacement of lost trees. Biological control - the use of a natural enemy of a species from its native habitat to help with control of that species - is currently the only promising long-term management strategy for EAB. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is using this appropriation to pilot and assess the effectiveness of a biocontrol method for EAB in Minnesota that involves the use of three types of tiny, stingless wasps that are parasitoids of EAB. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS We made great progress with the biological control for emerald ash borer (EAB) in Phase 1 of this project. We simultaneously released wasps that parasitize EAB while we studied them. EAB can kill ash trees quickly (within 6 years). We have responded rapidly to EAB finds so that we might avoid large numbers of EAB over extensive areas, a situation that would be difficult to manage effectively. At the same time, we studied the parasitoid wasps to understand their cold tolerance and dispersal capability. Our studies improved our implementation strategies. Over 127,000 parasitoid wasps were released at 21 sites in the Twin Cities and southeastern Minnesota. Recovery of immature parasitoids in the field demonstrated that these agents are dispersing then finding and parasitizing EAB. We will continue releases in Phase 2. Research efforts demonstrated that the egg parasitoid, Oobius agrili, is the most cold tolerant and the larval parasitoid, Tetrastichus planipennisi, is the least cold tolerant. Therefore, we began releasing T. planipennisi earlier in the season to allow multiple generations to build a population sufficient to withstand anticipated cold induced mortality losses. We learned that T. planipennisi is capable of dispersing almost 5 miles within 24 hours but that most will fly 3/4 miles in 24 hours. Therefore, we began releasing T. planipennisi over a large area at a release site rather than at a central cluster to enable faster T. planipennisi dispersal. Research efforts trained a total of six graduate students, five undergraduate students, and three technicians in whole or in part on these projects. We will continue a study of ash health, EAB, and parasitoid wasps in the Twin Cities area where EAB was first found in 2009. To date, ash mortality within the study area has been substantially lower than anticipated. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Information about this project has been and will continue to be disseminated to the public, land managers and researchers. Media releases (3) and social media were utilized to inform the public of major developments. There were 15 scientific presentations to researchers and land managers. Additional training presentations (24) were given to the public, professional land managers, and tree care professionals at many venues. Outreach at public events (20) helped us to connect with people about our activities. Two research papers on parasitoid cold tolerance were published. An additional two papers on parasitoid dispersal are anticipated. In addition, we participate in the EAB Forum, a multi-agency/organization venue for discussing EAB management.

A primary concern about harvesting forest biomass to generate renewable energy is the long-term impacts these harvests will have on soil nutrients and long-term ecosystem production, such as forest growth, carbon storage, and wildlife habitat. With this appropriation, scientists at the University of Minnesota's Department of Forest Resources are evaluating the ecological impacts of forest biomass harvesting in northern Minnesota. Results from this effort will be used by the energy industry and forestry professionals in both the public and private sector to guide long-term management that maximizes harvesting without negatively impacting forest productivity and ecological integrity. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Minnesota's forests are currently being viewed as potential feedstocks for production of renewable energy. A primary concern about harvesting forest biomass to generate renewable energy is the long-term impacts these harvests will have on soil nutrients and long-term ecosystem productivity, particularly in forests growing on nutrient poor soils. This project was designed to increase our understanding of the ecological impacts of biomass harvesting through establishment of a network of research sites in forests on nutrient poor soils. Treatments representing various levels of biomass removal and live-tree retention were implemented at four large-scale (80 acre) research sites in Becker, Hubbard, and Wadena Counties and were used to evaluate the importance of post-harvest slash and live-tree retention in maintaining the resilience and sustainability of jack pine forests under different biomass harvesting regimes. Treatments included current site-level guidelines for slash retention to allow for evaluations of the effectiveness of this practice at reducing impacts on long-term soil nutrients and forest vegetation. Field measurements from these sites were used to model the long-term effects of repeated biomass removals on ecosystem productivity. Results from this project indicate that there is no difference in post-harvest slash levels between areas in which slash was retained to meet current site-level guidelines and in places in which whole trees were harvested (i.e., no slash deliberately retained). The overall levels of slash retention in these areas were half those found after similar treatments in aspen-dominated forests on nutrient rich sites, highlighting the potential for greater nutrient depletion following biomass harvesting on nutrient poor sites and suggest a need for refinement of site-level guidelines to increase retention levels for nutrient poor soils. Long-term field data and model results indicate that biomass harvests that retain less than 40% of available residues may result in lower soil carbon stocks after several harvest rotations. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< The results of this project have been shared on numerous occasions with resource professionals, policy makers, citizens, and scientists over the past three years in efforts to inform forest conservation decisions regarding biomass harvesting impacts. These dissemination activities have included the development of a fact sheet for LCCMR members that was distributed on the LCCMR tour of Itasca State Park on July 18, 2013. In addition, an overview of the project and results were shared with private forest landowners through a University of Minnesota Extension Webinar to private forest landowners and county, state, and federal natural resource managers on December 9, 2013, as well as through a meeting of the Forest Operations and Planning Section of the Minnesota DNR Division of Forestry on January 8, 2014. Results were also presented at the Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Minneapolis, MN on August 5, 2013.

It became apparent that the region creates few opportunities for children to engage in self-directed learning experiences in social settings; in particular, opportunities that create access to arts, culture, and heritage. This is still true today. Relying on organizations in the Twin Cities to provide arts access and arts education in hard to reach rural communities is not sustainable and will not achieve significant reach to these under-served communities. The Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota presents a unique opportunity to significantly increase, sustain, and grow access to informal learning for a large portion of greater Minnesota. As a growing regional resource, CMSM is committed to working toward the Legacy Fund goals of actively creating opportunities for all Minnesotans to get directly connected to the diverse arts, culture, and heritage of Minnesota. Legacy Funding presents an opportunity to overcome barriers of access. CMSM's proposal makes the most of these opportunities by engaging the public, and those with the most barriers to participation, in the exhibit development process; and by connecting more families to Minnesota's arts, culture, and heritage.","The Greater Mankato family population is booming, and according to the last census, overall population has increased 21%. However, the population of many rural counties in our region is shrinking. Since its founding through the passion of early childhood specialists in 2006, CMSM has been a community resource dedicated to taking a well thought out approach to developing learning experiences with the involvement of children, families, and folks throughout the community. From the volunteer developed initial traveling exhibits, to the community made TapeScape featured in Exhibit Files, to the development of an innovative Learning Experience Master Plan, CMSM has been built on community engagement. Involved decision makers include CMSM's board of directors, steering committee, learning experience advisory committee, access and outreach committee, City Center Partnership, Greater Mankato Area United Way, staff, consultants, and many others. An environmental scan, feasibility study, case studies, surveys, and evaluations have all concluded that informal learning experiences, especially those fostering creativity, are needed in southern Minnesota. You would be hard pressed to find southern Minnesotans say that we have too many, or even enough, informal learning opportunities, especially those which highlight arts, culture, and heritage.",,2011-12-12,2012-11-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Peter,Olson,"Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota","PO Box 3103",Mankato,MN,56002,,peter.olson@cmsouthernmn.org,"Demonstration/Pilot Project, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Planning","Minnesota Humanities Center",,"Blue Earth, Brown, Cottonwood, Faribault, Freeborn, Jackson, Le Sueur, Martin, Nicollet, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Scott, Sibley, Steele, Waseca, Watonwan",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/experience-development-project-segment-i,,,,

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2014, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,200000,,,10.98,"Hennepin County","Local/Regional Government","PROJECT OVERVIEW Many inner-city youth receive little, if any, exposure to outdoor and environmental education. This lack of exposure has implications for children's health as well as their knowledge about science, the environment, and the world. In the long term this also impacts the broad public awareness and understanding necessary to ensure long-term protection and stewardship of our environment and natural resources. Hennepin County is using this appropriation to develop a new program called UrbanWatch that will aim to provide hands-on, experiential outdoor learning experiences to inner-city students in North Minneapolis in order to increase their knowledge and skills relating to ecology, agriculture, water resources, and biological diversity. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS TIn 2011, Hennepin County Environmental Services was awarded $200,000 from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for the UrbanWatch program. The goal of this program was to implement outdoor experiential environmental education in Minneapolis schools and communities that have traditionally been lacking in environmental programs. UrbanWatch brought a collective of proven curricula, activities, and tools to empower teachers and at-risk students to explore, monitor, and protect environmental resources. The county partnered with five community organizations - Beez Kneez, Environmental Justice Advocates of Minnesota, Minnesota Internship Center High School, Phyllis Wheatley Community Center, and the Renewables Research and Policy Institute - to provide hands-on outdoor environmental activities to youth living in the near north side of Minneapolis. The county partnered with the University of Minnesota Extension and the Beez Kneez to host the ""Schoolyard Garden Sustainability and Support Teacher Workshop"" held in March 2014. Working in conjunction with STEM coordinators and the Farm to School coordinator from Minneapolis Public Schools, the workshop provided curriculum instruction and educational resources to educators on how to maximize the potential of schoolyard gardens within the classroom. The program increased youth's knowledge and skills regarding ecology, agriculture, water resources, and biological diversity in their own neighborhoods. These experiences equipped students and community members with the information necessary for healthier communities, a greater sense of stewardship, and increased appreciation for their natural world. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATIONMore than five hundred and fifty youth have been directly engaged.More than twenty organizations, schools, businesses, and faith communities partnered in this program.Eight gardens established.Two beehives established.Two public art installations completed.One toolshed built using compressed earth block construction.Two aquaponics labs established in schools.7 Master gardeners paired with schools and their gardens.Pollinator curriculum written and published for grades K-12.25 unique classes and outings implemented for youth.More than 10 newsletters distributed highlighting program successes.More than 30 presentations to students, staff, and community members developed and given.Resources for 30 teachers/schools established for garden classrooms.14 Teachers attended garden workshop.465 students reached through workshop, 3140-7340 youth hours spent in gardens spring 2014.",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Mary,Karius,"Hennepin County - Environmental Services","417 N 5th St, Ste 200",Minneapolis,MN,55401,"(612) 596-9129",mary.karius@co.hennepin.mn.us,Education/Outreach/Engagement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/experiential-environmental-education-urban-youth,,,,

In one performance during A Passage to China at the Mall of America, the Northfield Youth Choir, Carleton College Choir, and Carleton College Chinese Music Ensemble performed to an audience of over 400 people. Audience, performers, presenters, and students response was all used to evaluate the success of my program. I transcribed Zhi Hua Buddhist temple music from recording and then into Western notation, and have posted some of it online. I arranged dozens of scores for Chinese and Western ensembles and choir, and participated in performances of them at the local Chinese community’s “Passages to China” at the Mall of America, Carleton College, Northfield Middle School, Northfield Buddhist Meditation Center, the University of Minnesota, and McNally Smith College. I also lectured at the schools involved and taught the music to the choirs and musicians. The “Passages of China” performance included 90 total performers from the Northfield Youth Choir and Carleton College Choir and Chinese Music Ensemble. This event was stellar in magnitude and supported by the entire Twin Cities Chinese community. It took months of planning and included over 55 participating organizations that were showcasing Chinese culture for the Chinese community and general public. All events helped preserve the temple music and bring it to the general public in performance. The music was also preserved trough transcriptions from recordings I put into Western notation for the first time ever and have made available for mass audiences by posting them online at www.chinesepipa.com/zhihuascores.html. 2: All events were well attended, but “Passages to China” especially increased the participation of Minnesotans with over 90 choir members and instrumentalists performing the temple music I transcribed and arranged. Participants were chosen by those who had shown interest in the past (both choirs, the Chinese music ensemble, and community groups I lectured to). The main barrier was the fact that the pieces were sung in Chinese.

Rag rug weaving is a form of art that is easily started. There aren't a lot of up-front costs and, while it takes many years to master, basic skills can be learned in a short time. Artists can begin seeing results right away. This project introduced this art form to a new generation of artists and strengthened the existing Fiber Arts Guild organization. There are more people creating and appreciating this art form because of this project. We measured comments from participants about whether they would continue to study and perform the art and if they attend further seminars/exhibits. We can now keep in contact with them about further education opportunities. Furthermore, the Fiber Arts Guild added new members, reactivated three old ones and made valuable new contacts with other rag rug enthusiasts and groups. 2: We asked participants if they had ever attended a seminar/class about rag rug weaving prior to this event and found that this event was unique to our region. Many had not attended any folk arts event prior to our event. We also asked participants which level they considered themselves to be at artistically. We also measured how many participants would be interested in further classes/seminars. A high number (over 85 %) indicated they were. Finally, we asked participants what they would do with the knowledge they learned. All of them indicated they were going to continue to explore the art form and/or join a group advocating and teaching the art. Finally, this project was a giant learning experience for the Fiber Arts Guild. They learned valuable skills in how to present and teach their art, how to generate interest and plan an event. They are already planning smaller events to continue to grow. This experience has taught them how to reach beyond their group and share their passion.",,5895,"Other, local or private",19095,2025,"Harlan Tardy, Carly Melin, Paul Janssen, Rally Hess, Shelly Robinson, Jim Perunovich, Bonnie Fena, Darrin Stender, Lisa Kvas, Larry Killien.",0.5,"Ironworld Development Corporation AKA Minnesota Discovery Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Folk and Traditional Arts",,"The Minnesota Discovery Center and the Range Fiber Arts Guild are partnering to present a six-month art exhibit featuring interactive displays of the rug weaving process, weaving's influence on regional art, and weaving's significance to the history and c",2012-07-01,2013-02-28,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Mai,Vang,"Ironworld Development Corporation AKA Minnesota Discovery Center","1005 Discovery Dr",Chisholm,MN,55719,"(800) 372-6437 ",mai.vang@mndiscoverycenter.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"St. Louis, Aitkin, Lake, Cook, Itasca, Aitkin",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/folk-and-traditional-arts-18,"Jewell Arcoren: Program director, First Nations Composer Initiative.; Kristina Clark: Director of programs and exhibits, American Swedish Institute.

Iny Asian Dance Theater successfully hosted the Folk Arts project – “Preservation of Hmong Dance.” We have successfully reached our Vision of the Preservation project, that is - Bringing the Hmong Traditional Dances to Life: Sharing Hmong cultures and talents to build a better community. EVALUATION METHOD. Our Project is a great success, with more than 123 dancers participating at Hmong Dance training, eight community performances and a final Hmong Dance Drama – “Longing for Qeej,” where 500+ audiences cheered non-stop at Central High School Auditorium, St Paul. After the Central High Performances, we hosted feedback session right away with all dancers, parents and invited audience to join us for evaluation. We have also utilized the social media (blog) to collect feedback from the audience. TARETED GROUP - Hmong Americans. MATCHES INTENDED PARTICIPANTS. We have successfully matched our project participants. Led by the Iny Asian Dance Theater’s Artistic Director, Iny Mai Vang Xiong, our Project has successfully included following activities: a) Weekly FREE Hmong Dance Lessons for 123 youth in different levels; b) Researching the Hmong Dances with a pilot website to publicize the information with photos; b) Hosting a Hmong Dance Symposium at August 16, 2012 at Concordia College to discuss the transformation of Hmong Dances; c) Master Classes with the award-winning Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County Song and Dance Troupe from China, to learn the traditional music and dance from Li and Miao (Hmong) ethnicities in October, 2012, and performed the opening dance for their show at University of Minnesota’s Ted Mann Hall, with the Qeej dance (Traditional Hmong Bamboo music instrument); e) Presenting through eight community performances at local Schools, New Year Celebrations and Festivals (ex. May 20th, 2012 Pan Asian Arts Festival; and f) Presenting a Final Hmong Dance Drama – Longing for Qeej, at December 19, 2012 at Central High School. 2: INTERPRETATION - To truly honor the Hmong traditional dance arts, we have ample opportunities throughout the training and performances for the participants and audience to learn about the cultural origins of Hmong dance. The Hmong Dance Symposium invited three scholars: Guohua Jin (Artistic Director of Canadian Asian Folk Dance Studio); Pei Shen (Executive Director of East Cultural Center); and Kaiwen You (Artistic Director of the China Dance School and Theatre in San Francisco), to present and host discussion with audience with the topic - Hmong Dance Transformation from China to United States. Additionally, we have publicized Dr. Nengher Vang’s paper, “History of Hmong Dance,” in the Program Booklet to enhance community understanding and awareness of Hmong traditional dances. BARRIERS. For many centuries, the Hmong language was firmly an oral type of communication. There was no alphabet system, no written texts, and no cultural activation to need a literacy system. Cultural aspects and learning was passed on to the next generation from memory and oral wisdom. In the early 1950s, a group of French American missionary-linguists developed a method of writing Hmong words that used the same letters as the English language. Within ten years, it became very popular, and remains to this day the most widely used writing system for the Hmong people. Due to the newly developed language, many Hmong dances have neither a systemic way to document the arts, nor any research to valid its authenticity. STRATEGIES OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS. Our project has utilized following strategies: a) Outreaching to Hmong 18 Clan Council for support and cultural relevancy; b) Posting training and performance information at Hmong Village and Hmong Stores; c) Offering free classes.",,17500,"Other, local or private",92500,17412,"Linda Hashimoto van Dooijeweert, Ange Hwang, Kia Moua,Iny Mai Vang Xiong, Mee Xiong",1.5,"Iny Asian Dance Theater AKA Minnesota Sunshine Dance","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Folk and Traditional Arts",,"Iny Asian Dance Theater researches, documents, preserves, and presents Hmong traditional dances, with folk artists Dao Lan and Mai Vang, through dance manuscripts; master classes; video/audio recording; web presentation with educational materials; and per",2012-03-05,2013-03-04,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Mai,Vang,"Iny Asian Dance Theater AKA Minnesota Sunshine Dance","1865 Major Dr","Golden Valley",MN,55422,"(651) 855-8820 ",mainvangss@amamedia.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/folk-and-traditional-arts-17,"Jewell Arcoren: Program director, First Nations Composer Initiative.; Kristina Clark: Director of programs and exhibits, American Swedish Institute.

The weekend occurred from Friday evening through Sunday afternoons at the U of M Cloquet Forestry Center. Typically three elder-first speakers, one faculty instructor, three staff participants and twelve to fourteen student participants attended for the entire weekend and spoke only Ojibwe. Most participants were college students studying the language or Ojibwe language teachers in college programs or immersion programs. Lectures, small group interaction, one-on-one instruction, games,a nd outings in the surrounding woods and fields comprised the activites of the weekends. The Ojibwe language instructor at FDLTCC, Dan Jones, and a group of 3-4 beginning level language students joined the group of intermediate to advanced college students and Ojibwe language teachers on Saturday afternoon and occasionally into Saturday evenings. Combining these two objectives has proven to be the best way to utilize the resources available to provide an immersion experience to a wide range of levels of language learners. The immersion weekends provided the students and staff with opportunities to work with a total of eleven fluent first language speakers. This in intself was quite remarkable. These speakers included elders with whom the majority of students had already worked with during hte three week immersion academy in Summer of 2011. The sense of community that developed helped everone feel more comfortable with the immersion experience, which can be overwhelming at times. Project staff also brought in new first speakers to expose the students to a variety of dialects and expand our growing network of resource people. The first speakers will be valuable teachers and resource persons in the uupcoming immersion academy to be held July 8, 2012. Fluent first language speakers during the weekends included: Mary and Leonard Moose, Gordon Jourdain, Nancy Jones, Rose Marie Allen, Lillian Boshey, Gerrie Howard, Leona Wakonabo, Larry Smallwood,and Eugene Stillday. The connections formed with these first language speakers are some of the most important outcomes of these weekends. Their vast knowledge of the Ojibwe language and eagerness to pass it on to younger learners made them a critical part of this immersion program and we look forward to more work with them as we move forward. U of M's faculty membert, Dr. Brendan Fairbanks particpated actively in the immersion weekends, assisting project staff with planning and facilitating the sessions. Professor Fairbanks also provided grammatical instruction during the evenings when students were no longer working with first speakers. This provided a nice balance of hearing, speaking, and grammatical instruction through the day. Professor Fairbanks's involvment and knowledge of second language acquisition helped to enhance the immersion experience for all and his dedicated involvement was appreciated by everyone. The second volume of Awesiiyensag, entitled Naadamaading: Dibaajimowinan Ji-nisdotaading is in the final stages of publication. As with the earlier volume, this collection of stories depicts Ojibwe beliefs and cultural values in lively stories about animals that represent each traditional clan. During the MIAC grant period, editing, illustration, layout, proofing, and final preparation for printing has been completed. The manuscript is now at the printer. All encumbrances and payment of contracts have been completed and the book will be distributed this summer and fall.

This appropriation is being used to better understand the numbers, distribution, migration routes, and habitat needs of golden eagles in Minnesota. This information will inform natural resource management decisions and be used to educate landowners and the general public about golden eagles in the state. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The Golden Eagle Survey Project represents groundbreaking research on a bird that was previously not thought to be a regular inhabitant of Minnesota. Through field observations and telemetry, the Golden Eagle Survey Project is expanding the understanding of population, distribution, habitats, habitat use, migration routes, breeding areas, and management needs of the population of golden eagles that winter in Minnesota. Annual surveys coordinated by the Golden Eagle Survey Project have documented a regular migratory population using the bluffland subsection of the Paleozoic Plateau in southeast Minnesota in winter. During annual winter surveys in 2012-2014, an average of 36 golden eagles have been observed in Minnesota's blufflands. Using satellite telemetry to track golden eagles, the Project is expanding the world's knowledge of the range, location of breeding territories, and migration routes of this previously unstudied population. One golden eagle, #46, was released in January 2011 with a GPS satellite-linked transmitter. The Project tracked #46 for more than 950 days, from his release in Wabasha County and his migrations to Nunavut, Canada and back to wintering range in southeast Minnesota. Data collected on golden eagle habitat use, preferred prey, and range will be used to ensure appropriate management and conservation action to protect critical wintering habitat for golden eagles in Minnesota. Thousands of people have learned about the presence of golden eagles in Minnesota through the Golden Eagle Survey Project's outreach to landowners, wildlife managers and the general public. In programs at the National Eagle Center and throughout the state, the Golden Eagle Project increased awareness and understanding of golden eagles as regular winter inhabitants of the blufflands region. The Project's outreach to conservation professionals and the general public continues to broaden awareness of this unique species in Minnesota. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< Golden Eagle Survey Project data are publicly available on the National Eagle Center's website. Since January, 2012, the National Eagle Center's website has seen nearly 30,000 unique visits to the Golden Eagle Survey Project information pages. Here visitors learn about the presence of golden eagles in Minnesota, view data and project maps, and learn how they can get involved in efforts to understand and conserve golden eagles in Minnesota. In addition, updates on golden eagle tracking are posted on social media outlets, reaching an audience of more than 10,000 followers. Detailed data from field observations, Annual Wintering Golden Eagle Surveys, and telemetry are made available to researchers and others upon request. Thus far, we have shared this data with at least one utility seeking information on golden eagle migration and habitat use in siting transmission lines. The Golden Eagle Survey Project has been regularly featured in regional news media throughout the Project's duration. An attached list highlights some of the regional news stories about the Golden Eagle Survey Project. Links to the story are provided where available. In 2013, the Golden Eagle Project shared in the US Forest Service's Wings Across America award for work as part of the Eastern Golden Eagle Working Group.

Through State Library Services, a division of the Minnesota Department of Education, each regional public library system receives a formula-driven allocation from the annual $3 million Minnesota Regional Library Legacy Grant. Great River Regional Library (GRRL) is a consolidated regional public library system in central Minnesota. GRRL has thirty-two branch public libraries located in six counties: Benton, Morrison, Sherburne, Stearns, Todd, and Wright. With Arts and Cultural Heritage funds, GRRL and its member libraries present an array of arts, cultural, literary, and Minnesota history programs in collaboration with arts and cultural organizations, independent artists, historical societies, and community organizations.  Programs contribute to the cultural vitality of the region and build a lasting legacy. ",,"Great River Regional Library accomplished a number of highly successful programs in fiscal year 2013. The largest undertaking was a performance by Stroia Ballet of ""Peter & the Wolf,"" a fully narrated ballet specifically for children. GRRL sent children from 17 schools to the performance, and tickets were also used by area families who homeschool their children. There were four performances on two dates in April, with nearly all 700 seats full for each performance. One attendee wrote, ""Today we were able to go to the Paramount to watch the ballet of Peter and the Wolf. It was very extraordinary! Today we also learned the five positions in ballet. The costumes were fabulous! The whole show was just so tremendous! Thank you for our tickets."" GRRL also contracted with Paynesville-based artist Jennifer Anfinson to offer art workshops at various branches throughout the year.

",,"This program incorporates the basic concepts of sustainability and ecosystem management. Minnesota has lost 99% of the original prairie and has seen dramatic declines in grassland dependent wildlife. Examples of the species showing the greatest conservation need in the Program area; the American Badger, Grasshopper Sparrow, and Bobolink to name just a few. Traditional game species are also affected by the decline in habitat such as pheasants, deer, wild turkey, and a variety of dabbling ducks which are associated to prairie wetland complexes.Publicly owned natural resource infrastructures (WMA, AMA, SNA, parks/trails, waterways) invigorates local and regional economies by providing outdoor recreation and tourism opportunities supported by hunting, fishing, wildlife observation areas, and other forms of outdoor recreation. New business concepts are likely to arise as a direct result of the recreational and tourism opportunities that will be advanced by this Green Corridor Legacy Program. Because of this concept there is wide support from many stakeholders who will assist the Program activities to achieve the desired outcomes.The Glacial River Warren created the Minnesota River Valley as it drained Lake Agassiz 10,000+ years ago. The bluff to bluff wall of water carved out one of Minnesota’s most scenic landscapes, creating unique geological features, and unique plant communities along the valley and its primary tributaries.Efforts to restore, protect, and enhance our wetlands, prairies, forests, and habitat for fish, game, and wildlife are timely as escalating development pressures threaten remaining natural lands and water resources on both public and private lands. The Green Corridor Legacy Program approach will be based on sound science concepts of plan development, setting conservation priorities, developing short and long term strategies to achieve conservation priorities, implement the strategies, and then continue monitoring the outcomes. All of these concepts and practices will follow existing state wildlife and conservation plans and natural resource management practices in conjunction with agency partners.The primary work area of the Green Corridor Legacy Program will be Redwood, Renville, Yellow Medicine, Chippewa, Brown, Nicollet, Murray, Lyon, and Cottonwood Counties with an emphasis along the Minnesota River, its tributaries, associated watersheds, and creating/expanding corridor or complexes of habitat. Connecting existing fragments of habitat along and near the Minnesota River and tributaries in the Program area will generate an ecological synergism that will allow game, wildlife, and aquatic species to flourish, while creating multiple recreational opportunities and improving public access through a series (phases) of funded activities within the nine (9) county Program area.This Program is directly consistent with the uses of the Outdoor Heritage Fund, as specified in Article XI of the Minnesota Constitution and Minnesota Statute 97A.056: to restore, protect, and enhance wetlands, prairies, forests, and habitat for fish, game, and wildlife. Furthermore, it will produce multiple conservation benefits across a large targeted and planned geographic area.Final Report: This program acquired 3 properties at total of 315 acres in our planned Lamberton area corridor that meets the above mentioned concepts and activities that produced multiple conservation benefits. 1) The Dutch Charleys Creek WMA project acquired 79 acres of which 39 acres where donated by the landowner at a value of $51,960. The property borders the eastern side of Dutch Charleys Creek and is a well documented wintering area for wildlife like deer, turkey, and pheasants. This property also connects to a FY10 OHF Green Corridor project of 83 acres. 2) Gora Praire WMA is 154 acre site that protected an expiring CRP contract and also protected small remnants of native prairie. 3) The Lamberton WMA #23 project of 80 acres of which 12 acres where donated by the landowner at a value of $16,000. This tract also protected an expiring CRP contract. This project also connects to a 90 acre FY11 OHF project by Green Corridor.This program year marked a time when land values were escalating and when many CRP contracts in the area were expiring. One high valued site of nearly 200 acres was pursued as part of this appropriation and after a tremendous amount of time/effort to work out details with the property owner no deal was reached. Overall, the Green Corridor Program received amazing support from our willing landowners as noted by their land donations, We also received strong support/encouragement from the DNR area wildlife manager and the regional DNR office in the planning/evaluation of potential sites and we also had the support of local units of government and several local wildlife conservation groups.",2011-07-20,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brad,Cobb,"Redwood Area Communities Foundation (RACF)","200 S.

Lands being considered for permanent protection in this round of funding are located in Becker, Beltrami, Blue Earth, Itasca, Kandiyohi, Lac Qui Parle, Le Sueur, Otter Tail, Pope, and Wabasha counties.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSIn the seventh phase of our Shorelands Protection project, the Minnesota Land Trust continued to work with landowners to secure permanent conservation easements on quality habitat along or containing critical riparian lands. We initiated or continued contact with more than 30 landowners and completed eight conservation easements. Collectively, these easements preserve approximately 700 acres of land - exceeding our original goal of 400 to 600 acres - and protect nearly 34,172 linear feet of fragile shoreline. 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. For these projects, we estimated the anticipated annual expenses of each project and the investment needed to generate annual income sufficient to cover these expenses in perpetuity - all in accordance with our internal policies and procedures as approved by LCCMR. We will report to LCCMR annually on the status of the Stewardship and Enforcement Fund and the easements acquired with funds from this grant. All but one of the eight easements completed under this grant were entirely donated. The value is known for only two of the donated easements, which together total $204,000 in appraised donated value under this grant. The Land Trust purchased one of the Fischer Lakes easements for the appraised value of $170,000. The cost to the State of Minnesota to complete the eight projects completed under this phase of the grant was just under $600 per acre. Cumulatively, across all phases of the HCP program, the Land Trust has completed 89 conservation easements, protecting 8,245 acres of critical habitat and more than 258,000 feet of shoreline, at a cost to the State of approximately $320 per acre. 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. Additionally, our experiences during this phase of the grant indicate that funds to purchase easements will be necessary in the future as work becomes more targeted, selective, and focused on building complexes of protected land. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The Land Trust disseminated information about the specific land protection projects completed under this grant though our newsletter, email updates, web site, and press releases.

As a result of this appropriation, an estimated $4 million of additional funding for conservation is anticipated to be provided in match by the federal Wetland Reserve Program.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Most of Minnesota's prairie wetlands and nearly all of our native prairie grasslands have been converted to agriculture or other uses. Restoring and protecting restored native prairie and prairie wetland complexes is a priority for the state as outlined in Minnesota's Prairie Conservation Plan. The federal Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) administered by the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is an important voluntary conservation easement program available to landowners to restore and protect prairie wetland complexes on private land. The objective of the WRP is to restore and protect wetlands and adjacent upland habitats to benefit migratory birds and other wildlife, and improve water quality. To accelerate the WRP in Minnesota, Ducks Unlimited (DU) partnered with the USDA's NRCS to provide technical assistance through eight grant-funded wetland restoration specialist consultants contracted to help NRCS promote and secure new WRP applications and plan and implement restorations on WRP easements secured in previous years. In addition, DU provided engineering services to assist NRCS with survey and preliminary design of two larger wetland restorations requiring complex water control structures to restore wetland hydrology. Through this grant, DU consultant specialists promoted WRP to 955 private landowners, secured/completed/submitted 83 WRP applications, developed or modified 174 WRP conservation plans to guide restoration of WRP easements, designed 15 water control structures for wetland restorations, and helped restore 192 wetlands on WRP easements. In addition, Ducks Unlimited wetland engineers also completed a preliminary engineering report for the large 4,000-acre Crooked Lake restoration project in Douglas County to help inform and guide future landowner outreach efforts, and completed engineering design plans for restoration of the 100-acre Rasmus Lake wetland project in Kandiyohi County. This technical assistance helped NRCS close 36 new WRP easements at a federal cost of $3,985,375 that protects 3,130 acres in Minnesota during this grant period. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Ducks Unlimited consultants promoted the WRP through SWCD newsletters, articles in local newspapers, and in an article written by DU volunteers in the spring 2013 DU state newsletter Cattails.

Restoring and protecting restored native prairie and prairie wetland complexes is a priority for the state as outlined in Minnesota's Prairie Conservation Plan. The federal Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) administered by the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is an important voluntary conservation easement program available to landowners to restore and protect prairie wetland complexes on private land. The objective of the WRP is to restore and protect wetlands and adjacent upland habitats to benefit migratory birds and other wildlife, and improve water quality. To accelerate the WRP in Minnesota, Ducks Unlimited (DU) partnered with the USDA's NRCS to provide technical assistance through eight grant-funded wetland restoration specialist consultants contracted to help NRCS promote and secure new WRP applications and plan and implement restorations on WRP easements secured in previous years. In addition, DU provided engineering services to assist NRCS with survey and preliminary design of two larger wetland restorations requiring complex water control structures to restore wetland hydrology. Through this grant, DU consultant specialists promoted WRP to 955 private landowners, secured/completed/submitted 83 WRP applications, developed or modified 174 WRP conservation plans to guide restoration of WRP easements, designed 15 water control structures for wetland restorations, and helped restore 192 wetlands on WRP easements. In addition, Ducks Unlimited wetland engineers also completed a preliminary engineering report for the large 4,000-acre Crooked Lake restoration project in Douglas County to help inform and guide future landowner outreach efforts, and completed engineering design plans for restoration of the 100-acre Rasmus Lake wetland project in Kandiyohi County. This technical assistance helped NRCS close 36 new WRP easements at a federal cost of $3,985,375 that protects 3,130 acres in Minnesota during this grant period. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Ducks Unlimited consultants promoted the WRP through SWCD newsletters, articles in local newspapers, and in an article written by DU volunteers in the spring 2013 DU state newsletter Cattails. Two DU consultants also gave a PowerPoint slide presentation on the WRP partnership with NRCS at the February 2012 DU state convention.",,"Final Report",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited Inc","311 E Geneva Rd NE",Alexandria,MN,56308,"(320) 762-9916",jschneider@ducks.org,"Land Acquisition, Planning, Restoration/Enhancement, Technical Assistance","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/hcp-vii-wetlands-reserve-program-3d,,,,

OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The MN Valley Trust acquired fee title to 78.96 acres to expand the Howard Farm Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) in Blue Earth County. The ENRTF grant acquired 45.98 acres and other, non-state private funds acquired the remaining 32.98 acres. This tract is now an integral part of a 600+ acre complex called the Howard Farm WPA of the USFWS / Minnesota Valley Wetland Management District. The acquired property includes degraded prairie and wetland habitat that was drained so that it could be farmed. Plans for this now-retired cropland include restoration of 62 acres of upland and 18 acres of wetland habitat that will be able to store up to 15 million gallons of water. The prairie seed mix will include the maximum diversity of plant species to benefit waterfowl, grassland birds, and pollinators. This project will increase habitat quality and nest success for resident and migratory grassland birds, waterfowl, wading birds, resident species, and pollinators. It also will improve water quality to nearby Loon Lake, Lake Crystal, and the Watonwan and Minnesota Rivers through filtration and storage, and will increase wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities for the public.To meet the 1:1 leverage obligation of its work plan, the MN Valley Trust also completed the following during the project period using other private, non-state funds:Acquired fee title to 17.39 acres for the Perch Lake WPA on the north end of this state-designated shallow lake that provides critical resting habitat for migrating waterfowl. Habitat work will include retiring the cropland and field road, restoring both to prairie grassland, and removing a shed cabin from the lakeshore.Acquired fee title to 160 acres to expand the Lincoln WPA. The tract includes a 152-acre CREP easement and an 8-acre building site. Habitat work will include restoring the building site to native prairie, enhancing 15 wetland acres, restoring 11 wetlands not previously restored, inter-seeding 152 acres with a diverse mix of prairie forbs and applying prescribed fire.PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Minnesota Valley Trust will announce the projects via news releases and the Trust website as habitat restoration work gets underway.

OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The MN Valley Trust acquired fee title to 78.96 acres to expand the Howard Farm Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) in Blue Earth County. The ENRTF grant acquired 45.98 acres and other, non-state private funds acquired the remaining 32.98 acres. This tract is now an integral part of a 600+ acre complex called the Howard Farm WPA of the USFWS / Minnesota Valley Wetland Management District. The acquired property includes degraded prairie and wetland habitat that was drained so that it could be farmed. Plans for this now-retired cropland include restoration of 62 acres of upland and 18 acres of wetland habitat that will be able to store up to 15 million gallons of water. The prairie seed mix will include the maximum diversity of plant species to benefit waterfowl, grassland birds, and pollinators. This project will increase habitat quality and nest success for resident and migratory grassland birds, waterfowl, wading birds, resident species, and pollinators. It also will improve water quality to nearby Loon Lake, Lake Crystal, and the Watonwan and Minnesota Rivers through filtration and storage, and will increase wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities for the public.To meet the 1:1 leverage obligation of its work plan, the MN Valley Trust also completed the following during the project period using other private, non-state funds:Acquired fee title to 17.39 acres for the Perch Lake WPA on the north end of this state-designated shallow lake that provides critical resting habitat for migrating waterfowl. Habitat work will include retiring the cropland and field road, restoring both to prairie grassland, and removing a shed cabin from the lakeshore.Acquired fee title to 160 acres to expand the Lincoln WPA. The tract includes a 152-acre CREP easement and an 8-acre building site. Habitat work will include restoring the building site to native prairie, enhancing 15 wetland acres, restoring 11 wetlands not previously restored, inter-seeding 152 acres with a diverse mix of prairie forbs and applying prescribed fire.PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Minnesota Valley Trust will announce the projects via news releases and the Trust website as habitat restoration work gets underway.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is using these funds to cover professional services costs associated with these property transfers.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The purpose of this funding was to help cover the cost of professional services related to transfer of Wildlife Management Area (WMA) property to the DNR from Habitat Conservation Partnership (HCP) partners. Several HCP partners have received funding for WMA acquisition. The process of conveying title to this land from partner to DNR results in direct costs to DNR for things such as staff time for DNR Division of Lands and Minerals and the Attorney General's Office, survey costs, recording fees, abstracting fees, property taxes, and deed taxes. These costs can be considerable and often create strain on other DNR budgets. This funding has supported the conveyance of thirteen WMA parcels from three HCP partners. These thirteen parcels added over 840 acres to the WMA system to be permanently protected and open to public hunting, fishing, and trapping. Although this was a 36-month (FY12 to FY14) appropriation, it was largely spent in the first 18 months. Therefore most of the FY13 and FY14 costs for conveyance of these lands have been paid from other DNR budgets. For these 13 properties approximately $21,500 has come from those other budgets. This illustrates that the costs associated with conveying land acquired by partners are protracted and do not end once the land is acquired. Appropriations that fund acquisition of land to be conveyed to DNR need to adequately budget for associated costs. This will ensure that newly acquired lands can be entered into DNR's Outdoor Recreation System in a timely manner, and that other DNR budgets do not bear the brunt of such costs.

There is widespread concern about the consequences of poorly planned development on water quality and fish and wildlife habitat. Given the increased demands for water and shoreland, continued habitat fragmentation and loss of species diversity, protection of sensitive lakeshores is critical. Data on the distribution and ecology of rare plants and animals, native plant communities, and vulnerable lakeshores are needed to prioritize actions to conserve and manage lake ecosystems.

This project delivered information specifically for that need. The project identified priority areas in Itasca County for shoreland reclassification and potential purchase or conservation easement, as well as provided interpretive products to shoreland property owners and state and local governments. Sensitive lakeshore assessments were completed on 51 Itasca County lakes. In total, 170 miles of shoreline and nearly 32,000 acres of shoreland were identified as highly sensitive lakeshore.

The Knife River is characterized by steep gradients, multiple water-falls and cascades, tea-colored water, and remnant old-growth forest cover types including white pine, Norway pine and white cedar. For all its attributes, the Knife River does not meet water quality standards for sediments and turbidity. This project will restore two severely eroding streambank sites along the river identified as producing the greatest sediment loads of the entire river system. The benefits from a stable channel in this location include reduced sediment downstream, less sediment pollution into Lake Superior and protection of native riparian plant communities. Toe wood combined with rock stream vanes will decrease bluff erosion and create beneficial fisheries habitat through the introduction of much needed woody debris. Both project sites will be fully restored and stabilized with state-of-the-art engineering practices that have been successfully implemented on North Shore streams.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) used fish IBI survey information in their watershed assessments for 81 lakes in four major watersheds. Based on the fish IBI lakes were determined to be impaired or meeting standards. We also made a list of lakes of exceptional biological quality which is being used to identify protection priorities in MPCA’s Watershed Restorations and Protection Strategies. We took on a new task of determining which factors are contributing to fish IBI impairments on lakes; we drafted 9 stressor ID reports for the MPCA. Aquatic Plant IBI: In FY15 EWR biologists organized analyzed and delivered aquatic plant data on 152 lakes in priority watersheds. A variety of DNR programs collect lake plant data; we used these data for the plant IBI assessments. To help maintain this important data source we finalized survey protocols for aquatic plant IBI assessments wrote a manual of these standardized survey methods and held training workshops for 150 DNR Fish and Wildlife staff involved in lake plant surveys. In addition we did more detailed in-lake surveys on eight priority lakes in the Rum River Watershed where there was not enough existing plant data to calculate an IBI. Biologists surveyed shoreline habitat and/or delineated emergent plant stands on 25 lakes in the Rum River and Mississippi River-Brainerd watersheds We also made progress enhancing software to gather and manage data which will make it easier for more biologists from other DNR programs to survey shoreline habitat and/or delineate emergent plant stands.",,,,956280,96351,,14.1,,,"The biological communities present in a lake are the result of cumulative effects of natural and human-caused influences within the entire area of land and water that flows into the lake (i.e., the watershed).

If this acquisition is not completed by July 15, 2012, then the appropriation is available to the Department of Natural Resources for other state park and recreation area acquisitions on the priority list. Up to $10,000 may be retained by the Department of Natural Resources at the request of The Trust for Public Land for transaction costs, associated professional services, and restoration needs.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,1000000,,,7.54,"The Trust for Public Land","Non-Profit Business/Entity","PROJECT OVERVIEW LaSalle Lake, a 211 acre lake in northwestern Hubbard County, is the second deepest lake in the state at 213 feet. It is surrounded by thousands of acres of natural areas that include rare species, high-quality forest and wetlands, coldwater stream, and portions of the Upper Mississippi River. In partnership with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Trust for Public Land is coordinating a multi-phase effort to permanently protect a total of 980 acres surrounding LaSalle Lake for the creation of LaSalle State Recreation Area, making the area available for public enjoyment for generations to come. This appropriation is being used to purchase a 190 acre portion of the total acreage that includes some of the highest quality habitat and biodiversity as identified by the Minnesota County Biological Survey. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSOn October 27, 2011, The Trust for Public Land acquired 721 acres on La Salle Lake in Hubbard County and immediately conveyed the property to the DNR. Funding for approximately 94 of these acres was provided by the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund. Combined with 269 acres previously acquired on December 22, 2010, the land now forms the new La Salle Lake State Recreation Area. Funding for the acquisition of this property was as follows:Funding SourceAllocated AcreageAmountEnvironment and Natural Resources Trust Fund94$990,000Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund528$5,547,000Parks and Trails Fund99$1,953,000TOTAL(puchase price and appraised value)721$8,490,000In addition to the land acquisition capital noted above, the following amounts were appropriated for DNR land acquisition costs, initial site development and restoration: Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund $10,000; Outdoor Heritage Fund $85,000; and Parks and Trails Fund $147,000. The DNR has used these funds to conduct a number of activities on the site including restoration of areas to native species, invasive species control, trail system establishment, fencing removal, and reforestation of areas damaged by a major blowdown in 2012. Protection of the La Salle Lake property was a high priority for multiple stakeholders. It was the number one priority for the DNR Northwest Region in 2010-2011, which had sought to protect it for over a decade. The acquisition also enjoyed strong local support including unanimous approval from the Hubbard County Board. Numerous organizations and individuals provided letters of support including: the Park Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, the Hubbard County Coalition of Lake Associations (COLA), the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association, Trout Unlimited, and the Audubon Society. Acquisition of the La Salle Lake property successfully seized a rare opportunity to protect a large area of habitat of regional and statewide significance that includes the entirety of Minnesota's second deepest lake, a coldwater stream, high-quality forest and wetlands, and over a half mile of Mississippi River shoreline. The property is ranked as having Outstanding Biodiversity Significance by the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS). It also provides excellent recreational opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and wildlife observation. The acquisition furthers the goals of multiple state conservation plans and connects large parcels of land already in public ownership preventing forest fragmentation and guaranteeing wildlife large landscapes in which to roam. This unique and important habitat was at risk of development and was listed for sale until The Trust for Public Land obtained an option to purchase the property and ultimately conveyed it to the DNR for permanent stewardship. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< Information about this project has been widely disseminated in a variety of ways. The Trust for Public Land has publicized it on its website, http://www.tpl.org/what-we-do/where-we-work/minnesota/la-salle-lake.html, in broadcast emails to its list serve members, and in other Trust for Public Land publications. The DNR issued a press release on the acquisition, which many news providers covered including the Pioneer Press, MPR, the Park Rapids Enterprise and a number of other papers through the AP wire. Television coverage was provided by Channel 9 TV and Channel 11 TV. The DNR further did a story on this project in its Conservation Volunteer magazine, and has a great deal of information about it on its website.

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 TheCopper 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. This feedback is incorporated into future residency programs. The Copper Street Brass Quintet also stays on stage after each concert and invites conversation from audience members. This informal audience feedback is an immediate reflection of their effectiveness on stage.

It will cover up a previous mural of ScottÆs done in 2001 which is peeling and faded. His work will be done in collaboration with the International Council on Active AgingÆs ''Changing the Way We Age'' Campaign to depict a positive view of aging and fight stereotypes of decline and diminished value that perpetuate age discrimination in todayÆs society. ScottÆs work will imprint the fact upon his audience that revering one age while reviling another is harmful to society and that we are but a sum of all our parts, and that we need them all. He will also imprint his mastery of painting on the volunteers of all ages that work with him on the mural. In addition to this, another goal is to reach as many people as possible with this mural and its message, hence the exterior location and videotaping by PEG Access Television, and posting on BingTV.com. It is also being done in honor of our 25th anniversary of becoming incorporated.We will measure the Senior Center Mural Project goals by pre- and post-questionnaires of the volunteers who helped paint the mural project. We will compare the two questionnaires by a number instead of a name in case they choose to stay anonymous (still making it optional for them to identify themselves). We will be looking for their experience in the arts and what they learned artistically by working on this project.

I will perform this music in concert throughout the United States and abroad; I will notate it and publish it on my web site so that other guitarists may perform and record it; and I will record it for the enjoyment of audiences and individuals. My records are frequently played on radio stations around the world. I know this because I have conducted ''on air'' interviews during the course of this programming from Israel and Australia to England and France, among others.The completion of this project alone will be a measure of my success, although there are many other benchmarks I hope to achieve. I would consider reviews by established on-line and print media of the CD and published works to be a measure of their acceptance. The success of this project will also be calculated by CD and Book sales and downloads, radio airplay, placement in online music streaming sites such as iTunes, Pandora, Spotify and Last.fm, and views of video selections on YouTube. Sales of CDs and books can only be projected since the project is not anticipated to be published within the yearlong timeline of the grant. When the recording is released, I would expect to sell initially 200 to 1,000 CDs and a minimum of 40 books and 100 digital downloads in the first year of publication.

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. This feedback is incorporated into future residency programs. The Copper Street Brass Quintet also stays on stage after each concert and invites conversation from audience members. This informal audience feedback is an immediate reflection of their effectiveness on stage.

There are 20 youth enrolled into the Ojibwe language program, there were 380 possible classes that could have been attended by the 20 enrollees, out of those 380 possible classes, 232 were attended by the 20 youth which is an attendance rate of 61%. The youth in the program are familiar the Little Earth Youth Development Center and its staff, so this program is an easy transition for them. Youth have gained knowledge of the importance for language revitalization. It has created a desire to learn the language and to become informed of traditions, culture, and language. The youth who are in the Ojibwe language program participate in every activity and go above and beyond to learn and retain the amount of language that is required in the program. Most of the youth have previously known one another and some are related, but the program has given the youth the opportunity to bond and play an active role in what it means to be a community and work together as a community. The youth have shown a great deal of accountabilty, even when there might not be much support in their home life. The youth will go out of their way to let staff know if they cannot make it to class and they show up on time for class. The language program is set up so these youth will gain natural leadership experience and they will stand out in the community as the ones who are keeping the language alive. We have translated two Ojibwe Language Immersion Scenarios with Ramona Manuel, an elder from Ponemah, MN. The youth have tested on pronunciation fo rthe first two scenarios. The average class score for immersion scenario one (It's Morning Time) was 78% and for immersions scenario two (In the Afternoon) was 75%. These test scores are solely based off pronunciation. Specifically through the creation of a multimedia classroom, we have integrated the use of language into normal activities focusing on media and computer development skills. Cultural programming including history, Native American sociology, and specific roundtable discussions on ceremony have benefitted from the intoduction of language. In addition, Vice President Jay Bad Heart Bull displayed the wisdom of enlisting the traditional Little Earth Women's Group in language activities by providing curriculum focusing on the Women's Group cooking and community activities.

The project includes restoring a portion of Loretto Creek to a more natural design by meandering the channel, flattening the side slopes and creating native vegetated buffers. A sedimentation pond will be constructed to collect coarse sediment during low flow storm events and will slow down the velocity of the stream. Down stream of the sedimentation pond, a larger water quality pond will be constructed within the existing upland area of the northwest ball field. This pond will store larger storm events and will settle out phosphorus-laden sediment. In addition, this project will restore a historically filled wetland within the ball field complex. The water quality pond will outlet through the restored wetland. This will allow for additional overland treatment of stormwater along with improving wildlife habitat.

The purpose of this program is to call attention to the pillar, but also to centralize and streamline reporting on other related programs within the Maintain Existing Holdings pillar. Thus, this program captures all the information about what are known as direct and necessary administrative costs of managing the seven other programs that make up this pillar, as well as all information on the number of full time equivalent (or FTE) positions supported by the Legacy funds allocated to DNR Parks and Trails under this pillar. Direct and necessary administrative costs include a wide range of activities, such as accounting and managerial expertise; a list of administrative activities has been compiled in Minnesota Management and Budget's Guidance to Agencies on Legacy Fund Expenditure. Other costs included in this program include direct, non-administrative costs of doing the work of Maintaining Existing Holdings that do not fall directly in one of the seven related programs. This includes a range of professional staff or contractor services and materials needed to do the work. FTEs reported here are consistent with the guidelines provided by the Legislative Coordinating Commission.

OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Accounting for on the ground outcomes and measureable environmental benefits to the quality of soil, water, and habitat is an essential component of implementing conservation projects. Local Government Units (LGUs), including Counties, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and Watershed Districts, utilize pollution reduction estimators to quantify the outcomes of conservation projects. Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) currently utilizes models or 'estimators' to measure the pollution reduction benefits of installed Best Management Practices (BMPs). Estimators quantify the outcomes of conservation practices in terms of reduced soil erosion, sediment and phosphorus reduction, carbon sequestered, etc. In order to improve the accounting of conservation practices and measurement of environmental benefits, existing estimators must be revised and new estimators developed. Through a partnership with the University of Minnesota Department of Soil, Water and Climate, four new estimators were developed: Permanent Cover Erosion Reduction model, the Septic System Improvement Estimator, the Milkhouse Waste Practices Estimator, and the Hydrologic Soil Group - Knowledge Matrix tool. These estimators fill gaps where estimators did not exist previously. The existence of these estimators allows Local Government Units and other conservation partners to better quantify the environmental outcomes of conservation implementation. Training for LGUs and other conservation partners was conducted and made available in multiple formats (in-person, webinar, instructional videos). Many LGUs have already used the new estimators and we anticipate widespread adoption in the future.Additional results include development of a framework to model and track movement of endocrine disrupting compounds and a data quality analysis of pollution reduction reporting.

Priority will be given to lands that have a high risk of development, provide protection to shoreline and riparian zones, and allow access for anglers and habitat improvement projects.Project Outcome and Results This appropriation provided funding to acquire land in fee title within the Metro Conservation Corridors Partnership (MeCC) areas. It focused on habitat linkage projects along the Vermillion River in southern Dakota County that have the following characteristics: high risk of development, angler access, environmental protection of the shoreline and riparian zone, and access for DNR personnel and constituent cooperators to do habitat improvement projects. Parcels acquired will be managed as Aquatic Management Areas (AMA). This funding also supported the finalization of three parcels acquired with a previous MeCC appropriation, but for which professional services bills were still needed. A total of $8,080 was spent on completion of the three previously acquired parcels. The remaining $292,000 was spent on acquisition of two additional parcels for the Vermillion River AMA. These two parcels closed in late 2013 and added 114 acres of land which provide permanent protection and public hunting, fishing, and trapping along almost 11,000 feet of stream. The AMA now consists of 450 acres and 27,650 feet (over 5 miles) of stream. The Vermillion River is known for production of large brown trout and is a popular anger destination. The acquisition of these two parcels relied on other public funding in addition to this appropriation. Dakota County contributed $40,000 and another $108,600 came largely from a 2011 Outdoor Heritage Fund appropriation to DNR.

The Metro Conservation Corridors partnership is working to establish a system of habitat corridors that also provide open space and water quality benefits for the residents of the area. One goal of this project was to increase the amount of high quality habitat within designated conservation corridors. During this project, FMR installed 86 acres of prairie, besting the projected amount by 31 acres. This prairie restoration took place at the Emrick property, Gores Pool WMA, Heritage Village Park, Pine Bend Bluffs SNA, and Mississippi River Gorge sites. FMR conducted woodland restoration activities on 2 acres at Mounds Park and Heritage Village Park, falling short by 3 acres of the proposed goal. Uncommon flooding at Gores Pool WMA prevented woodland restoration at the site. Activities associated with this restoration included updating management plans, soil preparation, seed/plant installation, mowing, and weed control. These additional acres of natural communities will provide critical habitat for many species that rely on prairie and woodland, some of which are rare or in decline. A second goal was to enhance the quality of existing habitat areas. We conducted enhancement activities, mostly exotic invasive plant control and burning, on 275.8 acres, exceeding the number of acres committed to in the work program by 172.8.

Thanks to the Legacy Grant we are able to get into those plays that are chosen and see them from the ""eyes of the authors"" in a different way."" New for this year of Legacy programming, they launched Storywalks in partnership with Anoka County Parks and Anoka County Community Health and Environmental Services. Three Storywalks were hosted in the fall at different parks around Anoka County. The walks were an opportunity for families to read, spend time in nature, and be physically active. Anoka County Library hosted two series of programs for school age kids this spring: Kids Build ARTchitecture and In the Dark. The ARTchitecture series had kids designing bridge, skyscrapers, and inventions. Kids reported that learning to saw and cut wood, using glue guns was important to them. . They gave the programs very high marks. In the Dark programs included learning about rocks that glow, creating kaleidoscopes, making glow-in-the-dark art and a very popular Jedi Training Camp. As with the ARTchitecture programs, kids liked the hands-on aspects of the activities - the building and decorating. Carver County Library's first Annual Writers Fair was a huge success. With an afternoon of classes, a panel discussion, and networking opportunities available it was a must-attend event for any aspiring writer. The event was so well received a follow up writers series will be offered late Fall and a second Writers Fair is in the planning for 2014. Since, we have experienced a great amount of success when offering any programming as a series, particularly with our annual Music in March series. A decision was made to try a new venue­ Arts in April. Every Sunday afternoon, in April a different art form or session was offered at our Chanhassen branch. We even had one Sunday afternoon with staff providing their work on display and brief introductions to their art of choice. Plans are to expand the offerings next April and provide more hands on classes and Make and Take classes. Dakota County Library: Rosemount One Book was a collaborative community effort to promote and support reading, as well as to provide cultural and educational activities for all ages.

""Everything was wonderful. Although I am 83 I am still able to learn."" ""I enjoyed every minute of the class. I was surprised how creative I could be."" Saint Paul Public Library conducted eighteen program series. Thirteen of the series focused on programming for youth and five focused on programming for adults. SPPL worked with several local organizations and a roster of nearly all Minnesotan artists/presenters. Take the Mic was all about teens and music. The series included workshops on music songwriting, recording, and editing. The highlight was a concert in downtown Saint Paul's Rice Park featuring local teen bands, as well as musician Alicia Steele. We were thrilled to be able to offer local teens the chance to perform in a public venue, alongside a professional musician. Read Brave encouraged the community to read the book Everybody Sees the Ants, which addresses topics of bullying, war and family. The author, an engaging speaker, visited and led discussions related to her book. The library was also able to partner with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation in conjunction with the series. Lady Gaga was in town with her Born Brave Bus, and teen participants in our series got the opportunity to visit her bus and enjoy a pre-show party hosted by Gaga. IART Families celebrated diversity in families. The series featured three events where kids and their families had the chance to make art and hear stories celebrating different families. Each event included a collaborative art project. The series culminated at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, where the collaborative art projects were on display. Gypsy Festival: Three live music performances and an exhibit drew over 700 people. The performances consisted of Gypsy Jazz, Spanish Flamenco, and the music of Django Reinhardt. Narration was provided by local artist Michael Dregni for two concerts and audiences reported on their appreciation of the excellent musicians and the melding of artistry and learning. Michael Dregni coordinated a display of Gypsy Jazz/Django Reinhardt memorabilia for the display cases at Central Library to accompany the performances. Dakota War Sesquicentennial: Over 150 people came to three different lectures/programs that presented stories, images, and sites from both sides of the conflict and showed how ripple effects continue to this day. Events were held with local authors John Koblas and Curt Dahlin and a bus tour with local historian Dave Riehle visited sites with significance to the Dakota. Audiences reported great interest in local history and appreciated the multiple perspectives presented in the series. Scott County Library: Off-Site Summer Reading Program provided reading records, prizes, and sets of books to childcare, summer school, and free lunch programs in each branch library's community. With hiring a contractor to manage the program, we were able to expand to 1,690 participants at 15 sites; hosted 12 events with performers for participants and their families. First Thursdays Danceteria continues to be very popular and draws large crowds and rave reviews. The sense of community built in a social dance is like no other and many participants comment on the quality of the music and venue and on the opportunity to sample different musical traditions. lnkSlingers: Writers in the Libraries hosted 11 writing workshops. Belle Plaine and Prior Lake also each hosted youth writing workshops as part of this series. Comments from participants mentioned often that the information in the classes was very inspiring, and useful to them. They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs. The Savage Library commissioned mural artist Greg Preslicka to do a mural called ""Taking Flight"" on two walls of the children's area. The artist spent a week in January working on the project and gave three presentations on the mural process, and many more watched and interacted with the artist as he worked on the mural. The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county. The library hired a professional reader to present a 6-week series of hour-long programs at five senior resident facilities. He read selections of short stories by popular Minnesota authors. After the readings, audience members shared their reactions and memories of similar situations in their own lives. The library invited local independent authors and publishers to offer their e-books to the readers of Washington County. Library Local Content was a partnership with the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Authors submitted their works online. The library uploaded the works into its OverDrive e-book lending platform. Readers were encouraged to read and rate the books. With the success of our other writing programs we decided to offer another writer's workshop featuring a young and talented author. This time it was Alice Ozma, author of March 2012 One County One Book selection, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared.

Read And Ride Day attracted over 1,000 people to Carousel Park for a wide range of activities, art-making and live entertainment. MELSA was a featured partner in the Twin Cities Book Festival where MELSA created a children's pavilion of author events, hands-on arts and live performances for more than 400 young people and adults. Club Book: This acclaimed literary series brought 17 best-selling and award-winning authors to library communities across the metropolitan area. From Stillwater to Chanhassen and Minnetonka to Apple Valley, Club Book establishes area libraries as vital, vibrant centers of cultural programming and exchange. Nearly 3,000 attendees flocked to many standing-room­ only events proving that libraries are the coolest book club in town. This year's featured authors include local luminaries Mark Rosen, Jonathan Odell, Brenda Child, Dr. David Walsh, Lorna Landvik and Brenda Langdon. Audiences filled the seats when Colin Meloy, Carson Ellis, Cheryl Strayed, John Sanford and Carl Hiaasen came to town to meet their readers. Sing, Play, Learn with MacPhail: Over 3,000 youngsters and adults enjoyed 71 early childhood music programs presented by specialists from MacPhail Center for Music. Wee ones enjoyed songs and activities geared just for them while adults learned how to incorporate music activities at home to enhance reading readiness with their children. Teens Know Best: This new program brought eight teen authors to each library system in 2013. Although we aimed high in projected attendance, 625 youth were thrilled to make connections with their favorite authors. We already have ideas for improving the program for next year and will cultivate partnerships with Mackin, Addendum, Lerner Publishers and 71 educators to increase promotion and attendance. Anoka County Library continued their most popular programs, including Page & Stage with the Lyric Arts Theater in Anoka and Bringing Local History to Life with the Anoka County Historical Society. A patron commented about the Page and Stage program, ""The talk before the play can give a whole new outlook and it is great to listen to others thoughts in the plays. Thanks to the Legacy Grant we are able to get into those plays that are chosen and see them from the ""eyes of the authors"" in a different way."" New for this year of Legacy programming, they launched Storywalks in partnership with Anoka County Parks and Anoka County Community Health and Environmental Services. Three Storywalks were hosted in the fall at different parks around Anoka County. The walks were an opportunity for families to read, spend time in nature, and be physically active. Anoka County Library hosted two series of programs for school age kids this spring: Kids Build ARTchitecture and In the Dark. The ARTchitecture series had kids designing bridge, skyscrapers, and inventions. Kids reported that learning to saw and cut wood, using glue guns was important to them. . They gave the programs very high marks. In the Dark programs included learning about rocks that glow, creating kaleidoscopes, making glow-in-the-dark art and a very popular Jedi Training Camp. As with the ARTchitecture programs, kids liked the hands-on aspects of the activities - the building and decorating. Carver County Library's first Annual Writers Fair was a huge success. With an afternoon of classes, a panel discussion, and networking opportunities available it was a must-attend event for any aspiring writer. The event was so well received a follow up writers series will be offered late Fall and a second Writers Fair is in the planning for 2014. Since, we have experienced a great amount of success when offering any programming as a series, particularly with our annual Music in March series. A decision was made to try a new venue­ Arts in April. Every Sunday afternoon, in April a different art form or session was offered at our Chanhassen branch. We even had one Sunday afternoon with staff providing their work on display and brief introductions to their art of choice. Plans are to expand the offerings next April and provide more hands on classes and Make and Take classes. Dakota County Library: Rosemount One Book was a collaborative community effort to promote and support reading, as well as to provide cultural and educational activities for all ages. The idea germinated in Rosemount during a Community Leaders meeting to bring people with similar youth-centered goals together to share and work toward creating a better Rosemount. Following the successful first year of One Book, One Rosemount, the committee agreed to continue the program and chose Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool. Dakota County Library celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month which honors the various histories, cultures and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. This is the first time the Dakota County Library officially celebrated Hispanic-Heritage Month. An estimated 200 people took part in StoryWalk at Lebanon Hills Regional Park during its weeklong tenure in October. Families eagerly traveled a mile-long path as they read Gossie by Olivier Dunrea together, page by page. Dakota County Library celebrated Black History Month with the Twin Cities Community Gospel Choir. The Choir consisted of an ensemble of 22 singers. It was absolutely fabulous - the energy, the spirit, the performance! Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford was the featured book for the annual OneBook, One Lakeville. Author Jamie Ford presented at the Lakeville Area Arts Center at an event which included the opening act Cumulus, a jazz band, with special guest vocalist Debbie O'Keefe. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, and Ford was an engaging and informative speaker. The most meaningful feedback received was from people who stated that they knew little of the Japanese internment, and that our series of programs was very enlightening. Dakota County Library hosted its annual Silver Tea series consisting of programs especially for older adults during Older Americans Month. The Library hosted musical entertainment at all Dakota County Libraries, drawing 739 customers. Librarian feedback was uniformly positive about the quality of the performers and attendance levels. ""Well received by audience. We filled the room beyond capacity and had to overflow into the atrium."" Dakota County Library hosted its 4th annual Rhythm & Words Family Music & Book Festival at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. Nearly 1,900 people attended the festival and The Okee Dokee Brothers' performance filled the main stage which seats over 1,000 people. Hennepin County Library: Drama from the Inside was a writing and theater workshop held at Hennepin County's adult correctional facility. Staff from local theater companies led writing workshops for the residents. The pieces composed by residents were turned into a performance and performed live for residents and was also published. Selected comments from residents include, ""It was nice seeing other women's stories and makes you think a lot on your current situation,"" and, ""The power of the stories touched me deeply. I so appreciate the bravery and honesty of the women who shared their stories."" While the Library has hosted programs celebrating Dia de los Ninos (Children's Book Day) in the past, this year staff focused on developing community partners to strengthen the program. Staff engaged youth in the creation of the program by involving local schools and art centers and increased the number of Spanish speaking families who attended events at the library. Selected comments from attendees who were asked what was the best part of the event include, ""That entire families participated -- a time to share. Thanks,"" ""The community and seeing the puppets up close after. What a great surprise to find at the library today!"" and ""The dances and the piftata, the information about the library."" The Library partnered with Twin Cities Public Television to demonstrate how our Special Collections department has assisted local researchers by producing the ""Treasures Collected, Treasures Shared,"" documentary and web videos. Accompanying the release of the documentary, the Library increased the number of Genealogy Research workshops by bringing in local genealogists. Attendance was excellent and increased the attendance at the staff-led workshops the Library offers year-round. Ramsey County Library: Young Lenses - RCL and CTV North Suburbs partnered to offer an opportunity for girls ages 11 to 14 to examine the representations of women in mainstream media, to connect with other young women and to explore storytelling through video production. The girls watched the award winning documentary ""Miss Representation"" and made their own autobiographical TV show. ""A Girls Eye View"" opening was held in the library for the public to view the works created during the project. Kindergarten Library Card Sign Up Celebration - Children's librarians visited every kindergarten class in RCL's service area and encouraged kids to get their first library card. Kindergarteners and their families were invited to the library for a day filled with art activities, award-winning authors, musical performances and an award ceremony where the kids received their library card. We continue to offer the always popular music and art series during school breaks. History Series - A three month Civil War series, co-sponsored by National Endowment of the Humanities and American Library Association, was the highlight of our always popular history programs. Events ranged from book talks to re-enactments and were offered for all ages. We continue to partner with local historical societies offering monthly workshops that fill our rooms to capacity. White Bear History Challenge - RCL partnered with the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society on this geocaching challenge to make history fun. The challenge was kicked-off at the library with a workshop introducing geocaching and the Munzee game to newbies. This treasure hunt highlights 15 historic points in our community and includes collector cards featuring the site's photo and fun history facts. ""We took a class and now our little ones found their first cache all by themselves!"" ""What a great tour! Thanks for the memories!"" Senior Art Series - This year RCL added programming specifically for senior citizens. Art classes that combined art history with hands-on projects were offered in multiple locations. ""Everything was wonderful. Although I am 83 I am still able to learn."" ""I enjoyed every minute of the class. I was surprised how creative I could be."" Saint Paul Public Library conducted eighteen program series. Thirteen of the series focused on programming for youth and five focused on programming for adults. SPPL worked with several local organizations and a roster of nearly all Minnesotan artists/presenters. Take the Mic was all about teens and music. The series included workshops on music songwriting, recording, and editing. The highlight was a concert in downtown Saint Paul's Rice Park featuring local teen bands, as well as musician Alicia Steele. We were thrilled to be able to offer local teens the chance to perform in a public venue, alongside a professional musician. Read Brave encouraged the community to read the book Everybody Sees the Ants, which addresses topics of bullying, war and family. The author, an engaging speaker, visited and led discussions related to her book. The library was also able to partner with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation in conjunction with the series. Lady Gaga was in town with her Born Brave Bus, and teen participants in our series got the opportunity to visit her bus and enjoy a pre-show party hosted by Gaga. IART Families celebrated diversity in families. The series featured three events where kids and their families had the chance to make art and hear stories celebrating different families. Each event included a collaborative art project. The series culminated at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, where the collaborative art projects were on display. Gypsy Festival: Three live music performances and an exhibit drew over 700 people. The performances consisted of Gypsy Jazz, Spanish Flamenco, and the music of Django Reinhardt. Narration was provided by local artist Michael Dregni for two concerts and audiences reported on their appreciation of the excellent musicians and the melding of artistry and learning. Michael Dregni coordinated a display of Gypsy Jazz/Django Reinhardt memorabilia for the display cases at Central Library to accompany the performances. Dakota War Sesquicentennial: Over 150 people came to three different lectures/programs that presented stories, images, and sites from both sides of the conflict and showed how ripple effects continue to this day. Events were held with local authors John Koblas and Curt Dahlin and a bus tour with local historian Dave Riehle visited sites with significance to the Dakota. Audiences reported great interest in local history and appreciated the multiple perspectives presented in the series. Scott County Library: Off-Site Summer Reading Program provided reading records, prizes, and sets of books to childcare, summer school, and free lunch programs in each branch library's community. With hiring a contractor to manage the program, we were able to expand to 1,690 participants at 15 sites; hosted 12 events with performers for participants and their families. First Thursdays Danceteria continues to be very popular and draws large crowds and rave reviews. The sense of community built in a social dance is like no other and many participants comment on the quality of the music and venue and on the opportunity to sample different musical traditions. lnkSlingers: Writers in the Libraries hosted 11 writing workshops. Belle Plaine and Prior Lake also each hosted youth writing workshops as part of this series. Comments from participants mentioned often that the information in the classes was very inspiring, and useful to them. They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs. The Savage Library commissioned mural artist Greg Preslicka to do a mural called ""Taking Flight"" on two walls of the children's area. The artist spent a week in January working on the project and gave three presentations on the mural process, and many more watched and interacted with the artist as he worked on the mural. The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county. The library hired a professional reader to present a 6-week series of hour-long programs at five senior resident facilities. He read selections of short stories by popular Minnesota authors. After the readings, audience members shared their reactions and memories of similar situations in their own lives. The library invited local independent authors and publishers to offer their e-books to the readers of Washington County. Library Local Content was a partnership with the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Authors submitted their works online. The library uploaded the works into its OverDrive e-book lending platform. Readers were encouraged to read and rate the books. With the success of our other writing programs we decided to offer another writer's workshop featuring a young and talented author. This time it was Alice Ozma, author of March 2012 One County One Book selection, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared. When Alice reached out to us saying she would be in the area and would love to come back and do another program with us we jumped at the chance! We decided to host an informal writer's workshop and open it up to both teens and adults.

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

We also featured 250 Minnesota jazz artists new to the Festival. Minnesota State Arts Board support helped underwrite a significant expansion to twenty-three free venues, an important strategy to attract more audiences by presenting more Minnesota artists. The Festival has always presented a wide range of jazz, but support this year especially helped increase the number of Latin Jazz artists, that included Francisco Mela and the Cuban Safari, from Cuba; Araya Orta Latin Jazz Quartet, from Costa Rica; and Ticket to Brasil, from Brazil. 2: Thirty-one free venues, a seven-fold increase from 2011’s three free stages, enabled the Festival to present more Minnesota artists and to attract greater audiences.

Minnesota festivals have greater financial stability and serve broader audiences. The number of Minnesotans who experience the arts through festivals increases. Our initial goal was sixty-five Minnesota artists and we were 8% above that mark. The tools we used were to survey our performers as well as establish an entertainment line-up that aligned with the diversity of the Midtown neighborhood. We increased input from neighborhood stakeholders and partners. In 2011, a major criticism of our event was that it lacked artists of color as well as performers from the neighborhood. One partner in particular, the Cultural Wellness Center, took a main role in ensuring that the 2012 project reflected the cultures and ethnicities that call Midtown home. We also increased the number of stages from two to three to ensure a full day of non-stop entertainment.","The project featured a diverse array of performances, including spoken word, traditional drumming (African, Native American), dance (salsa, stepping, Bollywood, Turkish, belly), and musical acts (jazz, polka/Scandinavian, European café, salsa and country). In comparison, last year's festival featured just jazz performers. More than seventy Minnesota artists participated in the event, twenty more than the previous year. 2: We ended in the black. A key component to serving broader audiences was our aggressive, yet cost-efficient marketing and promotional plan. Without State Arts Board support, we would have had to limit our entertainment offerings and further cut our marketing activities. Our attendees had a great time and received a good entertainment value, which will help us to spread the word about our 2013 project. We increased outreach to the neighborhood as well as advertised in ethnic newspapers. The grant also funded more performers, many of whom came from the neighborhood. Our target audiences included Midtown residents and business owners, Midtown Global Market supporters, Twin Cities jazz fans, urban tourists, and performers' fans, families and friends--all of whom traditionally find it beneficial to attend outdoor music.

Minnesota festivals have greater financial stability and serve broader audiences. The percentage of participating Minnesota artists remained the same, but the number of overall and Minnesota artists increased from 2011 to 2012 (250 to 275). Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association uses the online service of Zapplication to enroll main exhibitors and the figures are based on an analysis of the data. The Community Showcase, Group Exhibitors, Neighborhood Arts Organizations and performers all hail from Minnesota and most are local.","The art fair presents approximately 275 artists. The artists are from Minnesota (64 percent), Wisconsin (13 percent), Iowa (5 percent) and across the United States (18 percent). In 2011, the breakdown of artists was: Minnesota (64 percent), Wisconsin (16%), Iowa (4%) and across the United State (16%). Applying artists are awarded an extra point if they live in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood. There was a 200 percent increase in the number of Hmong artists. The Minnesota Main Exhibitors represented fourteen disciplines of art: clay, digital art, drawing, fabric, glass, jewelry, leather, mixed media, painting, paper, photography, print making, sculpture, and wood. Artists are selected by a blind jury process, and distinct jury panels determine each of the programs. Much of the project energy goes to determining the nature of the arts experience for audiences and a balance of disciplines. The overall number of artists and Minnesota artists increased overall due to an increase in participation in the Group Exhibitors Sections, Neighborhood Arts Organizations and performers. The art fair actively recruited local arts organizations to demonstrate their craft and skills at the art fair in 2012. 2: We achieved greater financial stability and served broader audiences.

The art fair accomplished five long-lasting objectives, which would not have been possible before: we purchased ten vertical banner signs, which added to the professional feel of the fair; purchased twelve tents for the Community Showcase, which will save the art fair about $2,400 per year in rental fees; advertised in a broader selection of local media outlets; increased the number of performing artists, thus attracting a broader audience; and approved a ten percent increase for the paid coordinator positions (all local residents) to recognize the amount of work accomplished and to secure commitments to return in 2013.

The festival showcased local and regional musical talent, offered educational artistic opportunities for all ages and demonstrated the skill and knowledge of a diverse group of talented artists. It highlighted the Hutchinson area's growing arts culture and folk music heritage, and leveraged the wide array of strong community assets available. Our outcomes related to overall festival mission were evaluated by the volunteer steering committee. Following the festival, all sub-committees met to debrief on their particular areas of focus, including talent, site/security/technology, marketing, fundraising, hospitality and volunteer coordination. Each group provided feedback that the steering committee in turn discussed during a debrief session. Feedback was very positive, especially related to the artists showcased. 2: One of the festival's biggest assets is that roots music covers such a wide variety; there will always be many talented artists to choose from. It directly connects to Hutchinson's heritage, since the community was founded by a family of folk singers. In addition to the more than 50 artists featured during the festival weekend, RiverSong added a pre-festival music series, which brought musicians to various venues for the four months leading to the festival. The series was hosted at the Hutchinson Center for the Arts, Hutchinson Mall, Crow River Winery and Zellas restaurant. It brought awareness to the upcoming festival, provided high-quality music performances to the community that would've otherwise not been available, and built audience for the artists.

New artist and headliner Abdul Zuhri was selected due to his strong reputation as an up-and-comer in the jazz world. Co-headliner Cheryl Pepsii Riley was added because of her reputation as a strong vocalist with decades of experience. 2: Increased financial support creates a higher quality festival--enhanced features and benefits and higher quality entertainment--which, in turn attracts more vendors and sponsors. This year was the first time we were able to sell our stage sponsorship. We also received interest from a corporation that appears to be on board in 2013. The grant helped us with our marketing, which included an ad campaign in the Villager. A social media intern took our Facebook likes from 100 to over 500. We witnessed audience growth in urban tourists and families with young children. Our expanded Family Fun Zone was packed; we had 450 face-painted kids, distribution of 500 balloons and 600 fans, and Theater Improv performed to more than 200 kids.",,37000,"Other, local or private",52100,13300,"Rachel Carlson, Janet Williams, Teshite Wako, Gilbert Davis",0.2,"Selby Ave JazzFest","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Minnesota Festival Support",,"The Selby Avenue JazzFest, September 8, will feature music by renowned professionals and up-and-coming student musicians ,along with family activities, interactive visual art displays, and tasty food, all surrounded by a strong sense of community.",2012-03-01,2012-11-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Dave,Bonko,"Selby Ave JazzFest","c/o Golden Thyme Coffee CafΘ 921 Selby Ave","St Paul",MN,55104,"(651) 645-1340 ",dbonko@q.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-festival-support-37,"Patricia Canelake: Artist; Anastasia Faunce: Program director, University of Minnesota College of Continuing Education.

This year, more than any other year, folk artists were more visible. There were numerous folk artists from visual, audio, playwright, and non-decorative disciplines. A survey found that 64% of our artists had no formal training in any artistic style; rather, they were self-taught. In previous years, our numbers were around 50%. We tried to incorporate all aspects of various arts into one event. We concentrated some of our efforts to offer traditional art experiences with native dance, song, and visual art. 2: Without this grant, Red Hot Arts would not have happened this year. Funding has been so tight in the last two years. Red Hot Art was able to garner additional resources after the Minnesota State Arts Board grant was secured. Also, because of the grant, more artists wished to attend, thus increasing the overall participation. The grant did not specifically assist us in reaching other target groups. However, with this grant we were able to secure more traditional artists and allow them to show their work. The amount of artists and participants who live at or below the poverty line increased.

Project staff convened and met with veterans to explore the ways in which the humanities and the arts are and can be useful; identified projects that were currently underway that use the arts and humanities to bring the original stories and experiences of veterans more fully into public life and education; collaborated with others whose work is to bring our veterans “all the way home,” with the unique and powerful resources of the humanities and arts;  helped support existing programs; and, when needed, created new opportunities for Veterans to speak in their own voice and to connect with others in meaningful ways. On September 11, 2013, the unprecedented 25 Veterans’ Voices Awards Ceremony recognized 25 veterans who have made exceptional contributions to the community. These rising stars have not merely returned to civilian life, but are thriving and giving back to their Minnesota communities. Between July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2013, $13,107.99 in Legacy funding supported the exploratory phase of new Community Partnership program design and development.",2011-07-01,2013-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Casey,DeMarais,"Minnesota Humanities Center","987 Ivy Avenue East","St. Paul",MN,55106,6517724278,casey@mnhum.org,,"Minnesota Humanities Center",,,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-humanities-center-community-partnerships,,,,

This program exceeded our acreage goal by 439 acres (37%), enrolling a total of 1,595.4 acres of enhanced wildlife and water quality buffers in partnership with private landowners on 46 easements. ",,"September 2011: BWSR Board authorized the RIM Buffer program October 2011: BWSR Board reviewed timeline and ranking criteria November 2011: SWCD program training and rollout of the RFP process where SWCDs requested project areas. January 2012: SWCDs requested local project areas, which determined where eligible projects could occur. February-March 2012: First landowner signup period was held. SWCDs marketed the program to landowners, completed an initial review of eligibility and scoring, and submitted applications to BWSR for funding consideration. Subsequent signups were announced and held to fund additional easements, which followed a similar process of screening committee review and allocation of funding to funded applications. Summer 2012: BWSR completed first funding allocations to applications. Applications first underwent an eligiblity review and confirmation that sites met appropriation guidelines. Applications were funded if they met the minimum wildlife benefits score. Those that did not meet this minimum score were not eligible and were either directed to secure a standalone CWF buffer, or to enroll in a different program. A total of 46 easements were funded and acquired. 2014: Last easements acquired with these funds were recorded. 2014-Onward: Restorations occurred. BWSR is held to the statutory requirement that requires restoration of the easements we acquire. This restoration includes establishment of acceptable vegetation, if the current cover does not adequately meet site goals. This partnership program permanently added grassland habitat and reduced fragmentation by combining the efforts of the Outdoor Heritage Fund, Clean Water Fund, and bonding to secure buffers adjacent to public waters. Building upon the 100-foot RIM buffers funded through the Clean Water Fund, we added an additional buffer width (up to NRCS 393 standard for CRP buffers) to make clean water buffers more attractive and productive for wildlife. This program contributed toward the development of new habitat complexes and enhancement of existing habitats by expanding the size of narrow corridors and connecting them to large, permanently protected grasslands, wetlands, and shallow lakes. Furthermore, these wildlife buffers were targeted for landscapes with existing permanently protected habitat to accelerate progress toward achieving minimum thresholds of grass habitat required by waterfowl and other Species of Greatest Conservation Need. Many Species of Greatest Conservation Need benefit from large habitat patches and some require a minimum threshold of grassland habitat within a landscape. The Sedge wren, a Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) most commonly associated with grassland habitat, is encountered in buffer areas. Bird use is influenced by buffer width, with greater widths experiencing greater abundance and diversity of birds and grassland species. Buffers are commonly viewed as simply a water quality practice, but buffers have notable positive impacts on wildlife due their unique upland and riverine habitat interaction. Not only are upland grasslands protected or restored, but detrimental impacts to stream-reliant biota is reduced. Many species of amphibians, such as southern MN's Northern Cricket Frog (endangered) rely on aquatic habitat during the breeding season and then spend most of their lives in upland habitat. In Southeastern MN, reptiles such as the Blanding's Turtle (endangered) rely on meandering streams, rivers, and adjacent lands. A scoring mechanism was employed to fund high quality wildlife buffer enhancements and target these funds. Buffers for wildlife under this program were prioritized based upon their ability to enhance public land habitats (e.g., WPA’s or WMA’s), protect expiring CRP lands, add key nesting cover to wetland/upland complexes, provide maximum water quality benefits, and enhance shallow lakes. Agricultural expansion, biofuel production, and expiration of Conservation Reserve Program contracts had accelerated the loss of grass habitat in Minnesota. At the time this program was implemented, Minnesota had just over 200,000 acres of CRP in buffer practices at various stages of their 10-15 year contracts, some soon to expire. The RIM Buffer program served as a complement to other programs to secure these expiring acres.

This Phase resulted in a total of 962 acres protected, 15,554 acres enhanced, and 36 acres restored. When combined with Phase 1 of the Program we have cumulatively protected 2,645 acres, enhanced 35,836 acres and restored 204 acres using OHF funds. We will continue to implement subsequent Phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan.",,"Design and Scope of Work 1. Problems to be addressed: the conservation problems facing Minnesota’s prairies, prairie potholes, grasslands and savannas are many, and include: a.Continued losses of native and restored grasslands due to economic pressures. b.Degradation of existing public grasslands and wetlands due to encroachment by woody vegetation and other invasive species that reduces their values to wildlife and people. c.Inadequate public access for hunting and fishing in agricultural parts of the state. d.Potential loss of local taxes and local incomes when land is acquired by public entities. e.Long-term state obligations for management of public lands and payment-in-lieu-of-taxes creates a burden for state budget. f.Programmatic and staff limitations that reduce efficiencies in implementing diverse conservation programs across multiple partners. 2. Scope of work: with the appropriated funding, and with other funds leveraged by this money and brought by other partners, the following actions and outcomes were realized. •The “Prairie Recovery Project Partnership” was initiated within the Upper MN River Valley and Aggasiz Beach Ridges and continued in the Glacial Lakes and Tallgrass Aspen Parklands landscapes. Two additional prairie biologists were hired and co-located in partner offices to facilitate and oversee enhancement work on publicly owned grasslands. Dedicated protection staff continued to identify priority parcels for permanent protection, conduct outreach with landowners, and bring real estate transactions to fruition. A project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities, and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. •Original goals for the project included 1,200 acres protected, 250 acres restored and 6,000 acres enhanced. We fell short of our overall protection goals with 962 acres permanently protected. The shortfall was due to the fact that a number of quality projects arose in the central part of the start, specifically Pope and Kandiyohi counties, where land prices are considerably higher than other parts of the prairie region. Protected lands are held by The Nature Conservancy and are open to public hunting and fishing. We greatly exceeded our enhancement goals with 15,435 acres of permanently protected grasslands managed. Management techniques on grassland enhancement projects included prescribed fire, conservation grazing and/or haying, removal of woody vegetation, and control of exotic invasive species. This work was accomplished through contracts with private vendors and through use of seasonal crews employed by the Conservancy. Three of the five protection projects will require future restoration and are in various stages of site preparation. •A separate restricted internal fund is established by The Nature Conservancy to hold income generated from OHF funded acquisitions. Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying and/or cropping), earned interest, public contributions and donations are held in this account and are used to pay for property taxes and ongoing management costs. This model was originally devised to test the principle of utilizing extractive practices (ie haying and grazing, native seed production) as a method for offsetting land holding and management costs. Through the project we have found that revenues generated lag behind holding costs, thereby necessitating private contributions on the part of the Conservancy for making property tax payments. And while the model does not function as effectively as we had originally hoped, economic activities do help at least partially offset ownership costs and can serve as valuable tools for implementing needed management. •On-the-ground staff provided by this grant convened and are leading coordination and implementation of local technical teams called for in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan; actively identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and FWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and secured other funding for conservation practices, including through the MN DNR's Working Lands Initiative. •Contracts were let with Conservation Corps of Minnesota and private vendors to conduct enhancement activities on new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities greatly improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing jobs for MCC and local businesses. Activities included removal of undesirable woody vegetation, identification and treatment of invasive species infestations, removal of abandoned fences and/or other structures, and related restoration/enhancement activities. 3. How priorities were set: prioritization and prioritization criteria varied with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with Core and Corridor landscapes as defined through the MN Prairie Conservation Plan and Conservancy priority areas. Because this is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by the respective Local Technical Teams and local agency personnel. Criteria for each of these tactics included: a.Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding. b.Restoration: feasibility/likelihood of success, location, cost, availability of seed, and availability of restoration technical assistance. c.Enhancement: urgency/time since last enhancement, feasibility of success, accessibility, availability of enhancement technical assistance, cost, proximity to other habitats and partnership benefits. 4. Urgency and opportunity of this proposal: about 1% of Minnesota’s original native prairie still remains (about 200,000 acres of an original 1.8 million), and the remnants are still being destroyed and degraded today. Less than half is currently protected from conversion, and management capacity is unable to address needs. Additionally, more than 90% of the original prairie pothole wetlands in the western part of the state have also been lost. These losses threaten the viability of Minnesota’s prairie/wetland wildlife and recreational opportunities that depend upon them. Further, huge strides that have been made in supplementing habitat with the Conservation Reserve Program continue to be in imminent danger of being lost as contracts expire. Conservationists have a narrow window of opportunity to protect remaining native grasslands, wetlands and other habitats, restore and protect supplemental grasslands and wetlands, and accelerate enhancement efforts to ensure these habitats are providing optimal value to animals and people. This phase built upon an initiative begun with our Prairie Recovery Project Phase 1, and expanded efforts into 2 new focus areas. 5. Stakeholder involvement and/or opposition: We have worked very closely with conservation interests in developing this initiative and will continue to collaborate with numerous partners.

OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The need to protect and manage functional ecological systems, including ecological processes and component organisms continues to accelerate with increased demands for water and energy, continued habitat fragmentation, loss of species and genetic diversity, invasive species expansion, and changing environmental conditions. Since 1987 the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS) has systematically collected, interpreted and delivered baseline data on the distribution and ecology of plants, animals, native plant communities, and functional landscapes. These data help prioritize actions to conserve and manage Minnesota's ecological systems and critical components of biological diversity. During this project period baseline surveys continued, focused largely in northern Minnesota (see map). One highlight was data collection in remote areas of the patterned peatlands that included three helicopter-assisted field surveys coordinated with other researchers to increase the knowledge of this ecological system and to continue long-term collaborative monitoring. Another goal was to begin monitoring to measure the effectiveness of management and policy activities. For example, prairie vegetation and small white lady's slipper monitoring began in western Minnesota sites in response to ecological measures identified in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan 2010. MCBS also provided data and interpretation related to the DNR's forest certification goals and began monitoring activities in selected sites in the Aspen Parkland and in southeastern Minnesota. Since July 2011 new records of 929 rare features were added to the Rare Features Database. Since 1987, MCBS has added a total of 20,018 new rare feature records.

Since 1987 botanists documented 1,194 rare aquatic plants during targeted aquatic plant surveys of 1,872 lakes. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< Results and interpretation of data included web-delivery, technical assistance and publications that are identified in more detail in the final report. For example, in 2013 MCBS reports of vegetation observed in 1836 lakes were added as a link in the Lakefinder application Native Orchids of Minnesota was published that included substantial new distributional information from survey botanists. Substantial progress was made on a book related to natural history sites in NW Minnesota based in part on MCBS work in that region.",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2013-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Carmen,Converse,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Rd","St Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5083",carmen.converse@state.mn.us,"Education/Outreach/Engagement, Digitization/Online Information Access, Technical Assistance, Analysis/Interpretation, Monitoring, Mapping, Inventory","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-county-biological-survey-0,,,,

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

The variety and number of folk and traditional arts and artists that are presented through festivals increases. Minnesota festivals have greater financial stability and serve broader audiences. The number of Minnesotans who experience the arts through festivals increases. We evaluated our success through ticket sales (we sold out) and through attendee surveys and performer surveys. These surveys overwhelmingly indicated that the event was a success.","The 10th annual Square Lake Film and Music Festival was a rain or shine celebration of local arts held north of Stillwater on August 11th, 2012. As in the previous ten years of the festival, the staple elements of the event consisted of the debut of a commissioned film score, a juried program of Twin Cities’ animation and short films screened indoors during the day and outside at night, live local music, camping, and community. The Square Lake Film and Music Festival featured Minnesota-made music and film. Film genres included: experimental, documentary, comedy, animation, and dramatic. Music genres included jazz, classical trio, folk, blues, indie rock, and electronic/experimental. Musically, we sought to provide a startling blend of performers, combining new groups with local favorites. With respect to film, all the films were made within the last two years. We debuted new work from several artists, and avoided work that has been shown a lot locally. The number of artists we presented in 2012 slightly increased from previous years. We screened about three more films than in 2011. This is a normal degree of variance. In some years we have shown films that are longer in length, which affects the overall number of films we can screen. In 2012, we chose to screen mostly shorter films, allowing us to increase the overall number of filmmakers served. 2: The aspect of folk music at this year's festival was considerable. For years, we have tried to get Spider John Koerner on the bill, and he made a huge impact on our success in 2012. We included a full-page bio of Koerner in our program and asked Spider John to provide further explanation about song origins and motivations during his set. The Pines are a local group that is also on the Red House label with Spider John, and have expressed numerous times that Koerner was a huge influence on their music. In addition to asking The Pines to cover a few of his songs, we also asked them to explicitly describe Spider John's influence on their art. Three performing groups who state that their genre is folk performed at the festival, and all are from Minnesota. These artists were Spider John Koerner, The Pines and International Novelty Gamelan (Indonesian Folk Music). We sought to combine legendary performers with emerging artists. We try to include one to two folk artists each year, so this year’s performers were in line with previous years. The number of Minnesota artists didn't fluctuate much because we only work with Minnesota artists. The strength of our folk offering in 2012 was that Spider John is an internationally recognized influence on folk/blues music. The Pines are walking in his footsteps. International Novelty Gamelan performs a completely different kind of folk music.

A vital force in all life processes, microorganisms play a major role in the river's water quality through the biological and chemical processing they provide and as indicators of how human activity is impacting water quality. However, relatively little is actually known about as much as 99% of the microorganisms present in the river. Improved understanding of these microorganisms and the effects they have on water quality will greatly enhance efforts by federal, state, and local agencies to maintain and improve the Mississippi River's water quality. Scientists at the University of Minnesota are using this appropriation to use DNA sequencing and chemical analysis technologies to capture for the first time a more complete picture of the diversity and function of microorganisms in the river and how they influence water quality. As part of this effort, hands-on student and teacher participation and public engagement through educational exhibits will help improve public understanding of the importance of the river and water quality. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS A metagenomics-based sequencing approach was utilized to characterize the bacterial community at sites along the Mississippi River in Minnesota to understand how these communities were influenced by or indicative of water quality. Results of this study revealed that the bacterial community throughout the river primarily consisted of a small number of highly abundant species that comprise a ""core microbial community"" that was stable both in terms of community membership and inferred functional traits. Variation in community membership and species abundances were primarily influenced by physicochemical parameters (e.g. pH and temperature) rather than spatial distance, and a reproducible community structure occurred annually toward the late summer. Furthermore, specific bacterial orders were related to chemical concentrations that co-varied with surrounding land use, suggesting that increases in abundance of these orders may be indicative of specific types of contamination throughout the river. Therefore, assessment of the total bacterial community provides more information about water quality and contamination sources than could be previously gleaned from traditional enumeration of indicator bacteria like Escherichia coli. In addition to these findings, construction of fosmid libraries to assess resistance of the bacterial community to antibiotics and heavy metals revealed that levels of resistance to both were low throughout the river. Municipal wastewater treatment was not associated with increased antibiotic resistance, but proximity to agricultural wastewater increased the frequency of resistance to the antibiotics kanamycin and ampicillin. Furthermore, the resistances to the heavy metals Cd and Cr were significantly elevated in primarily developed (urban) areas. These results indicate the influence of anthropogenic contaminants on the distribution of functional traits throughout the river. Results of this project as well as dissemination of these results are further discussed in an attached Final Report.

Starting in St. Cloud and stretching north through Stearns and Benton counties, the stretch is governed by 11 different jurisdictions and the communities have no uniform land use controls to protect this shared resource despite population growth and development pressure threatening the health of the river. Stearns County Soil and Water Conservation District is using this appropriation to coordinate an effort between these 11 different local governments to develop and implement specific river protection policies and work with landowners along the river to implement shoreland management practices. Ultimately the effort aims to protect the water quality of the Mississippi River, reduce habitat fragmentation, and prioritize on-the-ground efforts. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS From its Headwaters to the Twin Cities, the Mississippi River has benefited from coordinated management plans and community efforts to protect its water quality and shoreland habitat--except for 26-mile stretch in Central Minnesota. Starting in St. Cloud and stretching north through Stearns and Benton counties, this stretch is governed by 11 different jurisdictions (four cities, five townships and two counties). These communities presently have no uniform land use controls to protect the magnificent river they share. Significant population growth and development pressure and contributing upland pollution could significantly damage the health of the Mississippi River. This project's goal was to restore and protect the natural resources of the Mississippi River and its tributaries, and reduce habitat fragmentation along its banks in central Minnesota. The project coordinated with local units of government to develop and implement specific river protection policies with limited success. Individual landowners were contacted to implement sound shoreland and upland management practices.

Starting in St. Cloud and stretching north through Stearns and Benton counties, the stretch is governed by 11 different jurisdictions and the communities have no uniform land use controls to protect this shared resource despite population growth and development pressure threatening the health of the river. Stearns County Soil and Water Conservation District is using this appropriation to coordinate an effort between these 11 different local governments to develop and implement specific river protection policies and work with landowners along the river to implement shoreland management practices. Ultimately the effort aims to protect the water quality of the Mississippi River, reduce habitat fragmentation, and prioritize on-the-ground efforts. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS From its Headwaters to the Twin Cities, the Mississippi River has benefited from coordinated management plans and community efforts to protect its water quality and shoreland habitat--except for 26-mile stretch in Central Minnesota. Starting in St. Cloud and stretching north through Stearns and Benton counties, this stretch is governed by 11 different jurisdictions (four cities, five townships and two counties). These communities presently have no uniform land use controls to protect the magnificent river they share. Significant population growth and development pressure and contributing upland pollution could significantly damage the health of the Mississippi River. This project's goal was to restore and protect the natural resources of the Mississippi River and its tributaries, and reduce habitat fragmentation along its banks in central Minnesota. The project coordinated with local units of government to develop and implement specific river protection policies with limited success. Individual landowners were contacted to implement sound shoreland and upland management practices. Also, in conjunction with this project a portion of the Sauk watershed was selected as part of the USDA NRCS Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative (MRBI) to reduce pollution entering the river and reducing downstream impacts. Over 50,000 acres had conservation practices planned or applied. Local units of government were offered workshops and technical assistance to implement policies, such as adopting a Natural Resource Overlay District along the river.

For several years, sections of the river have been negatively impacted from too much soil/sediment eroding from the land and washing away into the water. Excess sediment degrades aquatic habitat and feeds algae blooms. This project continues a 2011 Clean Water Fund collaborative effort to develop a plan to reduce the amount of sediment washed into the river. This grant will provide staff time and resources for project development and promotion of 1,875 acres of buffers and 515 acres of wetland restorations. Technical assistance will be provided to landowners for the enrollment of 90 contracts with a total of 1,150 acres of Continuous CRP buffers and 15 contracts with a total of 445 acres of wetland restorations within the entire project area. These conservation practices will work directly to keep soil in farm fields where it belongs, and out of the water. All projects will have a cumulative effect towards reducing the amount of sediment in the water. This project will keep approximately 16,000 tons of soil out of the water each year.

Natural and scenic areas provide for public use, protection of species and natural communities, appreciation of scenic vistas, and scientific and educational opportunities. This appropriation will allow the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to provide up to six matching grants to cities, counties, townships, or school districts for acquisition of approximately 150 acres of new or expanded natural and scenic areas. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSThe overall aim of this project is to ensure protection of natural and scenic resources by helping and encouraging local governments to acquire and protect land for appropriate public use, protection of natural communities, appreciation of scenic vistas, and scientific and environmental education purposes. This is achieved through competitive, matching grants through the Natural and Scenic Area Grant Program that provides financial incentive and ensures the land and natural resources are retained for public use in perpetuity. The primary results of the project were:Six grants totaling $975,000 resulted in the acquisition of 166.9 acres of natural and scenic areas. All grants were matched by local dollars of at least $975,000.Grants included Blue Earth County, acquisition of 41 acres adjacent to the Red Jacket Trail that includes wooded hillsides, meadows and a meandering creek that flows into the LeSueur River; the City of Brainerd, acquisition of 37 acres along the Mississippi River with 1,300 feet of shoreline to provide opportunities for low impact nature based outdoor recreation; the City of Elk River, acquisition of 22.6 acres of historic and scenic property with over 3,300 feet of natural, largely untouched shoreline at the confluence of the Mississippi and Elk Rivers; two grants to the City of Maplewood, acquisition of 48 acres of land that contains rolling hills, bluff top and steep slopes and views from the bluff tops look out over the Mississippi River Valley and Fish Creek; and the City of Prior Lake, acquisition of 18 acres with approximately 1,545 feet of lakeshore and 100 feet of shoreline on Prior Creek.Project administration for the program was completed for $25,000.

The offer to the landowner was based on appraised value and seemed to be competitive with the market at the time. This parcel addressed the loss, degradation and fragmentation of open and brushland habitat within northeastern Minnesota due to natural succession and conversion to other land uses. This has led to a long term decline in the sharp-tailed grouse population and populations of several other wildlife species that use or depend upon these habitats, causing their listing as species of the greatest conservation need. The parcel was identified in conjunction with DNR wildlife professionals and based on criteria in addition to minimum WMA standards that included: habitat restoration potential, landscape scale significance, presence of significant natural communities, future expansion potential, and multiple benefit analysis. In total, $938,190.75 of Outdoor Heritage Funds were matched with $6,766.00 of non-state funding to complete this work.

A list of proposed land acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. The accomplishment plan must include an easement monitoring and enforcement plan.",,"Protected 752 acres of remnant native prairie and 78 acres of associated wetland complexes for a total of 977 acres.",,167200,"The Nature Conservancy Personnel",1715100,,,.41,"The Nature Conservancy","Non-Profit Business/Entity","This appropriation allowed the permanent protection of 977 acres in western Minnesota. These properties included 752 acres of remnant native prairie, 78 acres of associated wetland complexes, 8,950' of stream front, and 9,400' of lakeshore. Lands and easements purchased through this program by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) are transferred to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and become units of the Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge. These lands are owned and managed by the FWS. ",,"The Council’s 25-Year Framework identifies protecting Minnesota’s remaining native prairies as a critical priority. Only a small portion of this once vast prairie still exists. The Minnesota Biological Survey (MBS) identifies approximately 249,000 acres of remaining native prairie. Of these, about half are without permanent protection and at risk of conversion. The Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge was established to preserve, restore, and manage a portion of this remaining prairie and associated habitats. The funding in this appropriation has allowed us to significantly accelerate progress towards these goals. 977 acres in western Minnesota were permanently protected with conservation easements. These properties included 752 acres of remnant native prairie, 78 acres of associated wetland complexes, 8,950' of stream front, and 9,400' of lakeshore. The area protected by the Refuge increased by 18.4%. Data from MBS confirms the conservation value of the lands protected. Of the 977 acres, 811 were classified by the Survey as having Outstanding, High, or Moderate biodiversity significance. Over half, 497 acres, was ranked as Outstanding. The original target for native prairie protection was 744 acres. We exceeded this goal, with 752 acres. The initial goal for total acres-protected was 1,470 acres. This was based on acquiring a mix of lands in Northwest, Central and Southwest Minnesota. Land values vary widely across the state. The highest-quality lands available during this phase were in areas with higher costs. This made it a challenge to accomplish the 1,470 acre goal. In a multi-year program, like this one, individual phases are likely to be over or under the target. It is, however, important that the program can meet-or-exceed its goals over a longer period. Acquisition work with the ML 2010, 2011, and 2012 appropriations is now complete. The acres protected in ML 2010 and 2012 were significantly more than projected. This more than outweighed the shortfall in the ML 2011 phase. Together, the accomplishment plans for the three phases committed to 2,605 acres. A total of 2,796 acres have been protected. Another challenge was the balance between fee and easement acquisition. The appropriation language and original accomplishment plan for this phase permitted the purchase of either fee title properties or permanent habitat easements. The final balance of fee and easement work would depend on the opportunities available. The ‘either/or’ language in the earlier, paper-based accomplishment plans didn’t carry over when the plan was migrated to the online system. The new system didn’t allow ‘or’ situations. The acres all appear under Protect in Fee w/o PILT in the attached Output Tables. In the end, a total of 977 acres of conservation easements were acquired. These were the best conservation opportunities available during this phase. This is borne out by the 744 acres of native prairie protected and the 83% of these lands classified as having significant biodiversity by the Biological Survey. Again, across multiple phases, there is likely to be more balance between fee and easement acquisition. The ML 2010 phase funded more fee acquisition protection. ML 2011 and 2012 purchased more easements. Our current acquisition work, with ML 2014 funding, is doing significantly more fee protection. A couple of additional things to note when reviewing the attached Budget Spreadsheet/Output Tables/Parcel List: First, the Request column in the Budget and Cash Leverage Table is out of date. The figures shown are from the originally approved accomplishment plan. It does not reflect any later amendments. This discrepancy also resulted from the shift from paper to online reporting. Second, the Murray County #3 property on the Parcels tab shows the dollars/acres for only a portion of this parcel. This purchase was split between two appropriations, ML 2010 and 2011. The total cost was $846,225 and the total area was 187 acres. The ML 2010 appropriation paid for $734,623 of this. These costs, and a proportional share of the acres accomplished, were reported with that round. The $111,602 and 25 acres shown here are the remaining amounts.",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Richard,Johnson,"The Nature Conservancy","1101 West River Parkway, Suite 200",Minneapolis,MN,55415,612-331-0790,rich_johnson@tnc.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Lincoln, Lyon, Murray, Otter Tail, Pope","Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/northern-tallgrass-prairie-national-wildlife-refuge-land-acquisition-phase-3,,,,

When it rains, the runoff along Oak Glen Creek runs down bare soil cliffs that are 20 to 30 feet high, causing large amounts of sediment to erode into the creek and make its way to the Mississippi River. This corridor stabilization project will address multiple local and regional priorities and will benefit both cities source water projection efforts. Oak Glen Creek is also a part of the Mississippi River Critical Corridor and the project offers significant fish and wildlife habitat improvements. The magnitude of the problem requires aggressive corrective measures. Grade stabilization cross vanes will be added to reduce in-stream erosion and direct flow to the center of the creek. Boulders will be placed at the toe of the slope on each side of the creek for the entire length of the channel. Where appropriate, the banks will be graded to a suitable slope and stabilized with erosion control fabrics and vegetation. Tree thinning and removal will allow sunlight to penetrate and promote the growth of new deep-rooted vegetation. It is estimated that this project will reduce sediment by 317 tons per year.

We had stuggled in previous quarters to make significant progress due to health related reasons but we were successful in making numerous recordings and language explorations. Consistency in communication was aided by the ability to directly see each other several times this quarter as well. This was particularly helpful in that communications were not as one-way as they have been (master-> apprentice) but instead allowed for apprentice-> master communications more readily. Some lexicon development work has also been made that will continue into Fall 2012 funded by a university endowment. The greatest marked advancement this semester was communicative and cultural competence of the apprentice. The work in language advancement was increased in previous quarters by listening to recordings and self-practice sessions, the enhanced avlillity to practice with the master in authentically and contextually reich sessions allowed fo rthe kinds of interactions that alllow for the gighest domains of speech to emerge. many of hte stories that were learned or recorded will find expression in teacher education programs, particularly in Native early childhood teacher training program (Maawanji'idiwag) that has an emphasis on the Ojibwe language.

Grants shall not be made for activities required to fulfill the duties of owners of lands subject to conservation easements. Grants shall not be made from appropriations in this paragraph for projects that have a total project cost exceeding $475,000. $319,000 of this appropriation may be spent for personnel costs and other administrative costs. Grantees may acquire land or interests in land. Easements must be permanent. Land acquired in fee must be open to hunting and fishing during the open season unless otherwise provided by state law. The program shall require a match of at least ten percent from nonstate sources for grants of $100,000 or less and a match of at least 15 percent from nonstate sources for grants over $100,000. Up to one-third of the match may be in-kind resources. For grant applications of $25,000 or less, the commissioner shall provide a separate, simplified application process. The criteria for evaluating grant applications over $25,000 must include the amount of habitat restored, enhanced, or protected; local support; encouragement of a local conservation culture; urgency; capacity to achieve multiple benefits; habitat benefits provided; consistency with current conservation science; adjacency to protected lands; full funding of the project; supplementing existing funding; public access for hunting and fishing during the open season; sustainability; degree of collaboration; and use of native plant materials. All projects must conform to the Minnesota statewide conservation and preservation plan. Wildlife habitat projects must also conform to the Minnesota wildlife action plan. Subject to the evaluation criteria and requirements of this paragraph and Minnesota Statutes, the commissioner of natural resources shall give priority to organizations that have a history of receiving or charter to receive private contributions for local conservation or habitat projects when evaluating projects of equal value. If acquiring land or a conservation easement, priority shall be given to projects associated with existing wildlife management areas under Minnesota Statutes, section 86A.05, subdivision 8; scientific and natural areas under Minnesota Statutes, sections 84.033 and 86A.05, subdivision 5; and aquatic management areas under Minnesota Statutes, sections 86A.05, subdivision 14, and 97C.02. All restoration or enhancement projects must be on land permanently protected by a conservation easement or public ownership or in public waters as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.005, subdivision 15. Priority shall be given to restoration and enhancement projects on public lands. Subdivision 9 applies to grants awarded under this paragraph. This appropriation is available until June 30, 2015. No less than five percent of the amount of each grant must be held back from reimbursement until the grant recipient has completed a grant accomplishment report by the deadline and in the form prescribed by and satisfactory to the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council. The commissioner shall provide notice of the grant program in the 2011 game and fish law summaries that are prepared under Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.051, subdivision 2.",,"43,525 acres protected, restored or enhanced",,1689500,"Local match",4776300,12000,,2.5,"MN DNR","State Government","The Conservation Partners Legacy Grant Program is managed by the Department of Natural Resources to provide competitive matching grants to local, regional, state, and national non-profit organizations, including governments.",,"The Conservation Partners Legacy Grant Program (CPL) is managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to provide competitive matching grants of up to $400,000 to local, regional, state, and national non-profit organizations, including governments. Grant activities include the enhancement, restoration, or 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. Match may be cash or in-kind resources. All match must be identified at the time of application. CPL Program Staff developed a Request for Proposal and Program Manual that incorporated the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council’s (LSOHC) priorities, solicited applications and worked with applicants to submit scorable applications, oversee the grant selection process, prepare and execute grant documents, review expenditure documentation to ensure recipients are only reimbursed for allowable expenses, make reimbursement payments, monitor grant work, assist recipients with closing out their agreements, and prepare reports as required by the LSOHC. MS 97a.056 Subd. 3a directed the LSOHC to establish a conservation partners grant program to encourage and support local conservation efforts. Subsequent session law established additional guidelines and criteria for this program and authorized the DNR to administer it. Applicants describe the location of the work (county and ecological subsection), activity type, and habitat in their application. They also describe how their actions benefit habitat and fish, game and wildlife. For acquisition projects, applicants describe their parcel selection process. All projects address the priorities in the Minnesota Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan, and Tomorrow's Habitat for the Wild and Rare. Funds for projects under this appropriation were available until June 30, 2015. 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 was no known stakeholder opposition to this program. Grant Application Process A Request for Proposal (RFP) and Program Manual (PM) were posted on the CPL website in early August, 2011. These documents contained grant program information, application requirements and scoring criteria, grant reporting requirements, and state agency contacts. The RFP, PM, and all grant agreements incorporated appropriate principles and criteria from the LSOHC’s Call for Funding Requests – 2012 Appropriations and associated legislation. CPL Program Staff explored ways to reduce any real or perceived barriers in the application process. This included a survey(s) and/or discussion groups involving previous applicants and applicants to similar grant programs, and exploring the use of a pre-application system. The results were incorporated into the FY12 application process. Applications were submitted electronically using CPL’s Online Grant Application System (OLGA). All project sites were mapped using OLGA’s mapping tool. OLGA accepted applications beginning in August, 2011, until the deadline for the first round of grants in mid-September, 2011. The application system did not accept applications during the review process. Grants were selected for funding twice. Ungranted funds from the first cycle were available for use in a following cycle, or were distributed to current grantees to assist approved projects. DNR reserved the right to make additional awards under this announcement, consistent with DNR and Outdoor Heritage Fund policy and guidance, if additional funding became available, or if a grantee could not carry out their project as planned. Grant Selection Process CPL Grant Program Staff reviewed applications to make sure they were complete and met grant program requirements. Technical Review Committee(s), selected by the Commissioner of Natural Resources, reviewed and scored applications based on criteria established by the LSOHC, MN State Legislature, and DNR. These committees included representatives from DNR, BWSR, the University of MN, 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 decision on the projects funded and funding levels. Projects could be fully or partially funded. Every effort was made to evenly distribute the selected grants by geographic location, activity, and funding level, with an objective of granting 50% of the funds to projects above $125,000, and 50% of the funds to projects below $125,000. CPL Grant Program staff worked with grantees to ensure financial reviews, grant agreements, and any other necessary paperwork was completed. Work did not begin until the grant was executed. Project Reviews and Reporting Project reviews were completed as required by Office of Grants Management Policy 08-10, Grant Monitoring. Grantees submitted annual accomplishment reports on forms provided by CPL staff, based on LSOHC report forms. Reports account for the use of grant and match funds, and outcomes in measures of wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat restored, enhanced, and protected. The report included an evaluation of these results. A final report was required by all grantees within 30 days after the project was complete. CPL Grant Program staff submitted accomplishment reports to the LSOHC as required. Accomplishment information was also posted on the CPL website. CPL Administration Budget 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. DNR Land Acquisition Costs Grantees were required to budget for DNR Land Acquisition costs that were necessary to support the land acquisition process for parcels to be conveyed to the DNR. These costs were billed to the grantees on a professional services basis and were paid with either grant or match funds. DNR Technical Support The Division of Fish and Wildlife estimates it provided $70,000 of ongoing technical guidance from Division field staff. This technical guidance helped grantees meet requirements for working on state lands. Grantee Match Grantees were required to provide a 10% match from non-state sources.

Connection plans deliver Minnesota State Parks and Trails' messages to new audiences. The Division of Parks and Trails establishes partnerships to maximize resources in building participation in outdoor recreation. The kids' interactive website creates interactive, age-appropriate content for children 5-11 years old, motivating children to get outdoors.

","The Division of Parks and Trails is working to increase awareness about outdoor recreation opportunities among groups currently underrepresented at state parks and trails (families with young children, people with disabilities, people whose primary language is not English). Instead of waiting for them to come to us for information (by visiting, calling or going to our website), we are going to them by placing eye-catching kiosks in high-traffic locations that they frequent. By enhancing our children's programming on the website, we are encouraging youth to develop a lifelong interest in and stewardship for state parks and state trails. (It's hard to say no to a child who asks to go to a park or to go camping.) People who are new to state parks or state trails often have a difficult time selecting which to visit and may not be aware of the features that make each park unique. Online virtual tours of each location act as trip planning visual aids, helping people select which park or trail they want to visit and establishing what to expect once they arrive.

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.

Some participants would not have been able to be a part of the workshops if we had not made the accommodations we did.","This project addressed language, cultural, and economic barriers to arts participation. The project involved Iraqis and Iraqi-Americans in the process of creating books and videos about their own stories, an artistic process in which they would not otherwise have been able to participate. We identified these barriers through our experience working with the Iraqi refugee community, and in soliciting advice from social service organizations and our refugee mental health liaison. We recruited participants through social service agencies and using local Iraqi community leaders. Where necessary, we provided Arabic translation to participants and made clear in our recruiting efforts that participants did not need to be fluent in English to participants. We reimbursed participants for transportation costs, provided culturally appropriate food at workshop events, and provided rides to participants and traveled to participants' homes when necessary. We took care to offer participants anonymity, and spent a good deal of time talking with participants about the concerns they had in sharing their art with the broader public in Minnesota. Finally, we had an on-call counselor with experience in working with refugee mental health issues. 2: The Advocates for Human Rights, the Iraqi and American Reconciliation Project, and two independent artists came together to give voice to Iraqis living in Minnesota through art that they created in workshops. The art and stories were used to produce educational resources for students. All parties worked together well, and by virtue of the end results of the grant and the fact that the process was smooth, we consider the project to have been very successful. The organizations and artists will host a reception this fall for the participants and the broader public, and will continue to use one another as a resource.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. We achieved our goal in serving thirty-six new youth, and we had seventy-four total participants, including all youth, mentors and parents. We used two methods to eliminate barriers. First, we made the workshops open to all youths and their mentors and/or parents, which, by including adults in the activities, eliminated the barrier to transportation. Secondly, in support of that effort, we promoted the workshops to parents and mentors rather than to youths.","The primary outcome of this project was the provision of three workshops for at-risk youth, culminating in live performances that addressed and eliminated multiple barriers to participation in arts for youth in Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities’ programs. Our organization has served youth for over eighty years. From experience, we know that lack of transportation, lack of resources and lack of a responsible adult to “drive” the event provide the main barriers to arts participation. Youth are usually open to new experiences, but, without an adult to provide encouragement and transportation, they simply cannot manage to participate in those experiences. By inviting parents and mentors to participate, we addressed the transportation barrier, and, by making the event free, we addressed the issue of lack of resources. Due to the structure of our program, we can usually count on an adult mentor to provide transportation to as well as support, encouragement, and organization necessary for participation in arts events. Unfortunately, however, such measures only temporarily eliminate barriers to youth participation, as they cease to be relevant when youth leave our program. 2: We increased the probability that workshop participants will involve themselves in future theater productions. We enjoyed collaborating with the staff at Harmony Theater, as they worked very well with both youth and Big Brothers Big Sisters staff. Harmony reported that our partnership offered them an opportunity to serve a population outside of their traditional white, middle-class demographic, which felt meaningful to them. Recently, Harmony proposed a new joint project between our organizations. We had thirty-six youth and seventy-four total participants in our workshops, which met our participation goal. We leveraged the trust in our relationships with parents and mentors of youth in our programs to promote and encourage participation. We also made participation in the workshops available to parents in addition to youth and their mentors.

Over 200 staff, children and parents attended the theatrical production. A parent event was planned and conducted sharing an Early Bridges lesson with Parents In Community Action families. Our target community and our annual community assessment information indicated that Head Start children and families are often the poorest of the poor in our local community. Low-income families often do not have the financial resources or time to access artistic opportunities for their children. Many families also face language and/or cultural barriers to accessing the arts. The Early Bridges Program was effective in reducing these barriers. They brought the arts directly to the classrooms and provided an opportunity for children and families to attend a theatrical performance. 2: We increased parent participation in the classroom and on field trip days to the Children’s Theatre Company. Due to the grant funding, the agency was able to have performance tickets donated to families that lived in the area for the children and families that did not participate in the grant funded classrooms. Verbal feedback was asked of the participants. Many of this was done verbally through a translator. Parents also signed in on the Family Attendance Sheets with their respective classroom. Teachers, parents and administrators participated by being an audience member in the classroom while the teaching artist acted-out an interactive story. In addition to that, teachers and administrators participated in the actual story-telling production in the classroom.

Barriers in our senior living community for this large group program included: 1) Visual impairments and Hearing Impairments - many seniors’ care plans indicate need of glasses or hearing aids, and/or having moderate to severe visual and/or hearing impairment. Staff and volunteers assisted in helping a smaller group within the large group setting - the close proximity of one staff person to approximately 5-8 older adults allowed them to actively follow and experience the teaching artists’ techniques. 2) Physical Impairments - Whether using a wheelchair, walker, or cane - all participants’ physical abilities were understood via their care plans, and asked to use movement styles best for their individual needs and ability levels. Movement was focused on body brain exercises, warm ups, breathing exercises, dance choreography, and full body approach to creative expression - meaning any body part can become expressive. 3) Memory Impairments - Participants recalled personal history and songs. 2: The partnership provided us with a multi-dimensional framework for focusing on wellness through the arts with seniors at our site.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. Social or human service organizations use arts to help achieve their service goals. Perceived or real barriers to participation are addressed. Evaluation forms were completed by all staff present at performances. These evaluations asked the staff to rate Actor-Educators on their ability to engage the clients, the appropriateness of their energy levels, anti the appropriateness of the activities, among other things. Overall, these evaluations reflect high quality of work that CLIMB Theater prides itself on. When asked to rate the session overall, staff rated this residency an average of 4.87 out of 5.","The customized performances delivered by CLIMB Theatre, on location at our five program centers effectively engaged individuals with significant disabilities in a meaningful and interactive theatrical experience. The key to their success was the care taken to develop props, scripts and performance techniques that effectively bridged the most challenging intellectual and emotional barriers as well as the extremely wide range of cognitive abilities of our clients. The population at Midwest Special Services is distinctive in the severity of their disabilities. While some may have higher levels of function, the majority are vastly more compromised by both physical and developmental disabilities and the additional challenge of serious and persistent mental health concerns and medically fragile conditions. Physical barriers are typically the easiest to mitigate. However, the challenge of meeting the needs of such a broad range of intellectual disabilities required a good deal of creative thinking. The CLIMB Theatre team established a profile of our clients that enabled them to tailor each performance to the differing abilities at each center. Intellectual barriers were mitigated for the duration of the program. 2: This partnership brought a live, customized theatrical experience to over 300 individuals for whom a typical theater going opportunity is not an appropriate option. Due to high level personal care needs, impulse control issues and other medical concerns, the potential for many of our clients to negatively impact the enjoyment of other patrons in a public setting makes it necessary for us to find ways to bring the experience to them.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. Social or human service organizations use arts to help achieve their service goals. Perceived or real barriers to participation are addressed. Through a combination of networking, advertising, and forging partnerships with local businesses, we hope to reach out to three distinct groups that have been previously underserved.","With CurbCulture, the Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and the Pillsbury House + Theatre worked with three distinct groups which may experience barriers to participation in the arts and/or community-building. These groups were inner city, low income youth; neighborhood artists (new and established); and locally-owned businesses on Chicago Avenue. Over eighty neighborhood youth developed an exciting and innovative art exhibit that community members took pride in, thereby building perceived value for the young people by adults in the community. The twenty-one exhibiting artists ranged from internationally known artists to emerging, first time exhibitors. Eighteen business owners whom previously were not connected to either Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association or Pillsbury House became engaged in a formal arts partnership, inviting exhibition attendees to visit their locations. Businesses were given artist sandwich boards to keep, therefore becoming mini neighborhood galleries for the foreseeable future. Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Pillsbury House have worked in this community for a combined 50+ years. From this wealth of experience and conversations with residents, we acknowledge the inadequate level of resources for youth, artists and businesses. CurbCulture invited three underserved groups to work together to create an art exhibit to reflect the uniqueness of the neighborhood. Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Pillsbury House connections with members of these groups are enhanced. Furthermore, youth, artists and businesses established personal connections. Future communication, networking and projects will be easier. 2: Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Pillsbury House partnered to bring three underserved communities together - these were middle school youth, artists from the Powderhorn Park and Central neighborhoods, and the eighteen locally owned small businesses. CurbCulture is a successful example of arts-based creative place-making that knitted community assets together to form this final exhibit. It required participation and buy in from all five constituents. This project solidified Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Pillsbury House’s partnership and formalized its relationship which has led to several significant developments, including: partnering and receiving a 2012 ArtsPlace grant for $250,000, developing ongoing project partnerships, and the continued inclusion of Powderhorn Park neighborhood artists Xavier Tavera and Peter Haakon Thompson, as artists directly involved in future Pillsbury House public art projects. Pillsbury House is an essential partner education in Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association activities such as the Powderhorn Art Fair, the Powderhorn Artist Mixers, graffiti prevention, abatement and, and several place-making projects.

These children would not have been successful in regular acting classes provided by the Duluth Playhouse without specific accommodations. It was the first year that Stage Play did not have to advertise for participants. Families have heard about the many successes of this program and have called to get their child on the waiting list for the next session. Currently we have twelve children on the waiting list for the next session of Stage Play. Barriers were identified by parents of children with autism, by speech/language pathologists, and teaching professionals at the Duluth Playhouse. In the past children with autism were turned away from programming because theater staff did not have the training to engage and manage behaviors of children with autism successfully. The barriers are gradually changing for this population as more acting buddies and staff members are trained. It is felt that doors to theater will be open to this population as a result of this program. 2: There is a strong commitment between the teaching staff at the Duluth Playhouse and the Scottish Rite Clinic for Childhood Language Disorders staff because of the successes of the Stage Play program. Parents have given great feedback through end of the session evaluations. Through this experience parents indicate that they are more likely to enroll their child in other theater events in the future. Funding is the barrier standing in the way of the continued success of this program. Because the Stage Play professional staff has remained constant for the past three years, there has been a great deal of learning/training from both agencies. Many high ticket items such as projectors, equipment, and costumes have been purchased. Future funding would focus on paying for the professionals to organize and execute the program not for equipment needs.

During the series of circles, employees would stop, smile, and dance along with us a bit as they passed our circle. We have already applied for funding to continue the circles next year with Rachel. Blaine Gamst, Executive Director of Ecumen Scenic Shores in interested in increasing the circle participation to include Health Care residents and employees. 2: Our goals going into this project were to have at least 50% of our population involved in circles over the residency, to find noticeable improvements in the feeling of community and teamwork in our building, and to see an improvement in residents who are challenged with memory issues. As noted above, the feelings of community extended beyond the circle and into our employees. Rachel and Michelle noted many instances of memory care patients being more with it after circles, tracking on conversations better or engaging with others, and improving their moods, with greater ability to communicate and remember among dementia folks during and after the circles. We also noted participants using the drumming percussion discussion to work out feelings around loss and life changes. Even though some weren't excited to go before circles, after the circle everyone's mood seemed better.

We evaluated the results of our efforts through pre-and post-activity surveys to parents and caregivers, post-activity surveys to clinical staff, and post-activity facilitated discussions amongst staff and artists. Through their contact with, and knowledge of the children, clinical staff identified economic challenges, parental/caregiver challenges, and the children’s mental health status as the primary barriers to participation in high-quality arts experiences. Barriers were temporarily mitigated for all children by virtue of all participating in the funded activities. Whether barriers were permanently mitigated will vary from child to child based upon family circumstances and the degree to which the child has the skills and is motivated to self-initiate and self-advocate for further arts experiences. Some children certainly have this ability but determining to what extent this is true for all the participating children would require long-term tracking and is beyond the capacity of funding. 2: As a result of collaborating on the project over the course of many weeks, we established productive and rewarding relationships between us and our two partner arts organizations, Upstream Arts and In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre.

This was measured via surveys which frequently noted that without the grant, finances, including transportation, would limit the older adults from participating. Social barriers were also overcome measured via survey results which told us that our older adults ""would not have done this alone, felt they made a contribution to the group, made new friends or strengthened friendships, and found new ways to be creative"" as a result of their experiences. Physical barriers were overcome by having a handicap accessible vehicle, which most of the older adults used, and by having nursing staff attend whenever needed to assist with restrooms and transfers from wheelchairs to theater seats. This was measured by the 100% success in all residents who wished to participate being able to regardless of physical ailments. Physical, social and financial barriers were identified by our older adults prior to submitting the grant application. Concerns were voiced about being nervous to try new things and intimidated by social stigmas relating to hearing or vision loss and on occasion cognition concerns. Thru our surveys we noted that the predominant concerns regarding participating in the future were financial and transportation. The results of our surveys show that barriers were temporarily mitigated when evaluated in the context of ""free, transportation provided and knowing they would be going with friends and staff.""

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

","We selected 60 artists and arts organization personnel to participate in a training program that included: three days of intensive training in November led by local and national leaders in the field and then a follow-up day in February. In addition, we paired each participant with a mentor to develop a practicum goal and provide feedback, tips and advice on delivering quality arts curriculum for older adults. We enlisted the support of the National Center for Creative Aging and their evaluation staff and instruments. We conducted pre and post surveys for each session and each section of the training for the participants and also the mentors. These results are being compiled into a full evaluation report that will be published and used by other states. 2: Working with Susan Perlstein, the founder of the Arts and Aging movement and top local and national master teachers, we developed a comprehensive four day training program for participants. We focused on basic level understanding of key areas of the arts and aging field (mastery and socialization), and then conducted discipline-specific sessions that helped the participants learn practical tips, tools, techniques and approaches for working with older adults.

Monitoring information is used to characterize and assess the extent of pesticide impacts to Minnesota's water resources. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) has been monitoring the state's water resources continuously for more than 25 years. With over two decades of monitoring data, the MDA operates one of the few programs with sufficient long-term data to evaluate changes in water quality over time. Clean Water funding has allowed the MDA to increase the number of detectable pesticides, increase the sensitivity of detection of certain pesticides and increase the overall number of samples that can be analyzed on an annual basis. As a result, Minnesota’s pesticide water monitoring program is one of the most comprehensive programs in the country and is regarded as a national leader. The MDA increased the number of detectable pesticides from 44 in 2009 to 185 in 2022. Pesticides on the new method are now being quantified at a parts-per-trillion (ppt) level, which is a shift from the previous parts-per-billion (ppb) level. Approximately 1600 pesticide samples were submitted for analysis during 2010, an increase of 600 samples compared to 2009. This increase of 600 samples should be maintained, but may be lower if dry weather conditions persist. To learn more about our monitoring program, please visit MDA's Clean Water Fund website or the MDA's pesticide monitoring website. ","In 2011, the MDA laboratory purchased equipment for a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analytical methods. This switch to new methods has greatly expanded the MDA's monitoring capability. Whereas in 2009, MDA routinely analyzed for approximately 44 chemicals requiring three different analytical procedures. Clean Water Funds have supported an increase in the number of detectable pesticides from 44 in 2009 to 185 in 2022. The most significant advancement of the new methods is the ability to quantify concentrations for many of these chemicals at much lower levels. ","In general, the MDA looks for pesticides that are widely used and / or pose the greatest risk to groundwater or surface water.

Clean Water funding has allowed the MDA to increase the number of detectable pesticides, increase the sensitivity of detection of certain pesticides and increase the overall number of samples that can be analyzed on an annual basis. As a result, Minnesota’s pesticide water monitoring program is one of the most comprehensive programs in the country and is regarded as a national leader. The MDA increased the number of detectable pesticides from 44 in 2009 to 185 in 2022. Pesticides on the new method are now being quantified at a parts-per-trillion (ppt) level, which is a shift from the previous parts-per-billion (ppb) level. Approximately 1600 pesticide samples were submitted for analysis during 2010, an increase of 600 samples compared to 2009. This increase of 600 samples should be maintained, but may be lower if dry weather conditions persist. To learn more about our monitoring program, please visit MDA's Clean Water Fund website or the MDA's pesticide monitoring website. ","In 2011, the MDA laboratory purchased equipment for a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analytical methods. This switch to new methods has greatly expanded the MDA's monitoring capability. Whereas in 2009, MDA routinely analyzed for approximately 44 chemicals requiring three different analytical procedures. Clean Water Funds have supported an increase in the number of detectable pesticides from 44 in 2009 to 185 in 2022. The most significant advancement of the new methods is the ability to quantify concentrations for many of these chemicals at much lower levels. ","In general, the MDA looks for pesticides that are widely used and / or pose the greatest risk to groundwater or surface water. The MDA follows a pesticide selection process which prioritizes the specific compounds to be tested.

As the demand for bioenergy feedstocks increases in Minnesota and elsewhere, land use changes could impact wildlife. However, with proper management strategies it is possible that bioenergy production could actually improve conditions for wildlife rather than make them worse. This appropriation is allowing scientists at the University of Minnesota to continue developing best management practices for working prairies that maximize biomass harvesting while also promoting wildlife conservation and associated habitat diversity. This project is part of a broad effort at the University aimed at figuring out how to sustain Minnesota resources while improving the rural economy and developing energy independence. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Many wildlife areas and conservation lands were formerly marginal agricultural fields that have been converted into rich habitats of grasses and flowering plants. That habitat traditionally required maintenance by prescribed burning. However, mowing can be more feasible and can provide future commodity incentives through a carbon-negative energy source. Our prevailing question was how grassland areas could be harvested annually without upsetting their ability to support wildlife. We organized over 1,000 acres into 60 production-size, 20-acre plots spanning the temperature gradient in western Minnesota. The plots were harvested in prescribed intensities and patterns each fall from 2009-2012 after plants had senesced and migratory wildlife left. Each year, surveys of songbirds, gamebirds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and plants were conducted and bioenergy potential calculated. Our results showed that bioenergy can be harvested sustainably without harming resident wildlife by following simple protocols developed during the project. Specifically, leaving unharvested refuges of 5-10 acres rotated annually in a 20-acre plot minimized significant impact on wildlife, and we recommend such refuges as best practices. Harvesting without any refuge negatively affected some wildlife, specifically prairie and meadow voles, a shrew, sedge wren, common yellow throat, clay-colored sparrow, swamp sparrow, waterfowl nesting, and potentially native bees. Deer mice, grasshopper sparrows, common grackles, spiders, flies and beetles increased with harvest. Plant cover and biomass did not change significantly during our harvesting tests. We cut and analyzed over 3,000 tons of biomass with yields ranging from 0.6-1.8 tons/acre and projected ethanol yields averaging 108-gallons/ton. Recommendations for best harvesting equipment are low weight-to-tire-width ratio, easily repaired, and readily cleaned between fields. The broad consensus among wildlife experts is that diverse ecosystems offer habitat that is superior for a spectrum of wildlife, The overall significance of this project is that it identified and tested better methods for maintaining such habitat on public and private grasslands of Minnesota. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< During this six-year project the Environmental Trust Fund and other substantial federal and local funds have resulted in two graduate theses, 26 publications, posters and presentations, five outreach events and newspaper articles, nine symposia, a website, a publically available dataset carrying the raw data and metadata supporting our conclusions, and a draft Best-Management-Practices document. That draft document has been formatted professionally for publication, with release scheduled this calendar year. Some managers in the Minnesota DNR have begun using harvesting as a grassland management tool on Wildlife Management Areas and through Cooperative Farm Agreements, and we expect that this can expand and become routine as project results, including the Best-Management-Practices document, are published and disseminated broadly.

The Tuesdays with Morrie production will also serve as a catalyst to launch a community end-of-life discussion, featuring a panel of professionals in the medical community, the financial sector and community leaders specializing in hospice and palliative care. In addition to this community-wide discussion with local community and business leaders regarding the important of end-of-life care, the Tuesdays with Morrie play will also work in partnership with the new Honoring Choices initiative in St Cloud named, æLight the LegacyÆ. It is the mission of Light the Legacy to make end-of-life discussions common practice with families, removing the fear and stigma associated with having these types of conversations. Outcomes we aim to achieve with the community roundtable discussions from the Tuesdays with Morrie are: Educate the public about advance care planning: planning for future medical care when you are unable to make your own decisions. Inform individuals how to choose a health care spokesperson (the agent"" specified in the ""Health Care Proxy"") and what to do which ensure wishes are understood and honored. Increase families comfort level in discussing death and dying, while promoting conversations and appropriate actions that will lead to the completion or an update of the Health Care Proxy form. On the artistic front, part of the mission for Pioneer Place Productions is to produce plays that are seldom seen in the Central Minnesota area and to bring to their stage to a caliber of talent and performance that local patrons would certainly otherwise see only at a venue in the Twin Cities. The Tuesdays with Morrie production will highlight the very best that the Pioneer Place venue has to offer the community û a smaller, intimate setting that brings the actors into such close physical distance from the patrons that the only natural result is for the patrons to be intensely engaged in the production. In that regard, this production is the quintessential Pioneer Place type of show. The nature of the Tuesdays with Morrie production, coupled with the intimacy to hold a community roundtable discussion on such a sensitive topic, will be a perfect match for the Pioneer Place venue.Quantitative evaluation plans for this particular project are difficult to measure, as the process of end-of-life discussions is a gradual one, using a multi-faceted approach to inform and educate a variety of constituents. By using the Tuesdays with Morrie play, we hope to use art as a medium to reach out to audiences who may not typically engaged in these conversations at health care offices. Additionally, using art as a medium which is accessible and entertaining to most, we are able to offer heightened community awareness surrounding the issue to generate end of life discussions amongst the general public.

Increased attendance at the Art Crawls throughout the year. While the number of people attending the regular Art Crawls is growing and they are successful in bringing the public downtown to appreciate and purchase artists' work, we want more! The additional excitement will draw more people, who will then return for regular crawls throughout the year. Expanded Art Crawl advertising and marketing will bring in more people from the surrounding areas - from Brainerd to Alexandria to Monticello to Mille Lacs. Regional patrons, once they see what we have to offer will be encouraged to return to downtown St Cloud for shopping, future crawls, and other arts activities. 2. Increased public awareness and knowledge of our regional artists, musicians, actors, writers, and arts organizations and promote their work. By trying out working with clay, or painting, or seeing artists at work making music, dancing or acting, patrons will be inspired to take a class, attend a play or go to a concert. Organizations will have the opportunity to promote their seasons and patrons will be able to develop relationships with the artists and purchase their work. 3. Expanded organizational ability and marketing effectiveness of the Collaborative. Our summer intern(s) will build on the strides made by last summer's interns, exploring new opportunities in print, radio, and social media advertising. The intern will also develop promotional materials, handle logistics for the placement of musicians and actors, interface with participating performers, and design organization materials to increase the efficiency and organizational capacity of the Collaborative. This can be beneficial to the interns as well, attracting talented individuals to the field of arts management and promotion, providing an opportunity to try it out. 4. Increased diversity of participating artists, adding at least two performing groups of ethnic diversity that represent members of our community. This might include groups like the Nu-Way Choir and the drummers from the Boys and Girls Clubs led by Buddy King, or others from the new members of our community.Evaluation Plan/Methods: 1. We will count patrons who come to the Art Crawl. Since we have some attendance estimates from past crawls, we can compare the numbers and evaluate the increased numbers. 2. We will survey patrons, artists, venues, and organizations participating in the crawl to evaluate this year's experience and evaluate whether they see an increase in public awareness. We will ask how they found out about the crawl to measure our marketing effectiveness. 3. As a group we will assess the experience of the 2012 Sizzling Summer Art Crawl, evaluating what we learned, the systems that were produced that will lead to sustainability, what went well and what problems still remain. 4.

For the Briggs' Lake Concert, the Lewis House Dedication, the Star Rail Museum Dedication, the 125th Anniversary Exhibit Concert at the Stearns County Museum, and possibly for the opening ceremonies for the CanAm Games, we plan to not only help the various groups celebrate their event, but also create new patrons for the Saint Cloud Municipal Band by introducing ourselves to different groups of individuals. Each of our concerts includes interactions with the band director explaining the history and stories behind the pieces we play so people can understand and relate to the compositions. In this way, we instruct as well as offer a potentially new basis in which patrons can understand what the composers had in mind. Based on last summerÆs Barden Park Survey, we expect to again see the results that support the preferences of taxpayers when the Legacy Grant was created by voters on November 4, 2008. Last summer, our patrons showed that many were families composed of several generations coming to the concert. Several noted that our performances were unique, not available in other cities or in other states. The Saint Cloud Municipal Band Concerts are a source of civic pride, and great entertainment. About demographics: Great performance û sad it is last û grandson and daughter really interested and look forward to Thursday! Really like marches û my brother and son belonged to the band Threeû year old Shane marched all night and made friends with the drummers! Great fun to bring grandkids and watch them get into the music.We plan to continue surveying our patrons. We added a question about the zip codes of our patrons who attended the 2011 Fall Paramount Concert to get a better idea of the market area we serve. Our market for that concert drew people from the Twin Cities as well as from Central Minnesota. We also ask about music preferences, ages, and comments the patrons have about the individual performances. When we gather sufficient numbers of surveys from various demographics and zip codes, we can do cross-tabulations to determine any statistically significant differences. With this information, we can better serve our patrons by playing what they know they like as well as gently introduce new musical genres into their eveningÆs entertainment. In addition to surveys, individuals in the audience will come up and chat with band members.

We are trying to open access to this arts experience to everyone. 1: Reach a new audience. Attendance at this event would include 25% first time attendees. By programming a concert with the Fabulous Armadillos we will have a built in additional audience. All of their St Cloud performances are often sold out. We anticipate they will assist us in selling out this performance as well. Getting new people to hear the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra will bring new audience to the orchestra for the rest of the season. 2: Introduce the new Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra to the community. We have spent 2011-2012 seeking a new artistic leader. Advance promotion will create excitement at meeting the new orchestra conductor. This will be his first concert as the Artistic Director for the orchestra. 3: Provide the musicians of the orchestra with a challenging artistic experience. The musicians of the orchestra are extremely talented and want to be challenged. The orchestra musicians want to play music that inspires them to create a quality arts experience for the audience. This program will do this by offering the musicians the opportunity to perform some of the best known classical music literature. The musicians benefit from the experience of performing this music and the audience benefits from the opportunity to listen to the performance. This concert will also give the musicians an opportunity to perform a new genre of music when they accompany the Fabulous Armadillos. 4: Collaborate with Saint Cloud State University and the University Programming Board to present this program on campus. Saint Cloud State University has been a supportive partner since the inception of the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra. We also have a close relationship with the program board of Saint Cloud State University, and will ask them to assist us in promoting this event. Last year the UBP Board was very active in helping us promote the September Preview Concert. 5: Sell additional season tickets. At least 25 new patrons will purchase tickets for regular season concerts presented by the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra. Our efforts will not stop with the completion of this event. We will continue to reach out to this audience and encourage them to attend our concerts throughout the 2012-2013 concert season. Our ultimate goal is to develop a long-term relationship with our community. All of this will add up to a wonderful musical experience for the audience and the musicians. The outcome of this project is to provide a new opportunity for a meaningful arts experience for all members of our community.The Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra measures the effectiveness of all of our programs by direct response from our audiences, staff and the members of the orchestra. In the case of a concert, attendance is a measure of reaching our goals. Increased concert attendance indicates we are offering a program that is interesting, promoted effectively, and meets the needs of the audience and the musicians. A full-house indicates we have done a good job from programming to promotion to presentation. This will be the third year we have offered a Preview Concert as part of our programming. The audience has grown steadily over time. The first year we had 250 patrons and last year that amount nearly doubled to 400 patrons. This has become an important part of our season. Audience surveys and feedback are used to help the staff and the Board of Directors determine the effectiveness of the programs and their service to the public. Audience acceptance of performance and programming is a primary tool for evaluation. We invite and receive significant feedback, and we strive to understand the trends that develop in order to respond to the needs of our audience. We will use an on-line survey to gain feedback from the audience on additional elements of this performance. We will encourage concert goers to go to our website and complete the on-line survey. We are looking for feedback on the program we presented, the marketing tools we used and the overall satisfaction with the experience. This information will be used to assist us in future planning. We receive feedback from the musicians via direct feedback and through the Musician Committee. The committee represents the sections of the orchestra and is instrumental in guiding the process of the orchestra and providing feedback to the Executive Director and the Board of Directors.","This concert featured the orchestra performing music that introduced the 2012-2013 concert season.

I like the explanation and background of the songs and writers. They do a great job of this. I love good music and the band is the tops.Evaluation Plan and Methods are as follows: Outcome 1 is measured by delivering live theater to Elk River and surrounding areas: by auditioning, rehearsals, and the presentation of a series of live performances for the region at the end of July. The extensive rehearsal process and a series of performances before local audiences will facilitate evaluation of outcomes 1, 2, 3. This will occur by training and refining skill sets of performers and stage management, by giving artists an opportunity to perform live theater, and by having a local, affordable option for audiences to view a unique theater offering. Have the actors, directors, and stage crew mastered the material and given competent performances? This is no small feat as exquisite timing is involved to pull this particular production off well. The staging, sets, props acquisition and management, and timing and delivery of lines, entrances and exits, are more complex than the average stage production- The artistic directors evaluate performers and production crew verbally and/or in writing for outcome. 2. Audiences will be offered an optional stage tour by an experienced cast or board member during one of the two intermissions in each performance. Outcome 3: We will conduct verbal and written surveys after the tour to ascertain audience opinion and whether the organization is meeting the goals we set for this production. We believe this tour/survey combination will be effective for outcome 3 because the audience members who choose to participate will be able to shift perspective briefly to see theater art in a way that few ever do...from behind the scenes. This invites them to move to a more intimate level of participation beyond the passive observer and into the role of active participant.

Educational outcomes: each of our six choirs will learn specific musical, dance, and theatrical material with the outcome of performing two performances. There is a structured weekly schedule of incremental instruction for each age group, one hour each week for youngest choirs, approximately two hours per week for middle and high school age choirs. Additional instructional and preparation time is employed in the week prior to each major project. 2. For each choir student to grow in understanding of singing and style by performing a variety of repertoire that will expand their knowledge base according to their age and commensurate with their skill level. Members learn how different musical styles need to be approached differently from a technical perspective. 3. For students to grow in understanding of music theory, especially harmony, through practice and performance of multi-part music which requires each member to learn to listen intently while singing in order to hear the proper balance of parts. 4. To culminate all weekly, structured learning through a concert performance, so students will profit by their hard work and preparation by presenting the results of their efforts for family, friends, and the community. 5. For the members of the choir, the family members, and the community to observe performances from staff at a very high level, and to witness what professionalism and musical expertise looks like. To increase awareness of choir families and community of the talent of the staff so that they see artistic staff experience and skills as performers and musicians and not just teachers. 6. To maintain educational and artistic offerings of the Command Performance Choirs in the region. 7. To offer accessibility to our performances for seniors in the communities that we perform. 8. Boys/Girls Club collaboration: this is beneficial to advance our mission and the mission of the Boys/Girls Club to provide arts education or enrichment opportunities youth in the region.Outcomes 1 and 2 are measured based on musical exactness, instructor feedback, improvement of singing, technique and interpretation as assessed by the instructors throughout the course. Learned material: students learn material and performance skills by rehearsing, practicing, skill building, and performing. Outcome 3 is evaluated by constant critique by the instructors during instructional and rehearsal times, and Outcome 4 is measured by conducting the concert and surveying members of the choir and the families involved to gauge artist and audience response and appreciation. Outcome 5 is evaluated by post concert assessment or survey of choir members and families. Outcome 6 is evaluated by the continuity of our program and the maintenance of artistic program offerings for regional youth. We will achieve outcome 7 by direct contact with local senior housing facilities, to personally invite them to our performances.

15963,"Project Grant",2012,2000,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","PERFORMANCE: Minnesota Center Chorale performs in the GREAT Theatre’s Shakespeare Festival, primarily singing traditional choral works with Shakespearean texts with unique accompaniments. The choir sings with a small chamber group of instrumentalists playing viola da gamba (15th century string instrument), bassoon, 2 recorders, harp, and bass clarinet. ATTENDANCE/TICKET SALES: There is a twenty-five percent increase in attendance from the Chorale’s last traditional concert in May 2011 where we anticipated 150 attendees. Twenty-five percent of attendees purchase ShakesPASSes, $20 tickets sold on the Festival website that allow patrons to purchase half priced tickets for Festival events, including Minnesota Center Chorale’s concert. RESPONSES: Choir members discover how words written by the same person are expressed in a variety of musical styles and how composers work within each style. For patrons, a short questionnaire about what they have learned stimulates conversations at the reception. In conversations with staff and performers, they express enthusiasm for the concert by stating they enjoyed the quality of the Chorale’s performance. Patrons share their satisfaction with the works selected and the many musical periods they represent. They also express their appreciation of the program’s educational aspects by referencing well known Shakespearean texts and how they have been represented in the performed musical works. Those who fill out the multiple choice questionnaire (and are entered into a drawing for a prize) answer the questions correctly. Videotaped recording: A video recording of the concert will reveal how performers and audience members react during the performance. We will examine how singers respond through their musical expressiveness and body language. Do they appear emotionally connected to the music? What do their facial expressions communicate? Do they expressively deliver the text? Audience applause is given after every piece, but its length and intensity can vary greatly. Applause, as well as body language (restless or attentive) and facial expressions (bored or positively engaged), will tell us how well the music resonates with the audience's emotions and intellect. -Verbal feedback after the concert: Conversations at the reception often draw out true feelings about a performance. During this casual time, Minnesota Center Chorale members and Ms. Martinson will talk with patrons to further assess their responses. Minnesota Center Chorale will be conscious of behaviors/attitudes. Are patron comments merely polite and reserved? Are patrons enthusiastic and specific about what they enjoyed? Did they share what they did not enjoy? The Director will collect information/comments and include them in a report for the Board. - Concert Attendance: By tracking attendance, we can determine that a concert of traditional choral repertoire with Shakespearean texts is an attractive combination to area patrons. - Counting the number of Festival ShakesPASSes sold to Chorale attendees: A $20 ShakesPASS, a ticket allowing all residents to purchase Festival concert tickets at half price, is new to Minnesota Center Chorale. The pass was created by GREAT Theater to bring several arts organizations together for a multi-faceted event. Typically, Minnesota Center Chorale’s half price tickets are offered to only a small, specific group of individuals, making them less significant in attracting patrons. The number of purchased ShakesPASSes will help determine how half-priced tickets given to all patrons affects attendance/sales, particularly for concerts with traditional repertoire. We will then use these figures to evaluate our current discount price policies and to see if festival-type collaborations boost ticket sales. By counting how many attendees purchased ShakesPASSes from the Festival website, we will know that our Chorale patrons were exposed to the overall Festival offerings. Not an absolute indicator, it nonetheless demonstrates the tickets were bought through the Festival website and that these patrons plan to attend at least one other event to justify the cost of a ShakesPASS. - Questionnaire after the concert: We recognize that an audiences’ increased knowledge from a concert can only be partially measured. However, the concert experience is guided and enhanced by Minnesota Center Chorale’s program notes and brief comments from the Director.","Outcomes in our proposal are listed under the headings of Performance, Responses, and Attendance/Ticket Sales.

Measured against average March concert attendance figures over the past five years, this concert should attract an increase over the past average. Numbers of audience members attending the conductor chat and interacting with Dr. Burgdorf and other Buffalo Community Orchestra principals after the concert will be witnessed by Buffalo Community Orchestra Board members to be considered as part of the post-concert evaluation. The motivation of young musicians who stay with the Suzuki program long enough to enable them to play orchestral pieces on Buffalo Community Orchestra's level will be gauged by the numbers of students increasing year after year, eventually joining Buffalo Community Orchestra as regular members even by the middle school ages. We expect these student members of Buffalo Community Orchestra to remain steady or grow beyond the 20% level. Buffalo Community Orchestra membership is a time and energy commitment for them beyond their involvement in school orchestras, but it launches them into adult and lifetime music, which is a goal of Buffalo Community Orchestra.Audience numbers exceeding 350 and ticket sales of at least $1900 will reflect how well our publicity has reached out into nearby communities; this figure is derived from past March ticket sale records, especially for 2009, when Dr. Burgdorf last performed.

Thus, listeners will come away with greater knowledge, understanding, and appreciation for chamber music than they arrived with. All three of the performers are committed to passing on their love of classical music to succeeding generations.During this season, we will be using audience surveys at every concert, to find out attendees' opinions on the ensembles and the repertoire of each event. In addition, the surveys will seek information about other aspects of our events, including logistical information (e.g., preference in venues, concert times, etc.) and people's expectations and whether they were met. This will provide specific feedback to supplement the usual anecdotal feedback which we receive at receptions after concerts, where there are always lively discussions.

We expect to attain the following outcomes: 1) 12 choral directors, 25 local choral ensemble members, and 25 local vocal and/or conducting students will attend the concert and remain to participate in the Q and A following the performance. They will leave the concert and the Q and A inspired to do better in their own work, energized that their work brings joy to others. 2) We expect 20 hits"" on the Chanticleer Q and A session (should they give permission) on the Facebook link that contains the entire session. 3) 30 local high school students will respond to our efforts to inform them of this opportunity. In fact, we are hoping that the entirety of the Youth Chorale of Minnesota will be in attendance. They have already been informed of this concert, though it is a year away.We plan to measure our goals by using the following tools: 1) a survey will be included in the programs that are handed out to each person attending the concert. We have done this in the past, but get so very few of them returned. So this time we will be offering an incentive for patrons to fill them out prior to leaving the concert - though what that incentive will be is as of yet undetermined. We are modeling the survey after one that appeared in the recent VocalEssence concert and last summer's Prudence Johnson A Girl Named Vincent concert. 2) A similar survey will be given to all those who stay for the Q and A. We believe that feedback from this particular group will be easier to capture than data from the general public that attends the concert. This smaller group will likely be arts professionals and serious arts aficionados, all of whom fully realize the extreme importance of capturing critical data and feedback for both the Paramount and for our Minnesota legislators. 3) Ticketing system data will also provide us with information that we need to know in order to gauge if our geographic and attendance goals have been achieved. Ticket data is able to tell us how many patrons from the 4-county area enjoyed the concert. 4) A random polling with a show-of-hands of those in attendance at the Q and A will also be a tool for measurement. A show of hands will give us immediate feedback regarding the composition of the group that remains after the performance. We are able to ask ""How many of you are students?""; ""How many are choral conductors?""; ""How many sing in a local choir?""; ""How many are from out of town?"" and other similar questions. 5) Facebook feedback is becoming more and more a source of information. The Q and A, with the permission of the members of Chanticleer, will be videotaped and inserted into a Facebook page.

Through the outreach and educational programs that are associated with this production and the Shakespeare Festival as a whole, we will bring this art form directly to this audience. Secondly, we hope entertain and engage our theatre-going public with a creative, professional production of one of the world's greatest works. Third, we will employ professional artists who have dedicated much of their lives to performing classic theatre by supplying them with a venue and audience. Finally, and very importantly, we hope to continue to build strong relationships with other arts organization in Central Minnesota by participating in this collaborative effort. By introducing students to classic theatre at a young age, our hope is this art form will be allowed to continue into coming generations. It is critical that the experience of Shakespeare is positive from the onset of introduction. And that is why our artistic team will be personally engaged with this young audience through the outreach described previously. Additionally, through the Artist Spotlight series, we will reach out to adult audiences to share in a talkback session where we can all learn from Shakespeare's message and how it applies to our world today. Our artists will grow in their craft be sharing their experiences and knowledge with a younger generation which will not only enhance our youth, it will give our artists a positive experience with our community.Participation will be a key measurement tool to ensure we are meeting our goals. Besides measuring the success at the box office by monitoring the attendance, the outreach programs associated with this show will be measured as well. Working with Sartell High School, Sauk Rapids-Rice, and the St Cloud School District, the goal is to pair our creative team and cast with students to further research, discuss, and workshop Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet is on the curriculum in the school districts and talks have already taken place to bring our team into the schools as part of the Shakespeare Festival. Adult audiences will also be measured through two mechanisms. First, a survey is being developed that will be distributed to audiences garnering feedback as to the Shakespeare Festival concept and what their experience has been. Secondly, Pioneer Place will host an Artist Spotlight on Monday, March 26 where our audience is invited to participate in a free talkback session with the artistic team of Romeo and Juliet for an evening of question and answers regarding the performance and creative choices.","One of the key outcomes we were trying to achieve with this project was to engage High School-aged students to not only see the show, but to also participate in a workshop with our professional staff.

The common theme for all the music of this concert is that it is related to ShakespeareÆs classic story of love and loss, Romeo and Juliet. All of this will create a wonderful musical experience for the audience and the musicians. Goal 2 Give 75 musicians the opportunity to rehearse and perform major classical repertoire on stage for our community. Goal 3 Provide a student musician with the opportunity to perform with a full orchestra in a concert hall setting Goal 4 Give our audience and the musicians the opportunity to experience and evaluate guest conductor Keitaro Harada. Harada is one of four guest conductor candidates for the 2011-2012 Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra season. After this concert, the audience and the musicians will have the opportunity to provide feedback to the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra Search Committee. Goal 5 Provide an educational experience for the audience. Mr. Harada will provide a pre-concert discussion that will enhance the audience experience. He will talk about the music, the composers and the historical context of the compositions. We anticipate 125 members of the audience will participate in this event. Goal 6 Provide a social experience for the audience and the orchestra. After the concert we will provide dessert and coffee for the audience. This provides an opportunity for the musicians, conductor, soloists and audience to discuss the event. We anticipate 300 audience members will stay after the concert to talk to each other and the performers.The Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra measures the effectiveness of all of our programs by direct response from our audiences, staff and the members of the orchestra. Audience surveys and feedback help the staff and the Board of Directors determine the effectiveness of the programs and their service to the public. Audience acceptance of performance and programming is a primary tool for evaluation. We invite and receive significant feedback, and we strive to understand the trends that develop in order to respond to the needs of our audience. Because this is a guest conductor season, we will actively seek feedback from the musicians and the audience after each concert. There is a specific survey used by the audience to obtain their feedback after this concert and another tool to be used by the musicians of the orchestra.

There is nothing like this program in the Central Minnesota area, and for our singers who live in rural communities, this is a special and unique opportunity to be a part of an organization that prepares select high school singers for performances of the highest caliber for the widest possible audience. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is not just æanotherÆ high school singing group, either -our singers drive from near and far to participate in an organization that values high artistic quality and the opportunity to perform with other professional ensembles. The locations for rehearsals and the final performance are centrally-located and accessible so as to make it easier for youth, parents, and concert patrons from outlying areas to attend. Youth Sing Out promotes teamwork. Youth Sing Out promotes collaboration. Each respective choir director teaches fundamental music to the singers during the rehearsals leading up to the performance with high expectations for artistic quality. Singers gain increased self-confidence through rehearsals and performances and a sense of achievement when they know that they have performed well. This type of project also teaches youth that by working together, a choir produces one tremendous sound that one person alone cannot accomplish. It develops and encourages an interest and passion for the arts amongst the singers û they support each other, are able to see and hear the quality sound that is produced, and most certainly, by listening to the other choirs perform, they learn new skills to take back and use in future musical opportunities. Additionally, Youth Chorale provides young singers from The St. JohnÆs BoysÆ Choir and Cantabile GirlsÆ the opportunity to move on to another high artistic organization once they have graduated from their respective choir. Once in 9th grade, they can audition for a spot to become a part of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota.One of the ways to measure our goals is simply through observation û verbal audience reaction, verbal feedback from choir families, ticket sales, and support from the community. Following the concert, and in the weeks to come, the feedback from the children and parents alike will help us determine if our goals were successful, or if anything different needs to be done in preparation for next yearÆs collaborative concert. Another way to measure is that following the concert, singers will then take the skills they learned from rehearsals and performing back to their respective classrooms, places of worship, or community groups. The opportunity for young people to interact with other children who love to sing, and the sustenance and further development of a cultural, musical, community are all benefits we expect to achieve from this project. In addition, our goal to promote a life-long involvement in music can be measured by the number of singers participating in their college choirs and/or choosing music as their career, auditioning for musical theater in their hometowns, and singing at their places of worship. They have a love of singing and are willing to showcase their talents in their communities. There are a number of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, St. JohnÆs BoysÆ Choir, and Cantabile GirlsÆ Choir members who have taken it upon themselves to get involved in their communities outside of regular rehearsals.","The Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is the only choir specifically for high school singers in a 90-mile radius.

As a result, more young people and parents attend the concert. At the post-concert reception, all audience members have an opportunity to speak to members of a nationally recognized boysÆ choir. First Responders attend a multigenerational choral concert, perhaps for the first time. The audience reflects on the consequences of 9/11 and how peace among cultures can be achieved. They express their thoughts about the concert at the reception. They feel honored by their special recognition within the concert. Projected number of ticket sales will be met or exceeded. All participants are exposed to hopes of greater peace through the therapeutic nature of music. This modern form of African American story telling will give our students the chance to hear the stories of others while sharing stories of their own. Audience members experience the blend of young and mature voices, hear new repertoire, and gain insight into the healing process of music. They express their thoughts and feelings about the concertÆs recognition of 9/11 through a written survey. Minnesota Center Chorale and Land of Lakes Choirboys learn what the audiences felt and thought about the concert and use the information in future planning. The audience learns more about the Land of Lakes Choirboys and its programs. Young people in attendance recognize the joy and satisfaction of their peers who are engaged in choral singing. Some will think about or decide to join a choir while they are in school. Minnesota Center Chorale members are musically enriched by singing with a talented and well trained boysÆ choir. They learn new music that is not only contemporary and topical, but that encourages peace among cultures. The boys, ages 8 through 14, learn more about an event they were too young to remember but shapes their world. They sing with mature male voices that provide models for lifelong choral participation. They share their musical experiences with other children of the St Cloud area.QUALITATIVE MEASUREMENTS Audience members will find a survey inserted into their programs. A sampling of survey questions will include the following: Has the music performed contributed to your sense of healing in light of the events that took place on 9/11/01? Does the repertoire performed provide you with the hope of peace? Are there specific phrases from a song that you find especially striking? Their responses will help determine the effectiveness of Minnesota Center Chorale's programming and assist in future planning. During the reception, members will be encouraged to seek out audience feelings/reflections prompted by the concert's theme of peace as well as how the Nordic Choir may have impacted those responses. Results will be shared with the Minnesota Center Chorale Director and Board. After the concert, the Nordic Choir Director will speak with the young singers to assess what they may have learned about 9/11 and in what ways the music was meaningful to them. Their input will be shared with the Minnesota Center Chorale Director and Board to better understand how the young singers specifically benefited from this historical and intergenerational performance. The information will be especially useful when planning another concert with elementary to junior high aged children. QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTS: To determine the multigenerational ratios, attendance figures will be calculated by keeping track of the number of tickets sold to adults, seniors, and students. To determine how many First Responders are in attendance, their numbers will be indicated through ticket sales and by how many stand for recognition at the concert. The following time table for these measures will help us meet our goals. First week of October: Provide concert information to elementary, junior and senior high schools in the St Cloud area via email with PDF flyer attachment that includes an invitation to attend the concert free of charge. Bring flyers to Stearns County Emergency Medical Services administrative office for distribution among Emergency Medical Services providers. Send special invitations via email to heads of First Responder administrative offices and follow up with phone calls as needed. November 5th. Offer ╜ priced tickets to First Responders at the door. Students through grade 12 receive free tickets at door. Perform the concert in a multigenerational setting. Before the intermission, the audience is directed to fill out the survey that is in their program. They are told how the surveys will be used and where to place them when finished. Minnesota Center Chorale members and the two Directors seek casual but informative responses from general patrons/performers/parents/First Responders at a post-concert reception. Members of the Nordic Choir interact with audience members. Week of November 7th: Calculate the ticket sales by age groups. Week of November 14th: Organize the results of the audience survey into a Word document. November 22nd: Share audience input at Minnesota Center ChoraleÆs rehearsal to review the concertÆs effectiveness and to gage the audienceÆs levels of enjoyment. Next Nordic Choir rehearsal: Director seeks responses from boys about the concert to gauge their levels of enjoyment and what they may have learned from the music and about 9/11. Their Director is asked to report back to Minnesota Center Chorale with his findings.

Our goals for this concert include: Goal 1: Performance of classical music in Central Minnesota. We will perform a program that includes a standard piece of classical music repertoire, Johannes Brahms--Second Symphony and Arturo MarquezùDanzon no. 2. The program also features a musician from the orchestra, Coca Bochonko, Principal Viola, performing BartokÆs Viola Concerto. All of this will create a wonderful musical experience for the audience and the musicians. Goal 2 Give musicians the opportunity to rehearse and perform major classical repertoire on stage for our community. Goal 3 Give our audience and the musicians the opportunity to experience and evaluate guest conductor Dr. Yaniv Dinur. Dinur is one of four guest conductor candidates for the 2011-2012 Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra season. After this concert, the audience and the musicians will have the opportunity to provide feedback to the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra Search Committee. Goal 4 Provide an educational experience for the audience. Dr. Dinur will provide a pre-concert discussion that will enhance the audience experience. He will talk about the music, the composers and the historical context of the compositions. We anticipate 85 members of the audience will participate in this event. Goal 5 Provide a social experience for the audience and the orchestra. After the concert we will provide dessert and coffee for the audience. This provides an opportunity for the musicians, conductor, soloists and audience to discuss the event. We anticipate 250 audience members will stay after the concert to talk to each other and the performers.The Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra measures the effectiveness of all of our programs by direct response from our audiences, staff and the members of the orchestra. Audience surveys and feedback help the staff and the Board of Directors determine the effectiveness of the programs and their service to the public. Audience acceptance of performance and programming is a primary tool for evaluation. We invite and receive significant feedback, and we strive to understand the trends that develop in order to respond to the needs of our audience. Because this is a guest conductor season, we will actively seek feedback from the musicians and the audience after each concert. This essential feedback will help us select the Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra for the coming years. In the case of a concert, attendance is also a measure of reaching our goals. A full-house indicates we have done a good job from programming to promotion.

",,"The deep, cold water lakes of Aitkin, Cass, and Crow Wing counties in North Central Minnesota are considered to be some of the most desirable recreational lakes in Minnesota. These high quality lakes are biologically important systems that support fish, game and wildlife and have high ecological value to Minnesotans for recreation as well as contributing to the sustainability of Minnesota’s $11 billion/year tourism industry. With steady population growth in this region and projected increases of up to 30% by 2030, these lakes are continually threatened by increasing shoreland development. As shorelines are developed and land is cleared, habitat for fish and wildlife is reduced and in turn fish populations and other wildlife that depend on a healthy shoreland zone decline. This project, “Protecting Sensitive Shorelands in North Central Minnesota” permanently protected 260 acres and 18,915 shoreland feet (3.6 miles) of critical fish and wildlife habitat. Willing landowners donated a conservation easement on their property to limit future development and shoreland disturbance. The conservation easements are held and monitored in perpetuity by the easement holder, the Minnesota Land Trust. Not only do the protected lands have critical shoreland habitats, all the protected properties also provide important forested habitats for upland wildlife, and keeping forest lands intact will reduce erosion and runoff to the lakes to help maintain high quality water environments for fish and recreational enjoyment. Participating landowners donated over $800,000 in land value to provide fish and wildlife habitat protection to the public of Minnesota. As a financial incentive for the land donation, the associated transaction costs for closing the easement, such as surveys, title and legal work, and other professional services along with easement stewardship was covered by the Outdoor Heritage Funds appropriated to the project. As further incentive, landowners were provided an IRS-approved appraisal of the conservation easement to use for their charitable donation of conservation value. This project was accomplished through the collaborative efforts of the Leech Lake Area Watershed Foundation, a regional land conservation nonprofit who provided project administration and landowner outreach/coordination to point of securing a commitment to donate a conservation easement, and the Minnesota Land Trust, who drafted the easements, holds the easement is perpetuity, and is responsible for easement stewardship. Prior to starting the project, the most important shoreland habitats in the North Central Minnesota region, including Aitkin, Cass, and Crow Wing counties, was identified using science-based strategic planning and evaluation models. The initial criteria for parcel selection was based on the Minnesota DNR’s Sensitive Shoreland Study conducted on 19 lakes in Cass County from 2008-2010, in which they used 13 ecological parameters to determine the most important shoreland for fish and wildlife habitat protection. In Cass County alone, over 83 miles of largely undeveloped and critical shorelands were identified. Through this project, the DNR’s initial work was expanded into a rapid assessment model for other shorelands in the region. The model was then applied to other critical lakes in the region and assessed, in collaboration with the three county local governments, to further identify important shoreland for fish and wildlife habitat protection. The prospective parcels are largely undeveloped shorelines in areas of high-conservation significance as determined by these studies and field surveys. Once parcels were identified, outreach was conducted to specific landowners about the project and its benefits. Several easements were started in this Phase I project but were not completed for various reasons, including access issues, family conflicts, and estate issue among others. An important conclusion of this Phase I project was the realization that future protection work will need to focus primarily on the purchase of easements—either in full or as a partially-donated easement. Through extensive outreach and many landowner conversations, participating landowners were secured for fully-donated easements, but many landowners, though interested, could not participate in that capacity citing impending changes in IRS charitable deduction limits and changing economic conditions as reasons why they could not ultimately fully donate a conservation easement. It is the conclusion of the participating organizations that the low-hanging fruit of landowners willing to donate easements has been exhausted. While there may still be some donated easements in Phase II and beyond, most easements will need to be acquired. Phase II of this project was funded by the Minnesota Legislature in 2014 to continue the important work of fish and wildlife habitat protection on critical shorelands in North Central Minnesota with expansion to Hubbard County. Landowner outreach in Phase I will be utilized to target additional parcels for conservation easements in Phase II. Shoreland disturbance due to development is one of the greatest threats facing Minnesota’s lake resources. Permanently protecting the most critical shorelands is an essential strategy to maintain Minnesota’s fisheries and wildlife habitat; important waterfowl breading and feeding areas; and the overall health of the state’s aquatic resources upon which the public relies for recreational enjoyment and which drive the economic engine sustaining many North Central Minnesota counties. This project achieved permanent conservation of 260 acres and 18,915 shoreland feet (3.6 miles) of critical shoreland fish and wildlife habitats for approximately $18 per shoreland foot and $1300 per acre—all projects costs considered. Given that the shorelands on prime recreational lakes in this region of Minnesota can cost up to $4,000 per shoreland foot to purchase in fee, the state of Minnesota received an excellent return on its investment in protecting and conserving critical shorelands in North Central Minnesota. While the protected properties are still privately owned, the Minnesota public benefits from the habitat and water quality protection achieved. The project achieved the original goal of 3-4 miles of shoreland protected, but fell short on the acreage goal. However, the lessons learned from the project will inform efficient and targeted future aquatic habitat protection work in North Central Minnesota (Phase II and beyond). Plus the unused appropriation can be returned to North Central Minnesota for additional conservation based on lessons applied and continuing opportunities for permanent land conservation to protect some of the most vital and critical fish and wildlife habitat in Minnesota.

This poses challenges to efforts to preserve these species because seed sources for these plants are therefore also becoming fewer. Using this appropriation the Martin County Soil and Water Conservation District aims to help reverse this trend. Through partnerships with local seed growers and nurseries they will collect, propagate, and plant these declining and at-risk, locally-adapted plant species on protected habitat as part of restoration efforts in order to encourage and increase their presence on the landscape. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The project focus was to accelerate the local ecotype seed availability of declining species for use on restoration projects. This project was undertaken in large part because 90 of the 238 species documented so far in Martin County by the Minnesota County Biological Survey of 2009 are considered to be at-risk. Native seeds were collected from 118 species off 33 different sites and we monitored additional prairie remnants. This project protected remaining native populations and expanded populations to new sites, enhancing environmental conditions and improving habitat diversity for wildlife. This project continuously proved to be a great educational opportunity. Each fall, area high school students were taught native plant species and assisted in native seed collection. High school athletic groups also volunteered with native seed collection. Over 250 people have been reached through one-on-one interactions. We have also heard repeatedly from these individuals that once they learn a little about native plant species, they continue to learn more independently and share the knowledge they have gained with others. We also educated landowners and students about identifying and distinguishing between native and invasive species. We have also gained a number of new volunteers. Native seeds were planted on 22 protected sites. Sites that had been previously planted were monitored. Photographs were taken to document both the native stands and progress on the planted areas. A local conservation organization, Fox Lake Conservation League, provided land for plant propagation. From this site, we were able to propagate a variety of species, including Butterfly weed, Prairie phlox, Cream wild indigo, and others. We also monitored the populations of Tuberous Indian plantain, Sullivant's milkweed, Small white lady slipper, Showy milkweed, Prairie bush clover and Eared false foxglove. Two additional Small white lady slipper populations were discovered during this project, bringing the total to three locations in Martin County. Martin SWCD visited and inventoried numerous sites with MCIA to source verify native stands and document populations on sites that will be planted. Overall, this project greatly increased local ecotype native plant materials and increased the knowledge Minnesotans have of their environment. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Information from this project was discussed numerous times during the Martin SWCD weekly radio program. ""Recovery of At-Risk Native Prairie Species"" was written about six times in the county-wide Conservation Update.

The easements limit future land use and put conservation plans in place for future management. The Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources is using this appropriation to accelerate the RIM Wetlands Reserve Program resulting in additional permanently protected wetlands and grasslands throughout the state. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) - Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) partnership is a local-state-federal partnership delivered locally by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), and county Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs). The goal of the RIM-WRP partnership is to protect land with perpetual conservation easements and restore high quality wetlands and native grassland in order to maximize wetland functions and values and optimize wildlife habitat. For this particular project, ENTRF funds were used to secure permanent conservation easements via the RIM-WRP partnership as part of a larger effort to protect and restore the drained Crooked Lake basin in Douglas County, MN. The Crooked Lake Restoration project is a multi-partner project that aims to restore the drained shallow lake bed, which prior to its drainage in the early 1900s was home to diverse populations of aquatic invertebrates and provided thousands of acres of critical wildlife habitat. Project outcomes include reduced nutrient loading and sedimentation to nearby (impaired) Lake Osakis and improved water quality throughout the Sauk River watershed. The Crooked Lake restoration project was deemed a Federal priority in 2011 by USDA under the Mississippi River Basin Initiative (MRBI). Led by both the Douglas Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) and the Sauk River Watershed District and with the cooperation of USDA NRCS, BWSR, Ducks Unlimited, and many other local, state, and federal partners, the Crooked Lake Project evolved over the past decade. Primary goals to restore this shallow lake for wildlife and water quality purposes have been at the forefront. The proposed pool elevation (1334.0'), along with adjacent upland makes up the project boundary. Scoring criteria was developed that had the highest priority applications being those located within the pool and secondary priority was then directed at the associated adjacent land to the pool. ENTRF funds were used to protect 630.7 acres with perpetual conservation easements on which 586 acres of wetlands and 45 acres of associated upland/grassland will be restored, providing multiple ecological and wildlife benefits and assisting with local water quality goals. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Public outreach for this project was conducted at the local level by Douglas SWCD, local NRCS staff, and other program partners. SWCD staff held public meetings to raise awareness of this project and to educate landowners about the public and ecological benefits of restoring the drained lake bed. SWCD staff also met with landowners in the project area one-on-one to discuss the options/benefits of enrolling in either the RIM-WRP or WREP conservation easement options available in the project area. More information about the RIM-WRP program can be found online at http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/easements/RIM-WRP/. The ENTRF funded RIM-WRP easements (as with all RIM and RIM-WRP easements) can be viewed by the public via the BWSR webmap located at http://maps.bwsr.state.mn.us/rimonline/.",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Karli,Tyma,"Board of Water and Soil Resources","520 Lafayette Rd N","Saint Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 296-2570",karli.tyma@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement, Technical Assistance","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/reinvest-mn-wetlands-reserve-acq-restoration-program-partnership,,,,

The goal of the RIM-WRP Partnership was to achieve the greatest wetland functions and values, while optimizing wildlife habitat on every acre enrolled in the partnership. The RIM-WRP partnership combined Minnesota's RIM Reserve conservation easement program and the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). Combining RIM Reserve and WRP allowed OHF to leverage Federal Farm Bill conservation dollars to Minnesota. Utilizing both programs resulted in competitive payment rates to landowners and sharing of the costs associated with perpetual easement acquisition and restoration by both the federal and state programs. The RIM-WRP Partnership held one to two joint meetings per year to provide program oversight and guidance and to establish payment rates for upcoming sign-ups. Specifically, the RIM-WRP Partnership used the USFWS Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET), located in Fergus Falls, to develop a GIS Wildlife Habitat Potential Model that was used with the WRP and RIM Reserve programs’ environmental evaluation. In addition, the RIM-WRP Partnership developed the Minnesota Wetland Restoration Evaluation Worksheet which was used to evaluate each easement application on its potential to restore wetland functions and values along with optimum wildlife habitat benefits. RIM-WRP was offered statewide but had a priority focus in the ecological provinces of the state that have experienced significant losses of wetland and associated prairies. It was delivered by local NRCS staff, local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) staff and assisted by program staff from both NRCS and the Board of Water andSoil Resources (BWSR). Since the SWCD is responsible for the local delivery of the RIM Reserve program to private landowners on behalf of the State of Minnesota, they were ideally suited to work in concert with their local NRCS staff to efficiently and effectively deliver the RIM-WRP partnership. Once an easement is acquired NRCS is responsible for maintenance, inspection and monitoring during the life of their 30-year WRP easement. The state of Minnesota assumes sole responsibility via its RIM Reserve easement once the 30-year WRP easement has expired. BWSR partners with local SWCDs to carry-out oversight, monitoring and inspection of its conservation easements. The RIM-WRP Partnership demonstrated that the State of Minnesota can cooperatively work with a federal partner (NRCS) and through a local delivery system (SWCD, NRCS, and DU) to implement a permanent easement protection program that yielded thousands of acres of permanently protected wildlife habitat. Significant leverage obtained 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 a high percentage of the restoration costs for these easements, with RIM picking up the remaining costs. 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. We enrolled 60 permanent conservation easements totaling 5,559 acres of wetland grassland wildlife habitat complexes. These restored wetlands and native grassland complexes will provide critical habitat for migratory waterfowl and other wetland dependent wildlife species in Minnesota. Wetlands and adjacent grasslands provide habitat for waterfowl, pheasants, deer and non-game species, some that are threatened or endangered. As of 8/21/18 42 easements have been restored and 18 are in the restoration process. BWSR and the NRCS are committed to seeing all restorations through to ensure all sites provide beneficial habitat. Due to delays with easement processing, restoration was also delayed in several cases. BWSR is held to the statutory requirement that requires restoration of the easements we acquire. This restoration includes establishment of acceptable vegetation, if the current cover does not adequately meet site goals.

Field applied manure has potential to runoff to open tile intakes being a direct path to surface water. The project will implement several agricultural conservation practices including rock inlets, controlled outlets and woodchip bioreactors, to reduce the nutrients, sediment and volume of water being transported by field tile. Changing open tile inlets to rock inlets will help in reducing sediment and phosphorus from entering the tile lines. Controlled outlets will help to reduce runoff and the nitrogen entering the ditches. Woodchip bioreactors will decrease both nitrogen and phosphorus.

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

Up until now, conservation efforts in the St. Croix Basin have often been lacking focus and coordination between jurisdictions has been inadequate. Through this appropriation, the St. Croix River Association is establishing and coordinating a partnership effort between local, state, and federal government units and non-profits to develop a joint plan that will identify and prioritize areas for conservation implementation and guide efforts over time to improve overall watershed health in the St. Croix Basin. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSPortions of the St. Croix River Basin are now on the impaired waters list and rare landscapes, plant, and animal communities are threatened by development pressures. Multi-jurisdictional conservation efforts are complex and often lack focus and coordination in the St. Croix Basin. This project was a means to streamline and focus conservation efforts on areas with the most critical need within the Basin. By linking local, state and federal governmental units, citizen-led non-profits, and design & technical expertise in an effective, well-coordinated partnership, this project set water quality, habitat, and recreational priorities; identified specific management practices in priority locations; and implemented on-the-ground projects to promote land and water stewardship to enhance and protect the very special place the St. Croix River Basin is to live, recreate, and work. The St. Croix Action Team, consisting of multiple partnerships throughout the Minnesota side of the St. Croix River Basin, worked diligently throughout the life of the project to produce a strategic prioritization of resources based on water quality, habitat, and recreation. The final products include:Identification of priority subwatersheds for resource management objectives in the St. Croix Basin (MN side) based on multiple benefits through an integrative modeling application.A protocol to assist in identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) within priority subwatersheds.An expansive list of 188 BMP prescriptions for Chisago, Kanabec and Washington counties for water quality protection and habitat restoration.A cost benefit analysis of each practice to help determine the most cost effective management options for the benefit received from the practice.Six BMPs on the ground located in priority areas that demonstrate the use of an effective protocol and cost benefit analysis for resource protection and management.This project was vital to create a well-coordinated procedure that identified areas of greatest resource concern and strategic, most cost-effective measures of protecting those resources.PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION As a part of this project, Chisago, Kanabec, and Washington counties each constructed a master list of priority conservation activities to use in their work plans, build future funding strategies, and perform outreach activities to landowners for implementation. Project information has been shared with additional Basin partners, including those across the river on the Wisconsin side, through the annual St. Croix Basin Conference, Basin Team meetings, and SCRA newsletters and website.",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Deb,Ryun,"St Croix River Association","119 N Washington St","St Croix Falls",MN,54024,"(715) 483-3300",debryun@scramail.com,"Education/Outreach/Engagement, Planning","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Carlton, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Pine, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/saint-croix-basin-conservation-planning-and-protection,,,,

Up until now, conservation efforts in the St. Croix Basin have often been lacking focus and coordination between jurisdictions has been inadequate. Through this appropriation, the St. Croix River Association is establishing and coordinating a partnership effort between local, state, and federal government units and non-profits to develop a joint plan that will identify and prioritize areas for conservation implementation and guide efforts over time to improve overall watershed health in the St. Croix Basin. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSPortions of the St. Croix River Basin are now on the impaired waters list and rare landscapes, plant, and animal communities are threatened by development pressures. Multi-jurisdictional conservation efforts are complex and often lack focus and coordination in the St. Croix Basin. This project was a means to streamline and focus conservation efforts on areas with the most critical need within the Basin. By linking local, state and federal governmental units, citizen-led non-profits, and design & technical expertise in an effective, well-coordinated partnership, this project set water quality, habitat, and recreational priorities; identified specific management practices in priority locations; and implemented on-the-ground projects to promote land and water stewardship to enhance and protect the very special place the St. Croix River Basin is to live, recreate, and work. The St. Croix Action Team, consisting of multiple partnerships throughout the Minnesota side of the St. Croix River Basin, worked diligently throughout the life of the project to produce a strategic prioritization of resources based on water quality, habitat, and recreation. The final products include:Identification of priority subwatersheds for resource management objectives in the St. Croix Basin (MN side) based on multiple benefits through an integrative modeling application.A protocol to assist in identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) within priority subwatersheds.An expansive list of 188 BMP prescriptions for Chisago, Kanabec and Washington counties for water quality protection and habitat restoration.A cost benefit analysis of each practice to help determine the most cost effective management options for the benefit received from the practice.Six BMPs on the ground located in priority areas that demonstrate the use of an effective protocol and cost benefit analysis for resource protection and management.This project was vital to create a well-coordinated procedure that identified areas of greatest resource concern and strategic, most cost-effective measures of protecting those resources.PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION As a part of this project, Chisago, Kanabec, and Washington counties each constructed a master list of priority conservation activities to use in their work plans, build future funding strategies, and perform outreach activities to landowners for implementation. Project information has been shared with additional Basin partners, including those across the river on the Wisconsin side, through the annual St. Croix Basin Conference, Basin Team meetings, and SCRA newsletters and website.",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Deb,Ryun,"St Croix River Association","119 N Washington St","St Croix Falls",MN,54024,"(715) 483-3300",debryun@scramail.com,"Education/Outreach/Engagement, Planning","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Carlton, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Pine, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/saint-croix-basin-conservation-planning-and-protection,,,,

The property is ranked as having Outstanding Biodiversity Significance by the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS). This unique and important habitat was at risk of development and was listed for sale until The Trust for Public Land (TPL) obtained an option to purchase the property. Protection of the La Salle Lake property was the number one priority for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Northwest Region, and had strong support from multiple DNR divisions and interested stakeholders. La Salle Lake is one of the most pristine and deepest lakes in Minnesota. It is 221 acres in size, 213 feet deep, and lush with MCBS ranked ‘Outstanding Quality’ aquatic plant habitat. It is a quality fishery that regularly produces trophy walleye, as well as supporting healthy populations of northern pike, largemouth bass, black crappie, and bluegill sunfish. Prior to protection, however, there was no public access to the lake. The DNR and the County had unsuccessfully attempted to obtain public access to this fishery for a number of years. The property also contains over half a mile of La Salle Creek and key access to its upper stretches. The crystal clear creek originates in Itasca State Park approximately 8 miles to the southwest and meanders north along the narrow floor of a glacial tunnel valley with many seeps and springs, and eventually joins the Mississippi River on the property near a popular canoe landing. Portions of La Salle Creek are a designated trout stream because of high water quality, cold water temperatures, and ability to support coldwater fish species like trout. Little fisheries management work had been done here, however, because of limited access. This project improved public access to the creek and will allow a more intensively managed trout fishery. This land also provides excellent hunting opportunities. Eight and ten point bucks are regularly harvested on the property and ruffed grouse are abundant. The forested uplands and lowlands are characterized by a mixed deciduous-coniferous forest with many fruit and nut-bearing varieties of trees and shrubs. There is also an old-growth northern white cedar forest north of the lake. Rugged terrain sloping steeply to the basin typifies the topography surrounding the lake and the upstream portions of La Salle Creek. Perhaps most importantly, the property serves to connect large parcels of land already in public ownership (Mississippi Headwaters State Forest, Itasca State Park, and county land) guaranteeing wildlife large landscapes in which to roam. Conservation of this land threatened with development greatly helped prevent forest fragmentation and natural resource degradation. With respect to biodiversity, the property is “Outstanding.” Over 90 species of trees and shrubs and more than 140 species of herbaceous plants, including 12 species of orchids, have been surveyed and recorded growing in the area. MCBS has also identified numerous rare, threatened, endangered, and special concern species of plants and animals such as ram’s head lady slipper, hair-like sedge, northern oak fern, two species of caddisfly, and trumpeter swan. The property’s abundant and diverse landscapes also provide quality habitat for gray wolf, least weasel, fisher, river otter, bald eagle, osprey, common loon and many species of woodland warblers. The original landowner required that a substantial portion of the property be acquired in the 2010 tax year. Accordingly, the project was structured in two phases. Phase I was acquired in December 2010 consisting of the 269 acres north of Scenic Byway Highway #9. DNR SNA acquired this property with existing funding and it is open to public hunting. This proposal addressed Phase II, the remaining 721 acres of the property including all of the lake, which needed to close by December 31, 2011. Although DNR plans to manage this property as an integrated resource, some of the portions of the property are more appropriate for different uses than others. There is a small area (less than 100 acres) at the north end of the lake by the highway that has some improvements, such as cabins and an RV campground, which is most appropriately be managed by DNR Parks. (The remaining 621 acres are unimproved). Funding from the Parks and Trails Fund was provided for this park resource area. The East side of the lake contains some of the most environmentally sensitive and rare features most amenable to SNA management. Funding from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund was provided for this approximately 95 acre area. The West side of the lake has some of the best hunting land and sensitive shoreline and it is for this resource area that funding was sought from L-SOHC. This approximately 528-acre resource area will be managed as WMA/AMA/SNA, although the entire property has been designated as a state recreation area. The appraised fair market value of this highly developable lakeshore property was $10,500 per acre.

This includes landforms, fossil remains, plant and animal communities, rare and endangered species, and other unique biotic or geological features. These sites play an important role in scientific study, public education, and outdoor recreation. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is using this appropriation to conduct restoration activities on approximately 1,800 acres in existing SNAs, to acquire an additional 80 acres to be added to the SNA system, and to increase citizen and student knowledge and skills pertaining to ecological restoration and biodiversity conservation through engagement with SNAs. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The biologically significant 900-acre Badoura Jack Pine Forest SNA was acquired in part through appropriation. Twenty-two conservation easement baseline property reports at 11 SNAs are completed. The SNA Strategic Land Protection Plan has been completed which prioritizes places of ecological importance for protection as SNAs and by partners.

A list of proposed land acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. The accomplishment 10.1 plan must include an easement monitoring and enforcement plan.

The keystone feature of this initial pilot program was the launch a new state RIM easement program for wild rice lake shoreland properties intended to buffer and protect sensitive wild rice lake shorelines and limit development. Also, this initial program featured a unique partnership among local, county, state and federal agencies all working together to protect key parcels through a combination of conservation easements and fee-title land acquisitions. The Minnesota Board of Water & Soil Resources (BWSR) worked closely with northeastern Minnesota County Soil & Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) to develop and implement the new RIM conservation easement program for wild rice lakes, which secured 14 RIM easements and protected 821 acres. Due to several landowners canceling their RIM easement applications after the appropriation adjustment availability date, $98,044 of easement acquisition funding, $2,000 of easement stewardship funding, and $112 of personnel money was unspent by BWSR at the end of the project, and BWSR returned $100,156 to the OHF. However, this new RIM easement program for wild rice lakes was successfully launched and is now fully programmatic and ongoing, and has received additional OHF funding since this initial pilot phase. DU also attempted to purchase conservation easements on two parcels of land on wild rice lakes too, but those efforts did not succeed due to landowner unwillingness to continue with the DU easement process. Therefore, DU amended the grant budget to move easement grant funds to fee-title land purchase, and successfully appraised and purchased a 28-acre parcel of land on Moose Lake in St. Louis County in fee-title. This key parcel was then transferred it to the U.S. Forest Service for inclusion in the Superior National Forest and long-term management and public outdoor recreational use. DU also coordinated this pilot program and submitted all grant status reports. DU spent $143,262 but left $147,738 unspent to be returned to the OHF. Minnesota DNR successfully purchased a key 286-acre parcel in fee-title on Yaeger Lake in Wadena County for inclusion in the Yaeger state Wildlife Management Area (WMA). DNR also subawarded OHF grant funds to Cass County to purchase two parcels of 35 acres on Lake George and 40 acres on Lower Hand Lake that were for sale and were appropriate additions to county land holdings in the area and help consolidate Cass County forest management and land ownership. Together, DNR and Cass County purchased 361 acres in fee-title, spent $497,691, and turned back $2,309 to the OHF. Overall, 14 RIM easements were secured that protect 821 acres, and four key parcels of land for sale totaling 389 acres were purchased in fee-title where RIM easements were not of interest to private landowners, for a total of 1,209 acres protected including about four miles of shoreline protected through this initial pilot grant to protect wild rice lake shoreland. This 1,210-acre land protection achievement far surpasses our goal of 700 acres, and was accomplished well-under under budget. Collectively, partners spent $1,640,798 of the $1,891,000 appropriated for this initial phase of the program, and turned back $250,202 to the OHF. This new wild rice lake protection partnership program continues today, with the Minnesota BWSR working closely with SWCDs to assist private landowners and implement additional RIM easements on wild rice lakes with subsequent OHF grants and phases of this initial program. Partners also routinely discuss other land protection needs around wild rice lakes with Minnesota DNR field staff, and work together to ensure efforts are make to purchase key tracts on important wild rice lakes when they come up for sale and are appropriate for public land ownership and management.",2011-07-20,2014-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road",Alexandria,MN,56308,320-762-9916,jschneider@ducks.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Aitkin, Carlton, Cass, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, St. Louis, Wadena","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/shallow-lake-shoreland-protection-wild-rice-lakes,,,,

Performances can also be recorded for promotional and/or educational uses, and even synced with video for high-end production of concert videos.Evaluating the effectiveness of the risers would simply entail ensuring that they are installed properly and noting the lack of incidents relating to safety when performing on the risers. We have not had any incidents of singers suffering injury to date, but having the rails in place would give more peace of mind. Recording concerts, both with the Digital Recorder and without, will be compared side by side to determine if the outcome of higher fidelity recordings has been achieved. Effectiveness of use in rehearsal will be measured by asking singers who did and did not listen to rehearsal recordings.

The most important outcome is increased staff and volunteer productivity. All of these purchases, Vectorworks Spotlight and Renderworks software, Juki sewing machine, LG washing machine, and the Consew clothes iron, will enable Great River Educational Arts Theatre's artistic employees and volunteers to complete their work more efficiently with higher quality outcomes. For example, our current costume shop washing machine leaks, is in need of expensive repairs, and puts our office at risk of flooding and water damage. This requires unnecessary staff time to do basic tasks like dumping the overflow tray and constantly monitoring of the machine. The machineÆs spin cycle is also inadequate requiring a second spin cycle at the end of every load. The purchase of an LG high-efficiency washer will eliminate these unnecessary staff tasks. Another example of increased productivity can be demonstrated with the purchase of the Consew gravity feed steam iron. The reliability and quality of the steam and heat from the gravity feed iron will produce much higher results in a shorter period of time when compared to the current costume iron. A second measurable outcome achieved by these capital purchases, specifically the Vectorworks Spotlight and Renderworks 2012 software, is increased communications. The set designer, technical director, set builders, carpenters, and volunteers will have the increased capability to create two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs across multiple formats for staging and lighting. The software enables interface with multiple staff and volunteers and provides access to additional design resources and libraries. These resulting images can then be imported and exported in multiple formats, thereby enhancing communications. A third measurable outcome of these capital purchases will be an increase in staff and volunteer training. The Vectorworks software, the industrial sewing machine, and the industrial gravity feed clothes iron are all newer technologies the staff and volunteers will utilize to achieve greater results. As a community theatre our success is based on our staff and volunteer's skill attainment.Great River Educational Arts Theatre's 2011-12 season has been a year of information gathering, self-reflection, and listening to the needs of the community. We have surveyed all of our patrons asking for feedback on their mainstage performance experience, inquiring what they would like to see on the stage next season, and soliciting any other comments to ensurethe TheatreÆs excellence. All of this work is in preparation for our 15th anniversary season, which we will be celebrating in 2012-13. Next season we will be growing our participation opportunities for actors, volunteers, and patron. This engagement directly reflects our mission statement: Great River Educational Arts Theatre creates meaningful experiences for artists and audiences of all ages."" As we have been evaluating our product this season, next season we will be assessing our process. All of our staff and volunteers will be asked to complete surveys about their participation, their involvement, and their artistic and technical growth. This analysis, conducted from September 2012 û July 2013, will help us measure the achievement of our intended outcomes: increased productivity, increased communications, and increased technical training.""","GREAT Theatre has several measurable outcomes that were achieved with these capital purchases.

Working closely with county staff and local elected officials, technical assistance will be provided on the steps needed to upgrade sewage treatment systems. These steps include identifying sewage treatment system options and funding, forming sewer districts, preparing ordinances, and developing operation and management plans. With the assistance provided by this project, eight communities will construct new community sewage treatment systems, which will eliminate 330,950 gallons of untreated sewage per day from entering the Lower Mississippi River and Cedar River Basins (120 million gallons per year).

A number of Minnesota's migratory bird species spend parts of their lives in the areas impacted by the spill and impacts on their populations in the state could become evident over time. Impacts could result from immediate losses of birds that were present at the time of the spill or from cumulative negative effects resulting from contamination of the food chain by petroleum chemicals and the dispersants used on the oil. The two Minnesota species that are potentially most vulnerable are the common loon and the American white pelican - some of their young would have been present in the Gulf at the time of the spill and their behavior and feeding patterns put them at greater risk of exposure to chemicals from the spill persisting in the environment. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is using this appropriation to determine whether or not common loon or American white pelican populations in Minnesota have been impacted by the Gulf oil spill. Besides population declines in the two species, other impacts that could occur as a result of chemical contamination in the food chain include changes in behavior, migratory abilities, reproductive success, or longevity. If a link is documented Minnesota may be eligible for remediation funds from the Federal Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process currently underway, and those funds could be used to help restore the populations of these two species. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS - PART A: Minnesota Common Loons and American White Pelicans Concerns about impacts of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill on Minnesota loons and white pelicans led to the need for an assessment of the extent to which pelicans and loons were exposed to impacts by PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) petroleum contaminants, which are carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic, and DOSS (dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate) contaminants that cause respiratory, nervous system, liver, kidney, and blood disorders, cancer, and hormone disruption. A statewide pelican count in 2012 showed an increase of 16-19% since 2010 to a level of 22,000 nesting pairs. Pelican egg and bill knob analysis revealed that 58 of 99 pelican eggs had PAH. For bill knobs, 29 of 37 had PAH. DOSS was found in 27 of 48 eggs in 2011 but no DOSS was found in 2012. Fourteen of 37 bill knobs had DOSS. In Phase 2 of this project, pelican eggs will continue to be tested, and a statewide pelican survey in 2015 will include population trend analysis and determination of the ratio of young birds to adults as an indicator of reproductive success. Loon research included satellite telemetry on 13 loons and geolocator research on 42 loons. This work revealed migration phenology and routes, wintering sites, diving behavior, and on the extent to which PAH and DOSS have been accumulated by loons. Loon eggs (6 of 27), fat (5 of 29), blood (20 of 52), and feathers (5 of 35) had PAH present. PAH and DOSS contaminants picked up in the Gulf of Mexico could cause long-term sublethal effects. Phase 2 of this project will involve assessment of egg hatchability and chick survival. This information will be used to develop a federal NRDAR court case to recover damages to Minnesota loons from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. LCCMR-funded research (phase 2 and 3) will continue through 2017. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION - PART A: Minnesota Common Loons and American White Pelicans In summer of 2012 Ron Schara's photography team covered the capture and banding with geolocators the loons on Lake George in Anoka County. That story was featured on Minnesota Bound on September 1 and 7, 2013 on KARE-TV. An article was published in the 2013 January-February issue of the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine. Editor Kathleen Weflen devoted two pages of introduction to this study and reflecting concerns for protecting Minnesota's loons and water quality. The 12-page article ""Flying with the Loons"" by Adele Porter covered the work by Kevin Kenow and his staff from the US Geological Survey as they have studied Minnesota's loons over the past two years, and cited credits to the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for financial support of this work. Outdoor reporter Dennis Anderson accompanied the loon capture crew on July 16 and wrote an article in the Star Tribune on July 21, 2013, about this loon research project. We have received recent requests from the media for updates on this study, but we have been deferring response until we have a more comprehensive analysis of the project results. We are also reluctant to release too much information at this point because BP has hired a person from Maine to find out what we are doing in regard to the loon study. Subsequently, their lawyers may try to use that information to minimize concerns or effects on Minnesota loons and pelicans related to the future NRDAR settlement from BP to the State of Minnesota for damages to the state's loon and pelican population due to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Part B: Minnesota Breeding Bird Atlas - PROJECT OVERVIEW A state Breeding Bird Atlas is a comprehensive systematic field survey of the occurrence, distribution, diversity, and breeding status of bird species within the state. Atlases are used to set conservation priorities, develop conservation plans, and guide habitat protection and restoration efforts. Minnesota is one of only seven states in the country that has yet to complete a Breeding Bird Atlas. Audubon Minnesota will use this appropriation to complete the Minnesota Breeding Bird Atlas and create related publications, including a book and online atlas with distribution maps, breeding status, and historical species information. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS - PART B: Breeding Bird Atlass The Minnesota Breeding Bird Atlas project represents the most detailed, comprehensive assessment of the breeding distribution of Minnesota's birds ever undertaken. It is a multi-partner project which included: Audubon Minnesota, MN DNR, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Minnesota Ornithologists' Union, individuals from the University of Minnesota, and many others. Representatives from these organizations made up a Steering Committee which helped oversee and advise the project. All field data collection was completed in August 2013 with incidental reports from volunteers coming into the database through September. The project recorded 372,172 bird sightings during the 5-years from 2009 - 2013 all of which are in our database. These sightings report 250 species, 232 of which we consider confirmed breeders. Data was collected from each of the 2,339 priority blocks which represent every Township in Minnesota. Additional point count data was collected from 99.5% of the Townships in Minnesota. Following the completion of our field data collection we reviewed, and reformatted 24 external datasets representing 20,000 records which were added to the database. An extensive quality control program was applied to the data involving species experts, regional reviewers from around the state and a verification committee. The number of registered volunteers in the project totaled 1,144 and they reported driving over 100,000 miles and spending 33,000 hours of contributed effort, which is an underestimate of their contribution since our data relies on self-reporting and we know many volunteers did not report this information. Our website, mnbba.org, which allowed volunteers to report their findings, provide county and species maps and a searchable database continues to provide information to the public. Data analysis and results dissemination will occur over the next 2 - 3 years. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION - PART B: Breeding Bird Atlas Preliminary data has been available on the mnbba.org website since the first year of the project. This website provides general information on the project, its methodology, and purpose. Through it data on specific species can be queried and mapped. We will continue to use this url as we migrate data analysis and information to a new format over the next 2 years. We are developing plans to store the data in the Avian Knowledge Network. Publications using BBA data have included the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer and presentations at the Midwest Bird Conservation and Monitoring Network meetings, the Minnesota Chapter of the Wildlife Society, and the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union meetings.","The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico had widespread impacts on resident wildlife in the affected areas, many of which will not be fully understood for many years to come. In particular is the potential loss or long term impact on migratory bird populations from central and eastern North America that spend part of their life cycles in the affected areas. In addition to the immediate impacts on birds that were in the Gulf at the time of the spill, there are also long term impacts to consider, such as impacts on behavior, migratory abilities, reproductive success, or longevity from contamination of the food chain by petroleum chemicals or derivatives of the dispersants used on the oil. The two Minnesota species identified to be the most potentially vulnerable to impacts from the oil spill are the Common Loon and the American White Pelican. Long term monitoring is needed to determine if population levels of these two species in Minnesota have declined since the spill and if any declines are attributable to the spill.","FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Carrol,Henderson,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Rd, Box 25","St Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5104",carrol.henderson@state.mn.us,"Analysis/Interpretation, Inventory, Mapping, Monitoring, Research","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources","2011-3p-14, 2011-3p-9, 2011-3p-4, 2011-3p-8, 2011-3p-3, 2011-3p-13, 2011-3p-12, 2011-3p-11, 2011-3p-2, 2011-3p-1, 2011-3p-7, 2011-3p-6, 2011-3p-10, 2011-3p-5",Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/species-concern-investigations,,,,

Thousands of acres of habitat are being converted to intensive commercial, residential, and agricultural development each year. Due to the current recession, land prices have stabilized or declined and a short-term opportunity exists to purchase more value for our expenditures. Lands acquired will become part of the Outdoor Recreation System (M.S. 86A.06) as State Forests. This project includes the initial land development of each parcel acquired including boundary surveys and signage, well and septic closure, building and dump disposal, and restoration of bare ground with native vegetation. This program is supported by all traditional outdoor stakeholders. Forests This proposal will protect 415 acres of critical forestland habitat and provide access to over 1,000 acres of State Forest (SF) through fee acquisition. The Richard J. Dorer Memorial Hardwoods State Forest (RJ Dorer) in southeast Minnesota is a unique forest biome of rolling hills, goat prairie, and river bottom forest and is marking its anniversary this year. This forest provides habitat to deer, turkey, rattlesnakes, trout, many migratory birds and flora and fauna of special concern. The state land within the RJ Dorer provides significant outdoor recreational opportunities. To provide public access to all of this forest, 170 private land parcels or easements are needed. To consolidate fragmented state forest, 120 additional private land parcels containing 4700 acres would need to be acquired. This proposal continues the work of acquiring key land parcels from willing sellers. The parcels to be acquired either provide access to large areas of currently inaccessible state land or consolidate fragmented forestland, mostly in connection with streams and rivers. These acquisitions will protect the declining forest base from fragmentation due to development and provide opportunities to further enhance habitat for fish, game and other wildlife. Parcels were selected from a pool of desirable parcels identified in area land asset management plans. These pool parcels were selected from three classifications; those providing access to state land, those consolidating fragmented state land parcels, and those providing protection of a critical forest habitat. Parcels were further prioritized by the acres accessed, completion of consolidation and values protected. All known stakeholders are supportive of these acquisitions including county boards and forest user groups such as the Minnesota Deer Hunter’s Association which has contributed funding for previous acquisitions. Strategic habitat conservation is defined as an iterative process of developing and refining a conservation strategy, making efficient management decisions, and using research and monitoring to assess accomplishments and inform future iterations of the conservation strategy.

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

However, most potential users have not yet had experience using this type of data because it's a relatively new technology. Through this appropriation the University of Minnesota's Water Resources Center is developing and implementing a training program that will enable natural resource professionals throughout the state to effectively employ this data in a variety of different applications in natural resource evaluation, management, and protection. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The State of Minnesota, in 2013, completed acquisition of high resolution digital elevation data using LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). Full use of the data can greatly enhance natural resource management and protection, however, most natural resource managers did not have experience using this very dense data or its applications.The goal of the project was to enable natural resource managers with GIS skills to effectively use LiDAR data in restoring, protecting, and managing natural resources.The methods used were to develop six teaching modules focused on major application areas, deliver the modules as hands-on workshops in computer laboratories around the state, and then enhance the modules for web-based self-learning. An additional set of four webinars was delivered, recorded, and posted to the web to supplement the workshop modules. An on-line user Forum was established to provide answers to questions about using LiDAR data and its applications.The module subjects are Basics of LiDAR, Terrain Analysis, Hydrology Applications, Engineering Applications, Wetland Mapping, and Forestry Applications. The on-line materials for the modules include lectures and exercises in Powerpoint slide, text, and video formats.The module workshops were delivered in 34 sessions at eight locations across the state, with a total attendance of 558, (226 individuals in one or more modules).Post-workshop surveys enabled workshop presenters to make adjustments to the workshop materials and presentations as the workshops progressed.The webinars addressed the use of hydrology tools recently developed in Minnesota, hydrology applications in the Red River Basin, and LiDAR for non-technical managers and staff. Total webinar participation was 437.The user Forum currently has 24 topic areas and 121 posts answering questions from technicians employing LiDAR data.Post-workshop surveys indicated that participants increased field work efficiency and area covered, performed analyses not previously possible, better targeted practices and resources, and improved visualization of projects and communication with clients.

These types of systems rely on materials such as wood and grasses sourced from the surrounding area as fuel sources for local energy production. However, many questions still remain about how to effectively and sustainably implement these types of community bioenergy systems. Dovetail Partners is piloting an effort with the City of Ely and Cook County to develop the information and tools necessary for communities to assess the viability of these types of energy systems based on the resources available within their own regions. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project helps guide development of sustainable community-scale forest bioenergy programs in Northeast Minnesota and provides examples from the region to assist communities statewide considering similar projects. Locally produced, community-based renewable energy systems hold significant promise for increasing energy security, reducing carbon emissions, and contributing to local economies. The goals of this project were to develop and share information and tools that address key questions about the viability of community bioenergy systems. During the first phase, existing models and planning tools were adapted to evaluate feasibility, impacts, and management needs for community-scale and other small bioenergy applications being proposed in Ely and Cook County. During the second phase of the project, the information and tools developed in Ely and Cook County were shared with communities, land managers, policymakers, investors, and others interested in the long-term prospects and viability of locally produced bioenergy. The results of the project indicate that there are abundant potential biomass supplies that could meet the needs of the community-scaled biomass energy projects being considered. The financial analysis illustrates that a number of the projects being considered have reasonable potential payback periods and other positive indications of financial feasibility.

The Whitewater's pools are home to brown, brook and rainbow trout, making the river one of the state's most popular trout fishing areas. Yet, water quality is of concern. Abnormal rainfall events in Southeastern Minnesota have increased stormwater runoff which equates to increased flows, erosion and sedimentation into the Whitewater and other local streams like the Zumbro River. Sediment has been the leading factor affecting the water quality of streams in Olmsted County.

In 2012 the agencies assigned a coordinator for the Panel who is responsible for identifying the sample of projects to be evaluated by the Panel. As directed in Statute the Panel is comprised of at least five technical experts, including one technical representative from BWSR, one technical representative from DNR, one technical representative from the University of Minnesota or the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, and two additional representatives with expertise related to the projects being evaluated.

The coordinator summarized the findings of the panel and providing the Fiscal Year 2012 restoration evaluation report to the chairs of the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council (L-SOHC) and respective Minnesota House and Senate policy and finance committees with jurisdiction over natural resources and Outdoor Heritage Fund spending. The report determined whether restorations were meeting planned goals, identified problems with implementation of restorations and provided recommendations on improving restorations.

The restoration evaluation program intends to increase accountability and transparency in the use of Legacy Funds by formalizing and elevating the process of assessing project performance and reporting findings to stakeholders. Site assessment teams will use project appropriate assessment measures to ensure established science based best practices are being applied on the ground in selected Legacy Fund restoration projects. This level of assessment goes beyond standard reporting requirements and exceeds operational capacity of most programs. This program also increases the communication of specific project outcomes and lessons learned from restoration implementation.

However the groundwater springs feeding the 173 designated trout streams in southeastern Minnesota are under increasing pressure from current and expected changes in land use and increased groundwater withdrawals for domestic, agricultural, and industrial use. This joint effort by the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is working to identify and map the springs and the areas that feed them in order to understand how these springsheds might be affected by development and increased water use and determine what can be done to protect and restore their water quality. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Trout streams depend on a steady supply of clean, cold water which comes from groundwater springs. These trout springs are under increasing pressure from changing land use, climate change, and groundwater withdrawals for domestic use, mining, agriculture, and energy production. Delineation of the recharge areas or springsheds of trout springs using dye tracing is a necessary first step in the conservation and protection of the trout stream coldwater supplies. This project focused on delineating groundwater springsheds both in the Galena Group limestone karst areas of Fillmore and Olmsted counties, where this work has been done for over 30 years, and in the Cambrian St. Lawrence Formation and Tunnel City Group bedrock across southeast Minnesota. Prior to this project, no springsheds had been delineated in the St. Lawrence or Tunnel City bedrock units. We demonstrated that springs discharging from these units receive surface water recharge from sinking streams and that this recharge moves hundreds of feet per day through the bedrock. This has rewritten our understanding of the hydrology of southeast Minnesota and has demonstrated that these springs, which we formerly believed to be well-protected from land surface activities, are much more vulnerable than we previously realized. Overall, during this project we mapped 41 groundwater springsheds (delineated by dye tracing) and 54 surface water springsheds (surface watersheds sending water to a point where it sinks underground into a groundwater springshed). Twelve of the groundwater springsheds and sixteen of the surface water springsheds are in the St. Lawrence Formation and Tunnel City Group. The groundwater springshed delineated areas total 50,708 acres and the surface water delineated areas total 124,447 acres. Prior to this project there was a total of 54,091 acres of both springshed types delineated. Springsheds were delineated in Dakota, Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha and Winona counties.

However, naturally occurring wild rice in the state now faces a multitude of threats, such as loss of habitat from development, competition from invasive species, impacts from mining and other industrial activity, and hydrologic changes in lakes, rivers, and streams. It is recognized that to preserve wild rice in Minnesota it is critical to maintain its genetic diversity, yet knowledge of genetic diversity in wild rice is limited. Scientists at the University of Minnesota's Department of Plant Biology are using this appropriation to study the genetic diversity of wild rice in Minnesota in order to enhance options and inform best practices for wild rice protection and restoration. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) was studied using DNA-based single sequence repeats and the tools of bioinformatics to determine the genetic diversity of wild rice among 70 populations across the state of Minnesota. This study had two objectives: 1) to document genetic diversity of wild rice populations; and 2) assess the usefulness of genetic information for the conservation of this important wild species in Minnesota. Results showed that genetic diversity of the populations in Minnesota is relatively high with a range of 0.37 to 0.73 in heterozygosity and a mean of 0.54. Hetereozygosity can range between 0.0 to 1.0 indicating that genetic diversity among wild rice populations is reasonably high. This also means that many populations are quite unique from a genetic standpoint. Two genetic phylograms are presented. These are figures that illustrate the genetic relationships among the populations using two different genetic models. Examples are given to illustrate how genetics may be used when restoring or rebuilding populations of wild rice. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION This project will be disseminated via a website report and via seminars and presentations both nationally and regionally. The data will be useful to resource managers across the state who are managing populations of wild rice. The genetics of wild rice in Minnesota has not been explored in detail, thus resource managers will now have another tool to use when making decisions about restoration of wild rice populations.

This will be accomplished by installing and maintaining drop structures and reinforcing the existing spalsh pool at the outlet pipe without destabilizing the surrounding bluffs. When applied in tandem, this project will reduce the peak flow rate to ravine areas while shielding and protecting the bluff itself from eroding. At the same time, the splash pool will dissipate water energy at the base of the water fall area allowing water to flow with less energy to the lower part of the stream. Upland conservation practices will be implemented to retain water on the land. These types of conservation practices have proven to reduce sediment, phosphorus and in some instances nitrogen.

The proposed project will investigate and quantify sources of sediment to the lower portion of the Warroad River near its confluence with Lake of the Woods. Sedimentation at the mouth of the Warroad River is a concern for several reasons including fisheries habitat, water quality and the drinking water supply for the city of Warroad. High resolution electronic data will be used to estimate the volume of sediment delivered from overland sources. Historic dredging records will be compared with the estimated watershed contribution to estimate the amount of sediment contributed by eroding lakeshore on Lake of the Woods itself. This sediment balance will help to quantify the scale of the sedimentation problem and to focus implementation activities. Results of the analysis will indicate areas with potential for excessive soil erosion where efforts to implement projects should be targeted. This outcome is particularly valuable to local resource managers for prioritizing and funding projects within the watershed and effectively managing efforts to reduce erosion/sedimentation that improve water quality overall. Results will help in addressing a problem that's been recognized in numerous studies and reports.

Studies suggested that small areas of the landscape contribute disproportionately to nonpoint source pollution. So implementation of conservation projects that focus on those areas will maximize water quality benefits and ensure efficient use of resources. Using tools like Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data and other Geographic Information System (GIS) data sets, candidate sites were identified and ranked as critical areas of soil erosion and surface runoff in the watershed. In addition, in-field assessment techniques were developed and documented to further evaluate these source locations. By the conclusion of the project a number of different methods to determine priorities of those critical areas were identified by local partners. They felt that using only one method to rank and sort the sites was not a good use of the dataset. The partners wanted to be able to sort and parse the results in a number of different ways according to both resource issues and impairments present. It was not always going to be similar for each sub-watershed. In the end the final selection of sites then became approximately 205 sites with resource attribution. This would allow a number of different ways of sorting and prioritizing. By combining the identified sites and in-field assessment techniques a set of protocols were established to determine the most appropriate BMPs needed to restore the sites to sustainable levels. A training session was provided to SWCD and County Staff's. A Digital Terrain Analysis Manual was published and is currently posted on the Zumbro Watershed Partnership website. This will be a guide to local partners in the watershed that along with the provided data sets, allows them to create their own priority sites data. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The datasets were used to identify priority sub watersheds within the Zumbro. These sub watersheds were prioritized in the recently revised Zumbro Watershed Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the MN Board of Water and Soil Resources issued a request for information for the Targeted Watershed Demonstration Grant. This project was instrumental in identifying and defining the priority sub-watersheds that contained the most critical sites. In addition the in-field assessment and the BMP matrix allowed us to identify the most appropriate BMPs necessary to treat the sites. With BMPs identified, typical cost helped estimate project cost and the amount and type of public assistance needed at $1.6 M. The type and quality of the data from this project application also helped secure additional commitments from USDA NRCS for $750,000 in EQIP funding. The data continues to be used by county water planners in the development and revisions of County Water Plans. The GIS data sets are currently posted on an ftp site maintained by Barr Engineering. All county water planners and SWCD staff have access to the site. Because of the sensitive nature of the data access is limited to those staff persons at this time. Project information was disseminated to project partners on an ongoing basis (usually quarterly to semi-annually) through meetings and presentations arranged by Zumbro Watershed Partnership in Rochester. In addition, individual meetings were held with the SWCD and NRCS staff in the Olmsted, Dodge, Wabasha and Goodhue County offices to convey our findings and solicit feedback on the development of guidance for assessing BMP suitability for various sites, based on agroecoregion location and site characteristics. A similar meeting was held with Rochester staff to discuss BMP priorities for urban and suburban applications. The digital terrain analysis manual content was disseminated to the project partners through a training session in Rochester. The Zumbro Watershed Partnership project partners were trained in the protocols provided in the digital terrain analysis manual so they can apply this process in the future for identifying critical source areas at alternatives scales, and/or as new information becomes available they can monitor changing conditions to update the list of priority projects as necessary.
