All acquisitions will occur in the prairie, prairie/forest transition, or metro regions. ","The loss of grassland and wetland habitats in Minnesota is well documented. In the agricultural region of Minnesota over 90% of our wetlands and 99% our prairie grasslands have been converted for other uses. This proposal aims to slow or reverse this downward trend by strategically acquiring and restoring previously converted wetland and grassland habitats to be permanently protected as WPAs. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and their partners have been employing this strategy for over 50-years through the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program (SWAP). This eleventh phase of the WPA acceleration program builds upon past work of the USFWS SWAP as well as the previous ten phases of this effort by strategically acquiring 1,003 acres (241 acres of wetlands and 762 acres of grassland habitat) for the benefit of upland species and recreational opportunities of the public. Strategic properties will be identified by using landscape level planning tools [e.g. Thunderstorm Maps produced by the USFWS’s Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET)]. Based on HAPET evaluation strategies, modeling predictions can be made on the numbers of nesting waterfowl, grassland nesting birds, and other wildlife the acres impacted by this grant application can produce. In addition to wildlife benefits, the lands acquired and restored through this grant will provide improved water quality, groundwater recharge, and flood abatement benefits. These strategies are well tested and are supported by the greater conservation community in Minnesota. Hunting and fishing stakeholders are very interested in increasing opportunities for hunting and fishing public access and have used WPA’s extensively in the past. To address concerns related to the erosion of county tax revenues due to public land, the USFWS and PF will notify counties prior to the acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the USFWS will make a one-time payment (called a Trust Fund payment) to the county where the property is located. In addition, the USFWS will make annual refuge revenue sharing payments for all fee lands within the respective counties.Additional funding for restoration and development of the properties will be solicited from partners. If this funding is available, budgeted Outdoor Heritage restoration funds under this proposal would be able to accomplish additional fee title w/o PILT acquisition funds. All wetlands, on the properties acquired, will be restored by either surface ditch “plugs"", breaking sub-surface tile lines, or other best practices for wetland restoration. Grasslands will be restored by planting site-appropriate native grasses and forbs following known best practices for the establishment. Grassland restoration on individual tracts may take three to five years, involving one to two years of post-acquisition farming to prepare the site for seeding (e.g. weed management issues, chemical carryover, other site-specific issues).

The proposal is comprised of two components - (1) projects to engineer, construct and/or implement shallow lake and wetland enhancement activities, including cattail control, and (2) an expansion of the Wetland Management Program to increase its capacity to identify and implement needed management work for small wetlands in the prairie region. Small wetland work will be focused on wetland complexes most valuable to waterfowl.","Minnesota wetlands, besides being invaluable for waterfowl, also provide other desirable functions and values - habitat for a wide range of species, groundwater recharge, water purification, flood water storage, shoreline protection, and economic benefits. An estimated 90% of Minnesota's prairie wetlands have been lost, more than 50% of our statewide wetland resource. In remaining wetlands, benefits are too often compromised by degraded habitat quality. This proposal will accomplish needed wetland habitat work throughout Minnesota, with a focus on the prairie region. SHALLOW LAKES / WETLAND PROJECTS - This proposal seeks to engineer and construct wetland infrastructure such as dikes and water control structures, and to implement management techniques. The shallow lake and wetland projects identified in this proposal for enhancement were proposed and reviewed by DNR Area and Regional supervisors. Projects, as shown in the accompanying parcel list, include engineering feasibility and design work and replacement/renovation of wetland infrastructure to bring about improved and expanded habitat enhancement. The parcel list includes 8 projects that will improve or replace infrastructure or provide direct management of shallow lake and wetlands. These 8 projects will provide 1,500 acres of wetland enhancement. Two projects are receiving funding for needed survey and engineering services to prepare for future implementation of wetland enhancement projects. Finally, requested funding will continue the DNR's efforts to spray dense stands of monotypic hybrid cattails for an additional field season. An estimated 2,300 acres of cattail-dominated habitat will be treated on parcels that will be identified by wildlife staff each season and listed in the Final Report. WETLAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (WMP) - Numerous plans pertaining to wetlands and shallow lakes call for effective management of existing habitat to provide maximum benefits for wildlife. The 2020 Minnesota Duck Action Plan notes the need to expand the WMP in Minnesota. The WMP assesses wetlands and brings about management required to produce quality wetland wildlife habitat. The WMP addresses management needed for smaller wetlands that are often overlooked on the landscape. The requested funding will allow the program to expand in the prairie region of Minnesota. Management work to be accomplished includes water levels manipulation, removal of undesirable fish and controlling invasive plants and fish, and will be focused in areas of wetland complexes. It is conservatively estimated that each Natural Resource Specialist working in the WMP impacts 225 acres of small wetlands annually. To improve efficiency and meet mutual goals, projects may be done in cooperation with Duck Unlimited.

These are some of the most productive landscapes in the state for breeding waterfowl and other prairie wildlife including pheasants, and these private working land conservation easements complement other federal, state, and private conservation easement options available to landowners. USFWS habitat conservation easements not only include protection measures that prevent wetland/prairie conversion and land development/subdivision, but importantly, they also secure rights to restore wetlands and prairie grassland where feasible too - which is the primary purpose of this OHF easement program. DU/PF will help USFWS conduct landowner outreach, prioritize offers of federally-approved easement payments, and conduct landowner negotiations, boundary survey, environmental review, title review, and other legal tasks, and purchase the easement for USFWS.

These easements provide landowners with the option of either delayed haying (after July 15) or both grazing and delayed haying, which results in adequate habitat for wetland and upland nesting birds and a working land use option that appeals to some private landowners. Importantly, these working land easements also help manage plant succession on their land, which is critical to preventing the encroachment of volunteer trees and invasive plant species.

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

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

These are some of the most productive landscapes in the state for breeding waterfowl and other prairie wildlife including pheasants, and these private working land conservation easements complement other federal, state, and private conservation easement options available to landowners. USFWS habitat conservation easements not only include protection measures that prevent wetland/prairie conversion and land development/subdivision, but importantly, they also secure rights to restore wetlands and prairie grassland where feasible too - which is the primary purpose of this OHF easement program. DU/PF will help USFWS conduct landowner outreach, prioritize offers of federally-approved easement payments, and conduct landowner negotiations, boundary survey, environmental review, title review, and other legal tasks, and purchase the easement for USFWS.

These easements provide landowners with the option of either delayed haying (after July 15) or both grazing and delayed haying, which results in adequate habitat for wetland and upland nesting birds and a working land use option that appeals to some private landowners. Importantly, these working land easements also help manage plant succession on their land, which is critical to preventing the encroachment of volunteer trees and invasive plant species.

In the agricultural region of Minnesota, over 90% of our wetlands and 99% of our prairie grasslands have been converted for other uses. This proposal aims to slow or reverse this downward trend by strategically acquiring and restoring previously converted wetland and grassland habitats to be permanently protected as WPAs. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and its partners have been employing this strategy for over 50 years through the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program (SWAP). This twelfth phase of the WPA acceleration program builds upon past work of the USFWS SWAP as well as the previous eleven phases of this effort by strategically acquiring 611 acres (122 acres of wetlands and 489 acres of grassland habitat) for the benefit of upland species and recreational opportunities of the public. Strategic properties will be identified by using landscape-level planning tools [e.g. Thunderstorm Maps produced by the USFWS's Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET)]. Based on HAPET evaluation strategies, modeling predictions can be made on the numbers of nesting waterfowl, grassland nesting birds, and other wildlife impacted by this grant application. In addition to wildlife benefits, the lands acquired and restored through this grant will provide improved water quality, groundwater recharge, and flood abatement benefits. These strategies are well tested and are supported by the greater conservation community in Minnesota. Hunting and fishing stakeholders are very interested in increasing public access for hunting and fishing. To address concerns related to county tax revenues due to acquiring public land, the USFWS and PF will notify counties prior to the acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the USFWS will make a one-time payment (called a Trust Fund payment) to the county where the property is located. In addition, the USFWS will make annual refuge revenue sharing payments for all fee lands within the respective counties. All wetlands, on the properties acquired, will be restored by either surface ditch ?plugs,"" breaking sub-surface tile lines, or other best practices for wetland restoration. Grasslands will be restored by planting site-appropriate native grasses and forbs following known best practices for the establishment.

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

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

This partnership will assess, design, and implement shallow lake and wetland enhancement, restoration, and protection projects to address the most important wetland issues facing waterfowl and other wetland wildlife in Minnesota. Every statewide conservation plan recognizes the need for improving and protecting Minnesota's shallow lakes and wetlands for wildlife habitat. The MN DNR Duck Recovery Plan calls for the enhancement and active management of 1,800 shallow lakes while adding 64,000 wetlands to Minnesota's landscape. DU,s Living Lakes conservation initiative supports this plan with a goal of improving 300 shallow lakes in Minnesota. DNR and DU will accelerate partnership efforts to enhance, restore, and protect shallow lakes and wetlands through increased assessment and engineering plus funding for water structure construction and land control. Enhancing and properly managing shallow lakes and wetlands will involve three components: assessment and feasibility analysis (Pre-design), engineering survey, design, review, easements and permits (Design), and ultimately water structure installation (Construction). DU will also work with private landowners to permanently protect lands adjacent to shallow lakes through purchase of lands in and adjacent to large drained basins in fee-title to allow for restoration and/or through permanent conservation easements (Protection). In total, DNR and DU will conduct 200 assessments, work on developing 50 new projects including engineering designs, restore 63 acres, structurally enhance 7,172 acres, and protect 750 acres in fee-title. In the process, DNR may purchase small easements for water flowage and/or water control structure placement, and DU may purchase permanent conservation easements on shallow lake shoreline if needed and grant funding is available. ","An estimated 90% of Minnesota's prairie wetlands have been lost, and those that remain are often larger basins that were more difficult to drain. Throughout the state, these shallow lakes and large wetlands provide critical habitat for wetland wildlife production and migration, especially for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent birds. High quality shallow lakes and wetlands have clear water and abundant rooted aquatic vegetation. Emergent aquatic plants such as rushes and wild rice provide protective cover from weather and predators and over-water nesting habitat, while submerged plants provide food in the form of seeds and tubers and critical habitat for aquatic invertebrates. An abundance of aquatic invertebrates such as insects, amphipods, and snails are critical for breeding ducks and for duckling growth and survival. Protein and carbohydrates from seeds and tubers are critical foods during both spring and fall migration. Seasonally flooded wetlands often fill these needs for shorebirds and dabbling ducks, particularly during spring. However, it is typically the larger, more permanent wetlands and shallow lakes that are important to diving ducks in spring and provide the most important fall habitat for all waterfowl. However, the quality of shallow lakes and wetlands providing wildlife habitat has declined markedly due to landscape drainage and intensive agricultural land use, shoreline development, increased runoff carrying sediment and nutrients, and invasive plant and fish species. Invasive fish, such as bullheads, carp, and fathead minnows reduce the invertebrates and aquatic plants necessary for quality habitat. Highly altered landscape hydrology now allows these invasive fish to access and sustain populations in most of our remaining wetlands. The worst damage has occurred within the prairie and transition portions of the state where conversion of habitat to other uses has degraded the watersheds of shallow lakes and associated wetlands. Restoration of wetland and grassland complexes restores habitat and reduces excessive runoff that can improve water quality. However, in-basin management is also needed to switch turbid shallow lakes back to their preferred clear water state. While watershed improvements benefit shallow lakes and wetlands, and both regulatory and voluntary programs to minimize and mitigate watershed degradation are ongoing by many conservation agencies, watershed work alone will not often switch turbid lakes to clear lakes and improve waterfowl habitat in them. It is only through active water level management that simulates periodic droughts and stimulates aquatic plant growth combined with the removal of invasive fish that the quality of this important aquatic habitat can be rejuvenated and sustained into the future. Similar to the effects of periodic fires in upland prairie systems, temporary droughts in wetlands are essential to maintaining wetland productivity and to rejuvenating turbid shallow lakes. Water level variation drives wetland ecology, and has long been a well-established, science-based wetland management technique employed throughout the world. This programmatic partnership between the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Ducks Unlimited (DU) will accelerate enhancement, restoration, and protection of shallow lakes and wetlands important to waterfowl. This partnership will assess, design, and implement shallow lake and wetland enhancement, restoration, and protection projects to address the most important wetland issues facing waterfowl and other wetland wildlife in Minnesota. Central to our work will be the feasibility analysis, design, and installation of water control structures, pumps, and fish barriers that will provide state and federal conservation agency land managers with the ability to conduct temporary water level draw-downs that simulate the natural hydrologic regimes that drive wetland ecology. All projects will be constructed on public land or land under permanent easement by state or federal agencies, and all projects will be managed by Minnesota DNR field staff or by field staff of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Other agencies and tribal interests will be consulted and queried for input as projects are assessed, designed, and implemented. This proposal is based on the best available shallow lake and wetland management science coupled with over four decades of experience by Minnesota DNR and over two decades of wetland engineering expertise by DU. Specifically, at least 200 shallow lakes and wetlands will be assessed for their current condition and feasibility for needed improvement as determined by DNR and DU field staff. Meanwhile DNR and DU biologists and engineers will work on 50 shallow lake and wetland design projects to review and finalize engineering plans, obtain legal land rights and/or legal wildlife lake designation, obtain landowner and public support, and secure all necessary permits and approvals for future project implementation. DNR will develop shallow lake management plans with DU assistance and input. Landowner outreach will be conducted and public meetings held when needed to review, revise, and fully develop wetland structure projects for implementation, including wildlife lake designation public informational meetings and formal hearings. Finally, several wetland restoration projects will be implemented to restore 63 wetland acres, and 16 structural shallow lake and wetland enhancement projects will be constructed to allow managers to enhance over 7,000 wetland acres. To make future restoration of drained wetlands and shallow lakes legally feasible, DU will attempt to purchase 750 acres of land in fee-title in and adjacent to a drained shallow lake basin from willing private landowners (grant funds will not be used to purchase land from watershed districts or public agencies as per direction received from the Council). The land will eventually be transferred to the Minnesota DNR or U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Initial contacts with landowners and local governmental representatives have been favorable to preliminary land proposals, and county board approval will be sought before any land acquired is transferred to Minnesota DNR or the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. DNR may purchase easements for water flowage and/or structure placement rights, if needed. Also, to protect managed shallow lakes subject to development, DU may also work with private landowners to explore opportunities for conservation easements, and may purchase or obtain donated permanent conservation easements that will be held and monitored in perpetuity by DU. Finally, DU will use grant funds over three years to coordinate and administer this grant. Budget reallocations up to 10% do not require an amendment to the Accomplishment Plan. ","This grant was a programmatic partnership between the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Ducks Unlimited (DU) to accelerate enhancement, restoration, and protection of shallow lakes and wetlands important to waterfowl.  In partnership, DU and DNR assessed shallow lake conditions through the Minnesota DNR Section of Wildlife Shallow Lakes Program, and designed and implemented shallow lake and wetland enhancement and restoration projects using water level control structures and other means.  DU also implemented land protection projects via fee-title land acquisitions to improve and buffer wetland habitats used by waterfowl and other wetland-dependent wildlife in Minnesota. Overall, DU and DNR completed 26 project affecting 7,603 acres.  These included three wetland restoration projects restoring 97 acres, 18 shallow lake enhancement projects enhancing 7,154 wetland acres, and five fee-title land acquisition projects protecting 352 acres.  DNR also completed 317 shallow lake assessment surveys to document current ecological conditions and help justify future shallow lake enhancement projects, while DU staff worked on 50 new shallow lake engineering enhancement projects to design water control structures for state DNR Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), public waters, and wetlands on federal lands managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.  Financially, DU and DNR spent $6,439,871 of the $6,505,000 appropriated for this project.  DU spent the entire $5,042,000 portion appropriated to Ducks Unlimited while providing $1,205,381 in non-state financial leverage for a total expense of $6,247,381.  This non-state leverage provided by DU far surpassed the minimal leverage pledged, and was comprised of a combination of private funds donated to DU from individuals, foundations, and corporations, and federal grants such as the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA).  Meanwhile, Minnesota DNR spent $$1,397,871 of the $1,463,000 appropriated to DNR, leaving $65,129 unspent to be returned to the Outdoor Heritage Fund.  Although we fell short of our 750-acre land protection via fee-title acquisition goal, we exceeded all other original accomplishment plan goals of 200 shallow lake assessments, engineering work on 50 new enhancement projects, restoration of 63 wetland acres, and enhancement of 7,132 shallow lake wetland acres. The shortfall in total acres acquired was due to sharply rising cropland prices during this grant period, and uncooperative landowners in the drained Moonshine Lake basin in Big Stone County that made acquisition of those lands not feasible as previously planned.  The primary landowner there refused to sell his land for appraised fair market value, and DU did not anticipate the spike in agricultural land prices that made acquiring an equal number of acres elsewhere impossible.  Nonetheless, DU did acquire five smaller parcels totaling 352 acres in the Prairie Section, including 100 acres of wetlands and 252 acres of uplands.  These parcels have been transferred to the Minnesota DNR for inclusion into the state WMA system for long-term habitat management and public outdoor recreational use.Importantly, DU and DNR wetland projects were highly successful and surpassed our acreage goals.  DU and DNR completed three wetland restoration projects, one by DNR on Pelican Lake WMA in Wright County that restored hydrology to 25 wetland acres in the Metro Section, and two others by DU that involved restoring wetland hydrology to 45 acres on Fenmont WMA in Nobles County and 27 acres o Four Corners WMA in Martin County in the Prairie Section.  Moreover, DU and DNR each completed nine additional shallow lake and wetland enhancement projects that improved wetland ecological condition and management capability, for a total of 18 projects that enhanced 7,154 wetland acres in Prairie, Transition, and Metro Sections.  These were mostly structural enhancement projects where DU and DNR engineering installed water control structures to allow for temporary water level draw-downs to enhance the aquatic ecology of managed wetlands on state and federal areas (including four Waterfowl Production Areas).  Most of the acres enhanced were located on the Roseau state WMA, where DNR renovated an important dike used to control water levels in a large wetland. Elsewhere, DNR seeded wild rice into 40 acres of wetlands and shallow lakes in Wright and Stearns Counties in Metro, Transition, and Prairie Sections.All DU and DNR wetland restoration and shallow lake enhancement projects were in public waters or in basins on state DNR or federal land where DNR or the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will manage and maintain them for both wildlife habitat and public benefit.  All lands acquired by DU were transferred to the Minnesota DNR for long-term wildlife habitat management and pubic outdoor recreational use.",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road ",Alexandria,MN,56308,3207629916,jschneider@ducks.org,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Becker, Benton, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Clearwater, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Freeborn, Grant, Isanti, Kittson, Le Sueur, Lyon, Marshall, Martin, Meeker, Murray, Nobles, Polk, Pope, Rice, Roseau, Stearns, Stevens, Stevens","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-shallow-lake-and-wetland-enhancement-and-restoration-program,,,,

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

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

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

Opportunities for public hunting and trapping is very high. This area is a notable pheasant and deer hunting area of the county.  This tract, like many of the other tracts purchased in this proposal, are within identified priority areas by MN DNR, USFWS, and other partners.  Some of the factors we use to prioritize acquisitions are Grassland Bird Conservation Areas, Fish and Wildlife habitat rankings (e.g. HAPET scores, duck nesting pair density), and stateside plans (e.g. Pheasant Action Plan, Wildlife Action Plan).  In addition we use site specific factors such as rare species, native prairie, and restoration potential to decide which tracts will best benefit fish, game, and wildlife.",,"Final Report: http://www.lsohc.leg.mn/FY2013/accomp_plan/2f.pdf Working in close collaboration with partners, Pheasants Forever acquired 638 acres of strategic habitat that builds onto existing protected lands and/or develops corridors for wildlife. All lands acquired have been enrolled into the state Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Program and will be protected and managed in perpetuity by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. We have worked together with federal, state and local partners when acquiring the seven parcels which will now be celebrated as new WMAs. These new additions to existing WMAs not only provides access and recreational opportunities for all Minnesotans, but helps reduce erosion, improve water filtration, and provide quality habitat for many of Minnesota's non-game species. The offers to the landowner were based on fair market values and appraisals. The acquired parcels addressed a backlog of willing sellers that now are helping slow the loss, degradation, and fragmentation of habitat in Minnesota. Parcels were identified jointly with the MN DNR, ranked, and prioritized on habitat goals and feasibility. Pheasants Forever's methods are formed around the principle of accelerating the Wildlife Production Area program in MN by targeting only the best available habitat with willing sellers. We utilize local partner expertise to focus on building a system of interconnected wildlife complexes that create habitat mosaics. We also utilize the latest geospatial layers to help determine factors such as: habitat restoration potential, landscape scale significance, presence of rare features and native habitat, and how these acquisitions fit into other priorities for our partners such as the MN prairie Conservation Plan, the Pheasant Action Plan, or the State Wildlife Action Plan to name a few. All parcels acquired have been restored and/or enhanced to as a high quality as practicable. All agricultural row crops on these parcels have been restored to native grassland/wetland complexes. The grasslands were restored using a broadcast or drill seeded method with a diverse mix of native grasses and forb species.

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

",,"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,,,,

",,"Approximately 30 species of waterfowl are regular migrants through Minnesota. More than a dozen breed and nest in Minnesota. While each of these species has its own particular habitat needs the common bond is a dependence on wetland habitat for survival. Meeting the needs of these waterfowl requires a complex of wetland sizes and types ranging from temporary and seasonal wetlands to large permanent shallow lakes.  Habitat work accomplished with this OHF appropriation contributes to the needs of these waterfowl and other wetland-associated wildlife. Five wetland/shallow lake infrastructure projects were designed and completed (Carlos Avery WMA, Anoka County; Joe River WMA, Kittson County; Cornish Flowage, Aitkin County; Mille Lacs WMA, Mille Lacs County; and Dry Sand WMA, Cass County).  These projects improved or replaced dikes and water level control structures.  These projects enhanced 3,079 acres of wetland habitat.  In addition to these design and construct projects, another four projects were design only.  Because of the complexity of many shallow lake and wetland infrastructure projects, we sometimes begin by bringing in engineers to survey and design potential projects.  We can use this initial information to develop cost estimates, obtain permits, and determine if and when to move ahead with construction.  Because design-only projects do not entail construction, no acres are claimed for these projects, as is consistent with our past reports. These four design-only projects were at Spohn WMA, Quistorff WMA, Aurzada WMA, and Ruff-Nik WMA, all in Todd County. 6,068 acres of invasive cattails were sprayed statewide.  This work was done in both 2015 and 2018.  The work in 2015 was done using private contractors, but in 2018 we were able to do the work using a state-owned helicopter outfitted with an OHF-funded spray unit and using the OHF-funded Roving Habitat Crews as ground support personnel. The acreage of cattails sprayed includes 13.3 acres of a new invasive grass that was discovered at McCarthy Lake WMA.  We were able to effectively deal with this potential threat thanks to the equipment and personnel we now have available.  While aerial spraying of monotypic stands of cattails can't resolve the problem statewide due to the extent of their coverage, property managers are excited to have aerial spraying as a means to improve wetland habitat at select sites.   Finally, a major prescribed wetland burn was funded out of this appropriation which enhanced 10,200 acres.  This was one of the largest prescribed burns ever done in Minnesota.  The effectiveness of this burn and it's relatively low cost have property managers considering future large wetland burns.

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

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

Additionally, we seeded 30 sites totaling 1386 acres, put in infrastructure for conservation grazing of 236 acres on 3 sites, conducted 3 oak savanna enhancements totaling 42 acres, and treated 47 acres of invasive species on 2 sites.",,"Final ReportThis was a shared appropriation between the Fish & Wildlife (FAW) and the Ecological & Water Resources (EWR) Divisions within the DNR.  Both Divisions requested priority grassland projects from field staff across the state.  When this appropriation was funded, the Prairie Plan and other large-scale prairie-focused strategic plans were still in their infancy.  Parcels on the initial parcel list included in the funding request were developed primarily using priorities developed at the regional and areas levels by Area Wildlife Managers and SNA field staff. 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,,,,

The few remaining acres of native prairie once were thought of as unsuitable for crop production, however with advancements in technology and equipment, in addition to growing competition for tillable acres, this is no longer the case.  Unfortunately, grassland-to-cropland conversion is not the only impact to native prairie, significant degradation and loss is also occurring due to property development, mineral extraction and lack of prairie-oriented management. If the current trajectory of grassland and prairie loss continues it will be devastating to grassland dependent wildlife populations. Recognizing that protecting grassland and wetland habitat is one of the most critical conservation challenges facing Minnesota, over a dozen leading conservation organizations have developed a road map for moving forward – the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. This plan calls for several outcomes, one being the protection of all remaining native prairie, largely through conservation easements. One of the primary easement tools for native prairie protection in Minnesota is the DNR administered Native Prairie Bank easement. Native Prairie Bank was established by the 1987 legislature to protect private native prairie lands by authorizing the state to acquire conservation easements from willing landowners. Native Prairie Bank targets the protection of native prairie tracts, but can also include adjoining lands as buffers and additional habitat.  Originally, this appropriation aimed to protect 760 acres of native prairie through Native Prairie Bank easements. Eligible tracts were to be located within priority landscapes identified in the Minnesota Prairie Plan and prioritized based on several evaluation factors including:     1) Size and quality of habitat, focusing on diverse native prairie communities that have been identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey    2) The occurrence of rare species, or suitability habitat for rare species    3) Lands that are part of a larger habitat complex Ultimately, 10 native prairie parcels for a total of 1,342 acres (582 acres more than initial 760 acre goal) were perpetually protected through this appropriation via Native Prairie Bank Easements.  These now protected native prairies are unique natural resources that consist of thousands of different organisms, plants, animals, bacteria and soil fungi.  Their complex interactions provide the food, water and shelter required by many of Minnesota’s rare, threatened and endangered species. These prairies house a wide variety of pollinator species, some of which often cannot survive in other habitats, including prairie restorations.  ",2015-07-01,2019-10-23,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Judy,Schulte,"MN DNR","1241 E Bridge Street ","Redwood Falls",MN,56283,"(507) -637-6016",judy.schulte@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Clay, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Polk, Redwood, Wilkin, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-native-prairie-bank-protection-phase-iv,,,,

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

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

This work is called for in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan, Long Range Duck Recovery Plan, and Shallow Lakes plan. ",,"ML2016 Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancement Phase 8 entailed three components. * Engineering, Construction, and/or Management of Individual Shallow Lake/Wetland Projects - Fourteen individual projects were undertaken with funding from this appropriation. Two of these projects, Swamp Lake (Aitkin County) and Puposky Lake (Beltrami County), entailed extensive cleanout of outlet channels leading to better water level management. These projects are necessary when downstream outlets become clogged with sediment and vegetation and water levels in shallow lakes become abnormally high. Specialized (and expensive) equipment such as Swamp Devils, Cookie Cutters, or extended-reach excavators, removed accumulated sediments and other obstructions to surveyed levels. The resulting water elevations return to lower levels and habitat benefits are often dramatic. Five projects - Clear Lake (Murray County) Eckvoll WMA (Marshall County), Typhoon WMA (Cottonwood County), Sterle Pool/Sawyer WMA (Carlton County), and Buena Vista (Beltrami County) - were completed and involved engineering and construction of wetland/shallow lake infrastructure such as dikes and water control structures. In all of these projects, engineering was done in-house (i.e. DNR engineers) and private contractors were used for the construction. Finally, seven infrastructure projects were engineered only, with construction planned for the future. Doing this initial engineering allows us to determine project feasibility, identify construction obstacles, and obtain accurate cost estimates for materials and construction. While five of these engineering-only projects were accomplished with in-house engineers, the other two projects were completed with private engineering consultants, as in-house engineering is becoming more difficult to obtain. Obtaining needed engineering support is an issue we continue to look at. *Shallow Lakes Program - The Shallow Lakes Program is a high-visibility program within the DNR Section of Wildlife that uses single-focused Shallow Lakes Specialists to (1) perform standardized assessments of shallow lakes and (2) to bring about needed management or infrastructure changes where needed to enhance shallow lake habitat. Work by these Specialists guides Shallow Lakes work by both DNR Wildlife staff and NGOs. Funding from this appropriation allowed the addition of three Shallow Lake Specialists who are stationed at Detroit Lakes, Tower, and Brainerd and provided their funding for three fiscal years - Fy17-FY19. During this time the Specialists reported doing 183 shallow lake assessments covering 76,602 acres. This assessment work directly leads to shallow lake project initiation by the DNR and DU to address needed management and infrastructure issues that lead to enhanced habitat. * Roving Habitat Crews - Roving Habitat Crews are teams of DNR staff who are equipped and trained to performP a g e 3 | 12 habitat enhancement projects on public lands. Funding from this appropriation was provided to the Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew to enable it to perform wetland enhancement activities through the addition of two roving crew members and their associated costs for three fiscal years (FY17-FY19). Typical wetland enhancement activities undertaken by Roving Habitat Crews include prescribed burns of wetlands, removal of invasive species and trees from wetlands, support of shallow lake drawdowns, and seeding wild rice. The Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew notably was involved in recent wetland management actions for which acres were reported in other appropriations and will not be reported in this report to avoid double-counting. Examples include the 7,000+ acre prescribed wetland burn that was done at Roseau River WMA. The Reg. 1 Roving Habitat Crew initiated, planned, and led the large effort to do this burn, but the acres were reported in the ML2015 Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancements Phase 7 Final Report, which provided the funding the helicopter that performed the aerial ignition using a helitorch. Likewise, cattail spraying done with the OHF-funded spray unit on a DNR helicopter used Reg. 1. Roving Habitat Crew members as ground support staff to load herbicide and refuel the helicopter between spray flights, a job liked to being an Indy pit crew, but with a running helicopter. Acres for this activity are reported in the OHF appropriations that fund the helicopter and chemical costs. Finally, the Reg. 1 Roving Habitat Crew stepped in when Covid-19 hiring restrictions prevented the DNR from hiring season technicians to run the OHF-purchased airboat on Rice Lake. Reg. 1 crew members volunteered to get the needed airboat training, then worked in shifts to operate the airboat during the field season. As an added bonus, innovative and mechanically adept Reg. 1 crew members decided they could improve the airboat cutting attachment. They crafted their own cutters which have proven more effective than the original equipment.

Easement acquisition focused on Minnesota Prairie Plan identified landscapes and targeted high-quality prairies that provide valuable wildlife habitat.","The loss of native prairie and associated grassland habitat is arguably the greatest conservation challenge facing western and southern Minnesota. This appropriation aimed to protect 380 acres of native prairie and supporting habitat by accelerating the enrollment of Native Prairie Bank easements. Ultimately, 350 acres were protected through this appropriation, just shy of the original 380-acre goal. Acceleration, such as this, is necessary to address the loss of native prairie and associated grasslands. Today, only about 1.3% of Minnesota's original 18 million acres of prairie remains. The few remaining acres of native prairie once were thought of as unsuitable for crop production, however with advancements in technology and equipment, in addition to growing competition for tillable acres, this is no longer the case. Unfortunately, grassland-to-cropland conversion is not the only impact to native prairie, significant degradation and loss is also occurring due to property development, aggregate extraction, and lack of prairie-oriented management. If the current trajectory of grassland and prairie loss continues it will be devastating to grassland dependent wildlife populations. Recognizing that protecting grassland and wetland habitat is one of the most critical conservation challenges facing Minnesota, over a dozen leading conservation organizations have developed a road map for moving forward - the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. This plan calls for several outcomes, one being the protection of all remaining native prairie, largely through conservation easements. One of the primary easement tools for native prairie protection in Minnesota is the DNR administered Native Prairie Bank easement. Native Prairie Bank was established by the 1987 legislature to protect private native prairie lands by authorizing the state to acquire conservation easements from willing landowners. Native Prairie Bank targets the protection of native prairie tracts but can also include adjoining lands as buffers and additional habitat. Eligible tracts were to be located within priority landscapes identified in the Minnesota Prairie Plan and prioritized based on several evaluation factors including: 1) Size and quality of habitat, focusing on diverse native prairie communities that have been identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey 2) The occurrence of rare species, or suitability habitat for rare species 3) Lands that are part of a larger habitat complex Ultimately, 1 parcel for a total of 350 acres was perpetually protected through this appropriation via Native Prairie Bank Easement. This now protected native prairie is a unique natural resource that consists of thousands of different organisms, plants, animals, bacteria, and soil fungi. Their complex interactions provide the food, water and shelter required by many of Minnesota's rare, threatened, and endangered species.

SWAP identifies 139 SGCNs alone in the Prairie Parkland Province. SWAP also identifies prairie as a key habitat in 11 different subsections within the State. Prairie, as a habitat type, contains more SGCNs than any other habitat in Minnesota. Native Prairie Bank protects these unique wildlife habitats, works with the landowners of these tracts to manage and enhance them, all in a way that is permanent and enduring.","A total of 402 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 402 in Easements, 0 in Enhance.",,,986400,19300,,0.74,DNR,"State Government","The Native Prairie Bank Program perpetually protected via conservation easement 402 acres of native prairie and supporting habitat from willing landowners. Easement acquisition focused on Minnesota Prairie Plan identified landscapes and targeted high-quality prairies that provide valuable wildlife habitat. ","The loss of native prairie and associated grassland habitat is arguably the greatest conservation challenge facing western and southern Minnesota. This appropriation aimed to protect 415 acres of native prairie and supporting habitat by accelerating the enrollment of Native Prairie Bank easements. Ultimately, 402 acres was protected through this appropriation, just shy of the originally 415-acre goal. Acceleration, such as this, is necessary to address the loss of native prairie and associated grasslands. Today, only about 1.3% of Minnesota's original 18 million acres of prairie remains. The few remaining acres of native prairie once were thought of as unsuitable for crop production, however with advancements in technology and equipment, in addition to growing competition for tillable acres, this is no longer the case. Unfortunately, grassland-to-cropland conversion is not the only impact to native prairie, significant degradation and loss is also occurring due to property development, aggregate extraction, and lack of prairie-oriented management. If the current trajectory of grassland and prairie loss continues it will be devastating to grassland dependent wildlife populations. Recognizing that protecting grassland and wetland habitat is one of the most critical conservation challenges facing Minnesota, over a dozen leading conservation organizations have developed a road map for moving forward - the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. This plan calls for several outcomes, one being the protection of all remaining native prairie, largely through conservation easements. One of the primary easement tools for native prairie protection in Minnesota is the DNR administered Native Prairie Bank easement. Native Prairie Bank was established by the 1987 legislature to protect private native prairie lands by authorizing the state to acquire conservation easements from willing landowners. Native Prairie Bank targets the protection of native prairie tracts but can also include adjoining lands as buffers and additional habitat. Eligible tracts were to be located within priority landscapes identified in the Minnesota Prairie Plan and prioritized based on several evaluation factors including: 1) Size and quality of habitat, focusing on diverse native prairie communities that have been identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey 2) The occurrence of rare species, or suitability habitat for rare species 3) Lands that are part of a larger habitat complex Ultimately, 7 parcels for a total of 402 acres were perpetually protected through this appropriation via Native Prairie Bank Easements. These now protected native prairies are unique natural resources that consist of thousands of different organisms, plants, animals, bacteria, and soil fungi. Their complex interactions provide the food, water and shelter required by many of Minnesota?s rare, threatened, and endangered species. These prairies house a wide variety of pollinator species, some of which often cannot survive in other habitats, including prairie restorations.

Despite our collective investments in conservation, many of the agricultural counties in Minnesota are continuing to experience a net loss of wildlife habitat. This unfortunate reality is exacerbated by the conversion of lands expiring out of CRP. In the next five years, Minnesota's agricultural landscape is set to experience a loss of 549,185 acres due to expiration out of CRP. In 2018 alone MN will lose 201,294 acres of CRP that are set to expire. This equates to roughly a 20% loss of our grassland habitat necessary for pheasants, ducks, and the suite of grassland species that call Minnesota home. Now, more than ever, is the time to accelerate our investments in permanently protected high-quality habitat complexes that will protect, sustain, and increase Minnesota’s wildlife populations. Providing public habitat for Minnesotans to hunt, trap, fish and otherwise recreate in the outdoors are urgent needs for Minnesota's growing citizenry.

All projects will meet standards and requirements for inclusion into the WMA system and DNR Commissioner approval will be received for any project funded under this proposal. In addition to meeting the minimum WMA standards, additional criteria are used to develop the potential project list including:  Does the parcel contain habitat restoration potential that will result in an increase in wildlife populations?  Does the parcel build upon existing investments in public and private land habitat (landscape scale significance)? Does the parcel contain significant natural communities or will it protect or buffer significant natural communities?  Does the parcel have the potential and focus for habitat protection and restoration in the future?  Does the parcel provide multiple benefits (recreation, access, water control, water quality, wellhead protection, riparian protection, local community support, etc.)? Providing high-quality habitat and keeping future management concerns in mind, all acquisitions will be restored and/or enhanced to as high quality as practicable, with the belief that quality and comprehensive restorations utilizing native species result in lower management costs.

Legacy funds help us implement this program bridge barriers that keep people from connecting with all the Zoo has to offer. Access Services The Zoo is committed to ensuring that economic circumstances are not obstacles to experiencing the Minnesota Zoo. With Legacy support the Zoo recently created the position of Community Relations Coordinator, a position responsible for the statutorily-mandated free ticket program for economically disadvantaged Minnesotans, all aspects of ADA compliance, and other programs related to accessibility of the Zoo. Lifelong Learning The Minnesota Zoo is not just for children! Legacy funding supports a number of programs aimed at supporting and expanding Zoo programs for adults. This includes a recently introduced adults only program, “Adult Night Out.” These age 18+ evening events offer an after-hours experience for working and older adults who might not otherwise visit the Zoo. This program also incorporates the Our World Speaker Series designed to engage guests in conservation issues. These lectures are offered free of charge to all attendees, ensuring access for all interested guests. The Zoo is also offering a number of adult education programs that focus on special interest areas such as Zoo horticulture and wildlife photography. These programs serve a range of adult audiences including seniors, corporate groups, and young adults. Strategic Communications In an effort to help Zoo guests care more and do more for conservation, this project was designed to test and implement zoo-based conservation messaging that would encourage people to act for wildlife. The Zoo began implementing its new brand strategy “Where Amazing Lives. Every Day.” This campaign creates a consistent story throughout the Zoo. Expanded Zoomobile Geography can be a barrier to accessing high quality environmental education programs. The Zoomobile program exists to serve people who cannot visit the Minnesota Zoo by bringing the Zoo to them, regardless of where they live in Minnesota. Trained interpretive naturalists travel with animals to all corners of the state and deliver programs at schools, libraries, community centers, children’s hospitals, senior centers, and more. Zoomobile participants experience live animals up close and learn about the ecological principles that connect all living things to one another. Legacy funding makes it possible to expand the service and reach of Zoomobile by sending more staff and more animals throughout the state.

Cater ? Cedar Creek Ecological Science Reserve, University of Minnesota (600 acres) ? Sherburne NWR (500 acres) ? Isanti County Parks (1 site; 20 acres): Springvale County Park ","What is the problem or opportunity being addressed? The Anoka Sand Plain (ASP) has been home to an array of storied conservation successes over the past century; however, the future of wildlife in the region is far from assured. Major challenges to long-term conservation success exist and there is a pronounced urgency to act now: While there has been a tremendous loss of native habitat in the ASP, there are also major opportunities to benefit wildlife through expedited restoration and enhancement of existing public lands. Public land managers over the past decades have made good investments of time and resources, but all are facing serious funding shortages. None of our partners have reached their restoration and enhancement goals despite the range of efforts over many years. As the Anoka Sand Plain Habitat Partnership (ASP Habitat Partnership or Partnership), we acknowledge this habitat work has to be an ongoing effort, one that is far more integrated and collaborative than what has been done in the past. Principle problems being addressed through this proposal are: Critical Imperilment of Habitat and Associated Species - Wildlife habitats of the Anoka Sand Plain (ASP) are critically imperiled, with oak savanna being the single most imperiled ecological system in Minnesota. These habitats are identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan (CWCP) and Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan as conservation priorities. Habitat loss and degradation has had profound impacts on the wildlife of the ASP; some 97 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in the state are known or predicted to occur within the ASP. This decline in habitat has had major impacts on game species. Major Threats & Pressures Requiring Urgent Action - Invasive species, coupled with lack of prescribed fire and other basic management/restoration practices have resulted in declines in value of public lands as wildlife habitat over time. Minnesota's CWCP identifies maintenance, enhancement and protection of oak savannas as its first priority for this ecological subsection. The ASP is among the fastest growing areas in the state. Urban sprawl is placing immense pressure on remaining natural resources and threatening existing protected areas. As the Metro grows, wildlife habitat in the ASP will face elevated pressures, accentuating the importance of enhanced habitat management on existing public lands. Increased Cost of Management Actions as Habitats Decline - Inadequate funding for restoration/management activities on public lands has resulted in general declines in the condition of Minnesota's most imperiled habitats, and their value as wildlife habitat. Costs to restore these habitats rise every year that management is delayed. How will this directly relate to restoring, protecting, or enhancing habitat? Beginning in FY2011 and over 3-year duration, the Anoka Sand Plain Habitat Partnership will restore and enhance over 1700 acres of oak savanna, oak woodland and prairie habitat occurring on public lands in the project area. Activities will take place principally on State WMAs and SNAs, but also on other public lands as detailed below. Our actions will result in: ? elimination of invasive plants (trees, shrubs and forbs) over 549 acres of oak savanna and oak woodland habitats; ? seeding/planting of 635 acres of oak savanna habitat; ? seeding of 16 acres of oak woodland habitat; and ? prescribed fire over 1,135 acres of oak savanna habitat. These actions will benefit a broad suite of native species that require high-quality oak savanna, prairie, and oak woodland habitats: ? SGCN (direct impact on 35 species): bobolink, gopher snake, American badger, etc. ? Native song birds, mammals, herps and others ? Game species: white-tailed deer, pheasant, turkey, ruffed grouse, and small-game animals (squirrel, rabbits, fur-bearers, etc.) and waterfowl (upland nesting habitat). Due to funding limitations, several sites initially proposed for funding were dropped from consideration. Decisions as to which proposed sites would be funded were based on the following criteria: 1. Land Ownership ? We gave high preference to state-owned lands over federal and county lands in the following order: ? State (highest) ? University or Other Semi-State ? County ? Federal (lowest) 2. Other Mitigating Factors ? Several additional important factors were considered when refining the action list, including: ? Presence of MCBS quality ecological system(s); SGCN/T&E species ? Size of habitat block/managed area ? Presence within habitat corridors ? Adjacency (i.e., location relative to other public lands or large habitat blocks) ? Immediacy of need/action as determined by MCBS. Weight = High; These mitigating factors had the result of elevating a site like Sherburne NWR (although federal) above state-owned, isolated and lower quality sites. The impact of this large federal land-holding on maintaining large, viable populations of wildlife on adjacent state-owned lands like Uncas Dunes SNA, Rice Lake SNA and Sand Dunes State Forest strongly influenced our decision to retain funding for this project. 3. Funding the Whole Package of Proposed Activities at a Site ? The final list of sites reflects our keen desire to fully complete all proposed activities at a given site rather than working at a broader suite of sites but completing partial restorations or enhancements. Biologically this made most sense. In addition, we felt this would be far less confusing to the LSOHC when we return for a subsequent proposal. Because of this, several high-quality sites that otherwise ranked highly in factors 1 and 2 above were moved off of the active project list. Tier 1 Action Sites Listed below are each of the sites proposed for action in this accomplishment plan, along with a short summary of their ecological importance, proposed activities, and timeline. We also include a list of Tier 2 sites (those initially proposed for action but pulled due to insufficient funding). As additional funds become available, we propose to expand the list of Tier 1 sites through the inclusion of current Tier 2 sites along with a reallocation of LSOHC funds as appropriate. Uncas Dunes SNA (Sherburne County) ? Uncas Dunes SNA contains a relict dunefield and includes oak savanna, oak forest, and wetland habitats. The rare Uncas skipper gives this site its name; this is one of only two sites in the state where this species has been found. Actions: Restoration of 70 acres of oak savanna habitat through removal of invasive trees/shrubs and regenerating pine, planting of old fields and disturbed areas with native seed collected onsite (followed by post-seeding management over two years), and prescribed fire. The restoration project will be led by Great River Greening in collaboration with the DNR SNA Program and DNR Forestry. Portions of the work (harvesting of pine plantation, etc.) will be subcontracted to a private consultant specializing in that area of work. Portions of the project will be performed by volunteers as a way to connect the local community to this important land. Restoration will begin in FY 2011 and continue through 2013. Clear Lake SNA (Sherburne County) ? Clear Lake SNA has the distinction of being the first land parcel acquired under the State Wild and Scenic Rivers Program. It contains a mosaic of oak forest, floodplain forest, and old field sumac thicket, along with a small population of the very rare Hill's thistle. Actions: A first phase of oak savanna restoration on 50 acres through woody invasive species control and prescribed fire (to be followed upon by seeding and restoration management in a future proposal). The restoration project will be led by Great River Greening in collaboration with the DNR SNA Program. Portions of the work may be subcontracted to MCC or a private contractor.

Tier 2 Projects: These projects (which were part of the initial proposal) may be pursued if additional funds are procured through other sources to expand the amount available for restoration and enhancement. At present, these projects, despite their merits are not included in the project action plan. Rice Lake SNA (Sherburne County) ? Glacial meltwaters deposited their outwash sands across this large plain, providing the basis for an open, grassy landscape dotted with bur and pin oak--a classic savanna. Rice Lake Savanna SNA contains examples of oak savanna and oak woodland communities. Actions: Restoration of 80 acres of oak savanna habitat through removal of invasive trees/shrubs, planting of old fields and disturbed areas with native seed collected onsite, and prescribed fire. Mississippi River Islands SNA (Sherburne County) ? This SNA includes five islands formed of outwash and alluvium deposited by the Mississippi River, rising as high as 30 feet above river level. Flooding, erosion, and sedimentation have resulted in various stages of succession, creating a mosaic of wet floodplain forest, drier floodplain forest, and sandbar plant communities. Actions: Restoration of 5 acres of hardwood forest through invasive species removal. Sartell WMA (Benton County) ? This 368-acre WMA is featured by Little Rock Creek (which flows through the site), along with significant oak savanna, oak woodland and prairie in various stages of restoration.

Actions: Restoration of 20 acres of oak savanna through direct seeding of acorns and planting of oak trees into restored understory of tallgrass prairie. Why will this strategy work? The strength of the proposal lies with the ASP Habitat Partnership and the diverse skill sets, expertise and resources of its committed partners. Each partner has a long-term demonstrable track record of achievement in conserving the natural resources of the ASP. Collectively, this expertise is deep, and the resources and skill sets each brings to the table can be used more efficiently, effectively, and with greater impact than each acting alone Across the Partnership there exists a broad cross-section of expertise, skill sets, and missions that reach to all corners of the conservation arena: ? Deep expertise in areas of protection, restoration and enhancement ? Strong science ? both pure and applied ? Public and private partners ? Outreach to private landowners ? Sophisticated educational programs woven throughout partner curricula ? Strong volunteer programs ? Solid grant-writing and fundraising capabilities As a Partnership, we acknowledge this habitat work has to be an ongoing effort, one that is far more integrated and collaborative than what has been done in the past. We will collaborate on projects, share resources and expertise, broaden the existing funding base for this work, and outreach to public/private partners and the local community in efficient and effective ways ? all supported foundationally by a world class ecological research center. The ASP Habitat Partnership has already produced over 2000 hours of in-kind time to form as a coalition and develop these projects. This same kind of energy will be the foundation to our new broad collaborative approach to managing public sites throughout the ASP. By supporting this proposal, the LSOHC will gain far more than the basic investment of wildlife habitat improvements on public lands; it will produce major lasting commitments on the part of local conservation managers to ensure the on-going collaborative nature of this Partnership. Funding through the Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) will be used to leverage further funding and in-kind support on all sites where we work. The Partnership will increase involvement by the public through the combining and integrating of the volunteer programs led by Great River Greening, SWCDs, National Wild Turkey Federation, The Nature Conservancy, USFWS, MFRC, Isanti County Parks and others. These groups have wide recognition for volunteer development, yet to date there has not been a connecting and sharing of these programs to the degree needed. This project will embark on that next generation of collaboration. All restoration and enhancement actions will be rooted in sound science and adaptive management. Already a hallmark of its partners, the Partnership is committed to using the most effective practices and restoration/management techniques and monitoring/evaluate results for the benefit of the broader conservation community. In collaboration with the University of Minnesota's Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve, we can ensure that our proposed actions are rooted in the best science. Finally, through the ASP Habitat Partnership, this funding will spearhead the future investment for wildlife habitat on private lands through a systematic and ongoing public awareness process created and implemented by the Partnership. Describe the nature and extent of any partnerships in this project, stakeholder and public participation processes associated with the project and any anticipated support or opposition to the project. The Anoka Sand Plain Habitat Partnership aims, through a coordinated approach, to: 1) elevate and capitalize on resources available for protection, restoration, and enhancement of natural resources in the ASP, 2) share and disseminate management and restoration expertise to public and private landowners, 3) tackle emerging research issues and use findings to guide management actions across public and private lands and waters, and 4) build strong connections to local communities through education, outreach and opportunities for volunteerism. This Partnership, at present, includes the following stakeholders: Anoka County Parks Morrison SWCD Mid-Minnesota Mississippi River RC&D National Wild Turkey Federation Onanegozie RC&D Stearns SWCD The Nature Conservancy US Fish & Wildlife Service University of Minnesota Wright SWCD Audubon Minnesota Benton SWCD BWSR Chisago SWCD Friends of the Rum River Great River Greening Isanti County Parks Minnesota DNR Minnesota Forest Resources Council The concept behind the ASP Habitat Partnership - integrated public and private land management ? is a strategic direction of the Minnesota DNR (as stated in A Strategic Conservation Agenda 2009-2013). The ability of the DNR to administer state forests, parks, wildlife management areas, aquatic management areas, and scientific and natural areas is strongly influenced by the management of surrounding lands and waters. Through engagement in partnerships like the ASP Habitat Partnership, the DNR is pursuing integrated management for extensive interspersed public and private lands in order to build its capacity to work across ownership boundaries. Backed by a slate of seasoned resource professionals (wildlife managers, ecologists, restoration experts, scientists) within an array of established conservation agencies and organizations, the Partnership is poised to begin making immediate impacts across 3904 acres of habitat.

Native habitats have become rare and continue to be lost. Oak savanna and prairie - the characteristic habitat of the Anoka Sandplain - now persist over <1% of their historic range. Due to its proximity to the Twin Cities, the ASP is realizing immense development pressure on what native habitat remains. 2. Degradation of habitats on public lands and waters threatens associated wildlife populations. Reduction in habitat quality has had profound impacts on wildlife in the ASP. Minnesota’s CWCP identifies maintenance, enhancement and protection of oak savannas as its first priority in addressing the 97 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) occurring in this ecological subsection. 3. Government agencies often lack sufficient resources/capacity to manage important lands. Inadequate funding/capacity for restoration activities on public lands has resulted in declines in the condition of Minnesota’s most important wildlife habitats. Scope of Work The following outcomes were realized: 1. Expansion of ongoing restoration/enhancement to 16 new project areas; 2.

The CAIR project will invite local residents to engage with the arts on a personal level through radically inclusive programming that places the community's needs and active civic participation at the forefront of high-quality artistic collaboration, creation, and exhibition. Residents of Granite Falls who don't necessarily self-identify as artists or art-lovers -- including folks of all ages, women, people of color, our new American community members and our Indigenous Dakota neighbors, and those struggling financially -- will be affected by the deep and intentional inclusivity of the CAIR program and its artistic projects. 2: ""Regional residents experience a change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to public art, arts festivals or arts events."" Residents will recognize that the arts have the potential to drive community engagement, civic participation, and economic growth, leading to higher quality of life for the entire community. Every resident of Granite Falls has the potential to be affected by this change, from the current decision-makers to the deeply underserved and underrepresented. 3: ""The capacity of those providing arts experiences is increased or strengthened by changing, expanding, or enriching the ways in which they connect to their communities through the arts."" Artists selected as CAIRs will explore the power of collaborative work that's driven by a community's articulated needs. DoPT will continue to nourish the positive feedback loop of hearing a community's voices with equity, supporting practicing artists, and developing creative solutions to complex, long-standing challenges. The immediate effect will be felt by DoPT artists and collaborators, the selected CAIRs, Granite Falls City Staff, and local residents, students, businesses and community groups. However, artists and arts organizations in rural settings across the country have the potential to be affected as our replicable model and CAIR Resource Guide is shared widely. Once the CAIR and other programs are underway, we plan to collect and assess data about their effectiveness under the guidance of an Evaluator, Rachel Engh with Metris Arts, a consulting organization whose mission is to ?improve and measure cultural vitality? and who has extensive experience working in the field of creative placemaking. To establish a baseline for this evaluation, we plan to work with Granite Falls officials to distribute a survey to all town residents in early 2020 to assess their current feelings about their community, including sentiments about the town's overall potential, sense of promise, economic and social viability, and long-term livability, as well as the connectedness residents feel to their neighbors and to city processes. As the CAIR program matures over the next five years, we will ask the same questions periodically to identify any collective shifts in perception that may have been spurred by our work. With our first City Artist in Residence on site by fall 2020, we will have collected our baseline data as well as participant numbers, geographic reach, and representative demographics by mid-2021. Our organization is also committed to documentation and evaluation - including surveys and participatory evaluation strategies at all of our events. We will continue this practice with our CAIR program, especially as it relates to sharing out our findings with the broader region and field through our CAIR Resource Guide. Additionally, we plan to distribute the CAIR Resource Guide to other rural areas across the country in spring 2021; data about adoption / adaptation, implementation, and effects of this resource in other communities will be collected in the years to come, to establish the applicability and effectiveness of our community-designed CAIR process in other contexts.","CAIR contributed to greater connections between people from different political, cultural, geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The CAIR program helped community members see arts and culture as an avenue for addressing community challenges, resulting in activities like enhancing public safety through the Creative Crosswalk project and using sidewalk art to communicate voting locations. CAIR brought in guest artists and lifted up community organizations and artists as local treasures. Granite Falls is becoming a place known for its vibrant community arts that engages younger families, businesses, and all community members who wish to be involved.

We hope to do this by removing language barriers by translating promotional into Spanish and Somali; working to overcome our own prejudices and misunderstandings by inviting input from underserved communities and establishing a visible presence their communities, thereby establishing trust and credibility; and providing a vital lifeline to human interaction for those whose special needs make other means of communication difficult -- positive interactions will build feelings of inclusion. 2: ""Regional residents experience a change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to public art, arts festivals or arts events."" Through featuring a diverse drum circle led by Chilean native, John Maldonado and featuring Afro / Latin music, people of all different backgrounds are able to build rhythms off one another and total strangers become connected by the beat. Two groups will highlight Latin inspired music in the hopes of increasing appreciation of music from diverse cultures. We will work with Willmar Arts Council to identify and to reach out to Somali and Hispanic local area artists to feature at our concerts in efforts to foster appreciation for arts of diverse cultures. 5: ""Regional artists connect to new audiences and/or build relationships that provide artistic growth."" We have many talented local artists who are not well known to the community at large, so we will promote different local artists at each of six concerts, giving exposure to their original art and a platform to sell their work. We will also work to continually grow our attendance. As we grow our attendees year over year; we find we are reaching into many nearby towns, such as Paynesville, Olivia, Litchfield, and Redwood Falls. 1: We will meet with representatives from underserved communities, whose increased willingness to work with us to provide input is one measure of regional residents experiencing increased access to the arts. We will follow up with a focus group to determine the effectiveness of our outreach. Our ability to get promotions printed in Somali and English and distributed to minority businesses is another. Most importantly, increasing the number of underserved people at our concerts will be another. We will take a visual count of underserved attendees at our concerts. 2: We will provide the opportunity for local citizens to hear and appreciate a variety of musical genres including culturally diverse music. The drum circle will give people of all different backgrounds are able to build rhythms off one another and total strangers become connected by the beat. If attendees participate in the circle; we will know we are making progress. We will conduct informal interviews about the quality and skill level of the musicians at each concert. We will jot down comments we hear and use that information to judge whether a group should be invited back. We will also use surveys to determine to what extent we reached our goals with each group of performers. 5: We will measure the success of artists connecting with new audiences by seeing attendees interact with and become familiar with local artists and their work. We will interview the artists for input and feedback following the concerts to understand areas of improvement.The committee will count the number of attendees at each concert. We will interview attendees informally about why they come each week and why they want to attend the concerts. We will also use evaluation surveys that ask how far they have driven to attend the concert and whether they would attend another.","We communicated the events in English, Spanish and Somali on promotional material and were moderately successful, increasing the diversity of our audience with a noticeable increase in Hispanic attendees and a small increase in Black/Somali attendees. We also targeted outreach to organizations giving services to elderly residences and people with disabilities, offering to help individuals needing specific accommodations. Our overall attendance in 2021 more than doubled from previous years. The vast majority of attendees rated the concerts as excellent. The event encourages the development of local talent by giving area musicians a platform. Local citizens were able to hear and appreciate a variety of musical genres. Additionally, we promoted different local artists at each concert.","Achieved proposed outcomes",1418,"Other,local or private",6493,,"Mary Wohnoutka, Sandy Saulsbury, Dee Ahrenholz, Diane Bjerke, Marie Doran, Connie Filley, Carol Lee, Tommi Pirotta, Barb Ree, Julie Rote, Connie Scheevel, Val Sechler, Leslie Valiant, Hanne Williams",0.00,"City of Spicer","Local/Regional Government","Art Project",,"Spicer Music in the Park",2020-05-01,2021-10-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Mary,Wohnoutka,"City of Spicer","PO Box 656",Spicer,MN,56288,"(320) 796-4383",wohn@tds.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Kandiyohi, Stearns, Pope, Swift, Chippewa, Renville, Meeker, McLeod",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-247,"Jeff Iverson, music, theater, education; Georgette Jones, theater, education, SMAC Board; Maureen Keimig, theater, Michele Sterner, theatre, SMAC Board; Sheila Tabaka, theater, education; John Voit, music, theater, education; Erica Volkir, theater, SMAC Board.","Cheri Buzzeo: theater, music, The Barn Theatre administration, Willmar Main St participant; Lauren Carlson: poetry, film, COMPAS roster artist, Dept. of Public Transformation board; Carisa Clarke: graphic design/web development, arts volunteer, board member DAC of Murray County; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Greg Jodzio: photography/design, Hutchinson Center for the Arts board, Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women's Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor/director/teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician, Hinterland Art Crawl board; Shawn Kinsinger: theater director, actor, musician, Palace Theatre executive director, Green Earth Players vice president, Luverne Street Music board member, Luverne High School Theater artistic director; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker; Alison Nelson: art, music, and dance teacher, KMS Community Ed director, Kerkhoven Fire Department Auxiliary fundraiser; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Betsy Pardick: musician, actor, Dept. of Public Transformation committees; Michele Knife Sterner: theater (actor), SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Louella Voigt: music, fiber art; Blue Mound Area Theatre board; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Pipestone Performing Arts Center board, Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB director; John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Mark Wilmes: Lake Benton Opera House board president, actor/director, musician, reporter;",,2

Supporting artists and arts organizations in creating, producing and presenting high-quality arts activities, and 3. Instilling the arts into the community and public life in our region. Specific Goals: 1) To have six (6) professional artists display and sell their work in an artist friendly venue at the Cultural Centre which increases their consumer exposure. 2) To engage at least 150 adults to participate in viewing the Exhibits at the Cultural Centre. 3. To engage at least twenty community youth (at least 15% Hispanic [3]) to view the Exhibits at the Cultural Centre. 4) To have photo documentation of the Artist Receptions for each artist. 5)To record a video of all three artists’ “Meet the Artist” presentations and download to our website. Each presentation will last between ten -15 minutes. 1) At the end of each monthly exhibition, each artist will be given an evaluation form documenting the venue, ease of installation, staff assistance, communication, advertising and the artist reception with ratings ranging from 1(low) to five (high). They will also evaluate whether their exposure to the community increased, stayed the same or decreased. There will be space allowed to write their feedback. 2) At the end of the five (5) month exhibition period results will be tabulated as well as the daily count of the consumers A = adults and C =children visiting the exhibition site. Simple guest surveys will be located at the exit with a request to be completed.This survey will ask three questions. a) Rate the exhibit on a scale from 1(low) to 5(high) on appreciation of the artist’s work. b) Did the exhibit inspire a desire to pursue classes in the arts. c) Did you drive less than 30 miles or more than 30 miles to attend the exhibition. The answers will be tabulated at the end of each day and compiled at the end of the five (5) month project. 3) A photo documentation album of the three Artists Receptions will be created and remain at the Centre for future visitor viewing. 4) There will be a video created of each artist’s “talk” (background, techniques, questions, etc.) at each of the three Artist Receptions and will remain at the Centre for future visitor viewing.","Artists felt that their exposure increased due to their gallery exhibition. All of the artists reported positive comments regarding staff assistance and advertising and had no suggestions for improvement. For a number of the artists, this was their first gallery show and they were extremely pleased with the results. The attendance was much higher than the goal established; 1014 adults and 148 youth viewed the five exhibits. Having the artist interact directly with participants as they view the art objects and discuss their art techniques and works (instead of a ""Meet the Artist"" presentation) appeared to be much more personal and informative to participants. A Facebook video of each exhibit's complete works displayed, lasting 15-25 minutes, was posted live on Facebook. Facebook viewers were pleased and commented on the artists' work.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",1792,"Other,local or private",8602,,"Paul Heyl, Chuck Brown, Mark Glesener, Gene Wenstrom, Don Orth",0.00,"Bird Island Cultural Centre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"Monthly Art Exhibitions.",2019-02-15,2019-07-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Rosemary,Glesener,"Bird Island Cultural Centre","PO Box 434","Bird Island",MN,55310,,rglesener@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,Renville,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-204,"Anne Dybsetter: visual art, writing; John Ginocchio: music, education; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Jane Nygaard: arts advocate; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University associate director for Access Opportunity Success program, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Tom Wirt: visual art.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women’s Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O’Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Scott Wessels: theater actor, director, writing, media, communications, board member for Green Earth Players; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2

We seek to instill the arts into the community and public life in our region by honoring how the Chord-Ayres have served the community for 50 years. Change expected: We are seeking to elicit an emotional response to the performance and to the broadcast that will lead to a renewed desire to sustain a male chorus in the community. Goal 2. We seek to stage an event that represents the diverse ethnic and cultural arts traditions represented in this region. Change Expected: As a result of the project we expect there will be a new intent and motivation to participate in groups like this. Goal 3. We want to tell the Chord-Ayres story to a large regional audience and record the history of the group for posterity. Change expected: Our group will learn something new about the effective use of television and a highly produced recording that will increase our capacity to sustain our work through more contributors and members. The Chord-Ayres have a long history or eliciting emotional responses to our performances. On dozens of occasions we have brought audiences of vets to tears, brought them to their feet and received thunderous applause. We will have a audience survey at the September 14, 2019 event to gauge reaction and we will tabulate the response. We will work with Ashley Hanson to develop the survey. Hanson is an Obama Fellow and a Granite Falls Resident Artist who has extensive experience in designing evaluations for Legacy funded performances. We will measure the number of students and Senior Citizens who come to the performance and participate in it in order to evaluate how we do on representing the diverse elements of our community.","Many of the responses indicated that they learned something about the history of the Chord - Ayres. Many of the comments were in regards to the audience learning about our history and them learning how dedicated this group is. The majority of responses indicated they see more of a value to having a men's chorus than before the concert. This will hopefully lead to more participating from younger men in the region to join our group. One of the best parts of the show is when we had the 5th and 6th grade students join us in singing a couple of songs. One of the students stood by his grandpa when they sang with us. More importantly it showed the audience in attendance and the televised audience that we involved a lot of students from the Micronesian community that is very prevalent in Milan.","Achieved proposed outcomes",8445,"Other,local or private",15445,,"Wes Anderson, Dick Jepson, Stanley Knudson, Carmen Fernholz, Dick Hauck",0.00,Chord-Ayres,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"Chord-Ayres 50th Anniversary Concert and Documentary Project.",2019-03-05,2020-06-29,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Richard,Jepson,Chord-Ayres,"10253 850th Ave","Granite Falls",MN,56241,"(320) 981-0363",jeps53@me.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Lac qui Parle, Big Stone, Big Stone, Swift, Chippewa, Yellow Medicine, Lyon, Renville, Redwood",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-208,"Anne Dybsetter: visual art, writing; John Ginocchio: music, education; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Jane Nygaard: arts advocate; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University associate director for Access Opportunity Success program, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Tom Wirt: visual art.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women’s Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O’Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Scott Wessels: theater actor, director, writing, media, communications, board member for Green Earth Players; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2

We will measure our success in meeting each of these goals through our evaluation tools. This project directly connects to three of the five Main Goals of Minnesota funding in the following ways: 1) Supporting artists and arts organizations in creating, producing and presenting high-quality arts activities - We will achieve this by engaging professional artists working with PlaceBase Productions, and by engaging and paying local artists as performers and musicians. 2) Overcoming barriers to accessing high-quality arts activities - We will achieve this by bringing a high-quality, original musical written and directed by professional artists to our region. And, we will include two free public performances to reduce barriers created by ticket costs. 3) Instilling the arts into the community and public life in our region - We will achieve this by integrating theater into the existing landscape and community events, and by including more partners in this initiative. PlaceBase Productions will engage an evaluator who will conduct qualitative, quantitative and participatory evaluation strategies throughout the project, involving the perspectives of all stakeholders – including the cast, story swap participants, and audience members. The final act of the play will be at Bluenose Gopher Public House and include one free beverage. The survey will act as the beverage coupon and will be required to complete before collecting the free drink. One month following the final performance, PlaceBase will conduct an Evaluation Session. The cast, partners and stakeholders will be invited to evaluate the ripple effects of the project and discuss next steps. All information gathered will be compiled and presented to the stakeholders in an Evaluation Report completed by PlaceBase Productions. PlaceBase Productions will also engage a videographer / photographer who will document elements of the process, prepare a short video documentary, and capture the performance, which will be made available to the cast, partners, and community following the production.","The production attracted a regional and intergenerational audience including many who do not typically attend arts events in our region. Many also expressed being surprised by the level of talent and quality of the production - especially the music and singing; they enjoyed moving from scene to scene and experiencing the different scene locations; they appreciated learning about the history of the area in a new way; and they were impressed by the level of participation from both audiences and cast.

The potters' feedback is that this is one of their favorite events of the year because most traditional art shows don't draw pottery focused audiences and tend to not foster opportunities for the potters to collaborate and share techniques. 88% say they plan apply to participate next year.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",12473,"Other,local or private",19429,,"Betsy Price, Mandy Baldry, Morgan Baum, Kerry Brooks, Ernest Miller, Nate Saunders",0.00,"Minnesota Pottery Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"2019 Minnesota Pottery Festival.",2019-03-01,2019-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Morgan,Baum,"Minnesota Pottery Festival","17614 240th St",Hutchinson,MN,55350,"(512) 809-7771",morgan@claycoyote.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"McLeod, Carver, Hennepin, Kandiyohi, Meeker, Nicollet, Renville, Scott, Sibley, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-215,"Anne Dybsetter: visual art, writing; John Ginocchio: music, education; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Jane Nygaard: arts advocate; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University associate director for Access Opportunity Success program, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Tom Wirt: visual art.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women’s Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O’Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Scott Wessels: theater actor, director, writing, media, communications, board member for Green Earth Players; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2

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

Our band has improved under the direction of Brock Duncan, and we hope that we not only increase our audience attendance, but also the number of musicians in our ensemble. We have seen a small increase in the number of musicians in our band. We are proud that we draw musicians from at least eleven cities in our area. In addition to recruiting new members via word-of-mouth, we hope increasing our advertising efforts alerts potential band members to learn about us. We contact area band directors to let them know that we welcome any of their advanced students to join us. Performing our spring concert at the NLS Performing Arts Center, with NLS student musicians, is another way we hope to recruit new band members. It is important to note that no one is turned away from playing in our band. There is a certain amount of self-selection that occurs because of the difficulty level of much of our music, but we have a core belief that as long as members come to rehearsals and bring their music home to practice, there is a place for them. Our spring concert featured 48 musicians, this fall we had 44 musicians playing, and in summer we average about 30 performers. Our goal would be to have at least 58 different band members play with us in 2019. Besides traveling to the New London-Spicer High School to perform this spring, we also want to continue to perform for our sizable summer audiences, and at community celebrations like the tribute to our local veterans at the Kandiyohi County Fair. Hearing live music in a concert hall and at a park adds to the richness of life in a rural community. For the first time, we will use an audience survey at our indoor concerts. The surveys will be placed in the programs, and we will ask people to leave them outside the concert hall. We looked at a few surveys from other music organizations and compiled our own. A board member will tabulate the results, and the board will discuss how to respond to the feedback, especially regarding advertising and repertoire. It would be very difficult to distribute surveys at our outdoor concerts in the park since there are no programs, ticket takers, or ushers.","We included audience surveys for the first time (only at indoor concerts), and the feedback was very positive. We had about 50% of audience members return the surveys, and over 95% of them wrote that they enjoyed the variety of music we played. It was particularly gratifying to learn that a large majority enjoyed the serious music, with its challenging rhythms, notes, and interpretations. Quite a few wished the concerts were longer. More than a few wrote that we reminded them of their pleasure at playing in their school band when they were younger. Not surprisingly, the average age of our audience members was over 40 - and especially over 55. That's why it is very encouraging that we have so many young people in our band. We need to build an audience for the future.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",4367,"Other,local or private",6927,,"Karen Swenson, Dennis Benson, Susan Jungklaus, Sharon Dubois, Mary Pieh, John Mack, Brock Duncan",0.00,"Prairie Winds Concert Band","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"Prairie Winds Concert Band 2019 Concerts.",2019-02-15,2019-12-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Mary,Pieh,"Prairie Winds Concert Band","16648 85th St NE","New London",MN,56273,"(320) 354-2906",tpieh@tds.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Kandiyohi, Meeker, Renville, Chippewa, Swift",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-217,"Anne Dybsetter: visual art, writing; John Ginocchio: music, education; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Jane Nygaard: arts advocate; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University associate director for Access Opportunity Success program, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council Board; Tom Wirt: visual art.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women’s Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O’Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Scott Wessels: theater actor, director, writing, media, communications, board member for Green Earth Players; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.","Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, Nicole DeBoer (507) 537-1471",1

We take a count of people seated in the immediate deck area and then add the estimated number of seated across the street at a restaurant's dining patio where many congregate to listen and enjoy performances as well as boaters who park their boats below the deck to listen to performances. Further, we estimate the number of attendees listening from a nearby picnic shelter and nearby picnic tables. We also include children playing at the playground who can hear the music. We will continue counting our audience to determine whether we meet this goal. One of our evaluation questions asks audience members to describe how far they have come in order to participate. We find we are reaching into many nearby towns, such as Paynesville, Olivia, Litchfield, and Redwood Falls. A second goal is to support ""artists and arts organizations in creating, producing and presenting high quality arts activities."" We can measure the level to which we achieve this in the minds of attendees through evaluations. One evaluation question asks about the skill level of the performing group. Another asks about the program the group selected to play. The Spicer Beautification Committee will conduct informal interviews about the quality and skill level of the musicians with concert goers at each concert, a major goal of the committee. We will jot down comments we hear and use that information to judge whether a group should be invited back. We will also use the evaluation instrument in the form of surveys to determine to what extent we reached that goal with each group of performers. One of the evaluation questions asks about the skill level of the performing group. Another surveys the effectiveness of the program chosen for the performance. Last season we had outstanding skill and program feedback about musicians. Our audience loved the variety of genres presented, loved the programs the musicians chose, and felt they were skilled. Another goal is to constantly increase the number of people who attend the Music in the Park series. The committee will count the number of attendees as indicated under project goals. We will interview attendees informally about why they come each week and why they want to attend the concerts. We will also use evaluation surveys that question how far they have driven to attend the concert and whether they would attend another.

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

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

Secondly, others in the community will recognize that youth choir performances can be of high quality, entertaining and enjoyable to attend. The community will see the youth choir as being a valuable youth activity and support its continuation in the future.

Through participation in this project, participants will spend one week exploring and expanding both their music and theater skills. This will be done through improvisation, team-building activities, and performing a musical. Through teamwork, they will produce Disney's The Lion King within one week's time. 2. Throughout the one-week process of participants experiencing the Lion King theater camp, they will produce a musical that anyone in our community will be able to attend. We will have an audience of at least 50 per night. These audience members will be exposed to high-quality musical theater through this process. 3. Through the one-week theater camp, we will inspire younger performers to be involved in the high school theater program and increase the number of students involved. We will create this lifelong learning opportunity for them and continue to maintain, support, and build our own organization while promoting and inspiring our local school's theater program. 4. The Lion King features pieces of African culture and music. Everyone and their mother has seen the movie, but not many get to experience this show live on stage. We will experience the diverse culture in The Lion King and bring it to Southwestern Minnesota. We will survey all participants at the conclusion of our week-long camp to gain an understanding of the value of their experience. Youth will be asked if their plan on continuing their theater experience. We will survey the audience to see if they enjoyed the performance and ask their opinion on what the ""next step"" should be for their community theater in their town. We will track the size of the audience and compare with previous projects. We will also track the involvement of students in the local school's theater program. We will dialogue at the board meeting following the camp to gather survey results and talk about how we can expand, and be more effective in offering theater experiences for individuals in our community. We will look at what went well and what didn't go well. We will also look at our SMART goals and see if we achieved them. If we didn't, we will devise a plan as to how to meet them next time (if the goals stay the same). We will ask the community what show or project they would like to see in the future and take their suggestions into consideration.

We can help our community overcome geographic and economic barriers to accessing high-quality musical performances close to home. In doing this we believe that we are also playing our part in instilling the arts into our community and the public life of our region. The New London Music Festival has become a yearly tradition here where people can come, enjoy the day, and experience live the rich musical tradition of our region and our country. This is very much in tune with the civic direction of New London - to make the arts an everyday part of community life. Part of this goal is to increase the number of attendees between the ages of 25 - 50 as they have been under-represented in our audiences. Each year the Festival Committee reviews survey forms, which are given to each attendee. Attendees are given an incentive to return the forms by the award of a cash door prize given to a randomly selected person who has filled out a survey form. The results of the survey tell us a lot about the demographics of our audience (home town and age), what they liked and disliked about the music and the artists, and what we can do better for next year. We also closely review attendance based on ticket sales and monitor comments left on our Facebook site. Comments, both from the survey and from Facebook, are very useful as they help give us a sense as to what genres of music are interesting and valued by our audience and what new areas we might explore. A meeting of the committee is held within a month after the Festival to read, analyze, and discuss the results and plan for the coming year. Success for us will be measured in total attendance, attendance increases within the 25 - 50 age group, and increases in approval ratings from year to year.","Attendees came from 14 Minnesota counties, 2 other states, plus Canada (2016 had attendees from 11 counties and 1 other state).

Providing a more comfortable atmosphere will allow a child to feel less anxious about telling the interviewer about their abuse. Therefore, a more comfortable space, more disclosures. We also conduct follow up surveys via the phone with all families seen at the Child Advocacy Center and one important question is, did you feel comfortable in the Child Advocacy Center and did your child feel comfortable here?

Participants should enjoy the arts experience and leave the class feeling that they have a greater understanding of the art discipline.

We had to position walls to make sure that they would not be distracted when someone would come into the gallery space or if the phone would ring. We learned that soothing music while the students worked on a project would help drowned out some of the background distractions. Outside of admin logistics we found that these young people would attend other programs at The Center, greatly increasing the impact on our organization. Our monthly Open Mic Night has grown in middle school age attendees, and we credit that to these after school art lessons. We know that the impact of having weekly young people creating and learning different art forms allowed for other visitors and participants of The Center to see the potential of our young organization. Each time someone would comment on a piece that might be out drying, they were constantly astounded that we had such a program happening...we know that we are making a difference, and growing our arts community. As we previously stated, we know that the impact of having weekly young people creating and learning different art forms allowed for other visitors and participants of The Center to see the potential of our young organization. Each time someone would walk past The Center and would see the young people in class, they would ask about other opportunities that we have available. This word or mouth marketing was and is huge for us. We know that The Center can fill a hole that exists in arts opportunities for our young people. This after school program helped to show that we are making a difference, and growing our arts community.",,1500,"Other, local or private",5360,,"Corey Stearns, Steve Glasser, Tom Wirt, Marc Vaillancourt, Heather Knorr, LuAnn Drazkowski, Dolf Moon, Joshua Schroeder, James Fahey,Kris Haag, Kim Koski, Mary Anne Kohls, Holly Dapper, Roman Bloemke, Careen Pierson",,"Hutchinson Center for the Arts","Non-Profit Business/Entity","After School Art Lessons",,"After School Art Lessons.",2012-10-15,2013-06-28,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Cindy,Ludewig,"Hutchinson Center for the Arts","15 Franklin St SW PO Box 667",Hutchinson,MN,55350,"(320) 587-7278 ",director@hutchinsonarts.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"McLeod, Meeker, Sibley",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-grant-16,"Deb Larson: visual artist, president of Big Stone County Arts Council; Jane Link: visual artist, board member of Milan Village Arts School, and Milan Community Education, and Greater Milan Initiative; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Connie Feig: arts advocate, board member of the Barn Theater and Willmar Area Arts Council; Randy Meyer: visual artist and farmer, former art teacher; Kate Aydin: retired educator, multidisciplinary curriculum developer, board member of Lincoln County Pioneer Museum; Paula Nemes: musician, librarian, former coordinator of the Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Vice President of Marshall Area Stage Company; Tom Wirt: artist, owner of Clay Coyote Gallery, founding member and president of Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member of Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Susan Marco: writer, High School English and creative writing teacher; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, board member of Prairie Music Association and Prairie Oasis Players, former clogger; Ellen Copperud: retired language arts teacher, theatre director; Dan Wahl: visual artist, musician, participant in community theater productions, adjunct English instructor at Southwest Minnesota State University; Tamara Isfeld: visual artist, art teacher for Renville County West Schools, Arts Meander planning committee, board member at Granite Arts Council and Renville Friends of the Arts; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, treasurer of Rock County Fine Arts Association, board member for Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County, Art Rocks planning committee; Sydney Massee: visual artist, quilter, behind the scenes assistant in theatre productions, board member of Lac qui Parle Valley School District.","Audrey Fuller: writer, arts advocate, tribal planner, grant writer; Maggie Harp: musician, music teacher, active in New London arts and theatre community; Barb Nelson: art teacher, vocal musician, Children's theatre director; Paula Nemes: musician, librarian, former coordinator of the Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Vice President of the Marshall Area Stage Company; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, founding member and president of Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member of the Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Mark Wilmes: actor, singer, director, president of Lake Benton Opera House.","Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, Greta Murray (507) 537-1471 ",1

To measure them we will complete the following activities: Dakota Wicohan Arts Coordinator will maintain program records of all arts activities; The 20 middle school youth will share what they’ve learned in focus groups and circles led by Dakota Wicohan staff and the consulting artists; The 5-10 high school apprentices will write reflections of their experiences for publication in our newsletter; The families and audience members will assess their experience in the guest book at each public showcase. The assessment team will monitor the arts residencies. Our participants play the most important role in the evaluation. We are using indigenous evaluation methods to identify the sense of belonging and our new youth leadership project for middle school youth. Results will be used to improve our future arts programing at Dakota Wicohan. We intend to permanently incorporate the arts into our youth programs and are committed to continue nurturing and supporting our Dakota artists and their work in our Native community. We also hope that our high school apprentices continue to develop their interest in the arts for sustainability in revitalizing the arts in our community. We hope to learn how connecting rural Native youth to contemporary art forms sparks an ongoing interest in the arts. We hope to learn how to model to families ways to support their youth’s interest in the arts. We also hope our organization better learns how to operate arts activities and to support Dakota artists.","The Dakota Star Stories Project met its three intended outcomes, engaging slightly fewer youth apprentices than projected, but reaching many more audience members through more PR channels than projected. It was interesting to see the development of skill between the first and the second videos made by the youth. We are pleased with their growth and confidence as artists. At least half of the participants expressed interest in continuing the art form. The summer camp video enhanced a sense of belonging and cohesion among the group and the participants' connection to Dakota traditions, and the land. More than 100 people watched the two youth videos at the Dakota Wicohan Annual Event held at Jackpot Junction on Lower Sioux on October 17, 2014.

We hope that students will gain a sense of new knowledge and possibilities through art. We aim to not only develop their artistic skills such as painting and drawing, but to further develop other curriculums in correlation to the arts. For example, a lesson on textiles and or basket weaving has an aim of course, of creating a basket, but also future work in math and learning about ancient cultures. In addition to cultivating artistic skills and hand-eye coordination, we hope to cultivate a sense of art appreciation in youth.Our teachers will implement the use of rubric to see if the child has learned the technique"" being offered. The teacher provides the mechanical technique and fosters an environment where the child's individual spirit is free to express and develop itself. Setting up a rubric will help see visible signs of attempting each step. At the end of the program we will also ask parents to complete surveys grading each class, the teachers, the technique taught and implemented and to rate their student's advancement and skill level. We will ask the students themselves to rate the classes, teachers and projects to gain insight on what classes we should be teaching at the center. We will survey the teachers for suggestions on future classes to add to the curriculum.

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

Second, to foster a sense of value and appreciation for art and history. Third, to build partnerships with local county art and history organizations that build future public programming and reach a more diverse and board audience. Fourth, to preserve the history of our county and to open up a dialog about rural life in the 1920s, 30s and 40s and how that has shaped our county to-date and how understanding this history will impact our future.The Museum will use ticket sales and attendance counts to determine the access level of the project, along with a detailed survey that will focus on the impact that the performance had on them and the value and appreciation they had for having the opportunity to attend. The survey will also cover how they heard about the performance and if they are currently affiliated with any of the four art and history organizations involved. Future programming partnerships between the art and history organizations will also be recorded as an achievement of our goals. The Museum also hopes to promote sharing of stories of rural life in McLeod County by offering a blog site on their website and will challenge other organizations to do the same. These stories will be preserved in the Museum's digital archive and used as a part of our historical research collection that is open to the public.","507 total guests, 168 kids tickets at $5,339 adult tickets at $10.

Festival attendance is important because we want to expose as many people and families to a high-quality arts experience as possible. It is also an indication of the overall success of our event—quality artists, successful advertising, attention to site details, and quality volunteers should all lead to increased ticket sales and attendance. Goal 2: Audience location range increases. We see a good mix of local and Twin Cities attendees. To grow overall attendance, we need to increase our reach to other areas of Minnesota and beyond to promote RiverSong and pull people to our community. Outside of the project goal, we feel it is important to note that we have an operational goal we will be working on during this time frame as well. Although not tied to this project specifically, this organizing goal will benefit our 2015 festival. Goal 3: RiverSong completes formal organizing process to add steering committee capacity and continue strategic planning, ensuring the festival is set up for future success.Ticket sales and total attendance will be tracked to measure the outcome and compare growth to previous years. Pre-sale and gate sales are recorded. Volunteers, artists and vendors are also tracked using passes. Children will receive wristbands to count them. We will track attendee residence using online ticket sale information and by requesting zip codes for on-site ticket sales. This will help evaluate the success of our marketing in different locations. The steering committee will review results and consider what factors we see as influencing attendance based on residence and survey results. Increased ticket sales will also drive on-site revenue, which helps the festival become more financially stable and less reliant on grants and sponsorships, without passing on the additional expenses to individual ticket buyers. As noted in our organizational goal three, internal structure is important in this stage of RiverSong’s growth. Tangible outcomes will include 501(c)(3) documentation, 3-year strategic plan and a steering committee succession plan. While not tied to this project, these items will benefit our 2015 festival.","1.

The achievement of goal one (1) will be self-evident. To measure goal two (2) we will provide a sign-in sheet for those in attendance at the Dakota Women’s Gatherings so that we may have a record of attendance. After sharing the CD and allowing an opportunity for those in attendance to hear the CD, we will have an evaluative discussion about the project, recording the results of those for inclusion in the final report to Southwest Minnesota Arts Council. Questions we might ask include: What is your response to hearing these songs? What do they bring to mind? Why are these songs important? How might they help you? And, how might you use them in the future? To measure goal three (3), we will include an evaluative survey in CDs we send out to organizations, institutions, libraries, and individuals outside the Dakota community. That survey is attached below.","For the community responses provided during the CD-Release events, we took notes of the feedback as each individual spoke. This allowed us immediate feedback from everyone in attendance and was extremely useful and uplifting to know that this project was having a positive impact on people in our communities. Those who took the time to respond to the CD evaluation survey believed it to be of great value and benefit. For example, one treatment center believed that using the CD to help ground one of their Native American female clients in her culture helped to alleviate her cravings, triggers, and stress. Libraries in Madison, Dawson, and Minneota felt the project would give their patrons an introduction to music they had not heard before and that it would open doors to understanding and appreciation of Dakota culture.

Regarding the musical aspect, we want residents to not only become aware of the local talent that we have but to grow in their appreciation of this talent. A measurable goal for the Market this season will be to determine if audience members were already familiar with the musical talent and type of music. A survey will allow us to determine the basic demographics of participants, what draws them to the Market, what their feelings are on the musical talent, and how they engage with the music. The survey also allows input for suggestions on other local musical talent that they would like to see at the Market.","For the musical talent aspect of the Market, survey responses were overwhelmingly positive in regards to participants' opinions on having a musical talent component. Participants noted the positive contributions that the music provided to the overall atmosphere of the Market and the opportunity to hear local musical talent that many participants would otherwise not have the opportunity to hear. Because of the shorter Market season this year, the Market committee had to limit the number of artist that played at the Market.

In regards to the musical aspect of the Market, the committee wants residents to not only become aware of the local talent that exists in Southwest Minnesota, but to grow in their appreciation of that talent. A measurable goal for the Market will continue to be to determine if the participant was familiar with the musical talent prior to their visit to the Market and for that participant to also indicate if they are familiar with the type of music that they experienced during the market season. If the musical talent or type of music is something new to the participant, they will be asked, via a survey, what their impressions are of this music. As a way to continually determine what draws people to Central Park Market and to assess their thoughts and feelings regarding musical performances at the Market, the Market committee will distribute the attached survey to participants during market hours. This year, the survey will be made available during and after the market season. The Market committee will also post a link on our Facebook page to a survey link on Survey Monkey that they can continue to submit throughout the market season. The committee hopes that by allowing an online option for the survey, there will be a greater number of responses, including more suggestions on who the Market committee should contact for musical performances in the future.","At the end of the Market season, the committee created an on-line survey on ""Survey Monkey"" to help determine how frequently residents attended the market during the season, how important music at the market was to their experience, what their exposure was to this music and what type of music they would like to see in the future. The survey showed that most attendees at the Market were frequent visitors to the Market; overwhelmingly, music at the Market was very important to their market experience; most were aware of the local musical talent performed; attendees enjoyed the mix of musicians; knowledge of local musical talent was somewhat increased; and a desire for fast, ""up beat"" musicians.",,835,"Other, local or private",3665,,"Denise Thomas-Aamodt, Terry Timm, Becky Timm, Charles Seipel",0.00,"City of Cottonwood","Local/Regional Government","Art Project",,"Music at Central Park Market",2016-05-16,2016-08-17,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Denise,Thomas,"City of Cottonwood","PO Box 106",Cottonwood,MN,56229,"(507) 423-6488 ",charlie@cityofcottonwoodmn.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Lyon, Yellow Medicine, Redwood, Murray, Renville",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-157,"Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Bill Gossman: visual artist, musician; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor/director/teacher; Maureen Keimig: actor, theater director; Mary Pieh: musician.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor/director/teacher; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Kate Aydin: retired educator; Paula Nemes: musician, librarian, former coordinator of Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Marshall Area Stage Company; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member of Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Susan Marco: writer, former High School English/creative writing teacher; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Dan Wahl: writer, visual artist, director, adjunct English instructor at Southwest Minnesota State University; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: Human Resources Director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Reggie Gorter: vocalist, theatre, voice/dance teacher; Dana Johnson: producer/filmmaker; Scott Tedrick: journalist, Granite Falls Riverfront Revitalization, theatre director/actor.",,2

We plan to complete surveys with participants and artists. In those results we will collect information about who people interacted with, what they learned at the event, and where we can improve the event to further meet the needs of our community. We will have a photo booth where people can tell us ""Why we love art"" in Dassel, and be able to collect that outreach information.

One of the main benefits we saw during the week was watching kids of various ages work together to put on a complete performance. Watching the kids battle through pre-show nerves and seeing their expressions of delight as the audience interacted with their performance was wonderful.

It is vital for artists within our region specifically, as there are few opportunities for them to showcase their work locally. Artist workshops not only promote the artist but also the HCA, and provide valuable arts education to the community.

Interactive surveys at the exhibit ask viewers to select from several response choices that are representative of their experience of the exhibit and venue. Anecdotal feedback is also recorded in the exhibition guest log which invites guests to sign their name and leave feedback.

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

The 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.

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.

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.

The two winning composers from the competition proved to be invaluable supporters for this project bringing in a high number of new audience members to me (measured by audience survey responses) and also helping me add two performance stops on the tour. The success of this competition has also led quite a large number of other local composers to approach me about writing music for me to perform. The commissioned work was also highly successful.

Audiences consistently picked this piece as their favorite from the concerts, and the success of working with the composer on the commission has opened up future performance opportunities for me. 2: I successfully produced eleven concerts and two workshops related to this project, partnering with a number of new organizations as well as groups already in my network. I learned quite a bit about co-producing concerts with arts organizations that will be invaluable for producing future performances.

I plan to go through my personal portfolio periodically as part of an honest self-evaluation. I am going to write a bi-weekly personal development plan noting my strengths, weaknesses and short term goals while building my resume and networking. 2: This project can serve as the voice for Minnesotans that go unheard because they lack the platform. I will pass my business card to inform people what website event photos will be displayed. The website will be interactive and allow people to voice their opinions. I will record the number of visitors every week and adjust the website accordingly.","This project has significantly helped me further develop my skills in photography. I covered more than 20 events in the past year and took an average of 50 photos per event which gave me significant amount of experience in shooting subjects that are in motion, working with different lighting conditions, editing and storytelling. As I covered more events and improved my skills, I went back to my portfolio and re-edited and reformatted my photos every 6-8 weeks. I also kept a monthly journal outlining my strengths, weaknesses and short term goals and plans on how I can improve and learn from the events I covered thus far. In an attempt to improve some of my weaknesses, I was able to take some photography classes offered at the University of Minnesota. 2: This project documented less recognized rallies with an attempt to serve as the voice for Minnesotans that go unheard because they lack the platform to do so. When I first started covering events, I was very proactive in passing my business card to let people know where the photos would be available. However, as I continued to cover more events, more people were able to recognize me and approach me with their opinions and feedbacks. Half way through my project, I started incorporating social media which really helped boost my website visit per month from an average of 50 views a month to around 200 visits per month. Social media created a platform form for people to talk about and comment on each of the events.

New relationships with members of groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization are built. We will continue our research with members of the Singing Hills Chorus. Surveys developed and used last year will continue to be used. These pre- and post-surveys were specifically designed for the three types of members in the chorus: People living with AD/OAD, care partners and volunteers. New and returning chorus members will be invited to participate in the on-going study, each session. We believe it is important to survey returning members to explore the experiences of chorus participants, including those with AD/OAD, which are progressive diseases. Chorus members will complete surveys at the beginning and ending of each 16-week chorus session. Surveys will be administered virtually or via phone if we are not able to meet in person.","The evaluation plan was conducted by the same team. They used email and phone calls to conduct the survey due to Covid-19. They added questions related to Covid-19. The findings about the virtual vs. in-person environment match what we heard and observed over the fall and spring seasons. A few GVI choruses are considering a hybrid model in the fall, we are not. We believe the original model is the best for our audience. It also would requires additional equipment, staff and time to facilitate. We will use Zoom if we have poor weather conditions. Of note, were the reflections of the volunteers. Their role has changed but they are critical to the success of the program.

Through this project we will hope to help our students learn a new art skills and technique while growing to appreciate these new skills and this art form. Students' attitude about their art, their access to art and their own confidence in their artistic abilities will be enhanced through this project. 9: ""Regional residents gain awareness and appreciation for a variety of artistic disciplines and mediums."" Students will have gained a greater understanding of different artistic processes, specifically in book arts processes through the use of book re-purposing, multi media art design and paper making processes. We also hope that by providing more arts opportunities we will increase the self-esteem of our students -- confidence in themselves, their communication skills, their art work, their ability to present their work in a meaningful way and be on the road to becoming more self-actualized individuals. Students will be given an evaluation tool before beginning this arts program and at the end of the residency after the gallery showing. Goals 8 and 9 are addressed and assessed through this tool as well as outcomes relating to our students confidence in themselves, their art, their relationships with peers and adults. A five point scale will be used. The number will be totaled on the evaluation tool at the beginning of the project and again at the end. If the number is greater at the end of this process and shows growth then we know that our program was successful. The attached evaluation tool is our method of gathering quantitative data on this project and showing our outcomes. Students will also keep a journal throughout this process to show qualitative growth. Students will be encouraged to look back over their journals in preparation for the gallery showing so they are able to strongly communicate their feelings about their work and what it represents.","Students completed a pre-post survey related to their skill level and knowledge about different art skills and techniques. Students also rated themselves on their awareness and appreciation for various artistic disciplines, and their self-confidence with regard to creating art. We are happy to say that all of our students improved by at least one point on every scale from pre to post-survey. Monica helped the students see themselves as artists and gave them the confidence to try something new. You could see the look of self-pride on the students as they followed her instructions to create a new piece of art whether it be a book, paper, or other forms of expressive art.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",,,3875,,"Josh Naples, Jim Barnes, Marie Hoff, Garret Bitker, Jacklyn Skrukrud, Kelly Enriquez",,"Dream Technical Academy","K-12 Education","Arts in the Schools",,"What's Our Story?: Book Arts Residency",2020-04-01,2022-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tammie,Knick,"Dream Technical Academy","1700 16th St NE",Willmar,MN,56201,"(320) 262-5640",tknick@technicalacademies.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Kandiyohi, Renville, Meeker, Swift, McLeod",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-schools-100,"Mary Kay Frisvold, music; Maureen Keimig, theatre; Brett Lehman, music, SMAC Board; Joyce Meyer, visual art, education, SMAC Board; Paula Nemes, theatre, music; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson, visual art, SMAC board; Saara Raappana, writing","Cheri Buzzeo, theater, music, The Barn Theatre administration, Willmar Main St participant; Carisa Clarke: graphic design/web development, arts volunteer, board member DAC of Murray County; Lauren Carlson, poetry, film, COMPAS roster artist, Dept. of Public Transformation board; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women's Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor/director/teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician, Hinterland Art Crawl board; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker; Alison Nelson: art, music, and dance teacher, KMS Community Ed director, Kerkhoven Fire Department Auxiliary fundraiser; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Betsy Pardick, musician, actor, Dept. of Public Transformation committees; Michele Knife Sterner: theater (actor), SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Pipestone Performing Arts Center board, Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB director; John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Mark Wilmes: Lake Benton Opera House board president, actor/director, musician, reporter;",,2

Many greater Minnesota schools have self-identified as needing more arts integrated learning opportunities for students and embedded staff development; this project not only helps to meet those needs, but also introduces subject matter and arts learning opportunities not readily available to schools in greater Minnesota. While we do enjoy a nice community theatre season, the connection of arts integration in the classroom is simply not a resource within our region. Now that we've seen what can happen in those kinds of classes, we want to work to make sure all of our students get to experience at least once. Because of these residencies, arts learners are able to look beyond differences, come to an understanding about their shared experience, and learn how they can work together to build peace. Significantly, this project is sparking conversations in resident communities on issues of equity, respect, integrity, opportunity, race, gender, sexuality, theatre, the arts in general, and that “peace” means different things to different people. PoP activities are helping to achieve the stated outcomes for students to learn how to become agents for peace in their communities through creative expression and collaboration and for teachers to learn arts integration strategies they can implement when teaching topics related to social issues and across curricula.

The change we expect as a part of the project is to successfully complete our Capital Campaign to launch two prototype projects that we believe will have a regional and national impact: 1) The YES! House is a creative economic development concept; transforming an underutilized, Main Street, historic building into a multi-use facility for local residents to connect and create with each other. Through contributions from individuals and local businesses we have now stabilized the building, repaired the roof, and gutted and cleaned the main floor and basement. The next phase of the process will be to bring the community in on the physical design of the space, and finally, on the actual build out of the space. To that end, we are launching SAY YES! Capital Campaign to complete the fundraising needed to finish the space. 2) The Small-Town City Artist in Residence program: The YES! House will also be home to an artist residency program embedding artists in the City of Granite Falls to collaborate with city departments on projects that address city-related initiatives, engage residents in planning processes, encourage active participation in civic life, inform the public on inner-workings of the City, and energize locations around Granite Falls with creative activity. To ensure that we are meeting our goals, we will conduct a pre and post-survey with our board and committee members that helps us measure the skills and tools gained from participating in these trainings. We will also measure success based on our ability to reach our incremental goals of our Capital Campaign as set by our Board and Capital Campaign Steering Committee. We will know that we have been successful if we see an increase in knowledge and skills from the board and committee members that participated in trainings provided by Vela and when we have successfully completed Phase one and launched Phase two of our Capital Campaign.

This creates an excitement which is brought back to our community. I have chaperones ask to go again because they found it so well worth going before. The excitement grows and snowballs, so students have the desire to be part of a musical experience in their own community. They see actors/musicians of all ages, on stage and behind the scenes and are inspired. We have class discussion before we go regarding what to expect etc. After we've attended the show we have a group discussion about: the bus ride, the food, the show, actors, the band/orchestra, costuming, special effects, audience response, audience behavior, if students will go again.

As part of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) part of the goal is to show students how to go through the artistic process. It is important for students to go through the various stages of Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Test, Improve, and Share. Too often the idea of creating art is looked at as magic instead of an evolution of creative thought and process. Students will be documenting the process of creating their puppets. There is a daily data sheet that will be collected for the artist and teachers to review. This will help to make sure the students are grasping the concepts, show where they are struggling and help plan for the next day. Goal #2: Completed parade puppets will be used in a performance for the middle/elementary school. In most parades in our area, they do not have an artistically designed float or characters that walk in the parade. This residency will provide an opportunity to share with the community our parade puppets. Going through this process and seeing how it can be achieved and hopefully will inspire students and others in the community to take on more artistic endeavors. Goal 1: There will be a data sheet collected from the students each day. This will give the insight into how well they understand the project and who is doing what part of the project. It will also help the artist guide the students for the following day. Goal 2: Students will perform with the puppets at school and in summer parades for the community to enjoy. At the end of the residency, the students will rate the quality of the artist residency on the evaluation form. They will be reflecting on their participation as well as the artistic residency by Christopher Lutter Gardella.","Students thought experience was fun and thought the artist was knowledgeable, gave clear instructions, taught them new skills, and helped them individually.","Achieved proposed outcomes",,,4000,,"Dawn Odegard, Sharon Rupp, Steve Rupp, Jeremy Corner, Amanda Lecy, Susan Bones, Sonja Pederson",0.00,"Yellow Medicine East School District","K-12 Education","Arts in the Schools ",,"Yellow Medicine East School District Puppet Residency.

We believe it is important to survey returning members to explore the experiences of chorus participants, including those with AD/OAD, which are progressive diseases. Chorus members will complete surveys at the beginning and ending of each 15-week chorus session. During survey data collection, the researchers will interview chorus participants and explore additional participant experiences by asking follow-up questions. In the coming year, we plan also to include questions about how the experience of choral participation has any, if at all, impact on participants’ lives outside of choral rehearsals. Findings from this study will be presented at local, regional, national, and international conferences.","We did not make changes to the evaluation method.

On the surveys turned in, we learned that very few people accessed information from a newspaper. This may help us allocate future advertising dollars. 48% of the attendees that turned in the survey were in the 41-64 age range, 19% were kids under the age of 18. Most of the surveys turned in were submitted by white/non-hispanic spectators. Although we know that our audience was made up of mostly this group, we did have attendees from other backgrounds.

Through observation and post-project meetings, we will gauge how smaller presenters benefitted from the opportunity to work with an experienced touring company like Ragamala Dance, as well as from other community partnerships forged through this project.","Ragamala Dance toured to four greater Minnesota communities-Rochester in November, Faribault in December, Duluth in February and Austin in February-presenting public performances of our signature work entitled Sacred Earth. Associated community outreach activities included a weeklong residency with middle and high school students at Shattuck-Saint Mary's School in Faribault, a public lecture-demonstration at the University of Minnesota-Duluth (offered in conjunction with a Diversity Summit being held on campus), a lecture-demonstration at the Faribault Public Library, and a public workshop at the Yoga Studio of Austin. Co-presenters of the tour and public performances were Rochester Community and Technical College, Shattuck-Saint Mary's School in Faribault, the University of Minnesota-Duluth, and the Paramount Theater in Austin. None would have had the resources to bring Ragamala dance to their communities were it not for this grant. In this way, we also achieved outcome C, as indicated on our initial proposal. 2: This project provided opportunities for organizations that would not otherwise have had the resources or the administrative capacity to present a company like Ragamala Dance. These included a theater, two state colleges/universities, a high school, a library, and a yoga studio. This grant not only provided a heavy subsidy for Ragamala Dance’s artists' fees, but also allowed us the time to work with our partners in the planning and execution of our activities.

In the future, we will arrange to have our special guests speak at a community center or school. Eighty-four audience members completed a paper survey at the event. Eight percent rated it “good,” and 92% rated it “exceptional” or “great.” Twenty-four audience members answered the extra survey online, more than double our expectation.

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.

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. Only 5% stated that they would “definitely not” participate in theatre in the future. It is our conclusion that this project introduced students to a new arts opportunity that many will pursue in the future.

We accomplished the goals of this project by: A) Presenting two 3-hour storytelling workshops in each of 14 communities in the Southeastern Libraries Cooperating, Pioneerland, and Plum Creek library systems. Those workshop locations and dates are listed on the Story Academy Evaluation Collection Form, attached with this report. B) Creating a website with 30 video storytelling performances and 60 minutes of online storytelling workshops. This website is active and can be found at www.StoryLibrary.Org. We also accomplished all six of the measurable goals set forth on our grant application. 2. We evaluated our outcomes with participant evaluations after each workshop and instructor observation and evaluation of participant storytelling skills. 2: 1. With this project, we reached 265 adults with high-quality storytelling workshops. Approximately half of workshops participants were either teachers or librarians who, according to surveys, will use the storytelling and public speaking skills from this workshop in their work with both adults and children. In addition, this project created an online story performance and workshop video website. This has given teachers and librarians across Minnesota access to high quality story performances and workshops that they can use in their classroom teaching. 2. We used surveys to determine if more Minnesotans were engaged in arts learning through this project. Over 90% of participants report not attending a storytelling workshop before the Minnesota Rural Storytelling Academy. This is probably due to a lack of arts workshops in rural Minnesota.

The instrument will be used in the regular music classes after the completion of the residency to give students more time to practice and learn.

Because the dulcimer is an instrument the students created, there is more ownership and responsibility than with regular classroom instruments. YME School District does not have a string program, so playing the dulcimer provides a new musical experience they may not receive otherwise. Students are exposed to Scandinavian folk music they would not otherwise experience. Students will demonstrate their proficiency with their new dulcimers by playing both in a group and individually. The music teacher will gather feedback from students about the residency by having them create short reflection videos that explain what they learned and perform a song they can play.","All 51 5th grade students successfully built their very own dulcimer, and all were successful at playing their instrument. Even students who had no interest in playing an instrument loved building their own dulcimer. Many students memorized the music that Mr. Sutter taught them to play. Many also commented how proud they were because they made their own dulcimer and were even able to play it. Students also said it was challenging to play together while trying to maintain the tempo and rhythm. Our experience working with Ross Sutter is amazing.

They were unanimously positive in their assessment of the touring experience. They were enthusiastic about the project and the audience reaction. Disappointment was expressed in the size of the audience, signaling the need that more be done to capture the imagination and attention of the community to which we tour.

First, theater skills will be assessed through artists' statements, scripts, and performance. Secondly, journals and surveys will determine youths' views on bullying and the effectiveness of theater as a means to develop therapeutic skills. 2: Woodland Hills will become sustainable as an arts learning venue for underserved youth. A sustainability plan will be developed that examines and plans for supporting arts programming costs through ticket sales, outreach performances, and additional funding sources and partnerships with the school district and a local university.","Woodland Hills could only offer theatre with this support, thus the type of arts learning opportunities at Woodland Hills increased. Also, this outcome was measured by a pre-program survey, which indicated only 10% of arts learners had taken part in an in-depth theatre arts learning experience, thus increasing the quantity of arts learning opportunities for Minnesota youth. The majority of theatre experiences indicated by arts learners took place in schools, so offering theatre at a residential treatment center increased the venues for arts learning opportunities. Secondary: Following the completion of the project, 77% of participants said they would definitely or were interested in participating in theatre in the future. In final reflections, 65% of arts learners indicated the arts learning experience helped them gain understanding about their own personal experiences with how people use power and 89% indicated the project helped them work toward treatment goals. 2: Woodland Hills is challenged to develop a sustainability plan that supports arts programming through ticket sales, outreach performances, other funding sources, or through partnerships with the school district or local universities. Staff retention issues at Woodland Hills and budget shortfalls at Woodland Hills and the schools in 2013 meant fewer resources dedicated to building an arts programs, or any program beyond mental health services.

It enhances musical understanding and builds community. Detailed formal evaluations, with room for commentary and suggestions, one for activity directors, and another for participants, regarding scope, quality, and impact of the seven-part series will be distributed and collected at concluding programs. 2: Bringing arts learning to life-long learners in residences or senior centers removes financial, transportation, and access barriers to participation. Success is measured by attendance, which should stay constant or grow, and by comments and formal evaluations regarding comprehension of material, ability to see and hear the programs, and comments from participants and Activity Directors.","Our seven-program series offered a unique music education opportunity for the residents of the participating senior venues. Many in our audiences told us our presentations were different from the usual fare, our programs being education-based rather than entertainment-based. The long-term association (seven monthly visits) allowed us to offer a sequential music education experience of more breadth and quality to the residents than they usually receive. We also experienced community building as people discussed their reactions to the content of our material, and in many cases introduced themselves to each other, and even rallied together for our return in the future! We assessed our outcomes through a written questionnaire distributed to the audience members as well as a different one for the Activity Directors. We received positive feedback from both, emphasizing enthusiasm especially for the learning aspect of the presentations. 2: We visited ten varied senior residences; facilities ranged in size, demographics of residents, participation of activity directors, etc. This Arts Learning grant allowed us to bring our series at no cost to the venues. There were at least two venues that definitely would not have been able to fund our visits without the 100% funding from this grant. In most venues there were wheel-chair bound, walker-users who would have had physical difficulty leaving the facility for any activity. Since all the venues were ADA compliant we know all types of needs of our audiences were accommodated.

A financial software system that helps us manage growing costs in a responsible way will also help us maintain the low dues and ticket prices, thereby helping to overcome barriers to accessing high-quality arts activities for both participants and audience members. Producing a video that shares our group in a larger circle than is presently known will give us the chance to really expand and build upon what we already do. That video may also introduce some people, people who don't sing or don't perform, to the world of choral singing. We will implement a survey system, analyzing the number of participants and the likelihood that they will return to sing in subsequent seasons, and analyzing the number of concert attendees, assuming that as long as the attendance does not decline that we are presenting programs that people want to see, enjoy, and will attend again in the future. We'll have to be very diligent to determine if any growth we see in participants or audience can be attributed to the video itself. This analysis would include both the surveys and personal interviews. Finally, implementing the financial software for the group will instantly improve how we track expenses and income. When the financial data is accurate and can be easily maintained by volunteer staff, then we will be able to continue to provide an affordable experience for all.","The new software provides access by multiple, password protected parties, automatically downloads and categorizes expenses and income, and provides a host of reports – all of which will insure that we have an excellent treasury record as we move forward.",,40,"Other, local or private",880,,"John D.

Evaluation will occur through an audience and participant questionnaire, personal observation of activities, attendance numbers, and interviews.","95% of the children that are enrolled in Camp Art have never attended an art class taught by an artist outside of this activity. It is too time consuming and expensive for most families to drive kids to the closest art camp which runs for 5 days in Grand Forks. For many campers this is also their only exposure to the art forms that are taught during Camp Art. The camper each filled out a questionnaire rating Camp Art. Each family that attends the Art show fills out a questionnaire asking questions about scheduling, cost, and success of their child's experience at Camp Art. Every year that we have held Camp Art, I re-evaluate if running the camp is worth the amount of time that is spent getting it ready for the kids on the first day and running it. Every year I come back to the same conclusion. There is no way that I can not do this for the kids of the area! It is so much fun to see their questionnaires come back to me full of exclamation points! Both parents and kids will tell me that Camp Art is often the highlight of the summer. Every summer kids are exposed to more art, more ideas, more interesting people with interesting view point and every summer they surprise me when their love of art grows deeper still. How do you measure that? In hugs? In thank yous? In tears from parents when they see their child succeed or become a leader? In artists praise of a community that values its kids and kids who value art? The website designer/ graphic designer/photographer that works for Camp Art recorded the number of visits the site received. There were 812 page views by 118 different individuals.

",," The History Center of Olmsted County (HCOC) is home to a large collection of analog audiovisual material from KTTC, a television station servicing southeastern Minnesota. The collection includes 534 U-matic tapes as well as 605 16mm film reel. The content of the tapes and films is exclusively news outtakes dating from 1976 to 1991.  While the media in this collection are relatively stable, small parts of the collection had been damaged by water and there was evidence of vinegar syndrome, both of which threaten the continued stability of the media. While they are housed in archival quality containers, they are still exhibiting signs of deterioration, which will only increase with time and result in an irreversible loss of information if reformatting was not completed.  All 534 U-matic tapes and 605 16mm film reels were digitized when physically possible. Five of the items could not be digitized because their condition was too poor, and one was not digitized because it was a duplicate of another reel. The digitizing vendor supplied the HCOC with a master copy and an access copy of each digital file once the material was digitized. These were inspected for quality control and then copied onto a set of master hard drives. Checksums were performed to ensure the copies were not corrupted or damaged. Then the files were copied to a second set of hard drives and checksums were performed for that set.  By taking steps to ensure the long-term viability of the material, we will ensure people have access to it for generations to come. The HCOC itself will likely use the footage in any number of future exhibits it creates. People and organizations outside of the HCOC will also be able to use it for their own research and presentation purposes well into the future, just as people now use photos and other archival material from generations long past.  ",2017-12-01,2018-12-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Krista,Lewis,"Olmsted County Historical Society","1195 West Circle Drive SW",Rochester,MN,55902,507-282-9447,archivist@olmstedhistory.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Olmsted,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/audiovisual-conversion,,,,

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

Furthermore, 2016 monitoring indicates that water now fails to meet the state standard by 2 ug/L for phosphorus and 4 ug/L for chlorophyll-a. The SWCD completed a Subwatershed Assessment (SWA) for the lake in 2016 primarily because the lake water quality was so close to exceeding standards. The assessment uses the standardized Metro Conservation District SWA protocol which targets and prioritizes projects based on cost effectiveness and pollutant removal. The assessment was broken into two components, one raking 12 projects in the direct watershed and the other ranking 97 projects in the rural watershed. This proposal will install six of the top projects identified for the direct watershed. These projects are two bioretention basins and a sump to treat runoff from right-of-ways in Spencer Brook Township, a gully and shoreline repair to treat erosion and runoff from a public access in Stanford Township, a sand filter to capture suspended particulate phosphorus released from a channelized wetland in the southeast (SE) inlet on private campground property, and approximately 10,500 square feet of near-shore stormwater reduction practices to treat runoff and erosion from high priority parcels. In addition to these projects, our staff plans to engage residents, officials and rural landowners in order to promote a sustainable culture of lake stewardship. A significant amount of work to prepare for this proposal has been completed; projects have been prioritized, a feasibility study for the SE inlet was completed, preliminary plans have been developed, and the partners are ready to rock! The in-lake phosphorus goal set for the lake in the Rum WRAPS is 31 ug/L. This reflects a 321 pound reduction in watershed phosphorus loading.

Previous assessments indicated the lake was not impaired; however, recent data indicates the lakes' 10-year average Total Phosphorus (TP) and Chlorophyll-a hover just above State Standards. The project we are proposing will result in a 590 pound/year reduction of TP; this will bring the lake back into the ?protection zone.? We aim to accomplish our goal by applying a buffered alum treatment to all lake areas greater than 20 feet deep, as recommended in the Alum Feasibility Study. The specific treatment area was identified as the most cost-effective option in the study. The treatment will be split into two ? doses; the first applied in 2022 and the second in 2024. A Diagnostic Study done by Wenck concluded that the lakes protection goal, as set in the Rum River Watershed Restoration and Protection Study (WRAPS), requires a 360-pound reduction of TP. In addition, the study identified internal loading as the root cause of degraded water quality; it currently contributes 595 pounds/year of phosphorus. The SWCD is currently working to reduce 102 pounds per year from upland sources (as recommended in the Diagnostic Study); we have already reduced upland TP loading by over 40%. We did this by implementing the most cost-effective projects as identified in a Subwatershed Assessment Study; a 2018 Clean Water Fund Grant funded these projects. Except for addressing the internal load, the less cost-effective practices remain. We continue to work to reduce upland phosphorus using other sources of funding. The SWCD and its partners have identified a path to improved recreation in Blue Lake, and an Alum treatment is the next logical and cost-effective step.

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

Despite dropping that project we finished with 89% of the proposed acres being achieved (347 acres completed versus 388 acres proposed).",,"The projects completed with Fy2013 funding used methods similar to those used on projects completed by MNTU chapters in the past several years and also incorporated new research to improve project designs and fish and wildlife benefits. The specific fish habitat enhancement methods used on each stream varied depending upon the distinct natural resource characteristics of each watershed and ecological region, the limiting factors identified for each stream, and the variations in the type and magnitude of poor land uses practices within each watershed. MNTU tailored each project accordingly, using the best available science, in close consultation with resource professionals within the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (“MNDNR”). Purposes: Each project was designed and completed using techniques selected to accomplish one or more of the following purposes: (a) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream; (b) reconnect streams to their floodplains to reduce negative resource impacts from severe flooding; (c) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms; (d) maintain or increase adult trout abundance; (e) increase habitat and biodiversity for both invertebrates and other non-game species; (f) be long lasting with minimal maintenance required; (g) improve angler access and participation; (h) improve lake productivity for trout species; and (i) protect productive trout waters from undesirable invasive species. Habitat enhancement methods: Methods used on each project included one or more of the following techniques: (1) sloping back stream banks to both remove accumulated sediments eroded from uplands areas and better reconnect the stream to its floodplain; (2) removing undesirable woody vegetation (invasive box elder, buckthorn, etc.) from riparian corridors to enable removal of accumulated sediments, reduce competition with desirable plant and grass species, and allow beneficial energy inputs (sunlight) to reach the streams; (3) stabilizing eroding stream banks using vegetation and/or rock; (4) selectively installing overhead and other in-stream cover for trout; (5) installing soil erosion prevention measures; (6) mulching and seeding exposed stream banks (including with native prairie plant species where appropriate and feasible); (7) improving or maintaining stream access roads and stream crossings to reduce erosion; (8) fencing grassy riparian corridors, including in such a way as to facilitate managed grazing, in order to prevent damage from over grazing; (9) placing large logs in northern forested streams to restore cover logs removed a half century or more ago; and (10) in northern forested watersheds with little cold groundwater, planting desirable trees in riparian areas to provide shade for the stream channel and help cool the water. Agricultural area example: Many streams in the agricultural areas of southern and central Minnesota have been negatively impacted by many decades of poor land management practices. The projects in southeast Minnesota used the following approach to address this: Erosion has led to wider, shallower and warmer streams, as well as excessive streamside sediments which regularly erode, covering food production and trout reproduction areas. In many cases shallow rooted invasive trees have taken over the riparian corridors, out competing native vegetation which better secures soils, and reducing energy inputs to the stream ecosystem. To remedy this, a typical enhancement project will involve several steps. First, invasive trees are removed from the riparian zone and steep, eroding banks are graded by machinery to remove excess sediments deposited here from upland areas. Importantly, this reconnects the stream to its floodplain. Since many of these agricultural watersheds still experience periodic severe flooding, select portions of the stream banks are then reinforced with indigenous rock. In lower gradient watersheds, or watersheds where flows are more stable, little or no rock is used. After enhancement work is completed the streams flow faster and become deeper, keeping them cooler and providing natural overhead cover through depth and the scouring of sediments deposited by decades of erosion. Second, overhead cover habitat is created. Bank degradation and the removal of native prairie have dramatically decreased protective overhead cover in the riparian zone. Two methods are used to remedy this situation: increasing the stream’s depth, which alone provides natural cover to trout, and installing overhead cover structures in select stream banks. Wooden structures are often installed into banks in hydraulically suitable locations and reinforced with rock as a way to restore or recreate the undercut banks which had existed before settlement and agricultural land use altered the more stable flows which had gradually created and maintained them. Finally, vegetation is reestablished in the re-graded riparian corridor to further stabilize banks and act as buffer strips to improve water quality. Depending upon the specific site conditions, landowner cooperation, and agricultural use, native prairie grasses may be planted along the stream corridors, although often mixed with fast sprouting annual grains to anchor soils the first year. Taken together, these actions directly enhance physical habitat, and typically increase overall trout abundance, population structure, the number of larger trout, and levels of successful natural reproduction. In addition to the benefits to anglers of increased trout habitat and trout abundance, project benefits extending well downstream include reduced erosion and sedimentation, cooler water temperatures, improved water quality and numerous benefits to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife populations.

We completed all 9 projects originally proposed and three additional. Contracting efficiencies and leveraging of other funding allowed us to add two habitat enhancement projects in southeast Minnesota and another segment on the Sucker River in northeast Minnesota. 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.

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.

As student enrollment has grown, so too has the demand for new programs for our students. Increase the number and depth of early childhood music education offerings, the number of summer camp programs for adults and children, and the number and types of performing opportunities for the ensembles. Success was measured by the number of new courses created (4), the number of students enrolled in these courses (39), and retention from one semester to the next (90% of children in the ensembles and Tin Whistle Troupe continued.) Musical progression was also evaluated and one student who started in the beginner ensemble was able to progress to the intermediate ensemble by the second term. All students advanced in the Tin Whistle Troupe program. 2: As the only comprehensive Irish music program in the state, the Center for Irish Music is committed to bringing its music and workshops to people who do not have access to our programs, either from geographical distance or mobility issues. The Center for Irish Music plans to expand its involvement in the Farm on Mathias Celtic Fest in Brainerd by bringing a larger performing ensemble and offering more music workshops. It also is bringing music to nursing homes, hospitals and community events across the Twin Cities. The success of outcome two was measured by the number of public performances (20), the number of students participating in these performances (53 age range from 5 to 70+), and the number of audience members reached (estimated at over 250,000 including the large festival performances and TV broadcast audience.)","The Center for Irish Music achieved this outcome by adding two performance ensemble classes in 2013, developing its Tin Whistle Troupe program, and entering into a visiting artist residency with famed accordion player Paddy O'Brien. One new ensemble was a beginner course for children under twelve, and one was an intermediate ensemble for children and youth. Both ensembles are feeder courses for the more advanced youth ensemble. The Tin Whistle Troupe program for 6-9 year-olds, developed by Executive Director Norah Rendell, doubled in size in less than a year. The students progressed from level one to level three. The visiting artist residency with Paddy O'Brien allowed both youth and adult to study and learn tunes over a nine-month period. The residency culminated in a public performance at the Minnesota Irish Music Weekend in June 2013, and a larger public concert in Fall 2013. The tunes learned are also entering into the larger repertoire of the performance ensembles so the public can enjoy these largely unknown tunes. 2: The Center for Irish Music is committed to sharing its music with the community, especially in areas with limited access to Irish music. The outcome was focused on bringing Center for Irish music programming to the Farm on Mathias Celtic Festival in Brainerd, and music to hospitals, nursing homes and community events. This outcome was achieved as the Center for Irish Music participated in the Farm on Mathias Celtic Festival in July 2013, sending one instructor Todd Menton, and several students to perform. The Center also performed at several large community events including: the Rochester Irish Music Festival, the Irish Fair of Minnesota, Art Under Glass, at the Como Zoo Conservancy, 2013 Step Up for Down's Syndrome Walk at Como Park, and Grand Old Day. Center for Irish Music ensembles also performed at four nursing homes/senior housing centers in 2013. A large broadcast audience was reached in two performances by the Advanced Youth Ensemble.

In addition to anecdotal feedback from audiences, our board and staff use concert audience surveys, feedback forms from pupils and teachers at schools and other outreach events, attendance, and financial statements for evaluation of programs.","The Chamber Music Society presented professional chamber music ensembles and provided opportunities to experience and learn about chamber music performed by top-quality professional musicians at six formal concerts each season and twenty-four outreach programs last season. Outreach participants at several schools and audience members at two family concerts learned about the instruments, repertoire, composers, related history, and the musicians. Workshops and masterclasses provided group learning opportunities for advanced students and adult amateur musicians. Whitney Senior Center events provided older adults with opportunities to hear and enjoy shorter and more informal chamber music concerts. Audience and participant surveys and face-to-face feedback were obtained during the events. Fostering understanding and appreciation of chamber music has been part of our mission for many years. School performances and Family Concerts, mentioned above, are part of this. They always include introductions and explanations suitable to the age of the listeners, as well as opportunities for audience members to ask questions. Additionally, we always invite performers to speak to the concert audience, and many do. We find this to have more of an impact than written program notes, although we include those also when appropriate. Commentary during concerts also serves to create a relationship between performers and audience members, which enhances the total experience. The activities that were primarily geared toward enhancing the understanding and appreciation of chamber music included the events at Whitney Senior Center and the masterclasses and sessions involving coaching. However, all of our outreach activities inherently have an educational component.

","Achieved some of the proposed outcomes",,,,,,,4.34,"Wilderness Inquiry",,"Wilderness Inquiry will expand its work to provide a continuum of outdoor experiences for youth, adults, and families in communities across Minnesota by: - Connecting 11,000 individuals of all ages, backgrounds, identities, and abilities to Minnesota's outdoor heritage through a progression of outdoor adventures including day programs, virtual learning sessions, and overnight camping adventures. By hosting hybrid programs available to Minnesotans across the state, we reduce barriers to participation, reach a diverse array of participants, and support students with diverse learning styles. Virtual programs strengthen our in-person experiences by allowing us to engage students and families before and after the on-water Canoemobile program, leading to deeper engagement and impact. - Providing standards-based educational content through hands-on activities that engage students with Minnesota history and culture. Program content, developed in collaboration with the National Park Service and other partners, is tied to Minnesota state standards to seamlessly integrate into school curriculum. In addition, even virtual sessions include a hands-on kit with materials and tools for active participation and experiential engagement. - Providing training and career pathway opportunities that tie to outdoor careers and Minnesota's outdoor heritage. - Supporting the physical, mental, and social-emotional wellbeing of Minnesota youth, adults, and families through immersive outdoor experiences. Specific project activities teach Minnesota history and culture while building skills in camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking, fire building, species identification, animal adaptations, and orienteering. By providing virtual instruction as well, WI delivers hands-on educational experiences in the outdoors that tie to classroom learning and enhance the distance-learning experience. For many participants, WI provides a foundation that offers the first immersive experience in the outdoors. Our youth programs have been shown to increase student confidence, improve persistence and grit, inspire interest in outdoors-related careers, and cultivate a stewardship ethic. Our programs are designed to break down barriers to access for individuals and communities that are historically underrepresented in outdoor spaces and activities - specifically, individuals who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+, those who experience financial inequity, and individuals with disabilities.

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

Additional technical guidance was provided for land acquisitions, program planning and management, accounting and grantee payment.

Grants must not be made for activities required to fulfill the duties of owners of lands subject to conservation easements. Grants must not be made from the appropriation in this paragraph for projects that have a total project cost exceeding $575,000. Of the total appropriation, $445,000 may be spent for personnel costs and other direct and necessary administrative costs. Grantees may acquire land or interests in land. Easements must be permanent. Grants may not be used to establish easement stewardship accounts. Land acquired in fee must be open to hunting and fishing during the open season unless otherwise provided by law. The program must require a match of at least ten percent from nonstate sources for all grants. The match may be cash or in-kind resources. For grant applications of $25,000 or less, the commissioner must provide a separate, simplified application process. Subject to Minnesota statutes, the commissioner of natural resources must, when evaluating projects of equal value, give priority to organizations that have a history of receiving, or a charter to receive, private contributions for local conservation or habitat projects. If acquiring land in fee or a conservation easement, priority must be given to projects associated with or within one mile of 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; or 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 permanent covenant ensuring perpetual maintenance and protection of restored and enhanced habitat, by a conservation easement or public ownership or in public waters as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.005, subdivision 15. Priority must be given to restoration and enhancement projects on public lands. Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 13, applies to grants awarded under this paragraph. This appropriation is available until June 30, 2023. 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 must provide notice of the grant program in the summary of game and fish law prepared under Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.051, subdivision 2.",,"All CPL project requests include a Natural Heritage Database Review, which addresses wildlife species of greatest conservation need, the MN County Biological Survey data, and/or rare, threatened and endangered species inventories. These results are incorporated into the requests, along with mitigation measures if needed. Habitat value/species benefits is also one of the evaluation criterion used to score applications. When the projects are reviewed by the technical habitat experts, wildlife species of greatest conservation need, targeted species, and threatened/endangered species are all discussed, and add to the overall habitat quality and urgency of applications which is reflected in the scoring and funding recommendations.","A total of 33,353 acres were affected: 11,043 Restored, 300 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 22,010 in Enhance.",1699800,Grantees,8473600,22000,,2.0,DNR,"State Government","As of 11/1/2023, the CPL program has provided over 970 grants totaling $115 million to over 250 different grantee organizations, improving or protecting over 577,000 acres of habitat. Demand for CPL grants has continued to grow each year as new applicants hear about the program and successful grantees return. In ML 2019 there were 99 grants awarded- 15 metro grants, 29 traditional grants, and 55 Expedited Conservation Partners grants. Through these 99 grants, over 34,000 acres were restored, enhanced, or protected. Over $10.6M was awarded to organizations for projects.","The CPL program fulfills MS 97a.056 Subd. 3a, directing LSOHC to establish a conservation partner's grant program encouraging/supporting local conservation efforts. $10,315,000 was available for grants. Of this amount, up to $3,000,000 was used for projects in the 7-county metro area and in cities with a population of 50,000 people or greater. This is a stand-alone program, but depends on support/technical advice from public land managers and habitat and acquisition specialists. Grant activities included enhancement, restoration and protection of forests, wetlands, prairies, and habitat for fish, game, or wildlife in Minnesota. A 10% match from non-state sources is required for all grants, and may be in-kind or cash. Applicants described the project, location, activity, habitat, benefit, etc. For acquisition projects, applicants described the parcel selection process. CPL Staff developed an RFP incorporating LSOHC priorities. Staff worked with applicants to submit applications, oversaw grant selection, prepared/executed grant documents, reviewed expenditures, approved payments/reports, monitored work, and assisted recipients with close-out. Staff complies with Office of Grants Management policies. The CPL program has 3 annual grant cycles- Traditional, Metro, and Expedited Conservation Projects (ECP). The Traditional and Metro cycles had two grant rounds with the first beginning August 2018. Projects under $25,000 will have a simplified application. The ECP grant cycle had four rounds of funding. CPL staff reviewed applications for completeness. Technical Review Committees, comprised of habitat experts across the state and approved by the DNR Commissioner, reviewed and scored Traditional and Metro applications based on evaluation criteria (see attached). The DNR Directors of Fish and Wildlife, Eco Waters, and Forestry reviewed the committee's recommendations and provide a final ranking to the Commissioner. Funding decisions were made by the Commissioner's office. ECP grants are reviewed by CPL staff and DNR habitat experts using established criteria. The Director of Fish and Wildlife made final funding decisions for ECP. Grantees were required to submit annual and final accomplishment reports. Grantees were paid on a reimbursement or ""for services rendered"" basis, meaning payment is made to the grantee after work has been performed. Proof that the vendor was paid must be submitted to staff before additional payments are made. Funds were advanced for acquisitions to accommodate cash flow needs.",,2019-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Kathy,Varble,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Road Box 20","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5216,kathy.varble@state.mn.us,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carlton, Carver, Cass, Chisago, Clay, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Goodhue, Grant, Hennepin, Houston, Hubbard, Isanti, Itasca, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Koochiching, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Le Sueur, Marshall, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pine, Polk, Pope, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, St. Louis, Washington, Wilkin, Yellow Medicine","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/conservation-partners-legacy-grant-program-phase-11-statewide-and-metro-habitat,,,,

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

This appropriation represents a continuing effort to complete the county geologic atlases throughout the state. This appropriation is available until June 30, 2013, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,92485,,,,,,"Minnesota Geological Survey","Public College/University","PROJECT OVERVIEWThe Minnesota County Geologic Atlas program is an ongoing effort begun in 1982 that is being conducted jointly by the University of Minnesota's Minnesota Geological Survey and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The program collects information on the geology of Minnesota to create maps and reports depicting the characteristics and pollution sensitivity of Minnesota's ground-water resources. County Geologic Atlases are used in planning and environmental protection efforts at all levels of government and by businesses to ensure sound planning, management, and protection of land and water resources. The Minnesota Geological Survey will use this appropriation to:Initiate geologic atlases for Sherburne and Morrison counties;Continue work on county geologic atlases already in progress;Make collected data available in a digital format;Investigate the hydrologic properties of the St. Lawrence Formation in southeastern Minnesota;Evaluate methods for investigating groundwater flow pathways in urban areas, using Rochester, MN as the test area.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The Minnesota Geological Survey maps sediment and rock because these materials control where water can enter the subsurface (recharge), where and how much water can reside in the ground (aquifers), where the water re-emerges (discharge), and at what rates this movement occurs. This information is essential to managing the quality of our water and the quantity that can be sustainably pumped. This project completed geologic atlases for Sherburne and Morrison counties, and contributed to atlas work in Anoka, Wright, Hennepin, Hubbard, Becker, Wadena, St. Louis, and Lake counties. Information about the geology is gleaned from the records of domestic wells, and from drilling conducted for this project. In Sherburne County we used 14,450 wells and 5 cores and in Morrison County we used 6,400 wells and 21 cores, and soil borings and geophysical surveys. From the data we created maps of the geology immediately beneath the soil; the aquifers within the glacial sediment; and the shape, elevation, and rock types of the bedrock surface. These maps and data support monitoring, wellhead protection, water appropriation, clean-ups, and supply management. The deep bedrock aquifers in southeastern Minnesota are in most places not yet significantly impacted by pollution and presumed to be protected by low permeability overlying geologic layers, called aquitards. Even though aquitards are an important control on recharge and contaminant transport, their hydrologic characteristics are poorly understood compared to aquifers. This subproject investigated the St. Lawrence Formation through existing data, new data on fracturing, and by constructing an instrumented borehole to test the water-bearing characteristics. We learned that the St. Lawrence acts to retard vertical water flow where it is buried by more than 50 feet of overlying rock, but fails to do so in more shallow settings. Parts of the formation convey water horizontally in either setting. A third subproject traced ground water movement in the Rochester area by examining the chemistry of the water. We learned that flow patterns are changing, apparently in response to high capacity pumping. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION County geologic atlases are distributed in print and digital formats. The digital format allows us to include all the data that support the maps and the ability to change the maps or create new ones. The products are available from the MGS web site (http://www.mngs.umn.edu/index.html). We also conduct post-project workshops in the map area to familiarize users with the products and their applications. The products are also distributed to libraries. Products of the Morrison County Geologic Atlas have been applied to finding new municipal water supplies in Little Falls and Motley. We expect both these atlases will be applied to understanding the widespread distribution of nitrate in ground water in this part of Minnesota. Additional funding from DNR has allowed us to continue to collect data from the instrumented borehole constructed for the St. Lawrence subproject. This additional data will be combined with what we have in a formal MGS Report of Investigations. The Rochester study is likely to improve computer simulations of water flow and influence decisions about the distribution and pumping rates of the wells that supply the city.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Dale,Setterholm,"Minnesota Geological Survey","2642 University Ave W","St. Paul",MN,55114-1057,"(612) 627-4780 x2",sette001@umn.edu,"Analysis/Interpretation, Digitization/Online Information Access, Inventory, Mapping, Research","University of Minnesota ",,"Isanti, Olmsted, Sherburne, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/county-geologic-atlases-and-related-hydrogeologic-research,,,,

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

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) will complete six fish passage projects to restore habitat connectivity for fish and other aquatic life, and restore reaches of four different rivers, creating 24.4 miles of diverse aquatic habitat. Though the actual footprint of fish passage projects is relatively small, these projects will reconnect over 27,000 acres of lake and river habitat. Stream projects were selected from a statewide list, prioritized by factors such as ecological benefit, scale of impact, urgency of completion, and local support.","The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) annually updates a statewide list of stream habitat projects. Project submittals come both from MNDNR staff and from partner organizations. Projects are prioritized based on scale-of-impact, urgency, local support, and critical habitat for rare species. Based on this list, MNDNR and our partners are proposing six fish passage projects and four channel restorations, leveraging a confirmed $3,225,000 and an additional $980,000 requested from other sources. Access to diverse habitats is critical for fish and other aquatic organisms to complete various life stages. The habitats they use at different life stages may all vary widely. These habitats can be fairly unique, such as high-gradient riffles favored by many spawning fish, and may be miles apart. When dams or other obstructions prevent aquatic life from reaching ideal habitat, they are forced to use less optimal locations that can reduce their success. In some cases this leads to the complete loss of sensitive species upstream of a barrier. Research by MNDNR River Ecologist Luther Aadland found that on average, species richness declined by 37% upstream of near complete barriers to fish passage. Subsequent removal of 11 barriers in this study resulted in upstream recolonization of an average of 66% of the species that had been absent. Modifying or removing the barriers through our two proposed fish passage projects would have a total footprint of 6 acres, but create upstream access to over 27,000 acres of lake and river habitat. This will benefit fish such as Walleye and Brook Trout present in these rivers, as well as five mussel species classified as threatened or special concern. Restoring connectivity also expands fishing opportunities by acting as a conduit for recolonization should something catastrophic such as drought happen in one portion of a watershed. Streams naturally form habitat through the meandering of the river. Deeper, slower habitat is created by scour into the bed of the river around the outside of bends, while faster water and a rockier bottom is found in the straight sections in between. Wood, overhanging vegetation, and boulders serve as cover and current breaks for fish. In degraded sections of river, these natural processes are disrupted. Some reaches have been artificially straightened, preventing the meandering that forms diverse habitat. In other places, streams have become surrounded by tall banks that prevent high flows from spilling out onto a floodplain. When floods are trapped within the stream channel, the river erodes the banks. This not only mobilizes tons of sediment that degrades downstream habitat, but results in a wide, shallow channel during low-flow periods that is avoided by adult fish. Channel restoration projects will utilize reference locations with high-quality habitat to improve habitat. Working with partners, we will restore 24.4 miles of habitat on four streams.",,2021-07-01,2025-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Jamison,Wendel,"Minnesota DNR","500 Lafayette Road ","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5205",jamison.wendel@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Carver, Clay, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pine, St. Louis","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-aquatic-habitat-restoration-and-enhancement-phase-4,,,,

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

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

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) will complete two fish passage projects to restore habitat connectivity for fish and other aquatic life, and restore reaches of two different rivers, creating 1.8 miles of diverse aquatic habitat. Though the actual footprint of fish passage projects is relatively small, these projects will reconnect over 600 acres of lake and river habitat. Stream projects were selected from a statewide list, prioritized by factors such as ecological benefit, scale of impact, urgency of completion, and local support.","The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) annually updates a statewide list of stream habitat projects. Project submittals come both from MNDNR staff and from partner organizations. Projects are prioritized based on scale-of-impact, urgency, local support, and critical habitat for rare species. Based on this list, MNDNR and our partners are proposing two fish passage projects and two channel restorations, leveraging a confirmed $463,400 and an additional $1,000,000 requested from other sources. Access to diverse habitats is critical for fish and other aquatic organisms to complete various life stages. The habitats they use at different life stages may all vary widely. These habitats can be fairly unique, such as high-gradient riffles favored by many spawning fish, and may be miles apart. When dams or other obstructions prevent aquatic life from reaching ideal habitat, they are forced to use less optimal locations that can reduce their success. In some cases this leads to the complete loss of sensitive species upstream of a barrier. Modifying or removing the barriers through our two proposed fish passage projects would have a total footprint of 2 acres, but create upstream access to over 600 acres of lake and river habitat. This will benefit fish such as walleye and brook trout present in these rivers, as well as five mussel species classified as threatened or special concern. Streams naturally form habitat through the meandering of the river. Deeper, slower habitat is created by scour into the bed of the river around the outside of bends, while faster water and a rockier bottom is found in the straight sections in between. Wood, overhanging vegetation, and boulders serve as cover and current breaks for fish. In degraded sections of river, these natural processes are disrupted. Some reaches have been artificially straightened, preventing the meandering that forms diverse habitat. In other places, streams have become surrounded by tall banks that prevent high flows from spilling out onto a floodplain. When floods are trapped within the stream channel, the river erodes the banks. This not only mobilizes tons of sediment that degrades downstream habitat, but results in a wide, shallow channel during low-flow periods that is avoided by adult fish. Channel restoration projects will utilize reference locations with high-quality habitat to improve habitat. Working with partners, we will restore 1.8 miles of habitat on two streams. Department resources for stream habitat work falls far short of the need; funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) has been critical to an acceleration of stream habitat work by the department and partners such as Trout Unlimited, as well as smaller groups such as lake associations. We propose to continue funding for one stream habitat coordinator and two stream habitat specialist positions to enable this increased effort.

However, our forests face increasing stress from invasive species, climate change, lack of management, conversion, and fragmentation. If we are to address these stressors, and sustain the health of forest habitats on state lands which DNR is entrusted to steward for Minnesota citizens and the multiple benefits they provide, we must begin now to support management activities that are above and beyond normal timber harvest.

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

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

We were successful in completing our proposed projects, and in meeting may of the goals included in our accomplishment plan. The different projects accomplished from this appropriation are summarized below.Habitat protection was accomplished using a mixture of fee title and easement acquisition. For easements we purchased 11 parcels on trout streams located on either the North Shore or in southeast Minnesota. Easements will protect 5.3 miles of stream and 94 acres of habitat. Fee title acquisition protected 5 parcels of lakeshore, including one parcel that was purchased with funds from both ML2011 and ML2012 funding. Acreage and shoreline feet protected have been pro-rated between appropriations based in their respective contribution to the purchase price. A total of 2.6 miles of shoreline and 58 acres of habitat are protected by these parcels. The amount of habitat protected in easement and fee title falls short of our proposed outcomes for this appropriation. Because land values vary across the state it is difficult to anticipate how much habitat can be protected for a given amount of money. It is also hard to anticipate the amount of landowner donation we will receive. We were successful in leveraging an additional $1.3 million toward protection work from a mixture of sources, including landowner donation.The Mille Lacs Lake shoreland enhancement involved the removal of breakwall from a former marina that is now a DNR Aquatic Management Area. Breakwall was removed along 455 feet of shore and returned to a natural shoreline, with native riparian vegetation planted in all areas. This habitat will benefit fish species using the nearshore area of the lake as well as other wildlife such as birds, reptiles and amphibians that use a mixture of nearshore and riparian habitat.The Kingsbury Creek stream restoration project removed masonry walls that had been built along the banks through that reach and were limiting habitat. The project also included constructed a new stream channel through a reach that had previously been impounded by a dam. The stream channel was resized to appropriate dimensions, and habitat structures such as toe wood, rootwads, and cross vanes were installed. The project will benefit resident brook trout as well as steelhead that spawn and rear juveniles in Kingsbury Creek.A fish passage project at Shell Lake converted a dam into an arch-rapids, allowing fish to migrate in and out of the lake freely. Fish passage is especially important at Shell Lake, which is subject to occasional partial winter-kills. Recolonization from the Shell River will help the lake to recover from these events. This project was added to our original accomplishment plan and completed using surplus funds realized due to cost savings from other projects.A second stream habitat enhancement project was done using surplus funds. This one was located on the Pomme de Terre River, where a riffle and adjoining streambank was enhanced to provide better habitat in a former reservoir where the dam had been removed several years previous.Backwater habitat on the Mississippi River within Weaver Bottoms was enhanced to create critical backwater habitat that had been lost due to decades of sedimentation. The deepwater habitat is critical for many fish species such as bluegill and black crappie that over-winter there. The nine acres of newly enhanced habitat has shown high use by Mississippi River fish, and anglers have taken notice and are using the area as well.This appropriation funded a portion (along with the DNR's ML2013 Aquatic Habitat) of the restoration of the Middle Fork of the Zumbro River through a former impoundment known as Lake Shady. The dam had washed out in a 2011 flood, leaving behind an eroding mud flat that threatened to harm downstream reaches as it eroded, and contained poor habitat in the channels that had cut through the mud. The former dam site's grade was stabilized by creating a rapids of stable rock material, and within the former reservoir new stream channels with appropriate dimensions were constructed. Habitat in the new channels was restored to include woody material as well as rocky riffles. Re-vegetation of the surrounding reservoir sediments with native plant species will provide quality riparian and upland habitat as well. The project was completed in partnership with Olmsted County ($125,736), the city of Oronco ($83,824) and DNR Dam Safety bonding funds ($1,000,000) all contributing funding. An additional $236,540 of in-kind staff time was contributed by Olmsted County. In addition to the 147 acres of habitat restored, the project opened up access to 119 miles of stream.Stream habitat work for this appropriation and other LSOH-funded projects from other appropriations was aided by funding for a stream restoration coordinator and intern. These positions aided in survey work, design, permitting, contracting, and coordination with project partners on these complex projects.

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

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

The structural diversity all those plant species create in the habitat allow every species to find an ideal niche in the grass as well as accomodates different life history stages of wildlife.","A total of 44,506 acres were affected: 2,081 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 42,425 in Enhance.",,,3762900,172000,,7.11,DNR,"State Government","We restored 2,081 acres of grassland and enhanced 42,425 acres of grassland for a total of 44,506 acres of wildlife habitat across 329 sites with these funds.","We select projects using a number of criteria and reviews to make sure the DNR was spending these funds in the best and most productive ways. We can summarize our results in the following table. Project Type Acres # Sites Grassland Restoration 2,085 63 Prescribed Fire 36,896 159 Woody removal 4,461 60 interseed / diversity enhancement 500 27 Conservation grazing infrastructure 120 1 Prescribed Browsing-woody control (goats) 299 9 Herbaceous Invasive Control 145 10 Sum 44,506 329 This appropriation involved the Roving Crews. These Crews allow the DNR to be very flexible. While they have a list of projects to work on, they can also respond fairly quickly if there's an enhancement opportunity shows up. For instance, a short dry period in a part of the state may allow them to conduct a late summer prescribed fire which was not in any of the original work plans. Roving Crews have begun experimenting with different burn seasons. Typically, we burn in the spring before the nesting season. However, this can stimulate the warm-season grasses and begin to crowd out forbs, lowering plant diversity. Burning in the late summer, after birds have fledged but with enough time for some late summer regrowth, has shown to increase both plant diversity as well as structural diversity in the habitat. Just as important, it can knock back the dominant grasses such as big bluestem and Indian grass just enough for forbs to express themselves the following year. Although 44,506 acres appears to be a large number, we feel the actual acres benefitted may be much larger. We know nest predation of grassland birds is higher near woody vegetation and some birds just won't nest near woody veg. By removing trees, we are impacting both the footprint of where those trees were but also the surrounding grassland, up to a half mile from the project, where nest success should now be higher. We installed grazing infrastructure on one site and used goats to browse undesirable and invasive woody plants. This will accomplish two goals. FIrst, we will get good habitat work on our public lands. Second, its a way to further develop a working lands approach to land management and incorporate conservation work into the state's agricultural economy. I have personally visited a number of public lands grazing sites in western Minnesota and have always been impressed with what I've seen. Although grazing is a summer activity, I've flushed a number of birds, both pheasants and songbirds, from these areas in the fall. Often the biggest benefit to grazing comes in the first couple years after grazing as the habitat is regrowing. Although there is still much to learn, we have learned a lot in recent years about restoration techniques. We still use several methods for restoring prairie and there's probably no one perfect way of doing it. It's very clear to someone when they are walking through a recent restoration and an older restoration. Even if they can't identify every plant, the diversity people see is striking. The DNR has traditionally focused on game species such as pheasants. However, there is more and more interest in pollinators and biodiversity. Fortunately, just about every study out there shows that management and restoration for pollinators and songbirds often creates the best habitat for game species. Diverse, healthy, productive habitat is good for a wide range of species. These projects can also increase the amount of carbon absorbed and stored by the plants and soils on these sites. As we continue to use these funds, costs for projects will probably increase. In the early years of these funds, we completed a number of simpler or easier projects, the low-hanging fruit. Now we are left with the larger and more challenging projects. While they are good habitat projects, they will probably increase in costs over time. In our budget table, we prorated our budget for individual projects by the acres accomplished. Staff funding was combined into one value.

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

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

We continue to lose about 200 acres of native prairie per year. While Minnesota does have acres enrolled in CRP as well as state programs such as RIM and CREP, there is still very little grassland left in many counties of the state. As such, we need to make sure the remaining grasslands, especially those open to public recreation are as diverse and productive as possible. These lands provide wildlife habitat as well as Wildlife and pollinator populations are a fraction of what they were even a decade ago. Water quality, especially nitrate contamination, is a human health and wildlife issue. Restoring and enhancing grasslands are one of the most effective ways to improve all of these issues. Grasslands and embedded wetlands are also very good at sequestering and storing carbon, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. Grassland and wetland restoration and enhancement, carefully guided by planning, is one of the best ways to address many of these issues. This programmatic request seeks funding to enhance grassland habitat on permanently protected grasslands and prairies, most of which are open to public hunting.

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

We continue to lose about 200 acres of native prairie per year. While Minnesota does have acres enrolled in CRP as well as state programs such as RIM and CREP, there is still very little grassland left in many counties of the state. As such, we need to make sure the remaining grasslands, especially those open to public recreation are as diverse and productive as possible.

Wildlife and pollinator populations are a fraction of what they were even a decade ago. Water quality, especially nitrate contamination, is a human health and wildlife issue. Restoring and enhancing grasslands are one of the most effective ways to improve all of these issues. Grasslands and embedded wetlands are also very good at sequestering and storing carbon, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. Grassland and wetland restoration and enhancement, carefully guided by planning, is one of the best ways to address many of these issues.

The footprint of fish passage projects is small, but the Bucks Mill project will reconnect 6,200 acres of lake and river habitat. Stream projects were selected from a statewide list, prioritized by factors such as ecological benefit, scale of impact, urgency of completion, and local support.","The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) annually updates a statewide list of stream habitat projects. Submissions come both from MNDNR staff and from partner organizations. Projects are prioritized based on scale-of-impact, urgency, local support, and critical habitat for rare species. Based on this list, MNDNR and our partners are proposing to complete one fish passage project and one channel restoration, leveraging $1,615,100. Access to different habitats is critical for fish and other aquatic organisms to complete various life stages. The habitats they use to spawn, live as juveniles, over-winter, and feed as adults may all be different. These habitats can be fairly unique, such as high-gradient riffles favored by many spawning fish and may be miles apart. When dams or other obstructions prevent aquatic life from reaching ideal habitat, they are forced to use less optimal locations that can reduce their success. In some cases, this leads to the complete loss of sensitive species upstream of a barrier. Modifying or removing the barriers through our proposed fish passage project would have a footprint of one acre but create upstream access to 6,200 acres of lake and river habitat. This will benefit fish such as Walleye, Northern Pike, and Lake Sturgeon present in these rivers, as well as five mussel species classified as threatened or special concern. Streams naturally form habitat through the meandering of the river. Deeper, slower habitat is created by scour into the bed of the river around the outside of bends, while faster water and a rockier bottom is found in the straight sections in between. Wood, overhanging vegetation, and boulders serve as cover and current breaks for fish. In degraded sections of river, these natural processes are disrupted. Some reaches have been artificially straightened, preventing the meandering that forms diverse habitat. In other places, streams have become surrounded by tall banks that prevent high flows from spilling out onto a floodplain. When floods are trapped within the stream channel, the river erodes the banks. This not only mobilizes tons of sediment that degrades downstream habitat, but results in a wide, shallow channel during low-flow periods that is avoided by adult fish. Working with partners, we will restore over 9 miles of habitat in two streams. These restored reaches also will connect reaches of quality habitat. Department resources for stream habitat work falls short of the need; funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund has been critical to an acceleration of stream habitat work by the department and partners.

The Prairie Plan and Wildlife Action Plan will guide our efforts to ensure we are operating in a strategic and targeted manner. This proposal will enhance and restore grasslands on 2,856 acres that are permanently protected using prescribed fire, tree removal, high-diversity seedings, and similar practices. Most lands enhanced with these funds are public and open to hunting.","In many farmland counties less than five percent of the area is in public wildlife lands, often much less. We continue to lose about 200 acres of native prairie per year. While Minnesota does have acres enrolled in CRP as well as state programs such as RIM and CREP, there is still very little grassland left in many counties of the state. As such, we need to make sure the remaining grasslands, especially those open to public recreation are as diverse and productive as possible. These lands provide wildlife habitat as well as pollinator habitat and ecosystem services such as floodwater capture and groundwater recharge. Wildlife and pollinator populations are a fraction of what they were even a couple decades ago. Water quality, especially nitrate contamination, is a human health and wildlife issue. Restoring and enhancing grasslands are one of the most effective ways to improve all of these issues. Grasslands and embedded wetlands are also very good at sequestering and storing carbon, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. These efforts can be an important part of the state's Climate Action Framework. Grassland and wetland restoration and enhancement, carefully guided by planning, is one of the best ways to address many of these issues. This programmatic request seeks funding to enhance grassland habitat on permanently protected grasslands and prairies, most of which are open to public hunting. Without periodic management to simulate historical disturbance patterns, grassland lose diversity and productivity. Invasive species may increase and woody vegetation will encroach into the grasslands, changing their very character and the species that inhabit the area. The activities listed in this proposal will use BMPs for grassland enhancement and diverse local ecotype seed mixes for restoration.

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

The language also included two years of funding for the USFWS's Prescribed Fire program. This was our largest grassland request to date and also the appropriation most affected by Covid. We were unable to hire the west-central Roving Crew in a timely fashion due to state hiring freezes. At the same time, the USFWS received IRA funding and returned their second year of funding. While the DNR was able to put most of these dollars to good use, the acre to dollar ratio for fire is usually much higher compared to hiring contractors for tree removal or similar other enhancements. To use up some of the unspent Roving Crew funds, we moved southeast and southwest Roving Crews to this appropriation for one year. While all of this was happening, we were also trying to transition all the Roving Crews to the stand-alone appropriations. Given those issues, we did not reach our anticipated acreage accomplishment. That said, we still managed to enhance 48,431 acres of grassland.

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

To address this risk in the region, there needs to be an increase in the use of nitrogen best management practices and agronomic rates of nitrogen need to be fine-tuned to balance production with environmental degradation. In addition, potential point sources of nutrient contamination in groundwater need to be addressed wherever possible. This project will have three components that will address these needs. 1) This project will fund incentive payments for the use of nitrogen Best Management Practices (BMPs). Use of the University of Minnesota's BMPs for nitrogen fertilizer in the region is known to reduce the risk of nitrogen escaping the soils and into the drinking water supply of the area. Incentive payments will be given to promote the adoption of the University of Minnesota nitrogen rates to meet crop needs and for the use of split nitrogen applications at University of Minnesota rates. 2) This project will fund replicated on-farm nitrogen plots. These plots could be a nitrogen rate, timing, source or placement plot. These advanced plots provide producers with much needed local nitrogen fertilizer information that is connected to soil types and crop uptake needs in Southeastern Minnesota. These plots would be used to support the recommendations from the University of Minnesota and continue to show that the U of MN nitrogen recommended BMPs remain the most profitable for this area of Minnesota. 3) This project will use cost share funding for local well sealing.

Groundwater is used as a primary drinking water supply for all the communities in this region. This project will focus on mitigating high nitrate levels in local drinking water supplies specifically in Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMA) and townships with wells testing over 10 mg/L in nitrate contamination, with the goal of installing 3,000 acres of cover crops. Extensive local well water sampling for nitrates through the MDA's Township Testing Program has levels of nitrate over the drinking water standard in a high number of wells in this area of the state. From the seven counties with completed Township Testing data in this region, a total of 54 townships have 10% or more of the sampled wells testing over 10mg/L of Nitrate. These townships will be targeted through this program to install nitrogen BMPs. Through the MDA's proposed Groundwater Protection Rule these townships will need to voluntarily adopt nitrogen BMPs to avoid regulatory action in the near future. Starting the BMP conversation and education in these areas now should help expedite the adoption of nitrogen BMPs in this portion of the state. This project will provide cost-share funds to landowners in vulnerable groundwater areas for the incorporation of nitrogen-scavenging cover crops in their crop rotation and to provide education related to nitrogen BMPs through field trials and Nutrient Management Plans. An anticipated 100 producers in highly vulnerable areas, will plant 3,000 acres of cover crops resulting in preventing potentially 19,800 lbs. of nitrate from leaching into groundwater.

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. People learned about the library at a place they didn't expect to (the local county fair) and were entertained as well.",2011-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Barbara,Misselt,"East Central Regional Library","244 South Birch Street",Cambridge,MN,55008,"(763) 689-7390",bmisselt@ecrlib.org,"Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Fund Administration, Grants/Contracts, Preservation, Research","Minnesota Department of Education","Nelly Gustafson Bronze Sculpture - ECRL FY 13, OkeeDokeBros - ECRL FY13","Aitkin, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Pine",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/east-central-regional-library-legacy-grant-sfy-2012-sfy-2013,,,,

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. People learned about the library at a place they didn't expect to (the local county fair) and were entertained as well.",2011-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Barbara,Misselt,"East Central Regional Library","244 South Birch Street",Cambridge,MN,55008,"(763) 689-7390",bmisselt@ecrlib.org,"Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Fund Administration, Grants/Contracts, Preservation, Research","Minnesota Department of Education","Nelly Gustafson Bronze Sculpture - ECRL FY 13, OkeeDokeBros - ECRL FY13","Aitkin, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Pine",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/east-central-regional-library-legacy-grant-sfy-2012-sfy-2013,,,,

Being full-time musicians, with several months' worth of live shows cancelled because of the Covid-19 quarantine (so far about 40 shows cancelled), times are very financially difficult for us. We need to be able to pay ourselves so we can keep a roof over our heads, upkeep our instruments and musical equipment, and to keep composing and recording our songs. We would use the money to pay ourselves, to keep creating our music and music videos, and so we can keep sharing our music with as many people from our community as possible, virtually through the internet. The grant money would definitely help sustain our music. Creating music is all that we do. We breathe it and we live it all the time. It's our main focus. We've dedicated our lives completely to the creation of our own original music, trying to complete as much of our best work while we're still alive and able to do so. We believe that you should have confidence that we can execute this project because we have twenty years of experience and musical partnership doing this very thing everyday, and we love doing it. For proof, you can review our extensive track record of completed projects. We'll measure our goals by working on our music everyday, by remaining completely focused on our art, by focusing on quality, by sharing the song and music video we create on every internet medium possible, and by welcoming folks to give us feedback. We'll also ask for feedback from musician friends whose judgment we trust. We'll know if we've been successful by how people react to our new music when we release it.","We addressed the artistic goals proposed in our project by working very hard everyday to write and record a new song and to film a new music video to accompany that song, doing our best to make sure our work is worthy of releasing to the public during these pandemic times. We made the conscious effort to write and release a song that has sweetness to it, because it seems that more sweetness is what the community needs right now. Times are tough, and the toughness could use a little honey. The title of the song we've released is 'Honey in the Shadows'.","Achieved Proposed Outcomes",,,2000,,,,"Jesse F.

The Center for Energy and Environment (CEE), a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization, is using this appropriation to develop and implement innovative residential energy efficiency programs. Programs will be demonstrated in eight cities: Apple Valley, Austin, Duluth, Minneapolis, Owatonna, Park Rapids, Rochester, and St. Paul. Homeowners in these cities will have the opportunity to be trained in low-cost energy conservation strategies and selected homeowners will qualify for customized energy action plans, in-home visits by technicians, and assistance with major upgrades, such as insulation and replacement of heating and air conditioning systems. Additionally the project will provide training for people to work as residential energy efficiency improvement contractors resulting in the creation of new entry level jobs. CEE hopes to significantly reduce energy use in at least 6000 homes by the conclusion of the project and to develop programs that will ultimately benefit many more. Overall Project Outcome and Results The Energy Efficient Cities project was developed to demonstrate innovative residential energy efficiency program delivery to reduce energy use and environmental impact in at least 6,000 homes through a community-wide partnership approach. With strong and crucial support from local gas and electric utilities, city-specific programs were developed in a total of 8 cities: Apple Valley, Austin, Duluth, Minneapolis, Owatonna, Park Rapids, Rochester, and St. Paul. While each city developed a customized approach, each program was designed to provide a ""one-stop shop"" comprehensive whole-house approach that makes taking energy efficiency actions as easy as possible for the homeowner, while maximizing participation and energy savings opportunities. This comprehensive approach involved the following components shared by each program: Community-based marketing strategies to recruit participants to workshops and for training participants to take low-cost energy actions; Home energy visits that include installation of low-cost materials and identify other energy-saving opportunities; Energy usage feedback reports to encourage individual energy-saving actions; Follow-up assistance, including providing cost-share, for completion of major efficiency upgrades including insulation, air sealing and major mechanicals replacement; and Training and quality control for insulation and air sealing contractors.   The project exceeded its original goals for participation, with 8,243 people attending workshops, 6,922 of those households completing a home energy visit, and 1,474 homes completing major energy efficiency upgrades. Over 36 contractors were trained in high performance installation techniques for insulation and air sealing jobs. The upgrades completed under this program generated $4.8 million in work for Minnesota's insulation and heating contractors. The total energy savings from measures installed in these homes will result in an estimated $13.8 million dollars in energy savings for the homeowners over the life of the measures. The programs will be continued in at least 5 of the participating cities. Project Results Use and Dissemination Dissemination of information to homeowners was an integral part of the program. Our outreach activities for the program reached tens of thousands of Minnesotans, resulting in over 7,500 households attending a workshop that was produced by the project. The workshops educated people on basic energy conservation concepts and strategies, such as how a home loses energy, low-cost or no-cost methods for reducing energy, and what the process is for doing major energy efficiency upgrades in your home. The ""Home Energy Resource Minnesota"" website was also designed for education and outreach on energy efficiency issues. In addition, each city program had an on-line presence for dissemination of information about the program. In addition to outreach targeted to homeowners as part of program activities, efforts were made to communicate to utilities, cities and other potential program sponsors of energy efficiency programs the Energy Efficient Cities program results, and increase uptake of similar residential programs. A presentation was given in August 2010 at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy's (ACEEE) Summer Study on Buildings in Pacific Grove, California. Based on interest at that conference, another webinar presentation on the program was given as part of a series sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and attended by over 500 participants. A second webinar presentation was conducted for a national network of local government officials organized by the Institute for Sustainable Communities. A presentation was also conducted for the Clean Energy Teams (CERTs) conference in February 2011. Both Minneapolis's and St. Paul's programs were featured in a national study of retrofit programs by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab entitled ""Driving Demand for Home Energy Improvements."" As a result of the initial program success, programs in Minneapolis, Duluth, Owatonna, Rochester and Austin will continue beyond the grant period, funded by utilities and other sources. Finally, a report was completed to document the project and communicate lessons learned to utilities and other potential program sponsors.

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

In addition to increased fish and wildlife populations, other outcomes include increased opportunities for anglers and wildlife enthusiasts to interact with high quality ecosystems close to home.","The popularity of trout fishing in southeast MN and the Metro area continues to soar. Anglers applaud our recent habitat projects but want to see many more undertaken. Badly degraded habitat on those trout streams that are most accessible to the public severely limits their productivity and public enjoyment. Minnesota Trout Unlimited (""MNTU"") will directly enhance or restore degraded habitat on priority streams with existing protections under the Aquatic Management Area system or other public ownership. We will also extend the work of the conservation corps, drawn from urban youth, to restore healthy prairie, wetland and forest vegetation (i.e., habitat) on the larger parcels surrounding Metro trout streams. We propose to restore or enhance habitat in and along these public waters (in these counties): 1. Eagle Creek (Scott); 2. Vermillion River (Dakota); 3. Little Cannon River (Goodhue); 4. Spring Creek (Wabasha)*; 5. South Branch Root River (Fillmore); 6. Crooked Creek* (Houston); 7. Garvin Brook* (Winona); 8. Southeast MN streams (additional enhancements in numerous counties); and 9. Numerous streams (vegetation in numerous counties). Individual project descriptions are provided in an attachment. Work on streams with an asterisk will occur only if the appropriation amount increases or substantial leverage is secured. Goals and scope of work: The goals of projects are to increase the carrying capacity and trout population of the stream, increase angling access and participation, improve water quality, and provide other benefits to aquatic, terrestrial, and avian wildlife. Each project will accomplish one or more of these objectives: (a) increase adult trout abundance, (b) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream, (c) reconnect the stream to its floodplains to reduce negative impacts from severe flooding, (d) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms, (e) increase habitat for invertebrates and non-game species, (f) improve connectivity of habitat along aquatic and riparian (terrestrial) corridors, (g) improve riparian forest health and function, (h) improve angler access and participation, and (i) protect productive trout waters from invasive species. The scope of work and methods utilized vary by project site conditions and are discussed in the individual project descriptions provided in the attachment. How priorities were set: MNTU focuses habitat enhancement and restoration efforts on those watersheds likely to continue to support viable, fishable populations of naturally reproducing trout fifty years and more from now. Work is done only where degraded habitat is a limiting factor for a quality, sustainable fishery. Priority locations are determined through consultations with MNDNR professionals, MNDNR management plans and surveys, other habitat and conservation planning efforts, MNTU members' knowledge of watersheds, and science-based criteria. All things being equal, we consider the potential to draw new anglers outdoors, increase public awareness, engage landowners in conservation, foster partnerships, and increase public support for OHF projects.

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

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

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

The immediate effect will be felt by DoPT and local residents and businesses. However, artists and arts organizations in rural settings across the country have the potential to be affected as the replicable YES! House model is shared widely. 7: ""Minnesota's Arts Sector grows in reach and impact through programs and strategies that improve the health and operations of regional arts organizations."" The community-driven performing arts projects at The YES! House will deliberately engage artists from underrepresented demographics and non-traditional arts audiences, highlighting the viability of arts as drivers of economic, social, and community wellness in rural towns. The immediate effect will be felt by residents and businesses in Granite Falls and nearby towns. However, artists and arts organizations in rural settings across the country have the potential to be affected as the replicable YES! House model is shared widely. From the beginning of our community-engaged design process a year ago, in anticipation of assembling the resource guide for other communities to use, we have been documenting our approach, our collaborations, our successes, and our failures. We track these and other moments of engagement through quantitative, qualitative and participatory evaluation strategies, including photo, video, interviews, story circles, sharebacks, surveys (in person and online) and non-traditional approaches (games, storytelling, poetry, drawings, etc.) at and following each of our public events. Because of these diverse metrics, we have a well-established starting point to which we frequently compare our progress. Once the renovation of The YES! House is complete and our diverse programs are underway, we plan to collect and assess data about their effectiveness under the guidance of Metris Arts, a consulting organization whose mission is to ?improve and measure cultural vitality? and who has extensive experience working in the field of creative placemaking. To establish a baseline for this evaluation, we plan to work with Granite Falls officials to distribute a survey to all town residents in early 2020 to assess their current feelings about their community, including sentiments about the town's overall potential, sense of promise, economic and social viability, and long-term livability, as well as the connectedness residents feel to their neighbors. As our programs mature over the next five years, we will ask the same questions periodically to identify any collective shifts in perception that may have been spurred by our work. With the facility slated to open and by fall 2020, we will have collected our baseline data as well as participant numbers, geographic reach, and representative demographics by mid-2021. Data about adoption / adaptation, implementation, and effects of this resource in other communities will be collected in the years to come, to establish the applicability and effectiveness of our community-engaged creative design process in other contexts.","We were able to purchase all the necessary equipment for the performance venue, and we look forward to utilizing the equipment when we are able to complete the build-out of the space (delayed due to COVID-19, but still on track for completion.)

Created a new and exciting look and branding message for RiverSong with the new backdrop that is visually very appealing. Volunteers thought it was so much easier to put up and take down, gave more room/easier access to the stage, and was easier to store. We updated our electrical systems for our food vendors. We were able to add a vendor (adding to income) and make the area more efficient, with shorter lines.","Achieved proposed outcomes",856,"Other,local or private",6310,,"Richie Kuttner, Carol Stark, Katy Hiltner, Betsy Price, Amber Erickson, Josh Campbell, Ronny Wilson, Angie Kuttner, Sue Ann Gabrelcik, Valerie Mackenthun, Pat Mayy",0.00,"RiverSong Music Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Equipment and Facilities Improvement",,"RiverSong Music Festival.",2019-04-15,2019-11-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Betsy,Price,"RiverSong Music Festival","PO Box 667",Hutchinson,MN,55350,"(320) 587-7278",betsyprice446@yahoo.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"McLeod, Meeker, Sibley, Wright, Nicollet, Kandiyohi, Redwood, Stearns, Anoka, Ramsey, Hennepin, Washington, Scott, Dakota, Le Sueur, Renville, Cass, Cass, Todd, Douglas, Pope, Swift, Chippewa, Carver, Scott, Dakota, St. Louis, Wadena, Pine, Chisago",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/equipment-and-facilities-improvement-5,"Luanne Fondell: arts administration; JoAnne Fraunfelder: arts administration; Maureen Keimig: theater; Brett Lehman: music, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council board; Paula Nemes: theater, music; Michele Knife Sterner: theater, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council board; Louella Voigt: arts administration; Tom Wirt: visual art, arts administration.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Anna Johanssen: fiber artist, art teacher, Remick Gallery board, president of Windom Women’s Investment group, treasurer of Cottonwood County Animal Rescue, officer of Cotton Quilters; Kristen Kuipers: musician, private lesson and K-12 classroom music instructor, theater, writing, volunteer with Jackson Center for the Arts; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Michele Knife Sterner: theater actor, Southwest Minnesota State University Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O’Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Scott Wessels: theater actor, director, writing, media, communications, board member for Green Earth Players; Brett Lehman: musician, social worker, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.","Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, Nicole DeBoer (507) 537-1471",1

The proposed LCD projector and larger screen will give us more opportunities to expose quality films and documentaries to a range of audiences, often submerging the viewer in worlds that offer a new cultural or educational perspective. Through the Appleton, MN, PBS royalty-free database and other sources, our goal is to seek out a variety of classic films of an artistic nature, plus more current works that introduce styles of art from various ethnicities. Working around our community theatre production schedule, the plan is to offer these film opportunities two or three times a year, as the schedule allows. There may even be cases where the projector supplements a theatre production. Once the films have been scheduled and viewed, follow-up discussion will take place to determine the tastes and interests that best appeal to our local audiences. These decisions will also be based on audience surveys, which may include a provided paper form and/or an online survey such as Survey Monkey. Depending on results, we may add more viewings to the original schedule and offer a wider range of topics.","The independent film, Neither Wolf Nor Dog was a sellout success (254). WaterDays film was a nice crowd of 50. The Classic Comedy Film Festival was geared to a specific group, although 30 is a smaller attendance number we feel this was a successful result. Our conclusion is that we need to feature independent films that are not available in the mainstream theaters. The projector and screen add something unique to our productions, haunted house, style show and concerts and other events. Feedback has been positive. Our audiences have been pleasantly surprised to experience this added feature.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",8398,"Other,local or private",18398,,"Abigail Duly, Virginia Lief, Joanne Richard, Keith Olson, April Dorry",,"Crow River Players, Inc.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Equipment/Facilities Improvement",,"LCD Projector and Screen.",2018-03-15,2019-06-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Keith,Olson,"Crow River Players","PO Box 536","New London",MN,56273,"(320) 212-0214 ",keith.olson@ridgewater.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Kandiyohi, Stearns, Swift, Ramsey, McLeod, Meeker, Pope, Renville, Big Stone, Wright, Hennepin, Benton, Todd, Carver, Sibley, Nicollet, Douglas, Lyon, Scott",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/equipmentfacilities-improvement-8,"Mark Brodin: theatre; Maureen Keimig: theatre; Brett Lehman: music, SMAC Board; Janet Olney: visual art, arts admin, SMAC Board; Erica Volkir: theatre, dance, arts admin, SMAC Board; Mark Wilmes: theatre, music.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Pam Blake: retired art educator, visual artist, Tyler Arts Council, Lincoln County Art Fair, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2

To provide the lighting master and crew a portable LED lighting and modern control system improving setup, reducing electrical power usage and addressing safety concerns. To support the actors with vibrant stage lighting to enhancing their performance experience. To heighten the audience experience with lighting that permits a more creative lighting design. An audience survey form will be included with the playbill measuring opinions on the new lighting and its effectiveness in adding to the mood and clarity of the production. A survey will be conducted with the actors measuring their satisfaction level performing under the LED system. An energy usage audit of the new lighting system will be conducted and compared against the energy usage of the old incandescent system. There will be a discussion group made up of the lighting master, lighting crew and project director at the conclusion of the run of each of the shows. The discussion will evaluate ease or difficulty of the system setup, how the system affected safety, performance of the system and what changes need to be addressed for the next show. The director will be asked to write a summation following the close of the show addressing his/her experience of the LED lighting systems effectiveness in supporting the creativity of their lighting design.","A random survey was conducted of audience members. There was limited response, however, those that completed the survey were very positive. On the questions of the lighting adding to the mood and themes of the work, enhancing the productions clarity and working with other design elements scored 5 on a scale of 1 - 5 as strongly agreeing. The question of the new LED lighting adding to the overall enjoyment as compared to the lighting of previous productions was 5+ on the scale of 1 - 5. Comments included appreciation of the seamless scene transition and the more comfortable temperature of the space. On the actor survey, the question of the new lighting offering less of a distraction scored an average of 3.5 on the 1 - 5 scale. On the comment section there was some issue of the intense white lighting from a couple of actors in the first production. There was a learning curve on the color wheel and intensity settings. On the questions of the lighting elevating the actor-audience relationship, supporting the style of the work and making the production a memorable experience the score was a 5. General comments included the smooth transition of colors and mood with the new lighting system. The three directors involved were thrilled with the versatility of the new system. Each had occasion to utilize the wireless control system to place special lighting effects in areas that would have previously been either difficult or not even possible. They were able to experiment with colors without being limited by gels which may have had on hand or had to purchase. They all look forward to the opportunity to explore what more the system has to offer. The tech crew was the most enthused. The set-up time is a fraction of the old incandescent system. They no longer have to search for circuits to run power for the previous large power draw. They no longer need to run power cords throughout the building. When a director asked for a fixture to be relocated it could be done without a huge time commitment. There was a lot to learn about the new light board but once they dug into it, they were like kids with a new toy. The most time-consuming part of the process is programming the scene changes. They loved the ease of running the show once everything was programmed. Energy use and heat generated by the lights were drastically reduced.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",3490,"Other,local or private",13490,,"Elizabeth Nelson, John Ryan, Jon Benson, Becky Hungerford, David Metcalf, Betty Cronk, Barry Mielke, Steve Nelson, Kurt Schulz, Dawn Schaefer",,"FungusAmongus Players","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Equipment/Facilities Improvement",,"Theatrical Lighting Project.",2018-04-01,2019-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,David,Metcalf,"FungusAmongus Players","PO Box D",Dassel,MN,55325,"(320) 286-5630 ",dmetcalf88@yahoo.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Meeker, McLeod, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/equipmentfacilities-improvement-10,"Mark Brodin: theatre; Maureen Keimig: theatre; Brett Lehman: music, SMAC Board; Janet Olney: visual art, arts admin, SMAC Board; Erica Volkir: theatre, dance, arts admin, SMAC Board; Mark Wilmes: theatre, music.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Pam Blake: retired art educator, visual artist, Tyler Arts Council, Lincoln County Art Fair, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2

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,,,,

While not explicitly called out, actions that obtain multiple benefits to other Level B and C priority issues, such as Natural Resources?Protection, Management, and Restoration of Upland Habitat, a Level B issue, will be given priority. The work plan targets Tier 1-3 waters identified in the CWMP. Funding as follows: Outreach and Engagement were identified as the key to the success of the entire Rum River Watershed Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan (RRWCMP). Specifically, the RRWCMP calls for hiring and maintaining the positions detailed in the outreach plan. The FY25 WBIF work plan continues the progress made with previous WBIF funding by 1) continuing funding to coordinate watershed-wide Type A outreach, raising awareness and behavioral change. Type A outreach will be completed by existing outreach staff from Isanti SWCD. 2) continuing efforts for Type-B outreach, community organizing, and buy-in by continuing to fund the Full-time Watershed Organizer employed by Mille Lacs SWCD. The SWCDs hosting Type A and B outreach will work across the basin with other parties to the Joint Powers Entity to provide outreach services. The project development line item includes outreach Type C (technical outreach). An outreach and education subcommittee will develop a detailed work plan that coordinates outreach and engagement activities based on priorities identified in this annual plan throughout the watershed. Surface Water Restoration and Protection will focus on structural and non-structural projects targeted at all priority waters described in the RRWCMP. Due to the diverse nature of the watershed, members will implement an assorted set of practices, including agricultural structural and non-structural projects, urban/residential projects, and forestry and soil health practices. As part of planning for future years, this work plan also includes completing approximately five studies to prioritize locations and projects and woodland stewardship plans to help use funding wisely. The RRWP project policy document will be updated to guide the project selection process. Groundwater and Drinking Water Quality Members will address groundwater quality by sealing wells within the watershed boundary. This action was initiated with FY23 WBIF Supplemental funding. We anticipate sealing four wells and will continue seeking additional funding to keep the momentum. Due to the lack of reliable local and state funding, funding for administration, project development and technical assistance are included in the work plan and is necessary for effective plan implementation. The required 10% match will come from a variety of non-state sources such as project match per the Projects Policy adopted by the RRWP board and staff time, billed at the BWSR billable rates, for staff and board member attendance at JPE, IPC, Outreach office hours, and Planning Team meetings.

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.

This project focused on lands identified by DNR, USFWS, and our partners as necessary for the conservation of habitat for wildlife and Species in Greatest Conservation Need. Minnesota County Biological Survey data as well as USFWS data were used to identify and prioritize sites of highest value for grassland birds and other prairie species such as the Dakota skipper and Poweshiek skipperling, both recently listed as threatened by USFWS. Because the majority of prairie and grassland habitat is found on private lands, this project helped protect those habitats and establish important connections to other protected lands, thereby creating larger complexes of protected grassland habitats.","A total of 1,778 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 1,778 in Easements, 0 in Enhance.",33200,"Private and Private-landowner donations",1040500,29500,,0.66,"The Conservation Fund","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Grassland Conservation Partnership Phase II grant resulted in the protection via conservation easement of 1,778 acres of grassland habitat and 3 miles of shoreline associated with 2 working grasslands projects in western Minnesota. Land protected through conservation easement exceeded the proposed outputs for this grant by 445% (1,778 versus 400 proposed acres). In addition, 140 acres of grasslands habitat was enhanced through the grant. ","Native grasslands are the most threatened ecosystem in Minnesota and one of the most threatened in the world. The Prairie Section as defined by LSOHC has suffered the greatest habitat loss of any of the five sections examined by the Council. Furthermore, only a third of the remaining habitat in the Prairie Section is permanently protected. To compound the problem, significant amounts of Minnesota's conservation lands enrolled in the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) have expired over the past half decade and have been removed from the program. Science has proven that proper application of haying and grazing techniques can be used to mimic natural processes necessary for healthy grass natural communities. Our colleagues at The Nature Conservancy and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service have proven these techniques successful in Minnesota over a significant period of time. TCF performed the initial landowner outreach and identified potential projects; MLT negotiated the terms of the conservation easements with the landowners. All easements are held and monitored by MLT in perpetuity. Lands targeted for conservation easement protection through this project met the following criteria: 1. Lands with significant existing prairie or grassland habitat 2. Lands near or within the Core Areas and Corridors identified in the Prairie Plan 3. Lands adjacent to or in close proximity to permanently protected land (e.g., WMAs, WPAs, CREP easements, TNC preserves, etc.) 4. Lands which will help establish connections between existing permanently protected lands, and those creating larger habitat complexes 5. Lands which may also include low production cropland that can be converted back into grasslands, thereby increasing overall grassland habitat MLT and TCF used these criteria to systematically vet and rank potential projects to ensure projects selected possessed the maximum conservation value for the state's investment. Projects were also screened to identify producers with a proven ability to successfully implement the best management practices for conservation grazing. MLT used the proven ""reverse-bid"" model to incentivize landowners to donate a portion of easement value and allow for the most efficient use of conservation funds. This reverse bid model first ranks the projects according to their habitat values and then ranks them according to the landowner's bid on what they are willing to get paid for the conservation easements. Projects selected provided the greatest conservation benefits at the lowest cost to the State. Two conservation easement projects were completed through this grant, totaling 1,778 acres and protecting 3 miles of shoreline: Caribou Parklands (Finney) - This massive 1,510-acre conservation easement embodies the innovative protection strategy championed by the Grasslands Conservation Partnership program. Located in Kittson County in Minnesota?s unique Tallgrass Aspen Parklands biome, this property is part of a conservation grazing operation that is sustained by rotational grazing and selective haying. Strategically located in an approximately 10-square mile area of private land that is surrounded by three WMAs, this property provides a critical link between vast stretches of public lands. Ten native plant communities have been identified on the property, including rare prairie and wetland communities. Approximately 220 acres of native prairie is present. The property is home to numerous state-listed wildlife species, including moose, elk, and marbled godwit, as well as many other species that are considered Species in Greatest Conservation Need, such as sharptailed grouse and northern harrier. Perch Lake (Samuelson) - Nearly two miles of shoreline on Perch Lake and an additional unnamed lake in Otter Tail County are protected through this impressive 267-acre conservation easement. Located six miles northwest of Parkers Prairie, this property is situated in the scenic Leaf Hills, a rugged glacial moraine that is part of the larger Alexandria Moraine. The property contains extensive rolling pasture, grazed through a Conservation Grazing Plan, as well as a narrow isthmus located between Perch Lake and an additional unnamed lake. The isthmus is pockmarked with wetland basins and contains large stands of Pin Oak - Bur Oak Woodland, a community that is considered ""vulnerable to extirpation"" in Minnesota. This portion of the property is also part of a Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance and is located less than a mile west of Folden Woods Marsh Wildlife Management Area. A large 140-acre enhancement project also occurred on the Perch Lake (Samuelson) property after the easement closed. Portions of this easement had a long history of grazing and the Land Trust worked with the landowners to develop a rotational grazing system to improve and maintain the important habitats found on this portion of the property. The Land Trust also installed fencing to operationalize the rotational grazing system. These initial investments will allow for season-long habitat across the property, providing varied grass heights, and allowing for grassland plant species to complete their lifecycles on portions of the property every year. This will, in turn, provide valuable foraging and nesting habitat for grasslands birds, as well as floral resources and shelter for prairie pollinators.

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

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

Findings in a Western Washington University publication of Collaboration between Tribal and Non-Tribal Organizations: Sharing Expertise, Knowledge, and Cultural Resources regarding shared outcomes of collaborative projects showed the paramount importance of the post-project goals. We have determined these here: - Maintain ongoing documentation and share this information widely. - Develop comfort for tribal approval of any information planned for public dissemination. - Continue to gain institutional support for long-term and sustainable project outcomes. - Continue to maintain community goodwill and relationships after the project ceases. - Follow up regularly and engage in subsequent partnerships that build alliances over time. - Publicize impact and share successes with others.","The Honoring Dakota Project is a collaborative project of Prairie Island Indian Community (PIIC), Goodhue County Health and Human Services (GCHS), the City of Red Wing, Red Wing Arts, Goodhue County Child & Family Collaborative, Prairie Island Family Services and Thrive Unltd. It is a process of community conversations and events that provide education to discover our shared stories, bridge our communities, and create a space for healing. The project theme is Mitakuye Owasin Dakota interpretation meaning our shared home holds our shared stories. We are all related. And even if we don't always know what it means to be related, we know deep down we want to be in harmony with each other by being good relatives. Red Wing Arts (RWA) engaged Nicky Buck, PIIC member, as our engagement specialists. The program has been guided by her insight and connections. Nicky has mitigated Tribal Council for support at each step of the way. Through her love of her Dakota ways, this project is embracing the historical trauma and the connection to Dakota beliefs. The first engagement occurred at the Red Wing Arts Fall Festival where we hosted a tent with an 8' canvas asking the community to draw what it means to be a good neighbor in the context of the Honoring Dakota. Over 100 people, young and old participated and learned of the project. Numerous presentations to City Council, Tribal Council, Civic Groups and community groups have educated on this ground breaking initiative. A website and social media presence has been created to educate and inform of this projects work. Photographers have been engaged to document the programs and surveys and community collection of responses gathered. In January we hosted the first Community Engagement Session. This week grew from a vision of working with distinct populations around the concept of historical trauma to a week long of engagements. We hosted morning sessions of dialogue about what is the indigenous historical trauma. Sessions were with our PIIC Elders, the Red Wing Community and our High School Students. Within the High School we secured champions of this project from the RWPS Director of Teaching and Learning, the NASA and BSU advisors Prairie Island Liaison and the Dakota language teacher. The program in the school reached all Language Arts classes with the focus of the poem Give Away Songby Gwen Westerman, a Dakota woman and an MN Poet Laureate. Community Conversations was a key for this week's engagement. A community meal hosted on Prairie Island (at Treasure Island Casino) was attended by what most of us would have said was the most diverse audience experienced in Red Wing. City, County, School and Tribal Council officials were in attendance along with members of both the Red Wing and Prairie Island Communities. It was an opportunity to all sit in a space, hear the experiences, feel the trauma, and honor our Dakota relative's story. In the planning of our first engagement week, we realized that we needed an experiential and positive program. A Winter Carnival presented community members an opportunity to learn Dakota ways. Over 500 people attended the teachings of food sovereignty and ice fishing, experienced a traditional bark lodge (the first on Dakota lands in over 150 years) and story time around the fire in the tipis. Throughout the week-long session, our Indigenous Culture Bearers and Knowledge keepers were engaged to teach and share. Although visual representation of the Dakota people in downtown Red Wing was initially what was identified as the problem to solve, the project continues to expand to truly leverage the desire of both communities to heal. We have planned 3 additional engagement projects around the harvests (Spring, Summer & Fall). As more champions engage with us, the programming outcomes expand. Currently we have plans to host monthly Zoom sessions, a craft club and a book club. We remain flexible as the organization who holds the project and are willing to allow it to grow and grow. The project outcomes remain the same. Progress is being made towards all of them. This is a long road. The Honoring Dakota project is groundbreaking and leading the country in efforts to truly heal as a community with such a shared history.; 4:55 PM The Honoring Dakota Project -Mitakuye Owasin (meaning our shared home holds our shared stories. We are all related. And even if we don't always know what it means to be related, we know deep down we want to be in harmony with each other by being good relative) has truly been Dakota led. We as wasicu (white) people and organizations have stewarded and supported the direction of PIIC throughout this project. Quarterly Engagements scheduled around the seasons were programmed. Facilitated conversations were key. They provided an opportunity to all sit in a space, hear the experiences, feel the trauma, and honor our Dakota relative's story. Throughout the engagement sessions, our Indigenous Culture Bearers and Knowledge keepers were engaged and compensated to teach and share. Although visual representation of the Dakota people in downtown Red Wing was initially what was identified as the problem to solve, the project expanded to truly leverage the desire of both communities to heal. The vision and project grew. Involvement of the community grew - our schools, our Indigenous youth, other partners, funders and businesses. The April quarterly engagement centered around our Buffalo relative. It launched with a broad community education session which had an attendance of 300+, The Prairie Island Indian Community held a traditional Buffalo Ceremony and Harvest. The emphasis was to introduce the culture and traditions back to their community. Many youth learned for the first time of these traditions and skills. This was supported by Prairie Island Community members and other indigenous culture bearers. This series of engagements ended with the first ever publicly offered tours of the Buffalo farm. The experience allowed Red Wing community members to gain a new historic perspective before European settlement, where buffalo roamed and provided for their two legged relative. To continue with providing a new historic perspective, in May Prairie Island Land and Environment department presented Before the Europeans: Dakota Lands of Present Red WingThis presentation was also conducted in downtown Red Wing and hosted by Downtown Main Street Red Wing. This presentation provided the audience with a vision of the nature-related aspects of the Red Wing area; what it was like for those that came before the wave of European settlement. It explored these questions. What natural forces shaped this land? What did the landscape look like? What did it support, and what were the resources that made this land so valuable for the Dakota people that lived here for generations? Goodhue County Health and Human Services hosted a viewing of Dodging Bullets at the Sheldon Theater. This collection of remarkable stories, names Historical Trauma as the unique and insidious part of the genetic code that resilient Native American populations are still finding ways to dodge. Survey results indicated an increase in community members awareness of historic trauma of indigenous community members. Shortly after the viewing the community engaged in an online community conversation about what was presented in the documentary. The Buffalo centric quarterly engagement inspired the next engagement which was traditional brain tanning. Red Wing Shoe Company and SB Foot Tanning, prominent, long standing businesses in Red Wing were brought into the dialogue with the common thread being leather tanning. They provided financial support to bring this learning back to Praire Island. They also engage a number of their employees to learn alongside community members. This exchange has forged a new supportive relationship between Prairie Island and Red Wing Shoe Company who has since used their resources to commercially tan 7 buffalo hides which will be used for the teaching and creation of Pow Wow regalia We expect this relationship will continue and more projects will be supported. The July quarterly engagement centered around Tipi Teachings - This is Home.An indigenous art market was held in Central Park which included a performance from Thomas X, an indigenous HIp Hop artist and Austin Owen, a Prairie Island community member. Community members were led on an art walk viewing elementary students' art installation of over 800 mini canvas created as part of teaching about Mitakuye Owasin - We are all related during their art class period by project facilitators. The community participated in an art project, which involved painting a tipi in Bay Point Park, a place of great significance to our Dakota relatives. This tipi is now cared for and stored by the City of Red Wing and will be used in various community events. Once the tipi was painted the community was invited to Tipi Teachingsin Bay Point Park. Culture bearers shared about Dakota history and other culturally significant topics. All of the engagements formed the content and sentiment of the mural, which was painted on a City owned building in downtown Red Wing. The mural is a wopida to PIIC . A wopida is a sacred sharing of gratitude, a connecting with all beings, including the Great Spirit, through giving thanks. In this sharing our hearts naturally become filled with compassion, love, understanding, forgiveness, joy, happiness and oneness. There has been progress made to acknowledge, heal and provide the Dakota peoples rightful belonging in their homeland. We remain flexible as the organization who holds the project and are willing to allow it to grow and grow. This has been a beautiful project that has met the goals set forth. With a lot of relationship building and many community involvement sessions, our Indigenous relatives are beginning to feel welcome in their homelands. The project outcomes remain the same. Progress is being made towards all of them. This is a long road. The Honoring Dakota project is groundbreaking and leading the country in efforts to truly heal as a community with such a shared history.

The construction and installation of the conservation practices will achieve a reduction of sediment, provide temporary water storage, and reduce peak flows that allow sediment and phosphorus to directly enter impaired Beaver Creek East Fork. Beaver Creek East Fork, which was designated impaired for sediment (TSS) and altered hydrology in the 2017 Hawk Creek Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies (WRAPS) report, has been prioritize as a Tier 1 (High Priority) impaired stream in the Hawk Creek-Middle Minnesota Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan (HCMM). The project falls within the Beaver Creek watershed (HUC 070200411), which is listed as a priority watershed in the HCMM. The HCMM outlines goals to address the Beaver Creek Watershed and the impaired Beaver Creek East Fork for altered hydrology and soil erosion and sediment loss. The implementation of these conservation practices will achieve an estimated reduction of peak flows by 21% for a 2-year storm, a reduction of 48% for a 10-year storm, and a reduction of 32% for a 25-year storm. These water quality practices will achieve an estimated reduction of 103.02 tons per year (T/yr) of TSS, and 118.47 pounds per year (lbs/yr) of Phosphorus (P).",2023-04-10,2024-08-21,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Holly,Hatlewick,"Renville SWCD","1008 West Lincoln Street Olivia, MN 56277",Olivia,MN,56277,320-523-1559,hollyh@renvilleswcd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,Renville,,"Minnesota River - Yellow Medicine River",https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/improving-water-quality-beaver-creek,https://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/board,https://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/board,"Annie Felix-Gerth",No

Projects will be identified in watershed plans developed through BWSR's One Watershed, One Plan program, in which local governments strategically set priorities for clean water and habitat, target implementation, and set measurable goals. BWSR currently distributes CWF dollars to partnerships with approved plans for water quality projects. By offering a more comprehensive funding package, BWSR aims to incentivize local partnerships to focus on more multi-benefit solutions that use the Legacy funds at their full potential.","A RIM easement program will be established for land protection priorities identified in comprehensive watershed management plans (""watershed plans"") developed through BWSR's One Watershed, One Plan (1W1P) program. Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) dollars will be strategically paired with CWF dollars for implementation that stacks habitat and water quality benefits in priority areas as identified by watershed-based partnerships of local and tribal governments. Through the 1W1P program, partnerships of soil and water conservation districts, counties, and watershed districts identify priorities for watershed protection and restoration, set measurable goals, and commit to targeted implementation actions (municipal and tribal governments may also participate in local planning). State agencies (BWSR, DNR, MDA, MDH, MPCA, EQB) are advisors in the planning process and partners in implementation. Watershed plans are comprehensive: they address water quality, water quantity, groundwater, drinking water, habitat, recreation, and more. Once BWSR approves a watershed plan, we grant dollars from the CWF for actions in the plan that address water quality concerns identified in the watershed plan. BWSR's vision is for this water quality funding to be stable and reliable for the life of the Legacy Fund. An important piece of this vision is to streamline the administrative burdens for local governments associated with applying for and reporting on grants while maintaining appropriate oversight of state funds. This allows implementers to spend more time doing what they do best: implementation. A BWSR RIM easement program dedicated for watershed plans would similarly reduce the number of individual proposals submitted to the LSOHC by local governments. Millions of dollars are spent on projects from both the CWF and the OHF that focus primarily on a singular set of goals: water quality or habitat. Resource professionals and fund managers know that while many of those projects have a primary purpose, they achieve multiple benefits to varying degrees. Managers of both funds have expressed a desire to be more intentional about spending Legacy funds to achieve habitat and water quality simultaneously. Furthermore, the state's current easement programs are limited - either to a specific resource type or focused geographic area. There is tremendous opportunity to do more strategic, multi-benefit work. Through this new RIM program, BWSR would offer a more comprehensive set of funding opportunities, and therefore support more holistic, comprehensive implementation. OHF dollars would allow partnerships to meet land protection goals to maintain and enhance terrestrial and aquatic habitats while simultaneously using CWF money to address water quality in the same sub-watersheds (where needed) with actions like agricultural and urban best management practices, septic system upgrades, well sealing, shoreland restoration, stream stabilization and connectivity fixes, and more. BWSR will establish a scoring and ranking system to evaluate easement requests from partnerships with approved watershed plans (we anticipate at least 30 approved plans by the time funding is available). The scoring and ranking approach will incorporate plan priorities, the degree to which projects are paired with Clean Water Fund dollars, and progress toward measurable goals set by local partnerships.",,2023-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Kevin,Roth,BWSR,"110 Second Street South Suite 307","Waite Park",MN,56387,651-539-2521,kevin.roth@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Grant, Marshall, Meeker, Mower, Pennington","Forest Prairie Transition, Northern Forest, Southeast Forest, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/integrating-habitat-and-clean-water-phase-2-4,,,,

It was designated in 1996 by the Minnesota State Scenic Byway Commission and in 2002 as a National Scenic Byway. The Byway Alliance has more than 45 members representing cities, counties, historical societies, tourism entities, DNR, MnDOT, tribal communities, and interested citizens along the Minnesota River's 287-mile stretch. The Byway plays a vital role in linking and promoting historical sites and stories to tell the Minnesota River Valley history through programs, a website, roadside signs, a calendar, brochures, and other marketing materials. This grant will strengthen the relationships between Byway partners, including relationships between county historical societies and the Upper Sioux Community Tribal Historic Preservation Office (USC THPO) and the Lower Sioux Indian Community Tribal Historic Preservation Office (LSIC THPO). Note, though the USC THPO did not sign on as a partner, they will provide input to review content. Also, many of the USC elders participate in the review process with the LSIC THPO. Byway Alliance members share a common desire to improve the quality and type of content available about the Dakota people's significance in the Minnesota River Valley, and they will ensure that Dakota voices are included in projects.

State Legislature Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 8, (d)","$850,000 the first year and $850,000 the second year are for a competitive grants program to provide grants to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Minnesota. (2) Of this amount, $250,000 the first year is for a grant to one or more community organizations that provide arts and cultural heritage programming celebrating Somali heritage. ","Ka Joog and AADA propose to measure qualitative and quantitative outcomes for each goal as follows: Goal 1: Somali American youth build their knowledge of traditional Somali art forms and increase their capacity to use Somali arts as a communication tool Outcomes of Goal 1: 20-25 Somali American youth participate in monthly art clubs 100 Somali American youth use Somali art to present their ideas in a public forum 90% or more of youth participants self-report an increase in knowledge of Somali art after participating in workshops To assess whether these activities achieve their intended impact, AADA and Ka Joog will use post-art club surveys distributed to participating students and artists to help us determine how we can continuously improve our approach and instruction quality. Learning from art clubs will culminate in public presentations, implemented quarterly. At the conclusion of each presentation, we will request youth and participating artists to self-assess what they learned, how they have grown, and what support they would like Ka Joog and AADA to offer to deepen their learning and enhance their practical application of their new artistic skills.   Goal 2: Public presentations change community perceptions and increase dialogue within the Somali American community in the Twin Cities and Moorhead. Outcomes of Goal 2: At least 130 individuals attend public presentations (this indicator is the same for Goal 3) 70% of Somali American attendees indicate they have new knowledge or understanding after participating in the presentation To measure these outcomes, Ka Joog and AADA will distribute post-presentation surveys to each attendee and we will collect their feedback when guests exit the venue. After each presentation, our team will also facilitate conversations to allow attendees to share their impressions verbally. We will document this feedback as qualitative information to complement data collected through surveys.   Goal 3: Public presentations change intercommunity perceptions and increase dialogue between the Somali and non-Somali communities in the Twin Cities and Moorhead. Outcomes of Goal 3: At least 130 individuals attend public presentations 30% of public presentation attendees will identify as non-Somali At least 50% of non-Somali attendees report improved intercultural appreciation after participating in a public presentation Like Goal 2, Ka Joog and AADA will use post-presentation surveys to assess the outcomes of our presentations. We will measure positive changes in perceptions of the Somali American community by non-Somali attendees to determine if our program has positively impacted intercultural perceptions.   To further the impacts of goals 2 and 3, Ka Joog and AADA intend to document the public presentations and share them widely through our websites, YouTube channels, and social media platforms. When we complete our final project report, we will include any qualitative feedback collected through these channels and describe how this input influenced our work.

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

The project footprint is over 12 square miles in size, and it will alter Lateral 1 of State Ditch #95 to provide fish and wildlife habitat, keep water on the landscape, stabilize river flows, reduce erosion and sediment, protect, maintain, and improve a prairie rich fen, benefit water quality and provide flood damage reduction. Phase 1 construction will include buffered inlet channels, a diked impoundment, various water control structures, and related structures.","Several natural resources enhancements and flood damage reduction strategies have been identified in this area. The Beaches Lake Area Fen is a prairie rich fen that has been identified by DNR as one of the largest of its type in the lower 48 states. Portions of the fen have been degraded by farming practices and are located on the project site. The MNDNR and TRWD have jointly written a fen management plan and this project will begin plan implementation. Downstream reaches of the Two Rivers have been identified by the MPCA as impaired for fish and macroinvertebrates. These reaches experience flashy flows and become nearly or totally dry in late summer when rainfall is typically sparse, causing a major stressor for fish. Another stressor is upstream sources of sediment that impact the resource by causing turbidity, lowering dissolved oxygen, and increasing nutrients that promote excessive algal growth. Excessive floodwaters frequently impact public and private lands causing erosion, sedimentation, inundation of habitat, loss of crop land and damage to public infrastructure. An interagency Project Work Team consisting of landownwers, local-state-federal government agencies, and non-government organizations convened and discussed the flooding and natural resources problems, identified a purpose and need, investigated a range of alternatives, and selected the preferred alternative. Substantial surface water, groundwater, and vegetative and biological monitoring has been done by local, regional, and state agencies to assess the resources and propose a project. The TRWD is pursuing the project through Minnesota Statute 103D. This application is for phase 1 of 3 phases. Over 12 square miles of land have been obtained. 130 easement acres are needed. Structural measures will include changes to Lateral 1 of State Ditch #95 to provide an inlet for water to flow into the impoundment. A set back levy will be constructed along 8 miles of the ditch to provide a wide grassed area for water to flow. A low dike will be constructed around a 12 square mile area to hold the water and release it slowly over time. Several gated inlet controls and two gated outlet controls will allow for management of the flows into and out of the project. A detailed operating plan will identify how and when the project will be filled and emptied before, during and after runoff events. In general the impoundment will be filled during spring, summer and fall runoff events and will be slowly drained dry. The project will retire ag land to provide grassland and wetland habitat and the operating plan will address downstream fish habitat and provide flood control.

A land exchange application with the MN DNR has been submitted to permanently protect high value fen. Part 1 will construct 75% of the proposed dike, one of the two outlet structures, and 8 miles of diked inlet which will included the main channel and set back levees. These construction items will partially achieve the desired fen protection and fish habitat components of the plan. The part 2 proposal encompasses this current funding request, and will construct the remaining 25% of the dike, the second outlet structure, 2 additional inlet structures, and a south diversion inlet ditch. These are critical to the fish habitat component of the project because the part 2 structures will maximize the amount of water that can be stored and consequently released into the downstream river system at low flow periods when fish need it the most. The project will also improve habitat by stabilizing band and bed erosion of the river in turn reducing sedimentations to riffle and runs that provide habitat. ,",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Dan,Money,"Two Rivers Watershed District","410 South 5th Street Suite 112",Hallock,MN,56728,218-843-3333,dan.money@tworiverswd.com,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Kittson,"Forest Prairie Transition",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/klondike-clean-water-retention-project-part-2,,,,

Coming from Lao refugee roots and as a minority woman, I have had to work through educational disparities and limited access to social and economic opportunities like many of my fellow Lao. Many have to address untreated PTSD and depression as refugees, and many had limited education because they could not attend school during the war, and few could pursue higher education upon arriving in the US because they needed to find work first to support multigenerational households of elders, adults, and children. We were not given many opportunities to preserve the arts, but fortunately I was among the best students of my teacher in Vientiane, and continued to practice and refine my skills over the decades to preserve the beauty and spirit of our traditional dances which extend over 600 years to the ancient kingdom of Lan Xang, while also understanding how to make room for younger voices to have a conversation with our arts. At any given point in time, there have been between 3 to 6 Lao traditional dance programs in Minnesota, but my organization has one of the the longest continual record of performance in the community, and many of the traditional dance instructors are now retired.","Lao Culture Dance Fashion MN has been working hard to achieved our goal to train youth for leadership and preserved our lao Culture and heritage, so far everything is on track as we had planed and the goal and outline that we set for our organization.

Our primary objective was to equip our students with the necessary tools and opportunities to acquire knowledge, boost their self-confidence, foster teamwork, enhance public speaking abilities, display showmanship, and deliver performances in front of live audiences. Through our dedicated efforts, we succeeded in achieving our goal, witnessing our students seamlessly execute the tasks required to become effective leaders.During the event, our students astounded the audience, parents, and the community, embodying positive role models for others to follow. The celebration of our Lao tradition was a resounding success, leaving the artists, audience members, and communities brimming with pride and joy for being part of such a meaningful occasion.We received an outpouring of admiration and appreciation for the performances, both in person and through my social media posts. The event garnered numerous likes, shares, engagement, and positive comments from our friends and community members. The achieved outcomes aligned with our initial aspirations, leaving us fulfilled with the results.As we engaged with the parents and attendees, their pride in their children's talents was evident, as they expressed admiration for their stellar performances.

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

Reset spires that are loose from base. The Litchfield Opera House has been an active participant in community life for over 100 years. The building first served as a theater and community meeting space, and was eventually developed into administrative/community service offices. The Opera House is a well preserved example of Renaissance Revival style architecture, rare in Litchfield and Meeker County. The Litchfield Opera House was built in 1900 to serve the greater community as a gathering place for social functions and entertainment. In the early years the Opera House was well attended as evidenced by the many national theatrical groups visiting Litchfield. In addition, other events such as concerts, high school commencements, debates, lectures, celebrations and visiting dignitaries graced the Opera House. In 1935, the Opera House was completely remodeled and reopened as the Litchfield Community Building. In 1965-1970, the City of Litchfield renovated the Opera House for City offices, which included sandblasting the exterior and repointing masonry joints with portland cement. In 2002 the building was closed due to ""mold"" issues. In October 2006 the Litchfield City Council voted to demolish the building. In March 2007, a Reuse Study was commissioned by the City of Litchfield. In September 2007, after nearly six years of debate, the City Council voted  6-1 to sell the building for $1 to GLOHA.

Shallow lakes and wetlands that remain are often those that were too deep to drain years ago, and they now function as the core of Minnesota’s remaining waterfowl habitat complexes. Unfortunately, these remaining wetland basins now often receive the excessive nutrient-laden water runoff from an intensively drained and interconnected landscape through which invasive fish such as carp have improved access. As a result, many of our remaining wetlands and shallow lakes are turbid and degraded due to highly drained watersheds, high and stable water levels in which nutrients collect and carp and other invasive fish proliferate. The result is that aquatic ecology functions stagnate and wetland productivity declines, and wetland basins with few aquatic plants and invertebrates result.

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

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

While tolerance, peace, and harmony are hard to measure, it is hoped that through continuing performances reaching a broader audience, those values will be thought about in greater capacity. Also, the desire is for people to have a new awareness of their neighbors, change their attitude if needed to one of welcome and acceptance, and to recognize and focus on similarities instead of differences. Feedback will be sought from event planners regarding comments heard about each performance. Interviews with dance participants will be conducted to verify how their outreach has progressed.","Performance expectations were well met and favorable comments were given regarding the authenticity of the costumes, head dress, and dance techniques. Audience members, which often included a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, felt the performance was quite enlightening and educational, especially to some children who were being exposed to the culture of the Mexican nation for the very first time.

We will install at least 350 linear feet of restored lakeshore and 3,000 sq ft of native plant stormwater treatment with an emphasis on bioengineering techniques, native plants and locating buffers/swales/rain gardens at points of concentrated overland flow into the lake. By targeting properties that are eroding and/or with concentrated overland flow to the lake we will reduce suspended solids discharge by 6,300 lbs/yr and phosphorus by 0.6 lbs/yr. We will also establish emergent native plants which indirectly improve water quality. This project has two purposes. First is to improve water quality in this impaired lake. The area presently has no stormwater treatment. Lakeshore buffers placed at locations with concentrated overland flow to the lake will serve as the only stormwater treatment in the drainage area, achieving large first cut reductions for the entire up-gradient area. Second, the project is part of a larger effort to change the culture of intense lakeshore manicuring that impacts water quality at this lake and others. Grant funds are sought to expand a 7 year-old program by the Long Lake Improvement District (LLID) for near-shore water quality projects. That program has installed 19 projects to date, but present demand exceeds locally available funding. Each project will require an erosion correction component, using bioengineering techniques and native vegetation. The Isanti SWCD will use grant funds to provide a sub-grant to the Long Lake Improvement Association (LLIA) for project installations. The Long Lake Improvement District (LLID) will contribute to the project by providing cash match ($4,800 annually) and managing project installations in cooperation with Hayland Woods Native Nursery.

Long term outcomes we hope to see from this project are as follows: Increased interest from educators to include Indigenous authorship, Dakota relevant history curriculum, outreach and cultural education in the classroom. Audiences can gain an awareness of authentic cultural, historic resources that reflect an accurate narrative. By attending this event people will broaden their views on Minnesota history and determine historic inaccuracies of written materials.

Through this project, activities will primarily be focused on the installation of Best Management Practices (BMP) in Phase 1 upstream sub-watersheds, South Branch of the Wild Rice River, Moccasin Creek and Marsh Creek. Sediment loading reductions in these sub-watersheds will in turn result in sediment load reductions on the LWRR downstream. Priority will be given to BMPs installed within 1 mile of the main stem channel in each sub-watershed or within 1/2 mile of tributaries and within 120 feet of all other man-made ditches. We will work with landowners to install BMPs within targeted locations through existing federal, state and local conservation programs. The conservation practices that will be supported by this project will provide erosion control and reduce sediment properties, which will reduce the sediment load at the LWRR.

Through an established and successful partnership between the Wild Rice Watershed District and the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, this 4th request for funding from LSOHC will permanently protect 420 acres of private lands in easements. This project represents a model approach to river corridor acquisition and is critical to advancing the largest river restoration project ever proposed in Minnesota.","Rivers and streams in the Red River Basin were straightened, ditched, cleared, and snagged to improve drainage. These activities destroyed hundreds of miles of aquatic habitat and eliminated thousands of acres of riparian forest, wetland and grassland. These habitat losses continue and have reduced fish and wildlife populations within channelized reaches. The Red River Drainage Commission channelized the Lower Wild Rice River in the late 1800's with additional ""improvements"" completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950's. Channelized reaches of the Wild Rice River provide little functional aquatic or riparian corridor habitat and reduce connectivity between the lower 49 miles and upper 130 miles of the river. The project vision includes establishment of a half-mile wide protected corridor along the river channel, setting back existing soil banks, reconnecting oxbows, construction of a natural meandering river channel, and restoration of riparian wetland and prairie plant communities. The Wild Rice Watershed District (WRWD) and the MN Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) have approved a Memorandum of Understanding which details responsibilities for easement acquisition. The WRWD and BWSR partnership will use the Reinvest In Minnesota (RIM) Program to secure, maintain, and monitor easements within the corridor. The WRWD received three prior allocations from LSOHC for ML 2015, ML 2019, and ML 2020. Using these allocations, the WRWD and partners marketed the program to property owners within the designated corridor and successfully enrolled applicants. The Lower Wild Rice Program utilizes the RIM Outside Easement Program for establishing easement payment rates. The RIM easement payment rates are established using assessed values from the Minnesota Land Economics. Until recently, the most current available RIM easement payment rates were generated in September of 2018. Unfortunately, inflation and other unforeseen market factors resulted in significant increases in the land values within the Wild Rice project area. As a result, several applicants to the program were unwilling to proceed with easement acquisitions at the 2018 RIM easement payment rates. Consequently, the WRWD will be releasing a portion of the unused funding from the prior allocations due to grant timeline expirations. Fortunately, in March of 2023, BWSR released updated RIM easement payment rates. These new rates were significantly higher than the 2018 rates (plus or minus 40%) in the project area and more accurately reflect current market conditions. Consequently, several prior applicants have shown a renewed interest in enrolling in the Lower Wild Rice Program. Therefore, this application to LSOHC is intended to fund approximately 420 acres from prior applications at the recent 2023 RIM easement payment rates. Once all acquisition is complete, future channel rehabilitation phases of the project will be completed with the assistance of MN DNR and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The WRWD will be the local sponsor responsible for final design, engineering, and construction of the project.

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

First, 80 acres were acquired (36.7 acres pro-rated to this appropriation) and added to the Hastings Sand Coulee SNA. The addition contains native oak savanna and prairie and increases this SNA to 267 acres. Thus, more than half of this largest remaining prairie complex in Dakota County is protected for its 13 resident rare species (including 3 snake and 2 butterfly species) and for public use, including hiking and nature observation. Second, about 70 acres - including public fishing frontage on the Credit River - was acquired (6.2 acres pro-rated to this appropriation) and added to the Savage Fen SNA in Scott County. These sites offer urban residents close-to-home nature-based recreation, including a new archery hunting opportunity on 300 acres at Savage Fen SNA. SNA restoration and enhancement activities were completed on 187 acres at 13 SNAs in 7 counties in the greater metropolitan area. For example, a 55-acre prairie was reconstructed (restored) at Lost Valley Prairie SNA with the help of volunteers and a Sentence-to-Serve crew using seed collected on site by hand and mechanically harvested by the SNA crew. Almost 100 acres was prescribed burned at 5 SNAs. About 34 acres received invasive species control actions, including work by Conservation Corps Minnesota. These activities result in better habitat for the SNAs' rare features and improved quality for users of SNAs.

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

Regional and state wildlife acquisition staff identified high priority DNR acquisitions, but have not yet been able, for a variety of reasons, to protect these sites.

The parcels listed in this proposal comprise high priorities for DNR and our conservation partners. Although these priorities have been identified on a biologically important basis, it is our intention to also communicate long-term visions for wildlife habitat with local communities to establish a shared vision for conservation outcomes that will positively impact local economic vitality. Current TrendsFluctuations in real estate markets have opened an opportunity to work with these willing sellers in to potentially protect wildlife habitat for a better value than has been seen in the recent past. This can create a mutually beneficial strategy - to protect ecologically important sites while also allowing willing sellers to liquidate marginal land.

Adapted methods are shared among SWCD staff. Efforts are currently underway by metro SWCDs to apply modeling applications such as SWAT to rural landscapes. Although SWAT was not developed to model BMP efficacy, methodologies are rapidly being developed to model practices such as sediment basins, seasonal ponding and tile inlet modifications.

During the first 36 months of funding, this process resulted in 63 analyses that are completed or underway and identified over 4,000 site specific BMPs. Many CWF project grant applications are the result of SWAs propelling cost effective projects onto local priority lists. MCD proposes to analyze an additional 15 subwatersheds that contribute to the degradation of locally identified high priority water resources. The analyses will identify the location and estimated cost/benefit relationship for BMPs, evolve with new technology, and share discoveries metro-wide.

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

The enhancement at Katherine Abbott is continuing with Trust Fund support and City support. This site now hosts remnant prairie, oak savanna, enhanced forest habitat, and enhanced wetland habitats. Acreage and habitat goals were met; with City funds, summer and fall 2017 burns are being developed for the oak woodland communities to control buckthorn and promote the remnant understory. • Fish Creek Open Space: 75 acres of dry-mesic prairie oak savannah were enhanced. Work included woody invasive removal, tree planting, and prairie seeding. Oak savanna was restored using an oak grove design, and the timing of seeding was selected carefully to encourage forb establishment for better pollinator habitat and floristic diversity, as well as a robust prairie grass component. The establishment has included mowing to promote prairie perennials over weedy annuals and biennials, and spot treatment (pulling, spraying) of more problematic non-native invasive species.

Annual breeding bird surveys at the forested area showed significant increases in the number of species and the number of birds between 2010 and 2015. Annual breeding bird surveys showed substantial increases in the number of species recorded at restored/enhanced areas, with ten species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) noted. •Rosemount Wildlife Preserve: FMR completed enhancement activities on 5 acres of prairie and 11 acres of forest through treatment of exotic invasive species and prescribed burns. Annual breeding bird surveys at the forested area showed significant increases in the number of species and the number of birds between 2010 and 2015. Great River Greening (GRG) exceeded its original grant acres target 7-fold. GRG conducted enhancement activities on 69 acres (10 acres were originally proposed), as follows: •Crosby Park: 52 acres of habitat were enhanced through woody invasive species eradication within floodplain forest and installation of practices to address erosion impacting Crosby Lake. The project is complete and exceeds the proposed acreage goals. •Seminary Fen SNA: Supplemental funding from this grant was used to complete the full spectrum of enhancement activities at Seminary Fen SNA initiated under the Metro Big Rivers Phase 1 grant. Invasive species management was conducted across 1 acre of the fen through prescribed fire. The project is complete. •Savage Fen SNA: Supplemental funding from this grant was used to complete the full spectrum of enhancement activities at Seminary Fen SNA initiated under the Metro Big Rivers Phase 1 grant. Invasive species management was conducted across 1 acre of the fen through prescribed fire. The project is complete. •Fish Creek Open Space: Forest enhancement work was completed through the removal invasive woody species over 10 acres of a grassland portion of the forest mosaic. We have released oaks, and removed planted pines and overabundant box elder. The project – as funded through this grant – is complete, but additional activity funded through MBR Phase 3 continues at this site. •Springbrook Nature Center: Extensive woody invasive species control and forest thinning was completed across 5 acres of oak woodland and savanna habitat at the site. The project is – as funded through this grant – is complete, but additional activity funded through MBR Phase 3 continues at this site. Additional matching funds leveraged for the project includes gifts from the 3M Foundation, Xcel Foundation, Brookfield Renewable, and Buuck Family Foundation. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) exceeded its target acres significantly. The original target was 300 acres, but MLT was able to complete three easements on 654 acres with the grant, thanks to significant donations of value by landowners. MLT also protected a total of approximately 10,999 linear feet of shoreline along rivers, lakes and ponds. The following easements were completed with the MBR 2 grant: •The 80-acre Sherburne Hardwoods (Anderson) tract, located in Becker Township in Sherburne County, is adjacent to the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge and is in an area designated as a state Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society. The property consists of approximately 48 acres of deciduous forest, 30 acres of grassland, and 2 acres of wetland. The landowner is currently in the process of restoring the grasslands and the wetlands on the property. The forest, wetland, and grassland habitats contained within the property provide habitat for a variety of species in greatest conservation need, including bald eagle, American woodcock, and whip-poor-will. •26 acres at the confluence of the Mississippi and Elk Rivers with 2,591 feet of shoreline along the Elk River and 493 feet of shoreline along the Mississippi River, a state Wild and Scenic River and state water trail. •548 acres of forest, wetlands, grasslands and open water on Stickney Lake in Sherburne County, approximately 3 miles northwest of Clear Lake, Minnesota. This easement includes approximately 2,400 feet of shoreline on Stickney Lake (a shallow lake) and approximately 5,515 feet of shoreline on unnamed ponds. These natural features provide key habitats for a variety of Species in Greatest Conservation Need, including the northern pintail and the sharp-tailed grouse. Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) completed fee title acquisition on 444 acres of priority habitat for the Blakely Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Of the 444 acres, 384 acres were acquired with the Outdoor Heritage Fund grant through Metro Big Rivers Phase 2. The other 60 acres were acquired with other, non-state funds. Trust for Public Land (TPL) completed fee title acquisition of 335 acres of land with over a mile of Mississippi River shoreline at the confluence of the Elk and Mississippi Rivers on December 16, 2014. This acquisition was completed with the balance of TPL’s Phase 2 grant and part of its Phase 3 grant. The land provides habitat for a variety of species and the shoreline affords access to an excellent smallmouth bass fishery. The property was conveyed to the City of Elk River to be managed in a manner similar to a state Wildlife Management Area. Public hunting and fishing will be allowed according to DNR guidelines. TPL also completed fee title acquisition on 128 acres of the Blakely Bluffs area for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

FMR converted crop field to diverse prairie and restored forest at two sites on the Mississippi and Elk Rivers in Sherburne County. The restoration provides critical habitat for resident and migrant birds (including five SGCNs surveyed post-restoration), native pollinators, and mammals. The sites are partially located in the high potential zone for Rusty Patched bumblebee. Post-restoration surveys documented increases in pollinator abundance and diversity. GRG worked on public conservation lands to improve habitat values for wildlife and SGCN, including birds using the Mississippi River migratory corridor and pollinators. Work restored and enhanced riverine, forest, oak savanna, prairie, and wetland habitat at seven conservation sites. MLT prevented fragmentation around lakes experiencing development pressure (Pickerel and Fish Lakes), as well as areas of biological significance (Medvecky Woods). MLT conservation easements also protected two miles of shoreline and associated riparian habitat on Pickerel, Fish, and Oak Lakes. Over six bird species designated as SGCN have been identified on the Oak Lake conservation easement alone. MVT acquired lands identified through the USFWS Comprehensive Conservation Plan, which prioritizes lands for high biodiversity, connectivity, and ability to preserve habitat for SGCN. MVT?s acquisition protected oak savanna, remnant prairie, oak basswood forest and seasonal ephemeral wetlands. A bioblitz identified more than 200 species, including the endangered Henslow?s sparrow, bloodroot, pasqueflower, kittentail (state threatened species), buffalo bean, bergamot, common milkweed, whorled milkweed, green milkweed and bur oak. Restoration created habitat for grassland and savanna-dependent birds, other wildlife and pollinators, including the endangered Rusty Patched bumble bee and monarch. TPL acquired land prioritized in Minnesota?s Wildlife Action Plan (WAP) due to its high biodiversity significance, connectivity to existing public lands, and ability to preserve habitat for SGCN.

Working with SNA staff, FMR enhanced 175 acres of forest and 40 acres of bluffland prairie at Pine Bend Bluffs SNA. At the Hastings Sand Coulee SNA, FMR enhanced 70 acres of forest and 80 acres of prairie. Forest acres were enhanced through invasive woody removal, including by both forestry mowing and cut-and-paint removal, with two years of follow-up treatments. Prairie acres including 87 acres of native remnant prairie were enhanced through a combination of activities including herbaceous and woody species removal, seeding, and prescribed burns. Volunteers participated in the enhancement through yearly invasive removal and seed collection events. Great River Greening (GRG) completed its work under this grant, restoring and enhancing 95 acres of prairie and 110 acres of forest. Working with Scott County staff at Doyle-Kennefick Regional Park, GRG restored 88 acres of prairie from former agricultural land and enhanced 7 acres of oak savanna. At Victoria Park and Crosby Farm Regional Park, GRG worked with the City of St Paul to enhance 110 acres through prairie planting, tree planting, invasive species removal and shelter pocket clearing and planting. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) completed 3 conservation easements, protecting 318 acres of high quality habitat and 2.35 miles of shoreland. These included: 1) Hunter Lake (Jannusch) protected 201 acres of hardwood forest, oak savanna, pothole wetlands, extensive lake shoreline, and a glacial esker in Sherburne County. The landowner generously donated the entire value of the conservation easement, which appraised at over $380,000. 2) Medvecky Woods (DeCorsey) protected 40 acres of hardwood forest and wetlands in a Minnesota Biological Survey-designated site of Outstanding Biodiversity Significance in Isanti County. The property is contiguous with another MLT easement and nearby the 5,700-acre Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. 3) Tennyson Lake (Barrett 2) protected 77 acres of habitat on Tennyson Lake in Isanti County, a favorite stopover of trumpeter swans and migratory bird species. The easement adds on to 80 acres of existing protected property directly to the north at the inflow of the lake. Funds remaining after completing protection work allowed MLT to work with the Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to complete an oak savanna restoration on the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in Carver County. This spectacular project is part of a large complex of public lands with a rich multitude of habitats overlooking the Minnesota River Valley. Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) completed its work under this grant as of September 2018 when it protected through fee title acquisition 51 acres of a high-priority 77-acre parcel for the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The balance of the site was acquired with half of the MBR 7 / ML 2016 grant and $794,462 in other, private funds. After acquisition, MVT used the balance of its MBR 7 / ML 2016 grant to complete the initial habitat restoration over 40 acres, which included converting the building site and crop field to prairie and wetland. Simultaneously, the MN Land Trust conducted initial restoration of 23 acres of degraded oak savanna on the site with the balance of its MBR 6 / ML 2015. Follow-up treatments to maintain and enhance the restored 77 acres will be completed by MVT and USFWS under the MBR 9 / ML2019 grant. The Trust for Public Land (TPL) acquired 116 acres of land which was added to the existing Grass Lake Wildlife Management Area in Wright County. The land contains wetlands, rolling hills and forested areas, and approximately 37 acres of agricultural land that were restored to tallgrass prairie through this grant. Acquisition was the first step in the restoration of a drained wetland, helping to improve water quality and provide aquatic habitat, while also protecting a portion of Grass Lake, an identified shallow lake. Additionally, the acquisition connected separate WMA parcels and increased the size of the existing WMA by 25 percent to over 450 acres. Within a 45-minute drive of over half the State's population, Grass Lake WMA provides numerous outdoor recreation and wildlife observation opportunities to the general public in the Metro Area.

We adapting to challenging conditions caused by the pandemic by shifting budget from small projects using hand labor (which was largely unavailable for the past 3 years) to very large scale projects utilizing heavy machinery and extensive habitat materials.","We enhanced habitat on 11 different stream reaches. The scope of work varied to match the site conditions, watershed characteristics, and address the specific population limiting factors. Severely degraded or unstable stream sections received comprehensive, large-scale habitat enhancements to restore stream function and in-stream trout habitat. These included intensive projects on the South Branch Whitewater River near St. Charles, Wisel Creek near Harmony, Pine Creek near Nodine, Hay Creek near Red Wing, Beaver Creek west of Caledonia, and Winnebago Creek southeast of Caledonia. These projects required extensive grading and modification of stream channel patterns to create habitat-filled, stable channels and restored floodplains. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted labor availability and prevented implementation of smaller scale projects around the state. We adapted by shifting resources to larger scale projects in southeast Minnesota. Comprehensive habitat enhancement could be, and was, completed on these streams because they required less DNR involvement and did not rely on extensive hand labor. We had originally planned to complete several with later phases of funding, but we accelerated implementation of them to ensure that all Phase 10 funding would be utilized creating high quality habitat within the grant period. In southeast Minnesota, we also completed 4 miles of work along Badger Creek, Gribben Creek, Mill Creek, and the South Fork of the Root River. These project sites had cold water temperatures and decent in-stream habitat but suffered from the negative effects of dense corridors of buckthorn, boxelder and other invasives. Here significant habitat gains were realized by removing these invasive trees and shrubs, which do a poor job holding streambanks. We removed invasive trees and shrubs and seeded corridors with grasses and forbs. This allows native grasses and forbs, which better secure soils, to become reestablished and lets beneficial sunlight reach the stream beds and boost stream productivity. Although we could not implement the small-scale projects in the northern forested areas due to labor disruptions, by pivoting to southeast Minnesota we completed more large-scale projects than originally planned.",,2018-07-01,2023-09-07,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Lenczewski,"Minnesota Trout Unlimited","P O Box 845 ",Chanhassen,MN,55317,,jlenczewski@comcast.net,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Olmsted, Winona","Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-trout-unlimited-coldwater-fish-habitat-enhancement-and-restoration-phase-10,,,,

","This project will teach high school youth about local government issues, functions, and structures in their jurisdiction through a hands-on two-day workshop. Originally we had hoped to research, plan and develop this workshop between January 2021 and July 31, 2021, and deliver it in August 2021. However, several factors led to us delaying deliver of the actual workshop until December 2021. Most notably, our city partner -- the Office of Minneapolis Elections -- had to deal with significant staffing issues and issues related to the ballot question around police reform during the spring and summer months. They also determined that recruiting young people and delivering a workshop prior to the November 2 election would be very difficult for them. As a result, we spread out the research and development process and used the extra time to engage one of our younger team members who had not been through a program development process. We felt that the longer development timeline gave us more time to research program models that may have been helpful as well as spend time discussing all the elements of successful program design. For instance, it's not good enough just to develop a program that has good content -- others have to be interested in that content, the content has to be presented at their level and in an engaging way, the program has to be priced in such a way that your intended audience can afford it but you also have to cover expenses, etc. We adjusted our timeline so that we would develop a workshop plan, agenda, activities, and materials and hold a weekend conference in partnership with the city of Minneapolis in December 2021. This first conference will serve between 40-50 participants; we will use it to evaluate our program format, content, and delivery. Following the conference, we will make any needed adjustments and offer the workshop to youth in other cities across Minnesota.

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. Anecdotally, steering committee and ticket gate volunteers noted many festival attendees were there because they liked the artist during our music series, and this was also indicated by responses to our post-festival website survey.",,44181,"Other, local or private",74181,339,"Betsy Price, John Rodeberg, Megan Peterson, Mark Hanneman, Jan Johnson, Karen Grasmon, Kris Haag, Laurie Vasko, Ronny Wilson",,"RiverSong Music Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Minnesota Festival Support",,"The RiverSong Music Festival, July 20-21, will highlight the abundant music, art, history, and natural assets of the Hutchinson area.

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

Trout Run Creek (Winona). These projects were completed used methods similar to those used on projects completed by MNTU chapters in the past several years and also incorporated new research to improve project designs and fish and wildlife benefits.    The specific methods used on each stream varied depending upon the distinct natural resource characteristics of each watershed and ecological region, the limiting factors identified for each stream, and the variations in the type and magnitude of poor land uses practices within each watershed.  Methods were tailored accordingly, using the best available science, in close consultation with resource professionals within the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR).  Purposes:  Each project was designed and completed using techniques selected to accomplish one or more of the following purposes:  (a) increase or maintain adult trout abundance; (b) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream; (c) reconnect streams to their floodplains to reduce negative resource impacts from severe flooding; (d) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms; (e) increase habitat and biodiversity for both invertebrates and other non-game species; (f) be long lasting with minimal maintenance required; (g) improve angler access and participation; and (h) protect productive trout waters from invasive species. Habitat enhancement methods:  Methods used on each project included one or more of the following techniques: (1) sloping back stream banks to both remove accumulated sediments eroded from uplands areas and better reconnect the stream to its floodplain; (2) removing undesirable woody vegetation (invasive box elder, buckthorn, etc.) from riparian corridors to enable removal of accumulated sediments, reduce competition with desirable plant and grass species, and allow beneficial energy inputs (sunlight) to reach the streams; (3) stabilizing eroding stream banks using vegetation and/or rock; (4) selectively installing overhead and other in-stream cover for trout; (5) installing soil erosion prevention measures; (6) mulching and seeding exposed stream banks (including with native prairie plant species where appropriate and feasible); (7) improving or maintaining stream access roads and stream crossings to reduce erosion; (8) fencing grassy riparian corridors, including in such a way as to facilitate managed grazing, in order to prevent damage from over grazing; (9) placing large logs in northern forested streams to restore cover logs removed a half century or more ago; and (10) in northern forested watersheds with little cold groundwater, planting desirable trees in riparian areas to provide shade for the stream channel, help cool the water, and provide a source of future cover logs. Agricultural area example:  Many streams in the agricultural areas of southern and central Minnesota have been negatively impacted by many decades of poor land management practices.  The projects in southeast Minnesota used the following approach to address this: Erosion has led to wider, shallower and warmer streams, as well as excessive stream side sediments which regularly erode, covering food production and trout reproduction areas.  In many cases shallow rooted invasive trees have taken over the riparian corridors, out competing native vegetation which better secures soils, and reducing energy inputs to the stream ecosystem.  To remedy this, a typical enhancement project will involve several steps.  First, invasive trees are removed from the riparian zone and steep, eroding banks are graded by machinery to remove excess sediments deposited here from upland areas.  Importantly, this reconnects the stream to its floodplain.  Since many of these agricultural watersheds still experience periodic severe flooding, select portions of the stream banks are then reinforced with indigenous rock.  In lower gradient watersheds, or watersheds where flows are more stable, little or no rock is used.  After enhancement work is completed the streams flow faster and become deeper, keeping them cooler and providing natural overhead cover through depth and the scouring of sediments deposited by decades of erosion. Second, overhead cover habitat is created.  Bank degradation and the removal of native prairie or hardwoods have dramatically decreased protective overhead cover in the riparian zone.  Two methods are used to remedy this situation:  increasing the stream’s depth, which alone provides natural cover to trout, and installing overhead cover structures in select stream banks.  Wooden structures or tree trunks are often installed into banks in hydraulically suitable locations and reinforced with rock as a way to restore or recreate the undercut banks which had existed before settlement and agricultural land use altered the more stable flows which had gradually created and maintained them.    Finally, vegetation is reestablished in the re-graded riparian corridor to further stabilize banks and act as buffer strips to improve water quality.  Depending upon the specific site conditions, landowner cooperation, and agricultural use, native grasses and forbes are planted along the stream corridors, although often mixed with fast sprouting annual grains to anchor soils the first year.  Unusual conditions in 2019 caused severe flooding in southeast MN which demonstrated that, due to the unique soils in southeast valley floors, more indigenous rock was needed on the toes of the stream banks on some projects.  These changes were made where needed, while staying within original budget.     Taken together, these actions directly enhance physical habitat, and typically increase overall trout abundance, population structure, the number of larger trout, and levels of successful natural reproduction.  In addition to the benefits to anglers of increased trout habitat and trout abundance, project benefits extending well downstream include reduced erosion and sedimentation, cooler water temperatures, improved water quality and numerous benefits to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife populations.   ",2013-07-01,2020-03-03,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Lenczewski,"Minnesota Trout Unlimited","P O Box 845 ",Chanhassen,MN,55317,"(612) 670-1629",jlenczewski@comcast.net,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Carlton, Cook, Dakota, Fillmore, Lake, Olmsted, St. Louis, Winona","Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-trout-unlimited-coldwater-fish-habitat-enhancement-restoration,,,,

The Nature Conservancy may acquire land in fee or through permanent conservation easements. A list of proposed fee title and permanent conservation easements, and a list of proposed restorations and enhancements, must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. All restorations must comply with subdivision 9, paragraph (b). The commissioner of natural resources must agree in writing to each acquisition of interest in land, restoration project, and enhancement project. The accomplishment plan must include an easement stewardship plan.",,"Protect in Fee w/o PILT: 341 acres of wetlands, 1342 acres of prairies; Restore 168 acres of prairies; Enhance 20,282 acres of prairies. ",,,,3653000,,,,"The Nature Conservancy","Non-Profit Business/Entity","This program proposes a 15-year goal to provide protection to the remaining 90,000 acres of native prairie/savanna, a 20-year goal to restore and protect an additional 500,000 acres of diverse grasslands/savannas, and a 10-year goal to increase management capacity to annually manage 300,000 acres of grassland and savannas per year. This proposal takes the first steps to achieve these goals by initiating a comprehensive, coordinated and collaborative prairie conservation initiative. Annual investments by the LSOHC will be required to realize these ambitious outcomes. When completed, the outcomes of this proposal will include: protection of 1000 acres of native prairie and/or savanna; restoration of 250 acres of diverse, local ecotype grassland; enhancement of 8000 acres of grassland/savanna by prescribed fire, invasive species removal, and/or conservation grazing; and development of a new conservation model in 2 parts of the state that will serve as a platform for accelerated conservation across Minnesota. ","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. Programmatic and staff limitations that reduce efficiencies in implementing diverse conservation programs across multiple partners. What is the problem being addressed? The creation of the Outdoor Heritage Fund finally offers the resources needed to provide adequate conservation in Minnesota's prairie, prairie pothole and savanna landscapes. With the Council's support and the efforts of multiple partners, large and productive grassland landscapes can become a reality in Minnesota. How will this directly relate to restoring, protecting or enhancing habitat?When completed, the outcomes of this proposal will include: protection of 1000 acres of native prairie and/or savanna; restoration of 250 acres of diverse, local ecotype grassland; and enhancement of 8000 acres of grassland/savanna by prescribed fire, invasive species removal, and/or conservation grazing. The Conservancy will own the fee lands, coordinate with partners and supervise enhancement on public and Conservancy lands, and implement restoration on degraded lands acquired with OHF funds. Why will this strategy work? There are no new tactics in this proposal; all of these practices are being used by one or more organizations already at work in Minnesota. What is new here is the effort to closely coordinate activities, to bring practices that work in the private sector to the public sector, and to greatly accelerate the use of conservation practices. The conservation community has demonstrated that these protection, restoration and enhancement activities work, but to truly reach the level of conservation that is needed for a comprehensive prairie recovery project, partners must work with a plan, with an open mind for innovation, and with appropriate new tools. We believe this project sets the table for launching the required effort. Finally, by supporting local opportunities to develop grass-based businesses (grazing, biofuels, etc.) we believe there will be reduced incentives for conversion of grasslands on unprotected private lands (i.e., grasslands will be perceived as having economic value). Described the nature and extent of any partnerships in this project, stakeholder and public participation processes associated with the project and any anticipated support or opposition to the project?A ""Prairie Recovery Project Partnership"" will be formed to include representative of prairie conservation organizations, including: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), MN Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Pheasants Forever (PF), MN Prairie Chicken Society (MPCS) and The Nature Conservancy. This group will identify 2 pilot focus areas and establish other guidelines for project implementation. Local workgroups will then be established to provide on-the-ground planning and coordination of conservation activities. Additional groups that will be contacted for input or representation will include: Ducks Unlimited, MN Waterfowl Association, MN Deer Hunters Association, Land Stewardship Project, MN Cattleman's Association, local livestock groups, MN Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and MN Farmer's Union. In addition to the above the Conservancy proposes the following: a. At least semi-annually, at meetings of the Prairie Recovery Project Partnership, the status of funding and leverage will be discussed in detail among all project partners. b. At the beginning of the project, a marketing plan will be developed that will identify key audiences (e.g., landowners, local units of government, elected officials) and needed information. This will include elements like project fact sheets, media outreach and annual reports. The Conservancy will provide the technical and financial resources needed for this effort. c. Members of the Partnership will be requested to provide informational materials on their websites and in their organizational publications. For land acquisitions, indicate local government support and approval. No specific tracts have yet been identified, so there has been no contact to date with local governments.

A list of proposed land acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. Annual income statements and balance sheets for income and expenses from land acquired with this appropriation must be submitted to the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council no later than 180 days following the close of The Nature Conservancy's fiscal year.",,"This phase resulted in a total of 1,425 acres of wetlands and prairies protected in fee, 22,298 acres of wetlands and prairies enhanced, and 110 acres of wetlands and prairies restored.",,851300,"The Nature Conservancy, private land donation",4607900,96700,,10.1,"The Nature Conservancy","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The goals for this project were to: protect 1,200 acres native prairie/wetland/savanna; restore 250 acres prairie/wetland; enhance 6,000 acres grassland/savanna with fire, invasive species removal, and grazing; and continue a new prairie conservation model. This phase resulted in a total of 1,425 acres protected, 22,298 acres enhanced, and 110 acres restored. When combined with phases 1 and 2 of the Prairie Recovery Program we have cumulatively protected 4,070 acres, enhanced 58,134 acres and restored 314 acres using OHF funds. We will continue to implement subsequent phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan.",,"1. Scope of work: With the requested funding, and with other funds leveraged by this money and brought by other partners, the following actions and outcomes were acheived.“Phase 3” built upon the success of the MN Prairie Recovery Project Phase 1 and 2 by continuing and expanding enhancement work in 4 focal areas and protection in 5 areas. Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments.1,425 acres of existing and restorable grassland, prairie pothole complex, and savanna was permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as identified in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan 2010. Lands will be held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to the grant with the MN DNR. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been, and will continue to be, implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), once again primarily through interactions through Local Technical Teams.A separate and discrete internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs.  Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, native seed harvest, and/or cropping) are held in this account and used to pay for property taxes and ongoing management costs.110 acres of cropland were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Preference was given to local producers and contractors for provision of seed and establishment of prairies to promote creation of local conservation-oriented businesses.22,298 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (“protected conservation lands”) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire (61 projects totalling 15,016 acres), removal of woody vegetation (60 projects for 1,678 acres), and control of exotic species (83 projects - 5,514 acres). Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC.On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and FWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and other activities related to prairie conservation in the focus areas. Contracts were let to provide a high level of enhancement activities to new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities greatly improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing jobs for CCM 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.To ensure goals and outcomes are consistently achieved across all 4 project areas, the project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. Significant marketing and media outreach was conducted by the Conservancy to highlight the goals and accomplishments of the project to local and statewide constituents, as well as elected officials. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/minnesota/policy/minnesota-prairie-recovery-project.xmlTemporary seasonal crews were employed by the Conservancy to provide additional capacity for public land management during critical periods like spring burn season. These crews helped create flexibility for enhancement projects and maximized the ability of specialized skilled personnel like burn bosses to increase the number of acres annually enhanced.2. How priorities were set: Prioritization and prioritization criteria vary with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with MN County Biological Survey prairie “focus areas” and TNC priority areas. Each of the 4 project locations directly correlate to core areas identified in the 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Because this project is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by respective coordinating groups. criteria for each of these tactics include:a. Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding. A more robust listing of selection criteria can be provided upon request.b. Restoration: feasibility/likelihood of success, location, cost, availability of seed, and availability of restoration technical assistance, proximity to other habitats, and their ability to buffer or increase the conservation value of other protected lands.c. Enhancement: urgency/time since last enhancement, feasibility of success, accessibility, availability of enhancement technical assistance, cost, proximity to other habitats and partnership benefits.3. Urgency and opportunity of this proposal: Only about 1% of Minnesota’s original native prairie still remains (about 235,000 acres of an original 1.8 million), and the remnants are still being destroyed and degraded. Less than half of those 235,000 acres are currently protected from conversion, and management capacity is unable to address needs on protected lands. Additionally, more than 90% of the original prairie pothole wetlands in the western part of the state have also been lost. These losses threaten the viability of Minnesota’s prairie/wetland wildlife and recreational opportunities that depend upon them. Further, huge strides that have been made in supplementing habitat with the Conservation Reserve Program are in imminent danger of being lost as contracts expire. Conservationists have a narrow window of opportunity to protect remaining native grasslands, wetlands and other habitats, restore and protect supplemental grasslands and wetlands, and accelerate enhancement efforts to ensure these habitats are providing optimal value to animals and people. This proposal accelerated an initiative begun in 2010.4. Stakeholder involvement and/or opposition: This Phase continues an initiative begun with OHF funding in 2010. We have worked very closely with conservation interests in developing and maintaining this initiative and will continue close collaboration among partners. Via past and ongoing projects, we are also coordinating with other stakeholders (e.g., cattlemen’s associations, Land Stewardship Project, county boards), and will continue to seek opportunities to expand that coordination. Points of opposition that have risen to date include: perceived loss of tax revenues, philosophical opposition to public land ownership, and lack of understanding of processes (i.e. prescribed fire) necessary for long-term prairie system health. To address these concerns we have been actively engaged with county boards and other local units of government, local agricultural producers and groups, and local communities. We anticipate continuing to build these relationships in each of the four project areas.PlanningThis project implements strategies identified in at least 6 plans, as identified below.1. The 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan (Plan) identifies three distinct strategies and opportunities for targeting protection, restoration, and enhancement of Minnesota’s prairie and grassland systems. The plan recommends work in “Core Areas” defined as large landscapes that retain some features of functioning prairie systems. Using MN County Biological Survey data and USFWS Habitat Assessment, Populations and Evaluation Team (HAPET)2. MN Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan. The strategic framework of this plan has 5 elements in its “Habitat” section: integrated planning, critical land protection, land and water restoration and protection, (identification of) sustainable practices, and (provision of) economic incentives for sustainable practices. Further, while the plan does not go into great detail with respect to prairie conservation, it clearly states that “protection of priority land habitats” is a vital practice, and prairies clearly fall here.  The Plan identifies 36 distinct prairie core areas across the western third of the state. Collectively these core landscapes contain 71% of the state’s remaining native prairie. All 4 of the project focus areas directly correlate with one or more of these core areas.3. Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild and Rare. The primary objective identified in the MN DNR’s plan is to “stabilize and increase populations of “species in greatest conservation need (SGCN)”. In the prairie regions of Minnesota, strategies to achieve this goal include:a. Support incentives that avoid conversion of grasslands into row crops where SGCN occur.b. Use mowing, cutting woody vegetation, prescribed fire, or careful use of herbicides to prevent the invasion of grasslands by trees and shrubs.c. Lengthen the cutting rotations for hay; avoid early-season mowing.d. Use light to moderate, rotational grazing programs to benefit SGCNe. Prevent fragmentation of grassland habitat.f. Avoid soil compaction in areas occupied by mammal SGCN.g. Increase native plant species components.h. Control spread of invasive species to adjacent native-dominated sites.This project proposes to address all but item “f” above.4. The Nature Conservancy’s Northern Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregional Plan (1998). This plan identifies key conservation targets, geographic emphasis areas, threats to native plant and animal communities, and key strategies to mitigate these threats. The proposal is a solid step in the implementation of this plan. Also, as a step-down from the NTP Ecoregion Plan, the Chapter has completed local level planning (Conservation Action Planning) for smaller geographic units that correspond with the focus areas. Goals within these focus areas are very explicit in identifying conservation targets and actions and are consistent with the activities contained in this proposal.5. DNR’s Pheasant Plan. This proposal is in full support of the Pheasant Plan goal to add 1.5 million acres of undisturbed grassland to the state by 2025.6. DNR’s Waterfowl Plan. This proposal is in full support of the state Long-range Duck Recovery Plan to add 2 million acres of habitat to the state by 2025. It also utilizes establishment of complexes, as per the plan, to achieve multiple conservation synergies and benefits.This plan helps fulfill multiple priorities specified by the LSOHC “Prairie Section Vision”, including permanent protection of existing prairies and wetlands, restoration of prairie and wetland habitats, building grassland/wetland complexes in blocks sufficient to increase migratory breeding bird success, enhancement of public lands for game species and other species of conservation need, and protection of watersheds of shallow lakes. Specifically, this proposal addresses “Prairie Section Strategies” 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 directly.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Neal,Feeken,"The Nature Conservancy","1101 W.

Up to $112,500 is for establishing a monitoring and enforcement fund as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17. Lands with easements acquired with this appropriation may not be used for emergency haying and grazing in response to federal or state disaster declarations. Conservation grazing under a management plan that is already being implemented may continue. A list of permanent conservation easements must be provided as part of the final report. ",,"Protected 303 acres (in easement) ",,2101100,"CleanWater Fund, Clean Water Fund ",2110800,,,0.85,BWSR,"State Government","The Clean Water Fund and OHF were used together to secure easements on buffer areas. Seven easements were recorded for a total of 606.5 acres. These acres represent 303.1 acres funded by OHF and 303.4 acres funded by non-OHF sources. Only the OHF acres are being reported in this final report to be consistent with the approved accomplishment plan. ",,"Minnesota's primary strategy to mitigate the loss of CRP contract acres is to target expiring contracts for enrollment into continuous CRP practices (like buffers) and permanent easements for the most beneficial practices (e.g. wetland restoration, grasslands, and buffers). This program model is a proven strategy to provide landowners with an option to keep targeted conservation on the land when economic incentives may lead to a switch to row crop production. This program established permanent buffers that provide both improved wildlife habitat and water quality. For example, a buffer of 100 feet generally serves to protect water quality, while an additional 100 feet for wildlife greatly enhances nesting opportunities for wildlife. Establishing  a minimum of 200 feet on each side of a stream for a total of 400 feet, plus the open water, creates a block of habitat for nesting birds and a critical link between other permanently protected habitats. Criteria used to evaluate and prioritize buffers funded under this phase of the program included building upon Clean Water Fund buffers, proximity to other permanently protected habitat, buffers within a designated shallow lake watershed, proximity to lands open to public hunting, plant diversity, overall size, and the type of water resource being buffered. A RIM Buffers application process for landowners was utilized for the program. The process built upon the established RIM Buffer enrollments supported by the Outdoor Heritage Fund and Clean Water Fund in the previous funding cycles. In future years, it is hoped that a broader buffer initiative (full field or all land within the floodplain of larger order streams) will create increased demand for this program as wider buffers provide better habitat. Further, buffers that are put in proximity to other grasslands also function at a higher level for grassland nesting birds and other wildlife. The $2.2 million from OHF was used for perpetual RIM easements that built upon RIM buffers funded through the Clean Water Fund allocation of $2.2 million.

A list of proposed land acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.

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.

In the process of restoring habitat, we also increase climate resilience by reconnecting streams to their floodplains and removing barriers to fish movement to colder water. Outcomes include increased fish and wildlife populations, and more opportunities for anglers to access quality ecosystems close to home.","The popularity of trout fishing in Minnesota continues to grow. Anglers applaud our recent habitat projects and want to see many more undertaken. Badly degraded habitat on those trout streams that are most accessible to the public severely limits their productivity and public enjoyment. Minnesota Trout Unlimited (""MNTU"") will directly enhance or restore degraded habitat on priority streams with existing protections under the Aquatic Management Area system or other public ownership. We propose to restore or enhance habitat in and along these public waters (in these counties): 1. Keene Creek (St. Louis); 2. Sucker Brook (Clearwater); 3. Stoney Brook (Cass); 4. Baptism, Manitou & Split Rock Rivers (Lake); 5. Little Rock Creek (Benton); 6. Little Cannon River (Goodhue); 7. Garvin Brook (Winona); 8. Rice Creek (Fillmore); 9. Mill Creek (Fillmore); 10. Numerous streams statewide (numerous counties); and 11. Additional Enhancement of older projects statewide (numerous counties). Individual project descriptions are provided in an attachment. Some of the projects listed above may be reduced in scale or dropped due to the lower funding level recommended. However, if substantial other funding is leveraged projects reduced in scale or dropped may yet be completed. Goals and scope of work: The goals of projects are to increase the carrying capacity and trout population of the stream, increase climate resilience, increase angling access and participation, improve water quality, and provide other benefits to aquatic, terrestrial, and avian wildlife. Each project will accomplish one or more of these objectives: (a) increase adult trout abundance, (b) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream, (c) reconnect the stream to its floodplains to reduce negative impacts from severe flooding, (d) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms, (e) increase habitat for invertebrates and non-game species, (f) improve connectivity of habitat along aquatic and riparian (terrestrial) corridors, (g) improve riparian forest health and function, (h) improve angler access and participation, and (i) protect productive trout waters from invasive species. The scope of work and methods utilized vary by project site conditions and are discussed in the individual project descriptions provided in an attachment. How priorities were set: MNTU focuses habitat enhancement and restoration efforts on those watersheds likely to continue to support viable, fishable populations of naturally reproducing trout fifty years and more from now. Work is done only where degraded habitat is a limiting factor for a quality, sustainable fishery. Priority locations are determined through consultations with MNDNR professionals, MNDNR management plans and surveys, other habitat and conservation planning efforts, MNTU members' knowledge of watersheds, and science-based criteria. All things being equal, we consider the potential to draw new anglers outdoors, increase public awareness, engage landowners in conservation, foster partnerships, and increase public support for OHF projects. Stakeholder support: We continue receiving strong support from anglers, landowners, rural communities, and local civic and sporting organizations. We will continue gathering local input and developing partnerships in the planning and implementation stages.

The total acreage from both CWF and OHF sources for recorded easements is 2,105.0 acres. Only the OHF acres are being reported in this final report to be consistent with the approved accomplishment plan. ","The sites enrolled were generally farmed sites adjacent to a sensitive water feature or drained and farmed floodplain wetlands and associated upland habitat. Expiring Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts were also enrolled. These sites originally offered limited ecological benefits. Through a combination of a scoring and ranking process and eligibility screening, each application was evaluated, with the applications that provided the greatest habitat and environmental benefits after restoration and protection being selected for funding. Factors considered during site selection included: linear corridor connectivity, length and width of the filter strip, adjacency to a public water, size of the site offered for enrollment, additional wildlife benefits, highly erodible land or partially highly erodible land, threatened and endangered species, and addressing water quality concerns. MN Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) is a voluntary, federal-state funded natural resource conservation program that uses a science based approach to target environmentally sensitive land in 54 Counties in southern and western Minnesota. This is accomplished through permanent protection by establishing conservation practices via payments to farmers and agricultural landowners. Landowners enrolled in the federally-funded CRP for 14-15 years; CRP is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture-Farm Service Agency (USDA-FSA). It uses agricultural land for conservation benefits, rather than farming or ranching; The same land was also enrolled into a state-funded perpetual conservation easement through the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Reserve program, administered by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Private ownership continues and the land is permanently restored and enhanced for conservation benefits. The RIM payment rates were consistent throughout most (2018 - 2022) of this appropriation but CRP annual rental rates fluctuated, so the state's contribution to the overall easement cost varied in reaction to the CRP rate. The largest easement funded in this project was a floodplain easement in Nobles county (53-01-19-01). The total easement was 209.2 acres (104.6 acres funded with this project) and protects portions of both sides of Kanaranzi Creek and its floodplain areas. This easement is adjacent to an 80.9 acre MN CREP easement funded with ML2016 RIM Buffers Phase VI and a 60.1 acre MN CREP easement funded with ML2017 RIM Buffers Phase VII.

Our first draft of the manuscript has been completed! The manuscript includes 26 Shero stories, 20 of which are previously published Sheroes and 6 new Sheroes who have never been featured on our platform. All Sheroes have been interviewed and their stories written even our existing Sheroes stories were updated and rewritten as necessary to best describe what work each is currently doing and who she is today. The first draft of the manuscript also includes introductions from our founder Nausheena Hussain and our Executive Director Malika Dahir as well as back matter, such as information about nominating a Shero, information about RISE, and a glossary of terms. Photography and illustration are also in production. Our photographer has been working with each Shero to capture photos of her in her element, with many shoots taking place at Sheroes' workplaces, schools, and community centers across Minnesota. 15 photo sets have been photographed, edited, and approved; 5 are currently being edited; 6 are being scheduled and will be photographed in the coming months. Our illustrator has begun working on the four illustrations that correspond with the four themes of the book. These interior illustrations are each approximately 50% completed, and she is now starting to sketch ideas for the book cover. As we move forward with production, we are preparing for the later evaluation phase of our project. This is the first time RISE has embarked on a project of this scale, and we want to understand its successes and learn from its challenges. We have drafted a survey to assess our measurable outcomes, which our Sheroes will be asked to complete when the final draft of the book is completed. To ensure transparency and equity in our storytelling process, each Shero is involved with editing and final approval of her story. Finally, to get a head start on the publication phase of this project, we were able to secure a few quotes from printers through our publisher, Daybreak Press. ; Because of the support that we received from the Cultural Heritage grant, we were able to complete our manuscript for our Muslim Sheroes of Minnesota book, complete nearly all artistic elements for the book, and begin the editing and publishing process. We learned firsthand that writing and publishing a book is a long and arduous journey, and without this grant, we would not have been able to dedicate the necessary time and resources to the creative process.The manuscript includes 26 Shero stories, 20 of which are previously published Sheroes and 6 new Sheroes who have never been featured on our platform.

Our illustrator has completed all four interior illustrations that correspond with the themes of the book, and she is now refining the illustration for the cover.We have also dedicated time to planning community outreach and engagement for the book.

Work will be focused in areas identified as having significant biodiversity by the Minnesota Biological Survey and located in priority areas in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. ","The Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) was established in 2000 to address the loss of America’s grasslands and the decline of grassland wildlife. The Refuge was created to permanently preserve and restore a portion of our disappearing tallgrass prairie. The Refuge is authorized to work in the prairie landscapes of western Minnesota and northwestern Iowa.To date, the Refuge has protected 9,660 acres in Minnesota. Funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) will allow The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), working in partnership, to significantly accelerate this progress. TNC and USFWS will cooperate on protecting approximately 705 acres of native prairie and associated habitat in the 49 Minnesota counties within the Refuge boundary.

The lands protected will consist of native prairie and associated habitats including wetlands, streams, and lakes.Potential acquisitions are reviewed using the following criteria:1) Is there untilled native prairie on the tract? If not, is it adjacent to untilled native prairie?2) Is the property in a priority area (core/corridor/complex) identified in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (Prairie Plan)?3) Is it adjacent to an existing complex of protected land?4) Was it identified by Minnesota Biological Survey (Biological Survey) as having concentrations of threatened and endangered species and communities?5) Is it suitable for public recreation?Because of the nature of parcel ownership, some properties acquired through this program will likely include small areas of converted or degraded habitat needing restoration/enhancement. Restoration/enhancement will be completed where needed. With this program's focus on native habitat, only a limited amount of cropland restoration has been required. To date, less than 2% of the land acquired was cultivated at the time of purchase.

The school is currently going through a transition with a number of older artists retiring. Replacing them will be a challenge and takes time. The board has started its class selection process early this year with the hope of acquiring a new batch of teachers and classes in 2018. Milan Village Arts School prides itself in the quality of its classes and is not intending on adding classes simply to expand offerings. It is important the new classes are a good match for the school, our curriculum, and our students. This takes time. We are also hoping to attract more instructors from our region. Our goal is to add a further ten - fifteen classes by 2019. Goal 2) Originally a one-day event, the Spoon Gathering has now grown into a full week of carving, demonstrations, workshops, presentations and pre-event classes. Every year is a growing challenge. While interest grows, we plan to keep improving the event and make it as successful as possible. Our goal is to keep growing the Spoon Gathering while branding Minnesota as the center of green woodworking in the US. Goal 3) After a year of consolidation and planning, 2019 will be a time to launch new initiatives. Our goal is to implement at least one new major project in 2019. Goal 1) A review of the classes on offer in the 2019 Class Schedule will be the best way of evaluating the growth of classes. Goal 2) We actively seek feedback from event attendees though a feedback form and consultation. There is a lot of energy from a lot of people that contribute to the success of the Spoon Gathering. The interest and support are not waning. In fact, it is growing. Goal 3) Late 2018 and 2019 represent the beginning of a new phase with unlimited growth possibilities for the school. What we implement will be the evaluation.","MVAS has a record number of classes for the 2019 - 2020 teaching year. We expect to teach some 70 - 80 classes for the year ranging from one to five days.

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

Goal two Method and Evaluation: Through regular budget review, the board will evaluate the ability to to dedicate surplus funds to reserves. At the end of each fiscal year, a determination will be made about funds to be designated to reserves. Goal three Method and Evaluation: During the grant period, collect audience surveys at least once each season; use online methods to capture input from attendees; dedicate discussion time with performing arts director, board and membership on audience development. Results of feedback will be shared with board to inform future programming.

The second goal was achieved through three unrestricted donations that were directed to operating reserves, more than exceeding the goal. Our third goal, to identify audience interests, gather feedback regarding programming, and expand the methods of communicating with audiences was intended to be achieved at one of the postponed concerts, but happened at the August 2 concert instead. We announced that a survey would be available in paper copy in the lobby and that an online survey would be live at the end of the concert on our website and through Facebook. Because we did not hand them out with the programs, we only received 20 paper copy surveys back. The online survey ran for about a week following the concert and elicited 54 responses.

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

Monthly Artist's Happy Hours, quarterly Jazz Jams, and Civic Live collaborations also have contributed to audience expansion. The increased visibility has enabled Rochester Civic Theatre to attract artists of diverse backgrounds and ages. In addition to attendance figures, surveys for outreach events were used to further isolate demographic statistics. Attendance for theater camps and classes was up twenty percent from FY 2011. Community partners (including Alliance for Chicanos, Hispano, Latino Americans; and Rochester Area Family YMCA) helped identify students from challenging backgrounds to receive scholarships.

Cantus continues to work with one Twin Cities arts organization each year in a collaborative project and three Minnesota high schools. Activities within the High School Residency Program are evaluated on an on-going basis using questionnaires and direct responses from high school choral directors. The Cantus education outreach coordinator (a singer) is in contact with directors throughout the school year to ensure that the particular issues that each choir faces are being addressed by Cantus coaching. Success for the All Is Calm production with Theater Latte Da and Hennepin Theater Trust is measured on ticket sales as well as audience response and internal artistic reviews. In December 2012, the production enjoyed its highest sales ever, including three sold-out performances. Two songs were added to the production this year, and audience and artistic response was enthusiastic about the changes. 2: Cantus pulls back the curtain on how its art form is created in order to enhance public understanding of the value of the arts.

Attendees were greeted by the executive director and a board member, and told that they are welcome to come as often as they would like. As a result, there are many who came several times during the year, often bringing new friends each time.

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

We know we expanded our commitment to public service and public benefit. We exceeded our goal by 8,967 people and reached 128,967 Minnesotans with high quality arts programming. Our programming was defined as high quality by actor/University of Minnesota professor Barbara Kingsley who said, I was surprised by the level of engagement in the audience while watching 'A Deeper Look.' The young audience was riveted. I attribute this to the high level of proficiency on the part of the acting company. Michael Booth also praised CLIMB's original works saying, I was impressed by the artfulness and the message of the play, 'Lockdown.' We did a significant portion of our work in greater Minnesota and in rural Minnesota, and worked with over 800 students with special needs in addition to 815 seniors. We track this data in a spreadsheet that is completed after each residency/performance. This data helps us know the number of people served, as well as statistical data like location and number of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. We tracked the savings given to greater Minnesota schools by subtracting their actual travel cost from the original quote given for that school.","To ensure the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life, we provided programs that meet constituent needs. To do this we achieved our stated goals as follows: 1) maintained our repertory except Claudia and Huggertree; 2) brought in Yellow Troll's Treasure and The Dreaded Kneejerk from past repertoire; 3) wrote and produced a new environmental play called Space Baby, a new library play called The Gift, and two Booster Bits (now Interplays) on empathy; 4) created a training video for Anoka Hennepin School's human resources department, and did a live presentation for all their kindergarten teachers; 5) provided actors workshops on operatives, biomechanics, stage combat, unarmed stage combat, and auditioning; 6) created a corps of theatre practitioners (Michael Booth, Barbara Kingsley, James Williams, Mark Rosenwinkel, and Terry Lynn Carlson); 7) ensured actors observe each other's work at least once. 2: In order to ensure people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts, we continued to expand our commitment to public service and public benefit.

However, to keep with our commitment of making travel affordable to greater Minnesota schools, our outreach team created tours that saved schools in greater Minnesota 39% on travel costs; 5) created a new program for elders with cognitive/physical disabilities and provided 79 days of programming to 815 seniors; 6) partnered with twelve organizations to do customized residencies for people with special needs.",,888168,Other,927687,7929,"Jim Gambone, Representative Joseph Atkins, Bonnie Matson, James Olney, Bill Partlan, Milan Mockovak, Peg Wetli",1.49,"CLIMB Theatre, Inc.

20560,"Operating Support",2013,40851,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Provide non-arts organizations with access to the arts in a manner that allows people to learn and create. COMPAS will partner with at least five different types of community organizations. In all COMPAS arts residencies, participants will create at least one piece of original art. At least 80% of COMPAS performances and workshops will engage participants interactively, present a cultural perspective, and deepen their understanding of an art form. COMPAS uses a variety of evaluation practices. COMPAS staff, customers, and teaching artists all participate in measuring the results of our arts programs. Evaluations are filled out by one or more teachers or administrators at a site and by artists; COMPAS staff makes site visits; and follow-up meetings among site staff, artists, and COMPAS staff are used to discuss items not covered in the standard evaluation. Evaluations track items such as how well: 1) the art form was taught; 2) the teaching artist engaged the participants; 3) customer-specific goals were met; 4) the artist communicated with the teacher/administrator, prepared them for upcoming activities, and passed on skills they can use after the program ended. Each long-term arts program includes a final presentation or performance that lets participants demonstrate their newly developed skills in a meaningful way and allows invited community members to see the results for themselves. 2: People of many ages, ethnicities, and abilities will participate in COMPAS programs. COMPAS will engage as many (or more) individuals and organizations in the arts as were served in fiscal year 2012. At least one-third of COMPAS' roster artists will be people of color. COMPAS programs will reach individuals and organizations in all eight Minnesota congressional districts. COMPAS tracks the number of participants and sites served through its programs. Since COMPAS is a state-wide organization, it is our goal to work in all eight congressional districts. This is achieved through building on our partnerships and developing new ones with schools and other community organizations. This year COMPAS looked for artists with cultural connections to immigrant populations and new art forms. Artists added included Kim Sueoka/Lau Hawaiian Collective (Hawaiian music); Victor Yepez (Ecuadorian muralist), John Akre (animation), Gita Ghei (East Indian, copper sculpture), and Sarah Nassif (screen printing). We also added artists of African American heritage and artists doing art forms already represented, such as fiction writing and photography.","COMPAS partnered with 93 different school sites, ranging from Tri-County Schools in Kittson County to the State Academy for the Blind in Faribault; libraries (Dakota County Library system); older adult centers and residential facilities (Lyngblomsten and Ebenezer); hospitals (Children's Hospitals of Minnesota in St Paul and Minneapolis); and recreation centers and social service agencies (Boys and Girls Clubs: East Side and West Side, Mount Airy). All the work we do - whether it be residencies, performances, or workshops - is focused on extracting originality and fine arts work. We offer every site the opportunity for a community event, and our artists use this venue to share the emerging work of students. We continue to emphasize interaction in all phases of our work. Providing the cultural context to understand a piece of art, and the historical niche in which it fits, is vital. 2: COMPAS worked with people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities during fiscal year 2013. Largely due to funding challenges faced by schools, we moved from serving 48,000+ students at 151 sites, to 32,000+ students at 130 sites. By contrast, our Arts In Health Care program increased by over 20% (from 2,994 participants to 3,834). Our roster is 42% artists of color. Aside from representing major United States ethnic groups, they also come from countries such as Ghana, Indonesia, Ecuador, and India (as well as Caucasian-majority countries like Sweden and Russia). COMPAS reaches individuals in all eight Minnesota congressional districts. Examples include: 1: Owatonna, Rochester (Bamber Valley); 2: Faribault (Minnesota State Academy for the Blind, Henderson (Hilltop); 3: St Louis Park (Aquila), Hopkins (Meadowbrook); 4: St Paul (Highland Park High), Roseville (Parkview Center); 5: Minneapolis (Anwatin Middle); 6: Clear Lake (Clearview), Woodbury (Bailey); 7: Roseau, Morris; 8: Duluth (Lowell), Aitkin (Rippleside).",,1122000,Other,1162851,2000,"Cheryl Bock, Mimi Stake, Yvette Trotman, Pamela Johnson, Nasir Raja, Roderic Hernub Southall, Robert Erickson, Christina Koppang, Diane Kuhlmann, Louis Porter II, Celena Plesha, Susan Rotilie, Michelle Silverman, Irene Suddard, Theresa Murray",,"COMPAS, Inc.

We received some requests for more comedy, more familiar acts, and bigger name music stars. People valued that we brought the arts to our region and want even more than we're already programming. We take all this information and weigh it against our mission, values, and financial constraints to help create future programming. Continue to ensure that our audiences at all theatre sponsored activities (public performances, workshops, school/business/nonprofit outreach, artist interactions, etc.) experience the best we can offer.

High attendance numbers and ticket sales, positive feedback from audience polls, membership growth and filmmaker involvement were indicators of the achievement of Outcome 1. Attendance numbers and ticket sales, the easiest to evaluate, were tracked through ticketing software. Festival attendance reached the highest levels ever. Year-round attendance was stable. Audience surveys were provided to every attendee upon entrance to a film; survey results were compiled and analyzed and indicated a diversification of our audiences in terms of background, ethnicity, age, and financial status, and indicated a high level of audience satisfaction with and interest in our programming. Membership numbers reached our highest ever, indicating continued support and appreciation of our work. 2: All Minnesotans will be given opportunities to participate in and become better informed and educated through the medium of film, and the art of film is interwoven into many facets of the community and contributes to the vitality of community life. The art of filmmaking thrives in Minnesota. We will continue to expand the International Film Festival and our year-round programming. We will measure our continued success toward this goal through increased attendance and earned and contributed income, audience polls, word-of-mouth, and collaborative participation. We will also focus on providing access for new international and immigrant populations through geographically-focused series and festivals, increased partnerships and collaborations, and we will expand Minnesota made programming and exhibition in support of Minnesota artists. Increased attendance and earned income (ticket sales) indicated successful audience interest and engagement as well as more opportunities for participation. Audience surveys were provided to every attendee upon entrance to a film; survey results were compiled and analyzed and indicated a diversification of our audiences in terms of background, ethnicity, age, and financial status, and indicated a high level of audience satisfaction with and interest in our programming. Where polled, word of mouth was noted to be a high motivator for attendance. Membership numbers reached our highest ever, indicating continued support and appreciation of our work. Our revenue continued to grow in every contributed and earned income area indicating increased audience and funder interest. More numerous and successful collaborations with local institutions and with Minnesota filmmakers and artists, along with increased interest in future engagements, indicated successful engagement and collaborative participation.","400 high-quality narrative and documentary feature length and short form independent films from 67 countries, 59 of which were made by Minnesota artists, were exhibited throughout fiscal year 2013. 133 local, national and international filmmakers attended the exhibition of their works, providing valuable context for audiences. Panel discussions featuring national, international and local industry professionals underscored the inherent educational value in both narrative and documentary film. Collaborations with arts and other organizations included new partnerships with numerous Minnesota organizations such as the Guthrie Theatre, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and Partnership Resources, Inc. New programming and outreach initiatives providing arts access to Minnesota's new international populations were successfully implemented. Emphasis on local filmmakers fostered the creation and appreciation of art in Minnesota. 2: Programming, festivals, events, and our daily exhibition initiatives were expanded to provide more opportunities for Minnesotans to participate in the arts as well as to provide access to both Minnesota's new international and immigrant communities and our general audience. Initiatives included, among others, an African Series and Spotlight entitled Songs of Exile in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Film Festival, an expanded Polish FilmFest in the summer, National Theatre Live and a Gordon Parks Retrospective. Minnesota filmmaking was highlighted throughout the year, and films from Minnesota made up approximately 15% of total programming.

Public Art Review will be published and distributed twice during the year; Artist services will provide at least fifteen grants to Minnesota artists and five free workshops throughout the state; and our consulting practice will provide project management and facilitation services to at least ten agencies, businesses, or communities throughout Minnesota. To evaluate the growth of our programs, Forecast relies upon national Public Art Review advisors, our board of directors, our Programs Committee, and others. In addition to collecting quantitative data (increases/decreases in revenues; number of artists served), we consider qualitative measures, including written and oral feedback from artists who applied for and received grants. We document all projects funded and share videos of funded projects on our Web site. Executive Director Jack Becker meets with advisors at national conferences. He then shares notes with the board and staff to help make adjustments to the program. In addition to data regarding number of clients, revenues generated, and documentation of results, narrative feedback is collected from clients on a case-by-case basis. 2: Forecast will increase marketing, community outreach, and educational programming. We will add marketing staff and complete our database upgrade with more than 7,000 names. We will add an education and community engagement specialist, and we will pilot newly created resources for three educators and three teaching artists in Minnesota. Our 2-year marketing plan identified specific goals and objectives for the Marketing Officer at measurable outcomes like increasing advertising sales and consulting revenues. Beyond these quantitative measurements, we improved the quality of our relationships with advertisers, subscribers and clients. Income increased and an Advertising Sales Manager continues to work on a commission basis. We realize it takes a long time to cultivate such relationships to achieve goals. The database upgrade achieved its monetary goal as well as the critical training of staff to use and improve the Sales Force.","Forecast demonstrated growth in our three core programs: Public Art Review launched online in December; in addition to our print audience we now serve approximately 6,500 viewers per month; advertising income increased 5% while subscription income remained steady.

The theater's season will be complemented by the Live at the Guthrie concert series, the NT Live filmed presentations of National Theatre productions, the WorldStage Series featuring international companies, presentations of five Minnesota companies, and public showcases of the work of University of Minnesota/Guthrie Bachelor of Fine Arts and Guthrie Experience (Master of Fine Arts) students. The Guthrie tracks all ticketed programming through Tessitura Software, a fully-integrated database for ticketing, fundraising, marketing, reporting, customer relationship management, web transactions, custom capabilities and more. Quantitative results are measured through attendance figures, box office revenue, contributed income, broad press coverage, and the usage of ancillary programs and materials (e.g. enhanced student matinees and study guides). Qualitative results are measured through critical reviews and audience feedback, both through our marketing and development call rooms and through formal online surveys. In spring 2013, the Guthrie was selected to participate in a national study, run by Theatre Bay Area and sponsored by Doris Duke Foundation, of thirty companies nationwide surveying patrons about the intrinsic impact of live theater. 2: The Guthrie will remain open to the public every day, 362 days a year, offering diverse ticketed programming as well as free opportunities to use and explore the building. Community dialogues at the Guthrie and around the community will serve more than 14,000 people. Patrons are asked to respond to each production's ancillary programming as a part of ongoing audience surveys. For example, the Guthrie hosted a public dialogue with former NAACP Chair Julian Bond as a complement to our production of Appomattox (which examined issues of race in America from 1865 to 1965). One audience member commented, I am an older participant in the Feminist and Civil Rights Movement. It was fabulous to see Julian Bond again and hear his stories and his take on events both then and now. Also this year, internationally acclaimed theater artist Mark Rylance visited the Perpich Center for Arts Education before and after the students there saw him perform in Nice Fish at the Guthrie. Their teacher wrote: It was an inspiring and thrilling event. They learned a tremendous amount and the effects of his visits will continue to affect the understanding and abilities of our students for years to come.","The Guthrie is on track to produce and co-produce twelve productions on its three stages between September 1, 2012 and August 31, 2013. In addition, the Live at the Guthrie concert series has hosted ten local and national acts in the past year; the WorldStage Series featured the acclaimed Propeller (United Kingdom) to present two thrilling Shakespeare productions in repertory; four Minnesota companies produced their work in the Dowling Studio; and the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Bachelor of Fine Arts Class of '13 performed two plays commissioned especially for them. Through a partnership with the Film Society of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, NT Live has moved across the river to the Film Society's Saint Anthony Main Theatre. Although we are now financially separate from that series, we continue to help them promote it to our audiences. Also, in response to a projected deficit this year, the theater cut the 2013 Guthrie Experience for Actors in Training. 2: The Guthrie Theater has been open to the public 360 of the last 365 days. On Sunday, June 23, 2013, the Guthrie celebrated its 50th year with a Free Community Celebration Day. An estimated 7,000 people enjoyed sampler classes for all ages, theater games for children, a meet and greet with Ebenezer Scrooge (played by J.C. Cutler), self-guided behind-the-scenes tours featuring special exhibits in the scenic and properties shops and the recording studio, performances of Milly and Tillie by Minneapolis' Open Eye Figure Theatre, a costume exhibit featuring historical pieces from the Guthrie Costume Shop and a Costume Photo Booth.

Outcomes include increased attendance from 10,000 in 2011 to 15,000 in 2013, increased geographic range of audience, engaged response from audience, and perceived success of artistic company. These outcomes were measured quantitatively through the box office ticketing systems with attendance figures via ticket sales and zip codes attached to ticket orders, and measured qualitatively through anecdotal evidence, exit interviews, attendance figures, and feedback given by patrons. 2: Offer dynamic education and community outreach programs. Outcomes include increased enrollment and participation, deepened and expanded conversation with patrons, and increased community support and enthusiasm. As many as seventy individuals took part in each narrated set changeover, the Shakespeare lecture series had increased attendance by at least twenty percent for each lecture over 2012, and the new events were well attended. The Festival completed its summer fundraising campaign one week ahead of schedule, a rare thing in the nonprofit theater world; and this increase in donations demonstrates the increased community support and enthusiasm for Great River Shakespeare Festival's programming.","Produce clear, compelling, and relevant productions. Attendance at the Festival's professional company performances has broken records on a per show basis. 2013 productions are Twelfth Night, attendance currently at 4,775, and King Henry V, attendance currently at 3,199. This compares to 2012's record breaking season with The Two Gentlemen of Verona attendance being 4,500, and King Lear being 3,500. The 2013 season is set to break a record for highest-attended shows in the Festival's history. The organization will not reach the goal of 15,000 in total adult attendance, almost entirely due to the the organization's decision to move from three professional company productions in the 2010, 2011, and 2012 seasons, to two professional company productions in 2013. The company has succeeded in increasing the geographic range of audience, from over 50% being local and 25% coming from within a one hour drive with the last 25% arriving from beyond a one hour drive, to a 30/30/30 split of attendance in these categories. The Festival has grown the sector of audience coming from beyond the boundaries of Winona. Success of the artistic company and engaged response from the audience have been achieved. 2: Dynamic education and community outreach programs have been offered.

Specific initiatives include bringing open captioning capabilities to more theatres, providing Access tickets, offering Kid's Nights and other age specific promotions, and offering programming by diverse artists. The Trust regularly reviews the organizations that receive tickets distributed through Access 10 to ensure that we are reaching a diverse audience and we also meet with each organization to solicit feedback on their experience and determine future opportunities. One participant, Asian Media Access, asked if we could provide experiences for their teens to learn more about careers in the arts administration field. We hosted an end of the year meeting with our Critical Review students and learned from them how we can improve the program, such as including a wider variety of artistic performances for them to review and have designed our program to incorporate these suggestions. We also received positive feedback from attendees of Broadway Confidential, our free series of behind-the-scenes talks by theatre experts. 2: To ensure that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are, the Trust will work with local theatre companies to present new and retooled works in the New Century Theatre. Minnesota artists will be showcased, and the Trust will assist with marketing and production. We received positive feedback on our first year as a Minnesota Fringe Festival venue, with their executive director Jeff Larson commenting, Thanks again for both hosting and sponsoring the Fringe. It was a great year for the festival and the New Century was an especially successful venue. There were multiple sellouts of a space that's on the big side for us and a lot of publicity from Mayor Rybak coming to the show about him twice. The room couldn't have worked better for us. After evaluating our inaugural seasons with both Theater Latte Da and Minneapolis Musical Theatre, we launched the second season for both. Broadway Re-Imagined with Theater Latte Da returns with Cabaret and will star the acclaimed Sally Wingert and Minneapolis Musical Theatre's second season will feature three shows including the Twin Cities debut of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, nominated for two Tony Awards.","To ensure that people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts, the Trust engaged approximately 5,115 people with our education and community engagement initiatives. Through our Access 10 Program, we distributed nearly 2,000 free tickets to human service non-profit organizations coupled with participation in artist workshops and tours. Our Critical Review Program offered 35 high school students from diverse backgrounds around the metro area the opportunity to attend touring Broadway shows, write reviews and attend behind-the-scenes workshops with Twin Cities theatre professionals. War Horse Family Day, in partnership with In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, taught fifty children and their families how to build and operate their own horse puppets. We also fielded sixty one ASL interpretation requests for shows including Les Miserables and Wicked and will continue to offer listening devices at all of our productions and open captioning at select performances. 2: To ensure that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to whom we are, Hennepin Theatre Trust worked with local theatre companies to present new and retooled works at the New Century Theatre. We concluded the first season in our partnership with Minneapolis Musical Theatre with a three week run of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard featuring an all-local cast and crew. Through our outreach, the New Century Theatre was also chosen as a Minnesota Fringe Festival venue for the first time and hosted eleven shows. The Trust underwrote part of the cost and acted as a sponsor for the event.

Outcomes include Highpoint’s artist co-op remaining a vital component of the organization that allows Minnesota artists to continue to produce and exhibit work in a professional print shop.

The abilities of the ensembles vary season to season as singers move from one ensemble to the next. The artistic staff selects first semester music based on what they expect the singers to be able to achieve. Second semester repertoire is selected by the conductor with the goal of providing music that will be challenging to the ensemble and provide the means to stretch their abilities as they learn more skills. By choosing carefully from a variety of genres, styles and composers, the artistic staff ensures the singers are challenged and are able to learn through the challenge. This evaluation is ongoing by the artistic director, including a discussion at the end of the season with each conductor, specifically addressing repertoire. All repertoire selections are reviewed by the artistic director to ensure the appropriate level of difficulty and learning opportunities. 2: Honors Choirs will continue to hold the highest standard of excellence while recognizing the importance of the organization’s affordability to singers and their families. The staff and board members regularly reviewed the concert attendance figures as well as the level of enrollment as indicators of the health of the organization and the excellence of the program. Additionally, we conducted a post-season survey to determine the value of the program to our families. Data suggests that families view tuition as on-par with their other activities and a good/excellent value to their singer.","The 2012-13 season featured a variety of repertoire including many musical styles, cultures, and languages. Challenging repertoire included music of composers such as Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Brahms, alongside pieces by Rutter, Papoulis, Clausen, and Leavitt.

Singers in all four ensembles had the opportunity to audition for solo parts, and perform outside the traditional concert setting including school outreach tours, public venue performances, and a major tour to New York City. Additionally, Concert Choir performed complex repertoire collaboratively on two separate occasions this season: Rutter's Gloria, with adult choir Choral Arts Ensemble, and Rene Clausen's The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere performed at Lincoln Center in New York City along with musicians and singers from across the country. 2: Scholarships provided funding to all singers with need, including assistance to Concert Choir singers traveling to New York City. We added several fundraising options to help singers defray the cost of the New York City tour. Proceeds from both of these fundraisers were credited 100% to singers' accounts, and many of the singers participated. A focus was put on utilizing volunteers from within our membership, resulting this past season in the formation of a regular group of helpers for concerts, publicity, and outreach activities. Utilizing volunteers keeps our administrative hours low, while capitalizing on the many talented individuals in our midst.

Outcomes include increased educational content for audiences of the Center's programs; increased average attendance at concerts and events; new audience members served; and increased participation at Center events beyond its walls (Festival, Social Club, etc.) Success for Musical Notes was measured by increased attendance as this new initiative became established. We achieved standing room only at two events. We tried to use evaluation forms but did not collect enough to be helpful. Box office reports are used to track attendance at concerts. Our biggest disappointment this year was the Arts Festival; artists and attendees were surveyed to try to determine the future of this event. 2: Reach diverse audiences through targeted program development and effective promotion and communication so that people of varied ages, ethnicities, interests, and abilities are served by the center. Outcomes include broadened ages and ethnicities of participants (artists, audiences, others); increased number of strategic partnerships created to reach new audiences; increased number of people engaged through outreach efforts. We track how many tickets are used by the local food shelves. It is gratifying that the people who take these tickets do attend the events -- rarely are seats left empty. We do the same for Project Success. We follow up with the coordinators/case workers to get their perspective on the value of this effort. We are at the beginning of using social media but are able to see increased activity on our Web site.","Increased educational component of arts programs by holding four Musical Notes events (preconcert talks by concert musicians or experts in the field); added didactics to group exhibitions explaining the jurying process and including comments from jurors next to individual pieces that won awards.

Registration information allows us to accurately track student enrollment in on-site and online classes and conferences.

Outcomes include a 10% growth in our library usership and a 20% growth in our educational offerings in the next year. We will build Minnesota's local, national, and international reputation as an important cultural center, making Minnesotans aware of the importance of contemporary art to our collective identity. Through support from the State Arts Board and a project grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, we firmly established our library's visiting art and curator lecture series. Our artists and curators presented lectures and engaged with the public on a monthly basis. After a number of record attendance lectures most notably a lecture by St Paul-based painter Bruce Tapola, where more than 100 attendees filled our space to over capacity, we decided to engage in a mini-capital campaign in the fall of 2012 to expand the library space. After a two month campaign, $50,000 was raised to expand the library to more than double its size. We continue to see high demand for these educational opportunities. We also formed a partnership with the University of Minnesota and local-publisher Univocal press to bring French philosopher Francois Laruelle to the Twin Cities for a series of workshops and talks at Midway and at the Weisman Art Museum. We are continuing to identify new opportunities to engage our audience both through our library's activities and our exhibition programming. In the summer of 2013, we hired our first full-time librarian to oversee much of this activity. 2: Midway Contemporary Art will originate three to five world premiere exhibitions from a diverse group of artists from Germany, Scotland, Canada, Sweden, and elsewhere. The artists were very enthusiastic regarding their experience at Midway. They continue to remark on the positive nature of the support they receive, both financial and also via our tremendous staff. We are continuing to identify new ways to provide this critical support to these artists to enable them to realize ambitious projects where otherwise they might not find the light of day. This is an increasingly vital component to how we view our core values at Midway. These values translate into growing a broader appreciation for Minnesota’s role in supporting the creation of new cultural value on both a local and international stage.","We grew our audience and deepened our local constituents' understanding and appreciation of the arts through our library, exhibitions, and educational programming. Library usage grew by an estimated 15%, and participation at educational offerings in the library and offsite events grew by 25%. 2: Midway originated five world premiere exhibitions from a diverse group of thirteen artists from Minneapolis, Berlin, Glasgow, Brussels, San Paolo, Nova Scotia, New York, Tehran/Berlin, Frankfurt, and Vancouver. Much of the work was commissioned by Midway, while in one group exhibition work was on loan from major museums and private collections from New York, Beirut, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, and other cities. As part of this exhibition season, we instituted a formal artist stipend policy of providing the artists with $5,000 in addition to covering all expenses including the production, shipping, travel, per diem, and accommodations related to the exhibitions.

Celebrate Lutheran contributions to arts and culture through performance; train a new generation of practitioners through education programs; and introduce new audiences through outreach activities. Program evaluation takes place on an ongoing basis. We measure success based on quantitative factors like enrollment and retention, and qualitative factors like overall participant experience and musical integrity of performances. We conduct written surveys of participants in our larger activities, and have staff members available after every performance for informal feedback. This information is compiled by the Executive Director and presented to the Artistic and Program Committee of the Lutheran Music Program Board of Directors. 2: Create a welcoming community that intentionally engages musicians and music appreciators of all ages and backgrounds. Elderhostel retreats, middle school choral camps, At Home events, partnerships, and hymn festivals create thriving environments around a shared musical heritage. Teens are embraced as we teach compassion and celebrate others' successes. As noted above, written surveys are an important evaluation tool. In addition to assessing everything from cafeteria food to performance facilities, constituents are invited to provide feedback on our commitment to nurturing community (one of our core organizational values). In fiscal year 2013, program participants overwhelmingly indicated that community is one of our greatest strengths. As in previous years, teens who attended Lutheran Summer Music Academy reported that our emphasis on camaraderie over competition helped them build self-confidence and grow musically. Older adults who participated in the senior adult retreat expressed gratitude for the warm welcome they received from Lutheran Summer Music Academy staff members, particularly accommodations like large print programs, transportation assistance, etc. Finally, because our goal is to welcome musicians of all faith traditions, religious diversity is an important indicator of success. In fiscal year 2013, 25% of Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival participants self-identified with a religion other than Lutheranism.","During fiscal year 2013, Lutheran Music Program successfully presented or co-presented workshops and performances; two hymn festivals; one middle school choral camp; one senior adult retreat; and the Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival. Our performance and training programs served Minnesota residents of all faith backgrounds and introduced participants from across the country to an important part of Minnesota's cultural heritage. We're pleased to report strong enrollment and positive participant feedback for activities taking place in fiscal year 2013. Overall, constituents indicated that both performance and educational activities presented by Lutheran Music Program were engaging, informative musical experiences. 2: In fiscal year 2013, we served people of all ages, abilities, economic backgrounds, and religious traditions. Our middle school choral camp took place in the Midway neighborhood of St Paul, while Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival served high school musicians from communities like St Hilaire, Gaylord, and Motley. During fiscal year 2013, Lutheran Music Program offered all of our performances free-of-charge and open to the public. We also provided significant scholarship support and discount opportunities for tuition-based programs like Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival. Finally, Lutheran Music Program continues to encourage people of all ages to join together in harmony; last year, our hymn festivals featured Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival alumni side-by-side with older adults.

We evaluated our success through post-production evaluation surveys, the completion of which was required of all contracted artistic personnel. The quantitative portion of the survey asked personnel to score the quality of lights, set, overall production, etc., on a scale from one to five. The results were compared to previous surveys. The qualitative portion asked designers to talk about their experience, how they felt about their work as part of the production team, and to give suggestions for improvement. We found the qualitative input we received to be much more useful than the quantitative results of the surveys. 2: Broaden audience by increasing individual attendees by 10% through the expansion and refinement of current marketing plans and strategies. Outcome success was evaluated by the number of individual attendees. We evaluated the success or failure of the planning efforts through staff and board conversations, both group and individual.","Lyric Arts increased its total production budget by 39%. Stipends for contracted directors, designers, and other artistic personnel increased by 42%, making our rates more equitable with what is offered in the rest of the seven-county metro area and allowing us to hire highly qualified personnel for every production in our season. We were also able to spend more on supplies and equipment. Based on feedback from the artists involved in the season, many of whom were of a higher caliber than in previous seasons, artistic excellence increased substantially. That same feedback pointed out opportunities for improvement in our production process. This led to changes in our artistic staff and a reorganization that will lay the ground work for future growth and success. 2: Lyric Arts saw no substantial increase in the number of individual attendees from year to year through the expansion of current marketing plans. In the evaluation of our limited success this area, it was noted that while the expansion of marketing plans was easy to implement, refinement of the plans was more difficult to accomplish due to the structure (and the very small size) of our staff. As a result, Lyric Arts has reorganized the administrative staff to create departments for specialists instead of collaboration between generalists.

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

The Regional Artist and Community Engagement Initiative builds programmatic collaborations through outreach and celebrates some of our region's most talented artists. In 2012, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum is organizing a related curatorial initiative called the 2012 Minnesota Photographer Series. Both of these initiatives aim to bring Minnesota art and artists to communities in ways that are relevant and meaningful. Operating support helps ensure a high quality and ambitious exhibition program at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum by helping to pay for professional staff and exhibition related expenses. In fiscal year 2013, the Museum facilitated 12 temporary exhibitions, four of which had the work of Minnesota artists and more that had Minnesota content. Evaluating the success of temporary exhibitions is qualitative and quantitative. In fiscal year 2013, the Museum utilized its qualitative evaluation form which includes social, educational, artistic, and economic benefit categories. An example of this evaluation is that the Minnesota photography exhibition Craig Blacklock's Lake Superior had noted artistic quality, it had raised awareness of a social issue (caring for environment), and furthered artistic training through a master's workshop offered at low cost. The primary quantitative indicator is attendance. In 2012, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum reached record attendance, in large part due to the success of exhibitions during fiscal year 2013. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. The Minnesota Marine Art Museum has high accessibility standards. The facilities meet or exceed accessibility standards and the Museum operates an access program called SPARK!, which is for individuals with dementia and their caregivers. The Museum resides in a college town, and, in an effort to meet the needs of area students, maintains Free Students Tuesdays. Further accessibility goals have been defined in the Museum's Strategic Plan and will continue to be sought. Museum Visitor Experience staff at the Museum regularly communicate to the Executive Director the increase in student visits, as well as the regular usage of the Museum's wheelchairs, which get utilized 4 - 5 times per week. The Museum has over 90 volunteers that gather feedback from museum visitors during all hours of operation- both good comments and criticisms - that are also communicated with the Executive Director and staff. These comments are used for decision making purposes and to ensure the continuation of meeting community needs. To evaluate the continued success of its Free Student Tuesday policy, the Museum tracks these visitors and serves over 1,000 admission free students annually.","Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are: The Minnesota Marine Art Museum continues to be successfully dedicated to working with Minnesota artists, educating about their work, and connecting the public with them in meaningful ways. In fiscal year 2013, operating funds supported the exhibition of 15 living Minnesota artists in four exhibitions, including the exhibition 150 Years on Minnesota's Waters. That exhibition was a collaboration with the Minnesota Historical Society and was fully sponsored by the fiscal year 2013 Operating Support. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts: All Minnesota Marine Art Museum exhibitions, including those supported by fiscal year 2013 Operating Support, meet or exceed accessibility standards for people with disabilities. There are no stairs in or around the Museum's facilities, and curators utilize best practices for accessibility in exhibition design. The Museum is able to offer free wheelchairs and has a stroller for families visiting exhibitions. Furthermore, the Museum maintains a low admission fee and has a Free Student Tuesdays policy. Maintaining our Free Students Tuesdays is vital because Winona is a college town, with three universities comprising about 1/3 of the local population.

Measures for written assessment included tracking the number and demographics of student/teacher participants; artist/student/teacher contact hours; graduation standards met via demonstrations of learning and lesson plans/other materials used; goals and objectives reflecting planning; daily progress towards objectives; evidence of arts integration into broader curriculum; and activities engaging students in creating, performing, and responding to arts. Outcome assessment for college students may be seen in ease on stage, success in portrayal of characters, and engagement as a professional singer post-graduation.","Provoke public discussion about themes germane to Minnesotans through a series of public events and partnerships, connecting opera to both regular attendees as well as to people who otherwise might not attend.

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

The second annual Family and Intergenerational Weekend will be hosted in October 2012 and enrollment in the course offerings will increase by 10%. Family programming elements will be integrated into each of our three major events to expand family involvement from our local community. At each of our major events, surveys are distributed to event attendees as a means of public evaluation. Standard written student and instructor evaluations are part of every course on campus. Regular conversations between instructors, staff, and volunteers explore life in the classroom every day. Building community is at the heart of North House's mission, which is why staff actively engage with students and visitors. Our lead staff rotate in the role of campus host directly connecting with students and gaining honest, direct feedback. Whether during the student welcome on their first day, in the school bookstore, or at the weekly student pizza bake, students are encouraged to share their ideas so that staff may work to improve courses for future participants. 2: North House Folk School will build momentum for its year-round coursework to nurture the thriving arts community on Minnesota's North Shore. Enrollment in catalog courses will increase, generating 6% growth in earned tuition revenue. Public outreach regarding our educational mission will increase membership and annual giving support by 10%. North House staff tracked all course catalog participants and membership, comparing last year's data to this year's numbers. North House's Programs Committee - made up of instructors, staff, board, and community members - meets monthly to discuss enrollment reports and strategize around course programming. Similarly, North House's Development Committee - composed of staff, board, and community members - meets on a monthly basis to review membership reports, financial summaries, and design outreach strategies.","In October 2012, North House offered its second annual Family Weekend featuring 10 family-oriented courses, a family contra dance, and a family storytelling session. A total of 48 students participated At North House's Unplugged event, families participated in a free community concert and cloth waulking demonstration with featured speaker Norman Kennedy. June's Wooden Boat Show included a family contra dance, the annual Solstice Puppet Show, and a new family storytelling session. Over 1,000 people attended the Puppet Show. Over 30 local youth and parents/adults participated as performers. During Northern Fiber Retreat, North House co-hosted a family program with the local Fiber Guild, resulting in participation from 15 adult-child pairs.

For example, in February 2013, 244 students were on campus, exceeding late summer 2012 enrollment.

As an organization, we depend heavily on a deeply engaged board and committee structure that involves many people in programming decisions and assessment. During the past year, we instituted a survey-based evaluation system that utilizes multiple mechanisms to secure broader opinions. Our first surveys were in paper form because they were aimed at an older demographic that does not regularly utilize electronic media. Subsequent surveys have utilized email technology, building on our database of more than 17,000 patron emails.

In our visual arts center, we have a consistent process of securing participant evaluations of every class and activity. The results are used to evaluate instructors, course content, and pricing. We also use social media to solicit reactions to exhibitions and other visual art work and utilize a voluntary log book at public events.","During the 2012-2013 season, we saw an increase in fine arts events, particularly choral events, a direct result of new sound equipment. The 2011-12 season hosted 2 choral events, the 2012-13 season saw 3 events, and the 2013-14 season has nine choral and four orchestral events scheduled. Our dance offerings have also increased to four from two the year before. As a percentage of total programming presented by the Paramount, fine arts events rose to 22%, from 16% the year before. The 2013-14 season features 29% fine arts programming. 2: The visual arts department is actively exploring the possibility of institutionalizing the public art component of our programming. We have allocated ten hours of staff time per week to researching commission opportunities and preparing proposals. We secured public and private funding to complete a 14-foot glass mosaic sculpture created by several artist partners and numerous community volunteers in the heart of downtown St Cloud.

Outcome: diverse new audiences throughout the state of Minnesota will have the opportunity to experience Ragamala’s unique artistic work and encounter the arts and culture of India. Minnesota’s Indian community will have the opportunity to see its own artistic traditions presented as a vital part of our state’s vibrant cultural environment. This will support Minnesota State Arts Board objectives: the arts thrive in Minnesota and people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Ragamala evaluates the quality of our programs based on feedback from participants and community partners. We evaluate our ability to reach new audiences and integrate the arts into the community in new ways by examining attendance, demographics of attendees, and whether or not we have engaged new partners. New partners in 2012-13 included the Northfield Senior Wellness Center, Division Street Dance School, four Minnesota elementary schools and local amateur percussionist Balaji Chandran. Feedback included, I really loved it when [students] immediately reacted with their hands when the demonstration explained how words are formed by the hands in the dance, (South Elementary, St Peter, Minnesota) Professional, exciting to watch, and related well to children.

(Cowles Center Distance Learning Program). 2: To continue to expand our outreach programs, which bring our work directly to Minnesota communities through free performances, workshops, and residencies at K-12 schools, universities, libraries, museums, parks, senior citizens’ homes, and workplaces. Outcome: audiences underserved due to geographic, socioeconomic, or perceptual barriers will have first-hand arts experiences and be exposed to the arts and culture of India. Youth and adults will learn about the arts and culture of India and build skills necessary to communicate across boundaries of ethnicity, nationality, and religion. This will support Minnesota State Arts Board objectives: the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life and people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts.

Approximately 14% identified as Indian, 6% African American, 3% Native American, 3% Middle Eastern, 66% White, and 9% selected Other.","The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life: Ragamala is nationally recognized as a model for creative community outreach. In addition to extensive activities in K-12 schools, we look beyond this traditional model in order to weave our presence into the fabric of Minnesota communities in innovative ways. We partner with museums, libraries, senior centers, cultural festivals, hospitals, public agencies, places of worship and workplaces, custom-designing activities to suit the needs of each constituency. Highlights of the 2012-13 season include dance workshops for the Northfield Senior Wellness Center and Division Street Dance School in Northfield, an informal concert/jam session by our world renowned artists with community-based South Asian percussionists, and a performance by advanced students of the Ragamala School at the City of Minneapolis' Secret City/Hidden Places festival, as well as thirteen educational performances in K-12 schools in the Greater Twin Cities and St Peter. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate: Ragamala actively works to bring our programs directly to audiences that are underserved due to geographic, socioeconomic, cultural, physical, and perceived barriers. 2012-13 examples include: 234 people took advantage of highly subsidized tickets to Sacred Earth at the Bloomington Center for the Arts, providing a high-quality, affordable and geographically accessible experience to suburban audiences in a difficult economy. 375 youth and seniors (from four 4 local schools and Sabes Jewish Community Center) attended a free matinee and took advantage of free busing. Educational performances in Minnesota schools reached an additional 2,734.

Actual visitorship was much more conservative than originally expected. A natural drop in museum engagement is expected after a major grand reopening but that was not factored into fiscal year 2013 goals. Staff changes, including departures and maternity leaves among education, marketing, and curatorial staff, also heavily impacted our fiscal year 2013 audience goals.

Despite this new reality, Weisman Art Museum welcomed more than 178,000 visitors (55,800 onsite and 122,593 online) and met our campus and community collaboration goal with 53 partnerships by yearend. In fiscal year 2013, Weisman Art Museum introduced a new program evaluation process to create a more comprehensive review of activities. Feedback is captured through paper surveys at public programs and electronic surveys sent to audience members and to teachers following events and educational programs. These surveys measure the success of a program through quantifiable and anecdotal visitor experiences, simultaneously creating a profile of our visitors by obtaining demographic information as well as measuring individual participation in the arts community.

At midyear, we adjusted our ambitions to reflect the more conservative realities previously mentioned. In addition to directly engaging 37 Minnesota educators, 2,547 email announcements were sent to Weisman educator email subscribers and to the Art Educators of Minnesota listserve. An Artful Writing Workshop announcement was sent to 903 Weisman education subscribers and to 450 Art Educators of Minnesota subscribers. A Summer Teen Architecture Workshop invitation reached 744 Weisman education subscribers and Art Educators of Minnesota subscribers. 450 email subscribers received an invitation to customize their Weisman/classroom experience during fiscal year 2013. Through Weisman Art Museum's new evaluation process, the museum is better able to determine current audiences; establish methods of diversifying and improving visitorship; tailor programs as necessary to fit specific audience interests and needs; and address program flaws and visitor concerns. These approaches allow a more complete view of Weisman visitor experiences, and more accurately highlight opportunities for improvement.","55,800 onsite visitors, and 122,593 online visitors to the Museum. 53 partners and collaborators participated in planning and delivery of programs. 2: 37 educators participated in topical educator workshops, pre-teacher licensing, University courses, and student scholarships. 439 community 18-34 year olds participated in developing skills relating to museum work and the arts through courses, connoisseurship, arts administration, and internships.",,2635061,Other,2728639,93578,"Steve Apfelbacher, Frank Bates, Woodrow Byun, Fuller Cowles, Jennifer David, Cy DeCosse, Kristin Devine, Noah Eisenberg, Robert Elde, Rolf Engh, Thomas Fisher, Jon Hallberg, Gina King, Barry Kudrowitz, Anne Labovitz, Brian Longe, Emily Macy, Julie Matonich, Jose Peris, Shelly Regan, Gerald Rinehart, Philip Rosenbloom, Matthew Russo, Gary Smaby, Linda Soranno, Charlie Wagner, Kimberly Walsh, Deb Weiss, Perry Wilson",,"Regents of the University of Minnesota-Weisman Art Museum AKA Weisman Art Museum","State Government","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Lyndel,King,"Regents of the University of Minnesota-Weisman Art Museum AKA Weisman Art Museum","333 E River Rd",Minneapolis,MN,55455-0367,"(612) 625-9678 ",kingx001@umn.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Clay, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Hennepin, Le Sueur, Mower, Olmsted, Pine, Polk, Ramsey, St. Louis, Waseca, Washington, Winona, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-253,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

Our goal is to grow the overall participation rate of the off-campus community by 30% by 2016. We will be able to measure this gain through ticket reports, residency evaluations, and attendance rates at public events. Fine Arts Programming tracks attendance at performances, residency activities, and exhibitions. We saw a sharp increase over projected attendance rates, due primarily to our partnership with GREAT Theater. In fiscal year 2013, Fine Arts Programming hired an outside consultant to conduct focus groups of off-campus community members. We then implemented marketing changes, such as increased branding ads and more aggressive messaging of our lower ticket prices, based upon the feedback, in order to attract more off-campus participation. Sales at several Saint John's University performances in fiscal year 2013 came in lower than projected and, to address this Saint John's University has made other changes, such as adjusting performance times and booking larger, more recognizable names.","Example of strategies implemented to meet the goal of 30% participation increase of off-campus community include: Fine Arts Programming developed a strategic partnership with Great River Educational Arts Theater that benefits both organizations. Great River Educational Arts Theater has a large, loyal regional audience and partnering with them has created a symbiotic relationship. We are good fiscal partners for Great River Educational Arts Theater, providing venue and marketing support without charging a rental fee, and presenting them in our venues helps us draw off-campus audiences into our spaces and familiarize them with attending performances at Saint John's University.

The Schubert Club education and outreach activities are integral to future performers and audience members. Project CHEER will provide free piano and guitar lessons to over 100 inner-city students with limited access; our Composer Mentorship Program provides hands-on learning experiences with live composers for high school students who have the desire and gift to compose but no access; our six Family Concerts will provide toddlers to mature audiences up-close and personal experiences with professional artists; ten masterclasses, public school assemblies, and nursing home performances will reach hundreds without access to live performances. At the conclusion of the school year, students in Project CHEER all participated in a recital, which was attended by families and friends of the students. The audience enthusiasm was an indicator of the success of the program. A written evaluation from the parents of the participants was requested, and their assessment gave Project CHEER high marks with great value for their children, families and community. CHEER gave these young people a productive, safe, and creative after-school program that gives them skills that they will carry with them throughout their lives. The Composer Mentorship Program required a written evaluation from the students, their families and the members of Pavia Winds. The evaluation assesses the impact of the program and helps The Schubert Club understand where improvement can take place. Written letters and online feedback from the teachers and students gave us a solid assessment of the value of the assemblies, workshops and family events. 2: Provide best-in-class performances through our International Artist Series and Music in the Park Series concerts. Offer a broad range of professional musical artists in recital through our five performances in our International Artist Series, and present the world's best-in-class performers for our audiences. Engage top chamber music artists from Minnesota and around the world to perform on our Music in the Park Series. Through these two series, we look to increase our subscribers and single ticket buyers through enhanced media and communications, in addition to creating the subscription concerts with a wide variety of artists that will attract diverse audiences. Measurement tools that indicate success are strong ticket sales, critical reviews, and most importantly, online surveys that are sent to all ticket buyers after each performance. The average rate of response to our survey is 25%, far above the national average of only 3%. This rate of return proves that the arts are vital to who we are in our community, and people care enough to participate in evaluating our programming. Also, the feedback has been consistently high in all categories, validating the quality of performances that The Schubert Club presents, and the importance of keeping our ticket prices affordable. ","The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life: The Schubert Club brings the arts into the community, enhancing the experience for all who participate. This was done through concerts, education, and museum programs. We served over 100 students, grades 3 - 12 through Project CHEER, our free piano and guitar lesson program at the Martin Luther King Center in the Selby-Dale neighborhood in St Paul. Four high school students from around the area worked for an entire year with our composer-in-residence, learning from each other and a professional composer. They each wrote new compositions for local ensemble, Pavia Winds, with public performances on our Courtroom Concert Series. School assemblies, workshops, family concerts and collaborative concerts reached over 2,000 people of all ages. Each of these activities focused on different groups of people within our community. 2: Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are: The Schubert Club strives to provide the best-in-class musical performances for audiences in the Twin Cities. Through increased marketing efforts including print, online, radio, television, and social media outlets, we have increased our subscription and single ticket buyers for both our International Artist Series and Music in the Park Series. Additionally, we partnered with Accordo, the professional string ensemble made up of the first-chair players from the Minnesota Orchestra and Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra for four concerts in Minneapolis over the course of the season. The concerts were sold-out, exceeding our projections financially and audience numbers.

Our vision is of a true factory for art; not a sterile, passive gallery but a vibrant active place for creative experiment and innovation, unlocking the artistic potential of artists, volunteers and audiences. In 2012, we presented two projects produced in residence: Andy Ducett's Why We Do This, and Amber Ginsberg and Joe Madrigal's FLO. In addition, our annual submission show, Hedge Magic, featured the works of seven artists, including two from Minnesota, and the volunteer biennial, Known Unknowns, featured the work of thirty-four Minnesota artists.

To support the Walker's Strategic Plan, regular assessment remains critical to all program and business functions, and ensures broad-based understanding of artist and audience engagement amongst all staff. To quantify annual accomplishments beyond financial measures, the Walker documents key Measures of Success within the areas of artistic leadership and innovation, audience engagement, civic commitment, and stewardship. In the area of artistic leadership and innovation, the measures track artist engagements across the disciplines, Walker-organized exhibitions and presentations, publications, commissions, premieres, artist residencies, traveling programs, interdisciplinary collaborations, and awards. These achievements are shared publicly each year through the Walker's online Annual Report. 2: The Walker is dedicated to advancing participation in the arts and active audience engagement. Outcomes: broaden, deepen, and diversify engagement with audiences. Using Google Analytics, Walker staff measures growth in mnartists.org membership, the number of active members, artworks uploaded or linked, visitors, page views and visit length, and visitors' specific interactions with the site features. Member and artist surveys are also conducted through email, community forums, and in person to hear how well mnartists.org serves them. The staff tracks how well mnartists.org spurs critical conservation about the arts in Minnesota and increased exposure for its artists via the press.

Weavers Guild of Minnesota plans to focus on re-imagining what it means to be a member (supporter, student, or instructor) of our organization. Goals: remain relevant today and in the future; study and develop a revitalized benefits program; use technology to reach and communicate with an expanded community; and create an ongoing channel of support to ensure sustained arts programming. Outcomes: report data numbers, proximity/location, and demographics. Membership activities respondents were most interested in following: 93-96% classes and workshops; 22-32% member meetings with speakers; 7-32% Fiber Fair; and 11-29% study groups. While classes and workshops and Fiber Fair were also mentioned, our strong education program and Fiber Fair will continue; a core curriculum review is being led by the Education Committee, and the annual member sale will take place at the Northrup King Building in 2013. To address the other major areas of interest the Membership Chair developed a timeline and objectives to meet the following needs: with the surveys capturing data related to skills/abilities for participation and more weekend activities, Weavers Guild has changed the name of its study groups to ‘interest groups’; developed a new group that will focus on building relationships with newer weavers or those not familiar with our activities. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Weavers Guild of Minnesota plans to continue its strong educational programming. Goals: explore satellite locations and have a broader presence through the metro area; increase capacity and audience reach (students, individuals, artists) in all ages and skill levels in communities that normally do not have access to our unique art form and resources. Outcomes: increase accessibility and engage underserved populations through data tracking, resource development, and evaluation. Weavers Guild of Minnesota's Operations Manager has completed Associate Management Software training, imported old database information, and launched the organization's new Associate Management Software system and website. These initiatives also included planning for communications, such as the weekly online member newsletter, The Draft, and student and instructor course details. Members and broader audience can now register for classes and workshops online. Weavers Guild members also have the capacity to log-in to renew their membership, update contact information, or access the member directory. We formed an ad hoc task group to develop and plan the content for a members-only forum and section of the Web site. Highlights of this unique function will allow for more direct communication and a photo sharing feature, as well as a platform for individuals to request/discuss ride-sharing options or who is interested in forming a private group lesson. A Web cam can reach others remotely for meetings or informational sessions.","Weavers Guild of Minnesota's plan of re-imagining what it means to be a member resulted in designing two online surveys and collecting data from newer and former members. We received responses from 15% of newer members and 10% from former members. The survey asked a series of questions related to joining/membership in the organization, interest(s), organization involvement/participation, interactions with social networking, communication, and proximity/location. When asked, Why did you join? respondents mentioned the following (highest to lowest): to learn about weaving, spinning and dyeing, to connect with other people interested in fiber [arts], class tuition discount, and [interest in] equipment. We learned that 55% of respondents registered for a class at the same time they signed up to be a member, while 38% took a class(es) before joining the organization. Demographics: 93% female, and 7% male; Age: 46%: 46-60; 39%: 61-75; 13%: 30-45. 2: Weavers Guild of Minnesota's plan to remain relevant today and in the future involved using technology to reach and communicate with its community. In March 2013, we acquired and implemented Associate Management Software, and other supporting technology to upgrade our database and that system's capacity to interact with our Web site and accounting software. With an increase in online readership and a growing and active Web audience, Weavers Guild has technologically positioned itself to move the organization in a positive, engaging direction. The efficiencies and integration of these systems frees up staff to benefit other organization programs (Outreach, Education, Membership and Development).",,126185,Other,140683,14498,"Donna Gravesen, Peggy Baldwin, Geri Retzlaff, Cathie Mayr, Ellen Richard, Peter Withoff, Steve Pauling, Jere Thompson, Jackie Lind, Gayle Groebner, Jan Hayman",,"Weavers Guild of Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Linda,Hansen,"Weavers Guild of Minnesota","3000 University Ave SE Ste 110",Minneapolis,MN,55414,"(612) 436-0463 ",lhansen@weaversguildmn.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Blue Earth, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, McLeod, Nicollet, Nobles, Olmsted, Ramsey, Rice, St. Louis, Scott, Sherburne, Stearns, Wadena, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-287,"Lawrence Burnett: Choral director and professor of music, Carleton College.; Sunny Chanthanouvong: Executive director, Lao Assistance Center.

To accomplish this we would need to recruit 4 to 6 directors, review their productions choices, pick the plays, apply for rights, and schedule the dates. We need to be ready to produce at least 4 productions a year if the school referendum passes, or two productions if it doesn't pass. 2. We want to increase the number of concerts to 15 per year. 3. To increase our attendance to an average of 100 attendees per at theatrical performances and 100 attendees per concerts. We will accomplish this with a variety of offerings of high quality entertainment. One thing that our Operations Support funding has allowed us to do is keep better track of our impact in the community. We now have an established baseline for theater usage based upon 2014 and 2015 numbers. We have used these numbers to set realistic and achievable goals for 2016-2017. Our goals are numerical and we will easily be able to evaluate whether or not we have reached them by keeping track of attendance and participation at events and by comparing 2016-2017 numbers with records from 2014-2015.","1) We put on 3 out of 4 planned productions since the school was delayed in moving out. Originally, we had planned to install the new LED lights in September and have a November production. Since the school was using the facility we only had time to install the lights. 2) Fifteen concerts per year has proven to be an unrealistic goal. We only had two concerts. Our intention was to have concerts on the lower stage on weekends when the productions were still in rehearsal, closing off the upper stage that would have the set in construction. Our problem is that most bands require both levels of the stage. 3) In 2016 we averaged 100 attendees per theatrical performance with our summer productions. In 2017 our June play Red, White and Tuna averaged less than 30 and our August play 3 Murders and it’s only Monday averaged 70. In February of 2017 we averaged only 40 per night. Concert attendance varied greatly. Well known bands that have a strong Facebook and email following attained the 100 mark. However we booked some lesser known bands and attendance was around 40.

Up to 20 percent of this appropriation is available for land-treatment projects and practices that benefit drinking water.","The primary outcome is sealing approximately 75 unused wells as the City works to connect those residences to a public water supply. A secondary outcome is education to residents on the importance of protecting our groundwater.",,,,"LOCAL LEVERAGED FUNDS",,,,0.07183908,"Olmsted County","Local/Regional Government",,,"Protecting groundwater aquifers in Olmsted County is critical as the community continues to experience high growth. The City of Oronoco has been committed to protecting its groundwater and drinking water supply as City officials have worked over the past 50 years to secure funding for community wastewater and municipal water systems to serve the community. Oronoco is the largest unsewered community in the State of MN. In the summer of 2017, the City received funding from the State Legislature to complete a new wastewater study and alternatives analysis, and ultimately it was decided the community would build a new wastewater treatment plant. Oronoco secured placement on the Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWRF) and the Clean Water Revolving Fund (CWRF) 2020 Intended Use Plan (IUP), completed an application for a Point Source Implementation Grant (PSIG) Funding and secured $24.027 M in project funding through the State of Minnesota's 2020 Bonding Bill. Residents of Oronoco historically depended on individual wells for their potable water needs. Many of these wells were constructed prior to State well code and some of them have elevated levels of nitrates and have history of bacterial contamination. The City of Oronoco constructed its own water supply, storage, and distribution system in 2009 / 2010. Oronoco's water system serves approximately 2/3 of the City including many of its existing residential and non-residential properties. These improvements were an important first step in eliminating existing well penetrations into the groundwater and providing residents with a safe drinking water and fire protection system. As part of this initial expansion, Olmsted SWCD and the City of Oronoco worked together to provide funding to seal ~50 wells. The current expansion of the water distribution system is proposed as part of the Wastewater System improvements to serve areas that are currently served with sewer but are not yet served by the water system. The water distribution system expansion will serve 129 additional parcels with municipal water. Parcels being served by the current water system expansion are illustrated by the blue diagonal hatch on the attached figure. The City of Oronoco will be able to provide water service to new customers that are located west of TH 52 (except for 1st Place SW) and along portions of 5th Street NW and 2nd Avenue SE and are scheduled to receive water on or before October 30, 2023. In order to do this, the City of Oronoco is requiring that residents of these parcels make their connection to the municipal water service and complete their well sealing within 12 months of the service connection becoming available to the property owner. In order to transition Oronoco residents to a safer and more dependable water supply, approximately 75 wells within the Oronoco Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMA) and sensitive groundwater vulnerability area will be sealed as part of this commitment. Each property owner who receives water service is required to extend the water service pipe from the curb stop (near the property line) to the existing pipe entering the home or business. Each property owner is also solely responsible for all costs to construct the water service pipe, completion of associated plumbing improvements, installation of a water meter, site restoration and private well abandonment. The grant funding will be utilized to provide cost-share to residents to help off-set the cost of private well abandonment.

State Legislature Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 8, (c)","$625,000 each year is for grants to other children’s museums to pay for start-up costs or new exhibit and program development. Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Humanities Center must administer these funds using established grant mechanisms. ","Our Proposed Measurable Outcomes are as follows: - Having a visitor return rate of 70% by the end of the first year. - Have a membership renewal rate of 85% by the end of the first year. - Engage 40% of licensed daycares in Otter Tail county in membership opportunities. - Have four free admission Saturdays during our first calendar year where Otter Cove becomes available and accessible to anyone and everyone. - Have six low sensory events, outside of normal museum hours, where children can engage with our exhibits who may not normally visit during busy times. ","Otter Cove Children's Museum was ready for its grand opening when COVID struck in March 2020. Our team immediately went into survival mode and began fundraising to pay for our rent, unsure how long we would have to remain closed. It was a painful feeling, knowing how isolated everyone was and that we had a fully completed, state-of-the-art children's museum in the heart of downtown, just waiting for visitors to come play. Starting in July 2020, we began hosting private rentals with no more than 40 people at a time. We also gave private tours to our amazingly supportive donors who were anxious to see the completed space. The response was incredible. Friends would join together to rent the space just so their kids could play. We started tracking zip codes and realized how far people were traveling to play at Otter Cove, even during a pandemic. We held a series of open-air art classes in the Maker Shop; these were some of the only children's and adult programs available during the summer and fall of 2020. We are proud that we could offer creative opportunities for our community while following COVID safety protocol. Despite the pandemic, we achieved our goal of becoming a regional gathering ground for children and families. We are also proud of Otter Cove's impact on the local economy. Often when guests leave the museum, they ask staff for recommendations of great local restaurants. If a child is having a difficult time leaving Otter Cove, caregivers will often tempt them with a trip to Uncle Eddie's Ice Cream, just down the street from Otter Cove. ",,,,137000,,"Tasha Rohlfs, Amy Baldwin, Kelsey Evavold, Ryan Tungseth, Sarah Duffy, Erinn Webb, Greg Wagner, Arriana Velasco",,"Otter Cove Children’s Museum","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Otter Cove Children's Museum will be a state-of-the-art educational and cultural center in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, providing a much-needed accessible, indoor play space for the children of Otter Tail County and beyond. Otter Cove was started and driven by a group of moms but the actual place, Otter Cove, is for children and the ""critters"" who live there; the otter in the Otter Romp Playground, the fox at the cafe, the beaver at the dentist office, the raccoon at the grocery store, the swan on the stage, the mice at the bookstore, and the skunk at the veterinarian. Every detail at Otter Cove is designed to look and feel like a true destination that guests are transported into as they walk through the door. Furthermore, the region's landscape, agricultural influence, businesses and art scene are visible as the actual exhibits and core components of the museum's play structure, miniature downtown, farm and field, and art and maker space. The beneficiaries of the museum will be the young people visiting the museum who lack imaginative, creative, educational and physical play options in the region. Families and caregivers will appreciate a place where connections and community foster, especially in the winter. Family connections will grow, as the museum is an experience that will have impacts across generations - parents and their children, grandparents with their grandchildren, families and caregivers across the spectrum. It's exciting that Otter Cove will be the only children's museum with an indoor play structure in a 180 mile radius, ultimately helping increase traffic for local businesses from the additional visitors in town. We have heard countless employers donate to the project because they are excited to attract and retain young talent with this unique amenity. Childcare providers and school groups will also benefit from having an educational destination for field trips that is local.

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

","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. Results indicate that the training was overwhelmingly successful. Of 50 participants, 33 (66%) rated the training as excellent, 15 (30%) as very good, and 1 (.02%) as good, with one person not reporting. Most Successful Aspects of the Training. Participants were asked to rate and comment on several aspects of the training, including the venue, schedule, networking opportunities, communication with ARTSAGE and mentor interactions.

In talking with legal representatives, MSU,M and PAM staff agreed with the attorneys: suggestions that a MOU, rather than the :partnership agreement: identified in the grant application, more accurately reflected the desired working relationship. The successful outcome resulted from MSU,M and PAM leadership having worked together informally over the years; during the grant period holding many discussions, some facilitated; and timely, thoughtful work of the facilitator, lawyers, and MSU,M and PAM staff. Indicator 2, short-term progress indicator: Generate 15 ideas of possible curriculum changes to further develop and vet in Year Two. Grant work exceeded the target. Defining :curriculum: as the totality of student experience, grant work generated 27 suggestions/recommendations: one course alteration, four conceptual courses, five challenges to consider, six best practices for department administration and organization, seven student engagement ideas, and four community engagement ideas. See uploaded Action Plan, Objective 3 for discussion of the suggestions/recommendations. The successful outcome resulted from amending MSU,M staffing to allow an off-duty faculty member to conduct a site visit and write curriculum suggestions/recommendations based on that visit and four other site visits. Indicator 3, short-term progress indicator: Include two departments from MSU,M in a partnership agreement with PAM. Grant work demonstrated progress toward the target. In the future, other short term work may result in a second department joining the first department, Urban and Regional Studies Institute, in signing the Memorandum of Understanding (a type of partnership agreement) drafted during the grant period. In talking with legal representatives, MSU,M and PAM staff agreed with attorneys: suggestions that a MOU, rather than the :partnership agreement: identified in the grant application, more accurately reflected the desired working relationship. See uploaded Action Plan, Objective 4 for the Memorandum of Understanding draft. MSU invited faculty from the Nonprofit Leadership program to contribute to the discussion. Future phases of this work will continue to include this department, and may expand to include others as well. The successful outcome to date resulted from discussions to develop the MOU. As partnership work continues, additional departments may be interested in signing the MOU. Indicator 4, intermediate progress indicator: Add or change content to 3 to 5 existing courses which better serve the needs of public servants in relation to their communities: old buildings. As noted under indicator 2, MSU,M staff suggested alteration to one existing course to improve the curriculum. See uploaded Action Plan, Objective 3 for discussion of the suggestion/recommendation. The successful outcome to date resulted from amending MSU,M staffing to allow an off-duty faculty member to conduct a site visit and write curriculum suggestions/recommendations based on that visit and four other site visits.

Southeast Asian community members will better realize their power and how to navigate systems through storytelling. Communities will build cross-cultural mutual understanding. Southeast Asian diaspora communities will be more centered in shared public narratives.Southeast Asian diaspora community histories, stories and cultural arts will be more centered in public art and understanding. Educators, policymakers, healthcare workers, and other community leaders who work with predominantly Southeast Asian communities (Hmong, Khmer, Lao, and Vietnamese) will have accessible examples and materials in order to engage with Southeast Asian cultures and histories, to increase their cultural competency and communication skills. We will measure these outcomes through a series of metrics that track both outputs and impact, as described in the evaluation section below.","We have changed our approach to story gathering, both for increased intergenerational participation and for the comfortability of our storytelling participants. Rather than do an open call, we are asking our community partners to ask trusted volunteers, participants, community members, etc. to gather for a story collection cohort. We will have four cohorts, one for each of our heritage backgrounds (Hmong, Lao, Viet & Khmer). Each cohort will meet 3-4 times, with the first three meeting being the young folk only to establish trust in the process and understanding the strength and tools needed for authentic storytelling. Our final meetings will include the cohort's elders, where, after a community dinner, they will each go off into various corners with iPads and talk to their elder to collect stories. This process will ensure we have story collectors that know the purpose of the project and feel like they can continue these skills in their lives, and storytellers that trust and have a relationship with their younger person and feel comfortable sharing their story. As such, we are reducing the need for community healers, given that the relationship between young person and elder will be strengthened in this process. ; SEAD has successfully completed our 2023 Planting SEADS project. We worked with 25 elders from our local communities, capturing their oral stories (via recording) for posterity in our online archive, and publishing 18 stories in our print anthology. The book was celebrated at a launch event on Saturday, December 2nd at the Public Functionary gallery in Northeast Minneapolis. Over 80 people were in attendance at the event. We read five stories, two read in the original heritage languages (Lao and Khmer) and three read in English. Each of the 20 stories was illustrated by an emerging artist from our community. In addition to the custom illustrations, each story was published with personal family photos from each storyteller, adding to the representation and personality of each piece. Elders and fellow community members were able to see the visual representation of their stories on the walls of the gallery space during the reading event. Of the 375 copies of the book we had published, over 200 have been sold and shared throughout the community. We anticipate a reprint of both this anthology and our volume 1 at the end of this calendar year. To capture the stories, we worked with intergenerational story collection teams. Knowing that our first-generation elders, many of who don't speak English, have had little to no exposure to social justice initiatives, we decided to work with a younger member of their family to help facilitate the story collection process. The cohort of younger family members went through a 3-session workshop series on the process and power of authentic story collection. One Hmong member of the cohort stated, ""This [the story collection] has been the highlight of my year. I want to do this with all of my elders,"" (2023). Each story took a minimum of three community members to create: (1) the story collector, (2), the elder or story teller, and (3) the illustrator. This doesn't include the family members that were brought in to help with translation and family photo collection. The ultimate goal of the publication was to capture stories of joy, celebration, tradition, and cultural pride. Rather than focus on the struggles of being a refugee solely, the collection celebrated the families and their struggles, while also looking at moments of levity. This preservation of joy helped in the building of a more personable understanding. Yes, each of these families has experienced the diaspora journey as a result of the Vietnam War, but each of them also has their own lives, networks, friends, and families that contribute to their current identity as Southeast Asian Minnesotans. With the book published and available for purchase, we have seen important feedback on the subject matter of the Southeast Asian diaspora. Many outside our four heritage groups (Hmong, Lao, Khmer, and Viet) were either made aware or grew in their understanding of the shared history here in Minnesota. Others were able to have emotional empathy for the joys and struggles recorded in the anthology. Within our community, we saw inter-cultural group relationship building and relatability. For example, a Filipina attendant of the book launch remembered the refugee camps outside her hometown in the Philippines, and related to this to one of the Viet readers from the series. We hope to do further promotion of the book, with several low cost readings to be scheduled throughout the state in the next year. We plan for the knowledge sharing to increase the strides we've made in visibility and narrative sharing.

This partnership protects and restores strategic habitat that builds onto or creates corridors between existing protected lands. Acquired lands will be transferred to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) to be included as a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) or to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as a WPA. This proposal aims to build quality grassland habitat blocks that sustain and grow greater prairie chicken populations in Minnesota.","The Problem: In Minnesota, greater prairie chickens are largely restricted to the beach ridges of the Glacial Lake Agassiz region. Greater prairie chickens require large blocks of grasslands, with a minimum of 320 acres at any one site. The makeup of these grassland complexes should include numerous successional states of habitat to sustain a local population. Greater prairie chickens are a “flagship” species in the sense that if we have greater prairie chickens on the landscape, then we have also included the habitat needs of many additional grassland-dependent wildlife species with less exacting habitat requirements. Greater prairie chicken habitat has declined dramatically in recent years due to 1) loss of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres and 2) conversion of grasslands; (including remnant native prairie), to row crop production.An Approach to the Problem: This partnership protects native and restored prairies, sedge meadows, and other types of grasslands and associated wetlands to promote the growth and stability of greater prairie chicken populations. The priority is protecting remnant prairies within core and corridor areas of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. All projects acquired under this proposal will be restored and/or enhanced to be productive grassland habitat as part of the grant activity. Once acquired, the subject tracts will be fully restored and/or enhanced. Our proposed tracts were identified as high priority greater prairie chicken habitat with willing sellers who have an interest in preserving wildlife values of those acres. Tracts are also on the list based on a strategic approach that ranks each tract based on six criteria including: 1) distance to the nearest prairie chicken lek; 2) location in or outside of a core area from the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (MPCP); 3) distance to the nearest public hunting land (WPA or WMA); 4) tract size; 5) current grassland type (native prairie, restored prairie, brome, or row crop; and 6) wetland density and predicted waterfowl breeding pairs (wetlands can provide important habitat for prairie chickens over their annual life cycle). Benefits: By protecting, restoring and enhancing grasslands and wetlands in the right areas, this partnership delivers on many of the goals of the MPCP. In fact, one ecosystem measure of the MPCP success is to have stable or increasing greater prairie chicken populations in Minnesota. The MPCP is ideally suited for greater prairie chicken management with core areas containing large contiguous blocks of grassland and smaller grassland patches scattered across the landscape called corridors that allow birds to maintain populations outside the core areas as well as move across the landscape. In addition to grassland conservation, most tracts have extensive wetlands. Restoring and maintaining these wetlands will have several benefits including water storage, sequestering and storing carbon, water quality, diversity of flora and fauna, and reducing erosion. Providing secure habitat for greater prairie chickens also provides habitat for a host of other grassland species that have less exacting habitat requirement with respect to acreage.

The makeup of these grassland complexes should include numerous successional states of habitat to sustain a local population. Because of this the greater prairie chickens population in Minnesota is largely restricted to the beach ridges of the Glacial Lake Agassiz region. Greater prairie chickens are a ?flagship? species in the sense that if we have greater prairie chickens on the landscape, then we have also included the habitat needs of many additional grassland-dependent wildlife species with less exacting habitat requirements. Greater prairie chicken habitat has declined dramatically in recent years due to 1) loss of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres and 2) conversion of grasslands; (including remnant native prairie), to row crop production. This partnership protects native and restored prairies, sedge meadows, and other types of grasslands and associated wetlands to promote the growth and stability of greater prairie chicken populations. This is a very focused proposal with the priority of protecting remnant prairies within core and corridor areas of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. Our proposed tracts were identified as high priority greater prairie chicken habitat with willing sellers who have an interest in preserving wildlife values of those acres. These tracts were ranked as high priority for greater prairie chicken habitat based on six criteria including: 1) distance to the nearest prairie chicken lek; 2) location in or outside of a core area from the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (MPCP); 3) distance to the nearest public hunting land (WPA or WMA); 4) tract size; 5) current grassland type (native prairie, restored prairie, brome, or row crop; and 6) wetland density and predicted waterfowl breeding pairs (wetlands can provide important habitat for prairie chickens over their annual life cycle). All projects acquired under this proposal will be restored and/or enhanced to be productive grassland habitat as part of the grant activity. By protecting, restoring, and enhancing grasslands and wetlands in the right areas, this partnership delivers on many of the goals of stateside conservation plans. In fact, one ecosystem measure of the MPCP success is to have stable or increasing greater prairie chicken populations in Minnesota. The MPCP is ideally suited for greater prairie chicken management with core areas containing large contiguous blocks of grassland and smaller grassland patches scattered across the landscape called corridors that allow birds to maintain populations outside the core areas as well as move across the landscape. In addition to grassland conservation, most tracts have extensive wetlands. Restoring and maintaining these wetlands will have several benefits including water storage, sequestering and storing carbon, water quality, diversity of flora and fauna, and reducing erosion.

We will continue to implement subsequent Phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. ",,"1. Scope of work: With the requested funding, and with other funds leveraged by this money and brought by other partners, the following actions and outcomes were acheived. Phase 4 built upon the success of the MN Prairie Recovery Project Phases 1-3 by continuing and expanding enhancement work in 4 focal areas and protection in 5 areas. Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments. 1,707 acres of existing and restorable grassland, prairie pothole wetland complex, and savanna were permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as defined in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Lands are held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to LSOHC requirements. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been, and will continue to be, implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), via interactions through Local Technical Teams. An internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs and property tax obligations. Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, and/or cropping) are held in this account and help offset property taxes. 440 acres of cropland and former foodplots were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Contracting preference was given to local producers and contractors for provision of seed and establishment of prairies to promote creation of local conservation-oriented businesses. 37,567 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (“protected conservation lands”) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire (75 projects totalling 27,997 acres), removal of woody vegetation (95 projects for 3,725 acres), control of exotic species (84 projects - 5,821 acres), and inter-seeding of degraded grasslands (4 projects - 24 acres). Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC. On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or US Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and USFWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and other activities related to prairie conservation in the focus areas.  Contracts were let to provide a high level of enhancement activities to new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities greatly improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing local jobs through CCM and businesses. Activities included removal of undesirable woody vegetation, identification and treatment of invasive species infestations, removal of abandoned fences and/or other structures, and related restoration/enhancement activities. To ensure goals and outcomes are consistently achieved across all 4 project areas, the project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. Significant marketing and media outreach was conducted by the Conservancy to highlight the goals and accomplishments of the project to local and statewide constituents, as well as elected officials. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/minnesota/policy/minnesota-prairie-recovery-project.xml Temporary seasonal crews were employed by the Conservancy to provide additional capacity for public land management during critical periods like spring burn season. These crews helped create flexibility for enhancement projects and maximized the ability of specialized skilled personnel like burn bosses to increase the number of acres annually enhanced. 2. How priorities were set: Prioritization and prioritization criteria vary with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with MN County Biological Survey prairie “focus areas” and TNC portfolio areas. Each of the 4 project geographies directly correlate to core areas identified in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Because this project is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by respective coordinating groups. criteria for each of these tactics include: a. Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding.

Enhancement: urgency/time since last enhancement, feasibility of success, accessibility, availability of enhancement technical assistance, cost, proximity to other habitats and partnership benefits. 3. Urgency and opportunity of this proposal: Only about 1% of Minnesota’s original native prairie still remains (about 235,000 acres of an original 1.8 million), and the remnants are still being destroyed and degraded. Less than half of those 235,000 acres are currently protected from conversion, and management capacity is unable to address needs on protected lands. Additionally, more than 90% of the original prairie pothole wetlands in the western part of the state have also been lost. These losses threaten the viability of Minnesota’s prairie/wetland wildlife and recreational opportunities that depend upon them. Further, huge strides that have been made in supplementing habitat with the Conservation Reserve Program are in imminent danger of being lost as contracts expire. Conservationists have a narrow window of opportunity to protect remaining native grasslands, wetlands and other habitats, restore and protect supplemental grasslands and wetlands, and accelerate enhancement efforts to ensure these habitats are providing optimal value to animals and people.  4. Stakeholder involvement: This Phase continues an initiative begun with OHF funding in 2010. We have worked very closely with conservation interests in developing and maintaining this initiative and will continue close collaboration among partners. Via past and ongoing projects, we are also coordinating with other stakeholders (e.g., cattlemen’s associations, Land Stewardship Project, county boards), and will continue to seek opportunities to expand that coordination.  Planning This project implements strategies identified in at least 6 plans, as identified below. 1. The 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan (Plan) identifies three distinct strategies and opportunities for targeting protection, restoration, and enhancement of Minnesota’s prairie and grassland systems. The plan recommends work in “Core Areas” defined as large landscapes that retain some features of functioning prairie systems. Using MN County Biological Survey data and USFWS Habitat Assessment, Populations and Evaluation Team (HAPET) 2. MN Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan. The strategic framework of this plan has 5 elements in its “Habitat” section: integrated planning, critical land protection, land and water restoration and protection, (identification of) sustainable practices, and (provision of) economic incentives for sustainable practices. Further, while the plan does not go into great detail with respect to prairie conservation, it clearly states that “protection of priority land habitats” is a vital practice, and prairies clearly fall here.  The Plan identifies 36 distinct prairie core areas across the western third of the state. Collectively these core landscapes contain 71% of the state’s remaining native prairie. All 4 of the project focus areas directly correlate with one or more of these core areas. 3. Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild and Rare. The primary objective identified in the MN DNR’s plan is to “stabilize and increase populations of “species in greatest conservation need (SGCN)”. In the prairie regions of Minnesota, strategies to achieve this goal include: a. Support incentives that avoid conversion of grasslands into row crops where SGCN occur. b. Use mowing, cutting woody vegetation, prescribed fire, or careful use of herbicides to prevent the invasion of grasslands by trees and shrubs. c. Lengthen the cutting rotations for hay; avoid early-season mowing. d. Use light to moderate, rotational grazing programs to benefit SGCN e. Prevent fragmentation of grassland habitat. f. Avoid soil compaction in areas occupied by mammal SGCN. g. Increase native plant species components. h. Control spread of invasive species to adjacent native-dominated sites. This project proposes to address all but item “f” above. 4. The Nature Conservancy’s Northern Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregional Plan (1998). This plan identifies key conservation targets, geographic emphasis areas, threats to native plant and animal communities, and key strategies to mitigate these threats. The proposal is a solid step in the implementation of this plan. Also, as a step-down from the NTP Ecoregion Plan, the Chapter has completed local level planning (Conservation Action Planning) for smaller geographic units that correspond with the focus areas. Goals within these focus areas are very explicit in identifying conservation targets and actions and are consistent with the activities contained in this proposal. 5. DNR’s Pheasant Plan. This proposal is in full support of the Pheasant Plan goal to add 1.5 million acres of undisturbed grassland to the state by 2025. 6. DNR’s Waterfowl Plan. This proposal is in full support of the state Long-range Duck Recovery Plan to add 2 million acres of habitat to the state by 2025. It also utilizes establishment of complexes, as per the plan, to achieve multiple conservation synergies and benefits. This plan helps fulfill multiple priorities specified by the LSOHC “Prairie Section Vision”, including permanent protection of existing prairies and wetlands, restoration of prairie and wetland habitats, building grassland/wetland complexes in blocks sufficient to increase migratory breeding bird success, enhancement of public lands for game species and other species of conservation need, and protection of watersheds of shallow lakes. Specifically, this proposal addresses “Prairie Section Strategies” 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 directly.

Once complete, these WMAs will provide quality grassland/wetland habitat complexes that will benefit a myriad of game and non-game species and will provide public recreational opportunities for the citizens of Minnesota. ","The threats to wildlife habitat in the farmland regions of Minnesota are constant and increasing. Development pressures from urbanization, industry (e.g. wind, gravel) and agriculture put our existing habitats in constant jeopardy. Minnesota is also losing significant acreage of grassland habitat (approximately 70,000 acres last year) in the farmland region of Minnesota due to expiring CRP contracts. Now it is even more urgent to provide the vital permanent, high quality habitat complexes on a landscape level to protect and maintain wildlife populations. In addition, providing a place for Minnesotans to hunt, trap, fish and otherwise recreate in the outdoors are urgent needs, and needs we can deliver right now. To help slow and reverse the loss of habitat and declining wildlife populations, Pheasants Forever and our partners will protect (fee acquisition from willing sellers) 900 acres of high priority grassland, wetland habitat, and native remnant prairie (if available) as state wildlife management areas (WMA).

We will continue to implement subsequent Phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. ",,"Scope of work:With the requested funding the following actions and outcomes were achieved: Phase 5 built upon the success of the MN Prairie Recovery Project Phases 1-4 by continuing and expanding enhancement and protection work in 4 focal areas. Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments. 698 acres of existing and restorable grassland, prairie pothole wetland complex, and savanna were permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as defined in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Lands are held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to LSOHC requirements. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been, and will continue to be, implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), via interactions through Local Technical Teams. An internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs and property tax obligations. Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, and/or cropping) are held in this account and help offset property taxes. Coincidentally, exactly 698 acres of cropland and former foodplots were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Extensive effort was made to collect seed from local sources that cover the full season (early spring through late fall) needs of native pollinators. Seed sourcing included both mechanical and hand collection. 18,839 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (“protected conservation lands”) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire (50 projects impacting 11,730 acres), removal of woody vegetation (40 projects for 3,048 acres), control of exotic species (70 projects - 3,930 acres), and inter-seeding of degraded grasslands (13 projects - 131 acres). Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC. On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or US Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and USFWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and other activities related to prairie conservation in the focus areas.  Contracts were let to provide a high level of enhancement activities to new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing local jobs through CCM and businesses. Activities included removal of undesirable woody vegetation, identification and treatment of invasive species infestations, removal of abandoned fences and/or other structures, and related restoration/enhancement activities. To ensure goals and outcomes are consistently achieved across all 4 project areas, a project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. Significant marketing and media outreach was conducted by the Conservancy to highlight the goals and accomplishments of the project to local and statewide constituents, as well as elected officials. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/minnesota/policy/minnesota-prairie-recovery-project.xml Temporary seasonal crews were employed by the Conservancy to provide additional capacity for public land management during critical periods like spring burn season. These crews helped create flexibility for enhancement projects and maximized the ability of specialized skilled personnel like burn bosses to increase the number of acres annually enhanced. 2. How priorities were set: Prioritization and prioritization criteria vary with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with MN County Biological Survey prairie “focus areas” and TNC portfolio areas. Each of the 4 project geographies directly correlate to core areas identified in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Because this project is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by respective coordinating groups. criteria for each of these tactics include: a. Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding. A more robust listing of selection criteria can be provided upon request. b. Restoration: feasibility/likelihood of success, location, cost, availability of seed, and availability of restoration technical assistance, proximity to other habitats, and their ability to buffer or increase the conservation value of other protected lands. c.

All parcels protected directly contributed to the functional integrity of existing habitat complexes. Costs to acquire properties in fee-title have averaged around $2,500 per acre, though land prices have been escalating rapidly. Our enhancement projects have focused on accelerating the implementation of prescribed fire, woody vegetation removal, building the infrastructure for conservation grazing systems and treatment of invasive species. Costs for enhancement and restoration work vary depending on the practices being implemented and have averaged around $125 per acre. Labor and supply costs have risen dramatically in the last 18 months.

Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments. 284 acres of existing and restorable grassland were permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as defined in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Lands are held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to LSOHC requirements. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been, and will continue to be, implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), via interactions through Local Technical Teams. An internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs and property tax obligations. Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, and/or cropping) are held in this account and help offset property taxes. 102 acres of cropland were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Extensive effort was made to collect seed from local sources that cover the full season (early spring through late fall) needs of native pollinators. Seed sourcing included both mechanical and hand collection. 10,045 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (protected conservation lands) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire (36 projects impacting 7,189 acres), removal of woody vegetation (25 projects for 893 acres), control of invasive species (33 projects - 1,905 acres), and inter-seeding of degraded grasslands (5 projects - 58 acres). Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC. On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or US Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and USFWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation",,2018-07-01,2022-07-28,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Neal,Feeken,"The Nature Conservancy","1101 W River Parkway Suite 200",Minneapolis,MN,55415,"(612) 331-0738",nfeeken@tnc.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Chippewa, Clay, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Marshall, Polk, Pope, Stearns, Swift, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/mn-prairie-recovery-project-phase-viii,,,,

All land will be open to public hunting. MN Prairie Chicken Society and Pheasants Forever will be protecting parcels that focus specifically on prairie chicken benefits, which makes this proposal unique and highly focused. All acquisitions will occur within the prairie and prairie/forest planning regions with a focus in Clay, Norman, Mahnomen and Wilkin counties which is the primary range of prairie chickens in Minnesota.","Greater prairie chickens require large blocks of grasslands, with a minimum of 320 acres at any one site. The makeup of these grassland complexes should include numerous successional states of habitat to sustain a local population. Because of this the greater prairie chicken's population in Minnesota is largely restricted to the beach ridges of the Glacial Lake Agassiz region. Greater prairie chickens are a ""flagship"" species in the sense that if we have greater prairie chickens on the landscape, then we also have met the habitat needs of many additional grassland-dependent wildlife species. Greater prairie chicken habitat has declined dramatically in recent years due to 1) loss of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres and 2) conversion of grasslands; (including remnant native prairie), to row crop production. This partnership protects native and restored prairies, sedge meadows, and other types of grasslands and associated wetlands to promote the growth and stability of greater prairie chicken populations. This is a very focused proposal with the priority of protecting remnant prairies within core and corridor areas of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. Our proposed tracts were identified as high priority greater prairie chicken habitat with willing sellers who have an interest in preserving wildlife values. These tracts were ranked as high priority for greater prairie chicken habitat based on six criteria including: 1) distance to the nearest prairie chicken lek; 2) location in or outside of a core area from the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (MPCP); 3) distance to the nearest public hunting land (WPA or WMA); 4) tract size; 5) current grassland type (native prairie, restored prairie, brome, or row crop;) and 6) wetland density and predicted waterfowl breeding pairs (wetlands can provide important habitat for prairie chickens over their annual life cycle). All projects acquired under this proposal will be restored and/or enhanced to be productive grassland habitat as part of the grant activity. By protecting, restoring, and enhancing grasslands and wetlands in the right areas, this partnership delivers on many of the goals of stateside conservation plans. In fact, one ecosystem measure of the MPCP success is to have stable or increasing greater prairie chicken populations in Minnesota. The MPCP is ideally suited for greater prairie chicken management with core areas containing large contiguous blocks of grassland and smaller grassland patches scattered across the landscape called corridors that allow birds to maintain populations outside the core areas as well as move across the landscape. In addition to grassland conservation, most tracts have extensive wetlands. Restoring and maintaining these wetlands will have several benefits including water storage, sequestering and storing carbon, water quality, diversity of flora and fauna, and reducing erosion. Providing secure habitat for greater prairie chickens also provides habitat for a host of other grassland species.",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Sabin,Adams,"MN Prairie Chicken Society / Pheasants Forever, Inc.","14241 Steves Rd SE ",Osakis,MN,56360,320-250-6317,sadams@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Clay, Mahnomen, Norman, Wilkin","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/prairie-chicken-habitat-partnership-southern-red-river-valley-phase-viii,,,,

The cast would include 5-10 first time theater performers, either students or adults. A new mentorship program would be established where students learn various crew positions from experienced adults. At least 2 educational opportunities for students to serve in crew, non-paid positions would offered. Ticket sales would increase from past musical productions by 25%. Of that 25% ticket sale increase, 25% would be first time theater patrons. Audience satisfaction would be evaluated by distributing simple 3 question surveys when patrons purchased student/senior or adult tickets at the door.

The audition process includes individuals completing audition forms that clearly ask for any prior theater experience. Those audition forms are collected by the artistic director prior to to auditioning. They would be counted to determine the total number of people that auditioned. The number of individuals who auditioned that had no prior theater experience would also be tallied. The new mentorship program for student crew members would be advertised on audition posters posted locally and in surrounding communities, in advertising in local publications, on the Kimball Community Playhouse website and on Facebook. Copies could be the new student crew mentorship program being advertised could be submitted for validation. The number of students would be recorded and those students could be asked to fill out a small form asking about the positive outcomes of their experience. Ticket sales from the past 5 Kimball Community Playhouse musical theater productions could be tallied and an average determined. Ticket sales from Footloose would then be compared to the average for the last 5 years and the increase could be ascertained. A survey would be handed out to individuals purchasing or receiving student/senior or adult tickets at the door when tickets are purchased. That survey would be extremely simple and would contain 3 questions: 1) Have you ever attended a theatrical production before; 2) Would you rate this Kimball Community Playhouse production of Footloose as favorable, unfavorable or no opinion 3) Would you recommend this production to a friend or family member. There would also be a spot for comments. This survey would accomplish several things. It would allow Kimball Community Playhouse to determine the approximate number of first time theater patrons. The number of surveys collected could be counted and compared to the number of student/senior or adult tickets sold. The number of surveys collected that indicated they would consider the production as favorable would also be tallied. A survey response of on opinion would not be counted. New Kimball Community Playhouse Board Members recruited as a result of a positive experience with Footloose could be asked to fill out a small form indicating why they decided to join the Kimball Community Playhouse Board of Directors. The addition of a new Kimball Community Playhouse Board Member after the production could be verified by providing a production playbill that lists current board members and the new board member form. Likewise, the production playbill would also list current donors. Documentation could be provided after the production that indicated when new donors made their contribution.","We had 29 people audition for roles and were able to cast all 29. Our goal was 40, however six of them were first time theater performers which met our goal of introducing over five. An additional six had never done a production outside of a school performance. This successful outcome was measured by counting and reviewing audition forms. We exceeded our goal of mentoring two students in crew positions by involving four students in crew positions that were new to them. We were also able to involve four adults in crew positions that were unfamiliar to them. The effectiveness of these educational opportunities were evaluated through personal interviews and feedback. In additional, information regarding the availability of crew mentorship opportunities was added to the Kimball Community Playhouse website. Kimball Community Playhouse exceeded its goal of increasing ticket sales by 25% from recent productions, by increasing ticket sales by approximately 40%. Ticket sales were greater than they have been in 6 years and total ticket sales were 437 for three performances. For the last 5 years, ticket sales for three performances have averaged 315.

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. We will hope to see new faces from our large medical community (practitioners and patients) as well as increased student attendance. This will be evident in scanning the audience and at the post-concert reception, where our music leaders and board members will directly solicit feedback on our performance of this music. These figures and impressions will be analyzed at the post-concert board meeting. Involvement of at least one dozen advanced Suzuki string students and their parents participating on stage for the Strauss waltz portion of the concert will indicate the on-going strength of our partnership with the Montrose Suzuki Strings program, to which we devote two of our five concerts annually.

We will evaluate the enthusiasm of the audience in its applause and in qualitative comments from those who listen to the radio interviews, who ask questions at the Conductor Chat, and who speak with Buffalo Community Orchestra musicians in the post-concert reception.

Efforts are underway to try and reverse this trend. One of those efforts - led by Project Get Outdoors, Inc. - is working to implement a program that reconnects Minnesota children in grades K-8 to nature exploration and outdoor recreation utilizing our public lands. Using this appropriation, Project Get Outdoors, Inc. created 50 toolkits and five equipment trunks with supplies that encourage over 100 safe, after-school activities that get kids out in nature. Activities include insect collection, themed hikes, geo-caching, and fishing. These toolkits are available free of charge to interested communities in southern Minnesota by Project GO coordinators along with training for community volunteers on how to start and sustain their own unique programs. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Project GO has developed a toolkit to help local communities design, implement, evaluate, and sustain free after-school and summer programs that introduce children to nearby public lands and outdoor activities and skills they can enjoy at these sites. Through funds from the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, Project GO was able to assemble 50 Activity Backpacks and 32 Equipment Trunks for Project GO program leaders to use in their communities. Each program leader is issued a backpack to keep during their involvement with the Project GO program. The Activity Backpacks provide basic supplies to help leaders implement 100 or more different outdoor games, projects, and activities. The Equipment Trunks focus on 16 different activities and are available for Project GO leaders to check out for free. These trunks are housed at Whitewater State Park for use in SE Minnesota and we anticipate the other set of 16 trunks will be housed out of Minneopa State Park for use by Project GO clubs in SW Minnesota. At the time of this report, 14 backpacks have been issued. Equipment trunks are beginning to be checked out. Program leaders are excited to have these resources and so far, feedback has been very positive. The children are happy to have more diverse equipment and supplies to use while learning about the outdoors. We plan to evaluate the usefulness of these resources over the coming year via a program leader survey. One obstacle we are looking at is getting the equipment trunks to and from program sites that are farther from the storage site. We are hoping to develop a network of volunteer ""runners"" who would be reimbursed mileage for delivering and returning the equipment trunks when a GO site in a community such as Red Wing or Spring Grove desires to check out a trunk. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The completed Activity Backpacks have already been issued to 14 sites. We will continue to help communities design Project GO programs that are unique as well as work with local staff at community organizations such as youth centers, school age child care programs, and other after school sites to introduce children in those programs to nature through our toolkit resources. Since completing the assembly of the 50 Activity Backpacks and 32 Equipment Trunks, Project GO has formed a partnership with local public health and child care resource professionals to look at implementing our program into the larger child care centers that serve school age children during the after school hours. We are currently piloting this at a child care center in Caledonia and looking to work with two child care centers in Rochester. We will train the school age room staff at these centers to use our backpacks at least once a week. As an incentive for them to use the backpacks and journal their experiences, Project GO will provide a person to come out to their site no more than once a month to lead a hands-on nature activity using one of the Equipment Trunks. This new approach with child care centers will allow us to serve many more children. Project GO will be presenting at an upcoming Focus on the Child conference in Rochester, sharing this information with child care providers from across the southern region. A number of colleges and college professors in SE Minnesota have expressed enthusiasm to connect their students to service learning, internship, and practicum experiences with Project GO. We have found that college students bring great enthusiasm to the program which the children really enjoy and in exchange Project GO is able to provide real world learning experiences for these students. We are already looking to secure additional funds to purchase more backpacks, as we anticipate the first 50 will be issued within a year. The US Fish & Wildlife Service Winona District is eager to help us acquire another batch of backpacks.",,"Final Report",2010-07-01,2010-11-16,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Sara,Grover,"Project Get Outdoors, Inc.","Whitewater State Park, 19041 Hwy 74",Altura,MN,55910,"(507) 951-5885",sara.grover@yahoo.com,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Steele, Wabasha, Winona",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-get-outdoors,,,,

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

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

By providing interesting and relevant art activities on a regular basis, visitors and local community members can engage with artists and new perspectives, leading to an expanded understanding of creativity, difference, and possibility. The majority of our customer base is from rural Central Minnesota. Art in Motion is one of the only, possibly the only, Art focused space that holds regular open hours to the public in a 20 mile radius. Other orgs in the area often have financial barriers or limits on age and ability to attend art programs. 2. By creating a making environment that encourages fun, exploration, play, and creativity, participants will try the project and report having fun or trying something they have not tried before with the artist. 3. Artists will feel valued by how we engage them in the ideation of programming, fair compensation, and collaborative processes. This will be reported in a follow-up survey. Several artists who hosted Art on the Roll in 2021 desired to host an Art on the Roll again in 2022. ; By providing interesting and relevant art activities on a regular basis, visitors and local community members can engage with artists and new perspectives, leading to an expanded understanding of creativity, difference, and possibility. To measure these outcomes, we have a playful interactive rock survey that will gather feedback and data and track newcomers and regular visitors to the program. The artist will also complete a digital closing survey after their project is complete. The artist survey will gather data on the artist's experience as well as offer them an opportunity to share any observations on the participant's experience by noting memorable comments and questions. The artist or the Art Coordinator will tally and track participation with their project, and note return participation as well as any outlier data such as an out-of-state residence or a large group affiliated with another organization such as a school, daycare, biking club, etc. This data will be recorded after each workshop. Other comments and notes will also be compiled including correlating events at Art in Motion, the weather (on a bike trail the weather can greatly affect traffic). The combination of qualitative and quantitative data will help provide a holistic review of the outcomes. The bucket system has 4 pockets with written questions. A digital survey will be made available on an iPad or with a QR code to scan and take the survey. The 4 buckets can be interacted with colored beans in three colors indicating ?yes,? ?kinda/maybe,? and ?no. The questions will be: was this fun, did you learn or try something new today, and have you been to art on a roll before. The last question will be how old are you and where do you live. To answer this question, participants can take a piece of candy and write age and where they live on the wrapper and place it in the bucket (recycled paper slips will also be provided for this question) for those wishing to save their candy or choose not to eat candy. These survey questions will be written in English, Spanish and Somali. The artist instructor will be instructed to encourage survey participation after completing the projects. If/When the Art in Motion representative present for the workshop will assist in encouraging survey participation. The digital QR Code survey will provide more questions for demographic information. The questions are designed to be simple and playful but also allow insight into deeper outcomes like expanded perspectives and creativity. So far in 2022, we have seen an 87% response rate in our bean survey. So far in 2022 we have seen a %40 response rate on the instructor review with a unanimous reporting that they felt valued in their experience as an instructor with the monetary compensation, facility, and as an artist in general. ; We will use a simple 5 question bean bucket survey for participants and a paper or digital survey for instructors","Of the overall respondents of the bean-bucket survey 94% indicated that had fun, 78% learned something new, and 40% were also first time art on the roll participants.

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

20410,"Public Art Grant",2013,17300,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education ACHF Cultural Heritage","The entrance gateway and plaza in the Elk River Community Education Nature Explore Center has an attractive plaza with a beautiful and enticing entry feature with creative, informative signage that invites all to enter and interact with nature. Original artwork piques the imagination and attracts ongoing interest with an inviting natural area accessible to users of all abilities. There are new art features that encourage the public, especially children, to interact with nature while using or enjoying the artwork. The gateway and plaza is safe, durable, low-maintenance public art with scale, theme, and materials appropriate for use by young children year-round in a public setting. Finally, the artwork's design and theme unifies and contributes to the integrity of the area, blending the historic building and location with the unique natural setting.Measures of success for this project will include the following: as the project is implemented, we will track expenses compared to budget and the delivery timeline plus completion of all elements as defined by the contract (or as renegotiated to accommodate changing conditions). A report comparing budget to actual will enable us to measure project cost, and we can easily note whether work is completed within the agreed upon time frame. Finally, our own experiences will enable us to assess the level of customer service and satisfaction provided by the artist. Currently the Nature Explore Center is used for early childhood classes, programs, and events offered throughout the year. Although the area is open to the public, it attracts relatively few visitors beyond those involved in Handke's Early Childhood and Family programs and the surrounding neighborhood. We expect many more visitors once we have attractive, effective signage, a clearly defined entrance area, and art that entices the eye as well as the feet to enter. We will gauge and track the increase in use of the Nature Explore Center and historic Handke site, both for early childhood and other school programs, as well as general public use. Both observation and visitor comment sheets will be used to collect this information. We intend to define this unique public art as recognizable in our area as the cherry-and-spoon piece is for the Walker Art Center. When the community begins to talk about going to “the park with the jumping deer” or “the place with the heron archway,” we will know we have succeeded. Other indicators will be news coverage, people stopping to take photographs, and inquiries from other school districts, cities, and Nature Explore projects. Some of the measures will include noting visitor/community comments, installing a public comment kiosk at the site providing public users the chance to complete an evaluation/comment card at any hour of the day beyond our formal program uses, collecting news articles/reports, and logging inquiries received. Opportunities to engage students and their parents will increase dramatically with the addition of public art. We will solicit written evaluative comments as a part of our routine program evaluation at the end of every class and note student reactions in the school year following the art installation. The pieces planned for our project must withstand weather and human activity with only nominal effort and expense for maintenance. We will measure these results through maintenance records/expenses and safety issue logs.","Outcomes: 1. Entrance gateway, plaza and artwork installed. Result: Original artwork that piques the imagination and attracts ongoing interest has been installed as the entry feature to the Nature Explore Center. The plaza, a rock sit wall, and additional signage will be installed after renovations to the north wing of the Handke Center are completed, estimated completion fall 2014. Until then the area has a layer of mulch and simulated sit wall using bales. 2. The gateway and plaza is safe, durable, and low-maintenance. The theme and scale is appropriate for young children and also appeals to adults and older children. It has year round appeal and use. Result: The outcome was achieved. 3. The artwork’s design and theme unifies and contributes to the integrity of the area, blending the historic building and location with the natural setting. Result: The installation of the artwork does exactly what we set out to do. It is stunning. Measures of success: 1. We will track expenses and completion timeline. Result: The project finished on time and within the budget. 2. Use own experiences to assess the level of customer service and satisfaction provided by the artist. Result: Classes, weekdays, evenings and weekends use the Nature Explore Center regularly. The local paper provided excellent coverage of the installation and the artist with features in at least three issues of the paper. It also has been publicized in the Community Education Brochure, on the district website, through numerous e-mails, district Staff Happenings page and through an Independent School District 728 YouTube video. People drive by to view the art, they stop and take pictures and they visit the Nature Explore Center. Many positive comments have been shared about the creativity of the artist and the beauty the installation has added. While the installation was just completed in the fall, we feel the full impact of the artwork is yet to be realized. In the next year we plan to add the plaza, more signage, a place for comments. 3. Opportunities to engage students and their parents will increase dramatically with the addition of the public art. Result: We intend to continue to offer events and activities for public at the site and know the usage will only continue to grow. It has only been a few months since the installation, a successful Grand Opening was held with many community members and families participating. A Not So Scary Halloween event was held and there have been regular events on the Nature Explore Center and nearly daily use by classes. The Friends of Sherburne Wildlife Refuge received a grant to install a full-sized replica of an Eagle’s Nest on the Nature Explore Center. Part of this installation includes cross promotion of the Nature Explore Center at the Sherburne Wildlife Refuge and vice versa. We anticipate that will increase our audience and the awareness of the Nature Explore Center and the Gateway. 4. Nominal effort and expense will be required for long-term maintenance of the installation. Result: We will keep records of maintenance needed. The artwork was installed so that the archway and deer could be removed during the building renovations and then reinstalled when the remodel is completed. Engineers, architects, district Manager of Building and Grounds and the district Director of Community Engagement all worked with the artist on this plan. All kept in mind the need to protect the artwork and reinstall it intact.",,21550,"Other, local or private",38850,11200,"Jane Bunting, Holly Thompson, Tony Walker, Shane Steinbrecher, Sue Farber, Jolene Jorgensen, Dan Hunt",,"Elk River Community Education","K-12 Education","Elk River Community Education Nature Explore Center Gateway and Plaza",,"The Elk River Community Education Nature Explore Center in Elk River was established as a place for children to interact and learn from nature and art.

We had anticipated the entirety of our collection being available right away, but discovered that all our catalog records were automatically set to ""not accessible to public"" when our instance of CollectiveAccess was set up. However, since implementing CollectiveAccess, we have now made over 7,700 records available to the public. The fact that they are not all yet public actually works in our favor because a huge part of our collection consists of photographs, and we'd like to apply watermarks to them before allowing public access since reproduction of photos is a source of revenue for us. Intermediate Term: We've achieved our expected outcome in that access is easier, content is greater, and items from our material artifact collection are included. The impact on patron requests seems limited at this point, but it is still early and we hope creating more awareness through social media posts and our website will generate more interest. Long Term: We believe we are on our way to achieving the expected outcomes. We have already gained a sense of greater intellectual control as we clean up records and make connections across records.

I expect the aesthetic quality of the forms and colors to become more pleasing. Even more important than the visual impact is the function. Handmade dishes need to perform at a high level on a consistent basis, which I hope to improve upon. The small equipment will allow me to fire and glaze the plates (and other small or shallow vessels) at much more efficient rate and will advance my skills that much quicker. My time and efforts spent improving plates will add to my experience and skills in general, and continue to make me a better ceramic artist. Each batch of plates that come out of the kiln can be compared and measured against older versions. Feedback from family, friends and customers is also a way that I measure my work and constantly improve my pottery.","This project gave me a better sense of myself as an artist. I learned to experiment and develop something different. I learned many techniques of how to use alcohol inks and believe I have come up with some uses that helped me to create a bit of a niche for myself as an artist. My original plan of combining with colored pencil did not work out, but the style I worked out combines alcohol ink in drop form from the bottle, then pointillism and alcohol ink pens. I learned how to layer the colors and yet keep them from looking muddy. People at my show commented on the vibrancy of the colors and had not seen this style of alcohol inks before. I was very nervous about putting my artwork out there, but it was worth it.

We do not always have full audiences for every show and the goal is to reach more people, since participants work very hard to showcase their talent for an audience, The Barn Theatre continues to operate on a small budget, but working with a consultant we may be able to find a way to better use the resources we already have. The theater needs to move forward to draw new people at all times. Changing and increasing the marketing knowledge will be a great asset for staff, volunteers, committee members and board members. The greatest measurement would ultimately be an increase in ticket sales. This may take time as information and knowledge of The Barn spreads to the right people. We will look at website traffic, google traffic, mass email clicks and other. Success is through positive comments, volunteer satisfaction and ticket sales. Evaluation tools that may be incorporated to find out how, when, or where they learned about The Barn Theatre could be surveys at a ticket sale, a survey at the end of production run and a questionnaire for cast volunteers and crew members. Anecdotal comments are always taken into consideration as they are given, The Barn has always tried to stay true and committed to the patrons.","We have created a marketing plan that is affordable, organized and easy to implement, and if volunteers leave, it will still be able to be followed through with.

We changed the name to conversations'' to align with and showcase respect for the Dakota people we work with and their culture. These conversations have resulted in documentation of thirty-nine Dakota stories of which nearly half will be fully developed. They encompass a wide range of historical topics from important people and traditions, to foods and events such as the Treaty of 1805, Bde Psin, Fry Bread & Amaranth, and Fort Snelling and Coldwater Spring, just to name a few. In most instances, adjoining Google slides (many with videos) will be completed for use in the classroom. Our Native Vision Board of eight continues to monitor, contribute and advise the project. The Teacher Cohort has nine members and is actively working on classroom and professional development materials. The feedback and guidance received from our Native community, partner organizations, educators and teacher cohort have been invaluable and we anticipate partnering with them indefinitely. Covid isolation and distance learning had a tremendous impact on students' social and emotional skills. Most elementary students are one to two years behind in their education fundamentals. For example, we have third to fifth graders who do not recognize all the letters in the alphabet. Combating these pandemic-induced deficits with the universal comprehension naturally infused in storytelling is allowing us to begin to move the needle in the right direction. When children began to express their stories in writing, pictures often moved into letter recognition and eventually words. We have found that we can use the overarching message in a story and apply it to how we want to work together in the classroom. How do we want to be in a community with each other? How can we observe the emotional cues from others? How can we create a community where everyone feels supported? How do we listen to things that might make us feel uncomfortable and breathe through the tension? How do we challenge things that we might have learned were true, but were hurtful to other communities; learning they weren't true at all? In one of our stories about the Walleye Wars'', this is directly addressed in the story itself. As the friends in the stories move through biases that were handed down from their families, they open their thinking and attitudes change. Posing such questions and providing positive, nonjudgmental space for student interactions with each other and group learning has begun to lessen some of the wide gaps we first encountered. Many of our teachers are learning along with us and the students. They help us see what knowledge students are lacking, and what we need to clearly define before finalizing stories and lesson plans. We are working with twelve schools in multiple classrooms (PreK-5) and almost all of the students hadn't heard of a treaty, let alone knew what a sovereign nation was. This was the case even at our native school. Despite the fact that the 11 Tribal Nation Flags hang in the hallways of our schools, students don't have any understanding of what they are or represent. Where we tested this work, we first developed the foundational knowledge of a treaty. Before students could understand what it meant to break a treaty, they first needed to understand what it was. How were treaties negotiated? What were different kinds of treaties? Why does an oral agreement hold less impact than a written agreement for settlers? To date, 99% now know what a treaty is and have used the concept on the playground, in the classroom and/or at home. Nearly every teacher has expressed their desire to teach Indigenous culture and histories in their classroom, yet cannot find any resources to assist them (despite the strong possibility of a statewide mandate to do so). This effort is timely and will fill a massive void. When teachers aren't confident about the curriculum that they have to find on their own, they unfortunately revert to doing nothing at all. We've learned that you always move at the speed of trust and follow the lead of your community partners. This lesson is deep in our bones. Everyone has stories. Everyone has the intellectual capacity to learn and sustain complex ideas. Everyone can successfully build relationships and trust. We have all been harmed by ideas of individualism and must work to change that. We as a community must invest in all backgrounds and take greater care to make sure we don't replicate harmful systems and patterns. We are committed to continuing to document not only Dakota stories, but all BIPOC stories missing from our collective knowledge base. We hope to have the U.S. history that's reflected in our textbooks, education system and memory be an inclusive representation of the diversity that is our nation. We know that we are on a living journey and relationships, exploration and documentation will continue to expand in what we now lovingly call our Truth Telling Series. ; We were thrilled to far exceed our goals. We developed a comprehensive curriculum for grades PreK-6 with 35 new stories at its core. These handcrafted stories told and written by local Indigenous people, often for the first time in English, weave a beautiful cultural and historical tapestry from the 1800's to present day. Stories in conjunction with lesson plans and accompanying classroom slides offer a wide variety of Minnesota history missing from our textbooks, classrooms and collective knowledge.

Through the stories, curriculum testing and residencies, we were in 14 schools and one domestic violence shelter, and reached 1,570 children and 127 classroom teachers. Furthermore, professional development sessions were offered in Minneapolis, Bloomington, and Rochester school districts and we presented at several conferences including MIEA, University of Minnesota, Minnesota Council of Teachers Duluth, Minnesota Writing Project and Minnesota Indian Education Association. The latter, as an example, heralded the curriculum as a long overdue triumph. In total we reached approximately 350 more educators. Just this year, the state released the requirement that Indigenous culture and history must be taught in classrooms with little resources to pull from. It is with great pride and honor that our Truth Tellers Dakota curriculum is being released to help fill that void. After engaging with the new materials, 90% of participating classroom teachers described significant gains in their comfort level and understanding of Indigenous history to teach in their classrooms. Students have been so engrossed that stories that were planned for multiple days are requested to finish in one sitting. Please, no! You can't stop there. We need to hear more!!!

The basin-wide scope of this effort will catalyze administrative efficiency, allow geographic flexibility and responsiveness to fluctuating markets, and help achieve multipurpose goals identified in local watershed plans.","This basin-wide initiative will establish permanent riparian and upland habitat adjacent to priority rivers and streams in the RRB of Minnesota. The RRWMB will partner with BWSR to use the RIM Program to purchase conservation easements for agricultural lands adjacent to riparian areas. These easements will restore and protect important stream and riparian habitat and have collateral benefits of reducing flood damages and improving water quality. The RRWMB is a joint power board of watershed district formed in 1976. The organization is analogous to the Mississippi Headwaters Board in that it has full authority to act as a fiscal agent on behalf of its members and can raise revenue through taxation. The organization was originally focused on providing a basin-wide perspective on flood control but has made programmatic shifts in recent years to assist its member Watershed Districts (WD) as they focus on management activities that includes the permanent protection of riparian and upland habitat. The RRWMB and the watershed districts are uniquely positioned to lead efforts at the basin wide scale to restore and protect stream and riparian habitats, given their history and current interest in implementing multipurpose projects that include habitat. This regional project will build on and streamline established RIM programming previously implemented by individual WDs within the RRB. This project will consolidate current applications from the region as it includes: (1) Lower Wild Rice Corridor Habitat Restoration Project, Wild Rice WD; (2) Doran Creek Stream Rehabilitation Project, Bois de Sioux WD; and (3) Swift Coulee Channel Restoration Project, Middle-Snake-Tamarac Rivers WD. As proposed, the project will provide basin-wide administrative efficiency, geographic flexibility, and responsiveness to target habitat restoration and protection to priority watercourses. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between RRWMB and BWSR will establish the process for permanently protecting eligible lands in RIM while also allowing flexibility for future restoration of stream habitat when needed. The RRWMB will serve as the program manager and BWSR will act as the fiscal agent. The RIM program will be delivered targeted watercourses through local WDs and Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD).

",,,,9059500,,,2.0,BWSR,"State Government","The RIM-WRP program will expand past efforts and provide important benefits to the citizens of Minnesota by restoring and permanently protecting priority wetlands and associated upland native grassland wildlife habitat via perpetual conservation easements. This funding will leverage $12.6 million of federal WRP funds for the State of Minnesota and is expected to create and sustain 343 jobs and income to local landowners, businesses and others in the state based on USDA economic estimates. With this level of funding from Outdoor Heritage Funds (OHF) we anticipate the protection and restoration of approximately 5,800 acres of new habitat under the RIM-WRP leveraging project. Since WRP receives annual appropriations from the 2008 Federal Farm Bill, this leveraging opportunity is available for at least the next five years. ","Described as the premier private lands wetland restoration easement program in the nation, the RIM-WRP partnership combines Minnesota's RIM Reserve conservation easement program and the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Wetland Reserve Program (WRP). Combining RIM Reserve and WRP allows OHF to leverage Federal Farm bill conservation dollars to Minnesota. Utilizing both programs results in competitive payment rates to landowners and sharing of the costs associated with perpetual easement acquisition and restoration by both the federal and state programs. In 2008 BWSR and NRCS accepted nearly 300 applications during a limited three week sign-up period for RIM-WRP easements on over 33,000 acres at an estimated cost of over $75 million. The applications were scored and ranked and the top scoring highest priority 98 applications were funded for easement acquisition totaling 9,775 acres. BWSR obligated $15.6 million which leveraged $21.0 million of federal WRP funds to permanently protect and restore these 98 conservation easements. Because of this partnership, Minnesota received almost 20% of the nation's WRP funds in 2008. In spring 2009, the RIM-WRP partnership held its Phase II statewide sign-up. We received over 230 applications from landowners requesting conservation easements on over 19,000 acres at a cost of approximately $70 million. The RIM-WRP partnership scored, ranked and selected the following projects for funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund based on their ability to protect and restore wetland and native grassland wildlife habitat in priority areas in Minnesota. This opportunity was offered statewide but has a priority focus in the ecological provinces of the state that have experienced significant losses of wetland and associated prairies (see map attached). It will be delivered by local NRCS staff, local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) staff and assisted by program staff from both NRCS and the Board of Soil and Water Resources? (BWSR). In addition, Ducks Unlimited contract employees and staff provided by Minnesota Waterfowl Association assist in program delivery. Since the SWCD is responsible for the local delivery of the RIM Reserve program to private landowners on behalf of the State of Minnesota, they are ideally suited to work in concert with their local NRCS staff to efficiently and effectively deliver the RIM-WRP partnership. Once an easement is acquired NRCS is responsible for maintenance, inspection and monitoring during the life of their 30-year WRP easement. The state of Minnesota assumes sole responsibility via its RIM Reserve easement once the 30-year WRP easement has expired.

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

The goal of the RIM-WRP Partnership is to achieve the greatest wetland functions and values, while optimizing wildlife habitat on every acre enrolled in the partnership. The RIM-WRP partnership enables Minnesota to leverage $1.4 of federal WRP funding for every state dollar available through RIM Reserve. This appropriation request of $6.895 million from the Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) will leverage $9.653 million in WRP funds to Minnesota. We expect to enroll approximately 46 permanent conservation easements totaling 4,620 acres of wetland grassland wildlife habitat complexes. This will enable the RIM-WRP partnership to restore approximately 230 previously drained wetland basins totaling 1,525 wetland acres, and the restoration of native grassland prairies on approximately 3,095 acres. Since WRP is an annual funded program through the 2008 Federal Farm Bill, this leveraging opportunity is available to Minnesota for at least the next four years. ","Minnesota's original wetland and prairie landscapes have been lost at an alarming rate over the last century and a half of European settlement. Minnesota's prairies once comprised nearly 20 million acres, extending from the borders of Iowa and Wisconsin in the southeast to North Dakota and Manitoba in the northwest. Less than 1% of this native prairie remains. Minnesota has lost an estimated 42 percent of its original 16 million acres of wetlands to drainage or fill activities. The loss of wetlands is most severe in the prairie regions of the state. Approximately 90% of prairie wetlands have disappeared and in the southwestern area of the state losses are as high as 99%. Prairie wetlands are particularly important for migratory waterfowl. Although the North American pothole region contains only about 10% of the waterfowl nesting habitat on the continent (including a significant portion of Minnesota), it produces 70% of all North American waterfowl. This extensive loss of Minnesota's prairie and wetland habitat has lead to the decline of many wildlife and plant species originally abundant in the state. Of the nearly 1,200 known wildlife species in Minnesota, 292 species, or approximately one-fourth, are at risk because they are rare; their populations are declining or they face serious risks of decline due to loss of habitat. The RIM-WRP Partnership, the premier private lands wetland restoration program in the nation, is a local-state-federal partnership delivered locally by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) and the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) to ensure the RIM-WRP Partnership is a longstanding and successful program in Minnesota. In addition, this partnership is possible through collaboration among many local, state and federal partners including NRCS, BWSR, local SWCDs, Ducks Unlimited (DU), the Minnesota Waterfowl Association (MWA) and the United States Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS). The RIM-WRP Partnership will protect and restore an estimated 230 wetland basins totaling 1,525 wetland acres and associated restored native grassland prairie on 3,095 acres in 46 permanent conservation easements totaling 4,620 acres. These restored wetlands and native grassland complexes will provide critical habitat for migratory waterfowl and other wetland dependent wildlife species in Minnesota. Wetlands provide habitat for fish and wildlife, including threatened and endangered species. They improve water quality by filtering sediments and chemicals, reduce flooding, recharge groundwater, protect biological diversity, sequester carbon and increase recreational opportunities.

This holistic watershed approach, combined with in-stream enhancements designed for Heritage Brook Trout, will protect the long term health of these unique coldwater communities and amplify the impact of past stream habitat and protection efforts.","Word has spread that Southeast Minnesota's streams support a robust trout fishery and trout fishing now generates $800 Million annually to local communities. Less well known is that a small number of these streams hold remnant populations of native brook trout unique to Southeast Minnesota. They have persisted for thousands of years and through the time of European settlement. These ?Heritage Brook Trout? populations are indigenous to this unique area and a Species in Greatest Conservation Need. Yet their long-term persistence is far from secured. Small populations of Heritage Brook Trout persist in perhaps 20% of Southeast trout streams, and are abundant in just 17 streams. These face growing challenges from land conversion, parcelization, intensified agricultural practices, poor land management and an increasingly wet and warm climate. Recent DNR research suggests that consistent baseflow from groundwater springs can provide a level of resilience to these coldwater systems. Coldwater streams with ample spring baseflow may provide a climate refugia for brook trout and other coldwater species. Minnesota Trout Unlimited and DNR Fisheries have made significant investments in restoration and enhancement of in-stream habitat in Southeast Minnesota. Protecting the health of the surrounding watersheds will be critical to maintaining these coldwater streams and gaining the maximum benefit from in-stream improvements. Improved riparian habitat and connectivity are key factors in stream quality; they also provide important corridors for terrestrial wildlife, connecting large habitat cores. Program partners Minnesota Trout Unlimited, Minnesota Land Trust, The Nature Conservancy, and Trust for Public Land used several resilience factors to identify six subwaterhseds where conservation of robust populations of Heritage Brook Trout is most achievable: Beaver Creek, East Indian Creek, Rush Creek-Pine Creek, South Fork Root River, Zumbro Tributaries, and Whitewater River. Partners will harness their collective expertise in land protection and terrestrial and in-stream habitat restoration/enhancement to increase the resiliency of these coldwater systems and their Heritage Brook Trout. While restoring in-stream habitat has improved stream bank and aquatic habitat in many coldwater reaches, little work has been done restoring broader floodplain areas surrounding DNR easement corridors. Restoring floodplain forests, wet prairies and wetlands provides significant benefits to stream health and corridors provide habitat connectivity. Because of the Driftless Area's rugged terrain, the vast majority of its natural communities occupy steep slopes that play an important role in the region's hydrology. Protecting through targeted fee and easement acquisition and improving the condition of these forests and prairies through restoration and enhancement will improve their ability to slow runoff and increase infiltration. This will reduce sediment and nutrient delivery to streams and improve the hydrology of the watershed by reducing peak flows and increasing baseflows, while also improving plant diversity and habitat for wildlife in one of the most biologically diverse parts of Minnesota. Restoring habitat along the upper edges of steep forested slopes will help buffer the natural communities, while significantly slowing the formation and spread of gullies that deliver large amounts of sediment and nutrient runoff directly to streams.",,2020-07-01,,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,John,Lenczewski,"Minnesota Trout Unlimited","Southeast Trout Partnership PO Box 845",Chanhassen,MN,55317,"(612) 670-1629",jlenczewski@comcast.net,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Fillmore, Houston, Olmsted, Olmsted","Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/resilient-habitat-heritage-brook-trout,,,,

However, the state has lost half the wetlands that existed before European settlement and these drained wetlands have not been mapped as part of the National Wetlands Inventory. This appropriation is enabling efforts by Ducks Unlimited to provide a complement to the National Wetlands Inventory by identifying and mapping drained wetlands that have the potential to be restored to provide their various benefits once again. This data will be used to prioritize wetland restoration in the Red River Valley and the Prairie-Hardwood region of South-Central Minnesota. Mapping is taking place in 170 townships in Clay, Mahnomen, McLeod, Meeker, Nicollet, Norman, Renville, Sibley, Wilkin, and Wright counties. Overall Project Outcome and Results The Restorable Wetlands Inventory (RWI) is a complement to the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) completed in late-1980s by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. An administrative decision was made developing the original NWI not to map wetland basins in Minnesota identified as completely drained. The number and acreage of completely drained wetlands that were not mapped by the NWI process is significant. In Pope County alone, 25,000 acres of completely drained wetland acres were missed in the NWI mapping process - nearly 19% of the total wetland resources in that county. The RWI project identifies and digitizes the completely-drained depressional wetlands that were not mapped by the NWI process. Restorable wetlands mapping is based upon protocols established for NWI allowing seamless integration of the two datasets. The 2009 Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund appropriation provided the last project funding needed to complete, remaining RWI mapping for the glaciated, tallgrass prairie region of Minnesota - an additional 6,120 square miles. The mapping occurred in approximately 178 townships in Clay, Mahnomen, McLeod, Meeker, Nicollet, Norman, Renville, Sibley, Wilkin, and Wright Counties. In the Red River Valley Complex, over 132,000 individual restorable wetland basins were identified and mapped. In the Prairie-Hardwood Complex, almost 131,000 individual restorable wetland basins were identified and mapped. As in previous phase of the mapping project, partners included the LCCMR, Ducks Unlimited, Inc., and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The project targeted wetlands and prairies, two of the three most important habitats used by the Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Of the nearly 1200 known wildlife species in Minnesota, 292 species, or approximately one-fourth, are at risk because they are rare; their populations are declining due to loss of habitat. SGCN in the RIM Wetlands area include the Five-lined Skink, Blanding's Turtle, Two-spotted Skipper, Northern Pintail, American Black Duck, Grasshopper Sparrow, Upland Sandpiper, Sedge Wren, Dickcissel, and Western Grebe. In addition to the SGCN, the threatened or endangered species nclude the Dakota Skipper and Poweshiek Skipperling. Diverse vegetation, access to a water resource, and protection from pesticides are also important to Minnesota's native pollinator species. BWSR's native vegetation guidelines and pollinator initiative protect native pollinators. Complexes and corridors targeted through RIM Wetlands provide areas that are safe from pesticides and natural passageways for pollinators. Targeted pollinator species include the Monarch Butterfly and solitary bee species including Leafcutter Bees, Mason Bees, and Yellow-faced Bees. Prairie wetlands are important for migratory waterfowl. Although the North American Prairie Pothole region contains only about 10% of the waterfowl nesting habitat on the continent, it produces 70% of all North American waterfowl.

Only rain forests and coral reefs have more biodiversity. Wetlands are a home to many species of migratory and resident birds, reptiles and amphibians, fish, insects, and plants. They also benefit society by storing floodwaters, filtering pollutants, serving as a carbon sink, and providing recreation sites for boating and fishing. Minnesota has lost an estimated 42% of its original 16 million acres of wetlands to drainage or fill activities. The loss of wetlands is most severe in the prairie regions of the state (approximately 90% loss). Nearly 75 percent of all wetlands are privately owned, making it imperative that the public participate in wetland management and protection. Up to one-half of North American bird species nest or feed in wetlands and provide a home to at least one third of all threatened and endangered species.

With this project, some native prairie may be included to square up parcels. In cases where larger tracts are identified, they will contact the DNR's Biological Survey and Native Prairie Bank staff for a more formal botanical survey of the site. The loss of native prairie and grassland habitat is arguably the greatest conservation challenge facing northwest, western and southern Minnesota. This proposal aims to protect 936 acres of prairie and grassland habitat by coordinating and accelerating the enrollment in Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) through private land easements. This level of acceleration is needed to address today's rapid loss of grassland habitat and meet the goals set forth in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan.

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

The work resulted in a reduction of 2,939 tons/year of sediment, 2,909 pounds/year of phosphorus, 1,201 pounds/year of nitrate. Funds covered the costs of staff to design and engineer projects and assist landowners, including a Soil Health Technician and a Nutrient Management Specialist who contacted and/or provided technical assistance to 194 landowners in vulnerable drinking water supply management areas and nitrogen-impaired watersheds and townships. 207 field walkovers and multiple outreach events were focused in priority areas. Most outcomes were achieved in those priority areas and addressed surface water quality and groundwater protection, both of which are priority issues in the plan. Work also included refinement of analysis used to identify areas where implementation will yield the most benefit. All work was completed on time and on budget. Clean Water Funds provided leverage for the partnership to pursue and secure additional federal funds totaling $582,751 from the Regional Conservation Partnership Program; the partnership also secured state funds: $226,000 from the Cover Crop Demonstration Program and $269,356 from the Projects & Practices ?

Providing habitat for SGCN across two ecological provinces, the Rum also supports game fish and waterfowl. Land conversion, drainage, increased runoff, accelerated bank erosion, and invasive species threaten ecosystem stability of the Rum River corridor. SWCDs, counties, watershed groups, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, and The Nature Conservancy have come together to enhance walleye and smallmouth habitat and riparian ecosystems over the next 5 years by reducing erosion, installing structure, restoring hydrology, and enhancing native vegetation throughout this critical corridor.","The Rum River Corridor is critical for habitat and species richness for SGCN, and is included in the mapped Wildlife Action Network in Minnesota's Wildlife Action Plan. High development pressure along the Rum River, historic drainage system alteration, increased stormwater runoff, sedimentation, invasive species, and hydrologic changes all threaten the stability of this key wildlife corridor. While the Rum River continues to support a good fishery, the aforementioned threats have accelerated bank erosion and habitat degradation, undermining this robust ecosystem. Fortunately, opportunities abound to enhance smallmouth bass, walleye and other game fish habitat as well as riparian ecosystems by reducing erosion, installing structure, and enhancing native vegetation. To enhance the habitat value of this critical river corridor, we're partnering with Anoka County commissioners and staff, Rum River watershed organizations and partnerships, Isanti and Mille Lacs SWCDs, Isanti County, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, and The Nature Conservancy. We've also engaged DNR East Metro Fisheries as an advisor for in-stream fish habitat components. ACD will be the grant recipient and project lead. This proposal improves wildlife habitat throughout the Rum River corridor in three categories: streambank and in-channel stabilization; in-stream fish habitat with a focus on game fish; and riparian forest, wetland, and prairie enhancement in the Shoreland Zone. Projects will span from the Mille Lacs Lake outlet to the confluence of the Rum and Mississippi rivers in the City of Anoka. We anticipate enhancing 1,200 feet of streambank, 600 feet of in-stream fish habitat, and 45 acres of wetland habitat including wild rice on tribal lands. Phase 1 work to address actively eroding Rum riverbanks in Anoka County with wildlife-friendly bioengineering techniques is well under way. Phase 2 will expand the eligible area of this work to include all of the Rum River Corridor. Each stabilization project will include discrete elements designed solely to enhance habitat. Eighty actively eroding streambanks in need of shoreline stabilization and enhancement were inventoried in Anoka County alone. With guidance from DNR, in-stream features such as rock vanes and woody overhangs will be installed to provide holding and resting areas for game fish and forage in stretches of the river where structure is lacking. These features will increase habitat and fishing opportunities in areas not being enhanced with bank stabilization structure. Approximately 40 miles of shoreline are publicly owned along the Rum River where fish habitat enhancement will be prioritized, improving opportunities for quality shore fishing. Riparian habitat enhancement will extend throughout portions of the 2,500 acres of tribal, publicly owned, and permanently protected lands in the Shoreland Zone to enhance the connectedness and function of the corridor for all wildlife. The type of enhancement will be based on the habitat types present (forest, wetland, and prairie) and conservation need, including rare species. Enhancing each of these areas will help ensure this valuable corridor remains functionally intact for all types of wildlife from fish to migrating birds, and will improve recreational quality on a Wild, Scenic, and Recreational River.",,2023-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Chris,Lord,"Anoka Conservation District","1318 MCKAY DR NE UNIT 300 Suite 300","Ham Lake",MN,55304,7634342030,chris.lord@anokaswcd.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Isanti, Mille Lacs","Northern Forest, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rum-river-corridor-fish-and-wildlife-habitat-enhancement-phase-2-0,,,,

There is a growing Latino community in Fairfax and I want to learn new ways to be more inclusive and encourage them to participate. “Regional artists connect to new audiences and/or build relationships that provide artistic growth.” I want to find some inspiration and fresh ideas to host events that will connect new artists/mediums with our community. “Regional residents gain awareness and appreciation for a variety of artistic disciplines and mediums.” I would also like to learn how to make new events more successful and meaningful to the regional residents. I look forward to networking and learning from neighboring communities. The majority of my goals revolve around learning new ideas and new ways of conducting our arts events.

This appropriation must be matched by $120,000 of nonstate cash or qualifying in-kind funds. Up to $10,000 may be retained by the Department of Natural Resources at the request of the St. Croix River Association to provide technical and mapping assistance.

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.

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.

Site prioritization will focus on protecting and restoring habitat in key locations, such as existing high quality or easily restorable wetland complexes, upland forests, floodplain forests, and prairies. Prioritized sites will be protected to preserve and enhance critical habitat for waterfowl and other important wildlife species. The SRW is in a rapidly growing region of the state that has also experienced some of the most intense conversion from perennial cover to cropland in the past decade. Furthermore, public access for recreation, including hunting and fishing, is lacking. Landowner interest in conservation land protection and restoration is strong in the SRW. The partnership currently has easement interest from 45 high-quality properties, totaling 2,764 acres, in addition to eight known properties interested in fee simple acquisition. Protecting and restoring these interested properties will far exceed funding available through the Partnership's first OHF grant that comes online July 1, 2019. We anticipate significantly more interested and qualified properties for this project as outreach efforts grow. Conservation Easements: SRWD, with assistance from local SWCD partners, will conduct outreach to landowners within targeted priority areas identified using TNC's Multiple Benefits Analysis that has been completed for protection prioritization in the SRW. Interested landowners will submit proposals to MLT using a competitive request for proposal (RFP) process. MLT, with project partners, will rank properties based on ecological value and cost, prioritizing projects that provide the best ecological value and acquiring them at the lowest cost to the state. MLT will secure 420 acres of permanent conservation easements and develop restoration and habitat management plans for eased acres. Fee Acquisition: PF will coordinate with the MN DNR and USFWS on all potential fee simple acquisitions. PF will work with willing sellers to protect 330 acres of strategically identified parcels within the SRW and then donate the parcels to the MN DNR as a WMA or to USFWS as a WPA. Acquired tracts will be managed as wildlife habitat and provide public access in perpetuity within an area of our state where public land for recreational use is lacking. Restoration and Enhancement: SRWD will restore/enhance 257 acres of wetland, riparian and associated upland habitat in cooperation with county SWCDs, MLT, DU, USFWS, and TNC on permanently protected easement land.

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

Engineering and Construction Projects - Projects were undertaken to provide shallow lake and wetland enhancement totaling 871 acres through the engineering and construction of water control structures and other infrastructure at six project sites. The DNR cooperated with Pheasants Forever in restoring a Douglas County wetland. No acres are being reported by the DNR for this restoration, as Pheasants Forever will report them. Stand-alone Engineering: Shallow lake and wetland projects can be complex and require detailed surveys and engineering. Stand-alone engineering projects provide the initial work to guide future construction, establish detailed cost estimates, and identify potential issues. One project in Rice County had this work done through this appropriation. Work is already underway to use this information to move ahead with construction. Management Actions: Active management of shallow lakes and wetlands to enhance habitat involves a number of activities that promote management of vegetation (removal of undesirable vegetation or promoting desired vegetation), management of water levels to promote a desired condition, or removal of detrimental fish species. Nine projects totaling almost 7,500 acres were conducted and involved prescribed burning of wetlands, removal of woody vegetation, and herbicide applications. Roving Habitat Crews: Roving Habitat Crews are teams of highly trained staff who are equipped to perform habitat enhancement projects on public lands. Funding from this appropriation was provided to the Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew to enable it to perform wetland enhancement activities through the addition of two roving crew members and their associated costs for three fiscal years. Typical wetland enhancement activities undertaken by Roving Habitat Crews include prescribed burns of wetlands, removal of invasive species and trees, and support of shallow lake drawdowns. Of special note, Roving Habitat Crews provide the critical ground support staff for aerial cattail spraying. The Roving Habitat Crew supported by this appropriation was active in this work and the resulting acres will be reported in the Final Report for the appropriation that funded the helicopters and herbicide costs.

The outcome of the proposed habitat corridor will be evaluated by partnering with MN DNR and other local mussel and fish biologists to complete pre- and post-construction mussel and fish species richness and abundance surveys to better quantify the benefits of fish passage dam modifications to native mussel assemblages and fish populations",,,3132000,"City of Rochester Flood Control Program, City of Rochester Flood Control Program, City of Rochester Storm Water Utility Fund and Rochester Public Utilities",2368000,,,None,"City of Rochester","Local/Regional Government","The City of Rochester is proposing to modify the Silver Lake Dam with a fish passage rock arch rapids in 2025. This project is the first step in a comprehensive, long-term approach to modify all low head dams in the City to improve habitat connectivity in the South Fork Zumbro River network. The existing dam will be moved 700-ft upstream from the Broadway Avenue bridge, and fish passage ramp and wave pools constructed downstream of the dam crest. The dam conversion will add 16 miles of connected habitat and benefit state-threatened and native mussel species, as well as smallmouth bass.","The Silver Lake Dam was constructed in 1937 and is located at the Broadway Avenue bridge over the South Fork Zumbro River. Nine other low head dams were constructed in the 1990's as flood control structures within the City of Rochester. These dams form fish barriers between the South Fork Zumbro River, Cascade Creek, Silver Creek, and Bear Creek. The City of Rochester is proposing to modify the Silver Lake Dam with a fish passage rock arch rapids and wave pool channel by 2025. This project is the first step in a comprehensive, long-term approach to modify all low head dams in the City of Rochester for habitat connectivity. The existing concrete dam will be removed, and 700-ft of the upstream river channel will be shaped with rock fill with a cutoff wall control section at the upstream end of the fill. The City has an agreement with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to maintain Silver Lake as a flow channel. The City will construct a 120-ft wide rock ramp in the existing riverbed directly downstream of the cutoff wall control section based on DNR guidance for Natural Channel Design in Dam Removals and Fish Passage. The fish passage channel will include a ramp slope no steeper than 3 percent, a series of 12-14 rock arch weirs with drops no greater than 0.8-ft between each weir, randomly placed fish gaps between weir stones, and a low flow channel to maintain fish movement under low flow conditions. Adjacent to the rock arch rapids fish ramp, the City will construct a series of 4-5 stepped, plunge pools formed by stone weirs that create wave features for tubers and kayakers, as well as fish habitat pools. The proposed project was identified as a priority based on: 1) safety hazard of the recirculating currents that trap boaters and swimmers at the base of the dam, 2) increasing maintenance requirements of the aging Silver Lake Dam originally built in 1937, and 3) public support for environmental improvements to Silver Lake. The proposed project is urgently needed to address the safety hazard the Silver Lake Dam poses to river users. The Silver Lake Dam is #23 on the 2021 MN DNR Dam Safety Project Priority List Legislative Report as a dam modification to restore fish passage. Modification of the largest dam in Rochester for fish passage is also a publicly visible first step to modifying all low head dams in Rochester and reconnecting river habitat along the South Fork Zumbro River network. The City has used many different media events to get input on the project from a diverse and large number of community members: March 2019 open house attended by 80 people, November 2020 virtual open house attended by 1,607 people, post card mailings to 480 residents around Silver Lake, and social media posts viewed by 15,000 people.

They are also a safety factor in that our gallery manager will only have to climb on a ladder and change lights every 6 years! (2) LED Lights are less expensive to operate. The Alliance will save 5% on electrical costs once they are installed. (3) LED lights provide the best natural light for viewing exhibits. Our Artists are looking forward to this museum quality light, and the Alliance expects that the number of exhibitors will increase by 5%. (4) The quality of light will also be an inducement for attracting quality traveling exhibits. The Alliance expects to schedule one traveling show each year. (5) The Alliance expects that an increase in both exhibitors and traveling exhibits will increase the number of people who visit the gallery. Daily attendance is tracked by the gallery manager.While the board of directors and the gallery committee meet monthly and may make adjustments to the programs and events, they, along with staff, evaluate all aspects of the operation in the spring prior to approving the programs, goals, and budget for the forthcoming year. During the year and before submitting a grant application to Central Minnesota Arts Board, the grant writer reviews prior applicable grant requests to ascertain if stated outcomes were achieved.","Energy and financial savings for the Gallery and Gift Shop: LED lights statistically use 75% less electricity, last 7500 hours which is approximately 25 times longer than traditional incandescent light bulbs. Because these lights were installed in a new building/gallery, we are unable to do a cost comparison from previous year's electrical costs, but we haven't had to change any light bulbs yet. We have heard many compliments from artists and visitors on the nice lighting especially on cloudy days and in the shorter days of winter when we rely on the lights to see gallery and gift shop art pieces. An anticipated outcome that was stated in the original grant request was that we would increase our artists/exhibitors over the previous year due to the museum quality lighting. Our artist numbers this year over last are: Fiscal Year 2014: 227 adults, 90 youth; Fiscal Year 2013: 198. Also, we have seen an increase in visitors to the Gallery and Gift Shop: Fiscal Year 2014: 5453 adults, 455 youth; Fiscal Year 2013: 2660 adults, 259 Youth. Unfortunately, we cannot attribute this increase strictly to the new lighting.

Soils data is used by governments, farmers, and other businesses for a number of purposes from protection and restoration of soil, water, wetlands, and habitats to agricultural soil management to building construction. This appropriation will accelerate the mapping and digitization of soil surveys for Crow Wing, Pine, Koochiching, Lake, Cook, and Saint Louis counties. Overall Project Outcome and Results Accurate soils information is essential for evaluating the potential for land to support development, crop and forest production, and for identifying the most suitable locations for conservation practices and other land uses. Readily accessible local soil information is critical to informing conservation decisions and provides a foundation for sustainable land use planning. The soil survey is the mechanism for how this basic natural resource information is made available to land use authorities and landowners to make the best land use decisions. In the ongoing, multi-year project to map, classify, interpret, and Web-publish an inventory of the soils of Minnesota, this two-year phase of the project focused on accelerating the completion of a Statewide soil survey, increase soil mapping in targeted areas, and enhancing soils data through increased sample collection, availability and interpretation. Specifically: 330,000 acres mapped in Crow Wing County; 32,000 acres mapped in Pine County; 85,000 acres mapped in Koochiching County; 80,000 acres mapped in the Crane Lake subset of St. Louis County; 219,000 acres mapped in Lake County; 114,000 acres mapped in Cook County; Data from 1,000 soil samples (some dating back to the 1970's) were interpreted for the first time and incorporated into Soil Surveys for many Minnesota counties; Land use effects on soil carbon were determined on 122 sites in 14 counties throughout the State; this data can be used to develop soil carbon management guidance.   The soil survey project was extremely successful and many of the mapping goals were exceeded. Mapping surpassed initial acreage goals in both Crow Wing, Lake, Cook and Pine Counties, and the soil surveys for Koochiching and St. Louis Counties were completed 1 year ahead of schedule. A report detailing the results of re-analysis of lab samples from the 1970's highlighting land use impacts on soil carbon is available below and on BWSR's State Soil Office website. Project Results Use and Dissemination The Soil Survey project funded by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund is highlighted as a BWSR feature project on the Agency's home page. All the data, mapping information, and interpretations are available on the Web Soil Survey as a user-friendly, GIS-based application.

The timeline was revised as follows: May- June: Stakeholder interviews and needs analysis, June- August: Develop content and narratives, develop contact and interview list, July- Nov 30th: Filming begins with identified community members and background footage. We are on schedule with our milestones to date. To begin the project, we interviewed community members and community partners with a focus in Rice County. Our community partners included: Healthy Communities Initiative, Workforce Development, Metro Youth Diversion, Jennie-O Turkey, and others. As we progressed, we identified common themes that arose in our conversations. The interviews revealed a need for a greater understanding of Somali culture in the following three areas: Somali youth engagement, Somali culture in the workplace, and Somali women in their community. Through referrals from our community partners and our own networks, we developed a list of people whom we'd like to interview. Poet Nation Media developed a list of questions related to our narratives and began interviews. In December, the Program Team was shown a preview of the content thus far. Our filmmaker has called his work 'edutainment.' Through this approach, we strive to address misconceptions and ignorance with humor and art, using video as our medium. We believe the videos, when complete, will be useful in many sectors: from business HR departments, workforce development partners, community health professionals, and community organizations such as the Rotary and local churches. The need for this work to be presented to businesses in Rice County is great. ; The funding provided through this grant has yielded substantial and impactful results, greatly advancing our mission to enhance understanding and support for the Somali community. Through careful planning, dedicated execution, and rigorous evaluation, we have achieved significant milestones. Work Accomplished: Local communities had the opportunity to learn about Somali culture and heritage. Also, many second-generation Americans with Somali parents were able to gain an understanding of their ancestral backgrounds that they hadn't had before. This has inspired conversations for the younger generations to take pride in their culture and act as a bridge between both sides. Video Series Production: Poet Nation Media and the Somali Community Resettlement Services collaborated to produce a comprehensive video series that delves into key topics relevant to organizations working with Somali communities. Among the segments, there are explorations of Somali youth, Somali women, Somalis in the workplace, and the integration of Somali youth born and raised in America into their cultural heritage. The series provides insight into changes within the Somali community as it adapts to new surroundings. Expert Interviews: Working in collaboration, Poet Nation and the Somali Community and Resettlement Services conducted a collection of in-depth interviews with experts. The interviewees consisted of both Somali Americans and recent arrivals who possessed extensive knowledge of Somali culture, tradition, folklore, language development, evolving communities post-resettlement to different parts of the world, and many other topics. These interviews offered valuable insights into various aspects of Somali life such as unique cultural practices and challenges encountered during the immigrant experience when settling in Minnesota. Scripting and Storyboarding: Developed meticulous scripts and storyboards for each video segment, ensuring a clear, cohesive, and culturally sensitive narrative. This process involved careful consideration of the information to be conveyed and its resonance with the intended audience. Filming and Production: Filmed interviews at SCRS's offices, providing a conducive environment for experts to share their knowledge. Poet Nation Media's expertise in video production ensured high-quality recordings with professional visuals and audio. Post-Production and Editing: Engaged in thorough post-production and editing, seamlessly integrating graphics, visuals, and overlays to enhance the overall viewing experience. The final product is a polished, informative, and engaging video series. Achievement of Goals: The goals set forth in the training units have been effectively addressed through the video series. These include: Understanding Somali Culture: The videos offer comprehensive insights into Somali culture, covering topics such as cultural and religious distinctives, communication styles, and diverse cultural facets. This information serves as a foundational resource for organizations working with Somali communities. Navigating Challenges and Opportunities: By addressing challenges faced in the immigrant experience, including issues related to youth, mental health, language, and racism, the videos equip organizations with a nuanced understanding of the unique hurdles Somali individuals may encounter. They also highlight opportunities for building stronger connections within the community. Thriving in Organizations: The videos shed light on how Somalis have not only adapted but thrived in Minnesota. This includes discussions on faith, cultural celebrations, and practical considerations like prayer spaces and communication pathways within organizations. The collaboration with Poet Nation Media and the creation of these training videos represent a significant step forward in providing valuable resources for organizations working with Somali communities. These videos are poised to serve as a vital tool in enhancing cultural competence and improving the effectiveness of services provided. We look forward to the positive impact this initiative will have on the community and the organizations involved.",,,"No other funds were leveraged for this period. .

This would be the fourth volume in the Poetic Strokes series – previous contests took place in 1999-2001 and had ceased due to limited funding. The revival of Poetic Strokes was a definite need in the SELCO region as library staff and patrons were looking for an opportunity to showcase the talent in southeastern Minnesota. 118 poets submitted a total of 280 poems for judging from 30 different communities, representing all 11 SELCO counties. 42 poems by 30 poets were selected by the judging panel for publication in the 2010 Poetic Strokes anthology. After publication, 1,500 copies of Poetic Strokes were provided to the contributing poets, SELCO member libraries, and members of the Minnesota Legislature, including the Governor. A local selected poet mentioned the Poetic Strokes contest in her blog, and Minnesota Governor Pawlenty sent a signed letter of thanks and appreciation to SELCO staff for promoting reading and literature. SELCO staff surveyed all participating poets and found it was a wonderful experience for most all participants. 100% of participating poets returning surveys found that the Poetic Strokes contest met their expectations, was enjoyable, and increased interest in writing poetry. 78% of participating poets returning surveys said they were more likely to submit to future Poetic Strokes contests and other writing contests. 89% of participating poets returning surveys were more likely to read local poets and poetry in general, and 78% were more likely to connect with other local poets. 100% of surveyed library patrons thought Poetic Strokes enhanced their knowledge and understanding of local poets, increased their interest in reading and writing poetry, and made them more likely to attend future poetry workshops and readings at the library. SELCO is committed to improving the collection process of outcomes for the second year of Poetic Strokes by increasing ways to publicize to hit more of the SELCO’s 11 counties to increase participation and to work closely with writers groups to establish poetry readings and workshops around the SELCO region. Bringing Spanish Poetry to Life in SE Minnesota Bringing Spanish Poetry to Life in SE Minnesota brought the Deborah Elias Danza Española Company (St. Paul, MN) to five communities in southeastern Minnesota. The program provided both classroom lecture/demonstrations and public performances of “The Moon’s Desire.” Both of these activities focused on acquainting the audience with poet Federico García Lorca and Spanish poetry in general as well as Spanish music and dance. Throughout the course of the program, 12 partners assisted in the delivery of performances. The schools not only provided students and classroom time, the Spanish classes studied poetry and traditional dance weeks prior to the presentations. The public libraries assisted in promotion for the public performances with displays of relevant library material to attract attention. Other organizations either hosted the public performance and/or assisted with additional promotion and program preparation. The 20 classroom presentations were attended by 586 students. The four public performances had a total of 283 attendees. Combined, there were 869 audience members for this program. All survey respondents said there was an increase in their awareness of Lorca and of the flamenco dancing style. The public performances yielded a desire to learn more of Spanish poetry and the students said they learned more of the language and culture of Spain. Amusingly, one student at LaCrescent found ways around her schedule to attend the program in three different classes.

The funds enable SELCO and member libraries to connect with authors, playwrights, musicians, story tellers, and other arts activities providing a strong program connect for all Minnesotans with the arts and cultural heritage activities. Despite the tremendous success of this grant program the demand for arts and cultural activities throughout the twelve library regions exceed the available resources. ",,"Total Number of Programs Held:98 Total Attendance:31,757 Total Number of Partnerships:140 In-Kind Staff and Partnership Contributions: $154,985 Program Highlights Poetic Strokes The Poetic Strokes contest called for local poets to submit an original piece to be considered for publication in the regional anthology, Poetic Strokes. This would be the fourth volume in the Poetic Strokes series – previous contests took place in 1999-2001 and had ceased due to limited funding. The revival of Poetic Strokes was a definite need in the SELCO region as library staff and patrons were looking for an opportunity to showcase the talent in southeastern Minnesota. 118 poets submitted a total of 280 poems for judging from 30 different communities, representing all 11 SELCO counties. 42 poems by 30 poets were selected by the judging panel for publication in the 2010 Poetic Strokes anthology. After publication, 1,500 copies of Poetic Strokes were provided to the contributing poets, SELCO member libraries, and members of the Minnesota Legislature, including the Governor. A local selected poet mentioned the Poetic Strokes contest in her blog, and Minnesota Governor Pawlenty sent a signed letter of thanks and appreciation to SELCO staff for promoting reading and literature. SELCO staff surveyed all participating poets and found it was a wonderful experience for most all participants. 100% of participating poets returning surveys found that the Poetic Strokes contest met their expectations, was enjoyable, and increased interest in writing poetry. 78% of participating poets returning surveys said they were more likely to submit to future Poetic Strokes contests and other writing contests. 89% of participating poets returning surveys were more likely to read local poets and poetry in general, and 78% were more likely to connect with other local poets. 100% of surveyed library patrons thought Poetic Strokes enhanced their knowledge and understanding of local poets, increased their interest in reading and writing poetry, and made them more likely to attend future poetry workshops and readings at the library. SELCO is committed to improving the collection process of outcomes for the second year of Poetic Strokes by increasing ways to publicize to hit more of the SELCO’s 11 counties to increase participation and to work closely with writers groups to establish poetry readings and workshops around the SELCO region. Bringing Spanish Poetry to Life in SE Minnesota Bringing Spanish Poetry to Life in SE Minnesota brought the Deborah Elias Danza Española Company (St. Paul, MN) to five communities in southeastern Minnesota. The program provided both classroom lecture/demonstrations and public performances of “The Moon’s Desire.” Both of these activities focused on acquainting the audience with poet Federico García Lorca and Spanish poetry in general as well as Spanish music and dance. Throughout the course of the program, 12 partners assisted in the delivery of performances. The schools not only provided students and classroom time, the Spanish classes studied poetry and traditional dance weeks prior to the presentations. The public libraries assisted in promotion for the public performances with displays of relevant library material to attract attention. Other organizations either hosted the public performance and/or assisted with additional promotion and program preparation. The 20 classroom presentations were attended by 586 students. The four public performances had a total of 283 attendees. Combined, there were 869 audience members for this program. All survey respondents said there was an increase in their awareness of Lorca and of the flamenco dancing style. The public performances yielded a desire to learn more of Spanish poetry and the students said they learned more of the language and culture of Spain. Amusingly, one student at LaCrescent found ways around her schedule to attend the program in three different classes.

This proposal will work in concert with work being done by Isanti County Zoning to develop more restrictive shoreland ordinances. Finally, this proposal includes continued engagement or residents and local government staff and officials to promote a sustainable culture of lake stewardship. Spectacle Lake, located within the Rum River watershed, is locally referred to as the ?gem of Isanti County?. The Rum River WRAPS (2014) and recent work completed by Paul Radomski identified Spectacle Lake as the second most likely lake in the watershed (behind Lake Mille Lacs) to see substantial declines in water clarity with increasing nutrient loads. Increased nutrient loads are likely to occur as development and redevelopment increases in the shoreland areas; 35 new homes are platted for development within the next five years. Additionally, Isanti County has seen an increase in the conversion from seasonal to year-round homes on the lake; these changes nearly always result in an increase in impervious surface. The in-lake phosphorus goal set for the lake in the Rum WRAPS and other protection work is 13ug/L. This reflects a 21-pound reduction in watershed phosphorus loading. The proposed projects reduce phosphorus by 13.7 lbs annually.

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 water to these springs and to learn how these waters might be affected by development and water use. Overall Project Outcome and Results Native trout require clean, cold water that usually originates from springs, but the springs feeding the 173 designated trout streams in southeastern Minnesota are under increasing pressure from current and expected changes in land use. This joint effort by the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources continued an ongoing effort begun in 2007 that is working to identify and map the springs and the areas that feed water to these springs and to learn how these waters might be affected by development and water use. Springshed delineation provides critical information for the protection and management of the springs that form the coldwater streams of southeast Minnesota. Our primary tool is fluorescent dye tracing. During the two-year period of Phase II, the U of M in collaboration with the DNR conducted 26 traces in Fillmore, Houston, Winona and Wabasha counties that mapped over 12,000 acres. Each individual trace typically has involved two or more different tracers with up to five different tracers employed in one trace. These traces are expanding the tools available for the springshed mapping, while defining new springsheds and refining the boundaries of known springsheds. These traces have been conducted in the Galena, Prairie du Chien and St. Lawrence springshed areas. Additionally, data monitoring equipment was also added as an additional component in this phase. The availability of new, high resolution LiDAR data also provided an important new tool that is being utilized to locate sinkholes, sinking streams, and spring as part of the springshed mapping effort. We coordinated our efforts with other LCCMR funded programs in SE Minnesota and with ongoing resource management efforts by the DNR, MPCA and Agriculture Department State agencies. Six of the dye traces were done in coordination with local governmental staff in order to support the Root River pilot project of the Mississippi River Basin Initiative (MRBI) in Minnesota. We are working with the MPCA's TMDL efforts in SE Minnesota. Project Results Use and Dissemination The dissemination of the results of this project proceeded at several levels. We provided interim results to local landowners and to local, county, regional, and state agency staff and resource managers. MPCA staff, for example, routinely contact us with questions about karst features in SE Minn. We worked synergistically with other LCCMR funded research projects and with a range of resource management efforts. The generation and dissemination of the maps and written reports was part student educational projects - including local high school students, university students, interns, graduate student theses, post Doctoral researchers, and various colleagues. We lead and participated in fieldtrips sponsored by LCCMR, the MGWA, and other groups focused on protecting SE MN trout streams and water resources. We worked collaboratively with MPCA, DNR, Department of Agriculture and other agencies to expand and complement the LCCMR funded work. A dozen reports on the interim results of this project were presented at state and national scientific meetings.

Overall Project Outcome and Results Springshed delineation provides critical information for the protection and management of the springs that form the coldwater streams of southeast Minnesota. Our primary tool is fluorescent dye tracing. During the two-year period of Phase II, DNR (in cooperation with the U of M) conducted 26 traces in Fillmore, Houston, Winona and Wabasha counties that mapped over 12,000 acres. The Fillmore County traces were in the Galena Formation. We discovered three previously unmapped springsheds and expanded the boundaries of five known springsheds. The expanded boundary springsheds were in the Watson Creek and South Fork Root watersheds, target areas for the local, state and federal Root River Initiative. The new springsheds are in the Crystal Creek watershed. These traces enhanced MDA watershed research and education efforts. The traces in Houston, Winona and Wabasha were in the St. Lawrence Formation. This work expanded the geographic range of St. Lawrence traces and demonstrated that conduit flow in the St. Lawrence (a confining unit in the state well code) is a regional phenomenon. Four new springsheds were located in the St. Lawrence. Two of the traces in Houston County were run from streams that do not disappear into the St. Lawrence but flow continually across it. Both of those traces were detected at springs and one was detected in a private well. This indicates that St. Lawrence groundwater across southeast Minnesota could be impacted by the surface water quality of streams crossing the formation in shallow conditions. Solinst level-temperature-conductivity loggers were purchased in the second year of the project. The data from them has shown that Prairie du Chien formation springs can be monitored for minor temperature fluctuations. Detecting these fluctuations has allowed us to conclude that the monitored springs are affected by snowmelt runoff. This information will be used for spring assessment protocol development. Project Results Use and Dissemination The project manager has spoken about the project and its results to local, state and federal officials, citizen groups, anglers, local, state and federal agency staff, and met one-on-one with numerous landowners. Project results are part of the base data for Root River Initiative watershed management efforts in the Watson Creek and Rush Pine watersheds. MPCA staff are using the maps as part of their nitrate-TMDL development. MDA staff are using the springshed maps to modify their watershed research in the Crystal Creek watershed. The project was featured on MPR when a reporter accompanied the project manager on a spring snowmelt runoff dye trace near Canton, MN. Two traces were conducted in cooperation with the earth science class at Fillmore Central High School in Harmony. The students assisted with dye input and sampling.

These lands have been incorporated into the State Forest program of the Outdoor Recreation System, and will be sustainably managed for quality wildlife habitat, timber production, and public recreation in perpetuity. Additionally, over 300 acres of sensitive floodplain forest habitat were enhanced using a variety of methods.","In working with local conservation partners, DNR Forestry staff identified opportunities to acquire lands in the Richard J. Dorer State Forest that best met forest management objectives. Parcels were identified through discussions with willing private land owners, and ranked using DNR's strategic land asset management (SLAM) tool, with priority given to those that improved public land access to state lands, consolidated fragmented ownership boundaries, and provided protection of critical forest habitats. Due to a variety of circumstances, several of the larger acquisition projects targeted with this appropriation were unable to be successfully completed. In total we were able to protect one parcel for 43 acres; far below the original goal of 300 acres. RJD Pleasant Grove, Olmstead County - This parcel consists of high quality wet mesic blue beech and bitternut hickory riparian forest along nearly 425 feet of Partridge Creek. It is ranked outstanding in biodiversity significance by the MN Biological Survey (MBS), and contains at least one plant species that is listed as state threatened, and several other species of greatest conservation need. Protection of this parcel helps provide an important buffer against nearby agricultural lands, and helps mitigate water quality issues in Partridge Creek. Enhancement projects were focused on sensitive floodplain forest communities in the southeastern ecological section of the state that were degraded with invasive species and at risk of failing to regenerate. In total we were able to enhance over 300 acres of native forest plant communities. Our initial plan to enhance these sites included both removal of invasive woody species and underplanting of native trees. However due to limited availability of appropriate native seedlings, we instead limited planting to a single critical site along Clear Lake in Goodhue County. This provided an opportunity to expand our invasive species control efforts to a greater number of sites, and resulted in treatment of more than double our initial enhancement goal of 130 acres. Efforts included controlling for terrestrial non-native species through a variety of treatment methods, including selective cutting, girdling, and herbicide applications targeting woody invasive shrubs. Forest species diversity was also enhanced through selective overstory thinning, site preparation, and planting of under-represented native tree species using specialized root production method (RPM) planting stock. Use of RPM hardwood seedlings in floodplain restoration ensures better site enhancement success by promoting rapid establishment of native trees in riparian areas before invasive species can gain a foothold.",,2018-07-01,2023-03-31,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jeff,Busse,"MN DNR Forestry","500 Lafayette Road ","St. Paul",MN,55155-0044,"(651) 259-5270",Jeff.busse@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Olmsted, Winona","Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/state-forest-acquisition-richard-j-dorer-memorial-forest-phase-v,,,,

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2013, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,,,,,"Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve","Public College/University"," PROJECT OVERVIEW Perennial grasslands have the potential to provide Minnesota with locally grown energy sources that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve water quality, and provide other important benefits. However, much remains unknown about how these crops will be impacted by factors such as climate change and invasive species. Through this appropriation, researchers at the University of Minnesota's Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve will study how irrigation, fertilization, and climate warming impact perennial grassland biofuel crops in terms of yield, carbon sequestration, plant biodiversity, water quality, and susceptibility to invasive species. Findings will be used to develop methods for optimizing biofuel production, carbon storage, and habitat restoration.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Minnesota's perennial grasslands produce considerable biomass that could become a valuable resource for producing renewable energy. How might Minnesota's capacity to produce biomass for biofuels be impacted by climate change and anticipated mitigation practices? We explored the impacts of warming, fertilization, and irrigation on biomass production at the Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. Our major overall finding is that high diversity mixtures of prairie perennials provided the best combination of biomass production, invasion resistance, carbon storage in soil, and response to climate warming of all the biomass crops we tested. Specific findings from the Climate Experiment include:Compared to low diversity mixtures of prairie plant species, high diversity mixtures produced much more biomass when experiencing normal weather, were more resilient to the stress of warming, and had their biomass production increase the most from warming.High diversity mixes enhanced ecosystem services more than low diversity mixes by sequestering more carbon in soils and being less prone to invasion by non-native species.Warming inhibited seed establishment. This could reduce invasions by non-native species, but might threaten establishment of native prairie restorations.The Fertilization & Irrigation Experiment found:Fertilization had similar impacts across all species mixtures.Moderate fertilization and irrigation increased productivity, with the largest effects in the Panicum, Panicum+Grasses, and High Diversity plots.Overall findings on plant invasion showed:Invasion is inhibited by higher diversity species mixtures.A potential biofuel crop, Miscanthus (as a sterile hybrid), was ineffective at producing biomass in central Minnesota, at least on sandy, drier soils. It had detectable, but moderate invasion into native prairies.This research has been documented in one publication. Two manuscripts have been submitted and are either in review or under revision. Another manuscript is in preparation. We anticipate additional publications will follow. In 2012, the education programming Cedar Creek reached 6,619 users, including K-12 students, teachers, and the general public. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The data from these studies will be included in Cedar Creek's database and made publicly available on the Cedar Creek website. Researchers around the world access and use the data on this site for diverse ecological analyses in many research areas including, among others, biodiversity, invasion, and climate change studies. The results of these studies are integrated into the educational programming and outreach at Cedar Creek. In 2012, 1,777 K-12 students participated in on-site programs. 1,062 K-12 students participated in off-site programs. Furthermore, 120 K-12 teachers participated in professional development opportunities at Cedar Creek and in their schools. At the university level, 845 students and faculty have made use of Cedar Creek programs, courses, meetings, and workshops both on and off-site. There have been 1,070 visitors to the experimental sites where this study took place. One journal article that documents findings from this study has been published. See: Isbell, F., 2013, Nutrient enrichment, biodiversity loss, and consequent declines in ecosystem productivity, PNAS, 110: 29. A second publication by Heather Whittington is under revision in Oecologia and a third has been submitted to Functional Biology. Jane Cowles has a fourth article in preparation.

ALP's 2022-2023 cohort is currently in progress. Between the two cohorts, LatinoLEAD staff in collaboration with leaders across sectors revised the curriculum to better meet the needs of the Latine community. The current cohort has had very positive feedback on the programming to date. Here are written comments from one of our participants:Good morning, esteemed guests, faculty members, and my fellow graduates. It is an honor to stand before you today as we celebrate our graduation. I want to express my deepest gratitude to all those who have supported us throughout this transformative journey. This includes everyone here, those who are not here with us now, and those who are with us in spirit. As I reflect on my experience in the program, three words come to mind: discovering, empowering, and healing. Each of us has had a unique path, and I have been moved by the vulnerability and strength displayed by my fellow cohort members as we created and shared our stories of self. Growing up as a member of the Latino community, I have faced numerous challenges. From discrimination to incarceration, hurdles in accessing capital to being affected by the housing crisis, I have encountered my fair share of adversity. I've had to navigate collection calls, immigration discussions within my family, and the pain of witnessing friends and family deported or self-deported. Moments of fear, frustration, and grief have left their mark. You might look at someone who has faced these obstacles and wonder how they haven't already quit and become totally resigned. The LatinoLEAD ALP revealed a truth that I had with me all along but was undistinguished, I learned the importance of taking risks despite the environment and persevering even in the face of failure. These experiences have fueled my determination to bring about positive change, ensuring that future generations do not suffer unjustly. One of the invaluable lessons we learned in this program is the Social Change Ecosystem Framework. It has allowed us to identify the unique roles we can play within the broader ecosystem. For me, one role I aspire to is that of a healer. I believe in the power of empathy, compassion, and addressing the underlying wounds that plague our communities. Healers are conscious of the various layers, wounds, and traumas that need attention at multiple levels (individually, organizationally, and societally) and understand their interconnections. Healers recognized the importance of holding space for our wounds while also offering approaches to transform them into wisdom and strength. They refocus our attention on accountability and repair while guiding us through moments and spaces of deep vulnerability. Looking at the incredible group of graduates before me, I am in awe. We represent a tapestry of backgrounds, spanning all sectors from non-profits to government, education to the private sector. We come from different walks of life, diverse countries, and varied immigration experiences. We are beautiful, and we are powerful. Together, we embody the potential to become the transformational leaders our communities need. As we move forward, let us remember that our impact extends far beyond our individual spheres of influence. Together, we can collaborate, support one another, and ignite a collective fire that will blaze a trail of progress. However, this will require us to take risks, to connect, to work, to listen, to share, to demand, to show up. Personal narratives have the power to foster social change. By sharing our stories and values, we can disrupt the dominant narrative that often marginalizes and silences us. Our stories can challenge stereotypes, shift perspectives, and inspire action. As we step into our roles as leaders, let us be intentional about amplifying diverse voices. Let us create platforms and initiatives that empower others to share their narratives and experiences. By doing so, we not only uplift individuals but also contribute to the creation of a more inclusive and equitable society. In conclusion, I implore you, my fellow graduates and all those present, to embrace risk, fail beautifully, and repeat. Take that leap of faith, knowing that failure is not the end but a stepping stone on the path to success. Develop a callus for failure. Let us be unafraid to learn from our mistakes and persevere in the face of adversity. Keep moving forward. In our pursuit of social change, let us be the change-makers, the bridge-builders, and the healers, weavers, experimenters, frontline responders, visionaries, builders, caregivers, disrupters, storytellers, and guides our communities need. Together, we can create a future where everyone's voice is valued, where justice and equality prevail, and where no one is left behind. A future of equity, liberation, justice, and solidarity. As we embark on our individual journeys, let us remember the power of unity, the strength of our collective voice, and the resilience that resides within us. Congratulations, ALP Class of 2023.

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. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Information from this project was widely disseminated. A map of the delineated springsheds and a document on Spring Assessment Protocols were produced and submitted to the LCCMR and will be published by the Minnesota Geological Survey. The springshed coverage is being used by state and local governments to target areas for conservation efforts and for Clean Water Fund project ranking. The springshed mapping will be used by the DNR for Silica Sand Mining Trout Stream Setback permitting and in Water Appropriation permit review. Project information was presented to numerous groups including the SE MN Water Resources Board, Root River Technical Advisor Group, Fillmore County Local Water Planning committee, Southeast Minnesota County and State Feedlot officers, Midwest Federal Agency Senior Managers, and at Silica Sand mining forums in Red Wing, Lewiston, La Crescent, and Winona.

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

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

State Legislature Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 8, (d)","$850,000 the first year and $850,000 the second year are for a competitive grants program to provide grants to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Minnesota. (2) Of this amount, $250,000 the first year is for a grant to one or more community organizations that provide arts and cultural heritage programming celebrating Somali heritage. ","The goals of West Bank Athletic Club’s programming and our year-round tournaments are: Provide a platform for Somali youth to build teamwork and feel a sense of belonging and purpose Build the knowledge, skills, values and motivation of Somali youth to make a difference in civic life Strengthen our community by facilitating community connections and social cohesion Celebrate Somali culture and increase understanding across cultures West Bank Athletic Club aims to help more youth in our community feel a sense of belonging, have opportunities to build leadership and other skills, and have the support they need to succeed. We hope that through soccer and soccer tournaments, we can build community connections both within and between communities and cultures. ","As proposed, we hosted a 7-day soccer tournament that engaged 16 teams of Somali youth from Minnesota and across the country. Our application proposed a Thanksgiving (2019) tournament that would incorporate Somali poets and singers. Because of the short timeline in proximity of fund notification, we adjusted the dates of our proposed project to take place in Spring, 2020 by hosting a Spring break tournament. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and facility closures, we had to push the funded project to Summer 2020 so we could access open facilities and host activities outside. We thus hosted a tournament from August 3rd through 9th, 2020. The tournament hosted 16 teams from the following states: 8 - Minnesota, 2- Lewiston, Maine 1- Denver, CO 1- Syracuse, New York 2- Grand Forks, ND 1- Seattle, WA 1- Louisville, Kentucky   There were approximately 30 players per team, totaling 480 young people. We hosted 31 games over seven days. The tournament took place at six Different Locations including Kennedy High School in Bloomington, Jefferson High School in Bloomington, Como Park in St. Paul, and fields in Woodbury, at Fort Snelling, and in Minnetonka. We also hosted a Somali DJ who played Somali songs for two days during the tournament and a Somali singer, Hussein Shaqi, who performed to closeout the tournament. The tournament provided an opportunity for teams to connect with each other and with other Somali and non-Somali youth throughout the state and the county, in particular during a time when individuals and youth are struggling with isolation. After stay at home orders, young people are looking more than ever for community and connections. The tournament and Festival provided a safe way to do that (because it was primarily outdoors, not in close quarters, and without a large audience). The youth were able to engage with and celebrate Somali culture by playing soccer and experiencing Somali music. Covid-19 made it difficult if not impossible - and unsafe - to engage Somali and non-Somali audience members. The project did build understanding across cultures among others involved, including Coaches, referees, staff of the various venues, and the players.

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

The funding from this allocation was used to protect and restore approximately 480 acres of floodplain forest, wetland, and grassland habitat along the Wild Rice River. ","The long-term goal of the Wild Rice River Corridor Habitat Restoration Project is to restore a natural corridor area along the Lower Reach of the Wild Rice River. When completed, the project will restore 23 channelized river miles to 50 miles of natural stream channel. Due to the overall size of the initiative, it is planned that the project will be conducted in multiple phases over the next decades. The phases were established to allow both for orderly implementation of the project and to ensure that wildlife and habitat benefits would be gained from the onset of implementation. The following describes the anticipated phases and major work items anticipated under each phase. Phase 1 Land Acquisition/Restoration: This phase will involve acquisition of a Conservation Easements to provide the Wild Rice Watershed District land rights to install and maintain future phases of implementation. As part of this phase, the production of agricultural crops within the parcel would cease and the area would be restored to a permanent vegetative cover by the landowner as set forth in the Conservation Easement conservation plan. Phase 2: Detailed Design and Setback Levee Construction. Once a significant reach of property has been enrolled as part of Phase 1 and detailed design for the corridor restoration has been completed, the existing river-side levees would be decommissioned and replaced with new levees setback further from the river. The alignment of these levees would be established to maximize the use of the available Phase 1 corridor and to allow for future implementation of Channel Rehabilitation under Phase 3. Phase 3: Channel Rehabilitation. Phase 3 will involve restoration of the channel along an approximately 23-mile segment of river. This restoration will reconnect many segments of the natural river that were cutoff by the channelized, leveed river channel. Reconnecting the floodplain will also benefit adjacent prairie and wetlands. During this phase, it is anticipated that a combination of modifications to historic oxbows that were cut off during the earlier straightening project and new meandering river channel segments would be constructed to create a long-term stable river channel. In addition, wetlands will be restored where determined practicable and compatible with setback levee and channel rehabilitation locations.

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.

Additional goals are to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for impaired stream reaches and Rice Lake, which will be documented in a TMDL Report. The consultant will apply the existing calibrated and validated Zumbro River Watershed HSPF model to construct load duration curves to develop TMDLs. The contractor will deliver a technical memorandum documenting the sensitivity analyses, all of the modeling files in the form of a model package, as well as a draft and final TMDL report.
