A list of proposed acquisitions and stream and lake habitat restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. The accomplishment plan must include an easement monitoring and enforcement plan.",,"Protect in fee 504 acres, easement 585 acres and Restore/Enhance 537 acres of Habitats",,752500,"value/cash donation",6464000,34900,,1.5,"MN DNR","State Government","We protected 22.3 miles of trout streams and 1.3 miles of lakeshore via easements (585 acres in total), and 7.4 miles (504 acres) of lakeshore through fee-title purchase. We enhanced shoreline habitat on 524 acres of riparian land, and instream habitat on 3.1 miles of trout streams and 0.5 miles of warmwater rivers. ",,"Final Report: http://www.lsohc.leg.mn/FY2012/accomp_plan/5a.pdf Protection of streams through conservation easements was enabled by the hiring of two easement specialists to work on acquisition. One position was funded through OHF, while the other leveraged funds from a Great Lakes Restoration grant. These positions contacted riparian landowners in targeted locations we prioritized for additional easement protection. We chose to target streams with high-quality habitat and fish populations, and along those streams we prioritized parcels that were adjacent to existing easements or protected public land, as well as landowners who owned parcels with longer lengths of stream. We also prioritized parcels with important features such as springs that are important to maintaining the cold water required by trout. All easements also needed to be accessible to the angling public, either from a public road, adjacent easement, or access path. Contacts with landowners were very fruitful; we found more potential parcels that we had money available for easements. This allowed us to prioritize the best parcels for easement purchase based on our criteria, but also created a list of potential parcels for acquisition using other funding sources, including OHF rounds from future years. We protected a total of 21.3 miles of trout streams using easements. One lakeshore parcel was also protected via conservation easement using this appropriation. The landowners (a scout camp) wanted the parcel protected, but also wanted to continue their passive use of the parcel. A conservation easement was a better tool than fee title acquisition in this case, which allowed us to protect 200 acres along 1.3 miles of lakeshore. The total amount of lake and stream shore acres protected by easements was just short of our goal (585 vs. 609), but we believe in the case of lake and stream riparian protection the length of shoreline is the more important measure. Fee title acquisition protected a total of 7.4 miles of lakeshore (504 acres) under this appropriation. We selected parcels for acquisition where the ratio of lakeshore to total acres was high in order to maximize riparian area protected, and where we protected critical and sensitive habitat such as emergent vegetation and natural shorelines that are critical for aquatic fish and wildlife. We were able to exceed our goal for acres protected in fee (504 vs. 427), in part due to over $550,000 in landowner donations of value that leveraged OHF money. We completed four stream habitat projects: two were on trout streams (Eagle and Rush Creeks), and two were on a warmwater rivers (Buffalo and Pomme de Terre Rivers). Eagle Creek had been degraded by years of cattle grazing, along with numerous beaver dams that had created a wide, shallow stream uninhabited by trout, unlike downstream reaches with better habitat. Using a combination of coir logs, rootwads and other woody debris, and grading and revegetating of the streambanks, the stream was narrowed to less than half of its former width. This created a much deeper stream channel with better habitat for fish, as well as the ability for the stream to better move the over-abundance of sand that comprised the stream bottom. Trout are now found in the restored half-mile of stream. The local watershed district contributed matching funds that helped to complete the project. Rush Creek habitat work has enhanced 2.5 miles of this trout stream. Steep eroding banks have been graded back, creating a floodplain that reduces the erosive energy of the stream during high water. Habitat structures of wood and rock have been placed in strategic locations on outside bends, providing stability to streambanks as well as cover for fish. All riparian areas have been seeded with a native mix of deep-rooted prairie grasses and forbs, providing enhanced stability for streambanks and habitat for terrestrial wildlife. Restoration of a reach of the Buffalo River was done on property owned by the City of Hawley. A formerly straightened reach of the river, the stream had eroding banks and lacked diverse depths, velocities, and cover required by most fish species. 2,700 feet of new meandering stream channel was constructed to restore the stream to a more natural condition, and outside bends were stabilized with woody material buried into the banks which not only provides stability while planted native vegetation becomes established, but also provides habitat for fish and aquatic insects. Enhancement work on the Pomme de Terre River was done on a relatively small area, but was critical to habitat in that reach. Due to bank erosion, the stream was in the process of cutting around a riffle that controls the grade of the streambed in that reach. That could have eventually lead to a downcutting of the stream channel that would have sent tons of sediment downstream. Instead, the streambank was stabilized using rootwads, and additional gravel and cobbles were added to the riffle to enhance its stability, as well as local habitat.",2011-07-20,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brian,Nerbonne,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5205,brian.nerbonne@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Blue Earth, Cass, Chisago, Clay, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Houston, Hubbard, Itasca, Kandiyohi, Lake, Morrison, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Redwood, Rice, Scott, St. Louis, Swift, Wabasha, Winona","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-aquatic-management-area-habitat-program-phase-3,,,,

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

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

Since the grant allowed me to not be concerned with selling, I had time to do immense research on older and current self-portraits by other artists. This helped my use of new color schemes in my work and generated new ideas. 2) Evaluation comes from my audience viewing my new work and then giving positive remarks about it. Some said they really enjoyed my vibrant colors and were moved by my emotional approach to some of the paintings. Many viewers also stated they enjoyed the realism one of my works, Always Reaching."" This realism is created by my accuracy in observing and painting value (darks and lights). Sally Strand's class made this accuracy possible. 2: 1. By research I learned to write press releases and created a list of calendars, people, newsletters, newspapers, magazines, and television/radio where I could send the press release. 2. Now I have a permanent list of places and people to which I can send a press release. I had part of my press release published in many publications.

My chamber music compositions using the Hardanger fiddle and seljefloyte were performed at the Workshop/Performance in addition to a teaching/educational summary of my activities and what I learned. 2: 1.

Also, as stated later on, composers listening to the concerts became really excited about the sound possibilities of the harpsichord in their own compositions. I measured the success of this outcome by the liveliness of the discussions that I had with the composers, and the eventual resulting compositions. They were all excellent, and completely different from each other. I also measured success by the number of new composers who expressed interest in writing for the harpsichord in the future.

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.

With the funds from this grant, however, I was able to learn and study a form of music called Pagode with a group of about 20 people. I evaluated this experience in two ways. First, I asked all of the participants for feedback at the end of each of our workshops to assess how the learning experience was going for them. The response was overwhelmingly positive and people were appreciative of the opportunity. Second, the clearest evidence of success is the fact that we are now a Pagode ensemble. I have learned the music and the particular band leadership needed for this music. Not to mention, I have a core group of about 12 people who are able to play this music on the traditional Brazilian instruments and provide the required backup vocals (call and response). We continue to play out on an ongoing basis. 2: I learned many skills during this project through having to book a large group (7 - 10 players), record this music with a sound engineer, co-implementing workshops, and working with a web design on my own website.

My agent Sara Crowe (at Harvey Klinger, Inc., New York) has sent SASS out to various editors. While SASS hasn't sold yet, I've received some positive feedback and not enough consistent criticism to edit the draft. Sara Crowe has also sent out an early chapter book and picture book manuscript that I completed this year. Both of these projects have received positive responses from editors--3 of which want to see more of my stories. All 3 stories are currently with editors. 2: 1. I expanded my online presence by creating an author web site, an author page on Facebook, and partaking in a group blog that writes about children's books (Worddisco).

I was a visiting author for twelve elementary schools in Minnesota, which allowed me to improve my presentations. 2. I have 240 fans for my author page on Facebook.

I researched extensively industry standards. Learned new ways to tell a story that unfolds in time. Acquired a stop-motion animation software of professional level - Dragon Frame. At the same time purchased new DSLR camera (Nikon D7000) with live view option to take full advantage of what Dragon Frame has to offer. Final Cut Pro - the editing program I used in the beginning of the film was not compatible with Mac Pro so I had to switch to Adobe Premier and learn that new software in a short time.

In addition, at the start of the project, I invited the filmmaker Chris Sullivan in my studio to ask for professional feedback.

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

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

This helps us fulfill our mission of being the Bach Society of MINNESOTA, not restricting our presence to the Twin Cities. We evaluated our outcome based on our goal of offering professional musicians a chance to tour their work throughout the state in an all or nothing way. Since we were able to offer these musicians a chance to tour, we achieved our goal.

These artists were chosen for their knowledge of and skills in performing baroque music in a historically informed way, making the performance authentic and exciting! The touring concert took place in Olmstead County. This community was selected to help the Bach Society expand its audience, deepen connections for further collaborations, and strengthen Calvary Episcopal Church’s (our touring partner) position in the music community of Rochester.

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

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

We did weekly evaluation with site staff and teaching artists. We used our evaluation tools. At Struthers we used their evaluation tools and met their objectives. At Heartland we met with the director to deal with cultural issues and language. They serve a Russian population so we adapted each program to reflect their cultural heritage. Monthly meetings happened with staff to address themes for the programs and to evaluate how the program was affecting their community. Teaching Artists utilized such measures as individual mastery in the language of dance, engagement with music, participation and initiation. These were all adapted from the evaluation form created with the assistance of Saint Catherine master's program students. 2: We increased the number of dancing heart sites during the grant period by 25%.

Traditional classical music concerts are too long for young children, and the format is not conducive to quality time between parents and children, and 3. Traditional concert format produces anxiety in parents about how their child/ren will behave. We addressed these barriers by making concerts free for children and students, making concerts one hour long and creating an environment that is child-friendly (tables set up with coloring activities, snacks provided, doors left open with easy access to hallway and bathrooms), and by programming movements of classical music rather than complete works. We announced at every concert that it is okay for children to make some noise, dance, move around, exclaim at exciting moments, etc. We evaluated if this worked by speaking and handing out surveys to willing parents and children after concerts while they looked more closely at instruments and met musicians. 2: Because of Lyra's Family Concerts and Lyra Youth baroque orchestra, families were able to attend classical music concerts at a very low price, and participate in a very high quality arts experience. Additionally, 14 young musicians (under 18) participated in a performance with Lyra musicians, received coaching to prepare for these performances, and were able to play with baroque bows and harpsichords.

15494,"Arts Tour Minnesota ",2012,24350,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations have more opportunities to tour their work throughout the state. Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations tour to communities and regions they haven’t previously visited. More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations. Dr. Patricia Shifferd created surveys, for concertgoers and musicians, to measure the impact of the project. Musicians commented positively on the touring experience. Audiences were very appreciative, In New Ulm and Blue Earth, many people invited the Orchestra to come back in the future. The number of people who attended in Morton was low, but attendees were appreciative. One of the individuals who attended in Morton also came to the New Ulm performance to hear the concert again. Ninety-six percent of survey respondents said they were very likely or likely to attend a future Mankato Symphony Orchestra performance in their community if the opportunity arose again.","This is the second time in recent history that our orchestra has travelled to other locations and the first time that we have been the initiators. The Mankato Symphony Orchestra presented three orchestra concerts in Morton, New Ulm, and Blue Earth, all rural communities that do not have many opportunities to hear live classical music. The concerts were approximately ninety minutes long and included a post-concert question and answer/discussion session. This provided new opportunities to our musicians, who ordinarily perform only in Mankato. One musician response to the value of touring was, “Our performances improved greatly over the couple weeks [that the tour lasted]. It also helped the orchestra become more malleable as an ensemble. We had the opportunity to try things and do things differently for different performances. The repertoire choices were great to play and fit the performance opportunities well.” People who attended the performances were further engaged in a post-concert session where they could ask questions of our music director, flute soloist, and a retired music professor who is a violinist in the orchestra and the author of our program notes. The notes provided basic information about each piece, so the post-concert sessions allowed people to ask all kinds of questions and gain additional information. Orchestral performances are often one-way presentations; the discussion allowed audience members to get to know some of the performers and learn more about the pieces, instruments, and roles. 2: Executive Director Sara Buechmann chose the locations based on feasibility, receptivity, and perceived need. Time and budget constraints prevented us from travelling farther or offering more than three tour performances. Morton offered to host a concert when we were seeking venues for the Dakota Music Tour in 2010. Because it was in the same vicinity as the Upper and Lower Sioux Reservations we visited previously, and because of the Native American music programmed as part of the tour, we hoped to attract some of the same audience. New Ulm was chosen because it is a community that is near Mankato, yet seems disproportionately underserved by the Orchestra. Although several of our musicians come from New Ulm, we do not see a corresponding portion of our audience come from that region. The New Ulm performance was an attempt to reach out to that community. Blue Earth, a rural community with a thriving concert series, had approached us in the past. But without grant assistance, we had been unable to hire an orchestra to perform there.",,9532,"Other, local or private",33882,2000,"Jack Alexander, Fritz Anderson, Missy Blue, Sandy Giles, Curt, Gruhl, Peg Hanson, Art Kenyon, Jim Magnusson, Joan Norgaard, Jude Rooney, Michael Rudquist, Michael Way",,"Mankato Symphony Orchestra Association AKA Mankato Symphony Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Tour Minnesota ",,"This tour will feature select pieces from the Music from the Heart 2011-2012 concert season and will be presented in communities with limited access to live orchestral performances.",2012-04-01,2012-11-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Sara,Buechmann,"Mankato Symphony Orchestra Association AKA Mankato Symphony Orchestra","523 S 2nd St PO Box 645",Mankato,MN,56001,"(507) 625-8880 ",mso@hickorytech.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Goodhue, Wabasha, Dakota",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-tour-minnesota-121,"Daniel Adolphson: Director of Program Engagement, COMPAS.; Timothy Cassidy: Metal sculptor.; Larry Fredlund: Board member, Isanti County Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment.; Lawrence Gorrell: Program director, Master of Arts in Human Development and Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management, St Mary's University.; Jeanne Kosfeld: Creative director, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

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

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

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.

Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations tour to communities and regions they haven’t previously visited. More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations. We tallied tickets and attendance. In addition, we created a questionnaire about the experience that local performers, venue operators, and audience members completed.","A total of six performers and one production manager toured a site-specific production of The Cherry Orchard to five rural communities in the state of Minnesota. Our goal was to perform six shows in each of the five communities (for a total of thirty shows) with an 80% attendance rate. Due to the popularity of the production, we ended up performing thirty-five shows and surpassed our ticket sale goals by 116 tickets. Many shows were performed for standing room audiences. In addition, we surpassed our workshop participant numbers by twenty-three. Finally, because of the strong caliber of performers that attended the auditions, we increased the number of local performers used in the production from twenty to thirty-one. The five communities chosen were Blue Earth, Worthington, Taylors Falls, Little Falls and Kenyon. These communities were chosen because each contained a publically owned historical home that was built around the time The Cherry Orchard was written and performed. These communities were also chosen because of their high rate of house and farm foreclosures in recent years, a central theme of the play. 2: Our goal was to introduce site-specific work to areas of the state that lack access to unique programming and tend to offer traditional theater productions such as musicals and popular comedies. Our greatest challenge was to fill the venues with audiences, who might be intimidated by productions they were unfamiliar with. By reaching out to community members through newspapers, radio advertisements and interviews, and simply conversing with locals while dining at area restaurants and shopping at stores, we were able to perform our shows and exceed the target audience numbers that we estimated, often times performing to standing-room-only houses. We performed for people who attended from seventy-nine different cities; many drove a long distance to see the show. The community leaders were instrumental to the success of this project. Members in the cast were great resources for providing access to materials to make the production happen. If we were in need of a truck, a prop, publicity assistance, ticket promoters, or costume assistance, the community performers were extremely generous in helping us.

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.

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

We 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.

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.

Through State Library Services, a division of the Minnesota Department of Education, each regional public library system receives a formula-driven allocation from the annual $3 million Minnesota Regional Library Legacy Grant.East Central Regional Library (ECRL) is a consolidated regional public library system in east central Minnesota. ECRL has fourteen branch libraries located in six counties: Aitkin, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, and Pine. With Arts and Cultural Heritage funds, ECRL and its member libraries present an array of arts, cultural, literary, and Minnesota history programs in collaboration with arts and cultural organizations, independent artists, historical societies, and community organizations.  Programs contribute to the cultural vitality of the region and build a lasting legacy.  ",,"Nelly Gustafson Bronze Sculpture The Chisago Lakes area (consisting of the cities of Center City, Chisago City and Lindstrom) has a rich Swedish heritage. 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).

Through State Library Services, a division of the Minnesota Department of Education, each regional public library system receives a formula-driven allocation from the annual $3 million Minnesota Regional Library Legacy Grant.East Central Regional Library (ECRL) is a consolidated regional public library system in east central Minnesota. ECRL has fourteen branch libraries located in six counties: Aitkin, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, and Pine. With Arts and Cultural Heritage funds, ECRL and its member libraries present an array of arts, cultural, literary, and Minnesota history programs in collaboration with arts and cultural organizations, independent artists, historical societies, and community organizations.  Programs contribute to the cultural vitality of the region and build a lasting legacy.  ",,"Nelly Gustafson Bronze Sculpture The Chisago Lakes area (consisting of the cities of Center City, Chisago City and Lindstrom) has a rich Swedish heritage. 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.""

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.

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

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

There are not many traditional art activities within the community, and in being able to showcase this in this project, we as an organization were given the opportunity to allow community members to get involved and learn more about folk and traditional art forms as they relate to Somali culture. The project outcomes were as follows: the variety and number of folk and traditional art activities in which Minnesotans can participate increases, the number of Minnesotans who participated in folk and traditional art activities increases, and the number of Minnesotans who teach and lean traditional art forms increases. The outcomes were achieved by getting feedbacks and high participations. 2: The number of Minnesotans who participated in folk and traditional art activities increased by more than 20% of our target.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2014, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,30000,,,0.67,"National Eagle Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","PROJECT OVERVIEW Not previously thought to be regular inhabitants of Minnesota, in recent years there have been reports of golden eagle sightings in most counties of the state, while recent surveys suggest there is now a regular wintering population in the blufflands of southeast Minnesota. This appropriation is being used to better understand the numbers, distribution, migration routes, and habitat needs of golden eagles in Minnesota. This information will inform natural resource management decisions and be used to educate landowners and the general public about golden eagles in the state. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The Golden Eagle Survey Project represents groundbreaking research on a bird that was previously not thought to be a regular inhabitant of Minnesota. Through field observations and telemetry, the Golden Eagle Survey Project is expanding the understanding of population, distribution, habitats, habitat use, migration routes, breeding areas, and management needs of the population of golden eagles that winter in Minnesota. Annual surveys coordinated by the Golden Eagle Survey Project have documented a regular migratory population using the bluffland subsection of the Paleozoic Plateau in southeast Minnesota in winter. During annual winter surveys in 2012-2014, an average of 36 golden eagles have been observed in Minnesota's blufflands. Using satellite telemetry to track golden eagles, the Project is expanding the world's knowledge of the range, location of breeding territories, and migration routes of this previously unstudied population. One golden eagle, #46, was released in January 2011 with a GPS satellite-linked transmitter. The Project tracked #46 for more than 950 days, from his release in Wabasha County and his migrations to Nunavut, Canada and back to wintering range in southeast Minnesota. Data collected on golden eagle habitat use, preferred prey, and range will be used to ensure appropriate management and conservation action to protect critical wintering habitat for golden eagles in Minnesota. Thousands of people have learned about the presence of golden eagles in Minnesota through the Golden Eagle Survey Project's outreach to landowners, wildlife managers and the general public. In programs at the National Eagle Center and throughout the state, the Golden Eagle Project increased awareness and understanding of golden eagles as regular winter inhabitants of the blufflands region. The Project's outreach to conservation professionals and the general public continues to broaden awareness of this unique species in Minnesota. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< Golden Eagle Survey Project data are publicly available on the National Eagle Center's website. Since January, 2012, the National Eagle Center's website has seen nearly 30,000 unique visits to the Golden Eagle Survey Project information pages. Here visitors learn about the presence of golden eagles in Minnesota, view data and project maps, and learn how they can get involved in efforts to understand and conserve golden eagles in Minnesota. In addition, updates on golden eagle tracking are posted on social media outlets, reaching an audience of more than 10,000 followers. Detailed data from field observations, Annual Wintering Golden Eagle Surveys, and telemetry are made available to researchers and others upon request. Thus far, we have shared this data with at least one utility seeking information on golden eagle migration and habitat use in siting transmission lines. The Golden Eagle Survey Project has been regularly featured in regional news media throughout the Project's duration. An attached list highlights some of the regional news stories about the Golden Eagle Survey Project. Links to the story are provided where available. In 2013, the Golden Eagle Project shared in the US Forest Service's Wings Across America award for work as part of the Eastern Golden Eagle Working Group.

Lands being considered for permanent protection in this round of funding are located in Becker, Beltrami, Blue Earth, Itasca, Kandiyohi, Lac Qui Parle, Le Sueur, Otter Tail, Pope, and Wabasha counties.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSIn the seventh phase of our Shorelands Protection project, the Minnesota Land Trust continued to work with landowners to secure permanent conservation easements on quality habitat along or containing critical riparian lands. We initiated or continued contact with more than 30 landowners and completed eight conservation easements. Collectively, these easements preserve approximately 700 acres of land - exceeding our original goal of 400 to 600 acres - and protect nearly 34,172 linear feet of fragile shoreline. Highlights from the eight completed projects include:One donated easement over 30 acres in Kandiyohi County that protected over 2,600 feet of natural shoreline along the Middle Fork of the Crow River.A complex of five easements surrounding five lakes in Becker County that protected approximately 474 acres and over 3 miles of undeveloped shoreline. Four of the five easements were donated to the Land Trust.One donated easement in Otter Tail County that protected 48 acres and over 2,900 feet of shoreline along Blanche Lake, immediately adjacent to Glendalough State Park.Another donated easement that protected 145 acres of forest and wetlands in Beltrami County and preserved almost two miles of shoreline along Black Lake and Three Island Lake.Overall, this phase of the grant program protected 269 acres of forest, 183 acres of wetlands, and over 6 miles of undeveloped shoreline.All eight projects met the following selection criteria:Habitat: quality and quantity of existing habitat on site; protects riparian areas and buffers water resourcesContext: proximity and relationship to other protected landsOpportunity: cost-benefit ratio: landowners willingness and readiness to participate nowOther Benefits: meeting multiple objectives, including visual and physical access, forestry goals, water quality, etc.Additionally, the Land Trust prepared baseline property reports for each easement, detailing the condition of the property for future monitoring and enforcement. To fund this required perpetual obligation, the Land Trust dedicated funds to its segregated Stewardship and Enforcement Fund for several completed projects. For these projects, we estimated the anticipated annual expenses of each project and the investment needed to generate annual income sufficient to cover these expenses in perpetuity - all in accordance with our internal policies and procedures as approved by LCCMR. We will report to LCCMR annually on the status of the Stewardship and Enforcement Fund and the easements acquired with funds from this grant. All but one of the eight easements completed under this grant were entirely donated. The value is known for only two of the donated easements, which together total $204,000 in appraised donated value under this grant. The Land Trust purchased one of the Fischer Lakes easements for the appraised value of $170,000. The cost to the State of Minnesota to complete the eight projects completed under this phase of the grant was just under $600 per acre. Cumulatively, across all phases of the HCP program, the Land Trust has completed 89 conservation easements, protecting 8,245 acres of critical habitat and more than 258,000 feet of shoreline, at a cost to the State of approximately $320 per acre. The Land Trust's work on this project continues to demonstrate the cost effectiveness of working with conservation easements to protect natural and scenic resources along Minnesota's lakes, rivers, and streams, as the cost to the State was well below the cost to purchase land along our increasingly threatened shorelines. This grant continued to generate interest among landowners, and therefore, ongoing funding will be important to sustained success. Additionally, our experiences during this phase of the grant indicate that funds to purchase easements will be necessary in the future as work becomes more targeted, selective, and focused on building complexes of protected land. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The Land Trust disseminated information about the specific land protection projects completed under this grant though our newsletter, email updates, web site, and press releases.

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

Two of the three parcels acquired are now being managed as State Forests (SFT), while the third parcel is being managed as a Wildlife Management Area (WMA). These parcels are protecting forests and habitat while providing public hunting, trapping and compatible outdoor uses. The Lower Mississippi River Habitat Restoration Partnership is a long-term effort to restore habitat connectivity and improve water quality in critical areas along the Mississippi River corridor from the Twin Cities to the Iowa border by reconnecting tributaries to their floodplains, revitalizing backwaters and channels, and protecting and restoring floodplain forests, wetlands, and prairies that are essential to sustaining the incredible diversity of plants, animals, and human uses provided by this great river. Critical areas include the lower reaches of the Root, Zumbro, Cannon, and Vermillion Rivers, and the backwaters and channels of Mississippi River Pools 2 and 3 (St. Paul to Red Wing). FY2011 funding from the LSOHC focused on acquisition and restoration of key parcels in the Lower Root River floodplain. ",,"Parcels were selected are those of highest priority, previously identified in land asset management plans. The pool of parcels was selected using key classifications including; those providing protection of critical habitat, those providing access to state land, and those consolidating fragmented state land parcels.

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

Priority will be given to lands that have a high risk of development, provide protection to shoreline and riparian zones, and allow access for anglers and habitat improvement projects.Project Outcome and Results This appropriation provided funding to acquire land in fee title within the Metro Conservation Corridors Partnership (MeCC) areas. It focused on habitat linkage projects along the Vermillion River in southern Dakota County that have the following characteristics: high risk of development, angler access, environmental protection of the shoreline and riparian zone, and access for DNR personnel and constituent cooperators to do habitat improvement projects. Parcels acquired will be managed as Aquatic Management Areas (AMA). This funding also supported the finalization of three parcels acquired with a previous MeCC appropriation, but for which professional services bills were still needed. A total of $8,080 was spent on completion of the three previously acquired parcels. The remaining $292,000 was spent on acquisition of two additional parcels for the Vermillion River AMA. These two parcels closed in late 2013 and added 114 acres of land which provide permanent protection and public hunting, fishing, and trapping along almost 11,000 feet of stream. The AMA now consists of 450 acres and 27,650 feet (over 5 miles) of stream. The Vermillion River is known for production of large brown trout and is a popular anger destination. The acquisition of these two parcels relied on other public funding in addition to this appropriation. Dakota County contributed $40,000 and another $108,600 came largely from a 2011 Outdoor Heritage Fund appropriation to DNR. Both of the new sites have been surveyed and the boundaries posted in time for the 2014 trout opener. Costs for boundary posting and other initial development were paid from other DNR budgets.

The Metro Conservation Corridors partnership is working to establish a system of habitat corridors that also provide open space and water quality benefits for the residents of the area. One goal of this project was to increase the amount of high quality habitat within designated conservation corridors. During this project, FMR installed 86 acres of prairie, besting the projected amount by 31 acres. This prairie restoration took place at the Emrick property, Gores Pool WMA, Heritage Village Park, Pine Bend Bluffs SNA, and Mississippi River Gorge sites. FMR conducted woodland restoration activities on 2 acres at Mounds Park and Heritage Village Park, falling short by 3 acres of the proposed goal. Uncommon flooding at Gores Pool WMA prevented woodland restoration at the site. Activities associated with this restoration included updating management plans, soil preparation, seed/plant installation, mowing, and weed control. These additional acres of natural communities will provide critical habitat for many species that rely on prairie and woodland, some of which are rare or in decline. A second goal was to enhance the quality of existing habitat areas. We conducted enhancement activities, mostly exotic invasive plant control and burning, on 275.8 acres, exceeding the number of acres committed to in the work program by 172.8. The third goal achieved was to develop a list of potential future restoration and acquisition projects within the corridors by reaching out to 27 landowners.

They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs.

The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county.

This time it was Alice Ozma, author of March 2012 One County One Book selection, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared. When Alice reached out to us saying she would be in the area and would love to come back and do another program with us we jumped at the chance!

The author, an engaging speaker, visited and led discussions related to her book. The library was also able to partner with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation in conjunction with the series. Lady Gaga was in town with her Born Brave Bus, and teen participants in our series got the opportunity to visit her bus and enjoy a pre-show party hosted by Gaga. IART Families celebrated diversity in families. The series featured three events where kids and their families had the chance to make art and hear stories celebrating different families. Each event included a collaborative art project. The series culminated at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, where the collaborative art projects were on display. Gypsy Festival: Three live music performances and an exhibit drew over 700 people. The performances consisted of Gypsy Jazz, Spanish Flamenco, and the music of Django Reinhardt. Narration was provided by local artist Michael Dregni for two concerts and audiences reported on their appreciation of the excellent musicians and the melding of artistry and learning. Michael Dregni coordinated a display of Gypsy Jazz/Django Reinhardt memorabilia for the display cases at Central Library to accompany the performances. Dakota War Sesquicentennial: Over 150 people came to three different lectures/programs that presented stories, images, and sites from both sides of the conflict and showed how ripple effects continue to this day. Events were held with local authors John Koblas and Curt Dahlin and a bus tour with local historian Dave Riehle visited sites with significance to the Dakota. Audiences reported great interest in local history and appreciated the multiple perspectives presented in the series. Scott County Library: Off-Site Summer Reading Program provided reading records, prizes, and sets of books to childcare, summer school, and free lunch programs in each branch library's community. With hiring a contractor to manage the program, we were able to expand to 1,690 participants at 15 sites; hosted 12 events with performers for participants and their families. First Thursdays Danceteria continues to be very popular and draws large crowds and rave reviews. The sense of community built in a social dance is like no other and many participants comment on the quality of the music and venue and on the opportunity to sample different musical traditions. lnkSlingers: Writers in the Libraries hosted 11 writing workshops. Belle Plaine and Prior Lake also each hosted youth writing workshops as part of this series. Comments from participants mentioned often that the information in the classes was very inspiring, and useful to them. They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs. The Savage Library commissioned mural artist Greg Preslicka to do a mural called ""Taking Flight"" on two walls of the children's area. The artist spent a week in January working on the project and gave three presentations on the mural process, and many more watched and interacted with the artist as he worked on the mural. The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county. The library hired a professional reader to present a 6-week series of hour-long programs at five senior resident facilities. He read selections of short stories by popular Minnesota authors. After the readings, audience members shared their reactions and memories of similar situations in their own lives. The library invited local independent authors and publishers to offer their e-books to the readers of Washington County. Library Local Content was a partnership with the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Authors submitted their works online. The library uploaded the works into its OverDrive e-book lending platform. Readers were encouraged to read and rate the books. With the success of our other writing programs we decided to offer another writer's workshop featuring a young and talented author. This time it was Alice Ozma, author of March 2012 One County One Book selection, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared. When Alice reached out to us saying she would be in the area and would love to come back and do another program with us we jumped at the chance! We decided to host an informal writer's workshop and open it up to both teens and adults. Other memorable youth programs included our dramatic storytelling programs by SteppingStone Theatre where the artists had young toddlers crawling around on the floor acting out The Very Hungry Caterpillar!",2011-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Chirs,Olson,"Metropolitan Library Service Agency","1619 Dayton Ave., Suite 314","St. Paul",MN,55104,"(651) 649-3169",chris@melsa.org,"Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Fund Administration, Grants/Contracts, Preservation, Research","Minnesota Department of Education",,"Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/metropolitan-library-service-agency-legacy-grant-sfy-2012-sfy-2013,,,,

The number of Minnesotans who experience the arts through festivals increases. Head counts and estimates, along with the number of festival guides distributed, will be used to approximate attendance. A formal evaluation survey will give us information about what advertising methods were effective and what elements of the festival were most enjoyable.","We expected twenty-five artists, 300 youth, and 1,000 adults. We had fifty-eight artists, 150 youth and 380 adults. We had a great response to our call for artists, and the funding helped us hire a variety of talented local visual artist-presenters and musicians. We had volunteers helping with children’s activities who gave numbers of participating youth. We, as a group, estimated attendance based on the number of people on the bus tours, periodic head counts at the festival music area, and the number of festival guides distributed. The borders of the festival are permeable, making exact counts impossible. The grant enabled us to increase and expand our advertising and invest in durable goods for future festivals. The ability to have a formal evaluation yielded information about what methods of advertising are most effective and which aspects of the festival were most enjoyed by attendees. These measures will save thousands of dollars for future festivals and will help us shape future festival events. We were able to increase and diversify our advertising to reach a greater audience. Posters and bookmarks were distributed statewide. The reusable billboard increased local awareness. We targeted art, nature, and music lovers as last year, but with a wider distribution of publicity.

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.

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.

However, these plant communities have been declining in Minnesota for decades mostly as a result of development impacts. The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources is using this appropriation to try to improve the quantity and quality of white cedar wetland plant communities in Minnesota.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. We achieved our goal in serving thirty-six new youth, and we had seventy-four total participants, including all youth, mentors and parents. We used two methods to eliminate barriers. First, we made the workshops open to all youths and their mentors and/or parents, which, by including adults in the activities, eliminated the barrier to transportation. Secondly, in support of that effort, we promoted the workshops to parents and mentors rather than to youths.","The primary outcome of this project was the provision of three workshops for at-risk youth, culminating in live performances that addressed and eliminated multiple barriers to participation in arts for youth in Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities’ programs. Our organization has served youth for over eighty years. From experience, we know that lack of transportation, lack of resources and lack of a responsible adult to “drive” the event provide the main barriers to arts participation. Youth are usually open to new experiences, but, without an adult to provide encouragement and transportation, they simply cannot manage to participate in those experiences. By inviting parents and mentors to participate, we addressed the transportation barrier, and, by making the event free, we addressed the issue of lack of resources. Due to the structure of our program, we can usually count on an adult mentor to provide transportation to as well as support, encouragement, and organization necessary for participation in arts events. Unfortunately, however, such measures only temporarily eliminate barriers to youth participation, as they cease to be relevant when youth leave our program. 2: We increased the probability that workshop participants will involve themselves in future theater productions. We enjoyed collaborating with the staff at Harmony Theater, as they worked very well with both youth and Big Brothers Big Sisters staff. Harmony reported that our partnership offered them an opportunity to serve a population outside of their traditional white, middle-class demographic, which felt meaningful to them. Recently, Harmony proposed a new joint project between our organizations. We had thirty-six youth and seventy-four total participants in our workshops, which met our participation goal. We leveraged the trust in our relationships with parents and mentors of youth in our programs to promote and encourage participation. We also made participation in the workshops available to parents in addition to youth and their mentors. While not characteristic of Big Brothers Big Sisters activities in general, this modification generated impressive results, as we found parents to be some of the most involved and consistent participants.",,,,12800,4700,"Mike Felmless, Gina Cesaretti, Beth LaBreche, Holly Morehead, Bob Oliker, Gloria C.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. Social or human service organizations use arts to help achieve their service goals. Perceived or real barriers to participation are addressed. Our process of evaluation includes quotes, photos, and surveys.","Senior participation included residents who used walkers and wheelchairs; some with hearing aids; most with glasses; and some with memory impairments. Despite the physical or cognitive ""limitations"" the Kairos teaching artists and Ebenezer staff were educated and experienced on how to address these factors in order to provide quality experiences for the participants. The staff and Kairos team discussed these barriers prior to the partnership, and planned sessions prior to each month. Our observations and surveys found that the participants were actively engaged, socially involved with their peers, recalled past memories and songs, and learned something new. One person even stated ""Who knew we could all do this? The time just goes by so fast in here. I'm just so happy to be here"". (Lillian A.) Barriers in our senior living community for this large group program included: 1) Visual impairments and Hearing Impairments - many seniors’ care plans indicate need of glasses or hearing aids, and/or having moderate to severe visual and/or hearing impairment. Staff and volunteers assisted in helping a smaller group within the large group setting - the close proximity of one staff person to approximately 5-8 older adults allowed them to actively follow and experience the teaching artists’ techniques. 2) Physical Impairments - Whether using a wheelchair, walker, or cane - all participants’ physical abilities were understood via their care plans, and asked to use movement styles best for their individual needs and ability levels. Movement was focused on body brain exercises, warm ups, breathing exercises, dance choreography, and full body approach to creative expression - meaning any body part can become expressive. 3) Memory Impairments - Participants recalled personal history and songs. 2: The partnership provided us with a multi-dimensional framework for focusing on wellness through the arts with seniors at our site. Through dance, movement, breathing exercises, guided imagery, storytelling, poetry, and music - we were able to creatively engage seniors as active participants in their senior living community. Ebenezer will continue its focus on Life-Long Learning and creative arts programming for seniors. Ebenezer continues to employee the Life-Long Learning and Intergenerational Program Coordinator at Ridges to focus on sustaining and improving quality creative arts and wellness programs to create a culture of ""living life to the fullest"" and ""process not product"" approach.

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

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.

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. The posters, conductor chat, radio talk, concert comments, and post-concert reception will all highlight music as a way to 'travel' to the picturesque Danube region and the variety of countries and cultures connected by the river itself. 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. These comments will be discussed at the post-concert Buffalo Community Orchestra board meeting.","Regarding audience access we had set the numeric goal of 350 attendees and ticket sales of $1937.

Fine Arts Program staff members expect to these activities will also strengthen relationships with our residency partners, which in turn will facilitate future partnerships. We anticipate that residency participants will have a greater sense of musical history through the elementary education components of the Project TrioÆs outreach. The Fine Arts Program anticipates that area youth who participate in residencies will have a better appreciation for music through hands-on interactions with the ensemble and instruments. Project Trio will provide college students with improvisation training and instrument master classes.The Fine Arts Program will gather feedback responses from workshop facilitators to find out if the residency activities met the intended goals and/or expectations for each different demographic. These will not be surveys so much as narrative responses, giving partners a chance to provide more meaningful feedback. When we have partnered in the past, the Prairie Lakes Youth Detention facility has asked their participants to journal about their experiences; these reflections have provided a wealth of information on the impact of arts activities. The Fine Arts Program will ask Prairie Lakes Youth Detention to do the same for this residency. We will ask for this kind of feedback from College of St Benedicts/St John's University faculty whose classes take part in workshops with Project Trio, Oak Ridge Elementary teachers, Prairie Lakes Youth Detention facility, and the Saint RaphaelÆs administrative staff The easiest and most often used measure of success will, of course, be attendance numbers at residency activities and at the public performance. The Fine Arts Program 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 a chamber music as anticipated and if this style of chamber music was successful at changing attitudes and/or perceptions of what defines classical music.","This project provided nine free residency activities across a diverse range of the central Minnesota community.

Determined that a DEM conditioned with HMS-based products (i.e. culvert locations) could be used to derive data products to achieve project goals. Developed a set of 42 project watershed boundaries consistent with the LiDAR-derived watershed boundaries from the HMS modeling and the current USGS HBD dataset. Developed and refined a hydro conditioning toolbox for use in ArcGIS based on meetings and technical workshops with NRCS and HEi personnel responsible for the quality control in HMS-models model. Created a hydrologically-conditioned 3m DEM, flow direction grid, flow accumulation grid, and fill grid for 19 of the 42 project watersheds. Developed a catchment processing toolset that will enable creation of catchment based data consistent with the data already complete or under development for Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAP) studies in the basin.

Standardized watershed-based data products will be integrated into a web-based planning tool which will be added to the Red River Basin Decision Information Network (RRBDIN) being developed as part of the Red River Watershed Feasibility Study. The WQDSA project will develop and refine high resolution remote sensing data to effectively target locations that reduce field erosion, map areas of gully erosion and areas of concentrated flow based on subtle landscape changes. Using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology allows large scale data analysis that would be impossible to obtain using traditional land survey techniques. The WQDSA will provide public access to new geospatial data layers in an online application to effectively plan and implement activities to reduce flow and sediment loading. The WQDSA will allow users to identify the water quality problems; establish goals and objectives; reference planning documents; interactively create maps of projects for demonstration and marketing; save projects in a database for future refinement; and potentially export relevant information in a format suited to existing planning and reporting tools.

This project includes the initial land development of each parcel acquired including boundary surveys and signage, well and septic closure, building and dump disposal, and restoration of bare ground with native vegetation. This program is supported by all traditional outdoor stakeholders. Forests This proposal will protect 415 acres of critical forestland habitat and provide access to over 1,000 acres of State Forest (SF) through fee acquisition. The Richard J. Dorer Memorial Hardwoods State Forest (RJ Dorer) in southeast Minnesota is a unique forest biome of rolling hills, goat prairie, and river bottom forest and is marking its anniversary this year. This forest provides habitat to deer, turkey, rattlesnakes, trout, many migratory birds and flora and fauna of special concern. The state land within the RJ Dorer provides significant outdoor recreational opportunities. To provide public access to all of this forest, 170 private land parcels or easements are needed. To consolidate fragmented state forest, 120 additional private land parcels containing 4700 acres would need to be acquired. This proposal continues the work of acquiring key land parcels from willing sellers. The parcels to be acquired either provide access to large areas of currently inaccessible state land or consolidate fragmented forestland, mostly in connection with streams and rivers. These acquisitions will protect the declining forest base from fragmentation due to development and provide opportunities to further enhance habitat for fish, game and other wildlife. Parcels were selected from a pool of desirable parcels identified in area land asset management plans. These pool parcels were selected from three classifications; those providing access to state land, those consolidating fragmented state land parcels, and those providing protection of a critical forest habitat. Parcels were further prioritized by the acres accessed, completion of consolidation and values protected. All known stakeholders are supportive of these acquisitions including county boards and forest user groups such as the Minnesota Deer Hunter’s Association which has contributed funding for previous acquisitions. Strategic habitat conservation is defined as an iterative process of developing and refining a conservation strategy, making efficient management decisions, and using research and monitoring to assess accomplishments and inform future iterations of the conservation strategy. The priority setting process for acquiring and protecting state lands described above meets this definition.",2011-07-20,2014-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Dave,Schuller,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5255,dave.schuller@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Fillmore, Wabasha, Winona",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/state-forest-acquisition,,,,

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.

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.

DNR prioritized acquisitions at sites where there is an existing habitat base to address fragmentation and to maximize habitat benefits. Potential acquisitions are scored and ranked on numerous ecological and management criteria. DNR seeks out willing landowners and conducts all transactions in accordance with state law and departmental policy. Nine properties totaling over 1,100 acres are now permanently protected as a result of acquisitions funded by this program. We were able to meet our original goal for forest acre protection, but failed to meet our prairie protection goal for reasons described below. Two acquisitions that failed to close by 6/30/14, did eventually close, but not in time to be funded from this appropriation and be counted as acres protected in this summary. The funding that would have been used from this appropriation was returned to the Outdoor Heritage Fund.

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