Reg io ns in which wo rk will take p lace: Northern Forest Prairie Activity typ es: Protect in Fee P rio rity reso urces ad d ressed b y activity: Forest Prairie Abstract: Acquire 470 acres of high priority habitat for designation as Wildlife Management Area (Prairie Planning Section) or Scientific and Natural Area (Prairie, and Northern Forest Planning Sections) emphasizing Prairie Conservation Plan implementation and coordination with partners. All lands will be open for public hunting and fishing (a limited number of SNA s are proposed for limited hunting for instance archery only or hunting but no trapping). Accomplishments are based on $5,000 per acre average and should be considered a minimum estimate. Design and scope of work: Approximately 470 acres of wildlife habitat will be protected through fee title acquisition and development as Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs, 350 acres) and Scientific & Natural Areas (SNAs, 120 acres). While no match is indicated in this proposal, Outdoor Heritage appropriations to DNR for WMA and SNA acquisitions have been matched by donations, Reinvest in Minnesota Critical Habitat Match, and Surcharge (a $6.50 surcharge on small game license sales to be used in part for land acquisition) at approximately 25% (1 dollar of match to 4 dollars of OHF). Wildlife Management Areas. WMAs protect lands and waters which have a high potential for wildlife production and develop and manage these lands and waters for public hunting, fishing and trapping, and for other compatible outdoor recreational uses such as wildlife watching and hiking. While highly successful, the current WMA system does not meet all present and future needs for wildlife habitat, wildlife population management, hunter access, and wildlife related recreation. This is notably true in the Prairie Ecological Page 1 of 12

planning section where public ownership in many counties is 2 percent or less. DNR Section of Wildlife uses a G IS-based tool to identify the highest priority tracts for potential WMA acquisitions. This quantitative approach scores and ranks acquisition proposals based on a set of weighted criteria and creates a standardized method for evaluating proposed acquisitions on a statewide level. Criteria and weights are periodically reviewed and adapted to changing conditions and priorities. This ensures that funds are used to acquire available lands consistent with the statutory purpose of WMAs. The WMA acquisition program is guided by the 2002 Citizens' Committee report developed with a diverse group of eleven major stakeholder groups. Potential acquisition opportunities from willing sellers are coordinated with stakeholders and partners to eliminate duplication and identify concerns and support. Coordinating with partners has been successful to ensure we are working cooperatively and on priority parcels. Scientific & Natural Areas. The SNA Program will increase public hunting and fishing opportunities while protecting sites with outstanding natural values. Protection is targeted at high priority areas identified in the SNA Strategic Land Protection Plan with emphasis on prairie core areas identified in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. A quantitative system scores and ranks acquisition proposals based on a weighted set of six criteria. Priority is given to sites of high and outstanding biodiversity significance by the Minnesota Biological Survey, high quality native plant communities and habitat for endangered and threatened species. Larger parcels which adjoin other conservation lands, improve habitat management, are under imminent threat and are partially donated are also rated highly. Properties acquired through this appropriation require County Board of Commissioners written approval in the county of acquisition, will be designated as WMA or SNA through a Commissioner's Designation Order, brought up to minimum DNR standards, and listed on the DNR website. Basic site improvements will include boundary and LSOHC acknowledgement signs and may include any necessary site cleanup and restoration of agricultural fields and minimal parking area development. How does the request address MN habitats that have: historical value to f ish and wildlif e, wildlif e species of greatest conservation need, MN County Biological Survey data, and/or rare, threatened and endangered species inventories: Potential acquisitions for WMAs and SNAs are objectively scored for their wildlife habitat value. The DNR uses weighted criteria and prioritizes high scoring parcels for acquisition. For example, candidates for WMAs score higher with a prairie grouse lek, in a pheasant habitat complex, presence of shallow lakes, and occurrence of deer wintering areas; candidates for WMAs and SNAs score higher which contain threatened, endangered, and other rare species and species in greatest conservation need and which are high quality native plant communities which support wildlife. As a focus on native prairie protection, parcels with native prairie are prioritized. Native plant communities with exceptional value as wildlife habitat to be protected through this proposal include mesic prairie, dry hill prairie, northern wet prairie, rock outcrop (prairie), oak woodland/savanna, mesic hardwood forest, wet forest, forest and open rich peatlands, and northern jack pine/black spruce woodland. Species in greatest conservation need and rare (endangered, threatened, and special concern) species that have documented occurrences on or near parcels targeted in WMA and SNA acquisition through this appropriation include (but are not limited to): mammals moose, white-tailed jack-rabbit, and Canada lynx; birds greater prairie chicken, sharp-tailed grouse, bobolink, grasshopper sparrow, ovenbird, upland sandpiper, trumpeter swan, osprey, veery, and bay-breasted warbler. Describe the science based planning and evaluation model used: The DNR uses G IS-based scoring systems to objectively rank potential acquisitions and develop statewide priority lists. These systems incorporate scientific data giving priority to locations within: 1) an important habitat corridor or complex (such as identified by the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan, Pheasant Action Plan, SNA Strategic Land Protection Plan, and the new Minnesota Wildlife Action Plan), 2) native plant communities and sites of outstanding and high biodiversity significance mapped by Minnesota Biological Survey (MBS), and 3) parcels that adjoin existing units or other conservation lands. In addition, scoring takes into account habitat containing endangered, threatened, and other rare species, watershed/wetland qualities as well as habitat management considerations and suitability for public access, hunting and fishing.

Minnesota DNR Scientific and Natural Area's Long Range Plan Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan Which LSOHC section priorities are addressed in this program: No rthern Fo rest: P rairie: Provide access to manage habitat on landlocked public properties or protect forest land from parcelization and fragmentation through fee acquisition, conservation or access easement Protect, enhance, and restore remnant native prairie, Big Woods forests, and oak savanna Relationship to other f unds: Environmental and Natural Resource Trust Fund D escrib e the relatio nship o f the fund s: During some years, the DNR also receives Environment and Natural Resource Trust Fund (ENRTF) appropriations for SNA acquisition. Usually, different projects are funded with each type of fund with priority given to expending the oldest appropriations first on eligible parcels. However, acquisition of some large parcels are made possible by using a combination of funds (such as OHF and ENRTF). How does this program include leverage in f unds or other ef f ort to supplement any OHF appropriation: Historically, Outdoor Heritage Fund appropriations to DNR for WMA and SNA acquisitions have been matched by donations, Reinvest in Minnesota Critical Habitat Match, and Surcharge (a $6.50 surcharge on small game license sales to be used in part for land acquisition) at approximately 25% (1 dollar of match to 4 dollars of OHF). While not being listed in this proposal, we anticipate this trend will continue and OHF dollars will be matched by 25% of other funds (see attachment). Some of the landowners that sell to the State do so out of a conservation ethic and are willing to donate value. In prioritizing parcels that have similar habitat value, a landowner willing to donate value will be the priority. Our practice is to inform all landowners of the appraised value of their respective property. It is up to them if they want to donate a portion of the value. Per MS 97A.056, Subd. 24, Any state agency or organiz ation requesting a direct appropriation f rom the OHF must inf orm the LSOHC at the time of the request f or f unding is made, whether the request is supplanting or is a substitution f or any previous f unding that was not f rom a legacy f und and was used f or the same purpose: This request supplements existing sources of funding by accomplishing work that would not have been implemented but for the appropriation, or accomplishing work at a level not attainable but for the appropriation.

Often restoration efforts can extend 2-3 years beyond the minimum standard time table to establish high quality native plant community restorations. All new WMA acquisitions require a WMA Initial Development Plan (IDP) be completed by the Area Wildlife Supervisor responsible for land management and approved by the Region. SNAs have similar standards with site specific work being directed by each site s Adaptive Management Plan. As part of the state outdoor recreation system, ongoing maintenance will be accomplished through routine management activities accomplished by our network of DNR offices. Periodic enhancements will be accomplished by existing staff, CCM crews, temporary project staffing, through vendor contract or by volunteers if appropriate. Long-term management costs (e.g., invasive species treatments, prescribed fire, and monitoring/evaluation) will be covered by a combination funding sources, including, but not limited to the G ame and Fish Fund, ENRTF, Outdoor Heritage Fund, federal grants, and small game surcharge, as appropriate.

If funded, this program will meet all applicable criteria set forth in MS 97A.056 - Yes Will there be planting of corn or any crop on OHF land purchased or restored in this program - Yes Explain The primary purposes of WMAs are to develop and manage for the production of wildlife and for compatible outdoor recreation. To fulfill those goals, the DNR may use limited farming specifically to enhance or benefit the management of state lands for wildlife. Lands proposed to be acquired as WMAs may include initial development plans to utilize farming to prepare previously farmed sites for native plant seeding. This is a standard practice across the Midwest to prepare the seedbed for native seed planting. On a small percentage of WMAs (less than 2.5% ), DNR uses farming to provide a winter food source for a variety of wildlife species in agriculture-dominated landscapes largely devoid of winter food sources. Are any of the crop types planted G MO treated - Yes Will local government approval be sought prior to acquisition - Yes Is the land you plan to acquire (fee title) free of any other permanent protection - No Some lands proposed for acquisition may contain a portion of protected land. In these cases, we will appraise protected acres separately and seek to have that value donated or pay for them using non- OHF funds. Is this land currently open for hunting and fishing - No Will the land be open for hunting and fishing after completion - Yes All WMA lands to be acquired will be open for hunting and fishing with no variations from State of Minnesota regulations. All SNAs acquired with this funding would be open to the most appropriate types of hunting for the particular parcels. Priority will be given to acquiring lands to be open to full hunting. However, some parcels may have limited hunting in order to best protect its resources and/or for additions to existing SNAs to match existing hunting allowed. Specifically, the parcel list has the Myhr Creek Ridge SNA which is proposed to continue the existing SNA s allowance of all hunting but no trapping. Who will eventually own the fee title land? The State of Minnesota as part of either the Wildlife Management Area system or the Scientific and Natural Area system. Are there currently trails or roads on any of the acquisitions on the parcel list - No Will new trails or roads be developed or improved as a result of the OHF acquisition - No Accomplishment T imeline: Activity Acquire in fee 350 a cres fo r desig na tio n a s Wildlife Ma na g ement Area 6/30/2020 Acquire in fee 120 a cres fo r desig na tio n a s Scientific a nd Na tura l Area 6/30/2020 Prepare acquired lands to minimum standards including sig nag e, parking areas, and native veg etatio n planting if necessa ry Appro ximate Date Co mpleted 6/30/2022 D ate o f Final Rep o rt S ub missio n: 11/1/2021 Federal Funding: Do you anticipate federal funds as a match for this program - No Outcomes: P ro g rams in the no rthern fo rest reg io n: Healthy populations of endangered, threatened, and special concern species as well as more common species Acres of habitat acquired that support endangered, threatened and special concern species and Species in Greatest Conservation Need.
