[PCA] Fragmented Prairies: Reconnecting Habitats through Collaborative Partnerships

[Moira McGinty Klos]

How did MN increase the protection and management of more prairie
throughout the state? Learn about a successful model that can be adapted
and emulated for leveraging partnerships to increase prairie protection. Join
us for this 2.5-day in-person workshop!

The *Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan
<https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/mcbs/mn_prairie_conservation_plan.pdf>* is
a model for public-private collaboration in conservation that can be
adapted and emulated. Hosted in partnership with the *Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources (MN DNR) <https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/>*, this
workshop is designed specifically for on-the-ground practitioners and
statewide coordinators from across the Midwest (8+ states).

This event is small by design and capacity is limited. *If you are
interested but need time to get approval, contact Moira McGinty Klos,
mmcgintyklos at naturalareas.org <mmcgintyklos at naturalareas.org> to
temporarily hold your space!*

*Fragmented Prairies and Grasslands*: *Reconnecting Habitats through
Collaborative Partnerships* explores various grassland conservation and
management strategies along with the partnerships required to make them
successful. Engage with a large network of Prairie Practitioners on a field
tour that explores and discusses a wide variety of native prairie and other
grassland protection and management projects. Witness the conversations
taking place on non-native, cool season grass control, prescribed
disturbance, woody and invasive control, ecological monitoring, and much
more.

Visit with on-the-ground field managers on active projects working to solve
everyday grassland management questions. Many great MN prairie treasures
will be visited including Morton Outcrops Scientific and Natural Area
