model that can be adapted and emulated. Hosted in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR), this workshop is designed specifically for on-the-ground practitioners and statewide coordinators. Learn from active projects working
to solve everyday grassland management questions. Many great MN prairie treasures will be visited including Chippewa Prairie Preserve, Lac Qui Parle Wildlife Management Area, Hastad and Randall Waterfowl Production Areas, Lake Johanna Esker Preserve, Ordway
Prairie Preserve and several native prairie bank conservation easements.<o:p class="ContentPasted1"> </o:p></span></p>
