Project Overview
The East Central MN Enhancement proposal will enhance 250 acres of permanently protected cover on two Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) including the Erickson-Lidstrom Family WMA in Kanabec County and the Kunkel WMA in Mille Lacs County. Prescribed fire will be used on all three sites to control tree and brush encroachment as well as improve native grass/forb stand conditions. In addition to a prescribed burn the SW unit of the Erickson-Lidstrom Family WMA is lacking in native species diversity. After the prescribed fire is conducted additional native prairie species will be seeded into 30 acres of this site.
