Project Overview
The overall goal of this proposal is to provide additional grassland habitat within the Prairie Pothole Region of western MN for the benefit of nesting waterfowl and other grassland dependent birds. The objectives of this proposal are to restore 123 ac of cropland to grasslands dominated by native grasses and forbs, finish the conversion of 13 ac of tree groves to grasslands, and complete the initial phase of converting 7 ac of tree groves to grasslands. All of the work will take place on eight federal Waterfowl Production Areas within the Fergus Falls Wetland Management District.
