The project will include lake monitoring on three (3) lakes found in the Rum River watershed in southeastern Crow Wing County (CWC). The project will be conducted in an effort to gain sufficient data on these data-deficient lake sites. All of the proposed monitoring sites are target sites for 2013-2014. One of the goals of the CWC Local Comprehensive Water Plan (CWP) is to establish a countywide Comprehensive Monitoring Plan (CMP).
This project will provide Stressor ID work and assistance for the development of a work plan for the Major Watershed Project. The Major Watershed Project will include a plan for civic engagement and outreach, with assistance from ten Local Government Units from the Crow Wing River Watershed.
The project will include lake and stream monitoring. Lake monitoring will be completed on twenty lakes found in The Crow Wing River Watershed - West Crow Wing County (CWC) & Southern Cass County for 2020. There will be 11 streams sampled located in Crow Wing, Cass, Wadena and the border of Cass/Morrison Counties 2020 & 2021. The project will be conducted in an effort to gain sufficient data on these data-deficient lake sites. One of the goals of the CWC Local Comprehensive Water Plan (CWP) is to establish a countywide Comprehensive Monitoring Plan (CMP).
This project will collect a complete Trophic Site Index (TSI) data set for Crow Wing County lakes and a complete data set for streams and rivers for the Intensive Monitoring Program (IMP). Crow Wing County, Cass County, Wadena County, Morrison County and Hubbard County are partnering to ensure that all target lakes and rivers within the Crow Wing River watershed are monitored efficiently.
This first year of the project will collect available data relevant to the TMDL development, determine the data sets best suited for the TMDL development. Gain a better understanding of the watershed and impaired lakes, and assessment of all potential sources (internal and external) of the causes of lake impairment. EOR will also review the data produced by the MPCA for the impairment assessment for each of the lakes during year 1 of the project.
This project will initiate project coordination among project partners. It will enhance civic engagement and outreach endeavors activities to support Phase 2 of TMDL project. It will also support field activities associated with stressor ID work.

This project is a series of intergenerational events held in the Rondo community allowing folks to come together to share cultural experiences with food, herbs, planting & growing. Participants will access information that's been removed from our communities through collective research, giving us the chance to relearn our cultural wisdom of growing, harvesting, & preparing plants for medicinal purposes. While this project will focus on African American and Black populations, all will be welcome.
The East Side Freedom Library's artist group,From Race to Relatives (FR2R), will design and host indoor house parties, outdoor block parties, performance, and art maker spaces on the Greater East Side and elsewhere in the city that feature room to groove, get creative, and learn about how to support community still feeling the social and economic effects of pandemic. This effort will also include the creation of media, visual arts, podcasts and programming, moving the community to be art makers.
The Cultural River Stewards project gathers narratives and practices from different cultural communities' stewardship of the Mississippi River (Haha Wakpa). Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) will partner with Language Attitude to work with community members, educators, and artists to bridge science and cultural stewardship. Through curriculum and stewardship events, we will gather and share community connections to the Mississippi River (Haha Wakpa) in Minnesota (Mni Sota Makoce).
