We will compile all available data for Minnesota Trumpeter Swans and use these sources to model historical population abundance and predict future population dynamics.

The Minnesota River Basin Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) models simulate sediment erosion and transport, however these models periodically need to be adjusted to be consistent with the most recent sources of information regarding sediment distribution and loading rates. The goal of this project is to refine the sediment source partitioning and simulation in the Minnesota River basin using all relevant available sources of information.

The Minnesota River Basin Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) models, which simulate flow and pollutant transport, need to be refined to be consistent with the most recent external sources of land use, hydrologic response, and surface flow attributions. The primary goal of this work is to refine the hydrologic calibration in the Minnesota River basin.

The Works Museum will design, fabricate, and install a new exhibit with partners from Minnesota's East African, Hmong, and Latinx communities that forwards elementary education goals and celebrates Minnesota's rich cultural diversity.

IARP is proposing to form a traditional Iraqi dance troupe to study and perform traditional dances from different regions across Iraq and to perform for the general public of Minnesota. Iraqi Minnesotan youth and young adults will be trained by transitional dance instructor and musician Hisham Shallal.

To document in 13 oral history interviews the history of Celtic Junction Arts Center.

To compile information on publicly-owned Jacques art and allow greater public access to these historic resources.

To conduct a conservation survey of 95 works of Francis Lee Jaques housed at three Minnesota museums.

A conservation survey was conducted for the artworks of Francis Lee Jacques from the Bell Museum, the Jacques Art Center and the St. Louis county Historical Society. Nine out of 95 works out were identified and prioritized based on condition. Each of the nine works received a treatment proposal and an estimate for its conservation needs.

This project acquired 40 acres of land within the Jay Cooke State Park boundary on its western side. The land may serve as western access to hiking trails in the future.

This project constructed a 40 kw solar array for Jay Cooke State Park. The array will offset electrical use in the shop area, which is one of the highest energy using areas in the park.

Upgrades to the River Inn retained the building’s historic integrity and include new ADA-accessible restrooms, new historically appropriate and energy-efficient power-assisted exterior doors, new interpretive exhibits, new energy-efficient lighting and upgrades to a large three-dimensional topographical map with recommended biking, photography, geology, history and nature routes to explore.
