Minnesota Children's Museum's mission is sparking children's learning through play. Arts and Cultural Heritage funding will help us to bring our mission to life by creating new dynamic experiences at the museum in St. Paul and engaging communities across the state in playful learning.
This project will result in the addition of planning information to the green infrastructure (GI) practices included in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. The planning information is used by stormwater practitioners to implement the most effective and cost-efficient practices for managing stormwater runoff volume and pollutants, and to meet regulatory requirements associated with stormwater permits.
Iron enhanced sand filters (IESF) can be effective stormwater management practices. The Minnesota Stormwater Manual currently has limited information on this topic to guide stormwater practitioners and managers. Material, information, and data collected through this project will be used by MPCA staff, working with a technical work group, to update guidance on IESFs for the Minnesota Stormwater Manual.
Vegetation site planning and design is a critical component of stormwater management. Vegetation impacts the performance of stormwater treatment practices and provides other benefits, such as carbon sequestration, habitat, and aesthetic value. The Minnesota Stormwater Manual is the most widely used stormwater resource in Minnesota, but it currently has limited information on vegetation. Additionally, the information on vegetation that does exist in the manual is poorly organized.
MBS proposes baseline biological field surveys in three northern counties; targeted field surveys of sensitive plant species, pollinators, and plant communities; digital maps; book drafts; technical guidance; and data management.
We propose to radio-mark and monitor movements of Minnesota trumpeter swans to provide foundational information necessary for management and conservation.
The project will complete the Minnesota Spring Inventory, identifying, cataloging and assisting in the protection of important water springs threatened by overuse of groundwater, development, land-use changes, and changing climate.
Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) habitat restoration and improvements (1100+ acres), increased public involvement and strategic acquisition (500+ acres) will conserve Minnesota’s most unique and rare resources for everyone’s benefit.
Acquire high priority State Park, Recreation Area and Trail in-holding parcels from willing sellers to protect Minnesotas natural and cultural heritage, enhance outdoor recreation and promote tourism.
This project fulfills legislative direction to expand recreational opportunities on Minnesota State Trails through the development of new trail segments; and the rehabilitation and enhancement of existing State Trails.

The objective of this project is to build on previous efforts aimed at determining the public health risk due to virus contamination in Minnesota groundwater. The Minnesota Department of Health will examine the occurrence of viruses in non-disinfecting groundwater sources in Minnesota as well as evaluate the association between source water virus occurrence and community acute gastrointestinal illness.
The goal of this project is to design and implement a spatial framework for agricultural nutrient budget assessment and tracking in the state of Minnesota. This analysis can be repeated on a defined frequency to assess progress toward narrowing the difference between applied nutrients and crop nutrient needs across the State. The work conducted will provide an improved nutrient budget assessment, maps to use when looking at nutrient balance results in watersheds around the state, and a framework from which future nutrient budget assessments can become more accurate.
Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop (MPWW) will undertake a significant programming expansion: a public art project featuring the written work of incarcerated writers, adapted into large-scale window decals installed in prominent public places in Minnesota, accompanying audio/video pieces made in collaboration between those writers and other local artists, and a supplementary handbook intended to facilitate community discussion about the intersection of art and incarceration.
This project provides panoramic virtual tours of state parks, and panoramic plus video virtual tours of state trails and water trails. Each panoramic virtual tour is accompanied by an accessible/dial-up version highlighting the same scenes.
