Pictured: An ACD employee seeds land in St. Francis with native savanna plant species. The landowner intends to deed the 68.5-acre property to the ACD. Property within wildlife hubs and corridors has been protected by a program initiated by the ACD. The ACD currently holds easements on two properties -- 55 acres in Burns Township and 200 acres along the Rum River in Anoka. In addition to this, a landowner intends to deed ACD his 68.5-acre property in St. Francis (pictured) and has already established a conservation easement with the MN Land Trust. Several acres of prairie, oak woodland, and oak savanna have been restored on this land, which was decimated by oak wilt, and a control burn was done in a wetland area. Funding for this project also came from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, MN DNR, Great River Greening, and volunteer labor was provided by the Boy Scouts. Hundreds of conservation projects have been accomplished by two ACD employees who serve the seven-county metro area. Over the last three years, their accomplishments include 248 BMP designs, 133 project installations, 183 educational presentations, 14 projects involving under-served clients, and 353 maintenance inspections. The program began in the spring of 2000. A “Build Your Own Rain Garden Workshop” was recently held by the ACD with 26 attendees. The event promoted rain garden benefi ts and included a hands-on demonstration of how to install the components of a rain garden. The ACD also presented rain garden information 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Anoka Conservation District during a Low Impact Development conference in December 2007. An ACD supervisor held an open house to promote the work of ACD staff, supervisors and elected offi cials. The event was part of a larger effort by ACD supervisors and staff toward becoming more visible among county commissioners and other local government organizations. Top 5 Natural Resource Concerns Preserve/Enhance Natural Habitats: Natural Communities, Wildlife Connectivity, Wetlands Improve Water Quality – Wetland, Lakes, Streams & Groundwater Development (Minimize Impact): Provide guidance, Assistance, Education & Local Accountability Private Land Stewardship: Promote easements, Lakeshore/Stream Restorations & Rain Gardens Infl uencing Public Policy: State legislature, City ordinances Future Projects • ACD is currently working with the Upper Rum River WMO to aid them in the completion of water quality, wetland, and infi ltration standards for their second generation water plan. • ACD has been working to build a partnership with several cities and water management organization in southern another county to coordinate efforts in the area of suburban water quality retrofi ts. This partnership recently submitted a Clean Water Legacy grant application to fund a joint position to facilitate the design and installation of retrofi t BMPs. Retrofi tting old neighborhood is not required under non-degradation, SWPPP, or NPDES standards but is critical to meet some of the goals associated with TMDLs. 7
