Prairie Stewardship Planning <br />Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br />Customized Restoration Plans <br />The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN <br />DNR~ began a program to provide private landowners <br />with Prairie Stewardship Planning Assistance. The service <br />is offered to those who own remnant prairie, have <br />planted prairie, or are considering restoring prairie on <br />their property. Bonestroo's Natural Resources team was <br />chosen to provide this service. <br />Prairie Stewardship Planning Assistance offers a wide <br />variety of services not only for prairies, but for all other <br />natural areas on a particular property. We customize <br />restoration planning services to help landowners achieve <br />their land use/resource protection goals while <br />maintaining or improving the ecological integrity of the <br />natural communities present. <br />Our expertise in restoration and natural areas <br />management includes: <br />• Cost estimating for restoration activities <br />• Prescribed burn plan creation <br />• Haying and grazing plans <br />• Wetland restoration <br />• Forest stewardship planning <br />As a final product, landowners receive a detailed and <br />customized Prairie Stewardship Plan, educational <br />material, and hands-on training. <br />Our restoration ecologists have written Prairie <br />Stewardship Plans for more than 7,500 acres of property <br />since the program's inception in 2000. These restoration <br />plans are routinely commended by MN DNR staff as <br />being the best and most user friendly they have seen. <br />• Plant community and floristic inventories <br />• Restoration and management plans <br />Bonestroo <br />® Rosene <br />Anderlil< & <br />Associates <br />Fsgineers fi Architects <br />Prairie Ste wardship Services Pro vide <br />
