This grant from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is for assessing climate change and wildfire vulnerability on Minnesota’s public lands. The BLM is offering this grant to find ways to manage these lands sustainably for public recreation, resource extraction, education, research, and watershed protection. The recipient will receive historical parcel data from the BLM and will develop a feasible study plan, considering optimal visitation times based on site conditions like wetlands and snowmobile trails. This grant is for cooperatively accumulating and analyzing data through fieldwork to identify potential climate-related disturbances and propose effective management options, ensuring the long-term health and utility of these vital public resources.

| Description: | The BLM is interested in finding ways to manage public lands to sustain their use for public recreation, resource extraction, education, research, watershed protection, and other purposes. The BLM will provide to the recipient information on the locations of the parcels to be studied as well as background information that the BLM has collected on the parcels in the 1970s and in 2011. The recipient will develop a feasible study plan that will take into consideration the best times to visit each parcel, based on the presence of wetlands (which favor frozen-ground visits) and snowmobile trails (which favor winter visits). The recipient and the BLM will cooperatively accumulate data that will be useful to the study, and the recipient will conduct fieldwork and will analyze the data to identify potential climate-related disturbances and suggest management options to address those disturbances. |
