Tree Planting in the Prairie: Recommendations By: Mark Lindquist To: Minnesota State Technical Committee May 9, 2013

 Work with citizens to conserve/manage state’s natural resources  Provide outdoor recreation opportunities  Provide for commercial uses of natural resources to create sustainable quality of life DNR Mission

Trees and prairies: what’s the big deal? Predation & Avoidance Predation & Avoidance Habitat fragmentation and los Habitat fragmentation and los

Some species need open horizons!

Multi-Decade Conflict Different preferences Different preferences Resource management objectives Landscape aesthetics Institutional factors Institutional factors CRP practice requirements Tree sale revenues Lack of information Lack of information Assume that pheasants most need winter cover

What is the approach? Provide recommendations to help inform decision making Provide recommendations to help inform decision making USDA program rules still apply Eligible landowners have a right to apply Landscape and site level guidance Landscape and site level guidance There are shades of grey There are shades of grey

Landscape level guidance: A MAP!

Site level guidance: A MATRIX!

If the answer is yes, then check “Neutral/Appropriate” box. Consistent with Prairie Plan (Map 1) Consistent with Other Landscape Plans Appropriate design If the answer is no, then check ”Concern” box. If the answer is yes, then check “Neutral/Appropriate” box. Conservation objective requires trees/woody veg. (e.g., shelter belt) Proposed tree planting is adequate to meet the conservation objective Native tree species are used Shortest woody species suitable for objective are used.

Evaluation is to consider: What is on the land now What is on the land now On the site and near by Vegetation and at risk species Historical land cover and landscape position Historical land cover and landscape position Relationship to any other landscape plans Relationship to any other landscape plans Design of conservation practice Design of conservation practice Will it do the job? What species are choosen?

Informed Decision Making Staff and landowner work through matrix to determine the number and severity of concerns with tree planting. Staff and landowner work through matrix to determine the number and severity of concerns with tree planting. In the context of landowner conservation needs, program rules and landscape considerations – recommendations and decisions are made.
