  • Thief Lake WMA Master Plan Summary This Plan Summarizes Management Activities for Thief Lake WMA, a 54,957 Acre WMA in the Northwest Portion of Minnesota
    Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area Master Plan, 2017-2027 June 2017 1 I. Executive Summary DNR Mission Statement The mission of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is to work with citizens to conserve and manage the state’s natural resources, to provide outdoor recreation opportunities, and to provide for commercial uses of natural resources in a way that creates a sustainable quality of life. WMA Mission Statement Wildlife management areas (WMAs) are part of Minnesota's outdoor recreation system and are established to protect those lands and waters that have a high potential for wildlife production, public hunting, trapping, fishing, and other compatible recreational uses. They are the backbone to DNR's wildlife management efforts in Minnesota and are key to protecting wildlife habitat for future generations, providing citizens with opportunities for hunting, fishing and wildlife watching, and promoting important wildlife-based tourism in the state. Thief Lake WMA Master Plan Summary This plan summarizes management activities for Thief Lake WMA, a 54,957 acre WMA in the northwest portion of Minnesota. The last master plan for Thief Lake was written in 1980, and was intended to cover the period from 1980-1989. Significant planning of various management activities has occurred since that time, but this is the first formal updating of the master plan. The most important change since the 1980 plan is a larger physical footprint (55,957 acres versus 33,255 acres in 1980). Many of these additions to the WMA resulted from a shift in management authority from Division of Forestry (FOR). Other changes include a shift in how forested habitats are managed, a shift in management emphasis to native plant communities, changes in wildlife use and public use of the area, new challenges including invasive species and changing climate, and changes in how we approach farming on the WMA.

  • Minnesota's Clearwater River, Section 319 Success Story
    Section 319 NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM SUCCESS STORY Managing Agricultural DrainageMinnesota Reduces Bacteria in Clearwater River Waterbody Improved Nonpoint sources of pollution, such as livestock operations, wildlife, and drainage from wild rice paddies, contributed high levels of bacteria in Minnesota’s Clearwater River that violated water quality standards. As a result, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) added a 58-mile segment of the Clearwater River to the state’s Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters in 2002 for pathogens impairment. Project partners implemented a number of restoration projects, including planting buffer strips, stabilizing streambanks and improving the drainage of wild rice paddies. These efforts have reduced bacteria levels; as a result, MPCA removed the 58-mile segment of Clearwater River from the state’s 2010 list of impaired waters for bacteria. Problem The 886,600-acre Clearwater River watershed (Figure 1) drains portion of Clearwater, Mahnomen, Polk and Red Lake counties in northern Minnesota’s Red River Basin. Major land uses in the watershed include agriculture (54 percent), forest (24 percent) and wetlands (14 percent). The watershed has a poorly defined floodplain and low gradient, and it has been altered by extensive drainage, wide- spread conversion of tallgrass prairie to farmland, and urban/suburban development. As a result, the basin is subject to frequent floods that affect urban and rural infrastructure, as well as agricultural production. Between 1948 and 1958, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers channelized approximately 38 miles of the Clearwater River to reduce flood damage to agricultural interests in the surrounding area.
