Forever Habitat Teams restored or enhanced 7,352 acres in cooperation with farmers and private landowners. Their work included 2,387 acres of grassland restoration and 4,965 acres of prescribed fire, with 789 of these acres being management or restoration of public land habitat. Minnesota's 10 PF Farm Bill Wildlife Biologists worked in partnership with hundreds of Minnesota landowners and farmers to enroll 3,340 acres of habitat into federal and statewide habitat conservation programs (e.g. Conservation Reserve Program, CRP). In addition, the Minnesota Sharp-tailed Grouse Habitat Partnership acquired 960 acres that will become a Wildlife Management Area, managed by the MN Department of Natural Resources for Sharp-tailed grouse.
