It is important that ACD remains continually engaged with each entity to <br />• avoid duplication of efforts, <br />• maximize efficiencies, <br />• capitalize on common interests between and among entities, <br />• direct limited financial and staff resources toward the most cost-effective <br />approaches, and <br />• apply management strategies at a scale most appropriate to meet identified <br />goals and objectives (e.g. lakesheds vs. regional aquifer recharge areas vs. <br />multi -county wildlife corridors or invasive species management). <br />The following tables identify scale, partnering entities, and priorities for ACD's natural <br />resource management collaborations. <br />Table 3: Multi-County/Regional Collaboration <br />Priority <br />Ecological restoration of oak <br />savanna and other declining <br />habitats <br />Groundwater recharge <br />Aquatic and terrestrial invasive <br />species management (e.g. <br />silver carp, zebra mussels, <br />Eurasian milfoil, wild parsnip, <br />buckthorn, leafy spurge, purple <br />loosestrife, gypsy moth, and <br />emerald ash borer) <br />Table 4: County -Wide Collaboration <br />Priority <br />Coordinate a comprehensive <br />Jurisdiction <br />Anoka County <br />Jurisdiction <br />Anoka Sand Plain <br />Recharge areas for <br />each of the major <br />metro aquifers. <br />Varying scales as <br />appropriate for the <br />species of concern <br />Partners <br />Anoka Sand Plain <br />Partnership, MN DNR, <br />Anoka County Parks <br />Land use authorities within <br />as -yet -to -be -identified <br />groundwater management <br />areas <br />MN DNR, municipal weed <br />inspectors, USDA NRCS, <br />Anoka County Parks <br />Partners <br />Watershed Districts, Water <br />Anoka Conservation District Comprehensive Plan October 2014 page 9 <br />
