species from permitted development sites where such rare plants would <br />otherwise be destroyed. Ecologically appropriate and permanently <br />protected recipient sites will be identified. Protocols for salvage, <br />transplantation, species -specific management, and monitoring will be <br />developed. The first ever permit to allow rare plant salvage in MN was <br />issued to ACD in 2019 to salvage over 6,000 lance -leaf violets. <br />Lawns to Legumes — ACD and partners secured funds from BWSR to <br />implement demonstration neighborhoods along a narrow riparian corridor <br />that spans from the Coon Rapids Dam along the Mississippi River upstream <br />to the Anoka Nature Preserve on the Rum River.
