About this award
This $860,000 Cooperative Agreement, awarded on May 1, 2024 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Coastal Program (CFDA 15.630), will fund the restoration of a degraded portion of Kingsbury Creek, a trout stream in Proctor, Minnesota. The project aims to reshape the stream channel, plant native vegetation, and construct a floodplain to enhance the ecological value and community benefits of the waterway. Key outcomes include improved habitat for native fish species, increased recreational opportunities such as fishing, and a more visually appealing stream setting for community enjoyment.
Additionally, the South St. Louis Soil & Water Conservation District, the primary award recipient, has been involved in other federally-funded stream restoration projects as a sub-recipient. This includes work on the restoration of Miller Creek in partnership with the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, as well as mitigating a migration barrier and constructing an accessible fishing platform at Tischer Creek in Hartley Park. These efforts demonstrate the district's expertise in enhancing aquatic habitats, improving water quality, and providing increased public access and recreational amenities.
Description
The project will reshape the stream to make IT more like a natural one, plant native plants, and create a floodplain for the stream to spread out during flood events. The project will result in a creek that provides more value to the community, including a recreation and food source from fishing and a more beautiful stream setting. Everyone in the community will benefit, including families that will enjoy the park, students that will learn in a cool outdoor space, and anglers that will be able to catch a native brook trout.
