This is a wetlands technical document supporting a state and local contract opportunity for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) Parks & Trails Division. The document pertains to a rare plant survey along a proposed 6.2-mile re-route segment of the Arrowhead State Trail managed by the Tower Area. The survey corridor extends 50 feet from the trail centerline on both sides to identify rare plant species prior to trail re-routing and surface upgrade for all-season ATV use. The project area encompasses a mixture of terrain types including constructed trail and road areas, clear-cut forests, clear-cut regrowth, and mixed deciduous and coniferous forest ecosystems.

The document provides technical and environmental baseline information necessary for contractors to understand site conditions and survey requirements. This wetlands assessment and related ecological data inform the scope of work for the rare plant survey contract, establishing the environmental context and constraints that bidders must consider when developing proposals. The technical information supports project planning, budgeting, and scheduling for the survey work along this corridor segment of the Arrowhead State Trail.
