Easement Enhancement for Climate Resiliency

In 2023, BWSR was appropriated funds to enhance easements for the purposes for climate resiliency, adaptation, and carbon sequestration.  These funds will be used to inspect aging easements and enhance existing easements when the work aligns with Minnesota’s Climate Action Framework.

While landowners are responsible for maintaining their easements, the structural components of wetland restorations will begin to fail as they reach the end of their intended lifespan. This program allows BWSR to evaluate failing wetland structures, work with SWCDs and landowners to replace them.
