| A Handbook for Collecting Vegetation Plot Data in Minnesota: The Releve Method describes the current practices of DNR plant ecologists for collection of vegetation plot data using the releve method. Releves have been widely used in Europe for vegetation description and classification and increasingly are being adopted for vegetation study in North America. The DNR maintains a database containing electronic versions of releves and other very similar kinds of vegetation plot data collected across Minnesota beginning in the 1960s. This handbook supplants the first handbook describing the methods DNR plant ecologists use for collecting releve plot data, A Handbook for Collecting Releve Data in Minnesota, which was compiled by J. C. Almendinger in 1987. Booklet Version Formatted to print double-sided, horizontally on 8.5" x 11" paper, fold in half, and staple along the spine to make a 5.5" x 8.5" booklet.Single-Sided Version Formatted to print single-sided, horizontally on 8.5" x 11" paper, two pages per sheet.Single-Page Version Formatted for electronic viewing, one page per sheet.

| Lakescaping for Wildlife and Water Quality represents six years of research and the collaborative efforts of Carrol Henderson, DNR non-game wildlife specialist, Carolyn Dindorf, award-winning soil and water conservationist, and Fred Rozumalski, highly acclaimed landscape ecologist. Learn techniques to prevent shoreline erosion, restore wildlife habitat, wildflowers and clean water. This book will show you alternatives to the conventional practice of planting "lawn all the way to the lake," a practice detrimental both to wildlife and to water quality. Lakescaping includes chapters about the lake ecosystems, designing lakeshore landscapes, site preparation and general tips on stewardship of the land and water. Not only for lakeshore owners, the ideas presented in this book also apply to landscaping along rivers, streams, and wetlands. Appendix A offers native plant recommendations.
