inventory and mapping process we will be doing for Hugo and Lino Lakes. Here is Meredith's latest <br />version. It applies to both natural communities and restorations that are intended to mimic natural cover. <br />Would any of vou interested /concerned about this please look it over & get Meredith your comments? We <br />will be convening soon a special meeting on how we are going to proceed on the MLCCS part of this <br />project. <br />33X — Modifiers that reflect natural quality of a site <br />331 - High quality natural community <br />High quality examples of natural communities include a large portion of the <br />species typical of the community (see the community descriptions section). Few weedy plants are <br />present. (Weedy species can be native or non -native and are typical of disturbed areas. In forests weedy <br />species include boxelder, buckthorn, prickly ash, and garlic mustard; in prairies they include red cedar, <br />sumac, brome grass, and Kentucky blue- grass.) Most natural processes are occurring, including <br />disturbances such as fire or flooding, if appropriate. There is little or no evidence of human disturbances, <br />such as logging or livestock grazing. <br />332 - Medium quality natural community <br />Medium quality examples of natural communities lack many of the species typical <br />of the community. Weedy species may be abundant, but they are not dominant over the typical native <br />species. (In communities with multiple layers of vegetation, weedy species are not dominant in any layer.) <br />Natural processes may have changed and there may be evidence of human disturbance, but the nature of <br />the community has not been altered beyond recognition. <br />333 - Low Quality <br />In low quality examples of natural communities weedy species are dominant in <br />any or all layers of vegetation. Natural processes are highly altered and there are extensive human <br />disturbances. The community may not resemble any naturally- occurring community (i.e. one described by <br />DNR Natural Heritage or USNVC). <br />5. Minutes of 4/20/00 Work Group Meeting <br />Attached (LUG_minutes 4_20_00.wpd) are some minutes of the last meeting based on notes taken by <br />me and Samantha Hayes. Obviously, they are selective and don't reflect all of the good discussion and <br />ideas we had. Let me know if vou have corrections or additions. <br />6. Other Work Items <br />* Hugo meeting - I'd like to set up a meeting with the new Hugo City Administrator that would preferably <br />happen sometime this month. Who would like to Qo on that meeting? Interested DNR folks: is your <br />groupwise calendar up -to -date so I can check your day /time availability? <br />* MLCCS - We need to have a subgroup meeting on the MLCCS work. Who would like to be involved in <br />that meeting? Interested DNR folks: is your groupwise calendar up-to -date so I can check your day /time <br />availability? <br />* GIS maps - Dale Homuth, Bill Penning, & I have been working with Jacque Stubbs who is doing a set of <br />GIS natural resource maps of Hugo and Lino Lakes and with Dave Redelman who has the Lino Lakes NR <br />Inventory data layers. A set of enlarged hard copies of the maps will be given to Joan Galli, Bill, etc for <br />their wildlife field work in mid -May. We will have various forms of the maps for display and use at our next <br />5/25 work group meeting. Please let me or Jackie know if you have other suggestions etc on the maps <br />we are doing at this phase of the project. <br />Any other business? <br />CC: Art Widerstrom; Bart Richardson; Brian Loeffelholz; Dave Zumeta; Dennis Martin; <br />Hannah Dunevitz; Jacqueline Stubbs; John Saxhaug; Kathleen Wallace; Larry Westerberg; Olin <br />• <br />
