Transitioning a degraded or non-native ecosystem is not a linear path and may require adoption of new methods over time as we both learn more about how the habitat and wildlife respond. 3.Hennepin County staff and you will work together to achieve the goals in the HMP and/or EIP. There are many ways to reach these goals, and we will consider your input, costs, technique efficacy, and best science to choose well-informed approaches. We will also work with you to adapt and address to changes over time. 4.To the best of your ability, you will notify Hennepin County staff to changes in ecological conditions that are not in-line with the HMP and/or EIP goals. For example, if erosion or non-native plants are observed within the project area, please communicate that to Hennepin County staff. 5.The Ecological Improvement Plan (attached) has specific maintenance or management requirements for the partner/applicant related to the conservation project(s). These management requirements should reflect our conversations about your available resources and ability to assist. If you do not feel that they do, or if that changes, please communicate that to Hennepin County staff. 6.The partner/applicant will allow Hennepin County, the MN Land Trust, and/or any co-holder organization's representatives access to the Project Area for continued integrated and adaptive habitat management over the duration of executed Scopes of Work related to the EIP.
