About the Program
3M Cottage Grove is located in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, along the banks of the Mississippi River. This site is located in an urban/suburban area where native habitat has been severely reduced, so to help address this issue, the team manages a native prairie habitat in conjunction with projects aimed specifically to benefit native species.
Practices and Impacts

This site is located in an urban/suburban area where native habitat has been severely reduced, so to help address this issue, the team manages a native prairie habitat in conjunction with projects aimed specifically to benefit native species.
Practices and Impacts
- Team members treat non-native plants within the 600-acre prairie habitat to preserve native species composition. They use herbicides, cut and stack non-native woody vegetation and mow the cut brush stacks.
- The team conducts monitoring for vegetation, avian species and pollinators.
