Like the other stewardship reports and surveys in the Anthropocenic Midden
Survey series, this document is intended as a public resource for data and
historical reference. This document is a summary of activities and observations
centered around Lake Hiawatha, Minneapolis, MN in the year 2020. The report
makes recommendations for the forthcoming reconfiguration of the parkland
surrounding Lake Hiawatha,in response to the Hiawatha Golf Course Property
Draft Masterplan . Created by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. This
report includes recommendations to the City of Minneapolis and the MPRB.
This report satisfies the requirements of Sean Connaughty’s Lake Hiawatha
stewardship agreement with the MPRB. At the end of each season, volunteer
leaders are asked to report how many hours and how many volunteers were
involved in their stewardship efforts. This is the report for the year 2020.
The report acknowledges the extraordinary events of 2020 and the impact they
had on the work we did.

Sean,
Thank you for this comprehensive report and for your continued devotion to
reclaiming the natural beauty of Lake Hiawatha.
Two things struck me from your report:
Your photo of the ghastly sandbar rising out of the center of Lake Hiawatha in
front of the 43rd Street Storm Sewer Tunnel is like the specter of a monster
rising out of the Black Lagoon. Would you agree that the City of Minneapolis
that dumps sand on our streets that washes into our storm sewers that feed the
43rd Street Tunnel from Lake Street to 43rd Street, from Chicago Avenue to 26th
Avenue, should be responsible for removing this sand from our lake in order to
give it a chance to regain water purity and sustain aquatic life?
And, second, I think I agree with your final recommendation for "Re-wilding
manicured park areas to re-establish connectivity, habitat and much needed
wetlands," to "allow nature to reclaim areas," so, would you agree that the
re-wilding should include the removal of dams on Minnehaha Creek that
artificially interrupt the flow of the Creek and raise the water level of Lake
Hiawatha?

Awesome report, you and Melissa are both saints in my book.
I live at 4237 22nd, and look forward to watching the progress once the heavy
equipment arrives.
Thanks for all your efforts.
