The Implementing Practices section of the GAM details procedures and guidance for activities that construct practices and projects, including items such as; processing conservation practice contracts, vegetation guidelines, and pertinent forms. 

Note: A number of forms previously in this section have been moved to Optional and Example Forms for FY24 as a result of recent amendments to Minnesota Statutes, section 103C.501 and the subsequent transition from the State Cost-Share Program to the Conservation Contracts Program. For FY23 & prior State Cost-Share Program grants, please continue to use BWSR-provided forms.
