They didn't rebuild many dens per-se, did dig some out but mostly reclamation of the habitat, by prescribed burns and cutting out invasive plant species. But yes, they did most of the reconstruction for Timber Rattlers.
There are only two venomous species in Minnesota, both of which are pretty rare in their ranges. The Timber Rattlesnake and the Massasauga.
Both of these Rattlesnakes would live in the Mississippi river bluffs in SE Minnesota, however there hasn't been a Massasauga sighting for quite some time, they are considered "endangered".
My brother said they have found other species of snakes in the Rattlesnake dens such as bullsnakes and garters, other than that, fairly stable numbers of Timbers.

Re: Timber Rattlesnakes
That is very interesting. I recently went to King and Queen's Bluff to do some research for a project at school. It was actually a conservation site for timbers
