Saving Endangered Pollinators through Data-Driven Prairie Restoration
Minnesota Zoo, Parks, and TNC will use prairie restorations and Endangered Dakota skipper reintroductions to study factors supporting butterflies and develop foundational habitat management recommendations for Minnesotas imperiled prairie butterflies.
$800,000 the first year is from the trust fund. Of this amount, $630,000 is to the Minnesota Zoological Garden and $170,000 is to the commissioner of natural resources to reestablish populations of Minnesota's imperiled butterflies through reintroductions and prairie restorations and by developing foundational habitat recommendations for preventing future extinctions. This appropriation is available until June 30, 2023, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.
