Desired outcome - Healthy pollinators

CLOSED: first round of sharing ideas has concluded. 

State agencies in Minnesota work to protect pollinators. Together they are taking action to restore pollinator health in our state. For instance:

  • The Minnesota Zoological Garden established the only managed rearing and breeding program for the threatened Dakota skipper, and has led efforts to reintroduce this butterfly in their native range
  • The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources led statewide baseline bee surveys, which contribute to our understanding of bee diversity in Minnesota
