Reintroducing the Dakota skipper to Minnesota's Prairie

This 2023 produced documentary details the rearing and release of the Dakota skipper butterfly and highlights key Minnesota partnerships. In 2019, Minnesota State Parks and Trails partnered with the Minnesota Zoo and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on a Dakota skipper conservation initiative, with the goal of re-establishing the lost self-sustaining wild population at Glacial Lakes State Park. Funded by Minnesota's taxpayers through the Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund and the Parks and Trails Legacy Fund, the project supports the Minnesota Zoo's Dakota skipper breeding and rearing program. Before Dakota skippers could be returned to the state parks, woody stems were reduced in 200 acres of degraded prairie habitat and 50 acres of trees were thinned from savannas.
