Partnership between Minnesota DNR, Fond du Lac Band could bring elk to northeastern Minnesota

  • Summary

  • Elk used to roam across the entire state of Minnesota. Today there are just a few hundred, and only in the northwestern part of the state. But that could soon change.


    On Thursday night, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa will have a public meeting to discuss the reintroduction of elk to the Fond du Lac Reservation and surrounding areas in northeastern Minnesota.


    It’s a project that started more than ten years ago, and now is on its way to becoming reality. Makenzie Henk, the elk biologist with the Fond du Lac band, joined Minnesota Now to talk about the project.
