The 2025-26 Wisconsin State Budget
Get ready for a productive year of action in 2025! Gov. Tony Evers will introduce a state budget in February, kicking off a robust and collaborative process involving the public, legislators, and advocates like you. A strong budget is key to advancing our environmental goals.
Last summer and fall, Wisconsin Conservation Voters members attended listening sessions and responded to member surveys to share input on environmental priorities. These included funding for PFAS and lead remediation, reauthorizing the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program to protect and expand our state’s parks and public lands, and advancing policies that promote clean energy for a sustainable future. We will work alongside you to ensure these critical environmental priorities are fully funded and included in the final budget signed by the governor in June.
Save the date for Conservation Lobby Day on Tuesday, May 6, 2025
Join us in Madison for one of our most impactful days of the year – Conservation Lobby Day. At the beginning of every legislative session, we bring conservation voters like you together from around the state to meet with your legislators. You have the opportunity to tell your legislators directly about the action you want them to take on clean water, clean energy, and a healthy democracy.
Citizen lobbying really does make a difference! After every one of our past lobby days, we’ve seen direct policy wins that have helped us move our conservation agenda forward.
