AB 435 & SB 436 : Continuing the Knowles Nelson Stewardship Program

Bill Description

Wisconsin has one of the premier land acquisition programs in the country. It gives all people a place to swim, boat, fish, hunt, and relax in our beautiful state. This program is overwhelmingly popular and a critical component of our state's economy. AB 435 & SB 436 would support land acquisition and management to maintain the goals of the Knowles Nelson Stewardship program.
