Gathering Waters Conservancy proudly reports a great conservation victory -- the 2007 reauthorization of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund.
The Stewardship
Fund helps acquire land for recreation, wildlife habitat, natural areas and water quality in Wisconsin. Stewardship
money has protected more than 475,000 acres across the state. Yet,
in 2007, some lawmakers argued that Stewardship
was a luxury we could not afford.
Gathering Waters
Conservancy led a resounding, successful grassroots campaign to keep
the Stewardship Fund vital. In spite of contentious debate,
the 2007 state budget extends the Stewardship Fund through 2020 and increases
funding by 40%.
For those of you who helped our campaign, thank you! Stay engaged! There's more work to do. more
