The county boards of Walworth, Oneida, Vilas, Langlade, and Ozaukee Counties have all passed resolutions supporting the renewal of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.
Like all counties in Wisconsin, the five that passed these resolutions have utilized Knowles-Nelson Stewardship grants to create outdoor recreation opportunities, improve existing facilities, and protect rare and important natural areas. Their resolutions share common themes about the importance of Knowles-Nelson in improving quality of life and providing economic opportunities.
