LETTER: Don’t let Stewardship Fund die by legislative negligence

Wauwatosa resident calls on state lawmakers to restore funding for the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.

In a recent letter to the editor published in the Ozaukee Press, Wauwatosa resident Karen Zimmerman calls attention to the risk facing the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program after its funding was removed from the state budget. Zimmerman urges lawmakers to pass AB 435 and SB 436 to restore $72 million per year for land conservation, clean water, and public access projects before the June 30, 2026 deadline.
