Send a Knowles-Nelson Postcard

Since 1989, the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program has funded land protection, water access, and trails across Wisconsin. The Legislature failed to renew it in the last state budget, leaving its future uncertain.

Legislators need to hear from you!

Upload a photo from your favorite Knowles-Nelson property and add a short message. We’ll print real postcards and mail them to the new Governor and legislature when the session begins in January so they know: Knowles-Nelson needs to be a priority from day one.

Tangible, personal messages cut through in ways emails can’t.

Upload a photo from your favorite Knowles-Nelson property and share what these trails, parks, and outdoor places mean to you.

We’ll print real postcards and deliver them to the new Governor and legislature at the start of the new legislative session in January so lawmakers know exactly what Wisconsin stands to lose if there is no Stewardship Program.

Help make sure Knowles-Nelson is a priority from day one.

Upload a photo from your favorite Knowles-Nelson property and tell us where it was taken.

Write a brief message of support of Knowles-Nelson, along with your name and address.

That’s it! We’ll print physical postcards with your photo & message and mail them at the start of the new legislative session.
