The Department of Natural Resources released their 2021 agency budget request, which includes $50 million / year for Knowles-Nelson for ten years.
Carlson said, “We’re just thrilled to see the DNR leadership support the program like that and certainly urge the governor to include that proposal in his executive budget.”
