“The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program has been a pillar of our state’s proud heritage of conservation, protecting our natural resources, and preserving our vast and valuable natural areas and public spaces,” said Gov. Evers. “Wisconsin’s tradition of being good stewards of our lands has long been supported through the Stewardship Program, and I’m excited that we’re continuing to build upon our conservation efforts through these 12 projects that will help bolster the accessibility, enjoyment, and preservation of our natural spaces in local communities across our state.”
Two communities in Northeast Wisconsin will receive grants:
Menasha
$920,000 will assist with the realignment of the Jefferson Park boat launch, which will separate park traffic from boat launch traffic, thus reducing congestion and improving safety. The realigned launch will include the construction of a three-lane boat launch and a new parking lot with a better flow pattern.
Neenah
$1 million will assist with the renovation and reconstruction of 1,362 linear feet of vertical seawall and 565 linear feet of habitat-enhanced riprap shoreline in Doty Park.
