“Ducks Unlimited applauds the work done by Rep. Tony Kurtz and Sen. Pat Testin to provide meaningful and long-overdue updates to the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. This proposed legislation will allow much needed improvements to be made to our existing public lands, while also ensuring that a useable program will continue with input from both the legislative and executive branches,” said Zach Hartman, Chief Policy Officer at Ducks Unlimited. “The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program has helped provide more access and opportunities for Wisconsin’s hunters, anglers and trappers for more than 30 years and we are extremely pleased that members of the legislature are working to see that continue.”
