The Perpetual Notion Machine speaks with Charles Carlin, Director of Strategic Initiatives with Gathering Waters, Wisconsin’s Alliance for Land Trusts, about Knowles-Nelson Lobby Day taking place March 12, 2025. The DNR has requested $100 million in annual funding for the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program over the next decade. Advocates for the program will meet downtown and march to the Capitol to meet with representatives and senators to rally support for the program. Numerous polls and surveys conducted over the years have show that 9 in 10 Wisconsin residents, across political affiliations, support increased investment to protect natural areas in the state. We talk about the efforts to secure this funding within the current political climate.
