Subject: Opposition to Current A.B. 315 and A.B. 612 Bills Text: Dear Senator [LAST NAME], My name is [YOUR NAME], and I am a constituent from [CITY/TOWN]. I am writing to express my strong opposition to the current version of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program reauthorization included in Assembly Bills 315 and 612 and strongly urge to seek a bipartisan compromise. The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program has long been one of Wisconsin’s most effective conservation tools, helping protect public lands, expand recreational access, and support local communities across the state. Unfortunately, the current pair of bills do not strengthen the program or preserve its original intent. It weakens land acquisition funding and limits the program’s ability to meet Wisconsin’s growing conservation and outdoor recreation needs. As we approach the next state budget cycle, it is critical that Wisconsin maintains a Stewardship Program that is adequately funded and capable of delivering meaningful conservation, recreation, and community benefits. I urge you to work collectively to revise this legislation and restore it to protect the integrity of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. Thank you for your time and for your service to our district. I hope you will stand with constituents who care deeply about protecting Wisconsin’s outdoor heritage. Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
