MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The Department of Natural Resources is advocating for its proposed budget.
“Governor Evers 2025-27 budget includes some much needed investments for our state parks. From the budget meetings I’ve had with legislators, it’s clear that there’s a lot of shared and bipartisan interest and support for our parks, and I’m hopeful that the budget that makes it to the governor’s desk will reflect that,” said DNR Secretary Karen Hyun.
The DNR is requesting $1.2 billion in the next biennial budget, a 2% increase. Republicans who control the legislature’s Joint Finance Committee will need to approve any increase in funding.
