Summary
Matt talks with Ben Gruber, a conservation warden in Wisconsin about the imperiled Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, the state's conservation powerhouse that supports and protects lands, water, habitat, trails, parks, and outdoor access. Despite enjoying greater than 90% support among the public, this crucial program is on the brink of being destroyed by self-serving, short-cited, and out-of-touch politicians.
