Ducks Unlimited Supports Vote YES Minnesota

Watch the video to learn more about the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment

Facts about the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment (as compiled by Pheasants Forever a partner in this effort)

• Each year this amendment could provide $100 million for clean water projects, $100 million for wildlife habitat, $59 million for our cultural heritage, $43 million for parks & trails.
• This money will not be handled like the lottery money. It is set up much differently and the funding is DEDICATED to specific funds for Clean Water, Outdoor Heritage, Cultural Heritage and Parks & Trails.
• This money will not simply be funneled into the DNR. The DNR will benefit, just as will all Minnesotans, but the money will be held in separate accounts.
• Spending of all money for wildlife habitat will be overseen by the Lessard Outdoor Heritage Council, made up of 8 citizens & 4 legislators.
• Significant dollars will put into matching grant funds so that groups like Pheasants Forever and Ducks Unlimited will be able to do MORE HABITAT WORK!
• Missouri passed a similar amendment and has since become a national leader in habitat and conservation.
• If we do not pass this bill, we will lose an incredible opportunity to protect our waters and our natural resources.
