This is a doozie if I ever saw one.
Next up, the LCCMR recommendations on how to spend the $64 million dollars of the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund money for the next two years.

Remember, the dude in Louisiana was only asking for $300,000 to finish his work on a cure and in-field test for CWD. Here we go...
$3,406,000 - Native Prairie Bank to buy land easements
$4,907,000 - Acquire lands held privately withing state parks
$3,500,000 - Acquire Science and Nature areas (public lands where hunting and gathering is banned)
$780,000 - Promote non-game nature tourism
$800,000 - Butterfly stocking
$500,000 - Restoring native mussels in streams
$500,000 - Studying the diseases of urban carnivores (fox, coyote)
$199,000 - Mapping aquatic habitat of moose
$400,000 - Understanding brainworm transmission in moose (other than Isle Royal)
$199,000 - Understanding the decline of moose in MN (other than Isle Royal)
$360,000 - Studying extraction of deicing salts from roadsides with plants
$171,000 - Studying the survival of red-headed woodpeckers in oak savannas.
$741,000 - Study and promote the use of camelina and kura clover in corn and soybean rotations
$162,000 - Study the use of corn cobs as a substitute for road salt
$450,000 - Send kids canoeing to the BWCA
$250,000 - Increasing diversity in environmental careers
$3,000,000 - Begin thinking about how to stop invasive species
$100,000 - To stop the spread of oak wilt by removal on private lands (can we win this with a hundred grand?)
$500,000 - To create solar farm on the white earth reservation
$185,000 - To create solar panels from farm bio-waste products
$4,000,000 - To build a 15,000 square foot national loon center
$3,000,000 - To extend the Mesabi trail
$350,000 - To build a bike trail connecting Lutsen mountain to Britton peak
$350,000 - Build a campground in Babbit (come explore Babbit)
$550,000 - Build a trail and dock in Virginia
$290,000 - Build a trail and bike bridge in Vergas
$600,000 - Build a trail and bike bridge in Fergus Falls
$330,000 - Build a system to track all this pork (cause a file cabinet and spreadsheet don't work anymore?)
$200,000 - Build a parking lot, bathroom, and boat wash at Rainy Lake
If you made it this far, don't ever forget this when they say they need more money for game and fish populations.
