Legislative Funding For Minnesota Invasives

2010 Minnesota’s Wildflowers $300,000 Weed Program Funding Initiative  

On March 2, 2010 Minnesota’s Wildflowers submitted their 2010 Legislative funding initiative to Senator Satveer Chaudhary, Chairman of the Senate’s Natural Resources Committee, requesting $300,000.00 for the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s state weed program.

Minnesota’s Wildflowers are asking you to now contact your state legislators and asking them for their support of this important legislation.

The time for this funding is now, not 2011 or 2012 or whenever the economy gets better because it’s not going to. Minnesota does have weed law now but it is unfunded. Non-native invasive species at present run completely unchecked throughout the entire state.

We cannot promise that you that we will get this funding from these efforts but we will have tried and for sure – no funding without your help!
