Wisconsin Public Radio: Gov. Scott Walker is asking the state Natural Resources Board to quickly approve a land easement of nearly 21,000 acres in northwest Wisconsin's Sawyer County.
Walker made the surprise announcement Friday at the Wisconsin Conservation Congress Convention in Green Bay.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the state would purchase the land, which would be known as the Lake of the Pines Conservation Easement, from Northwoods ATP — a European firm that acquired the property in 2009 — for $7.2 million using funding from the current fiscal year's Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.
