Come hear from Environmental Initiative staff and partners about our work on the recently passed bipartisan Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) renewal bill. This important legislation will put a question before voters to reauthorize Minnesota State Lottery funds for conservation. It also creates a new $20 million per year community grants program designed to support BIPOC, rural, and community leaders in their natural resource and environmental justice work. You will also learn about the work that lies ahead to put the concept of the community grants program into action.

There will be beverages and snacks provided at the Environmental Initiative office. A short program will begin at 4:45 p.m. Please contact Sacha Seymour-Anderson to RSVP. We look forward to seeing you!
