Fiscal Note: The grant award is $560,246 and is not included in the 2026 LRE budget. Similar to other cost share programs administered by the LRE Department, the county will reimburse the landowner for the project costs and the department will request reimbursement from the Wisconsin DNR for the payment made to the landowner. This is a pass-through grant and there will be no cost to the county for this project with the exception of some staff time to assist with project design, installation, and grant administration.
