The bill appropriates a total of $28,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of natural resources for various forestry capital projects. Specifically, it allocates $8,000,000 for reforestation efforts on state forest lands, which includes activities such as purchasing native seeds and seedlings, planting, and site preparation. Additionally, $18,000,000 is designated for the design and construction of a state forest nursery facility, while $2,000,000 is earmarked for forest stand improvement on state lands.

To fund these appropriations, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $28,000,000, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
