The bill appropriates funds for wilderness programs in Minnesota, specifically targeting outdoor educational and recreational experiences. It allocates $675,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $729,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the commissioner of administration. These funds are designated for a grant to Wilderness Inquiry, which will support the Canoemobile program and the Pyramid of Outdoor Engagement.

The initiatives aim to provide a series of outdoor experiences that align with Minnesota graduation standards and connect youth and families to the state's natural resources, outdoor traditions, and cultural heritage. This funding is intended to enhance access to public lands and waterways, fostering a deeper appreciation for Minnesota's environment and heritage among participants.
