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. This funding is designated for a grant to Wilderness Inquiry, which will support the Canoemobile program and the Pyramid of Outdoor Engagement.

These programs aim to provide a series of outdoor experiences that are designed to align with Minnesota's graduation standards while also connecting youth and families to the state's natural resources, outdoor traditions, and cultural heritage. The initiative emphasizes the importance of engaging the community with public lands and waterways, fostering a deeper appreciation for Minnesota's environment and history.
