The bill proposes an appropriation of $23,000,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026, specifically allocated for the establishment of a wood upcycling campus. This funding will be granted to the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association, with the aim of constructing a facility that will process wood waste into various products, including lumber, furniture, building materials, compost, mulch, biochar, and energy.

The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance environmental sustainability by promoting the upcycling of wood waste, thereby reducing landfill use and fostering the creation of valuable products from what would otherwise be discarded. The bill emphasizes the importance of innovative solutions in waste management and resource utilization within the state of Minnesota.
