Money appropriated from the environment and natural resources trust fund, and prior appropriations modified.

HF 1482 appropriates $103.3 million from Minnesota's environment and natural resources trust fund for fiscal years 2026-2027, primarily for environmental research and conservation projects. It funds specific initiatives including deer population studies on the Fond du Lac Reservation, walleye strain research, wolf-deer population analysis, rodenticide exposure studies, digitizing museum collections, forest management planning, marsh bird surveys, and wood turtle conservation. The bill directs funds to state agencies, universities, and conservation groups like the Minnesota Zoological Society for targeted research and data collection. These are one-time appropriations with most funds allocated for the 2026 fiscal year, supporting science-based management of natural resources.
