While Governor Tony Evers allows certain state parks to reopen effective Friday, Wisconsin farmers will have to wait a few days for any answers on funding distributions from federal aid.
In a conversation with Pam Jahnke, Evers says they’re working through details and guidance from the federal government on how aid is going to be disbursed to farmers, but he said he wants to make it as direct as possible.
The DNR will reopen 34 state parks and forests on May 1, 2020 under special conditions to help minimize overcrowding, allow for social distancing requirements, and to promote a safe and enjoyable experience for staff and visitors.
“Outdoor recreation is important for both physical and mental health, and I know how important it is to Wisconsinites to get outside and enjoy Wisconsin’s natural resources and spring weather,” said Gov. Evers. “With a few adjustments, like closing one day a week for maintenance and reduced hours of operation, folks should be able to get outside and enjoy our parks safely and respectfully.”
