City Of Platteville Seeks Grant For Acquisition Of Land
Grant Requested For Stewardship Project In City Of Platteville
MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced the city of Platteville has applied for a 50% matching grant as part of the Urban Green Space subprogram of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. The grant will assist with purchasing 11.2 acres of land in the city of Platteville in Grant County.
The DNR is proposing to make the determination that the prohibition of gun hunting is necessary to protect public safety because of the parcels’ proximity to a school, a hospital and commercial buildings. The DNR has also determined a prohibition on the use of body-gripping, jawed and/or cable restraint traps is necessary to protect against user conflict.
The DNR’s initial assessment of the allowed nature-based outdoor activities may be downloaded from the Stewardship Public Notice webpage, or you may request a copy via email by contacting Cheryl Housley at Cheryl.Housley@wisconsin.gov.
The public is encouraged to submit written comments on the proposed acquisition by Dec. 5, 2024 to:

In accordance with s. NR 52.04 (2) (b), Wis. Adm. Code, objections about the hunting activities on this property must show the proposed prohibition to be inconsistent with s. 23.0916 (2) (b), Stats., and s. NR 52.05, Wis. Adm. Code.
