In 2008, Minnesota’s voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment (Legacy Amendment) to the Minnesota Constitution to: protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.

Some of Pioneer PBS' programs are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through legislative appropriation from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

If you are in support of the showcasing of the arts, history, and cultural heritage of western Minnesota and beyond, please tell your local legislators.

For more information about Pioneer PBS programs that are supported by these funds please contact President and General Manager Shari Lamke, who is managing the Legacy grant at 1-800-726-3178 or email her at yourtv@pioneer.org.
